Complaint narrative:
Hi. I need some help. I was the victim of identity theft a while ago. The thief has used my information to obtain credit under my name. I have fought this several times over the years. Recently there is an account on my credit report that I have never done business with. It is called XXXX. 

Last month I sent letters to the credit bureaus to fight this account as not being mine. I don't know what happened, but I never heard back from them. Everyone I know tells me I'm supposed to hear back from them in 30 days or this account is supposed to fall off my report. Its been more than 30 days. I want this account to fall off my report because its not mine. Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
Mr. XXXX XXXX SSN # : XXXX To Whom It May Concern : Hi I have been customer since XX/XX/XXXX and during this time I have enjoyed my experience with TOTAL XXXX. I am writing to see if you would be willing to make a GOODWILL adjustment to your reporting to the three credit agencies. I have a late payment on the above referenced account from XXXX of XXXX. Because of my previous payment history never exceeding 30 days I would REALLY like for you to consider removing the negative payment from my credit report. At the time of the late payment, I scheduled a payment of {$210.00} and at that point something happened on the back end system that did not allow my payment to fully process. IT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF MY CONTROL. I say that to show that the late payment is not an accurate indicator of my actual credit worthiness. I hope that you are willing to work with me on erasing this mark from my credit reports. It it greatly affecting me and my new family from getting a car and getting accepted to a new apartment. Three dealers and 2 landlords have already denied me for having a late payment within this calendar year. 
I have been a very happy customer in the past and hope to continue a long relationship with Total. With todays credit industry being so competitive, I know how important it is to maintain good relationships with customers. You guys has been exceptional in my book so far and I hope that you will deeply consider my request!!! I have attached a screen shot of my scheduled payment and an attachment of my bank statement for that month showing the something went wrong and my payment was never taken out. The bank account came back unable to locate but my bank statement for that month prove otherwise. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I had previously informed you that a number of accounts were being reported on my credit report, which were not mine. I am writing again, to request that you reinvestigate these accounts, and delete them. 
I do not have access to the documents related to this account, but the creditors would. Please note that for some of these, I believe that a relative that may have forged my name ( or used my personal information ) in order to take out these accounts without my knowledge, consent and permission. Therefore, please obtain all documents from any of these debts, and even if my signature appears on them, I ask that you review any notes, phone calls, bills of sale, and even compare my handwriting and signature, which I am certain you will see, is not mine. I would be happy to provide you with any handwriting samples you may need. 

Once deleted, please inform all other credit reporting agencies. If somehow these accounts are verified, I would request you send me all documentation, including letting me know who provided any information to you, so that I can conduct an investigation, or otherwise pursue my legal remedies for reporting things on my credit that are not and never were mine.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
An original account that I had through XXXX XXXX  was purchased by Midland Credit Management Inc. who was their signee. Midland directed me to the Law Firm that they hired/retained as a debt collector. Upon multiple conversations both over the phone with the law firm and through email with the attorney for the Collections Department. The Law-firm agreed to settle the account in FULL and verified via email on XXXX XXXX2020 that my account " HAS BEEN CLOSED IN OUR OFFICE AFTER RECEIPT OF PAYMENT TO SETTLE IN FULL. '' The original amount owed was {$2700.00} and I counter offered, in which they counter offered and I agreed to their counter in the amount of {$2000.00} The part that I didn't notice was that they stated that there was a remainder of {$670.00} that was not paid. 

How can there be a balance of {$670.00} when I paid the agreed upon amount of {$2000.00} and they closed the account after RECEIPT OF PAYMENT TO SETTLE IN FULL? 

This is so deceptive I don't know where to start. I learned that this is not an uncommon practice for them after doing the research. I just want the balance removed from XXXX  and XXXX reports.

Company response to consumer: Closed with non-monetary relief
