Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
I received a notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, KS XXXX stating that they were trying to garnish me. I tried several times to contact and finally got a call back. This is in regards to a credit card debt from nearly seven years ago. They would not provide really any information other than they would do an internal investigation and let me know. I currently do not have any marks on my credit report to reflect anything relating to this. I regularly monitor my reports and have not had anything on this as far back as I can remember. I had thought that I had paid it but due to the age I am having trouble coming up with any records. I tried to contact the debtor directly but they would not talk to me because there was a attorney involved. If I owe it, I'll pay it but they couldn't/would n't offer me any proof other than " because we say so ''. I don't understand how something can simply pop up out of nowhere and I can be expected to blindly pay it. They are talking about garnishing a bank account that has been closed for several years. I have worked hard to repair my credit and don't want something to damage that for no apparent cause other than a greedy law firm trying to prey on the unsuspecting and vulnerable. Is this even legal? Are there no statutes of limitation? Please advise. Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act XXXX XXXX  Bankruptcy case number XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy case number XXXX all of these companies have violated my rights.

These reporting agencies have continued to defame my character, as well as with their continued identity theft since I have never given written authorizations to share any of my personal information, including bankruptcy to any third party entities. This reporting has caused grave harm not only to my character, by causing humiliation, XXXX, health issues, problems in my XXXX, and paying higher interest rates for insurance, etc. According to to the XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy Court of New York they do not report bankruptcies to any consumer reporting agencies and the information is only available in XXXX. So these unscrupulous consumer reporting agencies go digging for consumers private information just to sell for a profit off of our mis fortunes and hardships, just to keep us a XXXX  to subprime higher interest lending tactics. When i call to have something resolved they act like they cant verify me, and YET they see the information on their end, and they continue to send documents to my home address. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE XXXX XXXX report submitted on XX/XX/23 case number XXXX DOES NOT HAVE A BANKUPTCY REPORTING. This company has admitted that they found this information on public records and i DID NOT give them permission to submit this information to the credit bureaus. They went digging through public records and allowing Transunion to add this to my credit report.
