Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
A company by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX and/or Legal Services contacted me from ( XXXX ) XXXX and left a message to contact them at ( XXXX ) XXXX regarding a serious civil case. They left a case number to reference. 

I returned the call and they told me it was in regards to a lawsuit to be filed against me for a credit card with Citi Bank and they told me the last 4 digits of my social security. 

I until this week I have not had a card with Citi. I called Citi bank to discuss and they had nothing on record associated with my social security. 

I called the Legal Services back and asked the amount due. It was {$1000.00}. I told them I thought it was a scam and the lady said they were not going to pursue the issue. She said if it was a scam, they would be asking me for money. 

I did a search on the internet... .name and phone of that company and it appears they are known to be a scam. 

I have changed my passwords and reached out to the XXXX credit bureaus. I'm not sure what else to do.

Company: Conn's, Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I paid this account ( XXXX XXXX ) in full on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$3800.00}. I paid over the phone using a debit card. I did NOT accept a settlement offer and paid the entire account in full. After I made the payment I asked if they would send me an email confirmation that my account was paid in full. They told me that it would automatically be sent. By XXXX  or XXXX I still had not received an email showing that my account was paid in full although the money had been taken out of my account. I called again on XXXX and requested the letter. I did receive a letter from them on XXXX however, the letter reflects that I accepted a settlement offer and the account was paid in full. I then call them again on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. and spent a long time on the phone going over everything again. They agreed that my debt was paid in full and that it was NOT part of a settlement offer. Therefore, I asked them to send me a new letter reflecting the correct information as what I have is incorrect. It took several attempts to get someone that could hep me. I called customer service, collections and recovery departments. It was finally the recovery department ( XXXX ) that said that they would send me a corrected letter. I finally received a second letter today, however, it is an exact duplicate of what had already been sent with the exception of a different date! I'm so frustrated. I've spent so much time on the phone and they tell me that they will send the correct letter and I still don't have it. I want a letter that depicts what actually happened. My account was PAID in FULL with no settlement offer! It shouldn't be that hard.
