Consumer Narrative
Explanation of complaint : Convergent Outsourcing Inc. is intentionally misrepresenting data in violation of the FCRA ( https : //www.ftc.gov/enforcement/statutes/fair-credit-reporting-act ). This is a clear violation of the law. Collection Agency ( COI ) Must supply all of the following documentation in an accurate and truthful manner. 1. Original Contract 2. Pay Off Disclosure 3. Interest Rate Disclosure 4. Balance History 5. Payment History 6. Credit Insurance COI is fraudulently " re-aging '' debt for the purposes of damaging credit in attempts to manipulate and coerce consumers. ( What is re-aging and can it harm your credit report? Re-aging is the term used when a debts status changes in credit reports to make them appear as a new debt. Unless a financial institution is the one doing the re-aging process after a payment agreement has been established, neither the original creditor nor a debt collector can re-age a negative account. No matter how many times a delinquent account is transferred or sold from a debt collector to another, the date of first delinquency should not change. Doing so is a severe violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). ) COI has been contacted regarding this matter and has been unresponsive. I request assistance in requiring COI to adhere to legal and ethical requirements including : 1. Deletion of the derogatory entry in any and all future reporting to any and all credit reporting agencies. 2. Supply me with all of the required documentation as required by FCRA listed above ( numbered 1-6 ) 3. Supply complete documentation regarding all entities with whom this collection action has been transmitted to so that correction and dispute actions may be completed.
