Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Rocky Mountain Recovery Group
State: WY

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX stating I owed on an original creditor account number that was never mine. I disputed the debt in 2 separate letters, one sent by uncertified mail on XX/XX/XXXX. The other sent certified mail XX/XX/XXXX. I got a validation letter with a completely different account number in which I had already paid the original creditor and had a {$0.00} balance on. The collection company then said I owed interest of {$340.00}. Which they did not provide any proof or contracts that said anything about any interest that was due. Though they stated that I owed it to their " client '' even though I have a {$0.00} balance on the account with their client. Not only did they provide me with an incorrect original creditor account number to begin with and amount owed, they contacted me by phone before they even sent what they thought was verification of the debt owed. They decided to switch to the account number after I had provided them with the documentation I did not owe on the account. They have the incorrect date in which the account was paid. They just made up a number in interest and said I still owed their client. I don't owe them or their client any amount. They also contacted me by phone on XX/XX/XXXX where they left a voicemail. Any collection agency must state that the purposes for communication is to collect a debt. They failed to do so.

Company: Revenue Enterprises, LLC
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I asked Revenue Enterprises for a debt verification since I have been receiving different debt collection accounts with different amounts. Weeks later a debt collector from Revenue Enterprises called me asking for my spouse, my son, and my personal information. I refused to provide him the information, he threatened me to report me to the credit report agencies and that he was going to damage my credit. 

On XX/XX/2018, they answered my request for debt verification on one of the accounts. I'm still waiting for the other two accounts. I received a statement that only shows the services provided and the amount already paid, but they fail to send me a detailed receipt and they refused to tell me why I owe them this money. It looks like they want me to hand them my money for no reason.

Complaint narrative:
Complaint number XXXX has not been satisfied. 
Mr. Cooper addressed the CITY TAXES, not the XXXX XXXX Taxes. They have not corre4cted the overpayment from this complaint. I received notice from you that they responded. The response did not correct the error. I DO NOT consider the complaint to be closed, when they have not corrected the problem and my escrow account is over {$3000.00} in a negative balance because of their negligence. What is the point of asking for your assistance as an oversight agency if you do not address the problem?

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On multiple occasions I have contacted Experian in regards to their reporting of XXXX XXXX XXXX ; a collection agency reporting a medical debt from a state that is not my own. 

I reached out to the collection agency and they sent me documents that not only provided a signature that was not my own, but had documents that would clearly be a violation of HIPAA. This debt belongs to XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX has not contacted me about this debt. 

I spoke with an Experian representative on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an alert on my Experian account. XXXX XXXX XXXX came back verified. This was absolutely impossible. 

Experian is the only credit bureau I have had an issue with. This fraudulent collection account is only on this report and it is the only collection account I have on all 3 of my credit reports.

If Experian actually verified that this account was mine they would know that XXXX is 1 ) not legally allowed to collect in the state of Illinois 2 ) attached documents that have a signature that is not mine 3 ) the originating debtor is showing an address in Georgia.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I applied for autopay as soon as was possible for my XXXX, which wasn't until after the first bill was available ( there were no autopay options before then ). That was three weeks ago and I just received a late payment fine for not paying my bill. Basically, even though I'd set up auto pay, and expected that to pay my bill, XXXX tried to charge me {$25.00}. I was told on the phone it take 2 months for autopay to go through, which seems ridiculous. My credit card also won't work for several days until the payment I just made goes through. 

This seems like they're trying to scam people.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
My monthly payment for my XXXX Store card was due yesterday on Sunday, XX/XX/2018, and so I went to my local XXXX 's store and made a payment in-store using my debit ( ATM ) card. These payments are supposed to process quickly, and the receipt provided includes the following statement : " Payments made today will be credited as of today. '' And indeed, my bank account is showing that the {$50.00} payment was withdrawn and posted from my bank account the same day - XX/XX/18. However, today, more than 24 hours after the payment, my online XXXX 's account does not show any payment but instead, under " recent activity '' its shows a late fee that was charged on XX/XX/18, indicating non-payment. There is no record of my payment made yesterday. Where did my money go? What this suggests is that XXXX had already pre-coded my account for a late fee before the due date, and so there was no way to avoid a late fee even when I paid on time. This is not right. I contacted XXXX Card customer service by phone and the agent told me that she " couldn't answer questions '' about this issue. I asked to speak with her supervisor, and 40 minutes later, a supervisor came online who told me that the message printed on the receipt was not in fact true - that payments day 1-2 days to post and during this time, they can charge late fees.This doesn't line with up with their payment policies however.
