Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | We rented an apartment from XXXX XXXX and now have a line on our credit report showing " Collection/Attorneys Fees '' As far as we knew we had all of our rent paid, and cleaned the apartment to what they wanted before moving out and notified them of any damages while living there. We now have a debt in collections against my credit in the amount of {$490.00} against both of us. We were never notified we had outstanding fees, missing rent, or any notice of action against us. |
Incorrect information on credit report | I bankruptcy was dismissed in XXXX 2010. Would like for this to be removed from my Credit Report. I have been trying to rebuild my credit for the last XXXX years and this is impacting my Credit Score. |
Communication tactics | Numerous calls a day, at LEAST 1/2 dozen. I tried talking and there answer was its automatic. Every other co XXXX XXXX was real to deal with. They accepted my Medical Explanation but Citi Bank that holds the card for Sears Refuses to Listen. XXXX XXXX XXXX, and others Respected what was going on but Citibank Refuses to do so. |
Dealing with my lender or servicer | In XXXX of 2015, I set up a XXXX month forbearance with Genesis Lending in which they would deduct {$40.00} every month for XXXX months. I received a letter stating what was set up over phone and another statement stating that it was going to deduct on a particular date as I had set up in XXXX and the payment was deducted accordingly. My father, who is a co-signer on this loan received a letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 stating that this account is past due and payment was owed immediately. I called Genesis Lending and was told that my forbearance was processed incorrectly and that the last associate I spoke with was wrong in the terms of repayment that they offered me. But because this was their mistake, he offered to fix this for me and to put a new plan of forbearance in for processing that would be {$40.00} for 6 months, {$80.00} for the next 6 months and then {$160.00} for the following 6 months. When asked why I had not been advised as to this processing issue he stated that a representative had called me on XXXX XXXX, 2015 and was unable to leave a voice mail. I never received a call from Genesis Lending. When I asked why I had not been notified in writing he responded with " I do n't know ''. I got no answers, but just an offer to change my forbearance plan to something I did n't originally agree with. This company has not learned its lesson and is BAD business.
I attended XXXX XXXX in XXXX, GA from XXXX |
Unable to get credit report/credit score | I am a XXXX XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I exercised my rights under the XXXX and XXXX XXXX relief act ( SCRA ) and applied for protection while XXXX. Soon after Transunion cut off all of my online access to my account claiming that I have a high risk of identify theft because I am a XXXX XXXX. While this may be well intentioned it is a violation of the FCRA and has served to prevent me from gaining access to my annual free credit report unless I write Transunion, thereby slowing down the request. I am no longer a XXXX and wish to have the same rights as all US consumers. |
Dealing with my lender or servicer | I was in the XXXX program at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX College in Iowa. I had taken out all of the federal loans that I could available to me. The head of the hygiene department recommends you do n't work during the program because it is so difficult. XXXX recommended the Wells Fargo student loan program. I was naive signing up for the loan because I thought I could pay it off quickly after school. I could n't have been more wrong.
Unfortunately, I was moderately XXXX right out of XXXX school from a bad XXXX who called me by the wrong name then XXXX Not Wells Fargo 's fault but I have been working full time in constant pain making a good income to pay off this student loan. I am struggling to pay it off because the interest on the loan is so high. And I 'm doing that because I want to do what 's right and pay off the amount I borrowed from Wells Fargo. It 's a 30 year loan and the interest rate is 12.24 %. Almost all of the payment goes to the interest on the loan, not the principal. The amortization schedule is crippling.
I took out {$20000.00} initially. By the time I started repayment after XXXX, I owed $ 27,000+. I 've been paying for 5 years totaling {$12000.00} and the principal balance still owed is {$24000.00}. We 've asked them repeatedly if they would accept a payout amount and have been turned down and they want {$24000.00}. We 've even stopped making payments at their customer service staff 's recommendation which damaged my credit to see if they would work with us. I was almost to default ( I cringe thinking about it ) and no luck they would not work with us. Also, Wells Fargo denied their customer service reps would ever recommend that to us.
I found out another girl from my XXXX class is struggling with the same issue. I 'm not alone. I ca n't even imagine how many other past students are struggling with this right now. Please, I beg you not to take out a Wells Fargo student loan so they can no longer offer this predatory loan to consumers. |
Unable to get credit report/credit score | I was attempting to get my free annual reports on line and there was a power failure. When I got back to my computer the PDFs were gone I could not recover them. I asked for access like you get when you pay 30 days, but was denied. I then asked to have them mailed and this is the response I got from Trans Union. No pay for it now. I think that is unfair. I tried to get them online and failed. Then I wrote them and filled out the mail request form and then they said no again. |
Incorrect information on credit report | XXXX/XXXX/XX/XX/2015 - While attempting to correct date of birth error in my credit profile via TransUnion website, I received an error message that instructed me to call TransUnion customer service at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I then called customer service representative at XXXX XXXX PDT and was told I needed to call TransUnion dispute resolution center at ( XXXX ) XXXX during normal business hours.
XXXX/XXXXXX/XX/2015 - I called TransUnion dispute resolution center at XXXX XXXX PDT and spoke to XXXX XXXX. Happily, XXXX XXXX was able to correct an error in my address history, but unfortunately XXXX XXXX refused to correct my date of birth. |
Unable to get credit report/credit score | I recently requested all XXXX of my free credit reports threw XXXX, and had no problem receiving my XXXX, or XXXX reports ; however, Transunion sent me a letter changing the apartment number to my address from XXXX to XXXX and denied me my free report unless I send them very personal information in which I object. My reports are frozen at my request because Transunion has been reporting inaccurate information. Transunion suspended my account when I attempted to dispute personal information. Customer service relayed to me she was sending me a new password XXXX times and I never received that password, as promiced to lift the suspension. I had a problem trying to get my free report last year, just the same and am fustrated with dealing with them. |
Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | I 've been having harassing calls from XXXX management companies for months. My insurance company informed me to file a formal report with them because this was a known scam to them. These calls have persisted and they have some how gotten more and more person medical information about me and even now know where I live. The calls went from just other states to right here in my home town. Some of these numbers pop up on google with some pretty scary web links. ( I never open them ) My problem started after I started rejected there calls and after telling them I had reported them. Insurance company told me to tell them this. I then started getting calls from RPM, Receivables Management Performance. At XXXX I thought it was the same scam XXXX from before so I did n't answer. They started leaving numerous messages stated they were RPM a debt collecting company trying to collect a debt. Knowing that All my debt is paid off I immediately went to check my credit score. There it shows I XXXXwireless XXXX. How ever the phone account is n't in my name. Never has been. Nor under my social. So I found this very odd. It then said the original company charged me in XXXX XX/XX/2014 for the XXXX but never received. So I went to our phone statements knowing were not behind looking for this charge. XXXX never charged XXXX for any services additional to our normal bill. Payment history shows every payment has been made on time. I also never received calls from XXXX. I have tried answering the calls from RPM. They either announce who they are and then hang up, Hang up the XXXX I answer, or speak some other language real quick then hang up. Either way they never actually try to collect nor let me dispute the charges. They call every day between XXXX times. Different numbers. This is the absolute only debt I have showing on my credit and like I said before XXXX is not my account. I 've never had any wireless company account in my name. I looked this company up. There are many complaints about RPM. Hang ups, harassing calls, fraudulent charges for items people have never had. Even filed through the BBB people have these complaints and yet they still receive a XXXX star rating. Im not sure how these people are allowed to be in business. I would like this inaccurate debit removed and investigated so hopefully they do n't try again. |
Incorrect information on credit report | I filed an online dispute with TransUnion concerning a debt placed onto my credit file by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was not able to upload documents to prove my case because of an incredible amount of character restrictions not allowed on documents by this companies arcane computer program. When the dispute came back that the debt was verified, I then mailed my documents to Transunion to prove my case. XXXX again the results were not in my favor. When I tried to call to speak with a live representative, I was redirected to file the complaint online. It is my strong belief that a proper investigation was not conducted on my behalf. The documentation provided to TransUnion was very strong evidence that XXXX XXXX XXXX was wrong on their filings against me. |
Dealing with my lender or servicer | I took out a loan through Genesis for an education through XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Oh. Under the sale of the debt there was to be a 40 % reduction in my loan. Nothing has been done. At this time this is my complaint. A detailed complaint regarding my federal student loans will be forthcoming as well. |
Disclosure verification of debt | In XXXX, I noticed a collection account from this company on my credit report, which I have never received an initial letter from stating they are collecting on this debt nor containing notice of my right to dispute the debt. Per the credit report, they stated they started collecting on this debt in XXXX 2015. I sent this company a letter and they never acknowledged receiving this. They have willfully violated the law. |
Credit reporting company's investigation | On XX/XX/XXXX, after learning of an erroneous collections notice on my credit report from my mortgage broker, I filed a dispute with Experian. The incorrect collection notice was for medical expenses originated by XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX for services received in Oklahoma. I have never visited Oklahoma, let alone received medical treatment there. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received notice from Experian via E-mail that the dispute investigation was complete and the erroneous information remained. When I followed up by phone on XX/XX/XXXX, to ask why the error was still on my account, I was XXXX told by the Experian operator ( XXXX? ), that the creditor confirmed it was me ( impossible since I have never even been to the state or am in any way remotely connected with Oklahoma ). However, upon further investigation by the Experian operator, it was determined this dispute was inexplicably cancelled on XX/XX/XXXX, thus automatically triggering a notice to me of the egregiously incorrect information remaining on my file. The Experian Operator could not identify who cancelled my dispute or why. During that call, the Experian operator re-opened my dispute and provided me with contact information for the creditor. Adding insult to injury, the contact information from Experian for the creditor ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ph XXXX ) leads me to a disconnected telephone number. I happen to have known this number was disconnected in XX/XX/XXXX ( prior to receiving my results from Experian ) because I tried calling them when I XXXX learned of the error on my XXXX credit report.
