I am not liable for this debt with Security Credit Systems, Inc. I do not have a contract with the collection agency attempting to collect. They did not provide me with the original contract as requested. Collector Mr. L*** threatened me and used obscene, profane and Abusive language.Customer response

This debt was brought to my attention, February 2023. The debt appeared on my credit report with no explanation. I then start to receive disturbing phone calls from the collection agency. Threating to sue if I had not made a payment. The representative coerces me into making a payment, though i did not owe this debt. I was very frightened. Each time the representative reached out to me he became more hostile. I reached out to an independent credit agency. Helped me to dispute the debt and seek legal advice, in which I did. As of September 8, 2023, the debt was removed from my credit report as the agency had broken several Fair Credit Act laws. The same representative is now reaching today 5-2024 requesting for the exact same debt to be paid. Someone needs to know that this agency is harassing individuals for debt that may not belong to them.Business response

Ms. ***** did do a credit bureau dispute on 11/18/21 and we sent her an itemized bill and signed agreement. We spoke to Ms. ***** on 2/16/22 she called and wanted options on paying the debt. We gave her a minimal payment plan and she made one payment of $250.00 on 2/22/22 and then never followed thru with the payment plan. Ms. ***** did another credit bureau dispute on 8/23/23 and we again sent her another copy of her itemized bill and signed agreement. We tried calling her again on 8/23/23 and she hung up the phone., We tried once more to call her on 5/3/24 and she claimed to have never heard about this debt and we again sent her an itemized bill and signed agreement., We would be happy to talk to Ms. ***** to try to resolve the debt.

First, I want to assure you that I am not responsible for or affiliated with the department you mentioned. it seems there has been some confusion about my role and involvement. I do not have any contractual obligations or responsibilities with that particular department. Regarding the security credit system, I can confirm that I do not have an active contract with them. When I previously requested a copy of the original contract, IT appears that was not provided to me. I apologize for any inconvenience this may caused. My intention is to resolve this matter amicably and ensure there is no further misunderstanding . I am happy to help provide any additional information or answer any questions. Thank you sincerely ****** ****Business response

Security Credit Systems Inc. received a past due collection account for Mr. ******* on 11/11/22 for ****** ********* ******* in the amount of $4,376.40 for attending the school for the fall semester of 2020. We spoke to Mr. ****** on 11/14/22 and Mr. ******* admitted that he attended the school but was disputing the balance due based on FAFSA issues in financial aid. We did send Mr. ******* a copy of his bill and signed agreement on 11/14/22 and then again on 12/5/22. We had to resend the paperwork due to a change in address. Mr. ******* sent us a note on 12/18/23 that he was requesting that we contact our client and he asked for a settlement in full for $2,376.00 which was almost 50% off of the original amount due and our client ****** ********* ******* accepted the settlement offer as long as it was paid within 30 days. We never heard from Mr. ******* again even though he indicated that if ****** ********* ******* accepted the settlement in full offer he would pay it immediately. Now he is claiming not to know who ****** ********* ******* is and claiming he never attended and he did. He also claims Security Credit Systems did not send him verification of debt and we did twice. This is a valid debt. We would be happy to help Mr. ******* resolve this debt. I will again send the bill and signed agreement to Mr. ******* for his records.

We do not have any account in our data base under the name of ***** ****. I do believe we have an incorrect phone number listed under the account in our system. We have removed the phone number from our system and ***** **** will not get any calls from Security Credit Systems Inc. Also, since the account we had was for a different individual we have not reported anything to the credit reporting bureaus for ***** ****. I hope this has resolved the issue. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me again. Sincerely, Mary *** ****** Compliance OfficerInitial Complaint

I received a notice that I have a collection from SECURITY CRD on my credit report. It says it was opened on 03/30/2018 for $0.00 with account number starting in ******* that I am not aware of nor am I responsible for. I never went into business with this company or signed any agreements with them so they should not be reporting anything on my credit. This is a violation of my rights as a consumer according to the FCRA and FDCPA. I would like for this collection to be removed ASAP or I will file a CFPB and FTC report.Business response
