Complaint What Happened |
I've had repeated calls from different numbers by Diversified Consultants trying to reach me the last few weeks. They've been very evasive and/or defensive whenever I ask questions as to who they are. Some have refused to tell me who they work for, some of them tell me they think their first & last name is good enough, even though I don't know their names. I've told them today, XX/XX/XXXX, to send me a letter in the mail if it's really personal. He got really defensive and rude over it, telling me he told me his first and last name. I've looked at my credit history on XXXX XXXX & i'm not seeing anything from this debt collector on there.

Complaint What Happened |
Attached are the images supporting my description of the problem : I received a letter from Diversified Consultants, Inc dated XXXX XXXX XXXX on the XXXX of XXXX XXXX. It said if I did n't contact them within 30 days they " assume the debt was valid ''.
I called them on XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. I refused to give them the phone number I was calling from, my DOB, my SSN, my email, my mailing address or any verifying information other than the account number with their institution. I was told that without additional information they could not help me.
It is a falsified debt. I refuse to agree to allow them to XXXX from me. This is illegal and against the rights of an ID Theft victim.
This XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX' is totally bogus and a scam. Saying I " May '' be eligible for a XXXX} credit card from XXXX XXXX XXXX. " Click here to complete a survey and you may receive ... .. '' These are electronic theft tactics.
This is the third debt collection agency who has submitted a falsified debt for a " XXXX XXXX XXXX ; however the email from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX division, dated XXXX XXXX, the day after I received the email the account was opened, XXXX, which states it is fraudulent if it is NOT sent to an XXXX XXXX XXXX' domain -- - then I do not have an XXXX XXXX XXXX account. They gave explicit instructions and I followed them. I have enclosed the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Department email. Perhaps DCI would be wise to read and follow their instructions for discerning " real '' vs " fake '' XXXX XXXX XXXX accounts in the future before threatening to collect and claim a " debt is valid unless we hear from you in 30 days ''. I hold no malice against XXXX XXXX XXXX. They are a fine XXXX XXXX organisation If I had an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account, the email would NOT have been sent to a XXXX email account. Communication would have been have been sent to an XXXX XXXX XXXX account. That is what I tried to tell DCI when I attempted to make those three XXXX XXXX ) phone calls to save them the embarrassment of being made to look ridiculous and lacking in fiduciary skills. They refused. To fall within their demand of thirty ( 30 ) days, I have no other recourse except to file a complaint as A FALSIFIED DEBT COLLECTION MADE BY A DEBT COLLECTOR against Diversified Consultants , Inc .
Thank you very much CFPB for providing a vehicle to post and share our experiences so that others can learn and we can learn how to protect ourselves from these greedy people who take advantage of the internet theft and protect ID Theft victims.

Complaint What Happened |
I am a longtime customer of XXXX. I had all of my phone, TV and internet service with them. In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a bill for XX/XX/XXXX that was increased. I called to find out why and was told that the TV package had increased in price. I asked them if there was a promotion or discount to continue the service as-is and was told no. Not wanting to pay more for TV service, I contacted XXXX for a quote on TV, home phone and internet access and based on the lower quote than XXXX I decided to transfer my service to XXXX. I also contacted XXXX and transferred my cell phone service to them. I called XXXX to transfer my cell phone # to XXXX. I subsequently ordered all services with XXXX cancelled. I returned the XXXX router, DVR and modem to XXXX using XXXX shipping information provided by XXXX. I thought that by returning the equipment and cancelling the services that I was done with XXXX. Unfortunately I continued to be billed for XXXX services for TV, home phone and internet, even though I had cancelled the service, returned the equipment making it impossible to access the XXXX service, and had transferred my service to XXXX and XXXX. Today I received a threatening phone call from a collection agency claiming that I had not cancelled the XXXX services and owed @ {$500.00}. They said that a 'good consumer ' like me should not want an account in collections, and while the information had not been reported to the credit reporting agencies, that it was in my interests to resolve this by PAYING THE DISPUTED AMOUNT AND REQUESTING A REFUND FROM ATT once the dispute was resolved! This sounds ridiculous to me and is tantamount to a con. I told the collection agent that I would be contacting the CFPB to file a complaint. I really feel that large companies like XXXX make it difficult for consumers to cancel services, and even when cancelled and no services received by the consumer, continue to bill them so that XXXX can inflate its customer base and revenues. Today I received another phone call from another debt collector for this account. Specifically, I was called by Diversified Consultants, Inc. ( DCI ), to collect {$450.00} on behalf of XXXX. DCI 's reference # for this account is XXXX. They were polite and asked that I submit a dispute on their website www.dcicollect.com, which I will do. I told them that I would be filing this complaint with the CFPB as well.