My concern is Experian did not exercise proper diligence in their initial review of my dispute ( it is currently being re-disputed ). Because of this incorrect information remaining on my report, my credit score on Experian fell from XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) to XXXX ( present ) - a fall of more than XXXX points. In contrast, XXXX removed the erroneous information from my file in XXXX business day. Experian 's failure to effectively review and remove the incorrect information is also striking in light of its clear inconsistency with all the other information on my report. What 's worse, I PAY Experian to receive credit report updates! I 'd hope Experian would have a higher standard since I pay them for services. To the contrary, this has been personally damaging and frustrating. It adversely effects me and my young family. My hope is the government holds Experian and other credit bureaus ' feet to the fire when it comes to allowing damaging and inaccurate information on credit reports. |
Disclosure verification of debt | In XXXX, XXXX, I lost my job, and was still paying my credit card bill, until XXXX, XXXX, when I was just unable to pay my Washington Mutual Bank credit card anymore. I have enclosed my last statement I paid in XXXX of XXXX. Please note the amount was {$4900.00}. Consequently, a judgement was filed against me in the summer of XXXX, for the amount of {$5900.00}. That amount difference was understandable and I planned to pay whenever I got a job. That did n't happen. Finally, in XXXX of XXXX I was able to get a job and pay on other garnishments, from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.
Now, I see that XXXX XXXX XXXX has filed to revive the judgement that XXXX XXXX had filed on behalf of XXXX XXXX, XXXX this time for the amount of {$9700.00}. I do feel that XXXX XXXX XXXX is doing this out of a vendetta they have towards me. I feel that the garnishment should not be revived because of XXXX reasons : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX bought this specifically because my name was on it, and XXXX ) the exorbitant amount that they want is just not owed. This feels like a personal attack from XXXX XXXX XXXX, because they did n't own this account, until now. They did not file the original judgement. |
False statements or representation | Have not contacted me, personally. Have contacted my parents and my husband 's parents. Stated he was an attorney ( they could n't, for certain, state his name because some words were specifically pronounced so as not to clearly be understood ) and stated there was an issue with my social security number. I am CERTAIN they can not ask for this information without my consent. The name on the caller ID was shown as XXXX and the number given to contact was XXXX. I did not return the call to either number as I have no idea who they are. |
Incorrect information on credit report | I sent a letter to Transunion requesting a proper investigation regarding the public records on my credit report as I know that the XXXX public records should not have been placed on my credit report. I went to my local county clerk office to see if they could resolve the issue but they stated to me that they do not speak, email or fax to the credit bureaus and that I would have to take it up with them to resolve the issue on my report. So sent my dispute and XXXX judgments came back verified yet per my attorney who explained to me that under the FCRA which is a federal law that the credit bureaus have to conduct a reasonable investigation and make sure that the items on my credit report are accurate and verifiable. I know the XXXX judgement are not accurate and simply should not be there and how can they verify them with the county clerk or recorder when they do n't communicate in any manner to each other. This is a broken system and I need those XXXX judgments removed off my credit report as they are preventing me from obtaining future credit. I am a single working mother with XXXX children and I can not afford to to have these inaccurate public records. |
Credit reporting company's investigation | I have filed several disputes for the account XXXX XXXX acct # XXXX. The credit reporting agency says their reporting correctly, which their going off the creditors original info. XXXX is a collection agency. They bought the original acct from XXXX 's clothing acct # XXXX in which the XXXX delinquent date was in XX/XX/XXXX. What XXXX XXXX is reporting is from the time they bought the acct in XX/XX/XXXX. This account has been delinquent over 7 year and is still reporting to all XXXX credit report agencies. I 've sent letters to XXXX XXXX and to the credit reporting agencies requesting this to be deleted and both are not complying nor are they spending the amount of time to investigate to get the accurate info. |
Credit reporting company's investigation | I received a letter from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX letting me know that they had asked the XXXX reporting agencies to " delete the account ( s ) from your credit report. '' Good deal -- that 's what I had requested of XXXX. XXXX and XXXX quickly complied with XXXX 's request. EQUIFAX would n't delete the account even though I disputed it twice in XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and sent the letter from XXXX to them twice. I need help in getting EQUIFAX to comply with XXXX 's request to delete my account. |
False statements or representation | The collection Company Resident Collect Inc. located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX, Phone XXXX has falsely reported a back rent debt in the amount of {$6700.00} on behalf of my old residential management company XXXX XXXX. I had been a resident for 4 years at XXXX XXXX XXXX without any problems. Due to a job loss, I spoke with my property manager XXXX XXXX about about not being able to afford the cost of continued residency. He assisted me in ending the lease by setting up an intent to vacate agreement. with the agreement my manager stated that, " As long as you vacate the residence by XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I will have plenty of time to re-rent the apartment. In the event that I do not rent it, you will only be responsible for the amount of time that the apartment was vacant until re-rented. '' I did vacate the premises in accordance with the agreement. On or about XXXX XXXX, I returned to my former residence to pay off the final balance of my water usage fee and check with the Property Manager about the status of re-renting my former apartment unit. To my astonishment, My Manager no longer worked there, and the property was taken over by a new management company named " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' as of XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I asked the new management team about the status of my former apartment. As far as they were concerned, I was told that the apartment was in good condition, and I owe them nothing. I fairness to myself and the former XXXX XXXX management company, I feel that my balance should amount to the number of days that I left the premise, combined with the amount of days up until they owned the property, which was XXXX XXXX, XXXX. My rent was paid for the entire month of XXXX even though I vacated the premise on the XXXX. |
Communication tactics | Keep getting a call from this number, before it was XXXX XXXX XXXX, I had it blocked and now they have changed XXXX number to call me. I see other complaints online from this number and the XXXX. Can I sue? |

Credit reporting company's investigation | Dear Sir/madam, I have disputed an item that is illegally reported on my credit file with Eperian, But it has been over 30 days since they received a dispute letter. I have n't heard any result of investigation. |
Credit reporting company's investigation | On XXXX/XXXX/2015 an online dispute was initiated by me with Equifax, concerning a collection reporting by XXXX XXXX XXXX an amount of {$6700.00}. The investigation was completed by Equifax on XXXX/XXXX/2015. Only 2 days. This led me to believe that a proper investigation into the facts were not done by a human, and the results of this item remaining on my report were all computer generated. I filed a XXXX dispute via telephone on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I asked the agent if any documents were sent by XXXX XXXX XXXX to counter my arguments and documentation from the XXXX dispute. Her response was " NO ''. The agent also assured me that the collection agency will definitely be required to send documentation the next time. This XXXX investigation was completed on XXXX/XXXX/15, only 1 day. They claimed that the debt was verified, and remained on my credit file. I called Equifax again and requested the documents that were sent by the credit collection agency to disprove my information. The agent, ( who would not give me her last name, or the location of the office she was working out of ) informed me that I was not allowed to know what the collector sent to disprove my information. I then requested to speak to a Supervisor. I was connected to XXXX XXXX from the Equifax office in XXXX GA. XXXX XXXX XXXX told me that I was not allowed to know the information that was sent by Resident XXXX XXXX that supposedly countered my arguments for the incorrect reporting. He also said that his agents are trained not to supply a consumer with their last name or office location. I found this highly disturbing due to the fact that these employees had access to all of my personal information right at their fingertips. I also informed him that no documentation was sent by the collection agency to refute my claims during the XXXX investigation, and therefore the this negative information should have been removed. XXXX XXXX continuously insisted that the debt was verified and reporting correctly. |
Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | I believe that Citibank erroneously issued me a XXXX, Cancellation of Debt. I sent a package to Citibank on XXXX XXXX, XXXX with the necessary documentation, including my credit reports back to XX/XX/XXXX, but have had no response from Citibank.
