Consumer complaint received 2025-05-27 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Telecommunications debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Credit Control, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I ordered a XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX from XXXX ( Order # XXXX ). I decided to return the device and went to my local XXXX store. A store employee accepted the phone from me in person and told me they would handle the return directly. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a return label email from XXXX, but it was addressed to someone named XXXX, and my account name had been changed. I never authorized this change, and it clearly occurred during the in-store processing of my return. 

Despite returning the phone within XXXX stated XXXX return window, they claimed they couldnt locate the device. When they finally did, they stated it was received too late to qualify for a return despite the delay being entirely Verizons fault. They refused to credit my account for the XXXX XXXXXXXX and demanded payment instead. 

XXXX charged me {$690.00} due immediately and {$1400.00} due by XX/XX/XXXX, for the phone they mishandled even though I had already returned it to their employee in good faith. 

This created a domino effect. I was unable to pay my bill for a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which I had ordered shortly after, under a trade-in promotion. Because of the inflated balance from the XXXX XXXXXXXX return error, XXXX voided the XXXX trade-in discount and charged me full price for that phone as well. This pushed my total XXXX balance to {$2100.00}. 

I received a refund only for accessories ( a case and screen protector ) but never for the XXXX XXXXXXXX device itself. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a collections notice from Credit Control LLC regarding the XXXX balance. As of XX/XX/XXXX, the debt still appears on my credit report both as : A closed XXXX account with a {$2100.00} balance An active collection entry I acted promptly, responsibly, and returned the phone in-store with confirmation from a XXXX employee XXXX I was penalized with an account name change, denied a credit I was entitled to, and billed full price for XXXX devices. Im requesting a full investigation and removal of both the XXXX tradeline and the associated collection, as this balance resulted entirely from XXXX internal errors not from any missed payments or wrongdoing on my part.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!
