Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Smith Debnam Narron Drake Saintsing & Myers LLP
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I called Smith Debnam Narron Drake Saintsing and Myers, LLP regarding a letter they sent for a debt their Client XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX indicated I owed. When speaking with the representative on a recorded line, I first attempted to determine a payment arrangement. In response, the representative advised I could pay the debt off over a three ( 3 ) month period ( totaling {$1700.00} or so per month ). I advised that I could not afford that and inquired further and was told I could stretch it out over a year but in order to do that payment arrangement I must sign a document ( confession of judgment ) admitting to owing the debt, waiving any rights I XXXX have, and agree to have this filed in with the court. The representative then advised that after I sign this document and allowed them to file it in Court as a judgment, I could then begin repayment arrangements. This seemed deceptive as we began talking about possible payment arrangements, but the representative switched and told me oh yeah if you want to do this payment arrange, you can only do so by giving up your rights. I did not agree to this because I quickly understood I would be giving up all my rights to which the representative confirmed I would no longer have any defenses against the debt, but I could then begin repayment. I then stated I would never waive my rights and I indicated to the representative that the debt has been paid to the original creditor anyway, so I do not owe. In response, the representative confirmed that but then said that their client, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has not been paid. I responded with " I am not sure your Client has the right to collect on the debt. '' The representative then responded that I could call XXXX and obtain that information if I wanted. I responded that I am not required to do that but he is. 
I am not certain if the representatives at this law firm collecting on debt are monitored or trained but their debt collection practices are deceptive and they need training. Further, there is no reason the only way you can have anywhere near affordable payments requires you to agree to have a judgment entered in against you giving up all of your rights. I want proof that their Client has the right to collect on the debt. Specifically, the contract, the purchase amount and agreement.

Complaint narrative:
I applied for total and permanent discharge of my private school loans based on my 100 % veterans XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. They conditionally accepted my application and placed me on a 12 month monitoring period. I submitted my tax documents this year in XX/XX/XXXX in line with the Total and Permance Discharge agreement and they have denied me based on 1. an income level above the poverty level of one person twice on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ( despite the fact that the TPD application clearly states it will be based on a family size of two regardless of actual family size ), on XX/XX/XXXX for having an income above the poverty guidelines for a family size of 2 ( despite the fact that my income was under a family size of two ) and then denied me on XX/XX/XXXX because my income level is above the poverty level for a family size of two, which includes my VA XXXX income ( despite the fact that the TPD application clearly states it will utilize my employment income as documented on my tax return to determine my eligibility ).

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
