Company: Sequium Asset Solutions, LLC
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I was charged for move-out items by Sequium Asset Solutions two years after moving out and after paying the charges via a payment plan to the management company XXXX. Sequium sent a collections letter in XXXX of XXXX ( I moved out XXXX of XXXX ) saying I owed {$790.00}. After trying to verify this debt from the management company and apartment complex, I received no further information saying that I owed this amount. The apartment complex told me that they switched management companies in XXXX of XXXX and had no information on these charges. When I spoke to Sequium they would not provide any additional information except the balance owed, and used aggressive communication tactics to get me to pay the debt without verification that it was legitimate. Due to the time that passed between moving out and the bill being sent to collections, as well as it not showing up on my credit report, and without confirmation of the legitimacy of these charges, I believe this may be a scam. I see Sequium has numerous reports against it, and it is very difficult to discern as a consumer whether this debt being collected is legitimate, except for viewing my credit report where there is no collection reported.

Complaint narrative:
Please remove the account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from my XXXX, Transunion, and XXXX credit reports due to inaccurate reporting. The credit reporting agencies are reporting an incorrect balance and the date that the account was charged and sold off is incorrect and according to FCRA this incorrect reporting is grounds for the removal of the account. I will attach a copy of the notice from the original creditor with the correct balance and date of charge off. Also, this balance was taken care of with the original creditor because I had no knowledge that the account was sold. The account with the original creditor is also still reporting on my account which is also a violation as well as double jeopardy. Please remove XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from my credit report immediately.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Velocity Portfolio Group
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
My XXXX XXXX  credit card was charged off and sold to CKS Financial in XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I called CKS Financial to see if they offered a settlement to pay the account. At the time, the account was not reporting to the credit reporting agencies. Before I made a payment, I asked the customer service rep if it will report to the credit reporting agencies in the future and she replied no since it was not already reporting. I asked agent if she could send me a letter stating that. I was told after I make the payment, I would receive a letter via email stating it would not report to the credit bureaus upon settlement. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a document to my email from CKS financial administrator, but it was not a statement saying it would not report to the credit bureaus, instead it looked to be a confirmation of my agreement to debit my checking account and showed my payment amount of {$450.00} and balance {$0.00}. I also received a letter via mail that showed my settlement amount and stated my account was " closed ''. 

6 months later I received a credit monitoring alert I had a " new collection '' on my XXXX credit report. CKS Financial had inserted the settled account on my credit report under the name CKS Prime Investments , LLC and listed the account type as " open account '' and listed the closed date as XX/XX/XXXX. I called CKS in XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to a manager. I disputed the Account being " open '' and the date they were reporting the account closed. The manger told me if I would pay the " difference '' between the charged off amount of {$720.00} and the amount I settled, {$450.00}, She would remove the account from my XXXX report. I declined the offer. CKS never put a dispute remark on my credit report as required by the FCRA. 

When I applied for credit recently, I was denied based on an " open collection '' on my XXXX report. CKS Prime Investments , LLC is the only collection on my credit report, and it says it was updated in XX/XX/XXXX and still says its " open '' with a close date of XX/XX/XXXX. 

This inaccurate reporting and failure to let creditors know I disputed this information has cause me financial harm by preventing me for applying for credit.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It Concern at XXXX. 
I received a bill from you on [ insert date ] and as allowable under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, I am requesting validation of the alleged debt. I am aware that there is a debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX but I am unaware of the amount due and your bill does not include a detailed breakdown of any fees. 
Furthermore, I am allowed under the HIPAA law ( Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ) to protect my privacy and medical records from third parties. I do not recall giving permission to XXXX XXXX XXXX for them to release my medical information to a third party. I understand that the HIPAA does allow for limited information about me but any details may only be revealed with the patients authorization, therefore my request is twofold and as follows : Validation of Debt and HIPAA authorization - Please provide a breakdown of fees including any and all collection costs and medical charges- Please provide a copy of my signature with the provider of service to release my medical information to you - Immediately cease any credit bureau reporting until debt has been validated by me Please send this information to my address listed above and accept this letter, sent certified mail, as my formal debt validation request, of which I am allowed under the FDCPA. 
Please note that withholding the information you received from any medical provider in an attempt to be HIPAA compliant will be a violation of the FDCPA because you will be deceiving me after my written request. I am requesting full documentation of what you received from the provider of service in connection with this alleged debt. 
Furthermore, any reporting of this debt to the credit bureaus prior to allowing me to validate it may be a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which can allow me to seek damages from a collection agent. 
I await your reply with the above requested proof. 
Kind regards, XXXX XXXX I have sent them this on several different occasions they have not been able to validate the account, showing me any kind of agreement or my signature between me and the service provider.

Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX - Called the number at the bottom of the XXXX XXXX XXXX  website page that it said to call with mortgage questions. Was told that that was the number for auto loans and was transferred to the mortgage department. Reached someone to ask what the process was to get rid of PMI. XXXX I spoke with automatically requested PMI be removed. When I said I just wanted info, she told me that I could call the number on the letter I'd receive if I have questions. 
XX/XX/XXXX - Received response denying removal ( expected ). 
XX/XX/XXXX- When I called the number on the letter to ask about process to get an appraisal to have this reevaluated, was told that the number I was given was the wrong one and was given another number to call. Called the new number. Waited on hold and was dead-ended into a voice mail. Left message. Tried several times throughout the day to reach a live person. No luck. Was not given a call back. 
XX/XX/XXXX - Called XXXX XXXX was told that that was in fact NOT the number to call to get this resolved. Was transferred to the original number on the letter I received. Was again told that that was NOT the right department and given the ( original ) XXXX XXXX again. Before the call ended, I explained my experience and was transferred to a supervisor. Supervisor gave me the XXXX XXXX again, after trying to transfer me, where she only got the voice mail also. 

I have no way to reach a real person to get this resolved. And clearly the XXXX customer service doesn't know to get it done either.
