They accepted that they had not billed me at the right address. A lady by the name XXXX assured that her office " would pull out '' the charges from Harris and Harris and would check the status of my account since my secondary had paid most of the charges and more than two ( 2 ) years had already passed.Nonetheless Harris and Harris kept on calling at different times of the day and evening, even on Sundays, demanding immediate payment of the " outstanding '' debt.On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I called Harris and Harris and talked to a gentleman named XXXX who apologized for the inconvenience and assured me that Harris and Harris would withdraw the charges since his records showed the payment made by XXXX.According to him, XXXX had also made a payment on the account.

Consumer complaint: I left a voicemail message for an attorney. I received a call back from XXXX XXXX impersonating an attorney. I then asked for verification of the debt which he refused to do. He then agreed to send me some paperwork and then refused to accept the address I provided him. They have never sent me anything regarding notice of the right to dispute the debt. The information they provided to me over the phone about the debt was incorrect. I have told them numerous times that the amount of the debt is wrong and they still keep trying to collect on that amount instead of requesting proof from the original creditor.

Consumer complaint: I was selling a truck on XXXX. A buyer emailed me to say he wanted the truck. I was selling the truck for {$1800.00}. He said he was going to send me a cashier 's check for {$3300.00} because he was in another state and he wanted me to send money to his car mover who would come with a trailer and pick up the truck. I took the cashiers check to my bank, Wells Fargo. I told the teller I was suspicious of the check and that I would like a manager to look at it and tell me whether it was legitimate. XXXX XXXX XXXX, the service manager of the branch, came out and looked at the check and said, " It looks good to me, I do n't see any telltale signs of it being fraudulent. '' She also said, " once the money posts to your account, the money is yours and you can spend it. '' She told me I could also send it off to someone to check it for validity, but I told her that if she said it was good I trusted her. She said it was. I deposited the check that day. XXXX XXXX then told me that, since this was a Friday, if the money posted to my account on Monday then go ahead and spend it. I waited the weekend and the money posted to my account. I sent {$1400.00} of the money to the address the buyer provided in New York.I first used my portion to buy food. I then began paying off debts. I bought some clothes, and put some gas in my car. The next day the buyer emailed me again saying that his uncle was sick and that he needed the rest of the money back and that I could keep the truck. At that point it seemed to me that it had to be a scam and I immediately called the bank. The bank told me that they had decided it was fraudulent and they had taken all of the money in my account to begin to pay off the fraudulent check. There was approximately {$700.00} of the truck money remaining in the account. They took that. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, my Social Security payment was direct deposited into the account and they took it. I went to Legal Aid and they called the bank. XXXX XXXX admitted to my attorney that she had told me all that I stated above. She did this both on the phone and in emails. She lied and said that she asked me whether I was supposed to send money somewhere. She never asked me that. I would never have used that check without XXXX XXXX 's approval. But for her telling me to go ahead this mess would never have happened. My attorney called the bank because they are still pursuing me for the rest of the money. I told the bank that I thought the right thing for them to do was to write off the loss and let me close the account. They have refused to do so. Wells Fargo preyed on me and now they are continuing to do so. This is not right.

Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I went online to pull my free annual credit reports from all XXXX agencies. I went first to Experian. There was an ad for a " free FICO score for {$1.00} '' which I was going to request but when I read their disclaimer that their {$1.00} " free '' FICO score IS NOT used by lenders I decided not to. 
The Experian website is difficult to use and very confusing unless you want to give Experian your hard-earned money. Printing out a readable copy of my " free '' Experian credit report was confusing and difficult. I use computer ALL the time and prepare tax returns for a living so if I say it 's confusing, IT 'S CONFUSING! I exited the site then and there realizing that their website is not REALLY designed to help you find your free credit report. I then made my way to 'annualcreditreport.com '. I was eventually able to print all XXXX credit reports on XX/XX/XXXX ONLY. Experian charged me {$21.00} for a " free credit report ''. .Experian debited my bank account for {$21.00} on XXXX XXXX, 2016 ( 10 days later )!!!. I ordered nothing from them. I tried to contact Experian about this but they have no customer service number and no information about their overcharging customers. I only have XXXX credit report from Experian dated XXXX XXXX, 2016 that should be free. I did not order anything from Experian to my knowledge nor did I receive any receipt or communication from Experian stating that I had done so. I would like a refund immediately of the {$21.00} Experian took from my bank account without my knowledge or consent.

This collection representative is abusing her position and not giving me a settlement now just because I asked for a detail bill this is against the law when I am trying to settle this bill, XXXX XXXX XXXX of National Credit System continues to abuse her authority just because i do n't know who else to turn to and to get this matter resolved.

