Consumer complaint received 2020-01-28 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: HCFS Healthcare Financial Services of TeamHealth
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
For months this company has been reporting inaccurate, unverifiable, erroneous things on my credit report and I am sick of it!! 
This company is reporting NEGATIVE and INVALID information on my credit report and is severely affecting my credit score. The account information that this company is providing can not be proven because they do not have the original signed document saying that I owe them a debt which is A direct violation of my CIVIL RIGHTS according to the FCRA section 609. This company must remove their account from my credit reports immediately and permanently. A DELETION OF THIS ACCOUNT FROM MY CREDIT REPORT IS A FAIR RESOLUTION. Please be advised I have requested validation { not verification } of an item reported to you by the above original creditor/collection agency. I have received a response that does not indicate or prove : 1. I had this service.

2. What services I am being charged for.

3. What the cost of each service I am being charged for.

I will proceed with legal action as prescribed by law against the above-named original creditor/collection agency. Should this item not be deleted within the required time allowed by law I will seek ev
ery legal remedy available to me and file suit against the credit bureau responsible for reporting this violation. 

I urge you to take this extremely seriously as I have documented my case without error. I encourage a response from you expeditiously.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Cashing a check
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
Capital One 360 refuses to reissue a close out check for funds owed in the amount of {$4200.00}. Numerous past CFPB complaints were filed with information showing whereabouts at time check intercepted by third party, signature forged on it, cashed in my name without consent. Initial check had a stop payment placed on it prematurely, a second replacement check was sent via XXXX second day while I was in XXXX XXXX. I also provided copies of three checks issued, two of which show my correct signature, third one shows a forged signature which Capital One reps refuse to investigate despite numerous requests to do so. Since no check will be reissued, signatures not reviewed, I require an address to file a notice of small claim suit which I've also requested via past CFPB complaints, was not provided. Further, attorneys representing me in data breach also have information detailed above, will recover loss via litigation if not through small claims.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I have been disputing some items on my credit report consistently for almost six months now and I haven't received any results or response from Transunion throughout this process. I'm really trying to progress forward in my life and there are items on my report that hinder this. I haven't received any response for them and it's frustrating because I can't get a home or even get jobs because of some of these accounts. Something needs to be done. I'm really trying to move forward in life and these accounts can hinder my progress.

Company: American Profit Recovery, Inc., Marlborough, MA Branch
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I received mail from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in late XX/XX/XXXX that I owed an amount of {$370.00} for regular XXXX   visit for my son. I called them and they said that charges pertained to services performed on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX that was denied by my insurance, with the reason from insurance company stating that my son had another primary insurance. 

I contacted the insurance ( XXXX XXXX  ) after I received the mail in late XX/XX/XXXXand they explained that the claim is too old for them to process anymore. My complain pertains to the fact that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX did not make any contact with me till XXXX, and a timely follow-up with the insurance would have clarified and resulted in claim being paid. I tried calling XXXX XXXX  many times and left 3 voicemails that were never returned. 

I followed up with my insurance on XX/XX/XXXX to get more detail and they explained that my son had another insurance during that time period per their system, which was not correct since the other insurance verified to me that my son was not covered by them during the concerned time frame. 

Now XXXX XXXX has sent it to debt collection and debt collector refuses to consider the fact I did not receive timely follow-up from XXXX XXXX and it is negligence on part of XXXX XXXX  that resulted in claim not being paid and also that this could not be resolved prior to going to a debt collector. It appears that XXXX XXXX never had the intention to resolve this in good faith since they knew it was their fault. 

Do I have any recourse?

Company: Meridian Financial Services, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2019 I sent a debt validation letter to Meridian Financial Services requesting any contractual agreement between me and their agency and to this date no proof of validation has been submitted to me as demanded. I have never done any business with this agency nor do I wish to do so. The alleged debt is in the amount of {$4800.00} which is a fraudulent charge. By law pursuant to 15 U.S.C. section 1681s-2 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Meridian Financial Services has failed to validate this alleged debt. They have NO signed contract with my signature stating that I give them ANY permission to access my credit reports as pursuant to 15 U.S.C section 1681b. Meridian Financial Services is also in violation of 15 U.S.C section 1692c ( c ), after being notified to cease and desist all communication with us.

Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
On Wednesday XX/XX/XXXX I  received a notice from my XXXX XXXX account of a negative account from IC System inc. added. My credit reports and scores took a big impact from this account. I called IC System the next day and gave them my current address as I was asked for it to show proof of who I was. I was then notified the account was from XXXX. I contacted XXXX and was notified the account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX and closed on XX/XX/XXXX due to lack of payment. The address this account was attached to was an address I did not live at during the accounts life, I did live their prior but not during the account being open. I submitted paperwork and a police report to XXXX and was contacted by XXXX to complete a stolen identity packet. Today XX/XX/XXXX I received a collection notice from IC System inc. that was dated for XX/XX/XXXX, two days after I made contact with THEM. The notice said I have 30 days to file a dispute with them, only issue is, they already hit my account with this fraudulent account and are just now telling me I have the option to dispute the account. They are affecting my financial future and asking questions later. As far as I know, I am supposed to be given 90-180 days of my first notice before they attach this to my credit report. Why did it take them 13 months after the fraudulent account closed to make contact with me? I feel as though this company is responsible for this scam. I never received contact from them until I gave them my current address and this account didnt hit my report until 13 months after the account was closed. 90-180 days is 3-6 months, not 13 months. Something doesnt add up and IC System inc. is no help. I am not the only one who has had these issues with this company. They should be closed due to scamming many others.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2019 it showed up on my credit report, debt of XXXX. I contacted not only the credit collecting company but the originator of the debt and neither one of them had any information of me owning any money. So i said fix it, and they said they cant fix something they cant find, yet there it sits on my credit report. I disputed it and XXXX XXXX reported it as valid ... XXXX  .... Very frustrating. I would pay it .... Does anyone hear that ... They say there is nothing to pay.