In XX/XX/XXXX I received a collection notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX requesting over {$42000.00} for Citibank account with the number ending in XXXX. I checked my quick books records as well as my credit reports and found no credit card with that number. I disputed the debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX In response I received some statements from Citibank showing balances of {$37000.00}, {$38000.00}, etc with interest accruing at approximately {$1000.00} a month. I responded to Citibank with information regarding the statements and the fact that the card does not appear on my credit report. I have a copy of that letter.
I heard nothing from either XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX or Citibank until a XXXX was issued in an amount just over {$17000.00} for the XX/XX/XXXX tax year.
This erroneous XXXX will have serious ramifications for me and not just any potential tax liability. The IRS can unwind any erroneous tax calculation at any time. However, this error impacts my XXXX subsidy and my son 's college financial aid. Our FAFSA will need to be linked to our XX/XX/XXXX XXXX before the fall term. I will be able to demonstrate actual damages that may NOT be able to be rectified, i.e. my son 's Financial Aid which has strict deadlines, if this matter is not looked into and investigated. It needs to be resolved promptly.
Interestingly, I was sued by Citibank back in XX/XX/XXXX for a little over {$16000.00}. Citibank continues to collect on that judgment, issuing garnishments, etc. The lawsuit filed by Citibank states that this is for an account ending in XXXX, however, subsequent exhibits attached to a Motion for Summary Disposition ( of which I do not have copies but the court and Citi 's law firm, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX should have copies ) included statements for an account ending not only in XXXX but also XXXX. Both those accounts are reflected on my credit reports. I believe that the XXXX account number changed when XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was acquired by Citibank, hence XXXX numbers for the XXXX account. That suit was filed in the XXXX District Court in XXXX XXXX, Michigan, case number XXXX. ( The XXXX is for XXXX XXXX since the court also meets in XXXX and XXXX ).
In summary, I have no records of any credit card with this number. Not in my accounting software nor in my handwritten hard copy back up. It has never appeared on my credit report, at least since I have regularly pulled those reports starting in XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX all my accounts were reported as current. There is no record of this credit card from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. When asked for any proof, all that was provided were some recent statements that showed no activity, just a past due balance accruing interest. I was sued by CitiBank back in XX/XX/XXXX for an almost identical amount. Citibank has a judgment on that amount and their attorneys continue collection procedures. |

At completion I received notice that I had completed the program and that they debts were paid in full and that notice was also provided to the creditors. As a side note I do know that payments were made to the creditors as I recently received a repayment of overpaid interest from another account. I have disputed the debt with LVNV/XXXX multiple times, most recently in XXXX of XXXX. XXXX again it was deleted. While applying for a mortgage I discovered that the debt was incorrectly being reported again as an active collection, despite having provided the evidence of the credit counseling program, and successful completion. The evidence sent showed the correct account number, and debtor. I also received a letter from the collector that despite matching account number and documents showing completion was insufficient evidence, but did not provide any evidence the debt is still owed. |
Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | i verified that the debt was wrongly billed to me with XXXX hospital and they stated it should have been removed in XXXX and that it would be removed. they stated this on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. i just checked and it still remains on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX on my credit report. |

Credit reporting company's investigation | I had XXXX different results from the XXXX credit bureau agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, and TransUnion ). It was in regards to a dispute filed in XX/XX/XXXX. I sent all XXXX agencies the same exact same information. The dispute was in regards to a 30 day late payment in XX/XX/XXXX ( the only XXXX in the entire history of my credit report ).
XXXX resolved the issue, it was corrected and updated on my new credit report which they sent to me.
XXXX results was " historical account information was deleted from this account. '' I am not quite sure what that means since I did not receive a new credit report.
TransUnion results state " new information below '' but nothing was changed at all.
I would like XXXX and TransUnion to correct and update the information in the exact same way that XXXX did. |
False statements or representation | I was sent a letter from IC Systems stating I owed a credit {$170.00}. I have a copy of the debt demand. When I disputed the debt and asked that they furnish proof that I owe this debt I was told that if I did not pay the {$170.00} then they will report me for owing XXXX ( which I certainly do not owe ). I told the agent I am an attorney and that was blackmail. He hung up the phone. I was never sent the proof of debt ( I even faxed my dispute to them ) and instead they reported to the credit bureau that I owe {$980.00}. |
Incorrect information on credit report | Upon being notified by my cell provider that there were several erroneous items on my credit report, I contacted all XXXX of the major credit bureaus to correct the errors. Of the several errors on my report, XXXX was a XXXX Bank credit card account that was sold to XXXX XXXX. Through the CFPB 's assistance, XXXX removed the account from all XXXX bureaus. Since they were alerted the account was not mine in the XXXX place,, XXXX XXXX and XXXX removed the XXXX account from my credit history.
Equifax however after being advised repeatedly by certified mail and through their website have ignored my demand to remove the XXXX account from my record ; claiming that they have verified the account to be mine ; which is a falsehood. I maintain that this was never my account. I have been disputing this for more than XXXX months now and am now demanding proof of this debt from XXXX Bank as I know it does not exist. Short of legal action against Equifax, I do n't know how to proceed. |
Incorrect information on credit report | Equifax refuse to report my XXXX installment accounts. I have XXXX XXXX XXXX credit cards and XXXX XXXX XXXX auto acct and they are not reporting these paid accounts. I have contacted Equifax and they said they only report what 's given. XXXX XXXX states they have sent all of my acct info to Equifax. My credit score is low because Equifax want add these accounts. Equifax will report negative accounts quickly but wo n't report my accounts in good standing. They told me I couldnt dispute because the accounts must first be on my credit report.
Equifax is n't working for me as a consumer. They report inaccurate info or what they want to report and it 's quite unfair. |
Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | After getting a landline phone and number, we started to get debt collectors calling for debts that do not belong to us and that the people they are looking for we have never heard of.

Incorrect information on credit report | I placed a fraud alert on my credit report because my social security information was compromised. Experian failed to ask for my telephone number to verify in case a request for credit was made. I discovered this attempted to correct on the Internet however, Experian wanted to charge me for a report. I finally got through to a generic telephone number. I was told my telephone would be on file in 24 hours. A week later, Friday, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX told me that my file had not been updated with my telephone number so my application could not be processed. |
Unable to get credit report/credit score | I paid for and attempted to get my XXXX credit reports and XXXX credit scores from Experian using a product they advertised for {$39.00}. I paid the money and they could not provide the information citing a system error on their part. They say they have credited by credit card for the amount that was charged for this product and told me it will take XXXX business days for the money to be returned to my account. They told me they are not able to provide the product I requested and also do not know when they can make it available to me. |
Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | I am writing to dispute the following information in my credit file. There is a collection account on my credit report in the amount of {$110.00} XXXX charge off/past due ). This charge is associated with my old XXXX account, # XXXX. Throughout my entire two-year contract, it can be seen that I never missed a single payment and all payments were set for automatic payments.
Before moving in XXXX 2015, I successfully closed my XXXX account and returned all of the equipment. I then opened up a new XXXX account, # XXXX. Again, with this new account, it can be seen that I make all payments on time, in full, through auto-pay.
I am requesting that the negative collection account charge of # XXXX be completely removed from my credit report as it has been paid in full and that I am in a good standing consumer relationship with XXXX.
