Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I resolved a debt from XXXX with Midland Funding LLC, XXXX XXXX XXXX  and they took me to court in XXXX. I never recieved a proof of debt where the collection agency bought the debt and that I owed them the amount still. They put a lien on my property and never sent paperwork to arrange payments on this matter. Fast forward 10 years later and they filed a motion with the assistance of XXXX and XXXX representing them. XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), MO XXXX. Phone : ( XXXX ) XXXX to revive the debt/judgement. They did so on the day before the 10 year grace period expired per the XXXX XXXX RSmO XXXX. When I called about the proof of debt they stated they didnt have correct address to send me paperwork then stated " we tried to but we didn't have the correct address and it got a notice to return back to sender '' however, if they did in fact try and send said paperwork how were they able to send me summons to appear in court to the same address they had on file? I went to my court hearing today on XX/XX/XXXX in XXXX XXXX and the mediator for the attorney 's offfice who doesn't even work for XXXX and XXXX stated they didnt have to send me anything to pay the bill or set up a payment plan which doesn't seem ethical at all. Now the original debt they said that I owed was {$6400.00} and that they incrued interest of {$6000.00} which made my total debt {$12000.00}. That amount spanned over 10 years is an interest rate of 20 %. Now I am an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and that amount is against the law per XXXX and XXXX XXXX. XXXX The XXXX percent interest rate cap. 50 U.S.C. 3937 The SCRA limits the amount of interest that may be charged on certain financial obligations that were incurred prior to and during military service to no more than six percent per year, including most fees which can be found at https : //www.justice.gov/servicemembers/servicemembers-civil-relief-act-scra # : ~ : XXXX % 20 % XXXX % 80 % 93 % XXXX % XXXX % XXXX % XXXX, per % XXXX % XXXX % XXXX % XXXX % XXXX. 
Furthermore, the action taken by this company I beleive violates XXXX Missouri statute MO XXXX XXXX XXXX that limits the amount of time they have to collect on an old credit card debt they wish to settle. Lastly, I tried to contact XXXX and XXXX to resolve this debt and they were beyond rude with me and basically stated that they would not settle for any less than the {$12000.00}. I beleive they are trying to bully everyday citizens and are violating the protections of servicemembers. Please advise on what I can do to resolve this. Thank you for your assistance and have a great day. I can be reached at XXXX or XXXX.

I received a copy of my credit report with the intention of trying to improve my credit and take care of my responsibilities and noticed a few accounts that I wanted a little more explanation on. 
I am not saying they are reporting right or wrong. I am just saying that I am not 100 percent sure if they are. I also read something called the Fair Credit Reporting Act where it said by law, I had rights to challenge anything I am not sure is accurate. Some of the people reporting things on me, I have never heard of which made me write to you all.

Are you familiar with something called 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681i ( a )? I heard that if you cant provide proof, these accounts must be deleted. Well I want these accounts deleted if they are not 100 percent right and correct. So, could you please check on these and get back with me? I saw on a XXXX XXXX and XXXX where this lawyer said you have 30 days to complete this investigation. 
Please investigate the following accounts and remove them if anything is missing or not correct on them. 


Paid Account/Late Payments : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Please investigate if every piece of information is correct on the reported late payment history.

Could you please send it to me? Also, please let me know who had access to my file as well. I want the investigation outcome to be sent to my address I put on the from area.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
Loan for Marcus Goldman Sachs, 36 months for {$210.00} @ 17 %. First payment was in XX/XX/XXXX. Auto pay so never missed. They have a program which you can defer a payment if you make XXXX in a row. I took advantage ONLY one time, XX/XX/XXXX which then extended my last payment instead of XX/XX/XXXX, would be XX/XX/XXXX. I have paid in XXXX payments leaving XXXX left. Amount would be XXXX x XXXX {$1000.00}. Yet as of this month, XX/XX/XXXX I still owe {$1300.00}. I know interest still accrued for XXXX, but seems {$300.00} + is high or amounts to an extra payment and a half. PLUS -- - from last month to this month I only earned XXXX cents towards the principal,. Im tired of the stay/work at homes, not very helpful and the one time I called, she didnt know, was gon na check, but got hung up on. Plus having problems -unable to look at my documents again online. 
" We will waive any interest incurred during the deferral, and extend your loan by one month ( you will pay interest during this extra month ) ''. Which would be {$300.00}! They should warn customers then of a possible high interest accumulation. 
P.S. I am shown to have a low credit score, ( possible?? ) but it is only because of my son making late car payment, which I am a co-signer.
