Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Convergent Resources, Inc. (NJ)

On Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a ( paper ) letter in the mail from " XXXX XXXX XXXX. '', indicating to me that they are a collections company working on behalf of " Creditor : XXXX, XXXX '' to collect an " Amount Owed : {$2200.00} ''. The letter indicated that they have or will cancel my XXXX account unless I contact them and pay off the full amount or make payment arrangements. 

Immediately, I checked my XXXX activity and balance and found no record of this supposed debt, and the account numbers listed on this paper do not match the account ID information I have for my XXXX account. 

At about XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, I called and spoke to a XXXX customer service representative who informed me this was not a legitimate letter or notice from XXXX and that my XXXX account is proper and in good standing. He instructed me to take photos of the image and e-mail them, along with an explanation, to XXXX, who I understand to be the fraud review department. 

I am deeply concerned about the content of this letter and its ' legitimacy. I have a very active XXXX account that I use for my business and personal needs ; I can not afford for this matter to end up on my credit reports and reduce my overall credit score. I am eager to pursue whatever means are necessary to resolve this matter.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Phoenix Financial Services LLC (CA)

On XX/XX/2023 I received a notice on my phone that a medical debt was placed on my credit report. The debt company that placed the unfair mark on my credit report is Phoenix financial services at XXXX. The amount of the debt that was placed on my credit report is {$1600.00}, I received no notice that the company was attempting to collect this debt nor did I receive any mail of an attempt to collect this debt. This debt was placed on my credit report in violation of US credit reporting fair practices. As a consumer I deserve better treatment and courtesy before derogatory information is reported to the three credit bureaus. 

I called Phoenix financial services today and informed them that I never received any notice or messages about any attempt to collect a debt. The guys said yes I'm aware of the ambulance company not notifying people. 

Please advise. Thank you.

Since approximately 2011 I have had issues with the credit bureau 's.  I attended XXXX XXXX XXXX with loans and grants. I only completed 1/4 of a semester. I requested a statement from the bureau on how this is correct with itemization as with loans and grants not used there is a credit that needs to be applied back. XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. provided the bureau with signed loan documents however that means nothing when the whole amount was not used. The department failed to provide adequate documents to justify the amount borrowed was used in full in reference to classes taken. That alone is enough to presume that this is fraud by the XXXX XXXX   XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX to collect money from loans and grants that was not used in full. This impacted my score greatly, caused money problems in my life, and an issue with my tax money that was owed to me. It was not proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that I owed this.

I haven't receive any notice from XXXX XXXX about this debt. XXXX XXXX isn't available in PA nor XXXX. I haven't received any notices to collect or validate this debt.

If XXXX XXXX don't remove this debt, I am entitled under the FDCPA, EFTA, FCRA, or any state law, to collect money damages. For example, under the FDCPA, you may receive up to {$1000.00} in damages plus actual damages.

Company: Home Point Financial Corporation (CA)

On XX/XX/2018 my attorney submitted documents to Homepoint Financial to be reviewed for mortgage assistance regarding the foreclosure on my home. On XX/XX/2018 they called to follow up with the documents and informed by a representative on behalf of Homepoint that the file was in active review. Again on XX/XX/2018 they were advised the file is still in review and once again on XX/XX/2018 they were told the file is still in active review however the sale date for XX/XX/2018 was still active. When they called Homepoint Financial today, they were informed by the representative that the review was closed back on XX/XX/2018 due to 2 items pending. They stated they called me and and sent me a letter which is FALSE. I never once received a phone call from Homepoint or any letters regarding missing documents to this day. I have never received any communication from Homepoint regarding a point of contact assigned to my file and nor has anyone even spoken to one until today. The representative even said the wrong phone number for my attorneys office who they should be calling but did not because of errors their employees made. So now due to the lack of professionalism and lack of attention to detail, my home is being foreclosed on and I am forced to find another option. Homepoint Financial had 3 opportunities to inform my attorney or myself that documents were needed and failed each time and now 24 hours before my sale date they acknowledge their mistakes with no remorse or alternatives to fixing the problem on their end. All of my rights have been violated and not to mention a Notice of Trustee sale was placed WHILE I was in active review according to the 3 representatives who stated it was in review which is a form of dual tracking.
