Consumer complaint received 03/27/2015 about Debt collection (Medical) with TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC (IL).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: XXXX is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that tried to double dip with XXXX XXXX by issuing XXXX bills in the same amount. I spoke to them several times regarding Insurance and " NO PATIENT RESPONSABILITY '' and several months later I find collection attempts listed on my credit reports from TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC Collections in the amount of {$970.00} directly affecting my Credit Reports and Score. I call again and find that the accounts were recalled and deleted by the XXXX and the information removed in their systems. The recall did not reach TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC Collections and negitive information was placed on my credit report BEFORE the information was verified ( PRIOR TO RUINING MY NAME ). This is proof that this collections agentcy failed to validate a debt and is in violation of the FDCA. Validation is done before listing it on the XXXX credit reporting sites. This directly affected my interest rates and caused a denial of credit. My name has been smeared by TRANSWORLD SYS INC since they acted first and ask questions after the fact. If TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS had followed federal law the information would never have appeared on my credit reports. I want all ALL negitive information for ANY accounts removed from my credit reports since they do not validate debts before the ruin lives.

I am filing this complaint to seek permanent blockage of this account and furthermore Equifax must not report any XXXX account with opening date of XX/XX/XXXX. This is one last time I am earnestly pleading with Equifax and I sincerely hope that Equifax will honor my request to permanently block XXXX account ending in XXXX with opening date of XX/XX/XXXX. If this request is not honored by Equifax, I will have no option but to explore pursuing legal remedies, due to the XXXX  and reputation damage I am suffering at the hands of Equifax. I have attached the FTC complaint, police report and my earlier letters to Equifax as required by FCRA 605 B. I am  hopeful that Equifax would block XXXX account permanently adhering to FCRA.

Consumer complaint received 06/17/2015 about Credit card () with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (OH).
Issue: Other

Complaint: I have a GAP Visa credit card issued by Synchrony Bank. Synchrony allowed a transaction to go through that exceeded my credit limit. We were not notified and did not realize this happened until the next time we tried to use the card and it was declined. We immediately made a payment that more than covered the overcharge. However, the bank notified credit agencies that we exceeded our limit prior to receiving the payment. I called the bank to complain and asked how we can be reported for exceeding our limit when the bank authorized the payment. This makes no sense whatsoever! I was told that as a " courtesy '' the bank allows a certain amount of charges over my credit limit. I consider this a discourtesy, as I would have used a different credit card had I known that I had exceeded my limit. I asked the bank to have this courtesy service deactivated, and I was told this is not possible. I wonder how many other consumers have their credit damaged as a result of this " courtesy. '' Consumers should either have the right to have this service turned off, or the bank should be obligated to notify the consumer that their credit has been exceeded. I was told that this service is explained in my credit terms, but if it was, it was not called out prominently.

Consumer complaint received 03/23/2017 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with BB&T CORPORATION (WV).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: In XXXX XXXX, my XXXX XXXX XXXX was deemed a total loss by my insurance company ( XXXX ) after I hit a deer. The loan for my car was financed through BB & T and I also had GAP insurance ( XXXX ). XXXX insurance paid for everything except a remaining {$2800.00} on the loan. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I received a notice from BB & T stating that my vehicle loan, in it 's entirety was " Paid and Satisfied ''. The document was signed by " XXXX XXXX '' and dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I immediately called BB & T and verified that no further action would be required from me regarding my account. A BB & T representative in the customer service department named " XXXX '' assured me that no further action was required. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I received a late notice for my account, stating that I owed BB & T my monthly payment of {$330.00} for the month of XXXX and that I had a late fee. I checked my BB & T account online and it stated that I still owed {$2800.00} as well as the additional late charge fees. I contacted " XXXX '' GAP insurance company and they stated that they were still finalizing my claim. I received a notice from GAP dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, stating that a check for {$2800.00} had been mailed to BB & T. I received another statement from BB & T on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, stating that my account was still overdue and that I owed {$700.00} for the months of XXXX and XXXX. When I checked my online account, it still stated that I owed the {$2800.00}, plus additional fees. When I contacted BB & T, a representative of the total loss department informed me that they had received the check from XXXX GAP Insurance, but that the check would not be cashed until a thorough investigation had been completed regarding the " Paid and Satisfied '' statement mailed in XXXX. I have called on multiple occasions throughout the months of XXXX and XXXX and I receive the same answer. BBT representatives from the " Total Loss '' department state, " The case is being reviewed by upper management, whenever a solution for this situation is reached, we will call and advise you of the outcome ''. Whenever I ask to speak directly to management, I 'm always referred to the general customer support number for " Total Loss ''. In the meantime, I continue to receive notices that my account is overdue and that I am being charged late fees. I called again on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and received the same answer. I contacted a representative with the West Virginia State Attorney General 's Office, " Banking and Finance '' division, who recommended filing a claim with the CFPB.

Consumer complaint received 01/16/2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with First National Collection Bureau, Inc. (FL).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: I had XXXX collection on my credit report. It was from XXXX / First National Collection Bureau at http : //www.fncbinc.com/. A former roommate rang up pay-per-views on my account, I did n't agree to them and closed my account. 

Here 's the thing, the account was closed in XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX. It 's XX/XX/XXXX, it should have been off my report. 

However, according to the credit bureaus, it was opened for collection all the way into XXXX! I disputed this online, and lost somehow because they " proved '' it was sent to collections only in XX/XX/XXXX. 

Is n't that illegal to forge the date that something was stopped being paid on? Or hold on to collections and report them later? 

Not only that, the other day, I called First National, and paid it ( I should probably back charge it ). So after calling them and paying them over the phone, the charge on my card came up as XXXX! How weird is this?! Is XXXX playing a game where they own the collection agency and fudging dates? It seems so! 

Dispute numbers I entered - XXXX of them is correct, but only had 30 days after dispute back in XX/XX/XXXX to view the results. There was another dispute that I won I had in my email with the dispute number with XXXX still.
