I am writing in reference to a dispute I sent to Experian Credit Bureau on XX/XX/2018 requesting to verify, validate, and provide evidence that they had the right to report the debt of {$1900.00} to XXXX. 

Experian did not provide the verifiable proof as I requested within the 30 days. All they did was send me an update on XX/XX/2018 updating a small piece of information they already had to meet the 30-day requirement. I specificially requested evidence as I had a right to. I have yet to receive the proof that they had the right to report this debt. I am requesting your assistance in verifying that each credit bureau followed the process according to the FCRA. Based on the fact that the verifiable proof was not provided within the 30-day dispute period, I request the debt be deleted from my credit file as they did not meet the deadline to provide the information. 

Please see attached correspondence originally sent to the credit bureau, and their responses. 

Item : XXXX XXXX Original Creditor : XXXX Amount : {$1900.00}

I reviewed my Consumer Reports and noticed that there was an inaccurate account ( s ) on my credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX Acct # XXXX Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report Consumer Information to the best of the ability with maximum accuracy. 

I contacted " Experian and XXXX " asked for them to investigate & remove the inaccurate account from my consumer report that they are illegally reporting and I requested specifically the alleged original application bearing my signature and they have not been able to provide such proof to me. 

This is a violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act, and these disputed items may not appear on my credit report if they can't be verified by any evidence or proof. 


Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX

On XX/XX/XXXX First Progress removed a charge off account from my XXXX credit report after I disputed it. On XX/XX/XXXX I made the full payment for the remaining balance of {$140.00}. On Monday, XX/XX/XXXX First Progress added a charge off account to my XXXX credit report and marked it paid closed collection/charge off. This is absolutely illegal for them to do and very unethical. Im requesting this account be removed in total from all 3 of my credit reports! Not only has this affected my score but added a negative reporting to my credit. This account was NEVER in collections and wasnt sold to a third party agency.

Complaint Against I.C. Systems for Unrecognized Collection Notice on My Credit Report I hope this message finds you well. I am writing with deep concern and distress about a recent collection notice placed on my credit report by I.C. Systems. Prior to this, I have maintained a clean credit history without any collection notices. This unexpected entry not only impedes my potential future purchases but also adds an undue layer of stress in these already trying economic times. 

On XX/XX/2023, I contacted I.C. Systems at the number ( XXXX ) provided on my credit report. At precisely XXXX XXXX, I spoke with a representative named XXXX to inquire about the aforementioned collection notice. She informed me that the collection was related to a XXXX account and further explained that their records show the account being handed to them on XX/XX/2023. XXXX also mentioned that a letter was dispatched to me on XX/XX/2023, to inform me about the situation. This seemed incongruous, as the collection was already on my credit report by XX/XX/2023. 

I probed deeper, inquiring if any other communication attempts had been made. XXXX confirmed no attempts besides the letter. When specifically asked about phone contact, she indicated that there had been no phone outreach according to her records. I explained to XXXX that I do not recognize this alleged debt and had not received any notifications about it. I then requested the removal of this collection from my credit report, at which point XXXX transferred me to her supervisor, XXXX ( # XXXX ). 

I reiterated my concerns to Supervisor XXXX and inquired about their communication methods regarding the collection. Although XXXX confirmed the dispatch date of the letter as XX/XX/2023, she contradicted XXXX 's information by stating that phone attempts were made on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX of 2023. XXXX further mentioned that they are prohibited by law from leaving voice messages, and she was unable to provide the numbers from which they had allegedly called. 

Upon questioning the legitimacy of the debt, XXXX revealed that XXXX. XXXX does not own the debt ; instead, it remains with XXXX. I found it perplexing that a company, which does not own the debt, could place a collection notice on my credit report. XXXX clarified that they were operating on behalf of XXXX. Despite my repeated requests to have the item removed due to its dubious nature, XXXX declined. 

Given the above circumstances and the inconsistency in I.C. Systems ' communication, I believe it is necessary to bring this matter to your esteemed attention. I genuinely hope that the CFPB can provide guidance and resolution in this matter. 

