Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Amsher Collection Services, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the accuracy of a collection account listed on my credit report under the account # [ XXXX ]. I previously requested debt validation from the collection agency handling this account, but they failed to provide the required validation. 
According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) 809 ( a ), a collection agency must provide verification of the debt upon request. Since the collection agency has not provided this validation, the collection account should not be reported on my credit file.

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611 ( a ), I am requesting that you reinvestigate this matter. The continued reporting of this collection account without proper validation is inaccurate and violates the FDCPA. 
Please remove this collection account from my credit report and provide written confirmation of this action. If the collection agency can not validate the debt, the account must be deleted from my credit file as required by law. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.

Then once the next payment was due I could not make another DEBIT CARD payment. Thus resulting in more late fees. I contacted Capital One through the automated chat to alert them of the issues and I was informed they would only wave XXXX late fee. I explained the situation and I have included the chat detailed attached.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my consumer report. It has come to my attention that your agency is reporting information on my consumer report without my consent, thereby failing to apply maximum accuracy in accordance with your vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit information as stipulated in 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 3 ).

Furthermore, I am aware that your company policy requires you to maintain written consent from me, the consumer, authorizing you to report any account on my consumer report. Federal law under 15 U.S.C. 1681b requires that you must have either court jurisdiction or a handwritten letter from me giving you permissible purpose to report such information. Your failure to adhere to these requirements constitutes a violation of my privacy.

Additionally, as a financial institution, you are obligated to uphold maximum privacy of my nonpublic personal information pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 6801 ( a ), which states that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. 
Moreover, I demand that your agency immediately cease and desist all illegal activities and all mediums of communication related to the collection of this alleged debt. Your persistent attempts to contact me at inconvenient times have caused significant disruption and damages, affecting my business hours of operation. I am fully aware that a medium of communication also includes my consumer report, and I demand the deletion of the account reported on my consumer report. 
I demand that your agency promptly investigate this matter and remove the inaccurate information from my consumer report. Please provide me with a written response detailing the actions you have taken to rectify this situation within 30 days of receipt of this letter. 
Failure to comply with these demands will leave me no choice but to pursue all available legal remedies to protect my rights and seek compensation for the damages caused by your actions.
