Consumer complaint: I attended XXXX XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. During this time, I was pressured into signing documents in which I did not have adequate time to review or discuss with a financial advisor. I was told to sign the papers or I would be kicked out of school. They stated that all my loans were through XXXX XXXX XXXX or through Federal Loan funding. Now in XX/XX/XXXX, I have received a phone call from a collection agency stating that I owe them money in the amount of {$2400.00} to a XXXX XXXX XXXX. My wife called and spoke to XXXX XXXX and they state the actual amount of the loan is {$24000.00}. I have never received paper work in regards to this private loan. I am currently working with XXXX and another company to get my federal and XXXX XXXX loans out of default, it came as quite a surprise that I am being told I owe an additional {$24000.00}. I did not receive a job upon graduation from XXXX XXXX, nor did they assist me in job seeking as advertised by their financial aid department and admissions departments. I am at a loss as to my next step with this school as they have ruined my credit and any hopes of owning a home, car or not having wages garnished.

Consumer complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Genesis loanI was forced to get the Genesis loan just so I could stay in the student dorms, and then halfway through the school year they made me pull more money out because they said there was n't enough to finish out the rest of the year, saying that if I did n't either get the loan or come up with the money I would n't be able to finish my entire XXXX of school, I was also forced to pay my loan while I was in school and they took it from my monthly allotment before they gave me my student loan check each month, there is almost no way to postpone payments without defaulting, they say you can lower your payment but there is no way to have a true forbearance on the loan and to top it all off, after I get out I find out the school has been sued for falsifying employment and strong arming for students into loans

Consumer complaint: Dear Madam or Sir, this is a complaint in regard to the XXXX companies providing credit reports/scores. 

www.annualcreditreport.comStatement says right under website headline : " The only source for your free credit reports. Authorized by Federal Law. " Complaint XXXX in regard to advertising on the website : Annual Credit Report is not the only source for a free credit report. Instead and like other companies, they provide the free credit report BUT charge the consumer additional money to see their credit score. There is no difference in regard to other companies providing this service. 
Complaint XXXX : Annual Credit Report claims to be authorized by Federal Law. There is no signed authorization by Federal Law that those XXXX companies can stand behind annualcreditreport.com as a monopoly. In addition, the foregoing and behavior is very much consumer unfriendly. 
Complaint XXXX : the credit report companies disclose different credit scores to consumers working with annualcreditreport.com than to lenders ( for example banks ), without notable or reasonable explanation to consumers. Usually the credit scores provides to lenders are lower than credit scores provided to consumers. Just to give you an example on how consumers feel in regard to the differences between consumer credit reports and credit reports disclosed to lenders ( feel free to check out the comments when scrolling down ) : XXXX the Best, XXXX XXXX XXXX not sure if the above short notes make any impact, but I think that I am not the only one who thinks that there is something MAJORLY wrong and needs adjustment on FEDERAL BASIS. Worth fighting for. 
Desired : - no credit score monopoly- absolutely NO credit score differences between credit scores information disclosed to and paid for by consumers, and credit scores disclosed to lenders.

Consumer complaint: I have been a bank of America customer since XX/XX/2005.I opened a checking, savings and a credit card account, my issue is with the credit card account 's APR percentage, it went from10.99 % to 16.99 %. I spoke to the account manager/ account specialist about lowering the APR I was told there was no promotion available for my account they could n't do anything for me. The reason for the APR increase was the bad economy, the economy has recovered yet Bank of America refuses to lower my APR. I feel wronged ... that 's not how you treat a loyal customer!!

