Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Midwest Recovery Systems
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I just checked my credit report and I have a derogatory collections mark from this company. Problem is I have never received any letter or communication from this company where it gives me an opportunity to verify this supposed debt. I do not even know what this debt supposedly is. They have not validated any debt ( proving it is still within the statute of limitations, they are bonded to do business in the state of Texas, the amount can be proven and verified ... etc ). This violated FDCPA. Again I was never sent a letter with my rights to dispute the debt.

Complaint narrative:
I mailed several certified letters over to each credit bureau since XX/XX/2017 and every month there after. To only receive verified credit reports. Your company has pushed me to take legal actions against you due to breaking and violating my rights within The FCRA FACTA. You must take the proper protocol and take the correct steps in verifying a consumers debt. You must also get consent from the consumer in order to touch a credit file. It seems that you never attempted to contact me nor did you follow any directions. The law states if you cant verify a debt it must be removed immediately. I am distress and living miserably due to error accounts that you are reporting inaccurately. I have contact the attorney generals office, filed a lawsuit at the XXXX XXXX County Courthouse, i also filed a complaint with the FTC. You are reporting several addresses on my account inaccurately, this is the correct address XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX FL XXXX. The accounts that are inaccurate and I am unaware of the accounts listed in the attachment below.

Product: Debt collection — Private student loan debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Merchants and Medical Credit Corporation, Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
This is a formal complaint against MERCHANTS & MEDCAL located in XXXX, MI. This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act as well as the Fair Credit Billing Act and has caused me much unnecessary financial AND mental distress. For starters, they're reporting an erroneous & unverifiable account on my credit report and not to mention an account in which I've asked for proof of claim and in which they have not been able to provide, per the FCRA & FCBA. Despite my efforts to resolve this unfortunate nightmare for several months now, XXXX XXXX has completely ignored my communications and legal submissions to remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. I am well aware of several other complaints filed against this company for their illegal and unethical business practices. Yet, somehow, this company is still in business. This company 's unprofessional & negligent behavior has caused lots of serious harm, not only to my ability to establish credit & good interest rates, but also to my character as a Professional and as an individual. Please help me, and the many other consumers just like me, to put a stop to the operation of these unethical & immoral business practices immediately. I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon.

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: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AK

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I sent certified letters ( that were signed for ) to all three credit reporting companies stating that information on my reports was incorrect. I didn't hear back at all from two of the agencies, and Experian only seemed to update some inconsequential/irrelevant information on my report that I had not requested to be revised. My complaint to the companies was based upon a student loan for {$1400.00} that I received from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. The account first went delinquent in XX/XX/XXXX and was then sold to XXXX/XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX. This collection agency informed me that I absolutely had to sign up for its rehabilitation program, which required a down-payment of approximately {$150.00}, plus monthly payments of {$50.00} ; I was repeatedly told that paying the account in full would substantially hurt my credit, but that signing up for the rehabilitation program would actually earn me good credit. I paid this agency through the program for approximately one year before the account went delinquent in XX/XX/XXXX ( see attachments ). The loan was then sold multiple times over the next few years, with substantial ( considering the amount of the original loan ) fees tacked on. Throughout that time period, I made inconsistently made numerous payments, but I struggled due to the fact that my loan had been sold so many times, and because I had to have new credit cards issued on three occasions due to fraud or lost cards ( because these " rehabilitation programs '' required that I sign up for an auto-pay with a credit card number, yet that number changed repeatedly, payments were declined on multiple occasions. The loan finally ended up with the US Department of Education in XX/XX/XXXX, in the amount of {$2800.00}. 

This shows up as an adverse account on my credit report because the loan was sold multiple times. Per 605 - 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing accounts placed for collection which antedate the report by more than seven years. I have only ever received the single student loan in my life. Because all of the student loan accounts on my current and former credit reports originate from the same XX/XX/XXXXstudent loan account through XXXX XXXX XXXX, and because that loan first went delinquent ( and was originally reported negatively in XX/XX/XXXX, which is obviously outside of XXXX years from today 's date ), these adverse accounts listed on my credit reports should, in my opinion, be removed.
