Consumer complaint received 2022-12-21
Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Communication tactics — Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language
Company: Cascade Capital, LLC (TX)

I received multiple calls in one day, and per the caller, I was being sent to a collection from an unknown medical visit, to which I have heard nothing about from 4 years ago. I said the debt is NOT mine and that they were harassing me by calling me multiple times. the man speaking to me threatened me and told me I was wrong. I informed them that I am protected by law for surprise billing and to contact my congressman, the man did not know what a congressman was. I questioned his authority and that he was even a legitimate citizen of this country. he belittled me by saying that President Trump, who passed this law along with my congressman, was not to be called President. I told the man I was not going to argue with him about this and that if he called me anymore and did not let this go, I will file harassment against him. I then got a letter saying it is in collection and this company is Ability recovery services, in XXXX XXXX for {$340.00} I also would like to add that if this was a real bill that belonged to me, why did it take 4 years to be brought to my attention? 

Also, it says the company claiming I owe them from something 4 years ago, I have never done any business with.Why would I try to work something out with either of these companies when I don't even believe that this is my debt? I have Identity Theft affidavits on file both with my state and through the Federal level. How do I know if someone tried to falsely use my identity. Is this even a legitimate medical bill? Explain to me how Cascade Capital Funding is associated with a medical bill? I have never heard of such a place. I asked Ability Recovery to give me an itemized bill for this claim and they did not provide it to me. Who would pay a bill that sounds like some sort of extortion mafia who can not even prove that a bill belongs to me or what it is for. This reeks of FRAUD!!

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY)

This complaint in against Experian Credit Bureau. There are 2 complaints. 
1. I have an account with them. When I log in, it asks to verify my identity via phone or text message. The phone number they have is an old number. So instead I choose " security questions ''. When I click on security questions, it takes me to a page that says " Ooops '' and says I should call them. However, when I call them, I can't get a live person. Only automated services. The automated services makes me repeatedly input my data for clearance. It then tells me to go online and reset my password. But when I reset my password, it tells me " Ooops ''. I've been going in circles for 10 days. I've tried connecting with other departments in Experian, just to get a live person to help. No one. No humans work in Experian.

2. When I go through the circle of the automated services, it tells me that my credit in NOT frozen. However, I've been trying to lease a car and every time they do the credit check, it says my account is frozen. 

I can't log into my account to check. I can't get anyone on the phone. I've emailed them. They emailed me back and asked for more account information ( still no human phone number given ). I responded. My account is still frozen and I can't get the car that has been sitting XXXX weeks waiting for me. 

I'm XXXX XXXX XXXX, I've literally started getting XXXX XXXX  from this. I understand your protecting our credit identity, but this is literally ridiculous.

XX/XX/XXXX.

To whomever, I have had a

MoneyGram Account for many years and Errors are common with both MoneyGram.com and MoneyGram Payment Systems. Since I initiated the first of seven transactions
on XX/XX/XXXX MonyGram has not tried to contact me either by e-mail, phone or post.

They held my money for the first 2 trans
actions until my receiver e-mailed me on XX/XX/XXXX to tell me MG was holding the money and would not give it to him. 
{ the first was sent on the XXXX and the second was sent on the XXXX } and I receive no notice from MG. 

Unaware of what was going on, I tried to send three more on the XXXX they kept getting an error before I could complete them. Assuming MG was have trouble I tried two more later and was able to get them through.

After an 8 min. call on XX/XX/XXXX, MG gave me two new Numbers and I had to go to a MG store and get my money back. STILL nothing was said about the on line transactions. The only explanation was we choose not to do business with you. 

The initial attempt was on XX/XX/XXXX, I then started to check the accounts on line and discovered the three transactions were still in my MG account marked WITH A RED ERROR, on the XX/XX/XXXX and my bank account had three pending charges for them. 

On Friday XX/XX/XXXX the transactions were completed in the Bank account and still no word from MG. 

After I made a 40 minute phone call to MG on Friday they told me they would need two business days to investigate and correct the problem. That I should see the resolution on Wednesday XX/XX/XXXX. 

Wednesday came and there was NO CHANGE ON EITHER ACCOUNT. 
Another 22 Minute phone call reveled NOTHING, and I was told they needed another 72 hours. 

I called XXXXXXXX XXXX and after another 26 minute call they said they could make the funds available in 12 hours. 

Then on XX/XX/XXXX three transactions showed up on my bank account as pending and the transactions on my MG account were changed from A RED ERROR to canceled. 

I still have not been contacted by MoneyGram.com or MoneyGram Payment systems???? 

I just received three notices from collection agency on XX/XX/XXXX. 
I do not know that You are not a scam and I need an Official notice from MoneyGram.com.

I am very concerned about the validity and accuracy of the recent investigation done by Transunion. I requested for an investigation because the accounts have nothing to do with me. I am a victim of identity theft and the accounts are not my responsibility. XXXX failed to give me the result of their investigation. I assume they were unable to verify it. The error has affected my credit score tremendously. CFPB please step up and delete this ASAP, this is very exhausting. nobody wants to grant me a loan because of this.

Received several phone calls on XX/XX/2023, I answered the phone to blank air 3 times, and once got a recording @ XXXX pm. I waited on the line and finally pushed enough buttons to get someone from " Check and Go '', a title loan company. I asked who she was and what company and had to drag the information out of the caller. I ask for something in writing because I have never heard of the company. She said she didn't have to send me anything. I asked several more times for something in writing and she refused. She didn't want to verify the business name, the debt amount and would not give me any more information. She pressured me to answer question requiring a " yes or no '' and I refused. She finally hung up after I demanded something in writing to verify the company/debt and she hung up.
