Consumer complaint: I have had a HELOC product for the past 10 years for a rental property. The loan was originated by XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. Over the course of the loan, the servicing has been performed by XXXX, XXXX and now SLS. I have paid the loan in a timely fashion for the past 10 years. I have made the payments on-time and have never missed a payment, nor had a delinquent payment over the course of the loan. The loan 's servicing was recently sold to SLS over the past 9 months. Unbeknownst to my husband and me, the loan matured XX/XX/XXXX. I was never notified of the pending maturity, nor received a pay-off statement in the mail. 
I contacted SLS XX/XX/XXXX to make my monthly payment, as I was unable to sign-in online. I was told from the servicing representative that the entire loan balance had matured. I stated to the representative that I had never received any communication from them. The servicing representative indicated that the documentation was forwarded to an address that I no longer maintained, and had not maintained for over 30 months. The previous servicing agent ( XXXX ) had the correct mailing information on file, as I previously received my bill on a monthly basis with no issue. I was told that when the servicing transferred that I should on my accord contact the servicer and provide them with a copy of my driver 's license and address. As this information was not communicated to us, how would we know? 
As I did further research, my credit report now reflects that I have been past due since XX/XX/XXXX. I am unclear as to why they are showing the XX/XX/XXXX payment as past due. As I previously indicated, I have NEVER had a past due payment on the loan for over a period of ten years. I am willing to pay the HELOC balance in full ( $ XXXX ) ; however, I would like the lender to correct the false, negative information that is being reported to the main XXXX credit bureaus. Additionally, both the lender ( XXXX ) and their vendor ( SLS ) need to ensure that correct information is maintained and properly integrated when servicing rights are transferred and/or sold. Proper due diligence regarding vendors may ensure that this process does not negatively impact the consumer. If we had been properly notified, as required, we would have had a better opportunity to make the necessary arrangements to complete the pay-off prior to maturity ; however, we never received any communication. 
I have asked the servicer for a copy of the pay-off statement, so I can forward them the funds. I am not in-receipt of the pay-off statement and am unclear where/how much funds that I need to forward. Daily I receive calls from their debt collectors demanding full payment. I ask them to check their servicing notes within the customer 's file. I have indicated than I am willing and able to pay, but I just need a pay-off statement.

Consumer complaint: In previous correspondence and all replies from Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, the generated robo letter states, " Wells Fargo is unable to establish contact with me ''. With all correspondence sent and owing my home for over 10 years and not changing my phone number, email, etc. The information has remained the same, additionally I attempted to establish contact with my new point of contact ( XXXX XXXX ). After visiting the Wells Fargo branch on XXXX XXXX, located in XXXX and chatting with representative XXXX XXXX. I attempted two phone calls direct to ( XXXX ) XXXX at XXXX and XXXX, both went directly to voicemail, without a return phone call and or email, etc. I have come to the conclusion that Wells Fargo Home Mortgage does not want to solve any issue that I may have and or resolve any confusion on my accounts. What XXXX XXXX did do today, was listen to concerns intently and assured me that he would do everything in his power and control to make certain that I have a pleasurable experience moving forward. Since first contacting Wells Fargo Home Mortgage and numerous points of contacts it has been my hope to obtain some sort of resolution as to how my payments were applied. Not once did Wells Fargo Home Mortgage request any receipts, bills, proof, yet they continue to send my information to collection and foreclosure bureaus. It is disturbing that a conglomerate of this magnitude operates on such a low level. Attached are the payment history of what I have deposited on a daily basis. Store # XXXX {$760.00}. Store # XXXX {$760.00}. Store # XXXX {$760.00}. Store # XXXX {$760.00}. XXXX # XXXX {$810.00}. Store # XXXX {$810.00}. Store # XXXX {$810.00}. XXXX # XXXX {$800.00}. Store # XXXX {$840.00}. Store # XXXX {$770.00}. XXXX # XXXX {$50.00}. Store # XXXX {$1300.00}. XXXX # XXXX $ XXXX funds of {$540.00} for XXXX {$840.00}. Store # XXXX $ XXXX/Unapplied funds of XXXX for XX/XX/XXXX/Total {$1600.00}. All totaling {$11000.00}. The following information is readily available in all records of the banks, how Wells Fargo Home Mortgage chose to apply these deposits is of question. There have been several unauthorized escrow analysis without my knowledge or consent, yet I have not received a definitive answer to my concerns, just robo replies. To suggest that " We are unable to establish contact '', especially when I make the opportunity to call XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX and contact Wells Fargo Ceo 's directly. It is my hope that anyone from Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, will address my repeated concerns.

