Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, MCM reached out to me threatening to sue for a debt that I had tried to tell them wasnt mine and was a result of my identity being stolen by my abusive mother. They didnt hear me, and only wanted the money. Scared of a lawsuit, I caved and set up a payment plan with them to avoid a suit. I have been making payments monthly for a debt that I did not create nor reap the benefits of. Now, I had a payment not go through due to my card being turned off overnight manually so that my account isnt frauded. On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with account manager XXXX, who said that the payment would be retried overnight. When I checked with account manager XXXX later that day ( see screenshot below ), she said she wasnt sure and to wait until the next day to see if it would happen. That didnt happen, and my payment plan was voided. They have also been sending me conflicting emails about how much total is due, with varying amounts ( see images ). Their website is also misleading, showing that a payment posted after the failed transaction ( see image ). The amount of inconsistencies in this company as well as the lack of knowledge in its workers tell me all I need to know about it, and I have lost confidence that I can resolve this with them. The account wasnt mine to begin with, but I was afraid to be sued for it because my name is attached to it. The tactics they use are inhumane and wrong.
