Consumer complaint received 2023-07-09 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Computer Credit, Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter from CCI saying that I owed money to XXXX XXXX under an account that does not match my XXXX accounts. I used their online form to dispute this bill, asking for details about date of visit and providers seen. I think I got a follow-up letter saying theyd research and get back to me. I didnt bother to write down dates or details of these letters because I assumed that more information would come, or theyd figure out the source of their error and drop the matter. 

I received another letter dated XX/XX/2023 saying I still owed {$25.00}, still with an account number I dont recognize. The letter said more details could be retrieved from their website using a reference number. This document was one long rephrasing of the demand letter, with a link buried in the wall of text to get the details. That link said the bill was for a visit on XX/XX/2023. 

I looked at my XXXX records online, and saw that was a date I had a telemedicine visit with my XXXX doctor. Then I looked at my XXXX XXXX  HSA records and saw that I paid {$25.00} towards that bill on XX/XX/2023. 

I have no idea how a 19 day old bill got sent to CCI for collections, but also am annoyed that they cant be bothered to check that it was paid months ago, even after disputing the amount with them. 

Why cant they get the correct account number on their collection letter? Why cant they include the details necessary to match the debt to a specific bill in the letter, and instead have to visit their website and dispute it? Why cant they respond to disputes with documentation, instead of sending another collection letter? Why does their web form not include the 1 line of information that documents their claim, instead of obscuring it with a link? It seems they do everything they can to get you to pay them rather than to justify why you owe them.

As a responsible consumer, I believe that it is essential for companies to respect the privacy and security of their customers ' personal information. However, it has come to my attention that you obtained my credit bureau report without my permission or a permissible purpose, which is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 USC 1681b. 

I have not initiated any transactions with your company, nor do I have an account with you for review or collection purposes. Therefore, there is no valid reason for you to access my credit report. Your actions amount to a violation of the FCRA, which is punishable by law, and I am prepared to take legal action if necessary. 

According to the FCRA, any person who knowingly and willfully obtains information on a consumer from a consumer reporting agency under false pretenses shall be fined, imprisoned, or both. Your actions not only violate my privacy rights but also put me at risk of identity theft. 

I demand that you remove the unauthorized inquiry from my credit report immediately. Moreover, I am willing to settle your civil liability damages for the violation of my privacy rights for {$1000.00} pursuant to FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681n. If you fail to comply with my request and refuse to settle the matter by making payment in the amount of {$1000.00} within ten ( 10 ) calendar days of receiving this notice, I will seek actual damages, which are greater than {$1000.00}.

State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I have written letters to Credit bureaus about the errors on my credit report three times and always comes back accurate. I know there has been no investigation because I clearly provided them with the credit report the accounts to be removed immediately. The Fair Credit Reporting Act states if any credit report is not 100 % accurate, It must be removed or the business is subject to a {$1000.00} violation. Which I will pursue if these accounts are not removed immediately. XXXX will not give me a copy of my credit report unless I pay for it as the representative of XXXX said to me.I said, I am supposed to get a free copy of my report. The representative hung up on me, which is a violation of the FCRA Law. I am extremely disappointed with how I have been treated, ignored, and deemed as less than for expressing what has been set in place for people like me. I am looking to resolve this in a calm, quick and hassle-free manner without having to escalating my problems further to those willing to listen to me and take my concerns serious. 
15 USC 1681 A 4 : There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and respect for the consumer 's right to privacy.
