The company contacted me and left a message instructing me or my legal counsel to contact them immediately. I have not received any written correspondence about debt from this company, and they did not identify the phone call as an attempt to collect a debt. To my knowledge and according to my credit report as of XX/XX/2020 I do not owe any debt in collections or otherwise. The company, Compass Recovery Group, has a number of complaints on the XXXX XXXX XXXX detailing my exact scenario, with other people confirming they insinuated they'd be sued/imprisoned for not paying the unvalidated or already paid debt. They have also had people call consumers from an unlisted number, thus rendering it untraceable, to pretending to be process servers coming to serve papers at either their residence or job. Further, they have called me daily multiple times a day from various spoofed numbers from area codes in my state attempting to get me to call their ( XXXX number which is linked to an unverifiable location in XXXX, New York.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am attempting to payoff my mortgage to complete the sale of our home. However, Freedom Mortgage is being extremely unhelpful in the process. The title company faxed Freedom Mortgage a request to close the account on XX/XX/XXXX. When I called on XX/XX/XXXX Freedom claimed they did not receive anything, so we had to start a new inquiry. Closing was scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX and this was the final document needed to complete the sale. When I called again on XX/XX/XXXX to check on the status they said the estimated completion date was XXXX. The supervisor I spoke to added that if we could provide proof that the request was sent on XX/XX/XXXX than they would expedite it. I provided that information, but they were still unwilling to accommodate us. They ensured us multiple times that requests are complete within a 72 hour maximum time frame, but XXXX is outside of that window. I have been a part of numerous real estate transactions and know that this process takes less than 1 hour to complete. The supervisor I spoke to on XX/XX/XXXX said he was sorry we were misinformed, even though less than 24 hours ago we were told to provide proof.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
To PayPal : I am respectfully requesting that the hold on my funds/account be lifted. I am not necessarily requesting that my account be re-opened or allowed to continue to use the PayPal service, as I have already taken my business to your largest competitor and I am no longer in need of PayPals services. 

I have previously requested a review/appeal of my case which was denied. Although I still disagree with the decision to deny my appeal I will abide by it however because I feel that holding my funds for 180 days for a non-fraudulent violation of PayPals Acceptable Use Policy is excessive, and perhaps a punitive abuse of power. 

I understand PayPals need for holding funds for credit card chargeback purposes, however a review of my account history for the last year will reveal a very low chargeback rate as well as a high customer-satisfaction rate. I feel that any reasonable person would conclude that holding my entire balance for 180 days is excessive and may be viewed by some as punitive or as already stated, an unnecessary abuse of power and perhaps even contrary to the laws of some states. That being said I have no problem with, and agree to leave a balance of {$50.00} for credit card chargeback purposes for the duration of the 180 days. I feel that this is a fair resolution while still leaving PayPal with the means to charge back any future credit card disputes to my account. Please be aware that replying with the standard this is part of the terms of service that you agreed to will not satisfy my request or deter me from filing my complaints
