Consumer complaint received 2020-11-16
Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P.
State: NC
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
This company continues to fail to validate the SCRA ( Serviceman Relief Act ) which entitles the serviceman to receive 6 % rate regardless if they bought the account from a prior creditor as long as the account was open prior to entering the service. The process requires the rate percentage to be amended to the amount and then provide the consumer with the final amount to pay off their amount. I have called several times, dispute the account on my credit bureau, and they still refuse to warrant the relief that I have the right to have. I inform them JAG validates this relief and those who do not follow it are clearly violating the serviceman 's right! 

This company tried to sale my account yet to another collector that threaten to take legal action and once advise to SCRA and dispute stated that they need to handle the situation and they will no longer persist. 

I reached out to them several times t warrant my relief and pay off the deft, but all they try to do is give me some sort of payment arrangement, but refuse to truly validate SCRA. Previously they pass on this account to yet another collection company, but they had no problem to warrant the relief percentage, but when I called back to payoff the agreement they account went back to LVNV FUNDING LLC due to my dispute through the credit bureau. As I called LVNV FUNDING LLC again they continue to refuse to validate the relief. I inform them I have spoken to an attorney at JAG and they have advise that the relief should be validated.

Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
After reviewing your letter which I attached from your company, Equifax, stating why you have refused to block the fraudulent information from my credit report I found it very interesting. Your company said in accordance with Section 605B of the FCRA you have determined not to block this fraudulent information subject to the submitted identity theft report and/or police report that I provided. That decision is not up to you, you only have the right to deny or rescind a block if there was a misrepresentation of material fact relevant to the request to block, or I have obtained possession of goods, services, or money as a result of the transaction issue. This request was not made in error. I, XXXX XXXX, did not make this request in error. I also did not receive any goods, services, or money as a result of the transaction issue. I also sent the report which I have made with the Federal Trade Commission with my original letter, which I have attached to this complaint, and that is certainly not a misrepresentation of material fact being that these accounts are in fact fraudulent. So, please explain exactly why this fraudulent information has not been blocked from my credit report? The reason that you have listed does not apply so I can only believe that your company is purposely reporting this fraudulent information to my credit report which is an act of constructive fraud. So pursuant to 15 USC 1681c-2 and the fact that your company has clearly lied, your company, Equifax now has 4 business days after receiving this complaint to block and remove these fraudulent accounts. Please review the attached copy of 15 USC 1681c-2 of the FCRA for your recollection. Thank you

Company: Exeter Finance Corp.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan
Sub-issue: Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold

Complaint:
Vehicle was purchased in XX/XX/XXXX and financed through Exeter Financial, by XX/XX/XXXX we were behind a few payments and made payment arrangements. Company charged off account while in the middle of paying and refused to work with us to cancel the repossession order. Company did not provide us with appropriate notice as outlined by law. Under the laws of the State of New Hampshire UCC 382-A:1-202, 382-A:2-706 and New Hampshire RISA and MVISA statues a deficiency can not  be claimed unless all of the required notices were properly and timely given, and all of the allowable redemption and cure time limits were adhered to. This situation has hurt us financially and has impacted our credit beyond measure. While we believe we have grounds to collect for damages we are willing to overlook that if the company removes the deficiency balance and charge off from our credit reports as requested. We have attempted to communicate with the company several times but they refuse to furnish the proof of legal repossession.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NH
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card

Complaint:
This credit card company decreased by credit limit and then hit me with a finance charge ( $ 400+ ) for a purchase sometime ago. For a credit card I rarely used, now my balance is over the limit and I will continue getting charged due to the face that they decreased my limit at the same time they hit me with the finance charge.I have never had any late payments or issues. 

I'm not complaining about the finance charge, I'm upset that they lowered my limit and then hit me with the charge so they could collect even more. How is that allowed?

Company: ROBINHOOD MARKETS INC.
State: NY
Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Money order
Issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint:
Dear CFPB Officer, My name is XXXX XXXX. About three months ago, I started investing my money on stocks through Robinhood XXXX. When I decided to transfer my money out of Robinhood, it restricted my action because the initial bank account that registered with my Robinhood account was not the same as the one I would like to have my money transferred to. Thus, my request can not be fulfilled and they closed my account eventually without notifying me. Later, I got a call from their representative, he told me that my action requires their specialist to call me to assign a money order then I can withdraw my money from my local bank. However, during the past three months, I tried to reach them out and kept sending emails to their customer service email address regarding the same issue. None of my emails got a legitimate response from their side except those automatic replies. I deeply doubt that I got scanned by their company. Especially, considering the raging and increasing accuses and complaints pointed to their company since the 'XXXX buying scandal '' I really don't know what to do and where to ask for help now. My family and I need this money to survive. Please help us find a way to get my money back. For your reference, I have attached some evidence below. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need my further corporation. Your help is highly appreciated.
