Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Original creditor/Seller : XXXX XXXX XXXX Debt Buyer : Portfolio Recovery Associates Balance {$430.00} I checked my credit report and noticed I have a collection from " Portfolio Recovery '' I did n't recognize. I never did business with this company, nor do I have a contractual obligation to pay them. I disputed the debt with all 3 credit bureaus and the debt came back validated. Portfolio sent me a letter in the with with an online statement/screen shot of a bill from 2014 from XXXX XXXX saying this validates the debt and the debt was charged off. I asked Portfolio Recovery in 3 different letters for them to send me a copy of the original contract with my signature, proof that they legally own the debt, assignment of purchase from the original creditor and full chain of assignment. They continued to ignore my request and keep sending the same screen shot bill. With all this fraud, scammers and computer savvy hacks out here, anybody can generate fake documents. I 've sent letters in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and they continue to send the same screenshot bill/statement. 

Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
Unauthorized, to best of belief and knowledge, with no real reason ( s ), Chase Bank on XXXX XXXX in XXXX, CA performed account balance Inquiries from XXXX or vice versa, which cost the customer money, causing domino spinoff effects from service charge fees. ( Ex. 
if there are scheduled online bill payments, that neither bank may know about, as this is not evident in the balance inquiry, what may be processing, the affixing of fees for the inquiries can start a fee progression. The balance inquiry is without consent, without knowledge, costing a service charge for each inquiry. It can then domino into {$35.00} service fees as the inquiry fees cause account to dip.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
Experian has been reporting a Bankruptcy on my Social Security number for over 7 years. 
I have sent several letters asking to verify with a signature and asking for the procedure and the only answer I get is they claim it was validated. When I ask who validated it, they claim the court did. 

I have a letter from Bankruptcy Court in XXXX, MS where she said that they do not work with the Credit Bureaus and have not validated anything. They do not provide information to the Credit Bureaus nor any third parties. 

This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. They are using an unnamed 3rd party who must have a glitch because it does not show up in XXXX XXXX or XXXX. I will provide proof from the Experian credit report I bought. 

I will provide the 3 letters I sent along with the letter from the Bankruptcy Court and a credit freeze from XXXX who froze my account to keep there from being any further misreporting.

Company: SHAPESHIFT AG

Complaint narrative:
I had {$200.00} that I wanted to invest into Ripple ( XRP ) with. I usually use ShapeShift. This company is supposed to be a very reputable and trustworthy cryptocurrency exchange. However, I recently noticed that they have been keeping peoples money for profit. This is a disgusting activity to take part in especially when you are running a service where trust is of utmost importance. I have yet to receive my XRP and I believe they are holding my money as a way to make them some extra cash. I am not ok with this and I demand that something is done. They do not deserve customers or business if this is the kind of operation they want to be running.

Company: CL Holdings LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Two years ago I went to a XXXX XXXX XXXX in  XXXX XXXX, CA. The associate asked if I would like to open a XXXX Debit Card. I said no, however they explained, this is NOT a credit card and is in no way tied to your credit. I agreed to open the card, which was simply linked to my checking account like a debit card. I filled out the information and gave it to the cashier/associate. The associate entered the information, then rang out the transaction. The transaction went through and I left the store with approximately {$50.00} in merchandise. I am now receiving notice from XXXX XXXX that I am in collections. I have called them and they said that the transaction did n't go through and now they have put a collection on my credit. This error occurred due to some system error with XXXX and I never received notice that I owed them anything. They will not remove the collection even if I pay them. My credit score has gone from the high 700 's to below 700. This all over {$50.00} on an account that I was told is not a credit account and was not tied to my credit whatsoever. Also the phone number they read back to me was wrong by one digit, they said they had called to try and collect the debt over the phone. I would have been able to pay this had the associate not entered my phone number in incorrectly as well.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Trans Union keeps reporting a late payment on my credit report. I dispute it and it goes away. Then it reappears on my credit checks. I believe Trans Union is intentionally doing this in order to skirt the law and have me pay for another credit report after the one free one allowed per 12 months by law.. Trans Union also reports a " hard hit '' on my credit report whenever they " fix '' my complaint making it appear as I am applying for credit from another company.

Company: Messerli & Kramer P.A.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I have a case with Messerli and Kramer. According to the online court record, they tried to send me letter/correspondence on XX/XX/XXXX. I did receive information that they wanted to communicate with me electronically. However, I could not access their request due to a name change. The letter specifically stated that if I did not accept the electronic request, they would continue to communicate with me via mail. I could not and did not accept the electronic request. I did not receive any further communication from this company. Last week I got notification from my employer that they were required to begin withholding my wages. I had to go on to the WI Court website to locate the response form, as my wages are exempt from garnishment. I was not notified by the creditor of the garnishment or given the proper time frame or documentation by them to file my response. WI state law requires that they notify both me AND the employer. They only notified the employer. They also updated my address on XX/XX/XXXX, per the WI court reporting website, to an address I have not lived at until XX/XX/XXXX, which is stopping me from getting proper mailed documents, if any were sent, which according to the court file, none were. I did call in XX/XX/XXXX and left them a message in reference to stopping communications with me at work. After that, it feels that their debt collection practices became almost retaliatory in nature.
