Attempts to collect debt not owed

Debt collection: I do not know

Debt was result of identity theft
Complaint: Reporting probable organized crime scheme to create fraudulent debt instruments across the country using " front '' companies and collection of some percentage of them by the syndicate 's " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' - ( TSI ) ~XXXXTWS XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , PA XXXX TEL XXXX a pest control company solicited at my front door Some months ago I bought a house in a new neighborhood in XXXX County Texas at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX , TX XXXX. Several " ODD '' " coincidental '' things happened. For instance one day after going to lunch I returned to find mouse droppings, styrofoam & insulatio in the shower. ( THAT HAD A CLOSED SEALED GLASS DOOR. ) & some drywall shavings by the closet door ( In a poor attempt to make it look like a mouse had burrowed in through the walls - on closer inspection later it was obvious that someone used a key hole saw. ) The next day a pest control company showed up at my door soliciting services. ( A similar thing happened with a security company ) I declined both times. Several months later a pest control company - '' XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' came to the door and I agreed to allow them to spray the structure at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 1 time ONLY and specifically stated I did not want or agree to a contract. The 2 men presented a electronic tablet and said press here and sign here which I did. A month later one of their trucks showed up to again treat the structure. I said NO I do not have a contract. Later they sent me a bill to attempt to collect a fee for " cancellation of the contract '' which I never had. I mailed it back to them saying it was fraudulent. In the last few months I've recieved several telephone calls from a collection agency ( " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' ) XXXX-TWS in PA. Today the lady I spoke to said that XXXXTWS did not buy the " debt '' to collect. I believe they are in league with this scheme and they are the hub of a vast criminal syndicate using a myriad of front companies. Pest Control, Secutity, & other home services. I also have reason to believe that this encompases 2 prominent " religious orginizations '' / religions. It is a nationwide scheme involving attemptinfg to creat fraudulent debt instruments and defrauding, ( breaking & entering, ect ) buyers of new homes as well as targeting Political " opposition '' or people who have espoused views they disagree with. Either way the fact of the matter is that XXXXTWS XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX are engaged in Fraudulent behavior, ORGINIZED CRIME, and Creating Fraudulent Debt instruments and attempting to collect on them. How Many Old Ladies & other ignorant victims have they scammed. They are Obviously stealing a lot of money in this organized crime syndicate using " llegitimate '' business ' as fronts who also break the law in the fraud by Theft, Destruction of Property and Breaking and Entering.

Debt collection: I do not know

Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Complaint: The agency handling this alleged debt has repeatedly failed to provide a response to my letters of dispute and request for verification. Places the item and then removes it from my credit report and then re-ages the collection and places it back on as though it is new. I have received 3 debt collection letters regarding this alleged debt. XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. They were responded to via certified mail with return receipt on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ( I have saved copies of all correspondence however I'm not attaching here, however I will make them available upon request ). Additionally the agency removed the old collection account I had disputed repeatedly since XXXX from my credit report and placed it back on my report with an open date of XX/XX/XXXX. This is the 3rd time that they have removed and placed the alleged debt back on my credit report with an updated date. I'm currently in the process of closing on a mortgage and this has caused complications on that front. I am hiring an attorney to seek statutory and actual damages if this does not get resolved immediately but I felt that it should be reported to you as well.

Attempts to collect debt not owed

Debt collection: Medical debt

Debt is not yours
Complaint: Transworld Systems or TSI called me and called my elderly parents to collect a medical debt that I do not owe and that is not reported on my credit report. Their representative stated I owe more than {$500.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I explained that I did not owe this debt for the following reasons. About two years ago I was a passenger in a XXXX yellow cab. The cab was struck by another car. As a result, I received treatment at the hospital in XXXX XXXX, which is now a part of XXXX XXXX. I explained to the Transworld caller that if the alleged debt arose from this incident, it was not a debt that I owed. The hospital was authorized to collect payment for my treatment from the insurance companies involved in the car accident and did so. I do not know how this debt collector received my information about this debt as to my knowledge does it does not appear on my credit report. More importantly, they called my parents at their home even though I have never shared their phone number with them or XXXX XXXX XXXX Services, or the hospital. My dad is in his eighties. It is abusive for them to call my family to attempt to collect a debt, especially a debt that I do not owe. I also do not understand how they would lawfully disclose medical debt information to a third party, even if that information is inaccurate.

Complaint: I was contacted by TRANSWORLD debt collectors on XX/XX/2019 saying I owed {$7900.00} from the department of veterans affairs, which i know is false I only owe around {$6000.00}, they called saying it was an attempt to collect the debt and i proceeded to talk on the phone with them to see what we can do. they did not understand why I couldn't pay off the full amount at once and then asked if I could pay half right then and there, which I also couldn't do. they then hassled me into paying an amount I can't afford after saying numerous times that I dont have that amount of money. ( around $ XXXX/month ) they said i was on a certain kind of debt owed program and needed to take out as much money a month from me as possible. I've never heard of anything like that before, so I tried to meet them in the middle saying I could pay $ XXXX/month but they still proceeded into hassling me into paying more and will not listen to me and are taking out more than my paychecks.

Attempted to collect wrong amount
Complaint: My husband took my XXXXyr old son to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/19 as my son was ill. My husband had to leave during my son 's appointment, so I met him there and continued forward with the appointment. My son was flu positive and received prescription for XXXX. Ms. XXXX noted as my husband and I were both exposed we should consider taking XXXX XXXX. She provided prescriptions for both my husband and myself, which I filled and paid for. Subsequently, my husband and I both received {$89.00} exam bills from XXXX XXXX for the date of XX/XX/19. My insurance was billed directly but my husband was billed as un-insured as he was not in the XXXX XXXX system ( though we share the same policy ). I called XXXX XXXX to dispute the claims as billing fraud noting these services where never provided to my husband or myself. The representative confirmed they have no vital signs or notes in their system that would indicate any type of exam occurred. He reported it was likely an error on their side and would be resolved. It apparently was not resolved as the bill was turned over to a collection agency. I have paid it as XXXX XXXX correctly played the odds that I would not put in the additional effort to try to fight the collection agency. I do feel this is billing/insurance fraud. We will not utilize their services in the future and will strongly encourage others to avoid XXXX XXXX as well.
