Consumer complaint: Someone used my personal information and identity to obtain medical and/or other services. I did not create this debt. I am a victim of identity/medical theft. I have reported this to the police and have tried several times to have them correct their records. They continuously send me someone else 's personal information, knowingly that this is a fraudulent account, which is violating the HIPPA Act PIH. The information is not mine nor did I ever authorize it. The signature does n't even look like mine. It is an obvious impersonation of my identity. I have sent them certified letters, ID theft police report and disputes to the collection agency and credit bureaus. They continue to report this fraudulent account and violate my FDCPA, FCRA and Rosenthal Act. This has given me great distress and the fraudulent reporting is damaging my good credit. 
Attached are letters I have sent and correspondence that support my complaint and show I am a victim of ID theft, this is not my account.

Consumer complaint: I have completed a bankruptcy protection in XXXX 2015 and I have paperwork showing that the bankruptcy was approved. I have been getting calls from some company called " Focus Receivables Management ''. I have asked to speak to someone about it but I just get sent to a voicemail for XXXX. No one will tell the what the account is for just mumbling about an attempt to collect a debt. I keep telling them that I have completed a bankruptcy and I still keep getting called to tell me to call them back and I keep getting a voicemail. I am so done with this, I am tired of dealing with ignorant people who do n't know anything about the debt and want me to pay. Not so, I 'm not old and senile to pay anyone who says I owe them something. They need to get band from doing busy in America, this is ridiculous calling me at night and in the morning hours. I do n't owe anyone anything, everything was cleared in bankruptcy. I know if they 're calling me they 're calling other people as well and doing the same thing.

Consumer complaint: I am a widow, unemployed and XXXX. My husband died 4 years ago and left me a mobile home where I am presently residing. Our mortgage company is CITI MORTGAGE. 
We are paying this company for over 20 years and still have a balance of {$62000.00} dollars, with interest of 7.76 %. 
Two months after his death, I called CITI if my husband 's loan is being paid off thru insurance. They said he got no insurance and that the wife is responsible for paying his loan. They told me to send his Death Certificate and some other papers so they can change his name and put my name on it. I refused. 
Right now I 'm having a hard time to support my XXXX adopted children, XXXX in college. Please help me solved my problem with this gigantic company where I have no voice and money to fight them. 
I thought Mobile Home is cheaper than a real house, but since I married my husband, he got a balance of {$79000.00}. I have no idea why this house is very expensive. 
Second concerns of mine is SEARS CREDIT CARD. 
Even though I am so poor, I always pay my bills on time. I do have a good credit. Last week I happened to read the article regarding your willingness to help us and believe me or not, the article lifted my spirit, hoping that maybe you are answer to my prayers. 
Sears charged me 25.24 % on interest and plus account care program which I pay {$65.00} monthly.Before I charged my purchases to them, I told them to cancel account care and they told me, they do n't use it anymore so I thought that there will be no charges. 
Account care is a ripped off, they said they will pay my bills if I become unemployed and disabled. I have XXXX. Anything you can help me is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

Please help.

Consumer complaint: I pay my account in full every month and I am never late. However, I received a letter in XXXX 2015 that stated I had an unpaid balance. Unknown to me, I was set up on paperless billing and did not realize I had a balance due. Once I received the letter, I reached out to Sears and worked to resolve the problem and also paid the balance in full including late charges. 

The issue I am currently experiencing is that my credit report was dinged by a 30 day past due posting. My credit score took a significant drop. I reached out to Sears Cardmember Services via mail to request they contact the XXXX major credit reporting agencies to have this posting removed. They have refused. I feel this is the least they can due to their failure of disclosure when they changed the billing terms on my account.

