Consumer Narrative
Medical debt was paid on XX/XX/2021. When payment was remitted to Transworld Systems also known as TSI they agreed to delete the record from my report but later refused after payment was remitted. I filed a complaint with CFPB against TSI on XX/XX/2021. On XX/XX/2021 TSI sent a letter admitting the account was paid and that theyve asked the credit bureaus to delete the account. A representative from XXXX said the debt was verified as belonging to me on XX/XX/2021 which is after TSI claims to have requested deletion of the record. I was able to ascertain that TSI had in fact not requested my record be deleted but instead transferred the account to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to prevent the record from being deleted. Attached you will find the CFPB complaint response letter and also a screenshot of my credit report from XX/XX/2021 showing the debt now being reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX under the CR code XXXX. This is another blatant illegal act and a deliberate attempt to continue reporting false information. I have retained legal counsel and will move forward with litigation against all parties complicit in any, and all attempts to continue to report/collect on this fully satisfied account. Furthermore XXXX was furnished a copy of the CFPB complaint response letter. I submitted a dispute online. I spoke with an agent named XXXX who refused to forward the dispute to TSI stating that XXXX would instead be reviewing information it had received from sources and that the TSI collection would not be removed. I advised him that he should consult with someone from XXXX legal. After being placed on hold for approximately 10 minutes XXXX informed me that the record would not be removed and legal approved his course of action. They would continue with their dispute process. This is egregious. XXXX is allowing a paid debt to be transferred to a proxy agency for purposes of continuing to violate my rights under the FCRA. If XXXX is allowed to take such drastic and illegal actions to knowingly and deliberately damage my financial well-being then the I will never be afforded the financial growth and reconciliation Ive worked for nearly 4 years to achieve. Every day this continues my business is incurring irrevocable financial damage. If immediate action is not taken to correct this fraudulent attempt to ruin my credit I will seek civil damages.
