Consumer complaint received 03/17/2017 about Debt collection (I do not know) with USCB, INC. (CA).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: This Letter shall serve as formal notice of my Intent to file a lawsuit against your company, due to your blatant and objectionable disregard of the law. 

In correspondence dated XX/XX/2016 you received a demand for validation and cease communication letter from me delivered to you via certified mail. As of today you have failed to provide me with the proof I have lawfully requested. 

The FDCPA states you must cease collection activity until you have produced validation of the alleged debt if so requested. As per the FTC, this includes reporting to the credit bureaus, which you obviously have done illegally. It is quite evident that no such proof of this alleged debt exists or you would have provided it by now. Also, when an alleged debt is disputed, a notation must be entered on the debtor 's credit report showing the item as in dispute. Again, this was not done. 

I 'm sure you are aware of the consequences in violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act as well as the multiple violations your company is now responsible for. If not, let me point them out for you. 

FCRA 1. 623. Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies [ 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ] ( a ) ( 3 ) - Duty to provide notice of dispute. 
2. 611. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information. 

FDCPA 1. 805. Communication in connection with debt collection [ 15USC1692c ] ( c ) Ceasing Communication 2. 809. Validation of debts [ 15 USC 1692g ] As per the FDCPA : 813. Civil liability [ 15 USC 1692k ] ( a ) Except as otherwise provided by this section, any debt collector who fails to comply with any provision of this title with respect to any person is liable to such person in an amount equal to the sum of -- ( 1 ) any actual damage sustained by such person as a result of such failure ; ( 2 ) ( A ) in the case of any action by an individual, such additional damages as the court may allow, but not exceeding {$1000.00} If you wish to resolve this matter, this will be your last opportunity to do so. The account must be deleted from my credit files with the XXXX major credit reporting bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ) and you forward a letter stating the item will be removed and will not reappear on my credit reports again by you or another collection agency.

Transunion has not provided me any proof or resolution to my concern.

Issue: Billing statement

Complaint: I had my card shut off and contacted the company. I was told my payments would only be {$55.00} a month and had been paying roughly $ 75 monthly just to help pay a little extra. I started getting letters saying my payment was falling behind and that my minimum payment was {$140.00} which was not the agreement. I then tried several times to contact Capital One and when I spoke to customer service, they were very disrespecful and accused me of lying to them and giving false information. I was told the account number I was providing is not in the system yet I keep getting letters saying I 'm behind on my payments with that account number. I contacted the complaint department that is listed with the company on this site just to receive XXXX messages to call them. I since have called numerous times and never can reach anyone. I have even left a message asking to call me back with no such luck. And now its going against my credit. I have filed with the XXXX and they did n't really help and said with no documentation they could n't do anything even though everything was on a recorded line. 

I have since been in constant contact with Capital one attempting to do everything on my part to get the issue resolved. I have the names, dates and times of everyone I have spoken with. XXXX XXXX ( spelling? ) Is who I have XXXX been in the most contact with. After a month and a half of calls back and forth and being told to make payments he later told me that no matter what I pay my balance would increase and there is nothing they will do to help. 

Also on the photo I uploaded. It only shows online payments made and will not show payments mailed in or made over the phone.
