Complaint narrative:
I purchased a used car and received a loan in XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX. After doing some research I realized that this company is a loan shark and has totally taken advantage of me. They charged me exuberant fees for a car that was practically useless. It broke down and fee 's were never explained to me properly. Either way. this company is refusing to acknowledge the fact that I'm challenging information on my credit report with them. They even keep returning the mail that I have sent to them! I am using the address that is listed on the credit report. I've also explained this to the 3 major credit bureaus. XXXX did do the right thing and removed this from my credit report.However, XXXX and Transunion are still reporting this account and all of the derogatoriness. 

There are so many inconsistencies with this account. Nothing makes sense and they refuse to send me the information so that I can even see if what they did or are doing is legal! 

For example, Transunion shows the balance on this account as {$21000.00} and XXXX shows the balance as XXXX. Now how can this be? It's only one or the other. I dont ' even know what they sold the car for or applied to my account. I have no idea when the car was even sold at auction, or if it even was?

I don't know what else to do in this situation. Please help!

I'm attaching screenshots of my credit report, as well as letters that I've sent to them that have been returned!

Company: Zions Debt Holdings
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I was alerted to a new collection account being reported on my credit report. Upon further investigation, I was able to confirm that the alleged debt had passed the 7 year limitation, per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. It was first purchased, from the original company XXXX, by a collection agency by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX. After the 7 year deadline had passed, this collection dropped off of my credit report. It later reappeared, being reported by a new company by the name Zion 's Debt Holdings, that must have purchased the debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX and was attempting to re-age the debt. I disputed the collection with XXXX, the only credit bureau that had this listed on my report. They completed an investigation, and instead of denying it outright, they " updated '' it by adding more erroneous information. I once again disputed it, with the same result. I provided them with documents showing a past credit report listing XXXX XXXX XXXX as the previous debt collection agency reporting this debt, which I will attach to this letter. I also sent a letter directly to Zion 's Debt Holdings, requesting validation. They sent me back the original contract signed with XXXX  in XXXX, and a note written by XXXX, making the fraudulent claim that they had sold the debt to Zion 's Debt Holdings, when in fact, the company they sold the debt to was XXXX XXXX XXXX. So, to recap, this debt is older than 7 years, and by law, is required to come off of my credit report, but is being fraudulently re-aged.
