Company: Atlanticus Services Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 at XXXX EST, I spoke with an agent in the collections department at Fortiva Collections. They verified what the last payment date was and agreed to do a settlement for deletion. The collection representative stated that I had until XX/XX/2023 to pay the settlement amount and if paid by that date the account would be marked as 'Paid In Full '. The Fortiva collection agent then informed me to mail the settlement payment amount of {$2000.00} to the following address ; 'Fortiva Collections Department , XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX TX XXXX. The Fortiva Collection agent that I had to pay the settlement amount of {$2000.00} by no later than XX/XX/XXXX. 
They also agreed to remove the late fees that were reflecting in the amount of {$120.00} The check was mailed to Fortiva Collections Department and placed into their bank account on XX/XX/2023 ( See Enhanced Copy of Cancelled Check Attached ). At this time Fortiva by cashing the check has agreed to the following which is clearly written on the back of the check they cashed and it clearly states : ( Quote ) " By negotiating this check, the creditor herein agrees that this payment represents paid in full, paid as agreed and further agree to remove this account XXXX from my credit report. '' ( End of Quote ) ( See Enhanced Copy of Cancelled Check Attached ). 

After the settlement amount was, Fortiva has continued to ruin my personal credit by reporting the account as Past Due, Late Payments when in fact they agreed to settle the account for the amount paid which is {$2000.00}. At this time, they continue to harass and phone me for payments and causing my credit scores to continue to be low due to their inaccurate reporting of this account which should be showing as 'Paid In Full '' and 'Removed from my credit profile ''.

Complaint narrative:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.
