Company: Aldous & Associates, PLLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am making this complaint against Aldous & Associates for committing identity theft. I have never given Aldous & Associates any permission to use any of my identifying information to commit mail fraud by contacting me about an alleged debt they claim I owe. I am aware that in accordance with Article 9, the assignment of a defaulted note is illegal. Both the assignee and the assigned are both liable for violations under 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 12 ).

I have never received any documentation requesting validation from Aldous & Associates before they committed multiple violations under the FCRA and the FDCPA by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer report including but not limited to 15 U.S. Code 1692d ( 4 ) which the FTC defines as debt parking. If Aldous & Associates can not provide me with proof such as a tracking number that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me, the consumer, prior to furnishing it on my consumer report, this has been a fraudulently furnished account with forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. 

I am legally refusing to pay this debt pursuant to 1692c ( c ). I am demanding a cease and desist of all illegal activity, any communication and collection activity, of this and any alleged debts until ( Debt Collector ) can provide me with sufficient documentary evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. If this documentary evidence can not be produced and ( Aldous & Associates continues its collection efforts, I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and Aldous & Associates will be held criminally liable for aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 USC 1028A, extortion, theft by deception, securities fraud, and mail fraud. Upon the receipt of the documents herein and of this notice, you are hereby notified Pursuant UCC 1-202f. Your prompt attention and response are both requested and required.

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I haven't ignited the account this company is placing on my consumer report. I tried numerous of times to delete this information from my consumer report and the company did comply by removing the alleged debt from my consumer report. However, they are still reporting the account on the other two reporting agencies. Instead of a deletion the company decided to decrease the debt 50 % turning alleged debt to {$3500.00} then months later sent another letter decreasing the debt more, now the debt is {$1700.00}. However, on my consumer report the debt is still reporting {$3500.00} which is misrepresentation and additionally ignoring my originally request which is to have the alleged debt deleted. I haven't received any supporting documents stating that I started the alleged debt or how the debt was verified by the company.

Company: Helvey & Associates, Inc., Warsaw, IN Branch
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was over charged by XXXX XXXX. ON A RECORDED phone call on XX/XX/2021, I was informed by a XXXX employee by the name of XXXX that there was glitch in their system which resulted in my final bill being charged too much, {$740.00}. The Actual amount I owe is {$290.00}. To which I requested NOT to be debited from my checking account. I I formed XXXX I would call in my credit card number the following Friday. 
On the say Friday {$560.00} was charged to my checking account anyway. When I called XXXX, they refused to discuss the matter with me, insisting the amount was correct, which clearly isn't even the original amount I called to question on XX/XX/XXXX, to begin with, they kept denying any wrong doing, or that i even spoke to anyone previously. I informed my bank the charge was not authorized by me and the money was credited back to my account. This charge suddenly appears on my credit report. 
I have contacted XXXX directly via phone call and was told they do not do investigation inquiries. That they only ask the reporting agency if the amount is correct or not... WHAT?! 
Meanwhile this is on my credit report effecting my score.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX and TransUnion. I have been challenging this account with both companies XX/XX/2022, upon challenging this XXXX has deleted the account based on the lack of ability to properly verify all reported information being accurate. To my understanding the creditor reports the same information to all bureaus per FCRA. If this is true I am requesting information used to verify this account in writing. However Ive have sent disputes, and both companies keep updating the accounts and not sending me proof to verify the debt. I sent a complaint to CFPB about this same company and XXXX said they will handle the account still not verifying the account per dispute they sent in the mail. Also both companies XXXX and TransUnion both aren't reporting accurate information on this account, So how can they say they have finish their investigation with wrong information from both parties. THIS IS A VIOLATION.
