Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed

Debt collection: Credit card

Debt is not mine
Complaint: I have been sued by Jefferson Capital on an old credit card ( Salute card ) I opened in XX/XX/XXXX, I provided them with a copy of my old XXXX credit report. it 's listed it as satisfactory account closed without any outstanding debt. I communicated this info to the law office collecting the debt on behalf of Jefferson Capital. I was told that the account number does not match what they have. I mailed a letter to original creditor ( salute card ), they responded that my account was old and therefore was removed and purged from their system. They never provided me with complete accounting of the debt nor whether the debt was transferred or sold.As matter of fact, I was only given one copy of generic statement. I also point out that Jefferson Capital was sued by XXXX back in XX/XX/XXXX and a settlement was reached. This is a deceitful tactic from Jefferson Capital to report the account under wrong account number to give them leverage to sue by providing the accurate account number this time.Since my account was closed in XX/XX/XXXX, I never received any collection letters from Salute that I owed money until I received notification from the court before small claim in XX/XX/XXXX. They levied my house and tied my hands to not be able to refinance to pay for my kids college tuition. I tried to settle the account even though I do n't owe anything to them, I pleaded with them and provided them with proof of financial hardship but they ignore my offers, emails and phone calls. I only wanted to settle so they can free up my title but they are just playing games with me and do n't have the courtesy to respond back to me. I was honest and told them the reason of my settlement and that I am pressed of time to finish my refinance in order to pay my college tuition. They are just taking advantage of my situation and my emotional distress. I can provide with any supporting documents. I also would like to reference the lawsuit against Jefferson Capital in XX/XX/XXXX, Case XXXX XXXX XXXX Filed XXXX/XXXX/XXXX

Debt resulted from identity theft
Complaint: I had my identity stolen in XX/XX/XXXX 2007. In less than a month 's time the ID thieves in XXXX, ( Im in XXXX ), bought XXXX top line XXXX COMPUTERS @ {$3000.00} each. Also a few other smaller checks for random items, accounts, etc. On about XXXX XXXX, 2007 I finally get a XXXX Bank postcard stating my check for {$3000.00} had bounced and already began the computer 's process of double charging the overdraft fee, then the fee for that, which lead to more overdraft fees. XXXX was of no help with the problem, in fact they were " shady '' about it. I called several times only to be mocked, laughed at, and literally called a liar. Even though copies to every check & transaction I had ever done with them was available anytime for my viewing- they refused me any information, viewing, what the large amount paid for ... NOTHING. This was all witnessed by officers at the XXXX Police Dept as my final call to XXXX about this was in front of them so they could listen. The representative mocking my call and handwriting changes his tune when a Detective took phone from me and politely tore into his unprofessional behavior and that ID theft reports had been filed ; investigations started. So there 's more but I 'll cut to where this strange collection letter comes in. For over a year now I have begun receiving NEW debt collection letters XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX behalf of a Jefferson Capital Systems , for the old, fraudulent, closed and erased from XXXX Bank 's system, debt! They have the amount of {$920.00} as the total, then proceed to coax me in by asking for a mere {$180.00} within 28 days and they 'll forgive the whole thing. BUT, there 's fine print stating that once I do acknowledge them and even offer a payment, not make a payment, but offer- that will put me back in the clear to be sued, and start the debt 's full amount over again like new! I am blown away, first off- the debt was never theirs to forgive, it was a mistake in XXXX Bank 's system, which has been completely erased therefore already forgiven, because obviously they do n't want any records of it to be accessible and do n't want to ever have it brought up- ( possibly in court or elsewhere ). A XXXX branch manager about 7 months ago searched extensively throughout their archives/database and current systems for anything on that former account with them or my name even, turn up nothing at all. Like it never existed even asked me if I was sure I banked with XXXX back then! It 's not on my credit reports, XXXX definitely is n't pursuing this and so bottom line- Who the heck do these shady negotiating debt swindlers think they are?! I 've had it with them! I will not contact them directly, as why I listed above. And I surely wo n't be paying for a debt I did n't even cause, to these people to pocket every bit of it! Which is exactly what they 'd do because why would XXXX want it? I do n't exist to them anymore. And on a side note, I 've read about the FTC already coming down on these XXXX companies for fraudulent acts, especially Jefferson Capital, so I think the FTC needs to know that the XXXX & XXXX games have n't stopped, their just changing up their strategies starting with their debt letters approach on people.

Incorrect information on credit report

Credit reporting:

Account status
Complaint: I have called the company Jefferson Capital Systems and when I spoke to them on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I spoke to XXXX women. I asked the first woman if the reporting could be deleted from my credit report and she advised me that it is the policy of Jefferson Capital Systems LLC to not delete their reporting for any consumer. I asked to speak to someone more senior and the representative told me she is XXXX. I was transferred to a second lady, whom was identified as a supervisor, and I asked if they could remove their reporting due to extenuating circumstances. The supervisor even specified that a " homeless mother of XXXX '' could not have the reporting from this company deleted on her report. I consider their reporting to be harmful to me. It is difficult to get a representative from this company. Often when I call, I will receive an automatic message after holding saying, " Sorry, at this time we can not accept your call. Please try again later. '' This company did not offer or allow me to dispute their reporting and denied my requests to delete their reporting. I paid an outstanding bill XX/XX/XXXX to Jefferson Capital Systems LLC to pay a debt being collected for the original owner of the debt XXXX XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX. The matter is closed and was reported paid to the credit bureaus.
