Incorrect information on your report
Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports: Credit reporting
Account status incorrect
Complaint: This is a complaint against XXXX and the CBE Group. Together these entities have fabricated a debt which was never due, which the actual creditor has agreed in writing was never due, and then, with full knowledge that there was never any debt due, which they intentionally and willfully refused to remove from from my XXXX credit report.
As a result, for the first time in complainants XXXX years, he has been denied the extension of credit. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, explicitly stated the reason for the denial was Credit report shows recent delinquency, public record or bankruptcy. The only alleged delinquency ever in my credit report is the sham prosecuted by CBE Group and retained after notice of falsity by XXXX.
The amount XXXX and CBE Group claim is owned to CBE Groups creditor-assignor ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ) is small, {$87.00} ; and the identical, false negative report by CBE Group has been deleted by XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ) and XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), after they received the same information served on CBE Group and XXXX.
I am pursuing this complaint, however, because if ever there was an example of unscrupulous dealings this is it. CBE Groups assignor stated in writing months ago that I didnt own it anything ( XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ). CBE Group has been asked twice, in writing, to delete the inaccurate report. Instead it then verified the false report to XXXX, weeks after it wrote me stating that it had ceased collection and returned account to the creditor ( ( XX/XX/XXXX ).
Worst is what XXXX has done. It had a straightforward letter from the creditor stating I owed it nothing and another from XXXX/XXXX showing that the creditor had been paid and that I had never had a financial obligation to this creditor ( XX/XX/XXXX ). I dont know what response XXXX had from CBE Group. But even if CBE Group falsely reported that the debt was valid and unpaid, how could anyone accept that claim against the word of the actual creditor and a respected health care insurers statement that I had no debt to the creditor.
This is NOT a case of a debt that has been paid or settled. There never was a debt. That is the importance of the two year old XXXX document ( XX/XX/XXXX ). It shows that immediately after medical services were provided, XXXX and XXXX paid the health care provider ; that the provider accepted their payments as payment in full ; and that there was XXXX due from me.
Through ignorance or accident, the health care provider resurrected the claim a year and a half later and sent the unpaid claim straight to its bulldog collection agency, CBE Group. Following its standard practice CBE Group commenced by reporting this as non-payment of a two-year old debt.
When its creditor received a copy of the XXXX/XXXX document, it immediately admitted that nothing due from me ( XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ). CBE Group, however, doubled-down by reporting the claim as valid while telling me it had dropped the claim.
XXXX had to choose between two irrefutable written statements that the claimed debt was false or the unsubstantiated verification of a collection agency with perhaps the most consumer complaints on file with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ).
XXXX sided with CBE Group : The information you disputed has been verified as accurate. ( XX/XX/XXXX ) Almost worst, XXXX updated the delinquency. To give its validation the appearance of an in-depth review, it corrected the amount and raised it from {$87.00} to {$88.00}. XXXX did not even include my information to reflect that it was a disputed claim. Instead, I had to commence an entirely new process and maybe it would put my position along side that of a shyster.
If this is how the system works then the entire system is a fraud. Both XXXX and CBE Group should be held accountable.

Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Complaint: I recently checked my credit reports due to the recent XXXX breach. Based on the information I show on my report, it was opened on XX/XX/2018. It is reporting under the company CBE Group as a collection for {$400.00}. I have never heard of this company and have no idea who they are. I was never sent any notice or letters in the mail, therefore I have not had the chance to dispute this inaccurate information before being placed on my report. I want this account removed from my credit report immediately!
