Frequent or repeated calls
Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I made arrangements to repay my wife 's debt to Enhanced Recovery Company , LLC, XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, FL. The person I spoke to understood that the original debt to XXXX had fallen behind because my wife had become ill and the representative was sympathetic. I arranged to pay with a debit card with agreed XXXX payments over six months wherein I would call and make the payment. The first payment was taken from my bank account on Monday XXXX XXXX, 2015. Despite this, ERC called me and said that if I did not pre arrange the dates and allow them to automatically withdraw the amounts, they would continue to call me. I responded that this was not the arrangement which I had made with them and the supervisor said that she had no way of knowing what the representative had made with me. I spoke to her as the common liar that I found her to be. I intend to repay the debt. I sent them a written request on XXXX XXXX, 2015 to contact me only by mail.

Right to dispute notice not received
Complaint: Hello, A while back I had to have my credit pulled so my wife and I could get pre-approved for a home. XXXX of my credit scores were great, while XXXX was roughly XXXX. I found out that I had a delinquent balance of {$90.00} from XXXX XXXX regarding a bill I did not pay because I no longer lived at the apartment I moved out of. I canceled my cable subscription and returned my equipment and was not aware of any termination fee. That being said, I paid the collection bill right when I found out. It was for {$90.00}. That was back in XXXX 2015. Now I had my credit pulled again to refinance my car. The collection was still on my credit report as unpaid. I called XXXX and they told me to contact Enhanced Recovery Company. XXXX told me that there were XXXX open delinquent non-payments of {$90.00}. They had finally told me that I paid it off in XXXX of 2015 after telling me several times that there was no payment on that account. The reason for XXXX open cases is because they gave the collection back to XXXX XXXX and then XXXX XXXX asked for it again creating XXXX delinquencies. I was not aware of any of this during the years this has been attacking my credit. I now can not get approved for the car loan I want. They told me they can only update the file and they ca n't tel XXXX or whoever to remove it despite it being their mistake. I spoke to a XXXX XXXX at this company. I am looking for someone to get this removed from my credit report so it wo n't bring it down for 7 years. It started as a bill I had no idea about because I no longer lived at that residence and was not told about it. Then it turned into a collection that a company did not even list it as paid until yesterday. This is really hurting my credit and I am hoping the CFPB can help. I really appreciate what you do. This coming from a person that lives in the state where XXXX XXXX is my Senator knowing she played such a pivotal role at the creation being nominated. Please let me know what I can do for this collection agency to have it removed. Thank you! Sincerely, XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX
