Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
This is their last opportunity to resolve this issue before I submit a complaint with the court as I will be seeking remedy for these violations. This company LVNV FUNDING is not following the procedures of the FDCPA as they did NOT send me a notification about this debt before reporting it on my consumer report. If the believe that they have then I demand to be shown proof by providing the certified green receipt bearing my signature about 5 business days prior to the initial reporting of this alleged debt. Next, they did NOT send me any verifying and validating information about this alleged debt when I requested it. I specifically asked for the purchase agreement and they decided to send me billing statements which proves nothing. LVNV FUNDING is a collection agency that is purposely violating the procedures of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). Furthermore, without validating/verifying the debt, they have also reported this information on my consumer reports which violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act as they have knowingly furnished inaccurate information to consumer reporting agencies. Lastly, I had requested a cease of all communications from this agency to which they have stated that they would 'honor ' however, it has come to my attention that they are still communicating with me indirectly via the medium of consumer reporting. The FDCPA specifically defines what communication means which is " 15 U.S. Code 1692a -Definitions As used in this subchapter ( 2 ) The term communication means the conveying of information regarding a debt directly or indirectly to any person through any medium. '' Thus further violating the procedures of this act. This is my final attempt to resolve this issue, if this matter is not dealt with promptly, I will be seeking legal action against this agency for unfair, abusive, false and misleading debt collection practices.

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024, I began receiving calls from National credit systems. Upon answering a call at XXXX, I promptly told them to put me on their do not call list. I received three subsequent calls within 5 minutes of them harrassing me after I made the request. I answered the final call at XXXX to notify them again that I made a previous request to be on the do not call list. After stating this the person on the other end of the line began to laugh. 

These calls were made after I provided a request to the company to have all communication be in written form.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2024, I received a notification that a derogatory mark was placed on my credit report. Prior to XX/XX/XXXX, I had no knowledge of this debt. Ive never received an email, voicemail or mail communication to my current address and/or telephone number. 
During my search for the origin of this debt, I was told that this bill was from a XXXX  I had a year  ago at the XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I, then, proceeded to call my medical insurance company, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, to verify this unpaid claim with their medical claims department. The representative at XXXX relied to me that this claim was never filed with them. She stated that my insurance was valid at the time of my XXXX  and that all my insurance claims for my XXXX  were paid at 100 %. There is no history documented for this bill. I offered telephone numbers of the XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to the XXXX representative to find a solution between the medical team and my insurer. The XXXX representative called all numbers and left voicemails. Theres been no response from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am left with no resolution. I am being punished for a debt I had no knowledge of and my credit report has been negatively impacted. I pride myself highly on maintaining exceptional credit, and Ive done so for over 30 years. This derogatory mark has since dropped my credit score over XXXX points.

Complaint narrative:
Late XXXX  I had a dental bill that my dentist was resubmitting to my insurance because they said it was unnecessary work ( he replaced a XXXX XXXX ). I never saw a bill from the dentist ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) so thought it was taken care of. I retired and moved in XX/XX/XXXX. I received a bill via US Mail from American Profit Recovery on XX/XX/XXXX stating principal was {$750.00} and interest {$540.00}. They said they tried to call me multiple times but I don't believe I ever saw any calls from them which may be because I don't answer calls from unknown callers. My address has been public information for years. They could of sent me mail in XXXX  instead of accumulating {$540.00} in interest! I tried to dispute this with the representative on the phone but was instead threatened that it would go on my credit report. So I went ahead and paid.

Complaint narrative:
Around the Date of XX/XX/2023. I entered the XXXX XXXX Truist located in XXXX georgia and was greeted by a banker who advised i needed to set an appointment. I asked her about a personal line of credit and she told me that all I needed was to apply and Tax returns were not needed. I specifically asked because I did not have the documents at the time as we had just paid to catch up what was due. We decided it was much easier to go to the Truist at the XXXX Georgia location. We were assisted by a XXXX who was nice but advised that we would in fact need income verification we were hesitant at first because our information has been all over the place.in less than XXXX days we received a letter saying by a certain date the application wpuldnt be valid and so I spent the weekend gathering finnacials and returned the documents back. The documents were returned and we were advised. Our original application wasnt valid and we had to Re-apply we allowed XXXX to Resubmit and we never heard back. We have a valid Georgia ID with our address listed on the item. We have upwards of {$85000.00} in Home Equity. Im not sure why they asked for investable assets but needless to say we received a hard inquiry. We never heard a response as to why we were not approved and decided to go with a different institution ( XXXX XXXX ) for a business line of credit. I currently need to replace my vehicle for our business and I now have a Hard inquiry on my credit profile that negatively will effect the purchase of a new vehicle for the next XXXX  years.