Consumer complaint: We have XXXX auto loans with Ally fin. XXXX is perfect XXXX is total disaster. We bought XX/XX/XXXX and paid auto pay on both every month in XX/XX/XXXX loan XXXX 's auto payment was cancelled by Ally by mistake they never contacted me ( loan XXXX still perfect ) I got a letter saying we owed 2 months + late fees I paid over the phone one payment and was told I could resume auto pay once acct was current. I have continued to pay each month sometimes early and every month Ally says we are one payment behind because they apply my payment to the previous month and report it the the credit bureaus as missed payment ( not late but missed ) they have done this 8 times and now have ruined our credit. My husband and I have both tried numerous times to explain this and writing letters emails calling etc to fix this to no avail. My husband works for XXXX and they use Ally for most loans there and we have had such a devestating experience with them he has informed his bosses as to the trouble this has caused. I have all documentation supporting my payments and every month they do it again and again. I am unable to refinance my home because of them. I am considering getting an lawyer but do n't know where to go. My husband even offered to give them an additional payment if they fix our credit but we do n't trust them. If we pay them more how do we know they will really fix our credit score with regards to them. My husband is so upset that he has even considered telling them to just take the care back. Why would we do that though because we have made all of these payments. It does not make sense. We have XXXX car loans with them how can XXXX be perfect and XXXX be totally messed up? It is so frustrating and has really effected our life as we have XXXX kids and do n't make a lot of money and our only hope was to refinance our home as we have never been late in a payment and have good equity but our credit is low mostly because of Ally. Every time I call to speak with someone I am just treated like an XXXX and they just talk in circles and read from some script telling me how they understand and they are sorry and blah blah blah ... Oh and by the way when can we get that payment you owe? ughhhhhh!!!! I HATE ALLY!!!!! 
Please please help us. 
Thank you XXXX and XXXX XXXX

The supervisor then informed us that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. is trying collect for XXXX XXXX. We informed him that the only XXXX XXXX collection that we aware of is the one owned by The Bureaus Inc. and informed them that we sent them a request for Validation and written cease of telephone communications. We asked if The Bureaus Inc. sold the debt to XXXX XXXX and he informed me that they work on " behalf '' of The Bureaus Inc. and that they are their clients. We then asked why they were stating they were working on behalf of the Original Creditor XXXX XXXX because both he and the original caller stated they were calling on behalf of XXXX XXXX. The Bureaus is using another collection agency to collect a debt on their behalf, even though this agency is claiming to work for the XXXX XXXX. The Bureaus Inc. was given a request for Validation and a written cease of communication and are using another agency to communicate illegally.

Consumer complaint: Continental Finance -- Verve credit card Since opening the account in XXXX 2014, Continental has regularly charged late fees to my account and reported my account as late to the credit bureaus when that has not happened. Initially, issues began when the card had to be re-issued because the card had not been received. Although, I had not received the card, Continental began charging me fees on the account. Late fees on a card that I did not have! 
Since that time, I have been charged a late fee each month. This account is setup on bill pay through my financial institution. I have this account setup so that payments are received by Continental at least 2 days prior to the due date and I always pay more than the minimum amount due. My financial institution has confirmed that payments have arrived as requested each month. I have noticed that it takes Continental approximately 6 days to process my payment. According to Continental, because they have not " processed '' the payment on or before the due date -- regardless of when they receive the payment, they consider the payments to be late and as a result, they are entitled to a late fee and can -- and do -- report my payments as being " late '' although the payment was received by Continental at the address as indicated on my monthly statements BEFORE the actual due date. 
I have never heard of a company considering a payment as being late when the payment was received in their offices BEFORE the due date because it takes them so long so process the order and do not feel I should be regularly penalized for internal payment processing issues at Continental. 
Continental also charges interest on late fees ... late fees that they refuse to refund. My balance due on this account is a result of late fees and not actual purchases.

Consumer complaint: This company said they would delete on numerous calls from numerous phone numbers but did n't, and they seem to be the type of company who does n't honor their own word since they did not take responsibility and delete as they said they would ( go figure ). Even with them not honoring their word, their are not reporting correctly. The balance for this account still shows {$310.00} dollars and as an active collection account on my credit profile. That was the balance when I made my settlement payment, and if we 're going to talk about accurate balances, it should show, in the least, a {$150.00} balance. With that said, it should reflect as a paid settlement with a XXXX balance. This is with XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I wrote a much longer complaint but my web page was somehow redirected to the previous page right before hitting the submit button. I blame it on my unsteady fingers, but I took the time to write another smaller complaint because this is not fair to me as a consumer.

Consumer complaint: XXXX Bank is reporting an account that does not belong to me on my credit report. I initially contacted the credit bureaus believing that it should be easy to clear up. Incredibly, XXXX did not correct the error, so I called XXXX and spoke to XXXX in Security. Naturally when they asked for my social security number and contact information, it did not match what they have for the account. When they provided the last XXXX digits of a phone number, it sounded like my parents phone number, and it appeared that the account belongs to my father. Certainly, that should have been tne end of my problem, but instead, XXXX left the account on my credit report. It is stunning to me that the credit bureaus and credit providers operated without any regard for accuracy or the people that they impact.
