Talked to a third-party about your debt
Complaint: In a phone call on XXXX XXXX, 2017 two TransWorld representatives stated they will not discuss parking tickets in collections associated with a vehicle I own.

Seized or attempted to seize your property
Complaint: I started having communication with XXXX XXXX XXXX years ago ( ca n't recall exact date ) when they acquired my account. I tried to arrange payments, but they wanted {$2000.00} before they would speak to me. If I had that, I would not have been in this position in the first place. My original loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX was for {$25000.00}. They came in with a figure of {$29000.00}. After taking me to court, we had settled on a no-interest payment plan. We also had my father removed from the loan as his signature was not legit and was on this document. With hardships at work, I could not afford the payment. After a few months, I received a letter that my payments were to be made to the XXXX County Sheriffs Department. It was to be 10 % of my weekly gross pay. I was paying {$50.00} a week, but had to by Certified Check or Money Order. This was costing me about {$55.00} a month. After sometime, it be came difficult to pay on my low salary with my other bills. After a few more months, my salary was garnished to collect fees weekly, leaving my strapped once again. I had since left that career and sent payment when I could to the XXXX Department. Last payment was for {$50.00} plus a {$10.00} bank fee for a Certified Check and that was on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter stating " We are in the process of searching for assists to satisfy the judgement against you. If non-exempt assists are located, we may send the judgement to an enforcement officer for execution against said assists, unless we can make a satisfactory arrangement to resolve this matter ... '' To try and avoid this, I made an online payment to XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$25.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I also sent an email to try and make an arrangement to avoid any more harassment or enforcement attempts against me.

Complaint: Have been trying to resolve a debt with Transworld Systems , Inc. ( TSIXXXX ) but am unable to get anyone to help me. This debt was settled with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX 2017 and I have called Transworld at least 5 times only to be referred to their " legal team '' which then routes the call to XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX who tells me the account is settled. Each time I call Transworld, the person answering the phone refuses to let me speak to any other person besides their " legal department '' which immediate refers to XXXX. The people at XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX have been very nice and accommodating, but they reply that they have marked my account as closed and there is nothing further they can do on their end, and they encourage me to call Transworld Systems Inc. I am becoming very frustrated as I have not received any documents in the mail from Transworld saying there is any balance owed, but it is showing an open collections account on my credit report. I have tried for weeks to contact each company and figure out what to do. I have followed up with Transworld, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and no one is helping me. There is no contact information for XXXX XXXX XXXX to follow up with them, and I have no received any communication from any of these places to figure out what the steps are to get this debt resolved.