I am only XXXX years old, and because of this erroneous error charge, my credit score as severely decreased, causing me great financial harm in the future. If this error is not corrected and erased, I will have no choice but to bring legal action through my lawyer as well as through the Federal Trade Commission via my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, our current Maryland United States Senator. To whoever is reading this, I plead that you help me in getting this charge removed. |

I also had both the XXXX of my stores pat me on the back and say they are going to call me and we are going to get past this and get me back on the schedule. i told XXXX of those dms today and he acted like this was the XXXX time he heard of it. but back to the debt collector. he started raising his voice at me not letting me get a word in and wouldnt listen to the question i was asking. i asked him several times and he would dodge it. i asked why does it say walmart and he starts talking about XXXX. i asked about gamestop he avoided the question and talked about XXXX qibberish that had nothing to do with case. then when i keep asking questions he started getting loud and yelling at the top of his lungs to call tomorrow then hung up on me. i called again and i got this lovely women on the phone. she said her computers where down even thoe XXXX mins ago he has all my info and the account info pulled up and the all of a sudden their computers dont work? weird. then she randomly hung up on me. then i call back get a supervisor and he answered again, i asked for XXXX and he was like " IS THIS XXXX?

Dealing with my lender or servicer | Mohela called me on XXXX/XXXX/15, I told the rep I was at work he then advised me it was an urgent matter. I was concerned so I asked my team lead to give me about XXXX minutes because I had an urgent phone call. I then verified my information and he then informed me I was past due on my loan ( only XXXX days ) but the payment was pending in their system because I always make my payment through their system. I had to tell that rep the payment was already made and that he should have looked at the payment screen before he asked me to make a payment. This incident has happened before when a payment was made but not yet posted. I was only XXXX days late, I started a new job and my paydays are different from my previous employer, I have never been XXXX days late with them and this matter was not an urgent matter because the payment was already and I felt like they wasted my time, the co-signer and was upset because she states no one told her a payment was pending in the system. It seems to me that Mohela wants to misled and employ scare tactics, the payment was made for the XXXX and the money came out of my account on the XXXX ( it was showing as pending in my checking acct on the XXXX ). Mohela has did this to me before, I had to tell the rep to look into the system because I made a payment, I also heard a call my mom recorded of Mohela and not one did he tell her a payment was pending in the system, he asked her to make a payment. She was upset with me because they implied she needed to make a payment when I already her one was made but not yet posted, nowhere on that call was that information given. I actually looked online on mohela 's online page and the payment was posted on the day I said it would. I also spoke with a consumer rights attorney and he advised me that Mohela should make sure they are looking to see if a payment is scheduled online before they ask someone to make another payment and the rep misrepresented the call by saying it was an urgent matter ; it was not an important issue because the payment was made and it was only XXXX days past due. I was nowhere near the XXXX day mark so I am not sure they discussed anything about credit reporting for this payment because it sounded stupid to say such a thing. A supervisor states they have to call when a payment is late ( this is their job ) but make sure you are actually looking to see if a payment was made before you stay anything stupid like asking to make another payment. I was also advised by an attorney that Mohela should not be telling people it is an urgent matter because it was not in this case and nothing about a past due bill is an emergency. It was utterly deceptive and this is not the first time this has happened, I would prefer to get manual calls not computer calls on my cell phone but they told me I had to endure these stupid calls. The rep asked me if I had another phone call number to use, I said no then I was told I would have to endure these useless calls especially since a payment was already made but not posted, it was pending in the system and I wish people at Mohela would take the time to look at the online screen because they wasted my time because I was at work and I had to stop what I was doing to deal with this matter. |
Disclosure verification of debt | I received a " Continuing Writ of Garnishment Against Salary or Wages after Judgment '' on XXXX/XXXX/15 from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/15 I received notice from my employer that my wages would be garnished starting XXXX/XXXX/15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Per the notice, I had 20 days to dispute this action ; it was 3 days!!!!!. I had no chance to dispute this before my money is being take from my paycheck. This attorney 's office has NOT provided any documentation proving that I owe XXXX XXXX or that I owe the amount mentioned. This garnishment is causing further financial hardship because I am now unable to pay my rent, electric, water or put gas in my car!!!! I can not afford to hire an attorney to file bankruptcy or fight this harassment. Do I need to quit my job to stop them from stealing my hard earned money. How is this legal or fair? |

Disclosure verification of debt | After reviewing my credit report over a month ago, I notice an unknown debt of {$200.00} from XXXX XXXX that was opened in XXXX XXXX. I have written to the collection agency called Enhanced Recovery Co to ask for a debt validation. They never responded to my certified letter ( with return proof of delivery ). After several research, I pulled up a previous credit Report made in XXXX and noticed that another Credit Collection Agency called XXXX had put a similar XXXX XXXX XXXX balance/debt of {$200.00}, opened this time, in XXXX XXXX. The last time I used XXXX XXXX XXXX was in XXXX. I have every reason to believe that the Enhanced Recovery Co is negatively re-Aging my debt. I read from several sources that this technique was illegal. I also signed up a week ago to credit Karma to see updated info on my record and noticed that around XXXX XXXX ENHANCED RECOVERY CO put a note stating that I have filed a complaint that was resolved but they seem to have removed this note a few days later. |

Pursuant to the settlement of this case the mortgage with XXXX # XXXX on this property was surrendered and transfered back to the bank. We no longer have anything to pay on this loan as it was discharged as of XXXX. The bank is continuing to report it as past due. I 've contacted the bank and received no response. I 've sent letters to the XXXX credit reporting companies. Equifax responded that the bank said they are reporting this correctly. This can not be correct as we no longer have this loan. Is the bank saying they will report this as past due for years although we no longer have an obligation to pay this loan. We are trying to reestablish our credit and have been denied credit as our credit scores will continue to go down and/or not change as this loan is continuing to be posted monthly as being unpaid. |

They put the account on my file and then sent me a letter saying they have mad XXXX attempts to contact me.

Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | I just learned there is an unpaid electricity bill that was originally in my daughter 's name along with mine. In XXXX when she moved into her own place I signed in lieu of a big deposit to get her electricity connected. That ( I thought ) was the end of it. She eventually moved out and into another apartment from XXXX/XXXX/XXXX until she moved out in XXXX XXXX ; she then had the electricity transferred in the roommate 's name. Whether when my daughter left, the electric company did n't send the last electric bill, I do not know ( they will not discuss with me now that this is turned over to a collection agency ). The electricity company has now reported me living at her last address ( my residence is 12 yrs 8 months where I am currently ). In addition, this unpaid balance of {$79.00} is now showing as a collection on my credit report. I have reached out to the collection agency ; they are very rude! They are requiring I file a police report of stolen identity since I never lived at the place where this electricity bill originated ... show proof of my residence for the time the electricity was generated at that address. I am literally being instructed to jump through many hoops. I would n't mind just paying the bill just to get rid of it but would it really get rid of it? Wo n't it stay on my credit history as a collection? Why ca n't I just pay the electricity company and ask they call off their collection agency? I personally had my daughter 's mail forwarded when she left that apartment to my residence to avoid things such as these. I believe that was for a time frame of 6 months to a year ; we never saw this bill or any letter informing it was unpaid or going into collections. Can you help me? Thanks! |
Disclosure verification of debt | This information was suppose to age off my credit reportr back in XXXX 2014. I have disputed the information as out the XXXX SOL but all my credit report udpated to say was 'account disputed by consumer meets FCRA standards '. |
Getting a loan | {$12000.00} For ONE Year of College In 2007, I was a XXXX with my sights set on college - and only {$20000.00} standing in my way. I received a colorful advertisement in the mail from Chase Education Loans promising the bright future I was so desperately seeking, and snagged the opportunity immediately. Sure, I read the fine print - but at XXXX, I did n't quite understand the meaning behind " variable interest rates '' and signing away my soul. I wanted to go to college, and Chase offered the solution. Problem solved!
During my first month at school, I received a piece of mail from Chase - my first piece of mail addressed to my dorm! I opened it up, and sat down in shock as I read the numbers printed on the paper - My {$20000.00} loan was in deferment until I graduated, but would continue to accrue interest during that time period. Over 30 years, I would end up paying {$100000.00} in interest - that 's a grand total of {$120000.00} for my XXXX year of college.
Once I 'd obtained my XXXX and my loan came out of deferment, I was sent a bill with a whopping total of {$34000.00} to start paying on - and a minimum monthly payment of {$330.00}. Out of that {$330.00}, only {$30.00} goes towards the principal of the loan - meaning I 'm paying {$300.00} a month in interest.
Drowning seems to be the only way to describe how I feel when faced with the reality of my situation - although helpless, ashamed, and depressed are right up there as well. After 3 years of making payments on this loan, I have n't even scratched the surface - my statement this month says I still owe {$34000.00}. The total has n't gone down despite paying every month, it 's gone up!
