Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Midland Credit Management has informed me of their intent to collect {$3500.00} for a past debt. I have requested both the contract I previously signed with the company and a comprehensive transaction history, but unfortunately, they have not provided this information. 

Moreover, I am concerned by their consistent reporting of varying amounts for the same account on my credit report. This continuous activity suggests an indefinite presence of the account on my report. 

Today, XX/XX/2023, when I inquired about the fluctuating amounts, Midland Credit Management stated that they were not responsible for these changes. 
Consequently, I can only conclude that this account may be fraudulent, and I am formally requesting its removal from my credit report.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
While paying my Federal Unsub loan balance using Mohela 's " Payoff Calculator '' I submitted the full calculated payment amount to completely pay off and discharge the loan principal and interest amounts. Upon submitting the payment I was notified that I would receive confirmation by mail that the loan was fully paid off. Not only have I not received that notice but now there is {$0.00} of outstanding principal on my account when I checked after my payment went through. It is only {$0.00} but the idea of keeping the loan active after I was told it was paid off is ridiculous, If I had never checked back I may have never closed that loan that I had paid over {$42000.00} on.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I needed to put a freeze on my credit account because apparently it got leaked from multiple sources. EXPERIAN forced me to create an account in order to place a security freeze. Ever since, they have been spamming me. Their emails beg me to sign up for more monitoring or other bogus services they offer. 

For example, they spam me constantly telling me that I have a new credit alert to review. But all the credit alerts are just that my credit card balance changed. It changes every time I swipe! It changes every couple of weeks when I make payments. It changes when the balance goes up or the balance goes down. They are using this as an excuse to send spam, and they won't let me opt out. 

Another example, they send " reminders '' for me to check my credit. But the reminders are full of marketing for " experian boost '' and other bogus products. 

XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX It says they were penalized but they are still spamming me! I never asked to be a " customer '' of this company, I just needed to freeze my account. 

I contacted your customer support and they just gave me the runaround, insisting that the only way to stop the spam was for me to cancel the account. But then you'll go ahead and start sharing my personal information again ( because the freeze doesn't work unless I have an account ).

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This is probably again the same issue that Ive noticed from Truist bank. That they do not give notification to their clients or customers about their account. I had a check given to me by XXXX XXXX Superior Court for a court case that I won that I cash. Through mobile deposit. There is no bank within my state for Truist is an XXXX XXXX Bank I am from the XXXX XXXX. I deposited the check not seeing the expiration date - four days after I saw that the check was returned. I called Truist and I reached out through social media and asked them if I could get a replica check since it was from the XXXX XXXX Superior Court. And that the check would be replaced since its in my name and from the court. They held my other accounts and told me to get the replacement check as fast as possible little did I know that they already decided to close my account and send the remainder balance to collections. They never solved anything for the claims that were closed or denied by mean not receiving notification and answering back to the claims and then I had contacted executive offices for XXXX XXXX superior court to contact truest bank for the timeframe of the check being issued, and not to hold me liable for lateness. I only have one letter from Truist about the check returned and the remainder balance. Ive reached out to Truist several times. Apparently from other complaints this happens quite often with them. Im now filing with the FDIC
