Product: Consumer Loan

When meeting with a Consumer lawyer for another matter, the subject of online installment loans came up as being illegal in the state of Virginia. In order to charge usury rates of more than 12 % the lender has to be licensed in Virginia. If their name is not this list, XXXX, then they are not allowed to charge more than 12 %. Virginia law 6.2-306 states that a person can not waive away the rights to the usury laws of their state. Since, the contract is illegal it is not binding. I was told to revoke their ACH rights and to cease payments immediately. At that time I had already paid XXXX for a loan of XXXX. I have paid back their principal and the 12 % interest. I was told that due to this breach of the law that under Virginia Code .2-1541. A. Unlawful contracts void ; recovery of amounts paid. B. The lender on any loan for which a person has taken any action in its making or collection in violation of 6.2-1501 shall not collect, receive, or retain any principal, interest, or charges whatsoever with respect to the loan, and any principal or interest paid on the loan shall be recoverable by the person by or for whom payment was made. 

While I do appreciate the loan i do not appreciate the fact that they take advantage of the financial needs of people they deemed easy prey. We believe what they write and assume that it is legal. I guess they are banking on the ignorance of their borrower. 

They like to respond that they are licensed to lend money in Virginia. However, they fail to address the fact that no one at the Bureau of Financial Institutions for Virginia can find that proof. 

While they may be able to lend to Virginians it should be done legally. They are not a bank, therefore they may not export deregulation from my home state or preempt my home state protections.

What Happened : On [ XXXX ], I noticed that Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX are reporting inaccurate information on my credit report. The issue involves 11 closed accounts that are showing late payments and a balance totaling {$22000.00}. This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681. 

Actions Taken : - My Actions : - On XXXX, I sent written disputes to Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX regarding the inaccurate late payment and balance information being reported. 
- On XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, I called each credit agency to follow up on the disputes. 

- Credit Agencies ' Actions : - Despite my efforts, the disputes have not been verified, nor have the inaccurate information been deleted or corrected to reflect updated information. 

Outcome : I assert that each agency named above failed to conduct a reasonable investigation after receiving written disputes about the inaccuracies, as required under the FCRA, and failed to report accurate information, breaching the FCRA laws ( 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681s-2 ( b ) ). I am seeking the removal of the inaccurate information from my credit report and an update to my credit status.

Today, XX/XX/2018, my employer was served with a wage garnishment order for me. I had no prior knowledge of the potential for this to occur. No one called me or sent me letters. Suddenly they served my employer with papers to garnish for a debt that is over 10 years old.

I recently discovered my credit score had been affected as a charge card debt had been increased. As I have only a single credit card tie as alarming. I s som research to find the card was issued by The XXXX XXXX, of which I have no knowledge. I immediately reached out to the store only to confirm that neither my name, address, prior address or SSN had any association with this account. They then directed me to their fraud department to open an investigation. In the meantime I disputed with all 3 credit reporting agencies. I received my first response from Experian that as the card issuer confirms the information to be correct, it will remain. This is insane. Whos card is this and how does this just happen? Im supposedly an Authorized User for whom?? I have not advised or approved this for anyone and to be penalized for this fraud is an outrage. I in turn have redisputed this bogus fraud. I am in the process of purchasing another home and will not have this negatively affect my forthcoming interest rate. As I plan to close within the next 60 days, your prompt attention and response is greatly appreciated. 

Many Thanks, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX

The public record in question has been reporting with an incorrect filing date. The judgement was paid in full when I was surprised with a document via Certified Mail. I contacted the collection agency ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) immediately and they told me the debt was from a hospital. I had been getting the run around from the hospital and my insurance company about this debt and then it got kicked to the collection agency. I would like to state that I paid off the judgement in full immediately after receiving the documents. The dates differ from each collection agency to the next as far as the filing date of XXXX/XXXX/10 to XXXX/XXXX/10 for the civil judgment. The dates simply do n't match up. It 's also frustrating when the original debt from the hospital was from years before that. This needs to be removed. This whole ordeal was a messy and heart-wrenching one for me years ago. I had a health problem so I went to get healthcare and the insurance and hospital billing were n't seeing eye to eye and I was n't being kept in loop. It gets sent to collections and I get a surprise judgment against me and I had to scramble to pay it in full. Anyways, that 's my personal story. I 've grown wiser. The whole deal was a fly by the pants operation and it gets reported wrong to the collection agencies. Thank you for reading this. I do appreciate it.

Related to complaint XXXX. Without a signed contract ( even an electronic signature ), a company can not provide a legal basis the account was opened by the person in question. Your office continues to state I opened this account and benefited from this account but have yet to provide even an electronic signature bearing my signature. Note, " When a person opens a fraudulent account, they use another person 's personal verified information but have the account information sent to another address ''. This was the case here! By your own words, you agree with these statements. 

