Complaint What Happened I have been paying this debt since XXXX. I was initially informed the amount owed is {$3700.00} and as of today I have paid {$3700.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, I reached out to everyone I have contact information for to finalize the payments and clear the debt completely. However in each call I was told they are not the individuals I should be speaking with. In my last communication I was then informed the amount I owed is {$3400.00} with is lower than the total amount that I have recorded as payment and also told they only recorded payment in the amount of {$1200.00} since XXXX. No one is able to or willing to help or assist m with settling this debt. Since XXXX, the company has received a biweekly payment of {$50.00} directly to the company and they will not speak with me to clear this issue because they say the account is closed. I need help in clearing the matter.

XXXX then discussed my debt, the amounts owed, as well as offered a settlement option to him. XXXX also told him that a judgement was about to be filed against me for the amount owed. I have not had any contact with this debt collection agency, no letters phone calls etc, and it is unlawful to talk to other people about a personal matter. This is a clear violation of the FDCPA.

Complaint What Happened In XX/XX/XXXX my credit was good, with 20+ thousand dollars I was struggling but making timely payments for a long time. Then I get this letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX, I called their number, they tell me that they can slash the Debt in half, that they know the credit language and they they know how to talk to my creditors, they I should not fear anymore, that my credit would drop a little but that it would go back up in six months. I couldnt believe it! But what really happened was that they let all my accounts default and eventually making me lose all of my accounts that were in good standing since the beginning, they scammed me, they didnt tell me the truth. Later I was filled with collections all over the place, they advised not to talk to my creditors, after a year and a half I saw they were not getting anywhere with my debts I started making settlements with my debtors myself. At the same time I was paying XXXX XXXX XXXX to pay the people they had already settled with, at the last I was Almost finishing an account to finally graduate from the program. It was a Sterling Inc. account number : XXXX, XXXX made an agreement with the collection company by the name XXXX XXXX. The agreement was payments totaling {$1500.00}. Just as I was about to make a final payments in XXXX they drop me out of the program, I called XXXX XXXX, they tell me they have no jurisdiction over the account anymore, they gave me a number to a company by the name XXXX, I get in contact with XXXX and they tell me that the payment bounced, that thats why. But that was inconsistent because my account had sufficient funds ( {$510.00} ) they had taken the payment and put back into my account to default the settlement, they balance was {$2400.00}, when they returned the money it went back to {$2500.00}. Incidentally that was the same company that sent me letters claiming that I owe them money in the middle of XX/XX/XXXX, I found the letter suspicious, in the letter I had to dispute the Debt, I looked online how to do it and sent them a dispute letter in XX/XX/XXXX, theyve been selling this account all over the place to make me pay it, and Ive paid more than enough with all their tricks.

Complaint What Happened The attached company claims that the account will be removed on all pertinent credit reports XXXX XXXX. I stipulate that the account was opened in XXXX, that it went into default the same year, was eventually paid in full in XXXX, and that the company in question still not only maintains a balance of {$1500.00}, but that the account if legal would show a XXXX balance. My dispute was challenged and a copy of the XXXX XXXX result is attached, with virtually no response or required documentation to maintain a negative trade line on my personal credit report. The item needs to be deleted as mandated under the 84-month rule with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, as mandated under Dodd-Frank has taken up consumer rights where FCRA and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act consumer rights are being violated.

Complaint What Happened I took out a loan for a ring that I purchased through the store and was making the proper payments on a monthly basis. I calculated how much I had owed and got it down to the last month. When I called in to the store I asked if it was the last payment and how much more I owed. I was told that everything was paid off and that nothing more would be owed. Months later I receive a phone call notifying me that I still owed {$7.00} from my previous account and due to the interest I now owed {$110.00} on top of that. I explained to the company that I had been told that my account was paid off when I last spoke to the store and they fixed the issue. They removed the interest that I owed and I settled the payment of the {$7.00} that I apparently owed despite being told previously that I had settled all payments months prior. However it is reflecting on my credit score now by dropping it XXXX points in one month.

