Direc Management INC has been inaccurately and unfairly reporting a joint account which they claimed I am remain in debt too. The beginning amount owed, according to their reporting, was {$1800.00} dating back to XX/XX/XXXX. Since this time Direc Management INC has increased the balance by {$5.00} each month in an attempt to cause further harm to our ability to earn new credit and receive the best interest rates available. The current balance as of XX/XX/XXXX is {$2300.00}. My first attempt was received on XX/XX/XXXX via certified mail USPS ( XXXX ). Direc Management INC responded on XX/XX/XXXX by sending an itemized document, as per FTC opinion letter from Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX, a printout of a bill or itemized document does not constitute verification. Therefore Direc Management INC failed to provide a copy of any viable evidence, bearing my signature, showing the account is being reported accurately. The itemized documents, sent to me and the co-applicant, contained conflicting dates of first delinquency and amounts claimed owed. A second attempt was delivered via certified mail USPS ( XXXX ) to Direc Management INC on XX/XX/XXXX, again requesting validation and, additionally, names and addresses of each person who personally verified this alleged account. Direc Management INC failed to respond. Laws I can potential files suit for : 1 ) Metro 2 Compliance 2 ) US Court of Appeals - XXXX XXXX, No. XXXX, XXXX vs. XXXX XXXX 3 ) FCRA Section 623, FCRA Section 605 ( c ) 4 ) FDCPA Section 809 ( b ) FTC opinion letter XXXX From XXXX. FCRA rules allow for up to {$1000.00} per violation. Small claims actions are not allowed to cover attorney fees.

I recently found a past due debt listed on my XXXX credit report. It was not listed on XXXX or XXXX and as I recall was not listed on my last XXXX report. I contacted the debt collection agency ( Direc Management Inc, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX AL XXXX XXXX ) The debt according to them was for XXXX Hospital in XXXX County AL in the name of XXXX XXXX , DOB XXXX, amount {$320.00}. I have never been to XXXX Hospital as a patient and have never received medical care from them. My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX /DOB XXXX. Apparently they have reported a debt incurred by my son ( XXXX XXXX DOB XXXX ) on my credit report. He is an adult and has not lived with me since he was XXXX years old and I am not responsible for his debts and have never agreed with any agency, company or entity to be responsible for his debts. At the time the debt was incurred he was XXXX XXXX XXXX. I informed the person at Direc of this and she stated that I was responsible for the debt because he was my son. She maintained this position even after I told her my DOB ( XXXX not XXXX ) and that he was an adult who did live with me and that I was not responsible for any debt he incurred. This is a fraudulent attempt to collect money from a party not responsible for the underlying debt and the use of improper strong arm methods by placing false information on my credit report so as to force me to pay a false debt to protect my credit rating

Th payments from the co borrower was late from the very begining, and a couple times was delinquent as much as 120 days. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on more than one occasion including going in person in order to try and get the truck or assistance in getting the bank to get it back i was willing at the time to take over payments. I was told no they would'nt do it. this went on several years at the same time my credit was destroyed Sometime later Mr XXXX voluntary reposessed the truck and was left with a debt of more than XXXX. Now mind you the vehicle started out at XXXX. and for several years he made payments on time. My complaint today is that amount of collection that i am being sued for is not right. I reached out to the bank over and over for help in resolving this matter. The bank official that i was dealing was racist and treated me very disrespectful.I went and sat down with then president of the bank twice and he assured me that they would be going only after Mr XXXX. My wife has been fighting XXXX XXXX and i told them about our financial hardships. I feel like victim when over and over i tried to work with the bank to resolve this. My credit has been destroyed and i think thats punishment enough for my good deed.

I am writing to request that you immediately cease reporting any information to the credit bureaus regarding the alleged debt you claim I owe until you have fully verified the debt in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). In addition to the above, I urge you to provide me with the original contract bearing my signature and that of the original creditor, as well as the bill of assignment. Please ensure that any accommodations granted are reflected in the original contract or bill of assignment. Furthermore, I demand that you provide me with evidence of the license to collect in Alabama, if any insurance has been filed on this debt by the original creditor, and if a 1099-C has been filed. Finally, I urge you to provide errors and omissions insurance. I hope that you will be able to supply all the required information promptly. If you fail to comply with any of the above requests, I will consider taking legal action against you in future. The date last active for XXXX is XX/XX/2023 and date last active for XXXX is showing XX/XX/2023. This shows discrepancies to lenders.. Why the date last reported for XXXX is showing XX/XX/2023. The date last reported for XXXX is showing XX/XX/2023. The comment by your company states '' Charged Off Account '' which means you need to send me a 1099c form.