Complaint What Happened |
Apparently, an account was opened in my name before I turned XXXX ( legal age to assume debt ). I reached out to this agency to find out why they allowed an account to be opened in my name and not check the date of birth to ensure it was legal? The representative advised the information would be corrected and deleted from my credit report. Since this was a trusted family member who opened the account, I chose not to pursue legal measures. However, I STILL paid the balance owed of {$180.00} to the original creditor ( XXXX XXXX ) to clear my name etc. Records will show that I was not an adult when this account was opened.

I checked my personal XXXX credit report, and I have notice negative account on my credit report that I do not have a contract with. I first contacted these furnishers of the account, with a few of them giving me the runaround. I asked them to remove their account from my credit profile and I have gotten nowhere and this is not right. By law per the FCRA you are required to verify through the physical validation of the original signed consumer document. I request that you initiate an investigation into the below accounts on my credit report. If, once your investigation is complete, you find my allegation to be true, please remove the accounts and send me an updated copy of my credit report. Diversified Consultant XX/XX/2019, XXXX. If you find the account referenced above to be valid thru physical validation, please send me a description of the procedures used in your investigation within 15 business days of the completion of the investigation. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Complaint What Happened |
Last year a complaint was filed against XXXX, and now the same debt appears on my credit but under a different collection company, " Diversified consultants ''.
I have no knowledge of this, I have never done business with XXXX ( and never will after this ).
I have been living at the same address for 28 years with the same phone number for over 12 years, I have never been contacted on this matter.
The only reason I am aware is because I check XXXX XXXX and I have automatic notification every month.

Complaint What Happened |
Previously, contact was made with Diversified Consultants Inc in regards to a XXXX Account XXXX. I have sent letters and requests that they validate, not verify a debt that they are attempting to collect from me. I specifically asked for a signed agreement and other supporting documentation. All I receive from Diversified Consultants is copies of old bills as their form of validation which does not sufficiently prove that I am obligated to pay them anything. They have reported delinquent and incorrect information that I am asking to be removed.

I sent out a letter to diversified consultant ( around XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX ) that I never had a debt of approximately {$1000.00} from a XXXX account because I never had service with XXXX. they sent me a random phone bill with a number I never owned. they removed it off of my account for one day in XX/XX/XXXX but was added back. they refuse to delete this account! Clearly I have been a victim of fraud and they can not prove this is my debt.

Diversified Consultant is reporting to the credit bureau that I owe a XXXX account in the amount of {$980.00}. Accounting to my credit report the account was open X/X/2015. I have never had an account with XXXX. I have ask for Diversified Consultant over 5 times to validate the debt and they have failed to do so. My rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) states I have the right to request the creditor to prove that the account belongs to me. Diversified Consultant has not done so. The only information they have been able to provide is a computer print out of a XXXX bill. This information does n't proves it belong to me nor does it proves I have a signed agreement with the creditor.

Complaint What Happened |
Diversified Consultants, a collection service in XXXX, FL, popped up on my credit file as a collections on XX/XX/18. The original creditor listed was XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$740.00}. I called Diversified and informed their grossly impolite agent ( XXXX somebody ) that the debt was not mine, but my daughter 's debt at her old college address. I never lived at the address, never ordered service at the address, never received an invoice for the {$740.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX.
I do maintain an XXXX XXXX XXXX account in good standing at my address in XXXX XXXX, FL, for the last 3 years.
My daughter was contacted by XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/2018, regarding the balance owed, but the service dates, address listed as the service address, and amount owed were all incorrect. She requested XXXX XXXX XXXX conduct a premise research into the matter to confirm the correct address and service dates, thereby allowing XXXX XXXX XXXX to revise their statement. That was the last interaction she had with XXXX XXXX XXXX, they never contacted her again, certainly never contacted me as it was not my bill to begin with.
Lastly, I can make a very informed observation about XXXX XXXX XXXX 's customer service and billing departments as I've consistently ( almost monthly ) had errors committed in terms of which services I'm billed for, discount programs I'm promised on the phone that don't carry forward to the invoice ... .terrible customer service and billing reps.