Consumer complaint: My significant other and I moved out of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. I was told by XXXX in which I would receive a final list of charges if any. We had not received any notice until XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a balance owed on the account. I immediately called the company in reference to the matter. Not fully being aware of what the charges were for, I spoke with representative XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX was very nasty in the beginning of our phone call stating that the balance has already hit our credit and when we were going to pay. I resulted in a follow up call with the matter XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX XXXX to discuss payment options and possibly setting up a payment arrangement. XXXX XXXX was very aggressive on the phone call and over talked me every way possible. I have never endured such disrespect when handling a possible legal matter. XXXX XXXX refused to let me become aware of my options, and yelled for me to pay the balance in full. I will never deal with this company with any of my business matters. I do not trust the employee of this company. I spoke with supervisor XXXX and he alerted me the information that she gave was incorrect. I will be serving this company with a cease and desist letter stating that I do not want this company handling any business matters.

Consumer complaint: In XXXX XXXX I received a loan for {$2500.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX that i planned on paying back within 2 months. I did n't get paid by employer what I was supposed to ( won a judgement against employer in XXXX XXXX ) and was n't able to pay the loan off immediately. The loan was serviced by CashCall ( a subsidiary/affiliate/shady partner of XXXX ) and eventually was transferred to XXXX XXXX ( another shady affiliate ). I made monthly payments of {$290.00} for 12 months. This amounted to {$3500.00}. About this time I did some research wondering why XXXX different companies were involved in the loan. That 's when I discovered all the different complaints and lawsuits and legal issues with the XXXX companies. I also found out that recently XXXX XXXX XXXX website had been shut down and had US government agency labels on the site. I decided that obviously they are n't doing things legally so I stopped paying. My credit was n't good so I did n't care, I knew I just could n't keep paying that amount, I was raising a child at the same time. I cancelled my bank account. The harassment came almost daily. Phone calls everyday, emails, and letters. I eventually told them they had the wrong number and the calls stopped. Eventually it came down to an email every other month offering a settlement with an ever increasing outstanding balance. Now it is XXXX XXXX and i am trying to qualify for a mortgage and this is hurting my credit which is now much better than it used to be. 
The entire loan was null and void from the beginning. XXXX XXXX XXXX was issuing loans that were illegal in their state and in my state of Arizona.

Consumer complaint: Several months ago, Valentine and Kebartas, Inc. ( VKI ) began contacting me using my work cell phone number regarding the collection of a student loan debt that is not mine ( I have never carried a debt related to student fees or tuition and this simply can not be my debt ). Each time I was contacted ( at least XXXX times in the past 4 months ) I responded by indicating that, while I have the same first and last name of the individual they are seeking, I am not that person. We have different middle names, we live in different states, and we have different social security numbers ( why would I know that? see below ). In some cases their telephone representatives were rude and dismissive. In XXXX case, their telephone representative hung up on me. 

Despite my repeated attempts to dispute the claim and assert that I am not the debtor, VKI has continued to contact me by calling the main reception line at my workplace and by sending " orders of withholding from earning '' statements to my work address. These notices include the full name, address, social security number, and total amount currently due of the debtor they are seeking to collect from. 

At first I thought it was simply incompetence that led them to make repeated attempts to contact me via my work cell phone. When they began contacting our main reception line and sending XXXX Mail to my work address, I realized it is not incompetence. Through their repeated attempts to collect a debt from an individual who has made a good faith effort to inform them of their mistake, VKI has:XXXX. ) Demonstrated a clear and willful pattern of creditor harassmentXXXX. ) Negligently violated the privacy of the actual debtor by freely distributing that individual 's name, address, social security number, and " amount due '' XXXX. ) Negligently caused damage to my personal and professional reputation

Consumer complaint: I received a medical bill fromDesign Receivables Solutions Incorporated and Company, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX , CA. 
This is after two years of my date of service an emergency room. I had received other bills concerning my treatment on the XX/XX/2013 which have all been settled by my insurance. 
Some bills arrived in the post more than XXXX time until they where resolved by insurance. 

Another debt collector service called me in 2013 to negotiate payment for a bill. 

This particular company kept silent about the fact that I still owed for two years and then sent me a bill after I changed my address. I called them and said I have insurance and I have sent my details. 

