Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
HI AND HOW ARE YOU? You continue to report incomplete and unverifiable negative items on my credit - how is that even possible? I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report and I still found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. 
I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Complaint narrative:
I was assessed with a wrongful 30 day late payment. This was on the onset of covid when my hours at work were dramatically decreased. I made my minimum payment of XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX ( 29 days late ) my due date is XX/XX/XXXX. Since then I have paid off the card and my balance is zero. When explaining this to them they had no mercy and wouldnt make an adjustment to my credit report. Similar to in 2017 when I had auto pay to a different bank account and they wouldnt remove the late payment. I understand being firm on policy but for a customer of 3 years to not be understanding during a worldwide pandemic is not encouraging as a customer. This is preventing me to qualify for a mortgage and effecting my quality of live.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2020, {$2100.00} was charged to my Care Credit for XXXX work. I did not have the card, my cards are in my safe deposit box. They had the number so they charged the account. On XX/XX/2020 I needed to make my payment, tried online with Care Credit but it wouldnt let me because I didnt have the last 3 numbers on the back, so I called and they let me make a payment over the phone. He asked the card number and I said I didnt have my card, wasnt sure where it was. ( I am not irresponsible with my credit cards, as you can see my Credit score is in the 800 's ) He instruced me that he needed to note the account and would be sending a replacement card.. Before this call my credit score was XXXX, I received a notice from a Credit Protection company that one of my cards was stolen and if I disagree I was to fill out the dispute, which I did. on XX/XX/2020 I received a letter from Synchrony Bank ( Care credit ) that the lost or stolen card is put on my credit bureau for 2 years. I have truly lost another card of mine, that company NEVER did report me. As of today my credit score is XXXX, XXXX points!! If i can prove I have the old card will they remove this?

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2020, Collection Professionals called me and said I owed them over {$400.00}, plus interest. I told them that I have been making weekly payments directly to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, because Collection Professionals does not accept XXXX XXXX. The collector said that I still owed them {$400.00} plus interest in spite of that fact. My balance at that time was about {$250.00}. XXXX 's actions amount to illegally charging interest for an amount I don't owe. Their actions also constitute harrassment, since they have nothing to do with me resolving my debt.

Company: Braviant Holdings, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I was called 3 times in a row ( with no break in between calls ) from the same number XXXX today, and my husband, brother in law, and sister were also called. Today was the first time I had been called by this company and they left a message for me, my husband, and my brother that I was being served legal papers. I called them back to find out what it was for and they said it was for Balance Credit. The collection company was called XXXX and had a call back number of XXXX. They immediately accused me of defrauding a company that I had previously repaid loans to and I explained that was not what happened. I had lost my job at the time and was unable to pay any of my debts. I have proof of my claims. I also advised the representative XXXX that I do not have any available funds to make a payment today. She only offered me to pay off the balance in full or with a settlement today ... I was offered no other repayment plans and was told that this will be taken to court since I can not immediately settle the debt. I believe this to be an unfair practice as I was not given any reasonable options to pay or time after being notified of the attempt to collect the debt.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax ; XXXX  and XXXX  are not investigating the lates reporting on my credit report. I have sent numerous letters to the bureaus requesting an investigation into the false reporting of lates and have never received any communication from the bureaus to show that my requests are being looked into. My most recent credit report attached shows the following accounts are not in dispute when in fact they should be reporting that they ARE in dispute. The accounts are as follows - partial account numbers XXXX ; XXXX ; XXXX ; XXXX ; and XXXX. The Fair Credit Reporting Act states that I... Have the right to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information. This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to not report accurate information on a credit report, as well as not to report accounts that are in dispute. This false reporting of lates is seriously harming my credit score and these line items need to be removed from my credit report. I have contacted the bureaus to remove these lates and to report these accounts in dispute however, I have not been successful.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I obtained a leased vehicle with XXXX XXXX services through their dealership XXXX in XXXX. About 2 years into the lease I was contacted by the salesman whom offered me to upgrade my vehicle into a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I went to the dealership and signed the papers and traded my old XXXX XXXX for the new XXXX XXXX XXXX. About 2 weeks after I had the new XXXX XXXX, the dealership contacted me and told me that they had calculated the incorrect payoff amount on the vehicle and that I still owed a payment. 

At the time I was in college and a student, I could not afford to make a second Car payment and told the dealership that this was not fair as they can not contact me 2 weeks after I drop the car off and tell me I still owe money when I signed the contract already. I offered to bring the car back and return it for my old vehicle but they said it was not possible. 

About 6 months later, I received a statement in the mail indicating that I would need to payoff the balance left on the vehicle or I would owe a significant amount of money as they would charge the account off. I phoned them and although still annoyed that I had to pay for the dealerships mistake, I agreed to pay off the balance. The representative then informed me that the car had already been auctioned and I now owed them around {$3200.00}. At that time it was completely impossible for me to pay since I had just come out of college. 

2 years later and finally agreed to settle the balance with them as I needed to obtain a loan for housing. I paid the amount and the account was settled. I have now discovered that they were continuously reporting payments on the vehicle for up to 8 months even when I did not have the vehicle in my possession or was not making payments to them. This gave a FALSE date of first delinquency that continues to disrupt my credit as the charge off shows wrongly. I have paid thousands of dollars in extra interest over other loans due to XXXX XXXX incompetence to provide correct Credit reporting. Additionally I have asked numerous time through dispute and direct contact for them to assist and fix the reporting errors to no avail.
