Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: The Lueder Law Firm, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Lueder, Larkin & Hunter, LLC, a debt collection law firm, for practices that I believe violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). The firm is attempting to collect on an outstanding XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ) debt associated with my property in XXXX, Georgia. 

Unreasonable Payment Deadlines ( FDCPA 1692f ) : On XX/XX/year>, the firm issued a payoff letter with a balance of {$5300.00}, requiring payment within just three business days. This unreasonably short deadline made it difficult to comply and contributed to additional charges.

Lack of Clarity and Transparency in Charges ( FDCPA 1692e ) : The firm repeatedly added charges, including {$350.00} in " miscellaneous charges '' and {$1400.00} in " attorneys fees, '' without providing a detailed, itemized breakdown. This lack of transparency made it impossible to verify the accuracy of these amounts.

Delayed and Inconsistent Communication ( FDCPA 1692c ) : Despite my prompt payments and follow-ups, the firm delayed confirming receipts and issuing updated payoff letters. These delays directly caused additional interest and penalties.

Potential Misrepresentation of Legal Consequences ( FDCPA 1692e ( 5 ) ) : The firm repeatedly referenced liens and lawsuits while my payments were actively being processed, creating unnecessary stress and pressure to pay balances that were not clearly justified.

I have attached the following : ( 1 ) Correspondence with the firm demonstrating unreasonable deadlines and delayed responses.

( 2 ) Payoff letters and payment confirmations showing shifting balances and lack of transparency.

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted a request for investigation of the above noted accounts, which you denied. I submitted sufficient information for you perform a reasonable investigation of my dispute. Unfortunately, you neglected to do so. If you had investigated properly the results would have proven that I have never been late on these accounts though your company claims to have verified these. 

Depending solely on your flawed e-Oscar system has proven to produce less than accurate and fair information. I request that you take a more active and accurate approach to investigate this for me. 

As in Cushman v TransUnion, Stevenson v. TRW ( Experian ), and Richardson v. Fleet, XXXX, et al, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldn't merely " parrot '' information from the creditors and collection agencies ... that they have to conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty/integrity of the creditor/CA in question. Sending out a generic form letter through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is by no ones measure reasonable.

Complaint narrative:
My Experian account was hacked 3 weeks ago. I have lost control of the account due to the hacker changing my email and phone number. I called XX/XX/year> and my issue was escalated with no contact back at all. I called again today and spoke with disputes, fraud, and member services regarding my Experian account being hacked, and XXXX XXXX XXXX  account being opened fraudulently. They were able to unfreeze my credit ( trying to apply for a mortgage ), and suspend ( not cancel ) the XXXX XXXX  account opened fraudulently. I needed my e-mail and phone number changed back as the hacker took control, and all communications are going to him. They sent me in circles though an automated system and the issue is still not fixed and I can not log in. I am also unable to reach a live person 70 % of the time. When asked for a direct contact they said they are unable and I have to go through the automated system, that refuses to give a live operator.
