Complaint narrative:
I was a victim of identity theft in XXXX and the collection agency took me to court, and I won the case with that collection agency. I since have found out that there were more items that must have been opened at that time. Back in XXXX or XXXX when Midland Credit Management started calling me and demanding their money, I told them this was not my debt explained that my SSN must have been used in other instances as well. I asked at that time for proof this was my debt and to send me the contract they have purchased. I have never received anything other than bills and harassing phone calls where I am threatened, they will take my wages and my bank accounts if I do not pay. I have since moved and my children live at my past residence, but the phone calls continue. I do not know of these contracts, and they are still reporting to the credit bureaus and if I answer my phone, they renew the date on the collection action. I have even tried to dispute this with XXXX and all that came of that is they reaffirmed the debt with the Midland Credit Management without providing any proof this is my debt. I would like all XXXX removed from my credit report and I want the phone calls to stop.

Company: Veem  Inc.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/year>, I transferred USD XXXX from my XXXX bank account ( provided via Elevate Pay, in partnership with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ) into my Veem account. A few days later, Veem abruptly disabled my account, citing compliance reasons. They stated the funds would be returned after coordination with their partner bank and my sending bank. 

My original bank account was scheduled for closure on XX/XX/year>, and I informed Veem about the urgency to refund the money before then. Despite numerous emails and chats with their support team, where I provided full documentation, new banking details, and alternative refund options, I received only vague assurances. After the bank account was closed, Veem went silent and has not provided any update or refund, despite acknowledging that the funds were with them. 

I believe Veem failed to act within a reasonable timeframe, resulting in a missed opportunity for refund processing. Their communication has since ceased, and I am left without my {$1000.00}. This situation has severely impacted my financial planning and mental health.
