Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: CMRE Financial Services, Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
CMRE Financial Services was sent an account by mistake after the debt was paid in full. I paid XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>, after receiving a 30 day notice dated XX/XX/XXXX. The account was then wrongfully sent to CRME for collection AFTER payment was received and BEFORE 30 days.

CRME started collection calls in early XXXX, before i was aware the account was sent to collections, so I assumed the calls were a scam. I received notice from CMRE on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX. I called the following day, Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX and requested information on how to dispute the debt. I was given an email address and told to send proof of payment such as a bank statement showing the payment. I did this on Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX. 

No one ever responded to the email, and I received multiple phone calls per week after sending proof of payment. I sent a follow up email on Sunday, XX/XX/XXXX asking the calls to stop, again, no response, but more phone calls. 

On Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX, I answered the call from CRME to find out why they were continuing trying to collect, and was told that my proof of payment was not sufficient because my bank statement I had attached, did not have XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I sent a follow up email with further proof of payment- multiple bank statements with the same office listed on the statements as well as statements from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX the payments. 

Again, no response to my email, but the calls continued. 

I called XXXX XXXX XXXX  to ask what could be done to get the collection calls to stop. They had no reason as to why the account was sent to collections in the first place, but they would provide me with a paid in full receipt to provide to CRME. I waited for the receipt to arrive in the mail. It finally arrived to me on XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent the paid in full receipt to CRME. Again, no response from them. Calls still continued. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received notice that my dispute was denied, and they would continue to attempt to collect. I am at my wits end here, and don't know what else I can do to fix this. 

I will attach all correspondence.

Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Transunion regarding their handling of my credit report dispute. My name is XXXX XXXX, and I have been experiencing difficulties with XXXX in resolving inaccuracies on my credit report. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a dispute to Transunion concerning several fraudulent items on my credit report. However, I received a response from XXXX stating that they were unable to locate a credit file in their database with the identification information I provided.

The documents requested by Transunion were : Identification : A copy of my Social Security XXXX. 
Current Address : A copy of my Driver 's License. 
I have enclosed these documents with my correspondence to Transunion but have not received a satisfactory resolution to my dispute. The lack of response and resolution from XXXX has caused me significant inconvenience and stress, as the fraudulent items on my credit report continue to affect my financial standing and creditworthiness. 

I kindly request that the CFPB intervene in this matter to ensure that Transunion properly processes my dispute and corrects the inaccuracies on my credit report in a timely manner. I am seeking a prompt and fair resolution to this issue. 

XXXX : Account number : XXXX, This accounts name and number are questionable. I demand this to be removed.

Please see attached file for these items I am complaining.
