Consumer Narrative
Hi, I was a client of XXXX XXXX XXXX. I paid off a negotiated debt to XXXX XXXX with my final payment being made on XXXX. The XXXX XXXX XXXX website shows that my debt is cleared and that I graduated their program. Shortly after that I received a letter from a company called XXXX XXXX saying I owed them the full amout of that debt.I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX and they told me it was fine, and would adjust in the next few days. It didn't. I called the number on the collection letter. They looked up my account and provided me with a Paid in Full Letter. I'm currently trying to get a good interest rate on a mortgage loan. I submitted the Credit Control Paid in Full letter to my lender. They have a Rapid Rescore Department and are willing to work with me. The Rapid Rescore Department said they could not accept the Paid in Full letter because it's from Credit Control and not XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is the company that reported a collection to the credit bureaus. The Credit Control letter was signed by a collections supervisor and I can provide his name and also the Paid in Full letter. I called XXXX XXXX. They said I owed the money and asked who was the company saying it was paid. When I told them Credit Control, I was informed that Credit Control is one of their companies. They said they would contact them and if they showed that I paid the debt, they would provide a Paid in Full letter and also remove the collection from my credit report. Since then I received another letter from XXXX XXXX saying I now have to pay more, and the new bill exceeds {$1800.00}, This is almost {$600.00} more than what they originally said I owed in XXXX. I have since called them numerous times and was elevated to a manager on three separate occasions. The managers, first name only, and I can provide those first names, always say they will be able to resolve the issue in 72 hours and will get back to me. They say they can't call Credit Control about it, even though Credit Control is their company. They said they have a process and I need to wait. I have never heard of Credit Control or XXXX XXXX prior to this. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX again to see if they would help me. I was told that I have a letter from Credit Control saying the debt was paid and that's as far as their obligation to me goes. In the meantime, I'm trying to close on a house. I will have to pay a higher interest rate if this can't be fixed. Houses are so expensive and any decrease in an interest rate is important. I hope you can help me. THank you.
