Consumer Complaint: My complaint is against Transworld Systems Inc. For unfair and deceptive credit collection practices. I paid a collection item for {$100.00} on XX/XX/2017 which I did not know I had until I recently checked my credit report. I still dispute the item, however to close on my mortgage I decided to pay it as long as Transworld would get me a paid receipt. Transworld said at the time they could e-mail me a paid receipt upon my payment. I paid them via my debit card, and as off today they have not delivered me a paid receipt. I believe they tricked me into paying something and did not follow through on their end. Now I may not be able to close on my mortgage. this has caused much more drama than necessary for a small item I dispute. I believe they have a responsibility to do what they say they will do to help the consumer, especially one that is paying them.

Consumer Complaint: While attempting to re-enroll at XXXX XXXX Colleges I was told I could not register for classes unless I paid an alleged debt to the collection agency TSI. The original debt was only {$420.00}. But TSI said I had to pay {$970.00}. TSI told me that was the {$420.00} plus an {$82.00} fee and interest. But, TSI could not explain why they were entitled to the {$82.00} fee or interest. I did not owe the debt and no law or agreement I am aware of allows TSI to add fees or interest anyway. I had to unfairly borrow money to pay the full {$970.00} so I could enroll an attend school in time under protest.

Consumer Complaint: I had a credit card a few years ago that was sent to a collections. I called to set up a payment plan to start paying it off and was told the balance was XXXX. in XX/XX/2016 I started making payments of XXXX and at this point have paid XXXX. I called to find out the remaining balance is thinking its XXXX or so and they are now telling me i owe an additional XXXX . I asked them to provide documentation and was hung up on. So I called back again and they said they could not provide the balance and they charge everyone 12 payments of a XXXX until the balance is paid off but could not tell me what the balance was when it was sent to collections or what was added onto the payment. I asked to speak with a manager and was once again hung up on. I have pulled a my credit report and its reflecting the charge off was XXXX. I received a email from Transworld Systems Inc. stating i needed to make 12 payments of a XXXX even though i only owe XXXX even with interest it does n't make sense why they are charging me a extra XXXX nor will they provide any documentation as to what i am being charged for. I am trying to pay off this debt and they will not provided me with an accurate pay off nor are they being honest of what the extra XXXX is going towards.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt is not mine
Consumer Complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I received a telephone call on my personal cell from a debt collector identified as Transworld System Collection Agency in reference to an allege debt I had with my health insurance company. When I attempted to gather additional information about the alleged debt, they refused to provide any further details claiming that it was the only information they had. I managed to gather some additional info from the insurance co, and the amount of the alleged debt which was {$440.00} according to them. I also obtained info on the alleged day the transaction took place which was on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX but could not gather any further info as to the provider and the type of service I allegedly received. The person that contacted me was interested in the collection per se and not in providing me details to resolve any misunderstanding. In addition, he recited to me verbatim my full social security number after I confirmed my last XXXX, my full name, DOB, and other personal information which they should not have obtained legally. My complaint relies on the fact that I was able to pursue information from the alleged health insurance company in XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The transaction they claimed I owe ca n't be possible since according to the health insurance co, I deactivated my insurance on that same day due to a relocation. The insurance co, verified their records which yielded negative as to any pending charges or attempt to collect a debt. The insurance co, ( XXXX ) took notes n my concerns and asked me to send a formal write up to be placed on the record. XXXX is a scam. I vehemently, stated to them that I would proceed no further with the conversation until I obtained further information based on my consumer rights. The person on the phone was very persistent and utilized intimidating l am a federal employee and a victim of identity theft when XXXX records were stolen in XXXX. As a result, my personal information has been all over the internet and used by unauthorized websites without my knowledge or consent. I have evidence of such instances as well. I request prove of the alleged pending debt and validation that I made it. The fact that they had my whole personal information does not states the transaction was made by me and is valid. The account number they provided to me for this matter is XXXX and their phone # is XXXX. The number they called me from showed is registered to XXXX, Florida.
