      I have a collections account on my credit report from Nationwide Credit Corporation. I called them on 7/11/23 to pay off the account. I provided the associate that I spoke to with my social security number and name. She said that she could not find an account in her system with that information. That means I have an incorrect collections account on my credit report that reflects poorly and that is incorrect. I asked the associate how to go about getting this matter resolved. She said to email proof that the account is incorrect. I have no proof other than the fact that the associate cannot find any information regarding this account in her system. The associate was extremely rude and condescending and even mocked me during our conversation. She was extremely unhelpful and unprofessional. I have never dealt with someone so rude and unwilling to help. Because of this horrible experience and the company's unwillingness to help me resolve this issue, I do not know how else to resolve this issue and have this nonexisting account removed from my credit report

      I received a letter from NCC in May requesting $337 for 3 different chargers from ******* that occurred in January 2023. I had my transponder on auto-replenishment and don't know if the transponder failed to charge my account that even the charges don't appear in my statements. I had contacted ******* to see if they can assist me with finding where these charges came from and they said to directly contact NCC. So I emailed them in May and did not receive a response. I called them today (June 16) and they said they don't reply electronically ever, but in their letter they say they accept disputes electronically. Come to my surprise there is an additional charge on my account of another collection attempt in December 2022 that I was not aware of. In the letter I had received in May, it only lists 3 charges and now I'm so confused as to how they're able to charge me for whatever amount without any further investigation for this. There is such a big disconnect between ******* and NCC, and NCC is scamming people by charging them $100 for a charge as small as $2.50. This is horrible practice and this company needs to be investigated.

      In 2023 I was sent to collection for property tax owed on my 2017 mini ****** by Fairfax county VA.  I have not lived there since May of 2020. I provided NCC a current copy of my registration (in AZ) and appealed the charge. I never heard anything until I received a threatening letter saying they were going to garnish my checking account and take me to court with a due date of 5-27-2023. I paid the past due amount in full on 5-26-2023. THEY WILL NOT GIVE YOU A RECEIPT. How is this legal??? They garnished my checking account and did not inform my bank. I called several times and they just said I had to wait. I am still waiting for the $209.30 they store from my checking. They will not return my calls or emails. I want my money back. I want their A+ rating revoked as it seems many people have had similiar issues. I want their business practices reviewed and I want this stricken from my credit report. I have excellent credit and pay my bills and taxes.

      Nationwide Credit Corporation may appear legitimate, but they have criminal fraud division within itself. I will tell about two occasions when Nationwide Credit Corporation wrote me letters about parking tickets in ********** Virginia, a city I last visited in August 2015. And my only parking was at a ******* *** parking lot. The content of the first letter. The letter stated I had a parking violation in the city of ********** Virginia where my parking permit could not be seen. They sent me a picture of a vehicle I don't own with my license plate letters and number, but the state name was blurred out. I wrote Nationwide Credit Corporation a letter explaining to them I was not in ********** Virginia and sent them a copy of my Virginia Car registration. I never heard any more about that situation. The second time Nationwide Credit Corporation wrote me a letter was in August 2022. On August 5, 2022, I went to Virginia DMV in my hometown to have my license plate replaced because of damage. I was issued new license plates that day. I receive a letter from Nationwide Credit Corporation a few weeks later informing me that I have a parking violation in ********** Virginia on August 8, 2022, just three days after the new license plates were issued to me. There are criminal activities going on with Nationwide Credit Corporation. They contacted Virginia DMV, tricking them into believing I owe a parking fine, therefore I can't renew my license plates until I pay Nationwide Credit Corporation for a parking citation that never occurred. I am speaking to Virginia DMV tomorrow, also I am sending a copy of this letter to my congressman, the newspapers, TV stations and The Department of Veterans Affairs. One of these organizations should be able to put a stop to the illegal fraudulent practices of Nationwide Credit Corporation

       Complaint: ********

      I am rejecting this response because:

      You said you attached proof of the trips that my payment did not cover, but I have not received that attachment? My original letter from you gave the same trip number as the one I paid.

      Regards,

      Dear ***** *********, 
      Nation Credit Corporation (NCC) acknowledges receipt of the above referenced rejection submitted to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) on December 20,2022. In your rejection, you stated NCC did not provide proof that the payment did not cover the trip sent to collections and that the original response letter detailed the same trip number as the one paid. 

      NCC received your original dispute email showing proof of payment on trip numbers *********, *********, *********, and *********. Our client, ********** ******* *****, only sent one trip over to collections due to it becoming delinquent. The trip number sent to collections is trip number *********, which does not match the trip numbers on your proof of payment email, as explained in the previous response letter. Attached to the initial response letter was the original bill for trip *********, the date you went through the toll, the amount of the toll, and the trip number, providing proof that this bill was not amongst the list of trips you provided proof of payment for. 

      If you satisfied this bill prior to collections, you may provide proof of payment for the specific trip number, *********, to our office so we may submit it to our client. However, NCC thanks you for the payment we received on December 6, 2022 in our office satisfying trip number *********. 

      We hope this information has helped, please feel free to reach out to me if you have any more questions or concerns regarding this matter. I can be reached at ###-###-#### during office hours Monday through Friday between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. 

      Sincerely,
