Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
Jefferson Capital Systems LLC currently owns the debt that I owe on a XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX While attempting to settle this debt I'm told that they have another company by the name of XXXX XXXX Handling the account for them. So, I called XXXX XXXX, and the amount owed on the account was {$1700.00}. We came to an agreement on XX/XX/year> that with a payment of {$790.00} the account would be settled with no further action required and this would be the last I needed to worry about it. I got a conformation email from XXXX XXXX XXXX as such. However, to my surprise when I check my next credit report the account in question isn't showing as settled but as only having paid the {$790.00} as if I was to pay the rest. I called XXXX XXXX, and they stated all they do is help settle the account and then report back to Jefferson Capital Systems LLC about what had been done in regard to the debt account but that they are showing in their system that they had reported the account as settled and are sorry they couldn't be of more help. So as an obvious next course of action I call Jefferson Capital Systems LLC to figure out what's going on only for their automated system to tell me that it's handled by XXXX XXXX and to call them and the Promptly hanging up on me. This happened 3 times before I had to change the way I was trying to get help and finally get in touch with a representative. Only for him to tell me that there is nothing they can do except file a dispute which they claim can only be done in the mail and would require them to send a form through the mail which I need to fill out and attach any supporting evidence and then mail back to them. Which seems ridiculous seeing as I can file a dispute with the credit bureau online and attach supporting information. After this the Representative hung up on me. so, I called my credit bureau, and they were actually helpful and suggested I come here to submit this complaint.

I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/, my daughter and I went into Truist bank located at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX Ga, to cash a money order in I purchased from XXXX XXXX. Upon arriving, the customer service representative XXXX had a rude demeanor. I asked her could I cash the money order. She said they would not cash it because alot of fraudulent stuff was going on. I asked her if she was insinuating that I had a fraudulent money order and that I am a customer of the bank so why could I not cash it. Eventually I asked to speak to the manager. The manager whos name is XXXX, came out and did not even ask to hear both sides of the story but only immediately sided with her coworker and said they would not cash it. I called the police and the manager said Call the police, I will call police too. My daughter and I waited for the police outside. Only one police officer showed up and when we went inside I explained to the police officer what took place. After a few minutes of back and forth between the manager and me, my daughter and I begin walking out. As we walked out, I said to the manager Im glad Trump is getting XXXX  involved in XXXX ( I meant to say ICE. ) That is when the manager said Oh youre threatening to call XXXX on me? Im closing your account. ( I never threatened to call anyone on anyone. ) A day or two later I called the manager back and apologized about the money order situation. She still was holding a grudge and mentioned yet again, something about her cultural background and my cultural background ( XXXX XXXX and I am XXXX XXXX ). She told me I could no longer use that particular branch and that I had to go elsewhere, which I did and was able to successfully do transactions. Yesterday I went to check my online banking and saw that I no longer had access. When I called Truist XXXX number, I was told that this location and branch closed my account. I called the manager at this branch today and asked why did she close my account if she told me to just use another location. She then reiterated back to the whole ICE situation and said why would you threaten me about ICE, because Im not from America? She clearly keeps stating that the closed account is due to her issue of me supposedly threatening to call ICE on her. The verbal altercation took place earlier before the police came and my account was never threatened to be closed until she said I threatened to call ICE. If I was so hostile, why did I call the police and not the bank? If I was so hostile, why did she say just use another branch location? Her personal vendetta and grudge about Ethnicity and cultural background that she keeps bringing up is why my account was closed. I went to this bank location more than once, and never had an issue with the other workers.
