Complaint What Happened I made a payment via money order to XXXX XXXX & they claim I never made a payment. Not only that but this debt is from XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX has now decided to send this debt to a credit collection company as a XX/XX/XXXX debt on top of claiming that I never paid them. I have had issues with them in the past including a {$600.00} bill from an old residence that I requested have it 's service terminated. They were unable to get in to suspend service so they charged me for three months service without informing me they were unable to get in the residence. When I asked why they did n't inform me that they were unable to suspend service at the old residence a representative responded with " that 's not our responsibility.

Complaint What Happened They're asking for family members, I repeatedly tell them I am not giving out information over the phone to someone I do not know. They won't tell me what it's about. They won't tell me which person they're actually looking for. When ask what it's about, they tend to just keep yelling the name of their company ( Transworld Systems ). They keep calling even though I've asked them to stop.

Complaint What Happened TRANS WORLD SYSTEMS, debt collection agency have been calling me daily claiming I owe thousands of dollars to a XXXX lab. When I told them I have never had any XXXX lab work and that this debt was either a mistake or possible identity theft, they claimed they would look into it but still insisted I make payments. They also claimed that I had made prior payments in the past which was not true. They were not able to accept that I would not make payments for a debt. that I did not owe. They were persistent and didn't seem to get the message at which point I hung up.

Complaint What Happened This complaint is about a request for personal information and a concern for identity theft. I received calls from XXXX on XX/XX/20, which my phone listed as potential spam. I answered and was told that the call was from a debt collection agency that was collecting a debt of {$100.00} from an energy company, asking me how I wanted to pay. I hung up and called the energy company ( I don't remember, it may have been XXXX XXXX ) and was told I needed the account number to check if I had an outstanding debt. I called the 855 number back, spoke to a different operator who gave me the name of the town I was living in at that time. He said he did not have the account number for the energy company. He asked for my current address and last four of the social, which I XXXX gave him. He said he was going to follow-up and mail the billing information to me. I have not received a bill yet, although my mail is currently being forwarded to a temporary address. I am fairly sure that this was a scam.

Complaint What Happened TransWorld Systems is repeatedly calling my work number and leaving a threatening message. Each time the person I am directed to speak with is different. I do not owe any debts and no commercial company with whom I do my private business would have had my work number as the main number in any case. This company is widely viewed as a scam and some online reviews state that calling the company results only in abuse and the continuation of calling.

Complaint What Happened I have received written correspondence regarding an alleged bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX via the debt collector Transworld Systems Inc. I have reached out to all of my medical providers regarding outstanding debt and have none on my record. I have not had any affect to my credit score as of yet, however I am concerned how this may potentially affect my credit, as my bill went from {$80.00} to {$300.00} in XXXX weeks. I have received XXXX letters in the mail with exorbitant interest rates on a bill that can not be traced back to any actual physician 's office. The bill in the mail looks legitimate, however when I tried to look up both companies online, I couldn't find any websites to support the legitimacy of these companies. The bills give me a space at the bottom to give credit card information and says if I just pay my bill, they will stop sending me letters in the mail.

Complaint What Happened HI Transworld Systems Inc ( TSI ) ; Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Complaint What Happened Hi, upon checking my credit files I saw I have a collection account with Transworld Systems Inc and it said the original creditor was XXXX XXXX, I reached out to all 3 credit bureaus ( certifiedd returned receipt ) and asked them for any documents they have on my file with this company, they sent me a letter saying that this account was verified as accurate by the collection company and to reached Transworld Sysytems Inc if I wanted more information. On XX/XX/2019 I sent them a certified letter asking them for any documents or bearing my signature or any contract to see if someone stole my identity or what because I have not NEVER in my life opened any account whatsoever with XXXX XXXX or this company, they have not answered any letter and keep on reporting this negative account to the credit bureaus damaging my credit file. I want to buy a home in the coming months and when I went to check my file this is what I found, now I have to litigate this knowing I have never opened any type of utility service with them or any company before. They never sent me any letter NEVER saying that I had a collection account with them nor to dispute this on 3o days, nothing at all. I want this deleted from all my credit files please. attached is the letter that i sent them.

Complaint What Happened OK so out of nowhere, I started receiving letters about debts that were owed. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received two separate letters from Transworld Systems with an attempt to collect a debt for $ XXXX. ** and then the other for $ XXXX. ** with outrageous late fees that were included with both amounts stated above. The first letter stated as of XXXX XXXX I owed $ XXXX. ** and was charged interest of $ XXXX. **, stating the total amount due was $ XXXX. ** The second letter stated as of XX/XX/XXXX, I owed $ XXXX. ** and was charged interest of $ XXXX. **, stating the total amount due was $ XXXX. ** I contacted them because I thought it was from a doctor who got shut down by the Feds for fraudulent insurance billing, but then I figured out it had nothing to do with this doctor or the practice that was shut down. The only thing they told me about the dept was that it was for services on XXXX which would be impossible for reasons I can prove. Also, I have never heard of this company, nor have I ever been sent a regular bill from them either. So I have no idea where these depts are from, nor do they belong to me. When speaking to the person on the phone, they were sarcastic and kept muting me, so it seemed no one was there or listening to what I had to say. They were unprofessional, making me think this was a scam or someone phishing for information. I pay my bills and pay them on time. So suddenly, getting two debt collector letters stating I owe some company I had never heard of over $ XXXX dollars seems like a scam. Then let 's talk about outrageous late fees on both statements ; I had never received any type of bill before this for this company, so why is this debit collector telling me I have a late fee of $ XXXX. ** with NO explanation of why there is late fee 's and where this debt is from other than a company I have never heard from. These letters ruined my day and caused me great stress and XXXX, and then when I called, they gave me no evidence or info other than services on XXXX XXXX. I did XXXX this company and they have been sued many times for I feel my privacy and personal information were violated.

Complaint What Happened I have received repeated calls from " TransWorld Systems at XXXX and XXXX regarding a debt owed to a local public college. Every time, I inform the person calling that they are contacting me on my cell phone at an inappropriate time. I have asked every time for them to cease and desist calling me, and to send me correspondence via the mail confirming who they are, information about the debt, etc. They outright refuse to do so and continue to call me - and speak rudely and unprofessionally over the phone. Even after I explain that I have instructed them multiple times to stop communicating with me over the phone and send me correspondence to my address, they continue to try to ask questions over the phone. This company, TransWorld Systems, should be fined and ordered to end these practices immediately. Companies that harass consumers and use unfair or illegal practices to collect a debt should be forced to compensate the aggrieved consumer in the amount of the debt they are attempting to collect as a penalty and deterrent against this practice.

I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.
