Company: Arena Investors, LP
State: IL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Telecommunications debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
XXXX is calling the disputed amount ( {$390.00} ) an early termination fee. This is surprising to me because I have been a customer for 19 years straight. XXXX has automatically renewed my contract 9 times in a row. The early termination fee should have expired with the first contract. 

The FTC has ruled against XXXX over the matter of junk fees and surprise fees and ordered XXXX to refund these fees. Please read the FTC ruling at the links below. According to the ruling, I do not owe XXXX anything. XXXX has hired a debt collector SRA Associates to collect the early termination fee. This should not be allowed. 

Case Summary In XX/XX/2022, the FTC announced it stopped internet phone service provider XXXX from taking consumers money without their consent and creating obstacles to those who try to cancel their service. Under a proposed court order agreed to by XXXX, the company will be required to pay {$100.00} XXXX to refund consumers harmed by its actions, make its cancellation process simple and transparent, and stop charging consumers without their consent.

Company: Pacific Union Financial, LLC
State: MN
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Pacific Union is now refusing to accept my payments due a returned check. They will no longer allow me to pay online or by phone or through my bank with bill pay. As a result of the returned payments my mortgage fell behind 2 months and they stated they were going to begin the foreclosure process, sent someone to my house twice to post notes on my door and the last one was on my property taking photographs. They knew I was attempting to pay my mortgage but went ahead anyway. I find their business practices unethical and threatening. When I realized my payments were being rejected I called them and I was told that due to the returned check that for the next 6 months they will only accept payment via certified check or through XXXX XXXX in which I'm forced to pay extra fees. The associate on the phone was unhelpful and rude. I bank online so not only it this extremely inconvenient it also costly and very stressful. As a mortgage lender PCU has a fiduciary duty to it clients and needs to hold itself to that standard.

Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
Recently my identity was stolen and I reported a fraudulent account under the name XXXX XXXX who are the collection agents for XXXX XXXX who claim I do not have a loan with them on my credit report with Trans Union. Police report is XXXX. It has been over 30 days and I still have not received a response. Every time I call for for years my account is always held with the fraud team so I can not get access to my report and I am put on hold for 2-3 hours every time. This includes when I call in because their system can never keep my login credentials correct and I am forced to reset every time I log in. Now I am being forced to pay for services I have been receiving for free for decades. I am sick of it.

Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint:
I have submitted several disputes and nobody seems to be reading my statements regarding the disputed closed accounts. Which are preventing me from accessing credit. Lawfully, the public has no ability, therefore no obligation to pay debt, per the removal of Gold Standard. As per 12 USC-1431, Banks are the borrower. As per 42 USC-408, requiring my Social Security Number, if not for financial transaction, is a crime. As per 15 USC-1602g, the Consumer is actually the Creditor. As per 31 USC-5118 & House Joint Resolution 192, all public debts are the obligation of the United States Treasury & Congress and must be discharged Per Public Law 73.10. As per UCC1, UCC11, the disputed accounts are not listed. UCC3-104 negotiable instruments, promissory notes are legal tender once signed & satisfied once securitized/monetized per UCC 3 ( 3-104,3-304,3-310 ). XXXX update all the disputes immediately, however Experian has not addressed my several disputes directly, only send me a generic response stating the accounts have been confirmed and updated not regarding my dispute. XXXX has been very slow to update or process my request, but Experian has failed to properly investigate/ read my disputes so I must complain.

Company: Spring Oaks Capital, LLC
State: FL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
A derogatory remark from " Springs Oak capital '' appeared on my credit report in XXXX XXXX. They claim that I owe them {$6400.00} which-unbeknownst to me-is borrowed money from their company. Obviously, this struck me as odd because not only have I never heard of Springs Oak capital before but also because I was completely unaware of any debt with them. 

I have repeatedly attempted to get in touch with the company for more information, but all my attempts have been fruitless. After doing some additional research on the company, I found out that they are not licensed to collect debt from people living in Florida. Consequently, I am requesting that you remove this item from my credit report as soon as possible.

Complaint:
I have sent in the necessary documents to Equifax credit reporting agency, to block the fraudulent remarks off of my credit report and to my surprise, their specialized fraud department has not been answering my phone-calls, i get transferred over to them and its no answer, they are completely avoiding me. I have sent in this i.d theft packet of documents that i was asked to send by them. I have sent them exactly what the laws from FTC.gov site advises consumers to send in to the reporting agencies when a victim of i.D theft. And i will attach all that I've sent them as well to this complaint. I need Equifax 's fraud department under surveillance now as they seem to willingly violate my consumers right without hesitation or deep thought for their own monetary gain. Under FCRA 605 ( B ) law, states : ( a ) Block. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt by such agency of ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report ; ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer; and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. And i've clearly sent all that was needed with the request to Block items under this section. I did my part. They need to do theres. Otherwise ill be opening litigation, immediately.

Issue: Problem getting a card or closing an account
Sub-issue: Trouble closing card

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, money was withdrawn from a checking account in the amounts of {$2900.00} and {$1600.00}. We discovered this on XX/XX/XXXX and immediately called the bank. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a Chime debit card in the mail issued in my name to my address. I called Chime on that date. It took the 2nd call before I was able to reach someone who ultimately indicated that he had that card/account cancelled. After we closed the bank accounts with the original bank # and were issued a new account #, the 2nd unauthorized withdrawal happened on XX/XX/XXXX. Immediately after this withdrawal I received two more Chime debit cards at my address in my name. I have XXXX. They got on the phone with me and XXXX whereby we gave them the three account numbers, routing numbers, and card # 's. Two of the supposed debit cards account numbers were through XXXX Bank while the third was through XXXX. ( I would like complaints registered with these XXXX banks as well ). We asked for Chime to cancel all three accounts. On XX/XX/XXXX, a XXXX agent and I got on the phone again to follow up with Chime to make sure the accounts were cancelled. One agent told us she could only find one account with the numbers we gave her and indicated she was transferring us to a higher level agent that could further assist. We were disconnected and tried a XXXXnd time where another agent indicated she was transferring us to someone who could help us and we were disconnected once again. Chime continues to ignore us or give us definitive information verifying all three cards/accounts have been cancelled. At one point, we were told, the information did not match their records and they could no longer assist.
