Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
Diversified Consultants, Inc ( DCI ) tried to collect on already invalidated, declared fraudulent account with XXXX XXXX. I have never owned a XXXX Phone or device in my life. I do not own this account and filed all the appropriate paperwork with XXXX and DCI to dispute the incorrect association of my name with this company. Both comapnies have assured me that I am not associated with this fraudulent account but DCI still filed a negative amrk against my credit today, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. In violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and also in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, they began making harassing phone calls in XXXX of this year using an auto-dialer to my cell phone, which I finally had to block. I sent them a " validation letter '' and they never replied. 

I just sent another, certified mail this time. I have now filed a complaint against them with the Georgia Division of Consumer Affairs, the Better Business Bureau of Georgia ( against DCI ), and against XXXX XXXX with the FTC 's Bureau of Consumer Protection. 


This is a lot of hassle they are putting me through for {$2100.00} that I do n't owe. They assured me the account was not associated with me any longer after following all the stops. If they do not remove the mark, my next step is small claims court here in Georgia for : Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Defamation of Character I will seek punitive and statutory damages and an injunction against them illegally re-aging debt in our state.

Company: Blitt and Gaines, P.C.
State: IL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit

Complaint:
This is regarding old credit card debt with XXXX XXXX. It was initially sent to a law firm that I set up monthly payments with and had been faithfully making them for quite a while, and then they suddenly stopped. A month or two later, I receive an introduction letter from Blitt & Gaines our of XXXX, Illinois saying they were taking over the debt. I dont recall anything in the letter stating I needed to contact them or something bad would happen. I assumed they would contact me with what they wanted me to do because thats their job as debt collectorXXXX. This was months ago, possibly as far back as XX/XX/2018. I didnt hear anything else from them until my bank account was frozen yesterday, XX/XX/2018. When I called the law firm, someone there stated they only did it because they tried to garnish my wages but I didnt work there. She named a company Ive never even heard of, let alone worked at. At the time Blitt & Gaines reportedly tried to garnish my wages in XXXX, I had had the same job for over two years. I file taxes. I get direct deposit. How could they not find my actual job? I received no communication that the wage garnishment was unsuccessful and they needed job information from me. I have not moved. I have not changed my phone number. The only thing the woman kept telling me was that it was my fault that I didnt respond to the letter from XXXX. I feel like this frozen bank account could have been avoided and now I dont know how Im going to pay my bills the rest of the month. I dont really have family to ask for help so this is really terrifying. Furthermore, wage garnishment would not have been necessary because I would have wanted to set up a similar payment plan as to what I had before and assumed I would have again. But they did not contact me and took the most drastic action without even informing me ahead of time.

Company: PHH Mortgage Services Corporation
State: VA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
I have been working with PHH Mortgage for one year attempting to find a solution for me to keep my home. I have submitted several packages for assistance, one two occasions I was granted a trial modification with a reduced payment and was assured that providing payments were made during the trial period, a permanent modification would be granted. I called to check on the status of my modification request on XX/XX/XXXX, I was told that the documents submitted were not legible and that I would need to resubmit the documents. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter stating that a modification could not be granted because a modification was previously granted several years ago. 

I have been consistently misled, I was told on numerous occasions that if I could afford the mortgage that the mortgage company would find a solution. Back in XX/XX/XXXX, I was assured that my modification request was being reviewed for a modification. I have submitted documentation in a timely manner and have complied with every request. I am now employed and working again full-time and can afford the payments. I am not sure if the breakdown in communication or the conflicting information is a result of the merger between PHH and Owcen. 
What confuses me the most is that I was offered XXXX for a deed in lieu, if the mortgage company has XXXX to give it would be helpful to have that applied to the outstanding balance owed and for the loan to be modified or for a repayment plan to take place. I am extremely disappointed that I have been misled for almost a year. Had I known a modification was not an option, I would have sought alternative solutions months ago. 

XXXX XXXX has responded to each inquiry I have submitted but her responses have been to solely defend the mortgage servicer and not to provide resolution. I am willing to reach out to additional organizations and the media if necessary. I have all letters sent to me by PHH and telephone calls to show that I am providing factual information.

Complaint:
I entered a consumer credit transaction with the following companies : XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX credit and as a result they used my credit card ( as described in 15 USC 1602 ) and was extended credit in a consumer credit sale. They are claiming they originated the credit I extended to them in which constitutes fraud. Pursuant to Federal Law, they have committed fraud and several violations of the FDCPA and TILA.

I pulled my credit report and disputed items on my report to XXXX, XXXX AND TRANSUNION. They have not provided me with any original documents, and they have disregarded the law in saying they have verified the debt. Fair Reporting Act Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) states you are required by federal law to verify through physical verification of the original signed consumer contract. I asked for verifiable proof ( an original consumer contract with my signature on it on 2 occasions : XX/XX/2021 & XX/XX/2021. The failure to positively these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. They have taken advantage of me as a consumer and they should be held accountable for deceiving me and not validating the debt. They have not validated anything they have ruined my character and general reputation by reporting erroneous information on the consumer report and included a symbol on the contents of the envelope for the mail carrier or any person affiliated with the mail service or comes in contact with the envelope thats alleging I owe a debt. They act as if they are unaware of what I am requesting or that the law does not apply to them. 

In addition, per the Fair Credit Reporting Act the didnt notify me of the investigation results within 30 days. 

Thank you XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
In XXXX I was the subject of identity theft and a credit card was opened in my name with XXXX One/Saks Fifth Avenue . Several thousand dollars were charged to the account and I discovered the fraud when I checked my credit report. I filed a police report and communicated with Capital One/Saks Fifth Avenue and the three credit reporting agencies and the fraudulent account was deleted from my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX. I have now discovered that XXXX XXXX filed a derogatory report against me with XXXX in XXXX, almost a year after the fraudulent account was deleted. XXXX has explained to me that Capital One sold the account to Portfolio Recovery AFTER CAPITAL ONE KNEW the account was fraudulent and Portfolio Recovery should have known as well. This has now adversely affected my credit rating and I want the derogatory report removed. XXXX claims it can only do so if Capital One or XXXX XXXX takes action. A copy of the XXXX dispute resolution dated XX/XX/XXXX reflecting the deletion of the fraudulent account is uploaded.

Sub-issue: Problem making or receiving payments

Complaint:
Hi, my issue has been with the company DailyPay. The week of the XXXX through the XXXX of XXXX I worked but was not paid my total amount. The total amount that I was supposed to be paid was {$560.00}. XXXX, is the temporary agency that I work for and DailyPay is the company that distributes the pay into my account. With DailyPay, you can receive a partial payment before your scheduled payday and then the rest of your check later. My issue is that they told me that they sent me the {$390.00} in different lump sum payments but it's not reflected on my bank statement. They did send {$110.00} and {$61.00} the week I was supposed to be paid but not the rest. When I tried to explain to them that it never made it to my account they said it was XXXX 's fault and the run around began. I've never had a problem with DailyPay before and I just want them to pay me what I am owed.
