Consumer Complaint: I sent the credit bureaus letters ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ) asking them to verify the debt on my reports. They have responded that the disputed accounts have been either updated or verified as correct. However, this is still incorrect, and inaccuracies remain on my report. 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

Consumer Complaint: NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEMS is in violation of 48 of the FDCPA Laws as you can see in Exhibit A, B, C, D & E. Also they are in violation due to multiple phone calls I received, a phone call without my prior consent is a violation of 15 USC 1692c ( a ), the tone of the agent is a violation of 15 USC 1692d ( 1 ), the agent also said it was an attempt to collect a debt which is a violation of 15 USC 1692b ( 2 ). and it was a very inconvenient time which is a violation of 15 USC 1692c ( a ) ( 1 ) as you can clearly see there is nothing but harassment from NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEMS On XX/XX/2021 I sent NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEMS a debt validation letter, it was received and sign for on XX/XX/2021. Federal law states they have 30 days to respond satisfying the FDCPA requirements. They have failed to do so on multiple attempts as seen in the exhibits they have continuously harassed me and continuously sending a STATEMENT and a statement does not constitute a Debt. As you are aware, " Estoppel by Silence '' legally means that they had a duty to speak but failed to do so therefore, that must mean NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEMS agrees with me that this debt is false. NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEMS failed to validate a debt at my request, which is a FDCPA violation and continued to report a disputed debt to the Credit Bureaus : another FCRA violation. By doing so and by reporting this debt to the credit bureaus it is causing damage to my character and that is Harassment under 15 USC 1692d ( 1 ) Pursuant to 15 USC 1692k - Civil liability, 15 USC 1692k ( a ) ( 1 ) and 15 USC 1692k ( 2 ) ( a ). I want remedy by paying the invoice included of {$48000.00} and immediate Deletion from all consumer reports for my Federally protected consumer rights. please investigate this matter and help me from further harassment. If I do not receive payment for violations I will escalate this matter to court! Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: This company is claiming that I owe a debt, but I have never had a relationship with NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEM. They are illegally reporting an incorrect account to the credit bureaus, and this is affecting me tremendously. I sent the first letter on XX/XX/XXXX, and the second letter on XX/XX/XXXX requesting validation, but this request fell on deaf ears, yet it is still on my credit report. I am under the impression that NATIONAL CREDIT SYSTEM received my letter because my credit report notes that it was in a dispute. My question is why have I yet to receive any validation of this account? Also, the balance is not the same balance I have with the original creditor, so I am confused as to why this company is saying that I owe the stated balance on my credit report. Due to the fact that you've not legally verified this account and have allowed for incorrect and possibly fraudulent information to continue reporting on my credit file, you are required to remove this account immediately from my credit report. Also, how is XXXX reporting that this has been a collection since XX/XX/XXXX, but XXXX and XXXX have no record of this? This is violating so many FCRA and FDCPA requirements. If I am forced to take this to court and hire an attorney, I will be seeking {$2000.00} per violation. I will attach the letter that was sent 3 months ago. You will also see the mailed date and time stamp on the letter. Please investigate once again and remove this account immediately.

Consumer Complaint: National Credit Systems Collection Agency contacted me, by sending a letter about a debt I owed to an apartment complex that Id never heard of ( The XXXX XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX. I called and inquired, they told me that it was located in a city that Id never rented an apartment in, and they suggested that it was identity theft. So, I contacted my local Sherrifs office, only to find out that the apartment complex didnt exist in the town. So, I XXXX it, and realized that it was an apartment complex that had been renamed. The previous name was as XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, and I was on a lease there, that ended on XX/XX/XXXX. When we had our final walkthrough inspection, and turned in the keys upon move out, I didnt owe any money. In the 1 year and 2 weeks between when I moved out, and when I received the collection notice, I had not received any bill, phone call, or otherwise, letting me know that any money was owed. So, with the collection notice, out of the blue, without notice, I do not believe that I owe anything, and believe this collection is not valid. Ive attempted to explain this to both the collection agency and the administration at the XXXX XXXX, and both times have been hung up on. They both refused to show me proof of notice, dates, etc. showing when or what this {$66.00} charge is for. It was reported to all 3 credit bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX, and my score had dropped XXXX points. I believe this is unfair/nefarious/ in error and I dont believe it is owed by me. I would like the debt to removed and dropped from my credit report.

Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX, we moved out of an apartment complex ( XXXX XXXX Apts ) with all rent and fees up to date and in good standing. There was no contact from them about any outstanding debts or rent owed. On XX/XX/XXXX, I receive a letter from National Credit Systems , Inc . They claim I owe {$630.00}, the price of rent from the apartments with the apartments listed as the client. I send on a dispute letter asking for verification. They sent another letter on XX/XX/XXXX where they said they are aware I dispute the amount and did not find sufficient evidence to support my claims. With this, they included a document which " itemizes the charges assessed by the original creditor '' this breaks down that rent was XXXX nd utility charges were XXXX, which match the rates at the time of leasing from them, but nowhere on the charges does it state which month this is supposed to be due for. I sent them a reply which asked which month this was supposed to be for and that I do not want to pay for something that was already paid for. My roommate of the time has bank records of all our months of paid rent and we could provide evidence but they do not say what this is for so we have no way to provide the evidence. The only date on the verification was our move out date, and our bank records have that month as paid. Next I received a letter from XXXX XXXX ( lawyer ) on behalf of the collectors. He just repeated the same information and I once again asked for more specifics. his first letter was XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, after asking for the specifics of the debt to be able to counter their claims, I received another letter from XXXX XXXX notifying me that their client was willing to settle at substantial savings to me. I replied that I was willing to settle for {$0.00} and to have the matter taken off my credit report as I still believe this is not something I owe and proof of what month this is for was still not provided. They have not responded since.