Consumer complaint: I went to annualcreditreport.com and got my report. Only XXXX provided a report and score. I then contacted XXXX and reached them quickly. They noticed an account that belonged to my deceased father on my account that prevented them from giving me a report. 
They quickly moved to remove that account and it is in process to be fixed. 
On the other hand, any attempts to get a report or contact Experian has been futile. 
Every time I either try to sign up online for a report or start a dispute, I am kicked out of their system/webpage and any attempt to reach a person to help me has gone to dead end menus on their system. I know there is some reason why my Experian score and report can not be obtaned, but there is no way I can get through to them online or by phone. 
Please help as Experian is impossible to reach and there system is not letting me get anywhere. 
Thank you very much for your help, XXXX XXXX Concerned Citizen Consumer.

Consumer complaint: We filed paperwork with U.S. Bank for a Deed in Leiu/ Short Sale in XXXX 2015. The house was put on the Market in XXXX 2015 as my husband got a new job out of the area. 
We submitted all requested paperwork multiple times as apparently paperwork can become outdated month to month. We were assigned a relationship manager by the bank and were hopeful that this would be someone who would help guide us through the process. This is the first time we have ever had to go through this process as we have never had to sell a home in a market that dropped so quickly, leaving us owing more than the house was worth when we needed to sell our home. The bank continually asked for a valid purchase agreement and a HUD-1 Statement. These are things we did not have as we did not have any offers on our house. These are also things they would not need if they were listening to the fact that we were asking for a Deed in Leiu. We have since gotten an offer on the house in XXXX 2015 and have submitted the Purchase agreement and the HUD-1 Settlement statement. This paperwork has been sitting with the " Gatekeeping Department '' with no word on when it will be moved the next stage. We have been told the paperwork was with the processor for review, That it would be forwarded to Underwriting for their review and decision and now is with the " Gatekeeping Department '' it seems like they just move the paperwork from place to place to prolong the process and that neither we or our attorney can get a straight answer as to the status. We are not sure if this is the normal but, it seems as though US bank is doing what they can to stall the process. We are turning to you for help in resolving this issue.

Consumer complaint: These accounts need to be deleted because they are not mine and they have not been validated. I have disputed these accounts with Transunion numerous times. The response I get back is that the information has been 'verified '. I contacted each one of these collection agencies and I never received a response from the collection agency to 'Validate ' the account. With that being said I am sure that Transunion did not get a verification from the collection agencies pertaining to the collection agencies on my credit report that do not belong to me. XXXX is not a way to verify an account. I requested there '' method of verification '' meaning who did the physically talk to at the collection agency. I want to know what paperwork Transunion have showing that this account was validated and verified. The person they spoke with, what department, what day and time, and the paperwork they have showing ownership of the collection account.

Consumer complaint: I applied for an auto loan online with XXXX, a Division of SunTrust Bank, via their advertisement on XXXX. They gave me the option to have my personal information forwarded to another bank in the event I was n't approved for their loan ; I denied the option. They did n't approve me for the loan, and made a " hard inquiry '' on my credit report which caused my credit score to go down. I knew my credit score before filling out the application. Why did n't they simply tell me the required credit score so that I could avoid the " hard inquiry ''? I suspect that they want people ( that they are going to deny ) to fill out the application so that they can earn a fee by forwarding their personal information to other banks.

Consumer complaint: I use XXXX to assist me with the mess that is my credit report. There are things listed on my credit report that I do not have any knowledge of. I have asked that these items be removed. Transunion was asked to investigate and remove all credit report lines, specifically this credit report line : Agency : XXXX XXXX Report Date Removed : XX/XX/XXXX Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Owed : {$2700.00} Bureau : Transunion What happened next is baffling. The same day that it was removed, IT WAS ADDED BACK, as a completely different collection. It now looks like : Agency : XXXX XXXX Report Date Removed : XX/XX/XXXX Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Amount Owed : {$2700.00} Bureau : Transunion The Consumer Protection Bureau should be concerned that this kind of behavior is being exhibited not only by the credit bureau but by this Collection Agency. The opened date now shows XX/XX/XXXX. The original open date was nearly 6 years ago. This item should not even be on here, as I do not have any knowledge of this debt. They have no proof of validation and when requested they could not provide ME with that information. Simply sending me a bill does NOT validate a debt. They can not provide physical evidence that the debt is warranted. 
Transunion made a very big mistake in reporting this debt as they did as a different creditor name and under a different collection agency, the exact same day it was removed as not being valid. Shameful. Can you imagine being XXXX XXXX and having XXXX XXXX transfer this debt to them and they knew that it could n't be validated because I started disputes pertaining to the debt in XX/XX/XXXX? That 's criminal.

