Company: Amsher Collection Services, Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, 2012 when I moved to my current apartment, I contracted with XXXX to provide me TV and internet service. When the tech came to my apartment to install the dish, he told me they could not provide service because they could not see their satellite. I understood and contracted with my local cable company to provide service. I received a bill from XXXX shortly after this and I called them to explain the situation and they said they would cancel the bill. I never received a bill XXXX ( the internet provider ) so I assumed that their service was also cancelled. About six months later I got a phone call from a collection agency telling me that I owed XXXX {$440.00} and they were attempting to collect it. I explained to them that I did not owe these charges and that I never received a bill XXXX. I have not to this day ever received a bill from XXXX and that if I had I would have dealt with the issue at the time and it never would have gotten to this stage. The collection agency has placed a collections item on my otherwise impeccable credit report and I would like to have it removed.

Complaint narrative:
Yesterday I received a call from XXXX at XXXX stating that my name was part of a complaint filed and I would be getting served. I needed to make available someone willing to sign some documents on my behalf. She said she was with a law firm.

I told her I paid this debt last year/early this year. She stated I needed the letter. I told her to give me some time to pull my bank statements but that I never received the letter. 
I pulled up my records ( written and bank ) and saw where I paid {$100.00} every 2 weeks to XXXX XXXX XXXX. With the final payment of {$110.00} being paid on XXXX XXXX, 2015. I spoke to XXXX about this transaction. The number on my statement is XXXX.

Company: CHECK INTO CASH INC.
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
Have been a customer at Check into Cash in XXXX, IA for past four years, for which my ongoing business cost me over XXXX in fees. Defaulted on a payday loan for {$250.00} on XXXX XXXX, 2015. Emailed company to request payment resolution and also NOT to contact references. 

Did not resolve account for months of XXXX or XXXX, promised to pay {$250.00} by money order mailed to location. But hardships kept me from making payment including mail returned to sender delaying money order and closing of checking account. 

On Friday, XXXX XXXX, I finally mailed a payment of {$50.00} with a request to hold a payment arrangement based on the initial payment. Almost two weeks later, the location has not honored the money order, nor have they offered any acknowledgement of receipt of payment by phone or postal mail. Instead, contacts were made to my references AGAINST my written request. This is a direct violation of laws protecting consumers from unfair debt practices. 

Requesting this lender immediately stop contact of any third party or employer listed, and also no contact by telephone. Instead, include all correspondence through paper mail or email, preferably to resolve payment at different business level. 

Payday lenders such as Check into Cash are great financial institutions with a competitive product that many hard working Americans take advantage of. If hard times happen, a dedicated customer should not be antagonized or patronized for amount due, and all efforts should be made to work with customer on resolving debt. This is a situation where a payment for XXXX of the balance has been presented but not honored, with a direct violation of consumer 's written requests. 

Resolutions with lender have resulted in nil. I am unsure how to make payment of remaining funds until original payment is applied, and unwilling to work with local storefront location who has offered poor service and no regard for my direct rights.

The American Student Services has taken ownership of this account when it was with another other holders XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have advised them of this. Most recently this agency is profiling me at this date of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX when this account is not assigned to them. My student loans are currently assigned to XXXX.

I do not have an account with them.. This appears to be racially motivated due to my previous complaints and previous conversations with older woman at American Student Services..

On reviewing a recent copy of my credit report, I noticed a collection account ( XXXX ) listed for Fair Collections & Outsourcing. Evidently, the account was sent to FCO in XX/XX/XXXX. As I had never received any correspondence from FCO or the Original Credit regarding this account, this account may not even belong to me. 
As I am cleaning up my credit report and am unsure if this account is mine, I emailed FCO on XX/XX/XXXX regarding this account. Upon receiving my email, they simply sent me a letter ( which uses a name I have not used in approximately XXXX years ) with a balance owed, a date to pay by, and an indication they would mark the account as " settled. '' This is the first communication I received regarding this account and it only came after I contacted them. Also, in their letter, they failed to indicate a right to dispute.

I took a loan from " Dash of Cash '' for {$700.00}. The monies were credited to my bank account on XX/XX/2016. 
To date, I have paid a total of {$1700.00} and per the Dash of Cash website I have an outstanding balance of {$570.00}, which means out of {$1700.00}, only {$120.00} has been applied to the principal amount. 
I have since realized that online/payday/tribal loans are illegal in the State of PA where I reside. And, any lender can not charge more than XXXX % interest. 
On this loan, that would be the Principal : {$700.00} plus XXXX % interest : {$42.00}. 
Based on XXXX law, I have overpaid by {$1000.00}.
