Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: AK

Complaint:
I have tried for several years to challenge a letter that Midland Credit XXXX has been sending for many years, claiming they I owe money to " XXXX XXXX  XXXX ''. 
I have never had an account with any such company, and have made repeated attempts ( see attached ) asking them to verify the debt and demonstrate what services I signed up for that generated this action. 

I have even challenged this thru XXXX, but the answer I always received is " verified ''. 
Midland Credit refuses to tell me what the bill is for, and what services generated this debt? 

I have also circled the bottom of the recent Midland Credit form, telling me that the bill is past the statute to limitations.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint:
Today, XX/XX/2023 I called to make a credit card payment. They will not send me a statement as they say my card is restricted. I wasn't sure when the bill was due, but last month it was due on XX/XX/XXXX so I figured I better call. The due date this time was XX/XX/XXXX. The problem is I applied for this card on line and was immediately accepted. I was sent the card in XXXX, I believe. It was an interest free card for a year so I used it quite a bit. Then, there was a charge I didn't make and Capital One rejected it, which was great. Normally, in my experience, when this happens the credit card company shuts down that account and simply sends you a new card. Capital One put my card in a " restrictive '' mode and wanted me to send a slew of documents to prove my identity I guess. I drew the line at wanting my social security card and my bank statement. I told them that that's ridiculous and I'm not sending that to them. That's fine if that's somehow their policy. I don't need this particular card. All I want to do is set up an auto payment and get a statement in the mail because the on-line option will not allow me in. I was told that I couldn't do either of these things because my card is " restricted ''. It should be illegal that I can't get a statement. I have no idea if they're putting other charges on or what. I was also suppose to get a {$200.00} credit if I spent {$500.00} within a period of time which I did but have no idea if they'll honor that since I can't see a statement. Also, would like to know the due date. It just seems crazy that I have so much trouble just trying to pay them off. I hope you can help me or refer me to someone who can. Thank you so much.

Complaint:
PINNACLE CREDIT SERVICES ( collecting for XXXX ) has been ignoring and refusing my requests for validation on this debt for years.

Company: J. Ritter Law P.C.
State: FL

Complaint:
I have been receiving calls and letters from a J Ritter law firm saying I owe a {$370.00} debt to XXXX XXXX University XXXXXXXX XXXX from 2017. I know nothing of this alleged debt and have received no notice of this from the school or bookstore or anyone else until now. I called the school and they informed me I have no pending balance and I would not have gotten my diploma or been allowed to graduate with an outstanding balance. The law firm was very confusing telling me that nobody was ever required to notify me of this and that they dont even know if the debt is valid but would get back to me. Im not sure if this is some sort of scam or scheme to get money.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint:
I am filing this complaint because Citibank failed to deposit a {$700.00} Cash Bonus into my account which I qualified for within 90 days from the end of the month in which I completed all the promotional offer requirements : 1/ New Business checking account ( streamlined ) was opened on XX/XX/XXXX after completing the required documents with XXXX, Citi Vice President/Business Account Manager at a local Citibank branch.

2/ Met the {$25000.00} qualifying balance level during the initial 30 calendar day funding period on XX/XX/XXXX with " XXXX '' funds deposits. 
3/ Consecutively maintained that balance until XX/XX/XXXX, exceeding the 60-day maintenance period requirement ending on XX/XX/XXXX. 
I have contacted Citi small business support to inquire about the Bonus, issue was escalated under Claim XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, and was asked to wait 5 business days to get a response. Did not hear back from support so I called again on XX/XX/XXXX and was informed by A ... ... .that a " code '' was needed. I told the Rep that a code wasn't required as it was not stipulated in the offer XXXX & XXXX. Rep instructed me to contact my local Branch Manager T ... P ... which I did, but that e-mail remains unanswered. 
I have once again reviewed all the documents including the business account application and there is absolutely nothing supporting the Citibank representative 's claim that a promo code was required to get the Bonus such as : " Bonus code is XYZ '', " Activate bonus code XYZ '', " Must provide bonus offer code XYZ to a banker '',... 
Not sure if I'm dealing with incompetence or if Citibank engages in deceptive practices but the issue hasn't been resolved and thought it was time for me to file a formal complaint with CFPB. 
I have included the promotional offer XXXX & XXXX that was attached ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) in one of the e-mails sent to me by the Business Account Manager on XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint:
Hello and thank you for your assistance in advance with this sensitive request. 

I have been a victim of fraud and placed a fraud alert on my credit reports with all three bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX. The fraud began in XXXX apparently and I have since tried to take precautions on protecting my credit from being compromised from unauthorized accounts and inquiries. I have paid over {$420.00} to credit monitoring websites and to certifying and notarizing documents to send to each credit bureau and the creditors with no luck. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted to all three credit bureaus a signed and notarized document and certified it to XXXX, XXXX and Trans Union. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received confirmation that all three credit bureaus, XXXX, XXXX  and Trans Union signed for my certified documents. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act of 15 U.S.C. 1681, Section 611, the credit bureaus have 30 days from receipt ( XX/XX/XXXX ) to  investigate and/or remove and block the fraudulent accounts/inquiries. 

It is now XX/XX/XXXX and there has been no response or update on my credit report honoring my request to remove the unauthorized and fraudulent inquiries from my credit reports. This unresolved issue is hindering me from being able to apply for a new home loan and a new car so that I can be able to provide for my family. 

I am requesting the help of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to resolve this urgent matter and be done with this once and for all please.

State: TX

Complaint:
I cancelled my auto insurance policy with XXXX as they unfairly raised my rates for an auto accident I wasn't even involved in. Additionally, there was no money paid out on any claims nor was I charged a deductible. They also raised my rate for a ticket I got around XX/XX/2019 and was a non-moving violation that should not have had any effect on my policy. I had XXXX for about 5 years and they have certainly made their money from me. Over thousands of dollars. Now they've sent me to this collection agency for {$150.00}. This is beyond belief!!! I absolutely will never pay this!

Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC
State: MA

Complaint:
Happy Halloween ; I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the America Bar Association and Professional Liability Fund for code of ethics violations.
