Complaint:
Ad Astra Recovery Services Inc. has consistently falsely reported inaccurate information to the Credit Bureaus about amounts owed to them. They stated that I owed them {$4100.00} which is incorrect, I do not owe them anything. I explained to them that I was currently in a lawsuit with XXXX XXXX XXXX for them violating my rights and withdrawing funds out of my Checking account without my authorization. 
Ad Astra Recovery Services Inc. told me that as long as I pay them {$2400.00}, they would immediately remove the inquiry by reporting to the credit bureaus immediately after payment was received. They coerce me into paying them {$2400.00} on the same day. I called them back two days later and they told me they will wait to update the information. After one week I called them again and they told me that I owed still owe them money and this is a collection to collect a debt.

Ad Astra Recovery Services Inc. lied to me and took my money out of my account. See attached letter from them. They are refusing to update the correct information to the credit bureaus.

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: PA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
I rented a vehicle from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2020 to XX/XX/2020 for a total of {$370.00}. By the morning of XXXX/XXXX/2020, XXXX had charged me {$870.00} ( including the agreed upon {$370.00} ). I immediately notified my bank that these extra charges were not authorized by me, and that my account needed to be blocked from any other charges being made. They immediately froze my debit card from being charged any further. Next, I called my auto insurance company, XXXX XXXX XXXX, to have them help me dispute the charges that XXXX was claiming against my bank account. XXXX failed to honor their obligation to our auto insurance agreement. I then contacted Citizens Bank Customer Service phone number ( XXXX ), and explained to them in further detail what transpired with XXXX XXXX. The Citizens Bank associate told me that they could dispute the overcharges by XXXX XXXX, and that XXXX XXXX XXXX failed to provide good of services. I was advised that I could dispute all charges on my bank account made by XXXX XXXX XXXX, which totaled {$1100.00}. The total of {$1600.00} is being disputed on my bank account against XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX simultaneously. Multiple Citizens Bank associates had told me that the total of {$1600.00} in disputed charges would be provisionally credited to my account multiple times. I have only received a credit for {$200.00} out of the {$1600.00}. After weeks of calling to gain insight on the current status of my dispute, I was repeatedly told someone would call me back ( never received a call back as they had said I would ). Later, an associate of the claims department and the bank manager at my local branch assured me that I would receive the remaining {$1400.00} into my bank account by XXXX/XXXX/2020. I still have not received anything except for the {$200.00} credit on XXXX/XXXX/2020. I have spent the last 45 days trying to recuperate the overcharge from XXXX XXXX and failure to meet services by XXXX XXXX XXXX. When I attempted to visit the Citizens Bank Branch at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX to resolve these disputes, I was refused service and called a XXXX ( I'm of XXXX decent ). On XXXX/XXXX/2020, XXXX XXXX from the Office of the Chairman at Citizens Bank, sent me a letter in acknowledgement of the racist behavior I experienced at the behest of a Citizens bank associate. As I mentioned, it has been 45 days of being told I will be contacted, repeated requests for me to submit the same documentation, and empty promises of credits to my bank account being restored. At this point I do not feel as though they have honored my rights as a consumer of a financial institution and see no resolution in sight.

State: FL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I was forced to declare Chapter XXXX due to some extreme circumstances in my personal life. At the time, I had a XXXX card with a balance of {$20000.00} that was included in the bankruptcy. In XX/XX/XXXX, I had the Chapter XXXX bankruptcy dismissed. 

I contacted all the credit card companies I owed money to and negotiated a settlement amount with them directly. XXXX was the only creditor still showing my bankruptcy as " active '' for 8 months after the dismissal. I took me the next 8 months and many phone calls to finally resolve that. Finally in XX/XX/XXXX I was told by XXXX to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to arrange a settlement amount. 

I did this and on XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from XXXX with the agreed upon settlement amount that we had discussed over the phone. I paid that amount, {$6100.00}, to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and have a receipt from them for that payment. 

XXXX is still showing on my XXXX  credit report that I owe {$20000.00}. The payment has NEVER been accurately reflected on my XXXX  report. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted an online dispute to XXXX about this matter. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter in response from XXXX stating that the XXXX information was " Verified as accurate ''. 

I had seen an increase in my Experian credit score when the amount was paid to XXXX and at that time Experian was reporting that it was Paid/Charge Off with a XXXX balance. Within the past couple of weeks, I got an alert from Experian that XXXX had reported negative information to them and now that XXXX account is showing up as " Charged Off '' with a balance of {$20000.00} on my Experian credit report. My Experian credit score plummeted over 50 points because of this. 

This erroneous reporting of information has negatively affected my creditworthiness. 

I met with a mortgage lender back in XX/XX/XXXX and was planning to purchase a home in XX/XX/XXXX. This false reporting is causing great damage to me. I no longer qualify for a loan because of this. I will be unable to buy a home/obtain a mortgage because of this. I am unable to qualify for ANY credit because of this. I am requesting that this XXXX account be COMPLETELY removed from my report with ALL credit reporting agencies. 

If I am unable to have this request met by XXXX, I have been advised to seek out the help of an attorney that specializes in such matters and pursue damages. I am not a litigious person and would prefer not to do that if I can just get this resolved and get this off my credit once and for all. 

I am providing proof that this amount was paid to XXXX as per XXXX 's instructions.
