Complaint:
XX/XX/2018 I am unable to provide exact dates because I have been dealing with two seperate companies that are some how still tied to each other as one sold their company to the other but never, " Closed '' their loan contract so I am showing the, " Old & the New Joint Loan '' as if it were two loans. It is very confusing and not even these companies could figure out how to fix this mess! These companies have committed illegal activities. REPORTING BILLING ERRORS WITH ILLEGAL/FRAUDULENT ACTIVIIES BY CREDITORS : XXXX XXXX  XXXX & XXXX XXXX RE : Illegal/fraudulent Loan ( s ) Loan Accounts are grossly incorrect on both, Old and New Accounts. Disputed both XXXX XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX   Creditors as numerous accounts have been opened and closed that were not approved by US the Consumers. Plus, Old Loan information that should have been CLOSED is still OPEN and billing my bank account! The same thing is happening with the newest account which is Joint Account XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Companies are and have been violating our rights under the, Federal Trade Commission Lending Laws It is illegal to be billing us for accounts in which they all have different accounts numbers, with different amounts due, and an account that should have been closed when we entered into a, Joint Loan Contract but they did not close it and continued to report this information to the Credit Bureaus! Other accounts have been, Opened and Closed without our consent or Loan Agreements with both XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. These illegal and fraudulent, Open and Closed Accounts show dates that were not applied by my husband or myself, yet  these companies continue to report them as if they were legal! All three, major credit bureaus are showing many different accounts and the billing errors that are being reported do not match or make any sense! Trans Union, XXXX and XXXX all have numerous accounts that are listed as, Paid in Full, yet we never signed loan contacts for any of these accounts! It is quite illegal and fraudulent to conduct such business as there are many, many incorrect billing errors. Plus, the questions as to where our monthly payments are being applied to? After reaching out to both companies I finally decided it would be in our best interest to move forward in disputing these illegal loans with, Trans Union, XXXX and XXXX so they can investigate and confirm that these illegal loans are not valid and need to be removed/deleted from our credit reports. So, to date we have disputed these, Illegal Opened and Closed Accounts and on my Trans Union Credit Report, they investigated and confirmed this illegal information and they removed/deleted the account showing and on my husbands XXXX Credit Report they have removed and deleted all of the illegal accounts with these companies as they too investigated and confirmed these loans as fraudulent and grossly being reported as such. We will continue disputing with All three major credit bureaus, Trans Union, XXXX and XXXX  Credit Bureaus so that all illegal/fraudulent activities can be removed/deleted from our Credit Reports! Plus I had no other choice but to do a STOP PAYMENT with my Banking Institute as I had our payments set-up as, Automatic Payments withdrawn from our bank account on a monthly basis but we have no ideas where are payments are being applied to as the accounts are illegally reporting to the Credit Bureaus! It is a complete mess that not even these companies could give me any clear answers as to why this was going on in the first place. Also, being placed on both my husbands and my credit reports are many Inquires for loans that we know we did not do. I believe that on just my credit reports I have up to six or  more inquiries from both companies. My husband 's is just as bad as mine on the Inquire Section of our credit reports. One other very important issue that I would like to bring to the attention of Credit Financial Protection Bureau is that these companies do not explain clearly the terms of the loan agreement till after a person signs the loan contract. When I brought this to the attention the Loan Officer I  expressed to her that had I fully understood the terms of these loan agreements, I would have never signed the loan contract! I feel certain information is withheld till after the fact! In fact, I even made a comment that I felt so very bad for our Elders who most are only XXXX-Speaking and they have a hard time understanding the English Language and the Office Manager agreed with me and said that she too felt bad for, Our Elders! Plus, these loan officers seem to rush through the loan process as they make you feel that they have other people waiting so a person does not get that full one on one time that is truly needed in these types of situations. My experience was far from professional as both times I met with the, Office Manager and Loan Officer, they  both took telephone calls while working with me and they also tried to help other people apply for their loans at the same time! I was very dissatisfied with how these companies have trained their employees as it lacks professional respect!