They responded that my insurance can not cover my bill because two years have elapsed. I replied that if I send my insurance details in answer to a bill and a creditor does not respond, I will assume that the bill has been settled by insurance. 

The collection agency has to response to the question- Why wait you wait two years to send a demand letter for a debt or send a follow up that you did not receive my response to your demand letteror send follow up letters continually demanding my debt to youror send a letter or phone call stating that you received my insurance details and my insurance does not cover the debt for the service offered. 

I searched XXXX, XXXX and XXXX company online and found out that this is their usual practice

Consumer complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I bought a prepaid debit card through NetSpend from my local grocery store ( XXXX ). I purchased the card for {$4.00}, and put {$130.00} on the card to pay my car insurance from my computer. Once I got home I attempted to activate it. I put in the necessary information ( SSN, birthdate, full name, etc, ). Once I completed this process and put the inactive card number in, I received and error message and was instructed to call the company. I did not see anything strange with this as I have had my identity stolen before. I called and attempted to complete the process over the phone and was directed immediately after entering my number to a customer service agent ( which I use this term very loosely as you will soon realize ) and was first informed about a previous charge on my card from five years ago that resulted in a negative balance of {$XXXX}. I was then told that until I cleared this debt, I could not activate my card. My only other options were to of course let them take the funds " owed '', or to get a refund on my purchase and wait 20 days for it to come in the mail. In addition to that I would be charged a fee for them to do this. In retrospect I did not react well to this news. I became quite the person to deal with and I ended up hanging up the phone because I was so frustrated. After I had calmed down just a bit, I called them to try to find out about their policies and where it stated that they were allowed to do this. I still have not gotten the answer to that. I was then told by a representative, that I would need to submit my ID, SSN, and proof of residency. I have done this countless times from this past Friday until now, but they keep saying different things like I did not receive a reference number, my copies were incomplete. Today I have scanned the documents in versus taking a photo from my phone, so hopefully this annoyance will cease. As for them taking my money, I have researched and researched. From what I have gathered, they can not legally do this, especially since they made no attempts to collect said debt from XX/XX/XXXX. Their response is that they treat me like any bank would when there is a balanced owed. My response was that a bank would attempt to collect said debt, through email, snail mail, or phone call. It is even more frustrating since I have told them they may collect said debt, and they still refuse to activate my card. I have repeatedly told them that I would no longer be bothered with their company or their services once this has been done. Why can I not have access to my own funds? Why am I punished for a debt I have no knowledge of from XXXX years ago? Please let me know if I have missed some legality.

Consumer complaint: I got a call from XXXX at R M Jackson & Associates Pc about a debt that is or is not real and over 7 years old last week. I asked him not to call me during work hours, please call me after XXXX to ensure that i am not at work. He called the next day and I was not able to answer the phone, he left a message. Today he called the main line of my work and asked to be transferred to me. He left me a voicemail on my office line phone and when i called him back I told him I asked him not to call me during work hours and asked how he got my number at work to my desk not my cell phone. His response was that it was his job to know where I was and his job to track me down. So he tracked me down and called my land line work number. He also told me when I asked what this would do to my credit report if I paid it off that he was not reporting this to any credit report. All of this i find to be troubling over a debt that is at least 7 years old and he will not verify to me other than it is for a vet office for a dog named puddles ( a dog that died well over 7 years ago ). How he has the info he does on me is worrying to me and I am not okay with him calling my office to talk to me and asked him not to contact me during business hours.

Consumer complaint: I made a dispute with a particular account on my Experian credit report. The creditor investigated the dispute and it was resolved. I no longer dispute the remark. However, after the investigation, the creditor added a remark " Account disputed by consumer ''. I asked Experian to remove this as I released the dispute, and no longer disputed anything. They refused to remove it and advised that they have to get the creditor 's approval before removing it. The creditor says it can only be removed by the credit bureaus. This has been detrimental to my home loan application.
