Company: HW Holding, Inc (TN)

I am XXXX XXXX and I am submitting this complaint myself with no third party involved. I, XXXX XXXX, the consumer, natural person, and original creditor received a collections alert on all of my consumer reports from Hunter Warfield , Inc. on XXXX XXXX, 2022. Pursuant to 15 USC 1692 ( a ) ( 6 ), Hunter Warfield , Inc. is in fact a debt collector. Pursuant to 15 USC 1602, I know that my Social Security Card/Number is in fact a credit card under my open-end credit plan. I am also aware of the FDCPA ( Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ), and the abusive, deceptive and unfair debt collection practices that are used by many debt collectors ; including Hunter Warfield , Inc . The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was put in place by congress to protect consumers such as myself, from illegal activities used by debt collectors such as Hunter Warfield , Inc. Pursuant to 15 USC 1692, Hunter Warfield , Inc. is in violation of several Fair Debt Collection Practices Act laws by contacting me and furnishing my information with other third parties about a debt that I DO NOT owe them. Pursuant to the FDCPA, Hunter Warfield , Inc. is now civilly liable to me in the amount of {$1000.00} per violation. Before I go into the violations, I want to make it very clear that I DID NOT, DO NOT, and WILL NOT give Hunter Warfield , Inc. any of my personal information or permission to use or publish any of my information in ANY WAY! Any use or sharing of my personal information, including my SSN, by Hunter Warfield, Inc. without my written consent directly to Hunter Warfield , Inc. is unauthorized use, fraud, and aggravated identity theft. In the event that my information is used or has been shared by Hunter Warfield , Inc. with any third party including credit reporting agencies and is not immediately deleted with proof sent to my mailing address of the deletion request, I will not hesitate to seek litigation against Hunter Warfield , Inc. for all violations of the FCRA, all violations of the FDCPA, identity theft, unauthorized use, defamation of character, fraud, court cost, attorney fees, all present and future loss of credit opportunities, and monetary relief for all damages/injuries sustained due to their actions such as but not limited to the following : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 1. Hunter Warfield , Inc. is in violation of 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( 2 ) ( a ). They are misrepresenting the character and amount of an " alleged debt. '' They are claiming that I owe them {$430.00}, when in fact according to congress, I know that I DO NOT owe anything because I am the one who credited the entire transaction and it was paid upfront by my credit card already ( social security card. ) They know I do not owe because the " bill '' came in a positive balance. It is impossible to pay on a positive balance. They know that if I truly owed anything the bill would come in a negative balance. This is blatant and clear misrepresentation of the character and amount of the debt they claim I owe. 2. Hunter Warfield , Inc. is in violation of 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( 10 ). They are using false representation and deceptive means to collect or attempt to collect on a debt or obtain information concerning a consumer ( ME ). Since this transaction was a consumer credit transaction and my social security number was used, I know that the entire original transaction was paid for already and now Hunter Warfield , Inc. is contacting me WITHOUT my prior permission and using deceptive means to engrave in me that I owe a debt and I must pay it. 3. Hunter Warfield , Inc. is in violation of 15 USC 1692 ( f ) ( 1 ). A debt collector may not use unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt of any amount unless such amount is expressly authorized by the agreement creating the debt or permitted by law. I have NEVER done any business with Hunter Warfield, Inc, and they know that I have never signed any contract or agreement with them stating I will pay them any amount! This is another clear violation of the FDCPA! 4. Hunter Warfield , Inc. is in violation of 15 USC 1692 ( j ) ( a ), " It is unlawful to design, compile, and furnish any form knowing that such form would be used to create the false belief in a consumer that a person other than the creditor of such consumer is participating in the collection of or in an attempt to collect a debt such consumer allegedly owes such creditor, when in fact such person is not so participating. '' The email I received from Hunter Warfield , Inc. does in fact state that they are trying to collect a debt that I allegedly owe someone else. I am the original creditor of the entire transaction because I credited it when I gave my credit card. Hunter Warfield , Inc. is in violation of compiling and furnishing this email to make me believe they are collecting on a " debt '' when they are in fact not the original creditor. They CAN NOT provide me any contract/agreement between myself and Hunter Warfield , Inc. stating that I agree to pay them any amount. Pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, Hunter Warfield , Inc. is now civilly liable to me, XXXX XXXX, in the amount of {$4000.00} just for the FDCPA violations alone. The invoice must be paid by check to my mailing address that they have on file. In the event that they refuse to compensate me for the violations and my information that I never gave them permission to use is not deleted immediately from their system and they continue reporting to other third parties, I will hold Hunter Warfield , Inc. both criminally and civilly liable to the highest extent of federal law. I will also attach all documents that I sent directly to the company as proof that they are aware of the violations, and that I have reached out to them directly to handle the situation before I am forced to take any legal action. For documentation purposes, the documents were mailed on XXXX XXXX, 2022, and the certified mail receipt number is XXXX. Everything written in this complaint is not to be construed : my intentions are clear.
