Installers point of contact threatened to lien my property where the product was installed and damage my credit record in a seven day period if I did not operate by their directives ... This Thursday evening XXXX/XXXX/2017 I received a call from a collection agency and a visit from a process server.

Company: Chaplain Financial Services LLC (NJ)

There are several numbers used in this scam, but they all go back to a XXXX, which does not seem to exist, except as a XXXX. in XXXX and Georgia. The XXXX numbers I have been called from are XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, XXXX,XXXX, XXXX and the XXXX women that continuously harass me are XXXX and XXXX and XXXX. Between them, they probably call me 8 times a day. 
They claim that I owe a payday loan debt from 2011, in the amount of {$1300.00} through XXXX. I have NEVER taken out a payday loan, but they said all things lead back to me and my information, therefore I am responsible and I can not fight it, it 's too late. 
I told them i refused to pay and asked for a Debt Validation Notice or the documents with my signature. She informed me that they do not have that information and can not get it, that I should have received it from the original debtor. They never answer the phone with the name of the company, it 's always litigation or their name. I believe they are calling from cell phones! 
I asked them to never call again, they will not get a dime from me, she tried telling me they will send it for prosecution. Yet, they ca n't even explain why it took them XXXX years to finally contact me if I owed such a debt. TOTAL SCAM!!!

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account — Transaction was not authorized
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (TN)

For the last 12 months or so, I have noticed theres clearly fraud happening with my account, charge I dont recognize, purchases, you name it. I have filed multiple claims and changed cards multiple times and even changed my checking account information. 

I DO NOT give my card to anyone, but in restaurants and the ocasional online purchases. Im 100 % sure I have been victim or fraud and someone is literally picking me to steal. 

The drop that spilled the milk was that theres was a {$21.00} and change charge coming in every month for 6 months that even caused overdrafts a couple of times. I didnt noticed, Im a busy single mom of XXXX that works her XXXX off to put food on their table. So when I noticed what was going on I called the Regions Bank and explained, we cancelled the card and they advised they filed the dispute. But I also called the company charging me and told them to stop and to give me my money back. They said theyll give me a refund for all charges, but they stated that the card needed to be updated for that to happened, so I naively followed their steps and updated my card on their system so they coul refund the money as it turns out the very next day I get another charge, then 2 days later they refunded 2 amounts of {$29.00} each. I didnt know where they got that amount from, but after I saw I printed the statements and realized they charged that amount once too. 

So I decided to call the bank and explain just to find out they denied the claim, then I called the company again and conferenced them in to each other, just to hear them say they never cancelled anything ... How if asking you to refund me, you didnt close whatever I didnt know it was open? Thats why supposedly I got charged after updating my card on their system. The bank lady filed another claim and the dude finally closed whatever was open. 

They said that if it wasnt me, how my email was in there? I literally said, I dont know, how is your information fitting in? I dont know either! 

But Im just tired of being robbed! 

Please help.

XXXX Apartments continued to charge me after I moved from their property in which they filed an eviction on me for late rent. Rather than have an eviction on my record, I decided to move out and found another place to move in on XX/XX/2015. XXXX continued to charge me through the month of XX/XX/XXXX even though I no longer resided at the property. When I received documentation from them on the balance due, I immediately inquired about it to the property and they claimed that 'because I did n't turn in the keys ' that they were still charging me. I provided them with a copy of my new lease and the property manager advised that the only way for them to stop billing me was to return the keys and sign a form even though THEY were the ones who initiated the eviction process. After looking through the running charges, I noticed that they not only charged me for rent and utilities after I moved out, they also charged me to replace the carpet although we never did a move-out inspection nor did they ever provide any information on anything in the apartment being damaged enough to replace and subsequently charge me for. Based on the statement, XXXX illegally charged me for the apartment for anything after XX/XX/2015. They unlawfully swindled me into believing that the charges were valid and that the only way to close out my lease was to return the keys when in fact they replace all locks after a tenant moves out. They also had replaced someone into my apartment at the same time they were charging me resulting in double revenue illegally. I have requested this be investigated further as they are reporting that I owe {$7000.00} in unpaid charges for the apartment, however, {$6000.00} of that amount is due to overcharging and supposed utility bills that the property never provided bills for.

Company: Sonnenschein Financial Services, Inc. (IL)

On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke to XXXX XXXX at Sonnenschein Financial. He told me about a red light photo ticket and said he was calling to get it paid. 

I asked him for verification of debt. He got very angry and told me he was putting this on my credit report today if I didnt pay. He also told me I would get my VOD in minutes. I also never received a dunning letter. 

I never received the verification of debt and through research I found a multi- settlement between states and CRAs regarding these tickets stating that they would not be reported to CRAs any longer. So he lied to me. 

Although the FDCPA does not apply to this situation, he broke several provisions and UDAPP violations along the way with harassing and unreasonable requests. 

Lastly, when I asked him if these calls were recorded he told me he was done with this conversation and hung up on me.