I 've tried educational counselors, financial advisors, loan forgiveness programs ( unavailable to private loan occupants ), renegotiating the terms of my loan with Chase - you name it, I 've tried it. I feel desperate and frustrated all at the same time ; I went to school to provide a better future for myself and my family, and yet I 've put myself into a predicament that I ca n't seem to climb out of. I 'm desperately trying to make something of myself, and yet my student loan for ONE year of college is truly making it impossible for me to move forward!
Times are tough for everyone - in a struggling economy, we 're all just trying to make it from paycheck to paycheck. My goals in life, however, are stymied by the weight of the decision I made at XXXX - the decision to believe and trust in a company as prosperous as Chase so that I could go to college and accomplish my dream of a degree.
Thank you for reading my story - and hopefully learning from my mistake!

False statements or representation | Company - XXXX - Bills for my XXXXProblem started over 2 years ago. They never sent bills and then turned me into collections for a large amount. No previous bill received. I paid the bill. The next year, after not receiving bills I called to find out what I owed and was told I had a credit with the company. They would notify when I began to owe them. Same story - a few months later got a collection letter. Once again it was a large amount but this time was unable to pay this. I was set up on a payment plan - I was told that all I owed was included in this plan. Few months later I was called by their collection department to pay an additional XXXX+. When I called them they said this as not included in the plan. They found this other amount. I have repeatedly explained the situation to them and they tell me it is taken care of but then it happens again. Finally in XXXX we put together a new payment plan of XXXX/month for a year and I was to be paid off in full. Today I received a collection letter for XXXX. I have never received a bill and they keep changing their stories. I have no idea any more what is right or wrong but I truly feel as if I am being cheated. I cancelled my XXXX because I just could n't put up with this anymore. I have enough health issues and I ca n't take this stress. How do I make this stop. I have received calls and notices and I am just tired of having to deal with his over and over again. I work in a professional office and I would have been fired by now if I handled the billing like this company does. If you google them you will see I m not alone in my complaint. Please help me. This also involves my credit but none of this has been my fault. Should n't they be held responsible on their end also? Thanks for any help you can give me. I do appreciate it.

Dealing with my lender or servicer | Before I XXXX to XXXX in 2008, I co-signed my wife 's private student loan since I was employed and she was a XXXX. I came home from XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. My only source of income is VA XXXX and XXXX. My wife left me and got a XXXX about a XXXX after I returned. I have been making monthly payments to her student loan company for a few years now. I have never missed a payment and my ex refuses to take responsibility. I have made every payment but have also pleaded with the private lender to release me as a cosigner. They have refused, even after I have sent in a copy of my VA award letter stating I am a XXXX and XXXX XXXX veteran and I need my XXXX income to survive. I have pleaded with my congressman and senator to write a bill giving cosigner relief to XXXX and XXXX XXXX veterans. The XXXX Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX is XXXX of the lenders. Since I am a XXXX veteran from XXXX the service members civil relief act extends past my service. I informed them since I am a XXXX veteran they have to at least give me a 7 % APR under the Service Members Civil Relief Act and that request was denied. I believe that might be illegal. |
Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | XXXX also has an account listed by CCS Collections in the amount of {$81.00}. This account was paid directly to XXXX several months ago. I was never contacted by CCS by any means. The representative that I spoke with said the account would be deleted but she could not send in writing. She referred me to a website to print a paid letter. I have proof that I paid XXXX directly. |
Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | XXXX, acting this toime through West Asset Management , Inc, is making an attempt to falsely collect for a debt of {$150.00} that is supposedly for a signal booster that was never requested and never delivered because I did not have XXXX Service. |
Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | Received a call from this debt collector. They demanded paperwork that they refused to provide and refused to offer an alternative when informed that I could not fill out said paperwork or even find it. When I requested assistance, all XXXX persons spoken to refused to provide it and refused to provide any information on any XXXX assistance. They also refused to accept proof of XXXX and refused to make any accommodation stating that the phone was breaking up on my end ( and that they had " perfect phones '' ) and they did not understand me, but responded to statements easily and only claimed phone problems when I was attempting to explain my problem with them. They also heard all other dialogue excepting what they did not wish to ( e.g. that the amount they were demanding was a fraudulent transaction ). No names were given, when I indicated that no classes were taken nor permission to initiate what the representatives called a " loan '' the statement was ignored. I stated this XXXX times. In addition, no letters were sent indicating this debt even existed or that I had the right to dispute it. All XXXX representatives also threatened ( not stated, but VERY clearly threatened ) to not only report the debt if not paid today ( XX/XX/2015 ) but that the report would ( NOT could, but would without any doubt ) prevent me from obtaining a " mortgage, loan, credit card, and even cable/satellite '' in those exact words. Finally, the recorded portions of conversations were partial and started at varying ( and terribly convenient ) times.
The company provided only the name " Malcolm S. Collection '' and additional information was requested but never provided. I requested no further contact from them but XXXX additional pre-recorded calls were made after the request. |
Disclosure verification of debt | Calvary Portfolio Services was paid {$720.00} in 2013 in an effort to have them remove a collection from my XXXX and XXXX credit reports. Despite me never contracting with company I paid them because XXXX refused to collect the monies owed to them. I now have a delinquent XXXX entry and a Calvary Portfolio collection account for the same debt. I have made several calls to request deletion of improper entry to my credit report but was told it is not their policy to delete especially since I had already paid. I never received notices. The item just appeared on my credit report. I was never allowed to validate the debt. |
Improper contact or sharing of info | I owed money on a cable bill that was in collections with CBE Group. I have paid the bill on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and asked that the collection agency sent me something in writing showing that I settled the bill and they refuse to do so telling me that they do n't send out anything in writing. However, my wife just settled a debt she had with XXXX and have since received a written statement that the account was settled. I know I could get something in writing to show I paid but CBE Group is not willing to do so. I do n't know if this is legal and need for someone to look into to this and force them to comply and send a notice saying the account was settled. |
Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | In the last few years I have received repeated calls from various collection agencies for a debt that is not mine. They are calling for my ex husbands son. I have been divorced for XXXX years and he has never lived in my home and I have no relationship with him. I do not know how he continues to be associated with me or my family since the marriage was disolved a long time ago. When I ask to speak to a supervisor, I get disconnected. I have asked for them to stop but it seems to shift from agency to agency. Any adivice you can provide would be greatly appreciated. None of the agencies will tell me how they got my name and say it 's to protect their client. |
Improper contact or sharing of info | For the past week I have received calls from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Calls would come in everyother day with the exception of the past XXXX days. The past XXXX days have been everyday. Each time they called XXXX in a row. When I answered each time they hang up. Finally yesterday XXXX XXXX XXXX 2015, after getting hung up each time i answered, I called back to see who it was. The Company is called Bay Area Credit Services. The guy who answered wanted me to give him my social, I declined to shre that info with him and he declined to tell me the reason for their numerous calls to me. So i then told them to CEASE AND DECIST all calling to me. They promised to quit calling. This morning at XXXX, they did it again. So I called back and spoke with a " XXXX XXXX '' who advised me that his supervisors name was a " XXXX XXXX ''. He confirmed that yesterday I requested calls to stop, but then he began to argue with me as to what I meant. When I told him to Cease and Decist all calls, he said that it would only pertain to the XXXX phone number they reached me at. I am no Rocket Scientist but when someone says to Cease and Decist all calls to me, that should mean to quit calling me and communicate with me by other means such as by mail. I have yet to receive a letter of confirmation for a debt. |
Incorrect information on credit report | Experian has listed on my credit report a debt that was abolished by XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. This was a joint account as I co-signed for a coworker to purchase a used car. XXXX XXXX agreed to relieve me of all financial obligation, garnishments, and prompt deletion of credit entries in exchange for a one-time payment of {$3000.00}. The payment was immediately rendered and the stipulations were signed by a judge of the XXXX County District Court that same month. Experian keeps verifying the debt as valid because XXXX XXXX is supplying fictitious information because collection efforts remain in effect for second party on account. XXXX County District Court has assured me that they do not verify debts, make entries to credit reports or make deletions.
Equifax also has an account listed by XXXX Collections in the amount of {$81.00}. This account was paid directly to XXXX several months ago. I was never contacted by XXXX by any means. The representative that I spoke with said the account would be deleted but she could not send in writing. She referred me to a website to print a paid letter. I have proof that I paid XXXX directly.
