Consumer Complaint: On my credit report is an account that is XXXX XXXX XXXX, as well as paid in 2012. I have disputed this account several times it will be removed for a while, then it is re inserted and re dated. I have disputed it with the credit bureaus and they call it a valid debt. I do n't understand how the bureaus validated that information, when I have written and called the address and phone number provided on my credit report and the number is disconnected or no longer in service. Trans World System # XXXX XXXX XXXX, DE XXXX is reporting a {$280.00} debt on behalf of XXXX XXXX. The account is XXXX XXXX XXXX well past the statue of limitation and reporting time limits according to the fair credit reporting act. XXXX XXXX services all of Texas and will not provide service to you with a outstanding bill. In XXXX of 2012 the outstanding bill was paid. Since 2012 I have been trying to keep this inaccurate collection account off my credit report.

Consumer Complaint: I was a real estate agent with XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, FL XXXX during the period XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. When I disassociated myself from the brokerage, my online account had fees assessed to XX/XX/XXXX. However the final bill they send changed the dates to the last date of XXXX/XXXX/2016. I asked that my fees get prorated to the day that I left because I was being asked to pay for a Legal Assistance Program of {$420.00} for a year plus some additional fees. The Legal Assistance Program is a program that protects agents legally if any lawsuits would arise during closing of real estate contracts. I asked XXXX if I paid for the program, if I would have access to it. I was told NO because I was no longer affiliated with the company. I then said that I do n't think that I should pay for a program that I will not use or have access to. I was then advised they would send it to collections and it would affect my credit. I sent XXXX a pro-rated check of {$130.00} and XXXX rejected the check and sent it back to me and sent the demand for payment to collections. I have received several collection calls from XXXX. I find this more than predatory. It is unconscionable to demand payment for a service I have never used or even have access to if I pay for it. I hope you can investigate and advise accordingly.

Consumer Complaint: I enrolled at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2016 in the XXXX program. 5 weeks later, on XX/XX/2016, the school closed permanently without notice. A letter was posted on the school 's website informing all students and staff that the school had closed. When I enrolled, I had to get a private loan, from the school, that they are saying I am now responsible for, even though I never even finished one term. I never received one credit from the school, as we were still 3 weeks, from finals. When I contacted the loan company, they said there was nothing they could do and the loan had to be paid back because they gave the funds to the school. When asked should n't the funds been sent to me and I sign the check over to the school, I was hung up on.

Consumer Complaint: I have been making my payments to UAS ( University Accounting Service ) regularly for several months now. I recently change banks. So when I went to make my most recent payment, I deleted the old bank account and added the new account. It was approved. But now UAS is charging me a {$20.00} fee saying they can not process the payment because there was no account attached. THEY APPROVED the new account!

Consumer Complaint: Younomics ( University Accounting Services ), a private loan servicing company, has reported my student loan in default for over 12 months. I am XXXX and have requested a deferment from the company. The company will not state the reason why it will not defer my loan. I did not originally receive the loan from Younomics and I suppose the loan was sold them for servicing. The default is hurting my credit and ruining my chances to purchase a car, home and other essentials. The company has harassed me on several occasions with threatening phone calls and letters. I have disputed the matter with my credit report, stating I 'm in-school and should be shown as " payment deferred '' however, the company has refused to indicate why I can not receive a deferment or other deferred payment options.

Consumer Complaint: Transworld continues to send the XXXX student loans to collection agencies even after I was able to get the loans deleted from my credit reports. Transworld has sent the loans to XXXX different collection agencies to get me to pay it, I never signed any agreements with XXXX XXXX XXXX or Transworld. The only documents that were sent had XXXX XXXX XXXX on it not XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX must show proof they own the debt and ca n't just claim they do. I already spoke with a FDCPA attorney on this and XXXX XXXX XXXX must have proof they have the rights to collect on those loans, it is not enough to send promissory notes that I signed with another company and claim that you own them without any proof. XXXX XXXX states they no longer own the debts and XXXX XXXX XXXX should have sent documentation to me that they purchased the loans and have the rights to collect on them. My mother received calls about these loans even though her name is not on them, they told her they were looking for me. Even though that was not a number to reach me and they knew this. I do not want any more collection letters on these loans. I just had XXXX XXXX call me today on these loans but XXXX had the loans about two weeks ago. Transworld needs to leave me alone. I do not owe XXXX XXXX XXXX anything because I never received proof they have the right to collect on the loans because NCT is a trust not a company and per state law they have to follow trust regulations which they have not.

Consumer Complaint: Here is the letter I sent the collections agency. It describes the situation well. XX/XX/XXXX REGISTERED MAIL Transworld Sys XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX Dear Sir or Madam, Today I was reviewing my credit report and I learned your agency filed XXXX collections on my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX. At no time did I receive anything from your company stating that a collection action had been filed nor have I been given an opportunity to determine if these debts were legitimate before you placed them on my credit report. In researching these bills I have discovered that these collections were sent to you by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX a billing company for XXXX XXXX XXXX, an in-network XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Despite a date of service XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to bill my insurance until after this account was assigned to your agency despite being given the correct billing information many months earlier. It appears that shortly after this account was sent to your company XXXX XXXX finally billed my insurer and was sent payment. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, my health insurance company sent XXXX XXXX full payment for all services rendered under all three bills. Under the contract XXXX has with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX he has agreed to accept a discounted amount from members of the network, he was paid that rate in compliance with the contract however your company is attempting to collect the difference between the contracted amount and the amount billed. Your company clearly is aware of these payments because you reflect the updated balance on my credit report, this demonstrates your companies complicity in attempting to collect a debt you are not entitled to. XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX have been paid all amounts legally due them under the in-network contract he signed, neither your company nor any other party is entitled to collect any further amount. There is no basis for this collection action whatsoever. I demand you cease all efforts to collect and remove all derogatory information from my credit report immediately. Failing to do so will result in a complaint being filed with the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau. I have enclosed the explanation of benefits forms providing evidence that these bills have in fact been paid, had XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX properly billed the insurer they would have been paid within 30 days of the services being rendered like every other party that provided service during this admission. Any correspondence regarding this matter must be done in writing. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: This company has never reached out to me to collect any type of debt. I looked on my XXXX report and my credit score dropped drastically for this collection debt. I called and asked them to provide me with the invoice or any written documentation, which they would not provide me. They asked for my SSN multiple times and were trying to reach someone named XXXX, who is not me. I informed them this was not me ; however, they told me there is nothing they can do unless I provide my SSN.
