Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: To Whom it May Concern, I hope this correspondence finds you well. Last XXXX XXXX XXXX I received a letter from Transworld Systems stating that I owed XXXX {$1400.00} and had until XX/XX/XXXX to call or write to dispute the debt. I called them on XXXX to advise that I did not know what this debt was and had not received any other correspondence/bill from them or from XXXX. I asked if they had any additional information about this supposed outstanding bill and the only thing they could tell me was that it was from an account in XXXX. When I asked why I had not heard anything about it until now, they did not have an answer for me. So, I disputed the account with them on the phone that day ( XXXX ) and requested a validation letter/itemized bill for the amount requested. I was told that they needed to request that bill from XXXX and to check back with them in XXXX business days. I was also told that they would mail me a validation letter/itemized bill to the address they had on file, which was the same address as the initial letter they mailed me on XXXX. I called them again on XXXX to ask if there was any update as I had not received anything in the mail yet. They told me that I did not need to keep calling because I would receive a validation letter in the mail from them. However, I was concerned about something falling through the cracks and just wanted to keep double-checking out of concern of this hitting my credit report so I kept calling. I called again on XXXX and also XXXX and these phone calls were identical to the previous two calls. I was told the account was still in dispute and that they were still waiting to hear from XXXX before they could produce a validation letter. In doing some research throughout this time I found out that a debt collector is required by law to produce a validation letter/itemized bill and are required to do so within 30 days of originally requesting it. I originally requested this on XXXX. On my XXXX and XXXX calls with Transworld Systems Incorporated I indicated that this was way past the 30 day mark to produce a validation letter/itemized bill and wanted this debt collection attempt to be terminated. They told me that the only thing I could do was keep waiting. Subsequently, I found out on this past XXXX ( XXXX ) that this was reported to all credit bureaus resulting in a substantial derogatory mark and decrease in credit score/rating. I called Transworld Systems Incorporated earlier this morning ( XXXX ) stating that the account was in dispute and that I still had not received a validation letter/itemized bill and that this has now been reported to all three credit bureaus. They are still unable to tell me what the bill is even for. I requested this negative item be removed from all credit bureaus and this request was denied. This has been an extremely upsetting experience. I feel as though I went above and beyond to try and sort this out and that my rights were substantially violated. Attached is the only mailed correspondence I have received from Transworld Systems Incorporated, the original letter dated XXXX Regards, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: I have been trying to have a collections account in the amount of {$410.00} awarded to my ex-spouse in our divorce removed from my account for over a year now. ( First removal process was XX/XX/2023 ) Transworld Systems on the behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX utility company ) has done everything they can to avoid removing the collections account, even after I have submitted the divorce decree to them for review multiple times. The debt is not my responsibility and my credit score continues to suffer due to the questionable practices at Transworld Systems. They actively refuse to provide any information about my collections account removal process, refuse to provide a deletion letter, and repeatedly ignore my phone calls or hang up on me. I have spent hours on hold trying to have this issue resolved over the past year and yet they refuse. Collections practices like this are not only immoral, but also illegal.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: I see this company on my credit report and its causing damage to me and my family members. I never opted in to have my information shared. " According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 a states\n '' There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. '' XXXX and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states '' It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers ' nonpublic personal information. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC\n1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in acordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies XXXX and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. Any and all consent to XXXX, XXXX, ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) Never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Not only that 15\nUSC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states '' Except as autorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years.

'' XXXX and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Also XXXX XXXX XXXX states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Consumer Complaint: An account that was previously removed for belonging to my son has been put back on my credit report and my credit score took a substantial blow because of this. No information has been given to why this is put on my credit report. I have a son who lived with me, who also has the same name XXXX XXXX, and it looks like our credit reports have again been merged. I want the account from XXXX XXXX XXXX with account number ending in # # XXXX removed immediately. This is neglect on the reporting company, and they should be held accountable for this horrible mistake. I am requesting an updated credit report for my personal records as I can't trust what else may be put on my report.

Issue: Communication tactics

Subissue: Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language

Consumer Complaint: This company did NOT send me all the validating information that I requested, instead they decided to just send a bunch of statements to " prove '' that the debt is mine which is a clear violation of the fair debt collection reporting act. Additionally, I requested a specified cease of communication for the account # XXXX to which they also did not comply with. This further violates the FDCPA to which I am willing to take legal action. In my validation request I demanded that they show me proof that I had indorsed a contract/instrument with Transworld Systems Inc to which they did not provide. I also asked that they send me the entire purchase agreement, which they did not provide. I ask them to send more validating data pursuant to 12 CFR 1006.34 which again they did NOT provide. Furthermore, Transworld Systems Inc reported this information to consumer reporting agencies ( to whom they call business partners ) without validating the alleged debt first which is a complete violation of the fair credit reporting act. To be more specific 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2. It is clear that Transworld Systems Inc does not care about the federal laws set forth by congress and is willing to break the laws in order to make a financial gain. Instead of honoring my cease communication notice, they decided to just mark it as " disputed ''. This violates 15 U.S. Code 1692c ( c ) which states " If a consumer notifies a debt collector in writing that the consumer refuses to pay a debt or that the consumer wishes the debt collector to cease further communication with the consumer, the debt collector shall not communicate further with the consumer with respect to such debt ''. The FDCPA describes communication as " conveying of information regarding a debt directly or indirectly to any person through any medium '' and credit reporting is an indirect medium. These are unfair practices that they are using to clearly harass, oppress and abuse me. I will be submitting a complaint with my state attorney general in addition to this cfpb complaint. If this matter persists, I will seek litigation for damages.
