Product: Debt collection — Telecommunications debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I started getting phone calls about this debt in summer of XXXX This was for an account that I had to pay off in order to cancel my internet services through them and get service from a new provider. It was required that I paid it off at the time of cancellation. When I started getting these calls from the debt collector, I contacted XXXX XXXX directly and was told they no longer had any information about my account in their system and that I would have to go through the debt collection agency. I requested written documentation of the debt from this debt collection agency multiple times and nothing was ever mailed or emailed to me regarding the debt. In possibly XXXX of XXXX this debt was transferred to another debt collection agency ( I believe it's transworld collections ). I started getting calls from them, requested written documentation again of whatever the charges were ( around {$460.00} ) and after a month of not receiving any additional info from anyone, I filed a dispute on my credit report for this charge. I called Transworld XXXX weeks ago and was told that because it's being disputed, they are still " on hold '' with this account and can not provide me any information until the dispute is figured out. I STILL have not received anything in writing about what they claim I owe or why I would owe it. I didn't hear about this debt from XXXX XXXX, ever. The first I heard about it was XXXX years after I closed my account with them. I never got anything in the mail, I never got a phone call, and I successfully cancelled my service with them and got it through someone else with NO COMMUNICATION ABOUT AN OUTSTANDING DEBT. This is knocking my credit down XXXX points and it's been XXXX months since I disputed with absolutely no resolution and STILL not written communication pertaining to the debt.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is in response to an initial CFPB complaint XXXX regarding sold accounts being continuously reported by COMENITY BANK XXXX COMENITY BANK stated that they have verified that they are lawfully and accurately reporting the accounts that they have sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit reports and refused to remove the accounts. I believe this is both false and damaging to my credit report and reputation. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) the information must be accurate and up to date. The FCRA emphasizes fairness and accuracy of credit reporting under section 605 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). It is not fair nor is it accurate to report an account when the account no longer belongs to you. This would make the reporting of the account inaccurate and abusive. A violation of 15 USC 1692s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ). This a clear tactic to keep me from challenging the debt with the debt collector during the debt validation process because you are still reporting the account on my credit report. This behavior is deceitful and there are in fact penalties for such behavior. This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Lastly, I did not receive a letter from you in the mail responding to my previous attempt to dispute. Please provide the certified tracking number and receipt with my name and or signature on it as proof of such communication. My dispute letters were delivered XX/XX/2024. It has been over a month, and the initial complaint through the CFPB per the complaint number referenced was our first time communicating. I did not receive any disclosure, updates, results, or any response whatsoever regarding the investigation you allegedly performed when I mailed off letter to dispute the accounts on XX/XX/2024. Here is the certified tracking number showing proof that I did dispute the accounts : # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Please provide me the information of how you verified these accounts and that you are reporting this account accurately in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Creditors typically remove accounts they have sold to collections otherwise it would be out of compliance for inaccurate reporting. Reporting false information deliberately is also an act of fraud 18 USC 1001.
