Product: Debt collection — Telecommunications debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Credence Resource Management, LLC (LA)

CREDENCE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT was paid in full for a debt being reported on my credit report. I was told if the debt was paid in full, I will be provided a pay and delete letter due to the debt negatively being reported on my credit report. 

XXXX violated my consumer rights by attempting to collect a debt I did not have with their company. Due to their scare tactics and them threatening me, I paid this debt with the assumption it will be completely deleted from my credit report. This collection is hurting my credit score and is preventing me from being approved for other credit accounts. I have reached out to this company, and they were very rude and didn't acknowledge the fact this debt was paid in full. 

You have violated the FDCPA 1006.30a and its new rule by parking this alleged debt on my consumer reports. Cease and Desist the reporting of this alleged Debt immediately or I will escalate this matter to taking legal action. 

I have not given you written permission to put anything on my credit profile 15 USC 1681b2. 

You have no permissible purpose by law to contact third parties with my private or personal information. Your offenses amount to Aggravated Identity Theft pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 1028A. You have knowingly transferred, possessed, or used, without lawful authority, a means of identification of me, which is a felony punishable with up to 2 years of imprisonment, in addition to civil liability. 

I AM A LITIGIOUS CONSUMER I WILL NOT HESITATE TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST CREDENCE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 15 USC 1692c ( c ) Ceasing communication. 

This collection agency threatens people to pay their debt although the original debt is not with them. They also give false hope of a pay and delete, just to get the payment and doesn't follow through with deleting the debt from the credit report. These tactics goes against the FCRA and violates my rights as a consumer, and I want this debt removed.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Westlake Services, LLC (NC)

Westlake Financial has refused my disputes through the credit bureaus, neglecting to update the account 's current status as paid in full for less than full amount. The debt had been sold to a debt collector, XXXX, and I was told by them in the beginning that I was working toward removing this stain from my credit report, only to be told upon paying the agreed settlement that I would have to get Westlake to do it. Entirely misleading. I have sent Westlake the attached confirmation of settlement, bur they won't do anything with it and lied to me on 3 occasions about getting me to the proper dept. This is keeping me from buying a home for my family.

Product: Prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Trouble using the card — Trouble using the card to spend money in a store or online
Company: U.S. BANCORP (CO)

XX/XX/2024 : Contacted Kroger CardHolder Services because the prepaid Visa card that I purchased ( issued by US Bank National Association ) did not have a legible CVV security code. This made it impossible to use the card for purchase online. Similarly, the card does not scan, so it can not be used in stores, either. The customer service representative explained that I must submit a refund through the online portal ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), however, this was not possible as I did not have a legible CVV on the card. Instead, I was instructed to fax information to Kroger CardHolder Services, which I did later this same day. 

XX/XX/2024 : Contacted Kroger CardHolder Services to see if the faxed information had been received. It had not been received. I opted to send the fax over again on this day. 

XX/XX/2024 : Contacted Kroger CardHolder Services to see if the faxed information had been received. This time, it had been received, however, the Kroger CardHolder Services ( on behalf of US Bank National Association ) representative instructed me that one of the items on the fax was not legible. I sent a copy of the information to myself when I faxed it, and verified that everything was clearly legible. At this time, I was told to send another fax with custom settings ( I was specifically instructed to " enlighten '' the image 200 % ). 

At this point, I felt compelled to submit a complaint with the CFPB, as Kroger CardHolder Services does not seem to be making a good faith effort on behalf of US Bank National Association to refund the product which : 1. Did not have a CVV and could not be used online 2. Did not scan, and could not be used in stores 3. Could not be refunded through the web portal due to lack of CVV 4. Could not be refunded through faxed information due to customized image settings At this point, I don't expect I'll receive a refund or get an opportunity to spend the money that is still credited to this useless card.
