Debt collection: Other debt
Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Complaint: I was notified by XXXX XXXX that there was a change on my credit reports and when I checked there was a negative remark about a collections debt from Diversified Consultants, XXXX, FL for a debt owed to XXXX XXXX. Diversified Consultants has never contacted me in writing allowing me the right to dispute this debt, which was originally disputed back in XX/XX/XXXX when XXXX XXXX was trying to collect the debt for XXXX XXXX. The Diversified Consultants basically notified me of this debt when they placed the negative remark to the credit agencies. Back in XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a complaint against XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, complaint # XXXX, regarding the same notification practices. At that time, the complaint was resolved by the debt being disputed, the negative remarks deleted from my credit report and it being closed.
Company Response: Closed with non-monetary relief

When I left that employer I took the phone number with me and I switched to a prepaid plan with XXXX that I paid in full each month. However, XXXX says I owe them an early termination fee for the postpaid plan that I never agreed to purchase. I hav e sent three le tters to XXXX over the last two years but they will not return any of my letters. They have sent the matter to their collection agencies who pester me with letters. I want the letters to stop and I want XXXX off of my credit report.

Complaint: Sent certified mail on XXXX/XXXX/2017 to debt collector asking for proof that I owe the collection that is on my credit reports. The company signed for the documents on XXXX/XXXX/2017, in which I informed them that I had no contract with their company and the collection showing on XXXX XXXX and XXXX was not mine and is a fraudulent account. This company did not try to communicate with me via mail and reported to the credit bureaus without following the rules pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809. This should not have been put on my credit without any prior contact. I have attached the letter that was sent to the collection agency to this complaint.

Attempted to collect wrong amount
Complaint: On X/X/17 I called to inquire about paying off of debt of {$1100.00} wit h Diversified Consultants. I let the representative know that the account went into collection because I had opened the account for my ex-boyfriend who failed to pay the bill. I asked the representative if I could pay the amount in full, would the collection be removed from my report. He took notes and let me know that the collection would be removed from my report " immediately '' after I paid. I let him know that I would be calling them back to make a payment after making arrangements with my husband. <P/> On X/X/17 I called to make the payment and inquire about settling. We made a settlement agreement for {$720.00} with the representative and her supervisor. I then asked if paid, would the collection be removed from my report. She let me know that it would be updated as " settled in full '' so I then asked if I paid for it in its totality, would it be removed. She let me know that it would be reported as " paid in full '', but not removed. I let her know that the previous representative told me it would be removed if paid. So she let me speak to her supervisor who explained the same thing. I then let them know that I will call them back after making a decision to pay in full or settle in full after speaking to our mortgage loan credit specialist. <P/> On X/X/17 I called to make sure the settlement still stood since I had n't made the decision to pay in full or settle in full. The representative let me know that he would take note of it and the {$720.00} still stood. <P/> On X/X/17 the representative gave me the dates and names of representatives that I had previously spoken with. I called to let the company know that I was going to make a complaint since I was told previously that the collection would be removed after paying, and now they were going back on their word.
