XXXX is still reporting me negative to all three credit agencies to this day!!! The credit report company has also asked XXXX  to remove these items and they refused. So I called XXXX  and explained I wanted this removed from my credit they said it was out of there hands to call the collection agency so I called them and they said they couldnt removed it to call XXXX  back! So I put in complaint with the credit agencies thats allowing this hurtful information to stay on my credit and no one is doing anything! Also there is a second bill with a company XXXX. The original balance I owed was over {$5000.00} dollars I paid it down to {$1300.00} but some reports say I didnt pay anything on the bill at all, while others say the original amount was only {$1800.00} but all are incorrect with no payment history or very little payment history.

Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX I made application to refinance with Wells Fargo of my home that I had just purchased in XX/XX/XXXX, to take advantage of the lower interest rate. At the time, I have submitted all of my financial documents, and everything appeared to be ok, then suddenly there was no contact, as I insistantly inquired as to what was happening, I was finally told that my house did not appraise for the mortgage. I purchased my home for $ XXXX, and was told by Wells Fargo it was only valued at $ XXXX, just a few months after purchase. I tried to get answers on how and why they made that deteremination, I could not get any answers. I felt at that time, my home was intentionally and grossly under valued by Wells Fargo, for some reason, and could not get any reason as to why. Now, in XX/XX/XXXX, I was in contract to sell my home. I have a valid appraisal of my home for $ XXXX. I settled with the potential buyers for $ XXXX. The buyers had Wells Fargo as their bank. An appraiser through Wells Fargo, appraised my home at $ XXXX, shocking myself, the realtor and everyone involved. The appraisal was wrought with unexplained errors and comparisons. When my valid appraisal and supporting documents were submitted for review and reconsideration, Wells Fargo would not review the appraisal. The sale of my home could not take place. I believe my home is being intentional and grossly under valued by Wells Fargo.

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Complaint:
Amerifinancial Solutions placed a medical debt on my credit report. I was never contacted by them via mail or phone. I only learned of the debt through checking my credit report. This debt was never validated so I had no assurance of the debt being accurate. I need my credit so I paid the debt, and told them that I need it deleted from my credit as it is harming me and is an impediment to me obtaining financing for the purchase of a new home. The company would not comply when asked for their company address or to speak to a supervisor. I was assured that it would be deleted once paid, but was not given any information or confirmation after it was paid. I asked for a letter and they told me it would be sent in the mail. I havent received it and it hasnt been deleted. When i spoke to an agent I was treated rudely and hung up on when I asked to speak to a supervisor. They said they dont have any live supervisors to speak with and I would have to wait XXXX days to be contacted and it wasnt guaranteed when or if they would contact me. Their policies are terrible, and dont protect the consumer. There was no guarantee whether or not I was being scammed or not, but out of my need to get this off of my credit immediately I paid it. Now the company wont even comply with what I have asked for.