I received information from you attempting to collect the above-listed alleged debt. Your initial communication to me of the alleged-debt was within 30 days ago. Please be further advised, I dispute the validity of the alleged debt in its entirety. Further I request verification of the alleged debt, including, the name and address of the original creditor, along with a copy of a signed contract with the creditor. Wheres my HIPPA release form? I am aware that you have directly violated the regulations of the HIPAA Act of 1996. I never signed a HIPAA form to authorize your company to have access to my medical records or procedures that I went through. Additionally any attempts to harm my credit history and rating by updating or changing dates after you have been informed that the debt is expired, is a direct violation of the FDCPA. Any abuse to my credit rating on your part will be met with all recourse available to me by the law. You are illegally attempting to collect an alleged debt and money that I do not owe. As per the law, cease and desist all collection activity, including credit reporting.

Repeated calls from a debt collector to myself and my spouse during work hours. On XX/XX/2021 I answered a call from XXXX from Direct Management and was speaking to a woman who would not identify herself just who she was calling for and the debt she was calling about. After she explained her side she asked for me to set up an agreement to settle the matter which I never do over the phone since being a victim of identity theft. I asked for an itemized bill and their contact information so that I could set something up and woman began to repeatedly tell me me that I was trying to avoid paying my bill and put it off longer, and that she was going to make note of it on my account if I wasnt going to make an arrangement at which time I told her I needed her name and I wanted to speak to a supervisor. She didnt give me her name but transferred me to a supervisor. At first the supervisor told me it was XXXX XXXX and when I mentioned that to would be reporting the contact for being oppressive and harassing he told me it was XXXX XXXX that I spoke to. I then ended the call.

I had had enough and called the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to inspect the unit and they determined I did not cause this issue.

On XX/XX/XXXX a lady named XXXX XXXX employed by Direct Management called my cell phone for collection of a debt that I have repeatedly reported as not owed. I had no balance due on my dental account when I changed dental facilities. On XX/XX/XXXX, she proceeded to recite my confidential dental records and threatened to forward them to my coworkers. She also threatened legal action. She is very harassing and intent that this is a valid debt. I have repeatedly asked for her not to contact me again as she is rude, pushy, and down right insulting in the manner of which she speaks with people. The debt she is attempting to collect is less than {$500.00}, our house hold income is nearly {$200000.00} per year so the ability to pay is not in question. It is a debt I do not owe. I have reported her HIPPA violations separately as she should not have access to my confidential medical records nor should she threaten to expose them to my coworkers.

I have requested verification/validation of the debt or removal twice. Once I requested the informati on Direct Management colle ction agency letter back to me saying they did not believe it was me so they would not respond or verify. So, I sent another letter requesting the same information and got it notarized to prove that it was me requesting information with my signature on it and stamped by a notary. But, they still sent the same response back to me by refusing to verify/validate by saying they do not think I am the person requesting the information. I felt me getting my letter notarized would definitely prove to them that I am the one who is writing a letter requesting information.

The latest credit report I checked still shows that this account is being reported inaccurately and incorrectly, despite that I sent previous dispute letters to your agency. This account is being reported reflecting multiple " violation '' statements. I don't believe the status of this account is accurate. I urge your agency to reinvestigate this account and ensure that correct, fair, and complete reporting is given. I demand proof that you went through all the proper and logical steps that would have been necessary to validate or refute my dispute. If your agency is unable to do so, I demand that this account be removed from my credit report.

I have no knowledge of these companies and they shouldnt be reporting as I never gave permission for the reporting per Section 1681a -I sent correspondence to the Credit Bureaus regarding this. I was never notified in writing per 15 U.S.C 1692ag prior to accounts being on my credit report, within 5 days. Moreover, these accounts violate debt collections, and abusive and unfair practices per section 1692f ( 1 ) adding additional amounts.

I have gotten an alert on my credit report that a collection was added. I looked at this collection and they say I owe XXXX. I do not owe any agency nor bank {$19000.00}. I did not receive any notice showing that I owe this debt. If this debt was purchased then I would like to see the full contract of this debt showing the amount that was purchased and what they paid for it. I would also like to see what fees are being attached to this. I never signed any contracts for this amount and If there were any contracts that was signed for this amount then I am considering this to be fraudulent.

I have reached out to this company no less than three times. They have failed to provide proper validation, and continue to report the account in error. Account number is reported with symbols. Account status is not in compliance. It has not been 12 months since the original date of service. This is considered a HIPAA violation, as I gave neither party permission to share my medical records. Furthermore, this account is under {$500.00}, and there is no original creditor listed. Surprise billing act has also been violated.

On XXXX XXXX, 2017 Direct Management placed an account for the amount of {$950.00} on my credit report in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Direct Managment failed to notify me and provide adequate documantation to validate the debt is mine prior to placing it on my credit report. I have no knowledge of the account Direct Managment is attempting to collect on. Furthermore, this dept appears to be of a medical nature. If this debt has derived from my medical history, it is in violation of HIPAA.
