I am on XXXX and my credit is terrible from tons of medical bills. This loan never should have been approved and I do not believe the amount is correct, it is definitely fraudulent predatory lending.

Issue: False statements or representation

Subissue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Consumer Complaint: I was looking through my Great Lakes account and noticed a balance in which this collection agency is offering payment options on a balance of {$26000.00} which is in a positive balance. So I do not have to pay anything in a positive balance which is in pursuant to 15usc 1692e ( 2 ) ( A ) ( B ) false and misleading representation The false representation of the character, amount, or legal status of any debt ; or any services rendered or compensation which may be lawfully received by any debt collector for the collection of a debt. Please refer to the attached to the file of my Great Lakes account of evidence of false of misleading. I want the balance to be XXXX out as this is destroying my livelihood. If my bank checking account is positive, it means I am in possession to spend this balance If the balance is negative then that would mean I owe the balance. So with this Great Lakes account if the balance is negative then I would have to owe this debt. If I were to pay on this balance it means I am voluntarily paying for something that is not originally owed. I want the balance to be XXXX for I am not obligated to pay for this positive balance. The evidence is attached in the link