Equifax is also listing the erroneous account by XXXX XXXX as past due in the amount of {$1500.00}. Equifax also has several collection accounts that have been paid and I have provided written proof supplied by the collection agency for medical bills. The companies are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX collections. The collection companies agreed to delete the entries electronically but they remain on my credit file.
Additionally, XXXX XXXX XXXX has an open claim with XXXX XXXX for damages on a vehicle that I rented in South Dakota from XXXX thru XXXX while on of several travel contracts for work at XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was never notified and allowed to investigate the validity of the debt. When I realized it on my credit report, I called XXXX XXXX and spoke with XXXX XXXX who agreed to delete the entry if I paid her because she did not believe the XXXX would pay the " extra fees ''. The was minor under baggage damage that was not visible to me when the vehicle was returned. I was made aware of the collection efforts when I checked my credit earlier this year. This account appears on my Experian credit report and was verified as valid. I never received notice of the debt. I was never allowed to investigate the validity of the alleged debt.
Lastly, XXXX XXXX XXXX was paid {$720.00} in XX/XX/XXXX in an effort to have them remove a collection from my Transunion and Experian credit reports. Despite me never contracting with company I paid them because XXXX refused to collect the monies owed to them. I now have a delinquent XXXX entry and a XXXX XXXX collection account for the same debt. I have made several calls to request deletion of improper entry to my credit report but was told it is not their policy to delete especially since I had already paid. I never received notices. The item just appeared on my credit report. I was never allowed to validate the debt. |
Disclosure verification of debt | A disputed account from AFNI came back verified from CRAs. I contacted AFNI on XXXX/XXXX/2015 via email making an FCRA 623 request for verification of account, including original contract, billing and any other documentation to substantiate this account and the billing of it. I received acknowledgement on XXXX/XXXX/2015 via email that my request was received and they would be in touch with me. I have heard nothing else to date from AFNI and they have failed to delete the negative info/account from my CRA as required per FCRA 623. Since the company has failed to reply to my FCRA 623 request I have no choice but to assume they are unable to verify this account and thereby they need to remove the negative information from my FCRA as they are perpetuating adverse action based on this reporting. |
Incorrect information on credit report | I have never had any XXXX with the IRS or the state and this info shows up on my credit report.

Communication tactics | I receive calls around XXXX on a XXXX basis. When I pick up the phone, no one is on the line. When I call the number back, the operator is reluctant to provide their name, the company name and they hang up before I can get the company address. |
Improper use of my credit report | Disputed unauthorized inquiry on my credit reports ; Equifax & XXXX stated I needed to send letter to company who placed inquiry and state it was fraudulent and request removal. Sent letter to XXXX and XXXX stated it was for review process ; but did n't open account until XX/XX/XXXX. Inquiries are for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, & XX/XX/XXXX XXXX was for XXXX XXXX. Never requested credit from company those dates. |
Taking/threatening an illegal action | In XXXX XXXX, I pulled a copy of my XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX credit reports and noticed that there was a judgment listed in the amount of {$1700.00} ( Case # XXXX ) that was filed in XXXX County, Georgia. I disputed the debt, and it came back verified. I contacted the XXXX County court via certified mail and asked for the judgment to be set aside per I unaware any court date regarding this matter that the XXXX states that I did not show for, nor was I aware that a XXXX judgment had been granted against me. Furthermore, I was not provided with the debt verification that I requested, which the XXXX acknowledges as receiving in the attached documents. This judgment shows on my credit reports as being granted in XXXX, of which time I was a resident of XXXX County, not XXXX County. The plaintiff responded to my XXXX to set aside and asked that my request be denied. On Wednesday, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I received a " XXXX '' in the mail from XXXX, claiming an amount of {$2400.00}, plus the XXXX cost of {$51.00}. I have not heard from this company regarding this alleged debt until I contact the XXXX County Court asking for them to set aside the judgment after I noticed it on my credit reports. Also, I have not received the debt verification that I initially requested showing that this alleged debt belongs to me. |
Credit reporting company's investigation | I had a state tax lien on my CR. The state withdrew the liability and I was sent a letter to verify the withdrawal as well as a court filed CERTIFICATE OF RELEASE. I was assured by the state, once I sent that to all XXXX bureaus, the CB agency would delete the tax lien from my CR 's. I did as required. RESULTS? NOTHING DELETED!
Equifax told me that a " certificate of release '' is not a withdrawal, and the attached withdrawal letter is not valid ( A FORMAL CA FTB LETTER that said I was not liable for debt and the balance formally reporting should be deleted as balance was {$0.00} by withdrawal ). I told Equifax it was supporting evidence with the filed Certificate of Release that was an official copy on record! They told me the tax lien stays and they verified it with the County. I called the county recorder 's office and they told me, " NO they do not verify with us because we do not report to any bureaus ''. The State XXXX also does not report to any credit bureau. So how do they get our public records?
The bureaus get the info by sending 3rd parties out to county recorder 's offices and collect all public records filed in the court! That is how the bureaus get public records. More importantly the county also told me, if they verified info on me, they would have seen there is a release and it should have been deleted from CR.
After 2 hours arguing my case with Equifax, I was angry and frustrated. I told them, I gave you Official State, Federal and Local Govt documents stating the lien is released. I gave you supporting evidence. Now, you ( Equifax ) give me the law that says the lien stays on my report with a withdrawal of liability and a release of lien! They told me " If you paid ... '' I said, I DID NOT PAY BECAUSE IT WAS WITHDRAWN! They told me, they would file another dispute and 'verify with the county '. I told them, that is useless because you actually do n't verify because if you did, you would know that State of CA only has XXXX legal certificate they file with the courts for withdrawal : THE CERTIFICATE of RELEASE. Yes, I verified this for the XXXX time with CA XXXX which they told me that is the only certificate they have ever sent out and they did not understand what the CB 's are doing! They also mentioned that they send them out daily but they do n't delete from records after the certificate of release has been sent out. And it is n't the county who is has to delete it ( because the court recorder 's office is like a library only archiving what has been filed in court ; they can not delete anything from credit bureaus if they wanted to ). The only one who can do that with all supporting evidence of proof ... is the CREDIT BUREAUS!
Let me also mention, that Equifax has outsourced their phone agents in the XXXX and that 'supervisor ' could not comprehend putting all evidence together to prove my dispute! When I forced he state to me the XXXX. Code Section law that says a withdrawal and certificate of release is not valid proof for deletion? He stumbled over ambiguous robot wording that is printed on the back of a Dispute Results page. Basically, he tried to push me off the phone and told me I had to call the county ( AGAIN ). I said NO! Transfer me to higher managment person in the XXXX!
I was transferred to a gal in XXXX Georgia. Again, she told me same thing even after I told her " My Fed, State and Local Govts all said you have to delete that off my records and they stand behind me ... what do you got? '' She also could not show me law that says it stays and I told me, " Ma'am, I will re-open dispute and verify with county ''.
In the words of the County : " That is just circular thinking! Tell them to delete it '' In the words of CA State XXXX : " We only file a Certificate of Release ; the bureau has to delete the lien off your CB ''.
In the meantime, CB is over 90 days for correction! |
Improper use of my credit report | Basically here 's what 's happened ... ..In XXXX I contacted a local Mortgage Brokerage, preparing to find a Refinance for the home I had recently bought through a buyer/seller agreement. I was wanting to know where my credit score stood and also to find a mortgage company to handle my refi.
Most of us are ignorant of Credit Bureau requirements or what goes into making a credit score. I thought that by paying all my bills on time would buy me a good credit score! Well, a " few '' Mortgage companies started " looking into '' my credit worthiness, and I did n't know what that involved until much later when XXXX XXXX " found me ''. Before and after I was complying with their requests ( for 9 months!!! ) Other Mortgage companies were at the same time, unbeknown to me, also making Credit Inquiries! : - ( That put the number of inquiries, without my knowledge, up to a total of XXXX with Equifax!!! And in turn brought my credit score below acceptable limits with XXXX XXXX! Way below! I 've tried contacting Equifax but to no avail, round and round I went and did n't speak to anybody. They even have me living in XXXX, Florida and I 've never been to Florida in my entire lifetime! When I view those " inquiries '' I do n't recognize the dates, and certainly have n't made any attempts to get credit, seeing I was in the midst of getting the Refi with XXXX XXXX. I do n't even recognize them, who they are, or why they are there. Certailly not by MY PERMISSION!!! I did give into one " Prequalified Credit Card '' with XXXX because they offered a XXXX cent discount on their gasoline, but after XXXX XXXX did n't recognize one of my payments that I clearly made, and it counted as a late payment, I payed them off once and for all. When I called XXXX XXXX Customer Service and argues my point in a business-like manner they turned me over to the Supervisor who placed the phone on the table and just left me hanging on the line!
