Consumer Complaint: In XXXX, I opened a XXXX account which was my first phone contract. There was an amount of {$450.00} that went to collection which I paid on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I printed my credit report and I seen XXXX XXXX XXXX on my report for tmobile. I called the number for XXXX XXXX XXXX, I was unable to reach a person so I called XXXX and they could not give me an idea why this collection is still on my report. They transferred me to the collection company which is not the company that is listed on my report, they said they have not received my payment and for me to call XXXX back to let them know. When I spoke to the customer service representative from XXXX again she told me that I only paid {$190.00} out of the {$450.00} and that the balance was {$250.00} and also that the account went to 3 different collection companies. On my report, it says that the account is paid in full with the collection company.

Consumer Complaint: In an attempt to refinance my home loan it was brought to my attention that I had a negative account on my XXXX credit score. I was not notified that this was still active on my account, as I have now found out that a new debt collection agency had purchased this debt. I was not notified by them via mail, and if they called I have not answered and spoken to anyone involving this. This debt is not valid, so I would have fought this debt, as I have in the past, which I am now doing since my discussion with my mortgage company brought this to my attention.

Consumer Complaint: To Whom It May Concern, The reason for my dispute is ENHANCED RECOVERY COMPANY # XXXX was required to notify me no later than 30 days after furnishing the negative information to credit bureau reports, in writing ... under such section 623, subsection ( 7 ) ( A ). However, in my records I am unable to locate documentation that they complied with this requirement, which is a violation of the FCRA & FDCPA. Also, ENHANCED RECOVERY COMPANY failed to give me my " Mini-Miranda '' five days prior to placing this derogatory item on all of my credit reports, per Section 807 ( 11 ) & FDCPA 809, which is {$1000.00} per violation and the state of OHIO allows treble damages. Under 809. Validations of date and Mini-Mirandi under Section 807 ( 1 ) ENHANCED RECOVERY COMPANY failed to send me my initial communication before placing this alleged item on my credit reports further violating the FCRA, with {$1000.00} per violation. ENHANCED RECOVERY COMPANY is held liable as well for defamation and in the state of OHIO a creditor is who collects on a debt is considered a debt collector under 1319.12 Taking assignment of debts. Sec C Subsection ( 3 ) The assignment was manifested by a written agreement separate from and in addition to any document intended for the purpose of listing the account, bill, or other evidence of indebtedness with the collection agency. The written agreement shall state the effective date of the assignment and the consideration paid or given, if any, for the assignment and shall expressly authorize the collection agency to refer the assigned account, bill, or other evidence of indebtedness to an attorney admitted to the practice of law in this state for the commencement of litigation. The written agreement also shall disclose that the collection agency may consolidate, for purposes of filing an action, the assigned account, bill, or other evidence of indebtedness with those of other creditors against an individual debtor or co-debtors. FDCPA I fail to see where ENHANCED RECOVERY COMPANY is in compliance with OHIO LAW. I also believe that this business is not registered to operate in the state of OHIO I expect this collection account to be removed from my credit report ENHANCED RECOVERY COMPANY has not even tried to contact me regarding this collection account. Please have them remove this collection account immediately. Thank you!

Consumer Complaint: I previously had phone service with XXXX XXXX. My bill was set up on auto-pay and was taken directly from my account each month. I switched phone carriers, which resulted in a final bill, which was paid automatically on XX/XX/XXXX. I have attached documentation to reflect this information ( my XXXX account was under a previous last name of mine ). For some reason, XXXX has repeatedly placed the amount for this final bill ( {$1000.00} ) with multiple third party collection agencies/attorney firms. I have disputed this several times and have even received confirmation that the dispute was closed in my favor. I requested a full validation of debt from the last agency that contacted me in regards to this. I received that validation of debt documentation on XX/XX/XXXX. This documentation clearly shows my final bill and the corresponding payment, reflecting a XXXX balance owed. Not only is this causing unnecessary stress, it is now negatively impacting me. I was recently denied credit because this is reflecting on my credit report and I also had to accept a car loan with a much higher interest rate than I feel I would have qualified for. I responsibly pay all of my bills through auto-pay because I care very much about my credit rating. I am very upset that this is impacting me so negatively and I was actually really embarrassed during the car buying process when this came up. I do not know what I need to do to get it resolved.
