Consumer complaint received 2023-10-05 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Indicated you were committing crime by not paying debt
Company: Vengroff Williams, Inc
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I was told by this firm VENGROFF WILLIAMS IN XXXX, FL that THEY had my license suspended because of an accident my son had. I was no longer in possession of the vehicle due to divorce, and was the sole responsibility of my ex-husband, who was not carrying insurance on the vehicle at the time. 

I was told by XXXX XXXX, Collection Representative of XXXX XXXX in XXXX, FL that they were the ones that suspended my license and if I fill out their " Conditional Release form '' and make a down payment on the money owed on the claim, that they would send me that form so that I can get my license reinstated. I diligently signed the conditional release form and sent everything they asked right back to them. They sent me back a sideways, half scanned " acceptance '' form that was not submitted in its entirety. My state DMV didn't accept that form. I asked for the form to be sent over in its entirety, and she sent me a different form, filled out digitally with not enough information on it, that the DMV STILL didn't accept. When I sent XXXX XXXX an email asking for the original half scanned form to please be sent in its entirety sot that I may go to the DMV yet again to give it to them. She called me up extremely rude and insisted that I sent her the form that way, and started yelling at me. Which is a complete lie, I have all the proof of how I sent over the form and how it was sent to me. After all of this, I came to find out by my DMV that this organization lied to me when they said that the form would be what I need to get my license out of suspension. The DMV pretty much stated that this company lied to me into getting me to sign this form, all I needed to do was to pay the DMV the reinstatement fee directly. They tricked me into signing a form of an accident that was totally not my responsibility. I just need to pay my fees directly with the South Carolina DMV to get my license reinstated. I tried calling the customer service number to speak to a supervisor and started getting the run around. These people practice in a very dishonest fashion.

Company: Amsher Collection Services, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I checked my credit report on XXXX XXXX as I do annually just to make sure information on there is correct. This company known as Charter Communications LLC utilized Amsher debt collectors to try and collect an unpaid amount from me which they reported to the credit bureau impacting my credit score. This company not only accepted faulty information from an unknown individual to administer services to them, but failed to ensure that these individuals are who they say they are. The company admitted that the individuals provided a " ghost '' number, and had not been living at the residence long. All they had to provide was my name and social security number to obtain services from their company. This is cruel and greedy and the company should take more steps other than simply collecting a social security to give services to someone. The individual had been receiving services from XXXX of XXXX all the way until XXXX of XXXX. When I called Charter communications to ask for information about who they are, what services they provide, and why my name is attached to services all the way across the country the individual who I spoke with XXXX XXXX was very rude and apprehensive. I asked her clearly what their company provides, and where they are located and she gave me nothing but sarcastic indefinitive responses like I was the one bothering her. She refused to provide a badge number as well, she told me I'd have to speak to the collection agency 's attorney for help. When I called the collection agency who was very helpful, they transferred me over to Charter Communications fraud department and the individual I spoke with helped to do the dispute and investigation over the phone before closing the case.
