Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Commercial Trade, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This is in regard to a medical bills. 

Commercial Trade indicates that since I can not pay in full that I will accrue interest daily. I explained that I can set up a payment plan but they will not take less than {$150.00} biweekly. I explained that I can start with {$50.00} biweekly and pay more when able to do so. I was declined this option. 

The woman I spoke to said that she will also be taking my husband to collections since we are married and that there is no one I can talk to to reduce a biweekly payment and that interest will continue to add up and that she will continue to report me to collections. 

When I call this office I only get transferred to the same woman. XXXX XXXX ph no XXXX. The website has no option to set up a payment plan as well. 

From my research in the state of California debt collectors can not legally add daily interest on medical bills.

Complaint narrative:
My Capital One XXXX card stopped allowing me to transfer points to other vendors. It seemed at first it was just a XXXX  with my account, but after a month of it not being resolved, I went online to search and to my surprise this block has affected accounts since 2022. This comes up every few months and is an ongoing issue to keep customers from transferring points out and costing the company money. I've been a customer for a long long time and have about a XXXX points that I can not access. I think there could be something here for a court case because of how many have been effected and for how long the problem has existed. There agreement may call for mediation, but that is still better than nothing. I missed out on buying flights last month and now again and they have no answers and no timeline. Because it has been going on for so long, I believe this is on purpose and not a " known issue ''.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Experian for failing to conduct a proper investigation into my disputes and instead accusing me of using an unauthorized third party to submit my requests. On XXXX separate occasions, I mailed dispute letters to Experian, disputing inaccurate personal information and accounts on my credit report. I made sure to include copies of my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and a recent bill with my current address to verify my identity. 
The first letter was mailed on XX/XX/year> ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), and I received a response dated XX/XX/year> via email. 
The second letter was mailed on XX/XX/year>, and I received a response via email dated XX/XX/year>. 
In both responses, Experian stated : " We received a recent request regarding your credit information that does not appear to have been sent directly by you or to be authorized by you. As a precautionary measure, we have not taken any action on your alleged request. '' According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Experian is required to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of any disputed information in a consumer 's file. It appears that Experian has violated my consumer rights by failing to investigate my disputes and falsely accusing me of using an unauthorized third party. 
I am including copies of my dispute letters, along with Experians responses, as proof of my complaint. I am now demanding that Experian immediately and permanently remove the disputed items from my credit report.

Company: Klima, Peters & Daly, P.A.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter from a law firm stating they are representing a debt collector in regards to a loan under my name with a court date to appear or file for judgement would be placed on my name. The letter was sent to us in XXXX and the first court date was in XX/XX/XXXX. It is showing of a loan amount of {$7000.00} that was placed back in XX/XX/XXXX. 

I went to the court hearing and claimed it was not mine. They changed it to a new date in order to gather information. When I tried to call the law company they were extremely rude and borderline pushy and harassing me over the phone when I was asking for information. I then proceeded to try and call the company they were representing and they refused to give me information unless I provided them with my debit card information and they were going to charge a fee to even look into the claimed account. I did not feel comfortable giving my debit card information to simply try and find out the source of this loan. 

The law firm representing them is Klima, Peter, and Daly. 
The Company in question is XXXX XXXX XXXX, which came from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  which I have never even heard of or had a loan with them either.
