Consumer Complaint: I am not the one the company is attempting to collect a debt from. I continuously receive automated phone calls that do not allow me the option to stop contact. These calls happen at least twice a week, usually always on a Monday and sometimes on either Thursdays or Fridays ; happening since I received this new phone number back in XXXX 2016. The person these companies are trying to collect a debt from is not me as the name they have stated on the recordings/voicemails. I have added my number to the Do Not Call registry but that has not affected these calls.

Consumer Complaint: I had student loans with XXXX. They were transferred to Transworld Systems. The original amount was XXXX XXXXXXXX. We agreed to a settlement of XXXX XXXX. I made every payment as agreed to with automatic deduction from my bank account. This started on XX/XX/XXXX. My final payment was made on XX/XX/XXXX. There was additional withdraws set up for my account. On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with XXXX ( A supervisor ) about that. At that my point my balance showed {$7300.00}. Accoprding to my settlement agreement, I owed {$2200.00}. XXXX agreed that according to records this was correct and we scheduled two final payments. XX/XX/XXXX for {$1200.00} and XX/XX/XXXX for {$1000.00} and that would complete my obligation. I spoke with XXXX again on XX/XX/XXXX and she stated that the account was paid and a request to remove from my credit report would be made. I also requested a letter stating that I had paid the account and have received that and attached.
The Collections were removed from my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX Transworld reported to XXXX that I have an open collections account for XXXX XXXX. I have tried and worked hard to bring my credit score and repair my credit. I was doing great. This crushed that. I was denied a loan and could n't figure out why. Then I checked and saw this. This is wrong.Company Response:

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2012, I was seen by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. At that time I had XXXX XXXX XXXX, which was billed for the visit. I thought this debt had been paid but found out on the credit report that it is now past due.
My Explanations of benefits from XXXX states that I owe XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX after benefits are applied to the bill. They instead state that I owe them XXXX, which is the full amount of the bill. I disputed the amount of the debt with the debt collection agency, sent them a copy of the EOB from XXXX, and received a sheet of paper just simply stating that I owe XXXX. Even though on their online billing website it shows the credit for XXXX from XXXX. Further, the bill online states that nothing at this time is due. See attachements below.Company Response:

Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX, I signed an agreement to pay an attorney 's office ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ) for the amount owed to the original creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, {$100.00} each month, due on the XXXX of each month. I have made satisfactory payments and am in good standing with this company. However, several months ago I noticed another company, Transworld Systems , Inc., was reporting this debt in collections. I have never received any communication from this company, including voice calls or written notification via email or mail, that I had outstanding debt with this company. When I tried to contact this company in the past ( the most recent phone call was XX/XX/XXXX ), the person I spoke with at Transworld stated he could not locate an account under my name or social security number. When I explained the situation he stated he was not sure how to help me. I asked him to please transfer me to a manager. He transferred me to a woman who was not a manager and again, was unsure how to help me. She placed me on hold several times before transferring me to the attorney 's office ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ) without my knowledge. I had no idea I was speaking with their office. The attorney was not able to help me as they state they do not report to the credit bureaus.
