Product: Debt collection — Payday loan debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Impersonated attorney, law enforcement, or government official
Company: C & M Associates Group, Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is for Chadsworth and Macon Assoc. On XXXX XXXX I received a call from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX where a man said he was calling to get a statement from me regarding a debt I owed from XXXX. I told him its not my debt bc its for an XXXX XXXX pay day loan that was withdrawn from my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Acct. Ive never had an XXXX  acct so I knew it was false. I asked him what I should do and he said to talk to them and come to a settlement or itll be worse for me, so I said fine. And he said OK Ill transfer you now. Which I thought was weird that XXXX XXXX had a mediator that called in regards to XXXX debts and could easily transfer like that. 
But I got bullied by the company to pay {$1000.00} due to the initial XXXX XXXX call and lots of threats to my credit report and/or being sued so I called my CC company and told them the situation and that I paid before I realized this might be a scam and the fraud dept found reason to say that the payment be refunded to me. Then they called from the XXXX # XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and their number ( XXXX & XXXX ) several times and said they were taking me to court for reporting fraud bc now Im the one who committed fraud? Almost scared me into paying again until I found other complaints of the same things happen to others.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account with TransUnion was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

TransUnion Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the alleged debt of {$690.00} that has been reported by LVNV Funding LLC . I assert that I am not liable for this debt and request an immediate investigation under the relevant provisions of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

**1. Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : ** Under the FDCPA, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1692g, a debt collector is required to provide validation of the debt upon request. I have not received any legally sufficient documentation or validation that confirms my obligation to pay this debt. As such, LVNV Funding LLC is in violation of the FDCPA. 

**2. Doctrine of Estoppel by Silence : ** I invoke the doctrine of estoppel by silence, as established in XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. LVNV Funding LLC has failed to provide proof of the alleged debt after I requested it, which under this doctrine, indicates that no proof exists, and therefore, no such debt exists. 

**3. Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : ** Under the FCRA, specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681i, I am entitled to dispute any information in my credit report that I believe to be inaccurate or incomplete. Given that LVNV Funding LLC has not provided any verifiable evidence of my liability for this debt, I request that this item be removed from my credit report immediately. 

**4. Lack of Legal Standing : ** Furthermore, LVNV Funding LLC has not provided any legal documentation showing that they have standing to collect this debt. The absence of an assignment of the original debt to LVNV Funding LLC further invalidates their claim.

**5. Cease and Desist : ** I also demand that LVNV Funding LLC immediately cease and desist from any further attempts to collect this alleged debt until it can provide full and verifiable documentation that substantiates the claim. 

In light of the above, I request the following actions from the CFPB : 1. Investigate LVNV Funding LLC for violations of the FDCPA and FCRA.

2. Require LVNV Funding LLC to provide legally sufficient validation of this debt, if it exists.

3. Ensure that this debt is removed from my credit report immediately if LVNV Funding LLC can not provide such validation.

4. Enforce appropriate penalties against LVNV Funding LLC for their failure to comply with federal regulations. 

Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and inform me of the steps being taken to resolve this matter. 

Thank you for your attention to this important issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
