Received call with local area code : XXXX. Recorded voice indicated that the call was to address a problem with my current credit card and this was my last chance to correct it. I spoke to a representative, who identified himself as " XXXX '' with employee number XXXX. When I asked him to identify the business from which he was calling, he paused and then responded " nothing ''. I believe he had previously mentioned Chase Bank during his opening salutation, but he also mentioned XXXX and XXXX Card, and possibly XXXX XXXX as well. I tried to figure out why they were calling me despite being registered with Do Not Call but he began to make nonsensical responses. I hung up.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

On XX/XX/2023, Equifax reported a medical debt of {$120.00} from a medical collection agency called XXXX XXXX on my credit report from XXXX XXXX XXXX and I live in California. This was immediately disputed, as it violates the new law prohibiting medical debt under {$500.00} to be reported to a credit bureau and it was paid by health insurance. Equifax should not be allowing medical collection agencies to report any medical debt whatsoever under {$500.00} as per the U.S. Congress Medical Debt Relief Act of 2023. They are violating the provisions congress put in place to protect consumers. I disputed this with Equifax electronically and verbally twice. The information has not been removed from my file and they said it may take them several months to delete medical debt from all consumers credit files. This is unacceptable and they should be removing this type of information immediately when it is brought to their attention to protect consumers,

Company: Cooling & Winter LLC (GA)

In XX/XX/XXXX my identity was compromised and as a result I called all the banks and companies that I had credit cards with. Everyone was helpful in closing, freezing, or changing accounts except for XXXX XXXX XXXX. When I called them in XX/XX/XXXX to inform them of the problem to ask them to cancel the cards - they would not do so and did not cancel them. Nor did the person escalate my call to the security department or refer to me to a website where I could file a formal written complaint. After this I logged into the XXXX XXXX XXXX website to see if I could find how to report the problem. I saw no alerts to set up and under my profile in the section of income was listed {$100000.00}. I have never made a 6 figure salary and do not know how this got changed? I changed the salary amount to what was correct for me. That lowered the credit limit on the cards. For 2 1/2 years I paid on a mount that would not go down - about {$600.00} per month totals to about {$14000.00} ( rough estimate ). This does not include what I had paid prior to XX/XX/XXXX. The amount on the statement never changed and in fact towards the end started to go up. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX several times trying to figure out what was going on and got very little help. One time the person even told me not to worry, " because you can't take it with you. '' I ran out of money trying to pay this amount off in XX/XX/XXXX ( my savings was gone ). 

After I stopped paying I received notices and a notice about a charge off. I tried calling the numbers they said to call and never could get through to anywhere to leave a message or talk to a person. Then in XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX received a notice that a civil suit had been filed against me by XXXX  XXXX XXXX I picked up the suit and hired a lawyer. The law firm representing XXXX XXXX XXXX is a local firm here in Georgia. With my lawyer we filled out the papers and answered the questions and sent them to the firm representing XXXX XXXX XXXX. Per my lawyer, no reply from the law firm was ever received. So XXXX  of this year ( XXXX ) my lawyer asked to be released from the case. I had said that I had prove of payments in of bank statements showing that payments had been sent. 

As of XX/XX/XXXX ; the local law firm representing XXXX XXXX XXXX has filed a request for this case to appear in court without a Jury in XX/XX/XXXX. My lawyer 's withdrawal request was approved on XX/XX/XXXX So as of now I have no legal counsel. 

Because I do not have legal counsel now, I thought perhaps filing this with the CFPB might help bring about new insights and closure to this case.