If all of these requirements are not in order, then I have the legal right to request the deletion of this tradeline accordingly. DISCLOSURE : At no time is this a dispute of identity theft or fraud, and I want my dispute answered by the creditor supplying the information on me to be 100 % validated, and/or to see if the timeline for its existence has passed, or if the credit/collection/public record tradeline is on my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act or a violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Any item that I believe is not being validated by the creditor or collection agency or public record vendor will be disputed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at a future date. If the item in dispute is legally valid, I will stand by that validation. We only request validation of information and/or debt ownership. At no time will I dispute a credit reporting agency, as it is imperative to the American free markets that XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX maintain integrity for the American consumers. The following federal laws are what I am basing my rights under : Amended consumer rights Fair Credit Reporting Act Public Law 15 U.S.C. 1681 : https : //www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/pdf-0111-fair-credit-reporting-act.pdf Fair Debt Collection Practices Act : https : //www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/fair-debt-collection-practices-act-text I make this request based upon potentially six criteria : 1 ) That I personally agreed and signed a application and/or contract on an extension of credit, and that I may have been late on payments and desire to find an agreed upon timeline when my credit trade line will go to a positive status, or be in position for its legal deletion mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act 7-Year rule on the deletion of antiquated information. 2 ) That there may be items on my credit report that was acquired through a public record vendor, and that I may request a fully documented validation of any or all items posted from public record, and upon discovery may request the deletion of the public record postings based upon legal time limits, and/or completed research proving the settled agreements between myself and a second or third party. In and event, if the public record is legal, I will agree upon the trade line being maintained on my credit report until the time arrives where it can legally be removed. 3 ) I may dispute any collection agency that maintains that they are attempting to collect a debt, either for an original creditor I may have had an association with, or if the collection agency maintains that they have acquired the debt. I may request from the debt collector full documentation of assignment of debt collection in written form as mandated by the Federal Trade Commission, including but not limited to verification that the collection agency is bonded and legally approved to collect debts from consumers within my state of residency, and if the agency maintains that the debt has been acquired by purchase, then full documented history of the debt transfer either directly from the original creditor and/or from the securitized trust the debt may have been sold to in a debt portfolio administered through the full regulatory body of the Securities and Exchange Commission. I may in addition request such documentation through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation if that is indeed the governing body of the original credit grantor. 4 ) I will dispute all public utility payment histories including the collection process assigned to any collection agency, as all public utilities including cell phone charges, natural gas, electric and public violations within municipalities are not governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, but by governing bodies within each state known as public service commissions. At no time will I ever agree upon the postings of public utilities on my credit report, even though I understand that I may volunteer to add my payment histories of this nature at any time. 5 ) I may request the services of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to help me as a potential mediator in cases where I believe that my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act are in violation. At all times I will maintain a professional demeanor on the clearance of negative information on any of my credit reports. 6 ) I will only file a direct complaint with any credit reporting agency if I believe enough evidence has been ascertained showing that the creditor, collection agency and/or public service vendor is in violation of their subscriber agreement with any credit reporting agency. I may dispute excessive inquiries posted on my credit reports based on the following. As the Federal Trade Commission struggles every year with maintaining the integrity of the credit community, from filing charges against illegal collection practices that abuse against the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), bigger problems have evolved that may never be addressed without Congressional overhaul on current legislation. There is one major problem in the FICO scoring models implemented with each major credit reporting agency ( CRAS ). The excessive use of credit checks that draw down ones credit scores, and in many cases these credit reports are run as a full inquiry that causes severe damage to a persons credit score even though there was no validation on approval to pull credit or as the FCRA states a legitimate business need. Accordingly ; I may request under my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) I request a full validation of each posted inquiry, proving that I indeed signed a credit authorization for each inquiry. DISCLOSURE : THIS IS NOT AN IDENTITY THEFT DISPUTE, PLEASE REFRAIN FROM TAKING ANY POSITION OF IDENTITY THEFT EITHER WITH ANY CREDIT REPORTING AGENCY OR ANY SUBSCRIBERE THAT PARTAKES IN THE PRIVLIDGES ON REPORTING CONSUMERS PAYMENT HISTORY, IT IS A DISPUTE ON GROUNDS OF VALIDATION PURPOSES ONLY. This letter is addressed to the subscriber furnishing the information on my credit reports, and if this letter is addressed to any credit reporting agency, then it is considered a ghost letter mirroring the actual request for documentation of a credit trade line I may have issues with. It is my understanding that each credit reporting agency has an obligation to maintain accuracy within the banking/credit community, and I will fulfill my obligations to work within the credit system as it was designated. Thank you for your full consideration in this matter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
