Company: Zions Debt Holdings
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Zion is a debt collector. They purchased a " debt '' from XXXX. 

XXXX : I signed a XXXX contract with XXXX. Payment of {$33.00} made. Almost immediately, I was not happy with their service. I asked to cancel and I was told that there is a 30 day notification required for cancellation. I confirmed that I would like to cancel. I was told by XXXX customer support that a cancellation packet would be emailed to me. 
XXXX : Payment of {$33.00} made. Called requesting cancellation packet. It will be emailed to me. 
XXXX : Payment of {$33.00} made. Called requesting cancellation packet. It will be emailed to me. 
XXXX : Payment of {$33.00} made. Called requesting cancellation packet. It will be emailed to me. 
XXXX : Payment notification email received. I replied in writing that I would like a cancellation packet. 
XXXX : Cancellation contract signed. 

As you can see, I attempted multiple times to cancel this service before successfully doing so. I do not know why I have a reported debt of {$220.00} when XXXX actually reports my account in good standing with a {$0.00} balance on XXXX. 

I guess XXXX recently sold this " debt '' to Zion and now they've filed fraudulent reports with XXXX and XXXX. XXXX does NOT show any negative reports.

Complaint narrative:
My bank, PNC bank will not credit me back for the {$300.00} that I paid a service for. The service will not respond to me and has stolen my {$300.00}. I have tried appealing this decision made by my bank but they will not credit me back for the service I never received. I purchased the service in full on XX/XX/2022 which was taken from me then. I scheduled the service, and it ended up being cancelled over 4 times. The provider stopped responding to me and took my {$300.00}. PNC Bank will not do right by me, their loyal customer and give me my money back that was stolen from me. The provider was XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX located in Oregon. This provider is extremely unprofessional due to the fact she cancelled my service at least 4 different times, dragged the service times out for the span of an entire year and has no communication with her clients. Her lack of legitimacy should not allow her to continue her business in the manner she does. I have gone back and forth with PNC Bank and they refuse to credit me back, yet they recognize what this so called business owner has done to me.
