Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NJ
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
I have been a victim of identity theft. American Express was one of the accounts opened by someone using my information. The truncated account number on the bureaus is XXXX. I disputed this as a fraudulent account to the credit bureaus. NOTHING WAS DONE. I received no communication from Amex regarding fraud procedures. It was handled like any other dispute. This is a violation of federal law. 

The account shows an open date of XX/XX/2016. It has a high balance {$1300.00} and an existing balance of $ XXXX..with ONE MONTH OF ACTIVITY and charged off. According to investigators, this is the classic example of how a fraudulent account looks on the bureaus. 

If AMEX does nothing about this ... DOES IT JUST END THERE? 

CFPB needs to publish the glaring inactivity regarding fraudulent accounts by AMEX

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: PA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
Ocwen took more than 4 months for modification. Continued charging enormous fees. Finally completed modification started and completed trial as required told I would have a large balloon payment at the end of loan and that was the best they could do or would foreclosure on my home. Currently trying to refinance and credit report does not reflect trial modification payments. No description that I was paying payments for four months. Ocwen reported 120 late for entire modification and continued to report late after trial was completed and permanent loan was modified. Only after numerous calls did they change certain months with accurate information. But still continue to report 120 late for four months with no mention of payment agreement when I was on trial modification made payments in advance so technically I paid 3 months in advance so should have been reported as on time No resolution since XX/XX/2017

State: VA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
Dear Sir or Madame, The purpose of this communication is to file a formal complaint against Equifax. I have repeatedly asked for evidence to support their reporting, but they have failed to provide me with a copy of viable evidence submitted by the following collection agencies reporting fraudulent collection accounts in my credit files. 

1 ) XXXX XXXX - Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance - {$150.00} 2 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX - Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance -  {$320.00} 3 ) XXXX XXXX XXXX - Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance - {$120.00} Unfortunately, after not receiving any responses from the collection agencies reporting erroneous collection accounts on my credit reports. I disputed these accounts on three separate occasions with all 3 credit bureau 's by mail ( Certified mail return receipt requested ) requesting the following : 1 ) Investigation of the fraudulent collection accounts 2 ) " Burden of Proof '' Documentation bearing my signature, verifying that these accounts belong to me 3 ) " Fraud Alert '' be placed in my credit files with my phone number asking that goods or services not be extending without first contacting me personally and verifying all application information. 

Thankfully, XXXX  and XXXX abided by the " Fair Credit Reporting Act '' by working with me in a collective manner to rectify these fraudulent collection accounts ultimately deleting them from my credit files. However, I have little to no responses from Equifax in providing me with the " burden of proof '' or status of my investigation/re-investigation results within a timely manner. Most importantly, in my third written communication to all three Bureau 's I submitted a police report, a letter requesting a Fraud alert be placed on my file and a re-investigation of the fraudulent collection accounts. 

Therefore, I will be providing all supporting documentation to support my claim and attempts to communicate effectively with Equifax and the collection agencies regarding this matter. Lastly, I am asking for you to intervene for a fair judgment based on the Violation of The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( including but not limited to Section 623. ) and have any inaccuracies removed from my credit report.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CO
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Threatened to contact someone or share information improperly
Sub-issue: Talked to a third-party about your debt

Complaint:
A debt collector called my in-laws looking for me and my wife. I don't know what debt they might be talking about as we are currently making payments on several accounts that went past due. 

The debt collector told my in-laws to have me or my wife call a number. They gave my in-laws the number. When you call the number a recorded voice clearly identifies the number as a debt collection agency location service. The number they gave my in-laws is XXXX. My in-laws called the number and now know we are battling a financial problem and trying to get our debt straightened out. 

We called the company and fixed the problem with our account. We also asked them why they called. They claimed they just called numbers listed on the account. We told them that regardless of the number on the account they shouldn't have provided my in-laws with phone number to a debt collection agency. For example, my kids could answer my cell phone. That doesn't give them freedom to tell my child a debt collector is looking for me. They completely disregarded our concern and demanded payment on the account. 

They removed all 3rd party contact information from our account but before they did we confirmed that they had a hole slew of numbers that our not mine or my wife 's. For example, they had my wife 's ex-husbands number and his mother 's number as contact numbers for us. My wife divorced him over 10 years ago and neither he or his mother are people we associate with positively. In fact, we are in a custody battle with him because I am trying to adopt my step children for which he is the biological father. The last thing we need is them knowing we are also having financial issues. The company would not confirm whether or not they had called any of the numbers we had them remove from the account.

Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Sent card you never applied for

Complaint:
In XXXX of XXXX, I shopped at XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and only browsed XXXX. After the purchase, I received credit cards from all 4 merchants. 

XXXX -- product returned immediately, but they still showed charges of over {$40.00} XXXX -- charged for partial order, but was not aware. In XXXX they sent the item and started sending me bills for over {$60.00}.

XXXX XXXX -- product received, but they were charging me {$37.00} for the yearly card. 
XXXX -- looked for a particular item and left. I still received a card asking for yearly fee. 

Tried to call XXXX XXXX several times as well as store customer service, but nothing was resolved. I finally received a call from XXXX on XXXX XXXX, they listened to my complaints about receiving cards and they said they will close all and clear the accounts. However, as of XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX claims I owe them {$58.00}. Spoke with the number provided and told them that account was cleared by the bank. They insisted it was not. I am suspecting the other merchants will do the same, harass me until they receive the money they think I owe. I am hoping that someone will help us before anything else happens. 

These merchants and the XXXX XXXX XXXX are committing fraud. They should be penalized and punished every possible way. They are misleading the consumer. As for me, I will not shop at the above merchants again.

ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT THE ACCOUNTS AND INQUIRIES DOES NOT RELATE TO ANY TRANSACTIONS MADE BY ME.
