Complaint narrative:
I am writing to alert the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau of a collections company that is violating my rights and not using proper communication methods when showing up on my credit report. I need the CFPB office to please look into my case. This MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT account with a balance of {$200.00} has just popped up on my credit report without ever communicating with me. There was no written letter to me or calls to me so I can explain that they have the wrong person. They have recently just popped up on my credit report and I am not familiar with how they got my information or how they have my social security number. I do not owe this company and I Right now I am getting an alert on my credit karma and credit monitoring service saying my credit score has dropped tremendously. I can furnish the images of this alert showing the collections company. They are hurting me financially and this is a really big issue. To my understanding they must be compliant with laws and regulations that say they must write the consumer within days of the first communication. They are using my credit to communicate with me yet they NEVER wrote me before. If they don't write me then how could send me a right to dispute or explain my rights? Please review the original paperwork for this account. I request they send me a copy of this information to my address. I also request the original contract signed showing my signature long with all other pages of the original agreement. I am suffering damages because of this error. I have been a victim of ID theft before and I monitor my financial affairs very closely. To me this seems like an instance of debt parking that I read about on the FTC website. The Federal Trade Commission has taken action against debt collection companies that allegedly placed bogus or highly questionable debts onto consumers credit reports to coerce them to pay the debts. They label this as DEBT PARKING. The Federal Trade Commission recently took action against a XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and its owners, alleging that they collected more than {$24.00} XXXX from consumers, largely by placing bogus or highly questionable debts on their credit reports. The defendants used this illegal debt parking to coerce people to pay debts they didnt owe or didnt recognize, XXXX XXXX XXXX director of the F.T.C.s bureau of consumer protection , said in prepared remarks about the agencys settlement with the company, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I DO NOT HAVE ANY BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH THIS COMPANY and I am concerned they have unethicality acquired my information and they are acting unethically with their debt collections. There is a process in law that protects consumers from these illegal actions. This account is lowering my credit score and if I am declined for anything, I will seek financial remedy by talking to a fdcpa lawyer.

Complaint narrative:
I have been disputing an account with XXXX since XX/XX/2022. I had an open account with them and paid my balance in Full in XXXX of XXXX. A few days later XXXX closed the account and then marked the account as a charge off and submitted it to a collection agency along with the payment I made.

XXXX has now marked the account as a charge off as of XX/XX/2022 after I made a complaint to the XXXX. I feel they are purposely reporting false information causing my credit score to decline. 

The credit Bureaus are also not providing documentation of their investigation. I have requested an investigation from XXXX, Equifax and XXXX. None of the companies named have provided a detailed report of the investigation.

Company: ARC Management Group, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I was sent a letter from ARC management group XXXX dated XX/XX/22 stating they were contacting to settle. I called and explained I was sent the letter on XX/XX/22 for a settlement, which is about XXXX weeks ago. The XXXX  who answered, XXXX, stated that they never sent the letter. I have the letter in hand, and disagreed that they didn't send me a settlement offer. She then stated that was last month 's offer and they wouldn't honor it. I asked if that was some sort of scam, sending out settlement offers and then pretending they didn't exist or were expired. She then stated they were trying to help me, and if I didn't pay it would go on my credit report and then hung up on me. I attempted XXXX more times to work with XXXX, each time she would hang up on me. She stated I was being rude multiple times, however it was more her being rude to me. I was merely stating that they had sent me the letter and I felt that not honoring it was deceptive. She obviously didn't like that. In the end I contacted XXXX XXXX 's hospital and settled the debt with them, because ARC did not seem trustworthy at all.
