In XXXX of 2016 I was involve in a motor vehicle accident. Was transported by ambulance to the hospital. This bill is a result of that ambulance ride, from that medical transport company.

Leaving me with almost $ XXXX in medical debt. The attorney was suspended by the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX due to actions of misappropriation of client funds. The investigator handling my matter indicated to me that this amongst all of my medical liens are part of his {$5.00} XXXX in restitution. I provided the collection agency the supporting documentation that I am including with my complaint.

I owned two Paypal Credit? Bill Me Later accounts with the original creditor. These accounts were established around XXXX and XXXX. XXXX sold these accounts to XXXX XXXX XXXX I believe in XXXX. The first account had a credit of {$1000.00} where the second was under {$3000.00}. After paying these accounts for years, $ XXXX $ 300 monthly on each, I noticed that the balance was never decreasing. I contacted the creditor on numerous occasions requesting the terms of the credit, balance and payment history but would never receive the information. I contacted the creditor by phone frequently inquiring about the no-interest promotional offer and why the account was accruing interest and fees when I had a deferred interest promotion but could never get answers. I stopped paying the creditor, because at this point I had paid well over the original balance and the creditor was engaging in predatory practices. 

In XXXX I received a letter stating that the accounts were sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have since informed XXXX XXXX XXXX that my accounts were paid to the original creditor ( Pay Pal/ Bill Me Later ) and that they have failed to provide me with the credit terms and payment history needed and what they were trying to collect on was inaccurate. XXXX XXXX XXXX has since reported me to the credit bureaus and have also filed a claim in court to collect on this invalid debt.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AL)

On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a letter to all 3 bureaus regarding inaccurate items on my credit report. Now it's XXXX and I've yet to receive a response nor those items removed. I dont really know how to file disputes but after all of this time it seems like I'm being taken advantage of and basically ignored. Section 511 ( a ) plainly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my report. It has been well past that time frame and I demand these items be removed immedately or I will be forced to file for litigation. This is my second time dealing with a credit bureau. The first was when the Equifax data breach occured and I was afraid my information may have fell into the wrong hands

The person on the phone ask me was my user name XXXX and I said no. She said we need your user name. I told her that XXXX told me not to give this out. I called XXXX and they told me it is a scam.

have sent multiple requests for investigations into items on my credit reports that are reporting incorrectly. The bureau has not only ignored my requests, but they have refused to send me documentation on how they have verified information on my reports. 

I have sent letters on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. In the final letter on XX/XX/XXXX I explained that if they continued to ignore my requests I would be forced to file a complaint and have my attorney file a suit against them for infringing on my FCRA rights. 

The following items need to be removed immediately. I have allowed more than the time that is legally allowed to complete an investigation. I have also requested information from the furnisher on several occasions and my requests have been ignored. This is unacceptable. If these Items aren't removed immediately I will file a suit against the bureau.

Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC (MD)

I visited the emergency room in XX/XX/2019. After that visit for months I received multiple bills for multiple services related to that visit and it was hard to keep track plus I was still mentally reeling from my medical issue. Unfortunately, I discovered that one of the bills went into collection : Transworld Systems Inc. I thought it was paid but received no documentation. I called the collection company ( Transworld Systems Inc ) who promised that if I just paid it there would be no adverse effect. However, I discovered months after the debt was satisfied that they still placed a negative account on my credit report. This is uncalled for after I was assured that my payment would satisfy any issues. When I called to ask that they remove it, they just said they would state that it is paid, which is still unacceptable. Additionally they offered me credit repair services to build my credit back up. This is totally a scam. I know that collection agencies do not have to report anything to credit bureaus, but they totally did as probably some lame attempt to drum up money for credit repair. I have only had one collection in my entire life and it happened at the worst possible time as I am trying to obtain a new mortgage loan.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (TN)

I filed a complaint previous about my mortgage payments not being processed or posted properly. Previous # XXXX, date XXXX. 
Since filing that complaint, Freedom Mortgage corrected my most recent payment by removing it from a principle payment to a monthly payment. However, they did not address the problem of missing {$490.00} that was posted in suspense, by their portal, it came back out of suspense but was never applied anywhere that I can see. My monthly statements show that only {$490.00} ( one payment of 2 I had made ) has been paid year to date, all other information on the statements are zeroes ( escrow, principle applied, interest etc.. ). I have contacted them numerous times and get spun in a circle every time. Have spoke to supervisors to no avail. Now, my credit report shows that I have not made a mortgage payment since XX/XX/2020. Freedom Mortgage says they do not report anything to the credit bureau for 60 days. I am ahead on my mortgage and have never been behind, so if it is on my report it must have come from Freedom Mortgage. 
Thanks for your help, my biggest concern is where is my {$490.00}, on my credit report it states last payment received by Freedom Mortgage was XXXX and where are my correct monthly accounts stated? As of now what I have now are receipts that say I paid XXXX and a company saying trust us it is ok on our end so don't worry. This is unacceptable. This notification on my credit report has now prevented me from being able to refinance my house through a conventional lender or use the FHA streamline program. Wish I knew how to fix this.

I recently reviewed my credit report and found unauthorized inquiries. 

I have already contacted the creditors below and they have not provided me with any proof that I initiated such inquiries, nor provided me with written authorization or any permissible purpose. Since they do not have my authorization, w

ritten nor verbal, I ask that you DELETE these unauthorized inquiries from my credit report immediately as there is no evidence of any authorization, nor any permissible purpose. As you know, according to Section 604 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports 15 U.S. Code 1681b, Subsection ( a ), the below creditors have not demonstrated any allowable permissible purpose - and any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under those circumstances and no other.

I have requested they provide proof that these items belong to me and no such proof was provided they are in multiple violations of the fair credit.
