Attempted to collect wrong amount
Complaint: My wife rented a car from XXXX. A tire blew out and the car had to be towed. To our shock, we both saw the car with the flat, more than 14 days later, XXXX produced pictures of damaging they say totaled more than {$3000.00}. We demanded pictures and proof from the next day. Never produced. We demanded our insurance company call " bull '' on the attempt to fleece them and ultimately damage us with a higher insurance premium. XXXX XXXX did not, to our chagrin, and paid all but the deductible of {$250.00}. We have paid it to avoid a report on the credit bureau since a bill collector is chasing us now. I am a XXXX ( XXXX ). I see true value in your mission based on these continuing attempts and successes of businesses candidly XXXX consumers unfairly and without conscience. In particular, we have heard too many stories of car rental companies fleecing thousands of dollars from its clients. Enough is enough. Thanks for viewing.

Debt resulted from identity theft
Complaint: I am a victim of identity theft. Several years ago my bank, XXXX, had a data breach. My sensitive information including name, social security number, date of birth and address were sent to over XXXX people. Several accounts were open in my name without my knowledge or consent. This account was opened as a result of this identity theft. I have attached documentation regarding the identity theft directly from XXXX XXXX which includes a contact number that any third party may call to validate my claim of identity theft. I have also attached documentation from another collection agency that investigated my claim of identity theft and found that identity theft did indeed happen and deleted the account from their records.

Debt collection: Medical

Debt was paid
Complaint: XXXX XXXX charged us incorrectly for our XXXX visits. We had explained prior about this issue and they did not want to work with us. They forwarded the debt to XXXX and XXXX demanded {$600.00} per month which would have made us homeless and starving. I also explained to XXXX the problem and were unwilling to work with us, called several times a day, even 2 to 3 times in one hour. They forwarded our debt to an attorney ( XXXX ), was told they figured a deal, was only made aware of XXXX account and was supposed to be paid off XXXX XXXX, was told the accounts just showed up out of no where. XXXX XXXX was supposed to charge the VA medical center in XXXX for my XXXX visit. I am a XXXX vet. They also put my daughter as my husbands spouse with the wrong birthdate. Husband and daughter were charged for procedures not done.

Debt is not mine
Complaint: XXXX failed to deliver a package I had shipped with them. When I tried to get an explanation, they concluded that I had abandoned the shipment and they closed the case without notifying me. So, I disputed the shipping charges on my credit card. A few months later, I received a bill from XXXX for the shipping amount. I opened a case with XXXX to dispute the bill and ask for a refund on the value of my package. They did not respond at all and set a debt collector ( Transworld Systems ) on me. When I called XXXX about this, they tried to confuse the issue and eventually just hung up on me. So now I have no recourse to fair treatment and the corporation is using its power to harass me into paying for a service they failed to render.

Talked to a third party about my debt
Complaint: I XXXX. I received a call from Trans World Systems XXXX at approximately XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. They asked for a specific person, who I did not know and never heard of and I told them this was a business and I knew of no such person. She proceeded to tell me I was being recorded and did I know this person and this was not a business it was a personal phone number. This person needs to be fired as this company obviously does not know the rules. I always answer XXXX XXXX XXXX. The club has no debt and no employees. This is a very aggressive individual who does not listen. I do not need this company calling a business while I have customers. I want her fired for failure to listen. If someone tells her they called a business, she should listen and she should not try to press forward with obnoxious questions about someone I do n't know.