Anyways, the " XXXX '' ... ... .I do n't think that 's fair. To have someone to make inquiries without knowing about it, or the long lasting smear it makes on the credit score for two years, come to find out, after the horse is out of the barn! XXXX did n't show that many, but, I think, XXXX. Even those, some of which I do n't know about and several are the same companies inquiring and I do n't have a clue, except that they 're likely Mortgage Companies Inquiries. I was right In the midst of a Mortgage Company deal awaiting the closing! So why would I be making, knowingly, more inquiries? Hellooooo!!!
Now you are in the credit/financial business, I 'm not. You know what is fair and acceptable, right and wrong. I feel that I was wrongfully Inquired about and there 's nothing I can do about it. I pay all ALL my bills/credit cards, etc more than " On Time ''. I dropped/closed the account with XXXX XXXX after their irresponsible action.They were also doing business with XXXX, whom I 've had for quite a while, and did the same. I changed form XXXX XXXX to the regular XXXX account and pay early, not even on time.
Listen, I do n't back down from my responsibilities. If I 've done something amiss, I take the consequences and go on and learn from my mistake and try not to do it again. But by golly I sure get riled up when something is done beyond my control and knowledge or permission and I have to eat Crow! I do n't think Equifax quite qualifies as, " God ''.
Thank you for listening to my lengthy explanation. Anything that you can do will be very much appreciated. And If you ca n't, no harm is done, XXXX! |
Disclosure verification of debt | Charged me for a utilities and refused to accept proof that I was not residing at property at time bill was made. No record of call to disconnect. I paid this company 's hired collection agency ( Assoiated Credit Services ) {$410.00} in order to remove a debt from my credit reports related to a bill that I did not make for utilities. I have explained that I moved away from property. I left the state for a contract travel assignment for work on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX was notified on XX/XX/XXXX but they conveniently lost the record of my call. The owner of the property will not remove it due to a unrelated dispute. The property was vacant but billing continued for XXXX months after I vacated. I received a bill on XX/XX/XXXX and promptly notified XXXX XXXX that there had been a mistake and requested service be disconnected. There was no previous balance due. I was told that there would be an investigation and I would receive a final bill minus the time I was away from property but I would be contacted by a supervisor if they needed my documents of proof. I never received any further correspondence. I restarted my credit monitoring service a few months ago and noticed that I had been referred for collection. I immediately called XXXX XXXX to resolve matter but was informed that ASC was in full control of collections and they refused to accept a payment. The representative also suggested I file a dispute with the credit bureaus and explain the matter. and/or file a dispute with the credit bureau. I called ASC and explained the whole ordeal of moving and not being notified or aware of bill or collection efforts. I was told to call XXXX XXXX to have matter corrected and/or dispute the inaccuracy with the credit bureaus. I explained that I was willing to pay debt to expedite the removal despite not owing bill, the ASC representative agreed and said I would get a receipt in mail but they could not put in writing that they would delete. I was told by XXXX XXXX and Associated credit services to " call the credit bureau and challenge the debt ''. I did, XXXX reports that ASC verified the debt was valid and that no payment had been made. I have a contract for employment with a start date XX/XX/XXXX in South Dakota on a remote XXXX XXXX. It is not possible that I made the bill for utilities. Someone was residing at the residence. I am positive I called to disconnect service. |
Communication tactics | Default : Collection Agency Subtle Scam?
What protection do we ( age XXXX ) have when a collection agency ( this XXXX in XXXX XXXX ) places us on 'default ' through their lawyers because they allegedly did not receive the check we sent?
Our records show we have been diligently paying for a medical bill ( incurred during an emergency ) with this collection agency, in spite of the fact that the hospital kept sending us " 0 '' Amount You Owe -- then popped this Collection Agency ( Please see attached document ).
Abruptly, half way sending our payments - during the tax refund season at that - we got a call a day after the 'default day ' that we are on default ; subtly informing us this would be forwarded to the credit bureau.
We are buying a house, about to make the walk-through next month ; you could imagine how conscientious we are on every step of the way regarding credit issues.
Can this collection agency simply claim, " Sorry, you defaulted, we did not receive the check ...? " We never lost any check we issued -- we make sure we mailed letters/checks directly with our post office.
I wonder, as a XXXX, how many defaults are incurred due to non-receipt of check payments by this particular XXXX XXXX collection agency, or possibly other collection agencies? Would you happen to have data on this concern?
In addition, is it the practice of collection agency NOT to send bill or payment confirmation? This collection agency said, " We do n't do that. " This is an alert I would like to share.
I would be happy to send you the details.
Have a wonderful day. |
Communication tactics | US Bank calls me XXXX times a day. As early as XXXX. I have told them that I am on medical XXXX and that I have XXXX. I also told them that I get paid on the XXXX of the month only. They continue to call and ask for the payment. Then they say can you borrow money from friends? They XXXX my van in XXXX. I paid {$1200.00} on XXXX XXXX to get it back. Then they gave me the runaround for a week before I could get it back. Then I owed another payment on XXXX XXXX. I told them that I would pay them XXXX and a half payments on XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I have to keep my phone turned off to keep them from harassing me. My doctors ca n't call about appointments and test results. I am also XXXX and this harassment sets off the XXXX that I have because of the XXXX. This goes on month after month. If I accidently answer the phone, they ask me every time why am I late with the payment. I could tell them this XXXX times a day and they will call again and ask the same questions. |
Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | Received a letter from American Coradius International LLC stating that I owe them for a collection for XXXX. The amount that it 's states I owe is XXXX. I checked my account on XXXX and it states my balance is {$0.00} and I do not have an open credit card account on XXXX. I did a credit report and not does it show I have an open account at XXXX indicating my identity has not been stolen. I do not know why I received this collection unless it is a mistake on their part and I do not want this to effect my credit. |
Dealing with my lender or servicer | I am the co-signer of the loan and I believe the borrower has " tricked '' me into this private student loan obligation by misrepresentation mainly because of my XXXX and XXXX which resulted in bad financial decision. Since my XXXX and XXXX are worsening by every minute the borrower does not pay a single dime and deliberately avoid my calls and his obligation of this private student loan, I have wrote a letter to the student loan lender to ask for " co-signer release '' because of my medical condition. I have not received a response yet from the student loan lender but I highly doubt they would release a me since I pay each payment on time with a stable income. |
Incorrect information on credit report | Experian has listed on my credit report a debt that was abolished by XXXX XXXX in XXXX 2013. This was a joint account as I co-signed for a coworker to purchase a used car. XXXX XXXX agreed to relieve me of all financial obligation, garnishments, and prompt deletion of credit entries in exchange for a one-time payment of {$3000.00}. The payment was immediately rendered and the stipulations were signed by a judge of the XXXX County District Court that same month. Experian keeps verifying the debt as valid because XXXX XXXX is supplying fictitious information because collection efforts remain in effect for XXXX party on account. XXXX County District Court has assured me that they do not verify debts, make entries to credit reports or make deletions.
XXXX also has an account listed by XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$81.00}. This account was paid directly to XXXX several months ago. I was never contacted by XXXX by any means. The representative that I spoke with said the account would be deleted but she could not send in writing. She referred me to a website to print a paid letter. I have proof that I paid XXXX directly.
XXXX is also listing the erroneous account by XXXX XXXX as past due in the amount of {$1500.00}. XXXX also has several collection accounts that have been paid and I have provided written proof supplied by the collection agency for medical bills. The companies are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX collections. The collection companies agreed to delete the entries electronically but they remain on my credit file.
Additionally, XXXX XXXX XXXX has an open claim with XXXX XXXX for damages on a vehicle that I rented in South Dakota from XX/XX/XXXX thru XX/XX/XXXX while on of several travel contracts for work at XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was never notified and allowed to investigate the validity of the debt. When I realized it on my credit report, I called XXXX XXXX and spoke with XXXX XXXX who agreed to delete the entry if I paid her because she did not believe the XXXX would pay the " extra fees ''. The was minor under baggage damage that was not visible to me when the vehicle was returned. I was made aware of the collection efforts when I checked my credit earlier this year. This account appears on my Experian credit report and was verified as valid. I never received notice of the debt. I was never allowed to investigate the validity of the alleged debt.
