Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2025 National Credit System XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX RE : Notice of Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Dear National Credit System. 

I am writing to formally notify you that your attempts to collect on the alleged debt referenced above are in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 USC 16921692p. If you are not aware this entire claim is regulated by an arbitration agreement with *insert original creditor*, which clearly stipulates that any dispute must be resolved through arbitration due to the binding agreement. To date there has been no arbitration proceedings. As a direct result of that this is considered a material breach of the arbitration terms listed in the original agreement acknowledged by all involved parties. I confidently assert that you have no right to collect on this alleged debt. 

I am writing this as I humbly seek to have this discrepancy resolved both promptly and amicably. 

With that, my demands are as follows : XXXX. You must promptly notify any credit reporting agency to remove all information and/or tradelines associated with this account. I request a written confirmation of that communication to be sent to the address you have on file ; XXXX. A settlement agreement that I may retain for my records.

3. Monetary compensation in the amount of {$1000.00}.

While I do not desire or anticipate that your negligence may force me to purse further legal action, that option will be explored. In the event that needs to happen, you are subject to a significant increase in demands to cover damages, attorney fees, and more. I am sure a company of your XXXX does not look to unreasonably be exposed to those routes. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. We look forward to resolving this issue promptly. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Bell Global Services LLC

Complaint narrative:
I received an email on XXXX from Bell Global Services about the debt letting me know it was their first attempt to reach me. I emailed back immediately requesting information. Per their email if I was to write them within 30 days they were to stop collection until the provide me with that information. Today on XXXX I received a phone call from them, however, I couldn't answer because I was at work. A Lady working for them named XXXX XXXX, then called my ex-husband and told him that they were with a legal department trying to get in contact with me. She requested my phone number but he wouldn't provide it so she told him her number along with my case number. He then called me freaking out think I was being sued. When they are not a legal department they are a debt collection agency. I immediately called them back and asked them why if their email states after receiving my request they have to wait 30 days before contacting me she said there was a 72 hours hold period before the process my request I tried to tell that is not what the email states and she began yelling at me about the 72 hours hold which I began yelling back telling her she will not speak to me that way and she will no longer contact me or my friends and family and to consider this a cease and desist. She misrepresented herself as a legal force and made some think I was in legal trouble and then proceeded to yell at me when I was just trying to figure out why they were proceeding with the collection.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them.
