On XX/XX/2023 I turned off auto pay ... which was more than enough time for amex to know about it. I get an email today that they are pulling XXXX out and it's being processed yet I know I stopped it on XXXX. When I called amex the man said it was still active which is odd since it was turned off per the advice of an attorney XXXX. So I'm well aware of the fact I turned it off but miraculously it's back on... which I will tell the attorney about. 

The man said he couldn't shut it off as it's being processed ( convenient ) and I am writing to ask they shut it off immediately bc I did that on XX/XX/XXXX and the guy is trying to tell me maybe it's a " glitch ''. 

The bank was also contacted as to what they are doing.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: V and H Portfolio
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This is a new complaint, company again has separate violation. Please send to the company for explanation as the company REFUSED certified mail leaving me unable to communicate with them regarding the debt. I have asked for validation in writing and for written validation to be sent to me. Repeatedly have requested debt validation from company that meets the requirements of the FDCPA. Company has FAILED to provide requested information. Certified mail was REFUSED and returned to sender on XX/XX/XXXX. Letter refused requested in plain language what the debt is for, how the debt was calculated, a complete payment history, information from the original creditor if different from Vance and Huffman. 

I have sent multiple certified letters requesting debt validation to company. Most recent certified letter request sent via USPS, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, signed for by Vance and Huffman on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Delivered on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Delivered on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : Delivered on XX/XX/XXXX Company has failed to reply. The company received my requests as evidenced by certified mail signature. In all verbal communications company has failed to provide information as to what the debt is for, how the debt was calculated, the original creditor ( if different from Vance and Huffman ), complete payment history. The Fair Debt Collection Practice Act requires debt collectors send a written validation letter within 5 days of initial contact. No letter was ever received from Vance and Huffman despite my verbal notification of my mailing address and request for the communication they are required to send by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Greater than 90 days have elapsed since my request for validation of the debt was received by Vance and Huffman, yet they have violated the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by failing to respond in writing to my mailing address as requested multiple times. The debt still remains on my credit report despite my disputes and unanswered requests for validation. The Twila Boatley vs Diem Corporation in XXXX case the courts ruled that reporting the debt to a credit reporting bureau is collections activity. The Fair Debt Collection Act requires debt collectors to respond to debt validation requests and limits collection activity until the debt is validated. On XX/XX/XXXX the FTC released a publication regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX and debt parking, Vance and Huffman is engaging in the same illegal behavior.