Lastly, XXXX XXXX XXXX was paid {$720.00} in XX/XX/XXXX in an effort to have them remove a collection from my XXXX and Experian credit reports. Despite me never contracting with company I paid them because XXXX refused to collect the monies owed to them. I now have a delinquent XXXX entry and a XXXX XXXX collection account for the same debt. I have made several calls to request deletion of improper entry to my credit report but was told it is not their policy to delete especially since I had already paid. I never received notices. The item just appeared on my credit report. I was never allowed to validate the debt. |
Incorrect information on credit report | I reported this before & never got a reply. XXXX XXXX verbally agreed to let me make payments. I made all but {$35.00}. I never got a receipt for any payments made nor was I contacted about the remaining balance. I was told it would be removed from my credit if I made payments. Instead they garnished my wages for {$35.00} plus fees. It was never removed from my report & now shows I was in collections for the full amount negatively affecting my credit. They were in breach of a verbal agreement & I would like it corrected immediately. |
Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | I received a notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. today, XXXX XXXX for the first time and the notice is dated XXXX XXXX offering me Tax Season Discount Opportunity to pay account balance of {$8600.00}. According to the notice, Citibank was the original creditor. I have lived at my current address since XX/XX/XXXX and this is the first time I have been contacted about this debt. I also have a freeze on my credit since around XX/XX/XXXX and I have no collection on my credit report. I do not owe any debt that I have not paid. This collection agency failed to first write attempting to collect a debt letter. This collection agency failed to grant this consumer the opportunity to dispute the debt. This collection agency demanded payment whether or not this consumer in fact did owe this debt. I dispute owing the debt in question. Thank you. |
Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | The California Service Bureau contacted me XXXX XXXX, 2015 to advise me of an alleged unpaid bill for {$34.00} ( Creditor " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Region '' ). I responded to their XXXX XXXX, 2015 inquiry immediately asking what the charge was for, and who authorized them to attempt the collection. I called CSB and got them to provide contact information and proof of authorization. I 've now received a XXXX letter from CSB, notifying me that I have been charged interest ( {$1.00} ), I contacted the healthcare provider 's office and was given contact information for their Billing Office. The doctor 's billing office was unable to find any unpaid or past due bills relative to my name or account. CSB has not responded to my request that they provide specific information to me concerning the path of this questionable charge. To date, they have not supplied me any proof of this bill, or any proof of their legal assignment to collect alleged monies from me on behalf of their medical client. |
Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | I received a letter from Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC today on XXXX XXXX XXXX about a debt they purchased in XXXX. I paid the amount owed back in XXXX to clear the debt. The other problem is that had I not paid the debt is that the statute of limitations ran out in XXXX.
They state in the letter " Because of the age of your debt, we will not sue you for it and we will not report it to any credit reporting agency. '' If I receive another letter from them can I take them to court? |
Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | Received a letter from XXXX XXXX stating that I owe them for a collection for PayPal. The amount that it 's states I owe is XXXX. I checked my account on PayPal and it states my balance is {$0.00} and I do not have an open credit card account on PayPal. I did a credit report and not does it show I have an open account at PayPal indicating my identity has not been stolen. I do not know why I received this collection unless it is a mistake on their part and I do not want this to effect my credit. |
Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | I believed my identity was stolen and filed various disputes with credit bureaus on debts that were not mine and was successful in eliminating them. Now transworld systems is trying to charge me again for these debts harrasing me. They call on weekends early morning and night and they keep asking for personal information by asking me to " verify '' when the debts are not mine!! |
Unable to get credit report/credit score | In XXXX I applied for a short term loan with my financial institution XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have been a member of this banking organization for 40 years. The application was not approved, due to a credit report received from Experian. Several visits to the credit union attempting to resolve this issue were unsuccessful. I was advised that this was an issue which I needed to address personally. I submitted a dispute on-line and a phone call but continued to get the same results. After complaining to my credit union again, they submitted a formal dispute to Experian, because they should have been listed on the credit report. Final results was on last week produced promising resolution. After three ( XXXX ) months of disputes, someone discovered the truth. |
Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed | I XXXX college in XX/XX/XXXX and left XXXX, XXXX to attend XXXX XXXX XXXX training in XXXX, XXXX. Five years later in XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from the National Credit Audit Corporation ( NCAC ) saying that I owed {$270.00} for damage that had occurred to the apartment that I was living in while in college. I took the letter to my legal department because it seemed weird that an agency would contact me almost five years later about a claim that had materialized out of thin air. My legal department advised me that it was probably a debt collector scam that they unfortunately see frequently with military members due to the frequent moves inherent with military life. Legal told me to respond asking for more information about the debt assuming that it would fall by the wayside. NCAC responded with an itemized list of maintenance charges ( from XXXX XXXX properties, the apartment complex that I had previously lived in ) that I had never seen before. The list was dated a full month before I had supposedly vacated the apartment and yet I was only seeing it for the XXXX time five years later. When I had vacated the apartment in XX/XX/XXXX, it had been under good standing with the rental company ; I understood that I would not be getting the full amount of my initial deposit back because it was standard practice to repaint the walls and have the carpets cleaned using the initial deposit. I again consulted my legal department who, after some research found that XXXX XXXX properties and therefore NCAC, were in violation of Title VI Chapter 83 section 83.49 paragraph 3 ( A ) of the XXXX Statutes which states " the landlord shall have 30 days to give the tenant written notice by certified mail to the tenant 's last known mailing address of his or her intention to impose a claim on the deposit and the reason for imposing the claim.If the landlord fails to give the required notice within the 30-day period, he or she forfeits the right to impose a claim upon the security deposit. '' XXXX XXXX properties failed to notify me within 30 days, much less via certified mail to my last known address, which was provided, and so in my opinion, the debt for damages ( that seem to have materialized when I was not around to contest them ) is not a valid claim. |
Dealing with my lender or servicer | Transworld now owns this debt but I never received any notice from anyone saying the ownership has changed. I have tried to contact XXXX XXXX but he never returned my calls which he is suppose to do. XXXX XXXX XXXX is a horrible servicer because they are constantly giving misinformation. I made a payment on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX which was XXXX which XXXX XXXX claims was a regular weekday but and their office was closed and the system allowed me to make a payment on that day, I also made payments on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX which was made on a weekend which XXXX claims you ca n't do. I was credit reported on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX,, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, and XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, now I made a payment on XXXX but it did not post until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX because they were closed on Friday, the day after XXXX which they reported to my credit even though the payment was there, the supervisor advised because the payment was made on the XXXX it will be updated, a payment on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX was posted but the payment was made on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX which was a Saturday but XXXX claims you ca n't make a payment on weekends which I have on numerous times, I also made a payment on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX therefore the credit reporting needs to be removed. This is illegal due to the FCRA because XXXX XXXX XXXX claims their system " credit reported '' me. I can take legal action against Transworld and XXXX XXXX XXXX for illegal FCRA. XXXX needs a set standard as to when credit will be reported because I was told it was based on when the payment was made, since they removed the credit reporting for XXXX and XXXX they should remove it for XXXX since they can see the payment was made. Like I advised before, I made a payment on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX which was XXXX and the payment did not post until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ( which is not my fault ) and I also made a payment on a Saturday which was XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and it did not until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, the supervisor removed it because she states they go by the date the payment was made. Clearly XXXX XXXX does not know what she is talking about and clearly needs to look the calendar for XXXX because they removed credit reporting for the same issue but not willing to remove it now. I could lose my job over this and then I will have take legal action against you due to XXXX because you now own this debt. All of the negative credit reporting should be removed, I already spoke with a FCRA attorney and he advised me that XXXX can legally remove XXXX 's credit reporting because the payment was made on the XXXX which they acknowledged and every time I ask for your company 's information, they are unwilling to give it to me which I should have by law since your company is receiving my money every month. XXXX also makes it difficult to make complaints because they do not take any responsibility for anything, the only reason why any credit reporting was removed was because I complained about it. I want all the negative reporting removed so I can get the private loans with another provider which I ca n't do unless the credit reporting is removed, private lenders are credit based so I would need a good credit score to get a favorable rate. Once I am able to get the private loans with another provider, you will be able to get your money because I ca n't continue to deal with this situation with XXXX and I ca n't afford to lose my job over this. |

Incorrect information on credit report | Hello, I requested my credit report from TransUnion only to find out that both my information and my sister 's info is mixed together under our individual SSN. When they pulled out my info with my SSN it has her name as Personal Information and my name as XXXX. The same thing happened to my sister as well when she checked her info with her SSN.
