Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
This collection account showed up on my credit report with a date of XX/XX/year>. I did not open an account with them on that date. I have filed disputes several times for ownership. I have requested verification of the debt via XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. The company has never provided proof I owe the debt or any proof that they have the legal right to collect. They use different dates every time they put the debt back on my credit report. They have never provided a bill of sale for the debt or any contract with my written signature where I agreed to pay any amount to their company. They are using illegal tactics to collect on a debt without showing valid proof or any evidence whatsoever of being able to legally collect on the debt.

Company: MOHELA
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
As instructed, I applied to SAVE and consolidated my loans as instructed for my XXXX, of which I have XXXX payments. I had done this back in XXXX of 2024 as well as submitted employment verification. I have heard nothing in terms of the status of my consolidation, payment count. They clearly consolidated my loans... but then put me on a regular payment plan without permission, I was previously on XXXX before consolidation. This means when they did that, I no longer was qualifying payments for XXXX. Since then ( XXXX ), I have not been able to get any type of update or status. I even requested buy back as I feel I've already hit 120 months if they were to update my payment counts. Mohela is my servicer, so I've bounced between the XXXX  and Mohela this entire time, both of them pointing the finger at each other.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT XXXX XXXX XXXX  BALANCE {$1200.00} This company must remove all collections against my credit reports immediately. My dispute is based upon the Federal Trade Commission guidelines pertaining to either debt collections as a third-party, or debt buyers in general. The rules are as follows : 1. A debt collector/buyer must be bonded and licensed by the XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
2. The debt must be legally collectible within the states jurisdiction where the creditor resides.

3. Creditor must be given copies of debt collector/buyer license, bonding number with insurance carrier name and address, a copy of any assignment to collect on original creditors behalf, and/or copies on ant ownership transfer with true copy certification.

4. A debt purchase must have an assignment number and be registered with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
5. Any debt not within these guidelines must be deleted from a consumers credit report with prejudice.

6. This company has posted one or more out dated collection against my credit report. It looks like the account was over XXXX XXXX XXXX, and the information was acquired through a debt pooling service. The collections must be deleted permanently!!! 
7. Debt Buyers obtain assignments of uncollected debts in bulk, without individual purchase agreements, which is a violation of requirements with the NMLS, and in most cases can not be valued as true ownership under CPLR.

8. Accordingly, this debt buyer must prove these requirements or delete any collection on all pertinent credit reports ; i.e. XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX respectively.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I made a purchase in XXXX XXXX online at Best Buy. I received a statement that said I had made {$3000.00} in purchases. I disputed the purchases and they were removed. I was sent a new card, that I didn't activate. I trusted that the matter was resolved. 

I checked my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX and saw that there were over {$10.00}, XXXX in charges at Best Buy. I called the company to find out what was going on. I was told that I was on the credit report because I had not paid for the credit card purchases. Payments were several months overdue. I was told by Best Buy that delinquent payments were over {$300.00} and the credit limit was {$3000.00}. 

I asked the Best Buy agent why would purchases be allowed to continue if the payments were several months late and purchases were above {$3000.00} credit limit. I was not given a response other than my request was denied. 

At this point the card had never been activated, late payments and purchases continued to be allowed above the {$3000.00} credit limit for a balance over {$10000.00}. I have not made purchases since XX/XX/XXXX and the other fraudulent charges were removed.
