Consumer complaint received 2023-06-06
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Conn's, Inc. (LA)

On XXXX I purchased a washer and dryer from Conn 's Home Plus Appliances located in XXXX, LA. I financed the purchase through Conn 's Home Plus in house finance department for {$2500.00} plus interest for 34 months. My monthly payment was {$110.00}. I set up auto pay through Conn 's Plus web site using my bank 's debit card to be drafted each month on the payment due date. In XX/XX/XXXX, I requested a pay off amount for this account and was told that {$1100.00} would pay the account in full. 
On XXXX I made an online payment using my bank 's debit card for {$1100.00}. My bank notified me on XXXX that Conn 's Home Plus drafted my account for {$1100.00} using my bank debit card that was on file on their web site without my permission. I notified my bank that the payment Conn 's drafted on XXXX was a duplicate. On XXXX Conn 's returned only {$1100.00} with no explanation as to why that amount. The {$1100.00} I paid to Conn 's on XXXX to pay off my loan was not returned and I assumed my account was paid in full on that date. 

On XXXX I received an email from Conn 's Home Plus that my account was currently due {$47.00}. I called and advised that there is an error on their part. I had paid off this account back in XX/XX/XXXX and that they should check their records. They opened a claim or ticket as they claimed but said they had never received any payment since they returned the {$1100.00} to my bank XXXX XXXX. I advised that XXXX payments were made in XX/XX/XXXX and only one was returned. They continued to say they never received my payment made on XXXX for {$1100.00}. I went on line and my payment records had been deleted from my on line account and now they have locked me out. I requested a paper copy of my payment records which they did send. Their records of my payments make no sense after they said they returned payment in XX/XX/XXXX. I went on and paid what they said I owed to protect my credit. I contacted my bank and they did a trace on the payments made to Conn 's from my bank account. They confirmed that Conn 's financial institution received my payment of {$1100.00} made on XXXX. The transaction ID # for payment made on XXXX by my bank was XXXX and transaction ID # for payment of {$1100.00} made on XXXX by my bank was XXXX. I gave all of this information to Conn 's and they still insist that they did not received 2 payments and had returned only the one they say they received although they could not explain the differences in the amounts and why my account has not been given any credit for the money I have paid since XX/XX/XXXX notice of amounts due. I stopped paying because Conn 's now owes me a refund for over payment. 

I need help in resolving this matter and it appears Conn 's Home Plus is not acting in good faith and keeping my money with no explanation why. I am attaching all of the documentation I have generated in this matter. What ever help your office can give will be greatly appreciated.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MI)

Contacted the bureaus and creditors about my accounts being reported on my credit file that breaks numerous amount of laws within the FRCA & Truth Lending Act.. I have sent out mail numerous amount of times from the year of XX/XX/XXXX til now XX/XX/XXXX and I have not gotten a clear detailed documented reason for why the information is still reporting and how could these companies go against there reporting rules. I am seeking litigation and ask that this information and case be reported to Federal Trade Commission & attorney general. I ask that these accounts listed be throughly investigated and deleted from my file immediately!

Reason For : Over a period of time I have been contacting each creditor & bureau regarding inaccurate debts reporting to my credit file I have contacted each creditor & bureau regarding them going against the fair credit reporting act section 609 & 611. To my nature the law states that creditors & bureaus are all supposed to report 100 % accurate information in this case they are not. To be more specific these creditors & bureaus are reporting inaccurate debts which is bringing my credit file down tremendously & when I ask for a written response showing the validation from the creditor to bureau I keep getting prolonged or not getting all the information I asked for or they would report another inaccurate date, balances, open account date & then say its validated. 

Credit bureaus XXXX, Transunion, & XXXX have been going against the rules they are supposed to follow & have not been providing me with the proper documentation from each creditors Creditors are updating my file through a computer generated system when I asked for all of the proper documentation showing the accounts they validate I still have not receive the proper documentation & under law of the FCRA each of these accounts reporting on my credit file should be removed. 


I have sent XXXX transunion & XXXX documents properly showing where everything is inaccurate that they are reporting onto my file even though its right there for them to see. These companies know they are wrong & I am demanding a change I am demanding that they remove these accounts by law or they will get sued for that I have been dealing with this problem for a while now & i am no longer accepting this!
