Consumer complaint received 2021-10-27 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EOS Holdings, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to alert the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau of a collections company that is violating my rights and not using proper communication methods when showing up on my credit report. I need the CFPB office to please look into my case. This account has just popped up on my credit report without ever communicating to me. There was no written letter to me or calls to me so I can explain that they have the wrong person. They have recently just popped up on my credit report and I am not familiar with how they got my information or how they have my social security number. I do not owe this company and I Right now I am getting an alert on my XXXX XXXX and credit monitoring service saying my credit score has dropped tremendously. I can furnish the images of this alert showing the collection company. They are hurting me financially and this is a really big issue. To my understanding, they must be compliant with laws and regulations that say they must write the consumer within days of the first communication. They are using my credit to communicate with me yet they wrote me before. .If they don't write me then how could send me a right to dispute or explain my rights? Please review the original paperwork for this account. I request they send me a copy of this information to my address. I also request the original contract signed showing my signature long with all other pages of the original agreement. I am suffering damages because of this error. I have been a victim of ID theft before and I monitor my financial affairs very closely.To me this seems like an instance of debt parking that I read about on the FTC website. The Federal Trade Commission has taken action against debt collection companies that allegedly placed bogus or highly questionable debts onto consumers credit reports to coerce them to pay the debts. They label this as DEBT PARKING. The Federal Trade Commission recently took action against a Missouri collection company and its owners, alleging that they collected more than {$24.00} XXXX from consumers, largely by placing bogus or highly questionable debts on their credit reports.The defendants used this illegal debt parking to coerce people to pay debts they didnt owe or didnt recognize, XXXX XXXX , director of the F.T.C.s bureau of consumer protection , said in prepared remarks about the agencys settlement with the company, XXXX XXXX XXXX.I DO NOT HAVE ANY BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS COMPANY and I am concerned they have unethically acquired my information and they are acting unethically with their debt collections. There is a process in law that protects consumers from these illegal actions. This account is lowering my credit score and if I am declined for anything, I will seek financial remedy by talking to an Fdcpa lawyer.

They call me everyday from three different numbers with the last 4 numbers somewhat similar or different than the others starting as early as XXXX XXXX for the last two weeks. The last conversation I told them to send me the information through mail because I need it in writing & they still continue to call, some days at least twice.

Company: CLGF Holdco 1, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I applied on-line from a mailed pre-approval letter that highlighted no sign-up fees. After I received the card I called to activate it and there was already a balance of {$170.00}. I called customer service and stated I won't activate the card. They said they will close the card per my request and that " I will not be responsible for the balance. '' I week later I received the attached letter from the credit card company showing the {$170.00} balance stating that " if your account has a balance, you will continue to receive monthly statements. '' I called the number listed in the letter and spoke with " XXXX ''. After I told her about my conversation with another woman a week prior, " XXXX '' stated that that letter was already sent prior to my initial conversation. ( My initial conversation was on XX/XX/2021, which is the date of the attached letter. ) I requested a confirmation letter or email specifying that I am not responsible for the balance as promised from both conversations, but " XXXX '' said that if there is a balance it will be indicated in the next statement. So basically, " XXXX '' performed the typical creditor trickery of saying one thing and doing something completely different ; why would I receive another statement if I never activated the card, the account is closed and I am not responsible for the balance? For the record, I cut the card on XX/XX/2021.
