Attempted to collect wrong amount
Complaint: I had an account with XXXX Utilities which was bought by Transworld Systems. Transworld is reporting to XXXX that my account was placed for collection XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I left Pennsylvania in XXXX XXXX where the account was located due to XXXX XXXX. Therefore the date Transworld is reporting as the " date placed for collection is incorrect. I disputed the date with XXXX that Transworld is reporting and they refuse to update it to the correct date which would be XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX. I need the date corrected as soon as possible.

Frequent or repeated calls
Complaint: Thank you for providing this service. I have gotten repeated calls with no message left from Transworld Systems about a debt owed to a doctor. Although I live now outside of the XXXX area code, they make repeated calls often more than once during the day from different XXXX area code numbers. When I questioned the account representative about this, he replied that they have only XXXX number which is not true. XXXX XXXX XXXX over a 5 minute! time span. And I have received five calls in three days. They repeatedly change numbers and do n't leave messages. I owe money. I understand that. They should leave a message and they should not lie. I appreciate your attention to this matter. Thank you.

Complaint: The loan I currently have with UAS is not qualified for loan forgiveness. I am asking for loan forgiveness because the institution I took the loan out for was convicted of fraud and is no longer operating. UAS is not able to give me an exact reason as to why they are not willing to forgive my loan. Knowing that XXXX ripped off XXXX people. Why are federal loans being forgiven and not private ones?

Dayton, OH

Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed

Debt collection: I do not know

Debt is not mine
Complaint: For several months I 've received phone calls ( voicemail messages ) from Transworld Systems , Inc. requesting that I return the call to a person ( the name changes periodically ) to discuss payment on a debt that I owe. I keep up with my outstanding debts and I do not owe anything that a collection agency would be calling me about. I researched the company online and have found there are numerous complaints about the company and the tactics used in an attempt to collect outstanding debt. The phone number being called is a residential landline phone. Perhaps the person having this phone number prior to me has outstanding debt, but I do not. Also I purchased my house in 2010 through a foreclosure proceeding, and I suspect the person who owned the home prior to me has financial problems based on the financial transactions posted to the county Recorder 's office prior to the foreclosure and the continued mailings I receive in that person 's name that run the gambit from attempting to collect money owed to offers for vacation giveaways to gambling casino resorts. I also receive mail in the wife 's name and a son 's name that show they have continued to use this address ( now my address ). Based on the online testimonies of all those who write about this company I will not be calling this company back to inquire or set the record straight at any time in the future. It appears from the details of the writers any attempt would be useless and only empower the bullying tactics of the company. I would like the phone calls received 2-3 times per week to stop, however.

Raymond, NH

Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed

Debt collection: Medical

Debt was paid
Complaint: On or about XX/XX/XXXX, Transworld Systems reported an unpaid debt from XXXX XXXX for {$71.00} to all XXXX credit bureaus. Despite writing and contacting this company asking proof of this debt, they have never provided such proof. XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with XXXX XXXX and again ask for proof of the debt, as she did not want to provide me with the information, I asked to speak to a manager, but she kept me on hold for close to 20 minutes, only to hang up the phone on me. XX/XX/XXXX, I called and spoke to Manager, XXXX XXXX, who said that she would personally mail me proof of the debt. I gave her my mailing address and she re-assured me that she would send the information. As I did not hear from the company and because I was being denied a loan due this collection item, I decided to pay the bill, see attached. Although I paid the bill it is still being reported to all XXXX credit bureaus as a collection item. Upon contacting the company again, I was told that they do not remove collection items from any one 's credit report. I contacted the credit bureaus who informed me that this was incorrect and that the collection company simply needs to inform them that the collection item was paid in full and to delete it as a collection item. I have made several phone calls to this company and they have failed to assist me and this item still remains as a collection item on my credit bureau.
