Consumer complaint received 2022-08-24 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Mandarich Law Group, LLP
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I begin the debt snowball technique to repay a handful past due creditors, because I overextended myself financially. XXXX XXXX  is one of nine creditors that I have personally committed to repaying. XXXX XXXX and another creditor are the last two credit cards left. XXXX XXXX received payments before I was served a summons by Mandarich Law Group. I was surprised to receive a lawsuit in the mail. 

I rendered payments to XXXX XXXX  to satisfy my debt. In the midst of a series of payments to XXXX XXXX. Mandarich Law Group, a debt collector, served lawsuit paperwork on or about XX/XX/XXXX for {$7600.00}. In a complaint filed with CFBP on XX/XX/XXXX Mandarich Law Group acknowledged that I sent payments for the debt. I mailed a letter to Mandarich Law Group dated XX/XX/XXXX disputing the debt with them and asked them to refrain from contacting me. In response to my letter to Mandarich Law Group- a debt collector, XXXX XXXX mails a letter confirming the amount owed as {$7400.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nevertheless, Mandarich Law Group, a debt collector, has continued to pursue the lawsuit for the misrepresented amount of {$7600.00} after I disputed the debt in a timely manner and has made no attempts to update the misrepresentation with the court. My attorney has also informed Mandarich Law Group, a debt collector, of the misrepresented amount. Each time Mandarich Law Group, a debt collector, appeared in court, I informed the judge that I was being harassed by unfair debt collection practices. In court I acknowledged to the judge that I owe XXXX XXXX and intend to pay, however ; the amount of {$7600.00} is a misrepresentation of the amount owed. If Mandarich Law Group, a debt collector, is representing XXXX XXXX, it is their responsibility to validate the debt with the dates and amounts of payments according to the law. 

This situation has caused a tremendous amount of stress and sleepless night. Additionally, this could possibly jeopardize my ability to become a XXXX XXXX XXXX. The XXXX XXXX disapproves of bankruptcies which I am considering yet have never filed for bankruptcy. This is not an oversight or a clerical error. It is blatant alleged harassment. 

I request {$480000.00} in damages of {$1000.00} for each occurrence of Mandarich Law Group, a debt collector violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act by filing a lawsuit, serving a summons, failing to update the misrepresented lawsuit or dismissing the misrepresented lawsuit to the court. 

The dates and actions are as follows : Notice Filed ( 1 day ) XX/XX/XXXX Summons Filed ( 1 day ) XX/XX/XXXX Summons Service ( 1 day ) XX/XX/XXXX Court Appearance ( 3 days ) - XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX Failure to Correct Misrepresentation ( 475 days ) XX/XX/XXXX thru XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
TD Bank erroneously reversed provisional credits of over {$1200.00} for charges I disputed against the merchant XXXX, resulting in my account becoming negative. TD Bank then rejected all of my attempted transactions, leaving me without basic necessities like toilet paper because TD Bank can not read, and reading is fundamental in order to resolve banking problems. 

TD Bank incorrectly asserted that I did not send them the requested information by the specified deadline in order to maintain my provisional credit, because I sent it via email to them by the deadline and see the attached proof. Before I emailed it, I went into their XXXX branch who could not fax the information to their claims dept because the fax was not working. I attempted to resolve this with TD Bank multiple times. I want TD Bank fined. I want my money back plus interest according to the usury rate. TD Bank has also locked my account and will not provide me with any information over the phone or over the internet because they insist that they must " send me a text message '' despite my informing them that I lost my phone weeks ago. They are complete XXXX. Following resolution of this matter, I want my account closed with TD Bank as I will never bank with them again because reading is fundamental folks.

Complaint narrative:
The company never contacted me about Debt Collection and reported to the credit bureau that it was in collections. The original creditor is XXXX XXXX informed me and my fiance that there was no debt when we cancelled the contract, a contract that we entered into because we were promised things by the manager at the time which was rescinded a week later by the new manager. The original company that was hired to collect the debt said they closed their files on the case as there was no debt. See attached file. 

Never once did XXXX reach out to me to discuss this, which is why I am filing this complaint.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Portfolio Recovery violated federal consumer protection laws meant to protect me in two ways : First, by demanding payment of a debt via credit reporting that Portfolio Recovery couldnt prove was valid ; and by failing to verify the accuracy of the information they reported to credit reporting agencies. I have never owed a debt to the company they are alleging ; moreover, by inserting a collection item on my credit report, they are attempting to collect a debt - a debt that they have not sent a dunning letter for. The Massachusetts AG, along with countless law firms, have brought successful legal actions against Portfolio Recovery for attempting to collect debts not owed and various misrepresentations, which is what is happening to me. I have already filed a complaint with the Indiana AG and am researching legal remedies for Portfolio Recovery 's unwarranted attack on my credit, my character and for violations of FDCPA and FCRA.
