Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: The CBE Group, Inc. (PA)

I received a debt collection letter from the CBE Group Inc, a third party debt collector for XXXX. They said I owe {$210.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX which is entirely false. I switched over to XXXX back in XXXX and left the XXXX account under my name because a family member was still active on my account and as I was told on multiple occasions by a few XXXX customer care agents , all rewards including promotions will be lost on the account if I decide to change the account holder name. They've also switched over to XXXX back in XX/XX/XXXX. This is where the deception begins. XXXX sold the account to CBE Group Inc once my family member left XXXX and switched over to XXXX. I didn't receive notice about a bill until yesterday when I checked my mailbox and seen a letter that was sent from this third party debt collector affiliated with XXXX. I also want to address that XXXX never sent me a final bill, they sold the account soon after and now CBE Group Inc wants to collect a debt from me that is not owed for the amount stated. I know my rights as a consumer and I do not owe this company a single penny. My family member 's phone was unlocked after 60 days and they waited 14 months to switch to a different carrier due to problems with billing and their data being leaked. It's their right to switch carriers if a phone is unlocked but the remaining balance would have to be paid. And I will reiterate, a final bill was never sent to my current mailing address. I also have a witness at XXXX who made the transfer in-person and they assisted my family member to pay all fees upfront including the remaining balance with XXXX because it's not possible to upgrade without settling the remaining balance on the previous device. I will be disputing this debt collection to all three major credit bureaus. They've closed the account as of recent and came up with their own numbers.

I have a loan with XXXX XXXX. I have always made my payments on time. For some reason, I realized that there was a late payment on my credit report.

I tried contacting the 3 Credit Bureaus and the XXXX XXXX  but they have provided me with nothing tangible which reflects anything verifiable. There is definitely an error with their part. I was never late. Investigate properly and please delete for 100 % accuracy.

As usual, I attempted to hand deliver my mtg.payt.to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX branch on - however, XXXX XXXX  XXXX would not allow clients to enter the branch & would not accept my payment thru the locked door. I tried another branch the next day & had the same result. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX locked & refused payment slide under door. 
I then attempted several times to send mtg. payt. via electronic funds transfer. XXXX, the bank that I write checks from, ( formerly XXXX ) was in the process of being taken over by XXXX XXXX. Unknown to myself ( or any customers of XXXX ), XXXX had started to transition/change routing # 's. My electronic funds transfer attempted mtg.payt. was rejected several times due to XXXX not accepting the existing XXXX routing # which I had for 40+ years. I went to the XXXX branch, explained the issue & was provided with an incorrect new routing #. The eft failed again. ( XXXX employees were unaware that XXXX had started the change over ). I finally obtained a correct XXXX routing # & the payt. was processed. 
These circumstances are beyond my control. I should not be held responsible for XXXX XXXX XXXX refusing an on time mtg. payt. XXXX bank acquisition changing of routing #. ( Note : XXXX said they would have honored the mtg.payt.check with the old routing # if XXXX XXXX XXXX had accepted my check with the XXXX routing #. ) I have provided attached evidence of my contact with XXXX XXXX  XXXX ( no response ), letter from XXXX admitting XXXX did not recognize their own routing #, and I that I had sufficient funds. There is an error ( of course ) in the XXXX letter. The routing # change began in XXXXXXXX XXXX, it was completed in XX/XX/2020 as stated in the XXXX letter ( they are a mess ). I have provided documentation of XXXX takeover of XXXX, proof of multiple attempted mtg. payt.s prior to the due date.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (MA)

I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.
