Consumer complaint received 2018-02-01 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: The CBE Group, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I was notified by a collection agency, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, in writing, that I owe XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX due to them closing my account. Once I received the notification in the mail on XX/XX/XXXX, I called to make arrangements to pay the debt. I spoke with XXXX XXXX and there was an agreement regarding a settlement amount of {$580.00}. There were 3 payments made and posted to my account in the amount of {$190.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from XXXX advising the debt had been resolved for less than the full balance. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email advising I stilled owed XXXX XXXX XXXX another {$240.00} from another collection agency, The CBE Group. The next day, I wrote to The CBE Group and disputed the validity of the debt. I also called The CBE Group on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX and informed him I did not owe the debt any longer because it was settled with XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX began to read the mini - miranda to me on a settled account which violated debt collection practices. After he read the mini - miranda, I requested to speak to a supervisor. I then spoke to XXXX and explained the debt was settled. She again read the mini - miranda and stated XXXX XXXX XXXX still shows the debt is still owed and I will need to contact XXXX XXXX because it was there responsibility to inform XXXX XXXX XXXX of the settlement. I then called XXXX XXXX on the same day and spoke to XXXX who stated the account was reported to XXXX XXXX XXXX as settled and she will be sending the report to XXXX XXXX XXXX again about the status of the account. On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I received letters in the mail from The CBE Group again stating I still owe! I am so frustrated with this process. I did my part by making my payments on time to settle the debt and I am still being harassed by XXXX XXXX XXXX and The CBE Group to pay the remaining balance in full.

Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I closed my account with XXXX and received my final bill from bill period XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX for {$650.00}. I didn't pay because that amount didn't make sense. It turns out that they were charging me for unreturned equipment. XXXX sends an auto email when they receive your equipment and I had received one so I forwarded them that email. After that, I received another bill from XXXX which they adjusted the amount to {$100.00}. I paid that bill back in XX/XX/XXXX. Until this day, I am still receiving collection letters. The first one was for {$460.00} and the 4 or 5 letters after that was for {$69.00}.

Complaint narrative:
RE : USAA Savings Bank I entered an automatic payment of {$230.00}, and stipulated the posting date as XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, the amount was withdrawn from my bank. 

However, funds were not available on my prepaid XXXX. 

On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with a USAA CSR, ( 40 minutes, 54 seconds ). 

I was told that my " payment history '', " credit history '', " source of funds '', and " # of payments '' were factors related to the delay, and that a 10-day hold had been placed on my account. Notification of the " defender hold '' was not received via the app, email, phone, text, or USPS. Of note : ALL of my prior payments were made prior to the due date, I hadn't made any attempt to exceed the prepaid limit of my card, ( {$250.00} ), the account used for the payment had remained consistent, and prior payments were posted upon receipt. 

I was dissatisfied with this explanation, and XXXX, ( XXXX ), refused to provide his employee id #. He further suggested that the " payment was large, compared to my credit limit ''. 

A subsequent CSR educated me about the Credit Card Act of 2009 and " money laundering ''. 

The hold caused significant financial financial distress, in that I was attempting to pay the entire balance due, had no access to the funds in my checking account OR XXXX for 10 days. I had no access to other funds.
