Complaint narrative:
UNIFUND CCR LLC. 
I was told by UNIFUND paying agency XXXX XXXX XXXX that once I settled the debt, it would be reported as settled in full. However, a few days after paying the settlement, Unifund CCR reported a balance of XXXX to the credit bureau agency. When I contacted UNIFUND, they explained that it was their standard practice to hold XXXX and report to the credit agencies the hold payment as debt until it's cleared from the bank. I mentioned that I had not been informed about holding money during previous calls. When I asked XXXX XXXX from UNIFUND CCR LCC, when this would be reported to the credit bureau agency as settled in full, she said it would take two months. However, UNIFUND CCR LLC took only a few days to report to the credit agency that I owed them XXXX, which I did not owe per the settled agreement. This caused my credit score to drop within a few days. I believe this behavior is unethical.
