Company: STERLING JEWELERS, INC.
State: KS
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, in the mail from a XXXX XXXX XXXX. Out of XXXX , Kansas . 
In the letter they stated they had purchased my account from Kay Jewelers with the last transaction date of XX/XX/XXXX and owing {$1100.00}. They wanted me to pay them {$850.00} to settle the debt or it will be placed for legal action. I immediately called the number, but only got an answering machine. I did leave my name, number and a message stating that this was NOT my account. 
1. I have NEVER had a XXXX XXXX account, nor any other jewelry account. 
2. They mailed this letter to a former address that I haven't lived at since probably XXXX. ( However, I live in a small town, so the mail was forwarded to my present address ) 3. I have divorced since I lived at the former address, and did not use the last name I use now, that this letter was addressed me to at. 
4. I keep an eye on on my credit reports and this charge from XXXX XXXX has never shown up on any of my credit reports, If it would have, I certainly would have contested it, as it's not mine. 
5. I called XXXX XXXX Customer Service and they told me they did not find me in their system and to call XXXX who is over the charged off accounts to see if they have my name there. However, they were closed when I called. 
My conclusion is this seems like either a scam on XXXX. 's part, or somebody opened an account fraudulently under my name, or they have my identity mixed up with another person with the same name. 
Whatever it is, I am upset over this, and I will press charges if needed against whomever is behind this.

Company: American Financial Network Inc.
State: NC
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint:
I'm a prospective home owner that engaged American Financial Network ( " AFN '' ) for a mortgage. The first few weeks were smooth sailing until we approached closing - AFN charged me over {$6000.00} for an interest rate fee lock and this was not previously disclosed. I had a conversation with my loan officer and I asked what closing fees would be associated with the mortgage and they said a fixed flat rate ( which was under {$2000.00} ), and now that I'm XXXX  with the deal with a large due diligence amount, they decide to add a $ 6,000+ charge for an interest rate. I'm not a legal expert when it comes down to mortgages, but this just does not seem right. Further, my loan was supposed to close on XX/XX/2020. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and the loan still has not closed. Every few days I receive an update that the " loan will close tomorrow '' but it has not closed. I have been living with a friend since XX/XX/XXXX since I was relying on AFN to close the mortgage on time. Loan officer goes MIA for 7-12 hours at a time without responding. I've tried contacting their production manager and they do not respond either. Very unprofessional company as a whole.
