On the XXXX of XXXX 2026, I called Transworld Systems Inc to pay my XXXX debt I had in full. They gave me a discount, and drop the total from {$450.00} to {$330.00}. I was told that once they recieved there payment, they would request a letter of receipt showing a XXXX balance and it would come in XXXX business days via email. I have called multiple times last week to see if there was anything they could give me showing a XXXX balance and they kept telling me, the email should come soon. Fast forward to the XXXX of XXXX, i still hadnt gotten an email, so i call again and speak with a supervisor that i haven't gotten any email and she tells me, oh they had just mailed it out on the XXXX, instead of emailing it. Then she says she can get me a copy of the letter and it turned out to be someone elses letter and debt situation. I need this letter by the end of tomorrow, in order for my family to get approved for a townhouse.

I am disputing an inaccurate balance being reported and collected by Transworld Systems Inc. My original debt was approximately {$6100.00} from a XXXX XXXX credit account. Beginning in XX/XX/year>, I have had wage garnishments totaling approximately {$3800.00}. In addition, my federal tax refund in the amount of {$4600.00} was offset and applied toward this debt. Despite these payments totaling approximately {$8500.00}, the account currently reflects a remaining balance of {$5500.00}. The payment history shown by the company only includes partial payments starting in XX/XX/year> and does not reflect earlier garnishments or the federal tax offset. This indicates that significant payments have not been properly applied to the account. I have already attempted to resolve this issue directly with the company and requested a full account ledger and payment history, but I have not received a complete or accurate breakdown.

I am filing this complaint against XXXX regarding an unresolved billing dispute that has resulted in wrongful collections activity and potential damage to my credit. I switched to XXXX under specific promotional terms that included reimbursement for my prior carriers equipment payoff. XXXX has failed to honor those original terms. Instead, they are now attempting to impose new conditions that were never disclosed at the time of the agreement, including requiring me to trade in my original handset or accept only 50 % of the promised reimbursement. This is a material change to the original agreement and is not acceptable. XXXX is also requiring me to provide a final billing statement from my previous carrier ( XXXX ) to verify the equipment payoff amount. However, after porting my number, I lost access to that account and can not retrieve the requested documentation.

To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this complaint regarding my experience with a creditor that I believe engaged in misleading and unclear communication, resulting in financial harm and unnecessary stress. Throughout my interactions with this company, I was not informed of all available options to resolve my account, including the possibility of negotiating a settlement. Instead, I was led to believe that making payments under their guidance would improve my situation and not negatively impact me further. Additionally, I was given assurances that my account or credit card would be reinstated upon payment. However, after complying and making payments in good faith, those assurances were not honored. The outcome was not only different from what was communicated to me, but also more damaging than I was led to expect. The representatives I dealt with were difficult to work with and did not provide clear, transparent, or accurate information.

A collection account is currently being reported on my credit file that I did not open and did not authorize. I believe this account is the result of identity theft. The account is being reported by Transworld Systems Inc on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX, with a balance of {$1000.00}, and a reported open date of XX/XX/XXXX. I first became aware of this account when reviewing my credit report. I immediately disputed the account with the credit bureau, stating that I do not recognize this account and did not open it. Despite my dispute, the account remains on my credit report and is marked only as account information disputed by consumer. Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, my disputes did not result in removal or proper verification of this account. It appears that the investigation conducted was insufficient and may have relied on automated verification rather than a reasonable investigation.

Transworld Systems Inc. ( TSI ) is attempting to collect a balance from XXXX XXXX ( Account No. XXXX ) that I dispute. I requested full validation of the debt, including proof of the balance, detailed billing records, all applied payments and credits, and any documentation showing that TSI has the legal authority to collect on behalf of XXXX XXXX. TSI responded to my previous complaint by providing only a summary statement and claimed validation, without including any supporting documentation. They did not provide meter readings, a full billing history, or proof of payments or credits applied. Because of this, the balance they claim may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable. Despite my requests, the account remains on my credit report and continues to be reported without proper verification. I do not have any agreement or signed contract with TSI and have never authorized them to collect this debt.

I previously disputed this account and requested proper validation. In response, Transworld Systems Inc. sent a letter dated XX/XX/year>, claiming to provide validation. However, the only documentation provided was a Move Out Statement, which is merely an internal accounting summary and does not constitute legally sufficient validation of a debt. Specifically, the company failed to provide : - A signed agreement establishing that I legally incurred the debt - Any documentation demonstrating legal ownership or assignment of the debt - A complete and verifiable payment history Despite failing to provide proper validation, Transworld Systems Inc. continued collection efforts, including sending a settlement offer dated XX/XX/year>.

To Whom It May Concern, This letter serves as a formal follow-up to my previous Cease and Desist and Debt Validation Demand Letter regarding the above-referenced account. Despite my lawful demand made pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1692g of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), your agency has failed to provide adequate legal validation of the alleged debt. Instead, you responded with a generic summary of charges or statement balance, which does not satisfy the federal requirements for debt validation. Your failure to provide the following constitutes noncompliance : 1. A copy of the original signed contract or agreement bearing my signature ; 2. A full chain of title including all assignments and transfers of the alleged debt ; 3. A bill of sale or purchase agreement proving legal ownership of the debt ; 4.

I am submitting this complaint regarding an attempt by XXXX to collect payment for services that were never provided. At the time the charges were originally billed, I disputed them directly with XXXX due to a complete lack of service. XXXX acknowledged that the service was not being provided and advised that a representative would follow up with me to resolve the issue. Despite multiple attempts on my part to obtain that followup, XXXX never contacted me again and never provided the service in question. Based on XXXX acknowledgment of the service failure and its commitment to follow up, I reasonably understood the matter to be unresolved but not valid for collection. No service was ever delivered, and no resolution discussion ever occurred despite my efforts. Now, approximately XXXX years later, XXXX or a third party acting on its behalf is attempting to collect on these same charges.