Consumer complaint: I submitted a debt collection harrassment complaint against Home Depot - Citi. Case number : XXXX. They responded with a demand notice for payment. I went to pay that debt today the due date, even though XXXX days late. When I entered their site, I had to go to a credit center, then select the card I wanted to pay. It was very difficult to figure out what sign in to enter. I was registering for a Home Depot on line account when I realized it was no the correct place. In small print at the bottom of the form was - are you trying to pay a credit card, click here ... It was very deceptive and an attempt to gather my information for unecessary reasons. When I finally got into my account, I clicked on Make a Payment. The form took me to an update contact form. It required my home phone number, which is a cell, and I did not want to give it. I provided a work number instead. I removed my cell. On Save, it said, sorry we are unable to process this. I did this XXXX times, and it would not let me make a payment. I finally clicked on another menu item - Account Profile. In this form, it let me edit my information, and it did not require a phone number. They had also put my cell number in my home number field, which I did not do. I removed both, neither were required to save the form. After saving it, I clicked on Make a Payment, and it finally let me make a payment. The required phone number on the first request was deceptive, abusive, and their form did not let me make a payment. This kind of service is abusive, confusing, deceptive, unrealistic to consumers. Citi should be fined and forced to stop using these tactics they can not support customers. They harrassed me with XXXX calls a day every hour and then their stupid system would not let me make a payment. This kind of treatment HURTS the Home Depot brand. I 'm pretty sure this tactic was a abusive response to my creating a complaint earlier, which is AGAINST THE LAW to take action or treat me different on my account just because I submitted a complaint. They can not treat me any different based on race, etc. or if a complaint is issued against them. This is abusive and against the law and Citi should be held responsible for this unlawful and abusive tactic, just as they should be held responsible for the abusive and repeated calls.

Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2014 I received a letter stating to settle my account with Citibank so I contacted them on XXXX XXXX, 2014 to settle my account for the amount in the settlement. The agent I talked with talked in circles and offered me a deal to pay {$88.00} short and she would lower my payment. I wanted to just get from under this debt, since my alimony money was n't being paid to help me out financially. They took the {$4000.00} leaving me to be responsible for the rest of the debt. I contacted Citibank on XXXX XXXX, 2014 and explained what happened to see if I could pay the additional {$88.00} to clear this debt and they said no because I declined to settle the debt. I contacted Citibank again on XXXX XXXX, 2014 and talked to the risk department and was told again they could not honor this settlement and now I 'm being sent letters stating I owe over {$5000.00} again!

Consumer complaint: When I made a payment on my Home Depot account serviced by Citi, they required me to agree and accept that my computer was able to encrypt the payment information? I have no idea what this means except that they are possibly hoping that I take on the responsibility that My computer is safe enough to make a payment. I have no idea why this bank would require me to be responsible for the security of my payment - that is their responsibility to make their site safe to make the payment. How would I even know what bit encryption my computer is? This is incredibly unreasonable and confusing, and they refused to take my payment without my agreement. How do companies get away with this? Trying to pass responsibility for their own site safety on to me where I have no idea about any kind of encryption process on my computer? I am so upset by Citi unreasonable demands on consumers at this point I am making sure our Home Depot knows about this and this is really hurting their brand to have this bank called Citi be so abusive to their customers.

Consumer complaint: Originally, I had good credit that afforded me, my husband and son the opportunity to become first-time homeowners in XXXX. Prior to divorcing my husband in XXXX XXXX, I refinanced XXXX XXXX to buy him out of the property and to get his name off of the deed. While in an adjustable arm, I began to experience financial hardship and refinanced again XXXX XXXX and ended up putting all of my equity in my home making bi-monthly payments to bring my loan down from {$230000.00} to {$210.00}, XXXX. Eventually I was assisted by an attorney ( XXXX XXXX ) to apply for a modification which took my payments from {$1600.00} to {$1200.00}. After waiting 33 months to be modified by BOA ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) I received a savings of {$100.00} instead of the original savings of {$350.00} per month. I believe at some point during another review of required documents submitted again XXXX XXXX, my income as a XXXX was inflated and calculated incorrectly. Not understanding how this could happen after BOA foreclosed on my property while still in a work-out process, the foreclosure was rescinded upon the banks error as long as I accepted and their in-house modification with new monthly payments of {$1500.00}. From XXXX, it was difficult to keep up with payments, so I was encouraged to put my home up for Short Sale which was approved by the bank XXXX XXXX. After several weeks of no activity, my realtor was asked by a new negotiator to submit and upload additional docs to XXXX. In doing so, my realtor obtained documents from BOA that I was approved for a Short Sale process again on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and we had 14 days to submit any requested documents. Not informed by my realtor of a foreclosure date and following professional advice not to make payments during the process, my home went into foreclosure the very next day on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I am made aware of the foreclosure by the office of XXXX XXXX. XXXX in a letter dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX and told I need to vacate my property. With no where to go and not sure of my options, I was pleased when my realtor was asked if I wanted to keep my property. I responded yes and have been back-and-forth contacting Bank of America while sending correspondence to a representative of XXXX XXXX and the Law Office of XXXX XXXX. XXXX to obtain a fore-closure rescission. After seeking legal advice Fri. XXXX & XXXX, I discovered that I should have been approved years ago for a HAMP because I qualified based on federal guidelines. Yesterday, evening XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I received a random phone call from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and the intake representative advised me to file a complaint through this website because I appear to be a victim of unfair practices and deserve a proper modification.

