Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Feldman & Stern, LLC (FL)

This debt collector is calling my family as well as people outside my family making menacing comments saying they need to tell me to call their law firm immediately. Attempting to portray my situation as a legal or criminal bind. It is embarrassing the amount of people they've contacted over this matter. Also at one point made comments stating how would it look working at a bank and them knowing I have this debt. As if to threaten my work if I don't communicate with them about this debt.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (FL)

Wellsfargo bank is not giving me a confirmation of debt. The definition of confirmation of debt is wet signature. A bill or statement is not a confirmation of debt. If you can not provide what I am asking for you need to discharge the debt. 

I, XXXX, XXXX agent to said principle XXXX XXXX Ira hereby accept all titles, rights and interests owed to principle XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX I hereby instruct ceo of this account to apply the principle balance to said amount each and every bill cycle ; If these instructions can not be honored please respond through postal mail giving details of non- acceptable ; if that you have accepted my offer and moving forward also apply the above instructions. 

By : XXXX, XXXX, Ira Without recourse ucc 1-308 I, : XXXX : XXXX XXXX authorized representative XXXX am sending the coupon of the account summary to Wellsfargo as payment for what I owe. I have recently learned that a coupon is a way of paying according to ucc3-104. I noticed that you have sent me these coupons and ask me to remit them with another check or money order and then you have redeemed both. That is double dipping and is illegal. 

I am potentially willing to overlook this crime as long as you accept this legal form of payment, so I am sending the payment coupon to be accepted as the payment, per ucc 3-603 ( b ) if tender of payment of an obligation to pay the tender, of payment of an obligation to pay an instrument and the tender is refused, there is discharge to the extent of the amount of the tender of the party having a right of recourse with respect to the obligation to which the tender relates.

If you reject the payment coupon or claim to have shred it, I still expect you to follow the law and discharge the debt.

Here are some definitions to clarify what I am talking about to state statues if you need a refresher.

Instrument : A written legal document such as a contract, lease, deed, will or bond. These instruments are worth their face value so the amount to be discharged will be the amount I have seton the voluchers. If you refuse to accept a negotiable instrument I will send the Irs 3949A and I have enclosed a copy of my fee schedule and I will be entitled to collect accordingly amounts listed on my fee schedule Volcher : a small printed piece of paper that entitles the holder to a discount?

Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response from the 3Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you. They have shown negligence and an act of refusal of complying with my request. I know for a fact that they are to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law, to provide proof, documents, and give definite and accurate responses, within the given statutory time. However, if they failed to do so, they are obliged to remove or update the items which are erroneous and unverified. Their unfavorable and unacceptable actions have been hurting my credit scores immensely. Please see below the items I am concerned of : XX/XX/XXXX

This account is showing on my credit report as charged off and is reporting every month that the account is still charged off, However i filed bankruptcy XXXX XXXX and included the company. There response was the account had charged off before i filed bankruptcy, but I did include them and the collection agency that it was sent to. They should have reported the account past due and then reported charge off for two months until i filed bankruptcy and then they should have reported the account as XXXX and stop reporting charge off every month as they are also trying to collect on that balance that was included in my bankruptcy. This has charged me higher rates on current auto loans and also denied me for other ones due to them reporting the account as still being negative. They have refused to fix the reported information on my credit. I have contacted an attorney out of XXXX that has told me to take all these steps so when we go to court i can prove that I tried every possible step to take to fix this issue. I also filed a XXXX, There reply was that the account was charged off before bankruptcy BUT the account was included in my bankruptcy charged off or not. This is my final attempt to resolve this before a lawsuit is filed for unfair reporting, and collecting on an account that was included in my bankruptcy

After doing a deep dive into my credit report I noticed a significant amount of inaccurate information. There were multiple accounts that reported with different dates and amounts. I even noticed some accounts I didnt recognize. I tried disputing these negative items with all three credits bureaus directly, but Ive yet to get any progress toward getting these items removed from my credit report. According to the 15 U.S.C 1581 Law there should not be any negative damages to my credit report, this is setting me back time to start my business. Back in XXXX of XXXX I noticed some of these items were on my XXXX XXXX and XXXX accounts so I disputed them online, if given the option to. However, every item was said to be verified by each company, some of which were collectors at that point. So I asked for the information used in the investigation to come that conclusion, in which that was never provided. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Equifax, XXXX and XXXX by phone to update my information on file and I provided them with my most up to date address and phone number. After this I pulled my full credit report and asked each bureau to deleted each negative item still reporting on my credit report, in which they still have not done so or provided information used to determine their decision. Ive prepared a letter of each item, the date and reason it needs to be removed. Ive also attached screenshots of my credit report where the information is inaccurate. I hope this information is helpful to you in the process of helping me getting these items removed. Thank you.
