Disclosure verification of debt

Debt collection: Credit card

Right to dispute notice not received
Complaint: I held an XXXX credit card while XXXX XXXX military that was unknowingly written off to TransWorld Systems Inc ( TSI ). TSI has garnished my federal tax returns without a court order and refuses to send me any information regarding my account. I have asked repeatedly over the last 18 months for a written statement disclosing my account number, monthly fees, interest rate and current balance. I have yet to receive anything, yet my account balance is still raising astronomically each month. I have spoken with a lawyer regarding the unlawful tax garnishment, but was told I can not do anything about it. TSI has deceptive debt collection practices and is ruining my credit no matter how hard I try to resolve the issue.

Complaint: Medical Billing XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX To whom it may concern : This letter is to complain about XXXX bills I recently received from XXXX. I called XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2016, to find out how to deal with a problem I 've had with these XXXX bills. The XXXX police handcuffed me and forced me to the hospital because I was XXXX. When I arrived at the hospital, they handcuffed me to a chair while some staff asked me some basic profile questions. The cops then proceeded to take me to the XXXX where I met the XXXX who finally XXXX. The XXXX took me into a plain office and just gave me a tissue and asked me a couple questions about my profile. After five minutes, I was told to wait outside while the cops casually planted themselves in chairs to relax thinking they would be there a long time. The XXXX said I was fine to go and the cops quite surprised, proceeded to handcuff me and make me wait upstairs while they went to the cafeteria to get food. At this point, I had not eaten all day and just thought how my friends and family were probably wondering where I was. I realized I was taken to the hospital so the officers can get food and relax while I just got a XXXX. Less than one hour was spent at the hospital where most of the time was spent with me waiting handcuffed or watching the cops get food. I spent only fifteen minutes or less to myself in a XXXX and answer a couple questions and I refuse to believe any of that qualifies for an emergency room bill for {$1600.00} and emergency visit for {$140.00}. It is completely absurd and outrageous considering neither was any emergency at all and all I was given was a XXXX. After I had been on hold for several minutes, a representative came on the line. I tried to explain my problem to her several times and she interrupted me to say she could not help me and to write a letter explaining my situation. Needless to say, I was quite frustrated. I do not want to spend any more time on this problem and I am including these XXXX bills to be cancelled. I will be informing my friends, family, lawyers, and if necessary, forwarding all this information to the executive staff of this company and NY XXXX XXXX XXXX about this matter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Dealing with my lender or servicer

Student loan: Non-federal student loan

Don't agree with fees charged
Complaint: I was contacted by Transworld Systems Inc. about a default student loan debt they are attempting to collect on for XXXX XXXX XXXX. My original loan amount was for {$11000.00} and they are claiming I have a balance of {$17000.00}. I asked what I need to do to dispute this debt amount and they would not share that information. I also asked the representative the date this debt went into default and the time-barr status, he refused multiple times to give me this information. After the representative asked how I intended to take care of this balance I informed him that I would not be making any activity on this account until they verified this debt by sending me the appropriate documents through the mail. I provided him with my address where they can send me the documents and 18 days have passed, I have received nothing. He also asked me what my annual income was and wanted the address of my employer, I told him I was not comfortable sharing this information. I received another collection call a few days later with the same routine and I reminded them that they are required to mail me verification of the debt within 5 days. I told the representative that I did not want to receive any more calls until they mail me verification of the debt. They have called 2 more times since then, but I declined to answer the phone. They have ignored my requests for documents and refused to share information on the account with me multiple times. I can not do business with or make payments with a collection agency who conducts themselves this way.

Can't repay my loan

Student loan: Non-federal student loan

Can't get flexible payment options
Complaint: I took out private student loans when I was in college. My grandmother was the co-signer. She got down and ill and passed away and all the student loan debt fell on me. I just could not afford to pay it. I 'm a mother of XXXX children living pay check to pay check. My student loan debt is more than my salary. I went to college to try and get out of property, but now I 'm just another person in property with a XXXX degree. This bondage has to be removed. Now my wages are being garnished and I do n't have enough money to provide for me and my kids needs. Please help. There has to be better way to handle this student loan debt. I want to pay them, I just can not pay that much at this time. I 'm being garnished almost {$700.00} a month. This is awful.

Complaint: Keep receiving a bill from Transworld Systems for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have asked for records, not just a bill or collection notice. I have no record of using this company - and I have no idea who they are. Then to send me a bill for {$440.00} after 8 months is bad practice and bad faith. In addition - I have requested these detailed records 4 times!!! I have never received them - just another bill/collection notice

Complaint: Debt was reported to the credit agency, no contact information.

He then proceed to tell me how embarrassed I should be and I could be sued and my wages garnished if I did not pay. Or if I wanted to have the derogatory mark on my credit for 7 years he would see to it.

Complaint: Sent Transworld Sys Inc. a letter after discussing the matter with XXXX at TSI XXXX XXXX ). It is not my debt, someone with same name but clearly younger than me and a different Social Security Number. They replied to my letter of XXXX 2016 saying that it was unclear if I owed this or not so it could not be removed. I viewed my free credit report early this year so I can not access the report to contest the claim.
