Consumer Complaint: I got a XXXX prepaid wireless plan some years ago. Somehow without me signing or agreeing to a contract XXXX Switched my plan to a post paid account and put me into a contract and has been trying to collect money not owed to them.

There is no executed agreement between myself and XXXX.

Consumer Complaint: I purchased a samsung galaxy phone from a XXXX representative and was told at the time of the purchase that it came with a free tablet and that there was no contract and that I could cancel the device at any time. My phone was stolen and I immediately called and reported it and was told that my service would be cancelled and I would not be billed for anything but the price of the phone and to return the tablet to the nearest XXXX store. The store refused to even let me pay for the phone and said I breeched my contract and that I owed over XXXX dollars for the phone, tablet early termination and other fees. I also could not pay or work out any deal with XXXX because they referred it to a collections agency and told me they no longer were involved at all. All I have received from this is a report on my credit.

Consumer Complaint: I received A letter that my account had been turned over to I.C. Systems. I believe this collection attempt is in error, as it refers to a XXXX account that was closed in XXXX 2015. After the account was closed, I contacted XXXX after receiving a bill, and they informed me that their billing had simply not caught up to their emails, and that I owed nothing on the account. I attempted to contact IC System via their website and the phone number listed on their letter, but the website does not exist, and the phone number rang once and held.

Consumer Complaint: A former employer has stated I owe him money. However, according to my records I have paid this debt in full and in fact am owed money by this employer due to an overpayment. I requested a verification of debt and proof this money was still owed after my payments and my former employer provided only a copy of an invoice that he typed- no backup, no proof. I however provided a XXXX Page document showing that I do not owe this money and that is has been paid in full and that he owes me money. This is a civil matter between my former employer and myself. Only a court of law can determine if I owe him money or he owes me, not some third party collection company. Furthermore, a copy of a invoice with no backup is not a valid proof of debt - anyone can type an invoice. This collection co is also reporting to my credit as rental/leasing debt which will hamper my ability to rent a property. I do not owe a debt stemming from any sort of unpaid rents. My prior company is a XXXX. I do not owe any sort of rent to them which is what they are categorizing it as. I have called this company and mailed them a letter stating I dispute this debt. Their response is that the invoice copy is a valid proof of debt!!!

Consumer Complaint: IC Systems failed to mail me a Dummy letter. Under FDCPA that is a violation and they can no longer collect on the debt. I want the debt gone and off my credit report. They ca n't report a Debt on a credit report if I did not recieve a dummy letter.

Subissue: Frequent or repeated calls
Consumer Complaint: I have received phone calls from IC System repeatedly at all hours of the early morning and late evening ( including XXXX on the weekend ). the numbers were originally from the XXXX area code. I was never able to answer the phone, and nobody ever left a message.also called from an XXXX ( CT ) number. In the past 2 days they have robocalled me from XXXX ( ID ) and XXXX ( WY ) and have either not left a message, or I have answered with the delayed response from them and hung up ( indicating a robocall ). I returned their call both times and asked who they were and they refused to give me any information until I verified my address or my social security number. I do not give out personal information on the phone. I suggested that if they wanted to collect from me XXXX which they never actually confirmed who the creditor was XXXX, they needed to send me something in writing, and we returned to other person demanding that in order to do this, i had to give them my identifying information. They hung up on me in the middle of my own sentence about why they would n't be getting my information over the phone. they called me back about an hour later and it was another delayed call without a person on the other end. If i legitimately owe a debt, I am MORE Than willing to pay it, but I 'm not giving out any information over the phone ... not when they clearly already have that information if they are asking me to " verify '' it with them.
