I sent a letter in the mail to this company Nationwide Credit Inc at 1000 Abernathy Rd STE 200 Atlanta, GA 30328-5604 on April 24, 2023 and July 02, 2023 because I saw a collection account on my credit report from that they own. I explained that the collection account from them showed an original creditor as ** ***** * ** and that I didn't recognize it so please send me information so I could try to verify it. I never heard back from them and this collection account is still causing damage my credit. I have worked very hard on my credit and am very upset that this error is still being shown and the company responsible for it won't respond to my request.Business response

Nationwide credit called my phone number, without identifying themselves from an unknown listing claiming there was an open case file on me from their firm, and I needed to call them back. I returned the call, and asked to be removed from the call list, and was told thats not how this works. It turned out they were trying to track down someone I know that is not a household member, I explained this, and again asked them to remove me from their call list, and not to contact me again.

It might involve a healthcare provider. I call Nationwide Credit at ************ in response to a debt collection, hoping to resolve the issue; it is a legitimate debt. Long story short they tell me the account is no longer in their hands. The notice they sent me was dated 10/15/22 and the option to pay was only open through 10/28/22, and I received the letter 10/31/22 (so aside I'm wondering what the point of the business is if they give you no time to even reply). The number that a supervisor gave me and said this is where you can discuss the debt with the original servicer was ************. Call the number: tell me that is anything legitimate. After making you answer a dial-press question about age 65 or older (which you can't move on unless you answer), it starts an automated recording of a woman asking about medical devices; just like the scam calls "on a recorded line can you hear me okay?" that kind of thing. Why would Nationwide Credit Inc do something like that?Business response

On or about September 2022 I received an email from Nationwide Credit, Inc., in regards to them attempting to collect a debt owed to ****************. The email contained a settlement offer in the amount of $837.47 to which I accepted. After making my first payment of $34.89 on 09/26/2022, I noticed it still said I owed a balance of over $1,400 dollars which is more than the amount originally settled at. I called the debt collector NCI and spoke with a representative who over the phone told me I still owed them "NCI" over $1,400 dollars despite the settlement amount of $837.47. This is false and misleading and a violation of the FDCPA. The FDCPA strongly prohibits these kinds of practices, its outright deceptive and illegal.Business response

I received a form notice from Nationwide Credit, Inc. regarding unexplained debt owed to "*** **** **** ***" as of June 26, 2022... it is their claim that I owed $599.86. I believe any previous debt to *** has been paid as of the end of April, 2022. I was notified by *** that my account was closed last fall, as I recall, it was closed near the end of November, 2021. Most, if not all, purchases were on "five easy payments" and charges to my credit card continued to be processed by *** monthly until near the end of April, 2022. I have had no notice or invoice from *** since they closed the account. At the time of closure, since I periodically have hearing issues, I engaged in a live chat through ***.com with a person who claimed he/she was a supervisor and I requested that I be allowed access to existing orders so that I would be able to determine when and how much they were charging my credit card. The representative stated that a read-only access would be arranged... it never was. To the best of my recollection, I did not purchase anything with this account from *** for $599.86, and since the account was closed by *** last November, I doubt they would have allowed a purchase in June for any amount.On August 1st, 2022 I filed complaint #******-******* with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, an independent agency of the U.S. Government, and they forwarded the complaint to ***. I received the following status update from CFPB: Returned by company "STATUS Company responded the complaint does not belong to them on 8/8/2022."Since I have received no invoice or notice from *** for any outstanding debt, and *** has responded to CFPB that "the complaint does not belong to them", I would ask that Nationwide Credit, Inc. discontinue sending me notices of payment due and payable to them on behalf of ***.Business response
