Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed

Debt collection: I do not know

Debt is not mine
Complaint: In XXXX 2015, I received a notice from a company named XXXX XXXX , XXXX stating that I owed a debt to XXXX. I called this company and also XXXX and reported that I do not owe this debt as I had never sold anything on XXXX. I also reported this to the local police as a case of potential stolen identity. In XXXX I received an email from XXXX claiming they were reviewing this claim. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I received a letter from another company named Allied Interstate LLC claiming I still owed XXXX a debt. Apparently XXXX allowed someone to link to my account without proper verification and now wants me to pay for their incompetence. I have already spent a great deal of my time attempting to resolve this issue. With my personal time and cost of consulting my attorney, this has cost me over XXXX times the amount that is claimed that I owe ( {$89.00} ). This has become quite an ordeal as well as generating a great deal of stress on me and my family. I am physically ill and I am concerned that this will adversely affect my excellent credit score ( + XXXX ) that I have spent a lifetime maintaining. I have attempted to describe this situation as briefly as possible. I have spoken with the debt collector, XXXX and XXXX. I have also spent time making police reports, consulting with an attorney and responding to emails from XXXX. I believe that they are purposefully attempting to " beat me into the ground '' in their attempt to collect a debt that is not mine. I have also spent time researching this and discovered that anyone can link to your XXXX account without appropriate identification. I am shocked that a company such as this operates in this manner. They also do not cooperate with police agencies as they have thrown many bureaucratic hurdles in front of the investigating officer. Thank you for reviewing this complaint. I believe it is a microcosm of a much larger and systematic pattern of illegal practices by XXXX. Most people probably pay rather than deal with this abuse.

Debt collection: Federal student loan

Threatened to take legal action
Complaint: I had my Student Loans account with XXXX and I never missed a payment. When my loan was transferred from XXXX to XXXX XXXX, the monthly payment was increased from {$190.00} on XX/XX/XXXX to {$390.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted XXXX several times and each time I was informed that the new amount was due to the " consolidation '' of the account. My loan account had been already consolidated XX/XX/XXXX before it was sent to XXXX. XXXX refused to provide me a written explanation why my payment was XXXX after they took over the account. I stopped paying because I could not afford to pay {$390.00}. XXXX did not provide any solution to this situation. In the meantime they added {$8000.00} interest to my account. I was contacted by the US Dept. of Education XX/XX/XXXX and after calling them back I sent all the forms and documents they requested. Once they received them, they hand all my information over to a collection agency, AlliedInterstate. They added {$14000.00} collection fee to my account. I have contacted the Dept. of Education a few times. They said I have XXXX options : pay in full the owed amount ( which is not an option unless I win the lotto ) or " work '' an arrangement with the collection company. I contacted them or answered their call but they are full of XXXX because they know they " own '' me. I have also contacted the ombudsman, who all they did was to provide me a worthless case number but nothing else. Interest from XXXX and collection fees from AlliedInterstate have added are more than 50 % of what the original loan was. I 've never refused to pay my loan or missed a payment while the account was with XXXX. As an individual I have the right to know why my account has, all of the sudden, double the monthly payment and refuse to pay if no explanation is provided.

Complaint: I continue to get calls from an number and nobody would answer when i called back. XXXX. Turns out it belongs to Allied Interstate, a debt collection company. Their phone number does not identify them as a debt collector or a company at all when you call them. Additionally, when the gentleman answered the phone he refused to tell me 1 ) the phone call was being recorded ( I found that out on their website ) and 2 ) that he was in fact a debt collector. He simply demanded to talk to someone by name at my phone number. I asked him if he was a debt collector and he refused to acknowledge it. I told him I could neither confirm or deny knowing the person he was trying to reach until he identified himself completely. Which he did not. I then terminated the call and told him he may not contact my telephone again.
