Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I disputed this Jefferson capital system account and did not get a proper dispute result. The validation letter I sent reads as such : I checked a copy of my credit report and realized that there was a collection reported from your agency, which I was not notified about. I do not reject to provide with the debt amount. However, this is a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ), that your claim is disputed and a validation is demanded. This is asking for proof regarding the debt that I owe and verifying it.
I am requesting you to stop all collection activities including reporting this information on my credit report. I am sure that you are aware of the fact that non-compliance with this request may end up in legal obligations.
<P/>
Please dispatch copies of the following with your reply : 1. The agreement which authorizes you to collect debt on the assumed debt.
2. The signed agreement from the debtor confirming to pay the debt.
3. The documents regarding the payments made on this account and validation of the amount.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I wanted to set up automatic payment from my bank to pay the full bill every month on my Bank of America XXXX XXXX obtained through XXXX XXXX XXXX. I filled out the form from XXXX XXXX and wrote in that I wanted to pay the full amount every month. When the approval came through I noticed the credit card company was only taking the minimum monthly bill in the future. A cozy way for them to let the balance ride and charge me interest. I called XXXX XXXX, complained and had that automatic payment canceled. The person on the phone sent me another paper application and told me I could also make the arrangement to pay the full amount on line. Well I tried on line but there was no option to pay the full amount every month. On the second paper application there was again no blank to direct paying the full amount every month. Previously I had written in the instruction to pay the full amount every month. Knowing this would not work, I did not resubmit the paper form, nor try the online form, which also did not offer the option I sought. So far I only used the credit card on my first in-store purchase at XXXX XXXX XXXX and have, which I paid by check, but have not used the card since. XXXX has an option for paying the full amount monthly on an automatic basis, which I take advantage of for two Visa cards. I think the failure of XXXX XXXX to offer this option is a sneaky way to keep running balances so they can charge interest.

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for a credit card with Best Buy some years back at the XXXX, Florida store location. I noticed I have been being charged for a " fee '' called Enhanced Debt Protection plan. This plan is approximately a dollar a day. <P/>I called Best Buy and wanted to report this as fraud for which I was denied this right with them saying I had signed up for this plan. I also spoke with Citi bank who the card is through and also asked to report this as fraud and they also denied me the right to file a fraud complaint saying because I had signed up for this plan. Again, I told them I had never signed up for such a plan. I also called this so-called Enhanced Debt Protection plan number and had them to cancel this immediately and informed them I had never signed up for any such plan and that these were fraudulent charges and demanded that I receive a full refund. I was told that they would cancel this plan but it would be thirty days before I would get a letter in the mail saying if I would get a refund or not. I asked for an address for Enhanced Debt Protection and a phone number and was given a post office box in Texas and was told there was no other physical address of phone number to reach them. <P/>I sent an email to the Best Buy XXXX, Florida store tonight asking for help in this matter as well. I asked that they try to find my application and make sure there was not a glitch or a mistake or that someone had made a change in my application. <P/>I have seen online, after searching for an answer to my problem to see if others had the same problem, where this was a problem for many and they have said they also never signed up for these plans. <P/>From what I have read online it appears that this has been going on for quite some time now. I want my money refunded. This is purely a fraud/scam. <P/>Also, there is no email to reach Best Buy corporate available on the Best Buy website. I am tired of calling and getting no where on the phone with people. I want to start putting everything in writing.