Thank you for your time and consideration

I went online to XXXX to submit an early bird check-in, and was not aware this was a non-refundable charge. I selected this early bird check-in a total of 9 times, and was charged {$20.00} XXXX - {$25.00} for each, on the following dates : XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I contacted SouthWest to request a refund once I saw these charges, and was advised it was nonrefundable. 

I am requesting the charges for my early bird cancellations be reimbursed in the amount of {$250.00} to my account, as I feel the nonrefundable disclosure is deceptive and hidden. I have never been charged for changing my flights, or any other changes or cancellation and feel this is a unfair practice. 

If these charges are nonrefundable the disclosure should be visible on the the first page and in bold print, so there is no confusion.

They sent us a bill of approx.. XXXX dollars for taxes on the structure end of XXXX. I consulted with XXXX XXXX and said to pay them instead of the county directly. They have the money in escrow and I can not for the life of me get them to pay XXXX county. They have sent a garnishment of my pay to my company and have sent me Forclosure letters. 
They have the money ... Why won't they pay!!! I've talked to 7 different persons at the mortgage company and they had promised last week that this was taken care of. I need your help.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC (IL)

I received a letter from Transworld Systems Inc dated XX/XX/2019 concerning a balance owing with XXXX XXXX XXXX . 

This debt was previously placed with XXXX and I never received any notification that XXXX is no longer servicing the account. I have tried to reach out to XXXX and they are no longer taking calls. 

On XX/XX/2019 I spoke with XXXX XXXX with Transworld and after all disclosures I told him that I wanted to start making payments but would need some written documentation confirming that they are in fact the servicer of the loan, that the account is no longer placed with XXXX and that XXXX XXXX has given them permission to service the loan. 

My request was met with significant pushback from Mr. XXXX. He told me that the letter I received - the Dunning letter - was verification enough and that I should call XXXX XXXX. I explained to him that I am well aware of my rights and I am entitled to have this debt verified and have proof that they have authority to service this debt. XXXX started to interrupt me as I was talking and told me that he is in the position to know far more about what his job is than me. I told him that I don't appreciate his tone or that he is being argumentative with is request and asked to speak with his manager. I was told that that the manager - XXXX XXXX is unavailable. 

My complaint is two fold, the abusive and argumentative nature of Mr. XXXX is unacceptable. I have a debt, but I am still human and should be treated as such. Second, receiving push back for requesting proof that Transworld has authority to service the debt from XXXX XXXX is in direct violation of the FDCPA.

They recently charged a fee and my account is late now for a fee THEY charged on a card I cant use and that I thought was closed the LAST TIME i had the pay the fee. 

I contacted my attorney and he said they are in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the FCRA. 
I called them yet again about my account and they claim they will not fix it. 
-- HOW CAN IT BE LEGAL FOR THEM TO FORCE ME TO PAY THEIR FEE ON A CARD I HAVE REQUESTED TO CLOSE AND THEY WONT LET ME USE??? 
THIS IS AGAINST THE LAW AND I DEMAND THEY REMOVE ALL THE FEES FROM MY ACCOUNT AND THE LATES FROM MY CREDIT AND CLOSE THIS ACCOUNT!!!!!! 

I need this fixed as this is affecting my financing specifically and that is another violation which I am prepared to take legal action.The late on my credit needs to be removed today.

Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC (NM)

-> I have sent 3 correspondence letters via the US postal mail to dispute the validity of the debit within the initial 30 day period ( the third letter was sent via certified mail to ensure delivery/signature confirmation ).

-> I have also sent at least 2 inquiries/correspondence via their website which has a page dedicated to sending them messages.

-> From all of the above, they have failed to contact me back in regards to disputing the debt and they seem to be running the clock so that the 30 day time-frame will elapse. I am trying all methods of clearing/disputing the debt with them. But they have failed in every single attempt to even acknowledge my dispute of the debt they want to collect.

-> I have also contacted the original creditor ( XXXX XXXX : Patient Financial Svcs ), and they will be reclaiming the debt as it has been within 30 days ( transferred it over to TSI on XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX ). So TSI will no longer have any claim on the the debt and can not contact me to receive payments after 30 days. The debt will revert back to the original creditor and thus TSI needs to respond to my multiple types of correspondence and investigate/close the matter ( as the debt is no longer their 's to collect ).
