Consumer complaint received 2023-03-04 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2022, I contacted XXXX XXXX to terminate my service because I was relocating and no longer required my home telephone. I instructed that my service was to end on the last day of the month, and that no further charges were permitted to my account, which was to be closed. XXXX additional charge was debited from my checking account following my giving both verbal and written notice of cancellation. I contacted XXXX XXXX -- and after XXXX hours on the phone with XXXX different upper-level supervisors -- I was assured that the problem was resolved, and received XXXX different emails from them the same evening indicating that I now had a XXXX and/or negative balance ( reflecting the amount of the charge in question, which had been debited after my cancellation ). I saved these emails ; and, of course, I still have them as evidence today ( see XXXX screenshots, attached ). When I began receiving letters from XXXX that I still owed them money, I did attempt to contact them on several occasions, but was unsuccessful because my account no longer existed. That is to say, they could not locate my account neither by my address nor by my phone number, nor by my name, because both had been terminated. I was without recourse. Now, I have received a letter from collections ( XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, MA ). I do not owe this debt. XXXX MUST cease all communications with me immediately, for I will pursue fervently all legal means available to me to seek action against them for harassment. Likewise, I will similarly seek legal action against any and all collections agencies, XXXX XXXX, and any and all other entities who attempt to seek and collect this debt falsely. Furthermore, should my credit in any way be adversely affected because of the erroneous reporting of this false debt to the credit agencies, I will likewise seek and pursue fervent legal action and hold all parties responsible for any and all legal fees I XXXX incur, including fees to restore any possible harm to my XXXX XXXX, which is currently XXXX as of the time of filing this report.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Credit Bureau information regarding my score is incorrect and not updated. I have submitted complaints and wrote letters regarding old accounts and addresses that should not be on my credit report due to the statue of limitation. Instead of correcting this, the organizing or perhaps the credit bureau have just put a more recent date to validated negative credit to stay on my account, but still should not lower my credit score by much, although it does. Moreover, will my payments on credit loans/cards are not updated thereby leaving my credit score low and credit usage high. Moreover, when I requested addresses to be removed I am refused adamantly and does not clearly give me any solutions to have it removed. I then search why and addresses associated with loans that are closed or banks that I no longer have access to to change or close to take an address off or the accounts are closed. I do not understand why this information remains on my credit report. Mainly, with an account that has surpassed the Statue of Limitation continues to remain on my report to keep my credit negative? I am asking this to be investigated. I did write in 2021 to CFPB for help and still the Credit Bureaus ignores and seemingly emphasis to keep my reports and will not update or remove negative information to increase my score. I have tried and am being accountable as best I can to do better and will do. However, if the Bureaus are allowed to ignore the law and keep individuals from having their credit better to do better. I asking for help, please. Also, after I have lifted my freeze from the Equifax as with the others I am finding out the freeze is not lifted, but will not give a reason why, just that if anyone wants to check my credit they have to call? Why will that happen, do I have the right to lift the freeze? And why are they requiring the potential loan providers to call when I lifted the freeze.
