    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
