CMRE Financial Services Inc

This company reported an account that I have on a payment planWhile they have the right to report the account to the credit reporting agencies, the fact that they waited till I was on a payment plan is a shady business practiceYou already run a type of business that is notorious for treating their customers badly, maybe try and run your business with honor and integrityI have no other option to continue to pay on my account, but hopefully someone will see this and know that this company will report you whether or not you are taking care of your financial business with them

Despite CRME stating that bills or letters were mailed to me, NOTHING has EVER been received by either CRME or the client that they are collecting on behalf of I do appreciate CRME contacting me to discuss it, however their attitude toward me during the conversation was less than respectful or professional There was never any communication with their "client" nor with CRME until I flied this complaint I have NEVER in my life not paid a bill, or even been late with any payment, as is evidenced by my credit report While I understand CRME is "just doing their job", I think they are accepting clients who are unscrupulousCRME has failed to do any due diligence in regard to this account Imagine discovering out of nowhere that your credit score has been damaged when you were given zero opportunity to address or defend yourself in the situation This is irresponsible of both CRME and *** *** ***, who they are collecting for This is unprofessional I never asked to do business with either of these organizations I didn't even know I was....I again request that this "collection" file be terminated and my credit report repaired by CRME Maybe they should strongly consider who they take on as clients If their own Revdex.com rating is of any value to them, then perhaps representing *** *** ***, which has a Revdex.com rating of F, should be taken into consideration

The consumers keeps referring to an “automatic” payment, he must have set this“automatic” payment with is bank as the only way CMRE can set up automatic monthlypayments is with a signed EFT contract, we do not have one on file for the consumer The account in question is now paid in full and
CMRE has submitted this to both Experianand TransUnion for deletion

Revdex.com:I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.First of all, I sent the request for validation as soon and I discovered the account on my credit report. I never received a response from CMRE within the day validation period as required under Texas Finance Code 392. CMRE did not respond to my request in the specified days, and there is no evidence that they did. Not only that,, according to FDCPA Section 809(b) Debt collection MUST cease collection activity until account has been verified. Therefore CMRE is in violation of both state and federal consumer protection laws.
I have made every effort to resolve this matter outside a courtroom before a jury in my community. I am respectfully requesting that CMRE do the right thing and request this item be deleted from the credit bureaus.

I have collection accounts listed on my Experian and TransUnion credit reports from CMRE and I contacted the cfpa to address this matter as wellThese collection accounts should have been removed from my credit reports because I still haven't received any information on who the original creditor is and the validity of these accounts

I was contacted by CMRE Financial Services regarding an alleged debtI have attempted to contact them on occasions with no success to find out more about the nature of the collection
They have not returned any of my messages and I do not want to end up with a negative mark on my credit simply because they refuse to follow up on the collectionThe last message I left them indicated that if they failed to return my call a third time I would take it that they were not interested in collecting the alleged debt
I do not know what my rights are here and I fear that I will end up being the one paying the price for their practices

This started in and I am still currently in battle (2017)
1) claims, contacted billing company that sent me to collection and they told me there was only claims they reported and CMRE states there are
2) After speaking with the billing department at the company I originally owed, I let them know that I didn't think that I had received the bill due to about bills being received from the hospitals and the fact that I moved about months laterThey were amazing and worked with me to allow me to pay the original amountSo I PAID the bills to the company I originally owed and they told me they would contact CMRE remove the collectionThe company I owe says my account is in good standing and all bills have been paid by me
3) CMRE NEVER removed the claims
4) - TransUnion (one coto report my collections) shows only claims and I filed a dispute to resolve the issueThey investigated, removed the collection, due to paying BEFORE collections because I paid the original company I owed and the claim was revoked by said company
5) 2017- CMRE reported to TransUnion the claims (same) AGAIN!
6)I called CMRE AGAIN, and they told me they have not received any contact from anyone regarding resolution of the claimsFALSE! I called the original company I owed and they stated that the notes on the account show their revocation of the collection claims and the account is in good standing
7) Called CMRE (02/18) is asking for proof of paymentI sent them my insurance coverage and pay off bill to original company I owed and they told me that I was not enough proof and they would not remove the collectionThey told me I needed to show bank statements and I informed them that the account is no longer open due to identity theft and there was no way to access those transactions
8) Called CMRE today (03/22) and they repeated what they had told me and the collector was getting aggravated with me and actually HUNG UP on me! I called back asking for a supervisor and I was on hold for an hourWhen they picked up, he asked me if I called earlier today and I told him yesThen he hung up
9) NOTHING has been resolved in yearsMy credit score has been suffering because of thatMy credit score fluctuated between 725-I cannot wait for the collection to expire (years in my state) because every year when they "do the books" (annually) it gets resubmitted to the credit company and starts over
I understand people say why don't you just pay it and forget about everythingDo you want to pay double on medical bills? Its the fact of the matter! They cannot do this to peopleMy debt is only about $They are probably doing this to thousands of peopleScamming people into paying them money they don't owe
WHY WONT ANYONE STOP THEM!?!

In August 2015, I suffered a heart attack and was transported by ambulance to a hospital and recieved various medical seevices at a local hospitalThere were many bills and all but one were properly settledThe one bill that was not was a some dollar bill that got sent to CMRE for collectionsI tried calling CMRE to discuss this bill but was put on extended hold and ultimatey hung up before an agent could answer the phoneThis happened twiceAt some point, CMRE put a derogatory remark on my credit report
The account is now settled because I paid CMRE the full amount of in April However CMRE will not remove the derogatory remark which greatly affects my credit score and impairs my ability to secure a mortgage
I called CMRE and spoke to a *** ***She told me it was policy to not remove such remarksI then asked to speak to a supervisor and she refused to connect me with oneI then asked for the name of the CEO who I could write a letter to and again

CMRE has started calling and sending letters on one of the many bills I have from Heart surgery at the end of the yearThe problem is I have setup payment plans with all of those that were owed money from my surgery and this company is attempting to collect on a payment already made to *** *** directIn addition they are threatening to file on my credit reports about HIPPA related services which is not legalI do not believe they are authorized to collect a debt in my state and their practices of collecting when payments have already been made to the provider is no only unethical but illegal