Consumer complaint: Several years ago my wife a XXXX lost her job, which caused severe financial difficulties for the family. With her job loss, I had to take over all financial responsibilities as a XXXX XXXX. With her job loss I was unable to continue payments with Bank Of America, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX, and still make the mortgage payment on our house. At the time of her job loss we had excellent credit history. I contacted all the credit cards asking them to work with us until my wife found a new job, and that I would continue to make payments, although they were below the minimum amount. None of these creditors were willing to work with us, and at that time I had to make the decision whether to keep our home or pay the credit card companies. Since that time all have taken us to court, bullied us, and even went so far to contact my employer to have my wages deducted form my pay. At this time they have destroyed our credit history, and at this time no one is willing to work with us for loans. I explained to each creditor what happened, and was willing to work with them until my wife became employed again. Not XXXX was willing to take the time to even talk with me. As of now all credit card companies hired attorneys, and we have paid thousands of dollars to them. Recently, as the balances became close to settlement they stopped taking money each month saying that their law firm was done, but another would be contacting us, this is with XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. The Bank of America has continued, using tactics that I believe is hostile. Much of the amount was paid prior to this, but their interest and payments still baffle me. I am asking for intervention, as I believe their advertising to their customers was deceptive, they would not work with their customers in financial trouble, and made no attempt to contact us prior to starting legal action with a law firm. I am asking that they help us rebuild our credit rating and history as they have destroyed it not willing to work with me when I spoke to them regarding our financial difficulties when my wife lost her job. The attorneys now representing Bank of America are : XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Consumer complaint: found a debt for account XXXX on my credit report. I have never had an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX who they claim to represent. It could potentially be a family member with the same name, but it is not mine. I use XXXX for cell service, not XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Company response: Company believes complaint caused principally by actions of third party outside the control or direction of the company
Consumer complaint: I had XXXX and the doctor was not sure at first how long I 'd been out of work. So I thought that I should let the bank know the situation as far as IF I may get a month behind in my mortgage. Since 2003 I have never been late or missed a mortgage payment and at that time was current. The representative suggest that I consider a modification and that I should wait and be late a month to start this process. I said NO I do n't want to be late. So now we start the process which took from XXXX to XXXX. They took {$100.00} off my mortgage. Put me on trial to see if I could make the lower payments which I did. Of course the lower payment I was paying was not what my new mortgage was to be. In the process they got the {$100.00} dollars back ( because of higher taxes and escrow short ) and my mortgage is more than it was at first. But the mean thing is that they put my mortgage account it a delinquent status and put it on my credit report. I think this is mean and unfair. I have written letters to all three credit report companies and they say it can be removed but I 'd need a letter from the bank. I have written several letters XXXX one to the CEO ) and made several in-person attempts and was also told it could be taken off. None\of this has worked and I rec 'd a letter from the bank telling me to stop writing because my compliant was frivolous and a waste of time and they were not going to remove it. It has really put my credit report in a nasty spot. I 'm not able to do anything with the being the first thing you see on my credit report. I do hope you can help get me some help with this. I was only trying to do the right thing and this is what I got.

Consumer complaint: I had a few accounts with SunTrust Bank. On or around XXXX XXXX, 2015, I was notified that they will be closing my accounts, and that I should be receiving a check for the balance within 30 days. They put my accounts in a no debit status and I had no access to my funds. I called them repeatedly, and they told me the fraud department was the one handling it, but that they do n't speak with the public. Fast forward 30 days later, and still no check is received. When I call, they tell me that it 's still under review, and the account is still not closed. In the most recent conversation I had with one of their customer care supervisors, XXXX, she told me that the fraud department told her they do n't have a turn around time and that I could have access to my funds if I went into a branch and spoke to a branch manager. I was told this while they knew that the nearest branch to me was 3 hours away. I called the branch manager this morning and she said that there is no way for me to access the funds until the fraud department sends a check. She also said that they did not start reviewing the case until XXXX XXXX, about 2-3 weeks after they had frozen my account. This is ridiculous and this bank should not be able to legally do hold my money for as long as they have. It 's like one big ponzi scheme.