Please note the following : 1. I have never lived at the address in Alabama where the account was opened showing this account was fraudulent when it was opened. This account was opened by a person with the last four XXXX living in Alabama. 

2. The letter regarding {$200.00} was not included for review and signature. Also, after receiving your letter stating I notified your office regarding the account was when I sent your office a letter stating this account was fraudulent and started the dispute process. Further, I have never needed to file for bankruptcy as my current credit card utilization is 11 % out of $ XXXX. IF proven, I would/ could pay this account in full - but your organization refuses to provide documentation. I have worked extremely hard to maintain my credit rating. 

3. The lawfirm is the second to contact me and decline to pursue collection because the information can not be verified by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Again, you agree you do not have a signed ( even electronic signature ) proving the account was opened by me but another person from Alabama with the last four XXXX. 

4. XXXX and XXXX credit agencies have deleted the information because the account can not be verified in accordance with the FCRA.

5. Your office is in violation of the FCRA. If you could provide ANY signed documentation I opened this account, you would provide it! The bank is intentionally ruining my credit rating with XXXX.

My family and I were and have been deeply effected by XXXX as many have. I lost my job immediately in XXXX of XXXX and did get another till just this past XX/XX/XXXX. The lender was helpful in beginning and able to put payments at end. I was in contact multiple times of my situation. Then fell so behind this past XXXX into XXXX. They said no more XXXX help even though many of deeply impacted and still feeling effects. I cant loose my car, or I cant work. I am trying to catch up as I resumed work and prayed and begged for help. I would with everything going on they would help see by payment while XXXX was large a few small that was trying. I had fallen almost XXXX behind because of XXXX out of work. Every other bill from utility to mortgage has been forgiven and worked with us. If they would help with the amount of XXXX I fell behind on and move to end so I could get caught up and back on track now that I am working that would beyond a blessing but instead lets kick us while we are down threaten to take car and now I go to make a regular payment for XXXX only to find out they charge off account. I need my car and I cant just go get another. I am desperately trying and have been in contact countless times about this. XXXX is not made up and many of lost work and regular wages and while for many life resumed to normal it not for all. Everyone circumstances are different every one has struggled and I just think in a time where this deeply effected us and still has an impact and we are trying to come out the other side and survive this they should be willing to help more or make the situation worse and more stressful for those of us trying so hard to come back from something we never planned for and that was complete out of our control. My hope is this will urge then to help more and not charge off my account but work on my balance I fell behind on so that now that I am working I can make my regular payment. Very hard to do so when you cant pay the XXXX in XXXX lump. I just pray they will help.

We would like to file a complaint against Mr. Cooper and XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX. We have been fighting to save our home since XXXX. We are now in the process of moving out of the home we have lived in for 25 years as XXXX Mortgage is evicting us. 

We are sending along email chains trying to resolve this going back to XXXX. 

Both Mr. Cooper and XXXXXXXX XXXX gave uis completely different answers each time we called and spoke with represenatives on how we could keep our home. At one point, a representative for Mr. Cooper laughed at us for trying to resolve this. XXXX did make an offer for us to buy our home back for {$250000.00} after it was foreclosed on but it it pretty much impossilbe to get a mortgage with a foreclosure on your credit report. We did try but were unsucessful. Why would they offer for us to repurchase? We absolutely do believe that several things were done incorrectly. 

We also received notice ( attached in the email chains ) after the sale date that XXXX XXXX had rescinded the forelosure. At that point we tried to work with XXXX to save our home. We were told by their representatives over the phone that we qualified for a loan modification. After several phone call, this never happened. It does not seem like any of the reprentatives we spoke with at both Mr. Cooper and XXXX have any idea what they are doing. We completely understand that we fell behind on our mortgage. We made several attempts to find a solution so that we could remain in our home. Then COVID happened and attempting to get any kind of help from Mr. Cooper was impossible. We could not even reach someone by phone. We offered to Mr. Cooper to bring our loan current before the sale date and were denied. 

So as of today, XX/XX/XXXX we are preparing to move out of the home that we built on land given to use by my husbands parents. We have fought long and hard to come to some sort of resolution to remain in our home but it has fallen on deaf ears. 

It is very sad that big companies like Mr. Cooper and XXXX are doing this to homeowers. From all our researching we are well aware that we are not the only ones this has happened to.

My card was closed because I filed an excessive number of disputes. What would be considered an excessive was never disclosed anywhere. They also said I did n't submit information with disputes, where most of the time I did, but the times I did n't were because I wasnt able to. 

There were also errors made in how they dealt with me asking for information in reguard to a transaction from a merchant. They considered that a dispute and ultimately used that to close my account. And they will not let me reach out to anybody else.