Consumer complaint: Original complaint filed XXXX/XXXX/XXXX - Case Number XXXX. Response from CFPB received XXXX/XXXX/XXXX with the Response : " FBCS has removed all this third parties information. There will be no more calls or letters to the individual. '' FBCS lied to the CFPB. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I was alerted that FBCS placed a bad debt notice on my wife 's credit report despite the fact she is not the person who owes the debt. Her name is not the same, she has never been a XXXX XXXX customer. She has lived at the same address as me since XX/XX/XXXX, and XXXX XXXX has no service contract in our area, so neither of us could possibly owe XXXX any money. 
XXXX has been contacted to dispute the debt and the bogus name that FBCS falsely reported as being an alias. This company is lying every way it can to extort a payment we do not owe. Seriously, our credit report indicates every account we hold is paid in full every month and has been for years, covering tens of thousands of dollars. This is an extortion attempt over {$290.00}. This is a stupidly small amount and if either of us owed it, we 'd pay it outright ... BUT WE DO N'T AND WE WO N'T PAY IT. 
Not only does FBCS need to back away from their demand, they also need to clear the fraudulent alias they filed with Experian from my wife 's credit report. There is no " XXXX XXXX '' in this household, never has been, is not an alias my wife has ever used and FBCS 's claim otherwise is a lie. The company is doing damage to my wife 's actual good name and good standing, which is criminal.

Consumer complaint: XXXX XXXX is claiming {$130.00} owed for auto insurance on a policy that was cancelled and paid, with a XXXX balance. XXXX XXXX was dropped by me due to my finding a more suitable insurance carrier. I personally cancelled the homeowners and bundled auto insurance. XXXX XXXX charged me {$1200.00} for home owners insurance and XXXX monthly for automobile. When I switched insurance carriers, my premium was now {$510.00} for homeowners and {$60.00} monthly for automobile. Significantly lowering my bills. Which by the way, I repeatedly requested XXXX XXXX contact me directly and explain why my premium was so high. XXXX XXXX failed to contact me for over 4 months, thus resulting in me seeking a more suitable insurance carrier. Additionally my escrow was significantly lowered as a result. I can prove and have sent in my payment history to XXXX XXXX, yet in retaliation of being cancelled, XXXX XXXX sends this {$130.00} to collections in an attempt to ruin my credit.

Consumer complaint: Last year, I filled out a card application for a US Airways Credit card. BUT I never submitted it. I gather that it was left at the seat and some airline employee submitted it for me. When I received the card I immediately canceled it. BUT a hard credit inquiry was made by Barclays Bank in XXXX Delaware which stays on my Credit report.

Consumer complaint: Our HELOC loan was sold by XXXX to XXXX ( XXXX ) and then to SLS. We have made consistent payments with additional " principal '' and submitted on time to the servicing companies. After noticing not much reduction in the balance, we questioned XXXX ( contact no longer available ) on several occasions and was given the " run-around '' or not responded to. Once XXXX sold the loan to SLS, we advise them of the issue and asked them to provide us : A ) Actual amount borrowed on HELOC. B ) Total amount of additional principal payments made. And, C ) Total amount of additional payments applied to loan.

Consumer complaint: Bank of America is misreporting on my credit report a credit card that has been charged off. The account was charged-off back in 2012, however Bank of America continues to report the account as an account as open but also with a past due balance, which is reflecting a missed the payment for every month since the charge-off date. Charge-off accounts can not be legally reported as having been past due every month after they 've been charged-off, they are supposed to show that the balance has been charged-off. Instead for the last 5 years, every month, they 've reported a new late payment on my credit report, so this account shows I have over XXXX late payments after it was charged off ( Please see attached excerpt of credit report ). This is a blatant violation of the FCRA.

I was unemployed for almost 2 years and tried to get loan modification and did n't hear from them and when I did I was always missing documents even though I did send them.

Consumer complaint: I am asking the CFPB to review the chain of responses that Receivables Management has given concerning this issue and review my complaint of their violation of the FDCPA. They have continued to violate the FCRA and FDCPA. Please review my attachment and then audit and investigate the operational process of this company as they have refused to adhere to the FDCPA laws as they continue to attempt to collect a debt i do not owe after FDCPA violations. 

In the confirmation letter stating they had received my dispute and that they were placing the account in dispute status while the wait on information from the supposed original creditor. Now this agency despite claiming to put the account in a dispute status continued to update my credit file without providing any validation of debt ( Violation of both FCRA and FDCPA ). Secondly at the bottom of their Confirmation Letter to me they had the statement " This is an Attempt to collect a debt '' ( a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA ), Once an account is in dispute a collection agency is to cease collection activities. Please review attachment carefully. By law, this agency is to delete this account from my credit file immediately. If not deleted they are liable to all penalties of FDCPA violations and legal actions from myself and the CFPB.

Consumer complaint: I received a subpoena from a collection agency threatening to sue me on a time barred debt from 2004.This company has tried several times to garnish my wages but have been unsuccessful due to I only work 1-2 days a week and now they are taking me to court and asking for record of employment, checking/saving accounts, deed to property, titles to vehicles and copies of tax returns for the past 3 years which I do n't understand the need for because I thought it is against the law to try and sue or threaten to sue someone on a time barred debt.
