Product: Debt collection — Telecommunications debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: MT

Complaint narrative:
We ordered XXXX phones with a plan through an XXXX XXXX XXXX agent in a XXXX store in XXXX, Co in XXXX of XXXX. We recieved the phones with the plan details and noticed that the plan was not what was discussed. We never opened the phones, activated or ported the numbers over to the XXXX XXXX XXXX plan. We had service with XXXX and continued our service with them. We returned the phones and followed up with a phone call to ensure they recieved them. We were told by the agent on the phone that they recieved the phones and that there was a XXXX balance. Months later we received a bill and we called right away to dispute. The agent said there was no balanced owed. We received a past due bill from a collection agency on XX/XX/XXXX. We called them and they stated that XXXX XXXX XXXX has placed this account in collections with them. We asked for a detailed statement of charges but none could be provided. We have called XXXX XXXX XXXX 4 times in the past week, speaking with both the billing department and collections. We spoke to an agent again this morning and escalated to a supervisor, XXXX. He stated that he was unable to provide us a detailed statement of the charges and sent us to the collection department. We spoke to XXXX in collections, and after looking at the account she was able to confirm that the phones were never activated and our numbers were never ported over from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. She said she would notate the account and ask billing to issue a credit. She said that billing would call us within the hour. We waited XXXX hours and had to called back. This time we spoke to XXXX in billing and asked him to look at the notes form XXXX in collections, he said there was nothing he could do that we simply needed to pay the account. When we asked to speak with his supervisor he said that the supervisor would have the same information and would give the same answer. We waited for XXXX minutes to speak with his supervisor XXXX. We asked her to look at the notes from XXXX from collections from our phone call earlier this morning and she stated that there were no notes from XXXX. We asked her to send us a detailed statement of charges and she said that she was unable to do that and that we would need to go to an XXXX XXXX XXXX corporate store to further dispute. We have wasted numerous hours on the phone with numerous XXXX XXXX XXXX  agents and should not have to take time off of work or away from our daily lives for XXXX XXXX XXXX  to provide proof that we owe this debt for a service we never recieved.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My cellphone was stolen in New York early in the morning on XX/XX/year>. I flew home to XXXX XXXX a few hours later. When I got back to my computer I saw that my accounts had been overdrawn and my credit cards had been maxed out. I was able to get my credit card charges refunded by XXXX XXXX and XXXX. However, I went in person to wells fargo to let them know that someone had fraudulently moved money around in my various Wells Fargo accounts and then consolidated it into my personal checking. They then sent an unauthorized wire transfer for {$20000.00} from my account to someone else. I've been a customer with Wells Fargo for over 15 years I've never reported an issue like this or had any problems previously. They told me that the confirmed the activity was fraudulent but they would not be crediting my account back the money. They also told me they sent me a letter on XX/XX/XXXX telling me they were closing the case and would not be refunding me. This is completely inaccurate as I never receive any letter or communication from them in this regard. They also emailed me on XX/XX/XXXX requesting more information about the case. I was able to speak with someone from wells fargo on the phone on XX/XX/XXXX. This person had more questions to ask me and I provided them with all the information they requested. So it would appear impossible to me that they were still investigation the case as I was told in a recorded conversation on XX/XX/XXXX if they had already closed the case.

Complaint narrative:
Collection Agency Name National Recovery Agn Last 4 of SSN : XXXX I am allowed under the HIPAA law ( Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ) to protect my privacy and medical records from third parties. I do not recall giving permission to ( Name Of Provider ) for them to release my medical information to a third party. I understand that the HIPAA does allow for limited information about me but any details may only be revealed with the patients authorization, therefore my request is twofold and as follows : Validation of Debt and HIPAA authorization - Please provide a breakdown of fees including any and all collection costs and medical charges- Please provide a copy of my signature with the provider of service to release my medical information to you - Immediately cease any credit bureau reporting until debt has been validated by me Please send this information to my address listed above and accept this letter, sent certified mail, as my formal debt validation request. 

Please note that withholding the information you received from any medical provider in an attempt to be HIPAA compliant will be a violation of the FDCPA because you will be deceiving me after my written request. I am requesting full documentation of what you received from the provider of service in connection with this alleged debt. 

Furthermore, any reporting of this debt to the credit bureaus prior to allowing me to validate it may be a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which can allow me to seek damages from a collection agent. 

I await your reply with the above requested proof. Upon receiving it, I will correspond back with you by mail.
