Company: HCFS Healthcare Financial Services of TeamHealth
State: NY
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint:
The company, XXXX began calling me in the middle of XX/XX/XXXX. I know the name of the company because when they left me a voicemail ( only 2 times out of the 30 times they've called ) it stated the name of the company. After they called me about 5 times I answered and the woman asked me my birthday, I said no and then she asked " I know the day and the month why don't you just tell me the year? '' I responded no and then she simply said we will send something to your home address and she abruptly hung up. I got another call just three days later. XXXX continued to call me throughout the month of XX/XX/XXXX. They call from different phone numbers every time but they always have a XXXX area code. Since they were calling so often and every time they called me while I was working, I simply changed my answering machine to say that if they are a debt collector to please stop calling me immediately. They still continued to call while I was working. After they called me on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I finally picked up on XX/XX/XXXX and told them to stop calling me again. Both callers I spoke to never stated the purpose or any information on why they were calling me. They simply said it was important business information and then continued to coerce me into confirming my birthday. They continued to call throughout the month of XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX while I was working. I am a XXXX so I simply can't just pick up the phone while I'm in the XXXX  and tell them to stop once again. The last dates that my phone logs indicate that they called my on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX.  They call while I am working and I've been forced to ignore their calls every time because I simply can not let this outlandish form of harassment jeopardize the safety of my operation.

State: TX
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
I submitted a complaint XXXX, concerning my home loan being reviewed for foreclosure, because I had been told I could make a payment. I requested the telephone calls be reviewed. On XX/XX/2019, I received a message from XXXX stating Navy Federal claimed I had not submitted the Hardship packet. However, this is not true and I have the tracking receipt to prove the packet was received. I never received a letter or anything concerning my Hardship packet, but I received a letter stating my home was being sold on XX/XX/2019, and people have been texting and calling my phone concerning the sale of my home. I am a XXXX  veteran and I have a XXXX XXXX and I am awaiting VA benefits for XXXX, so the fear of being homeless is affecting me in a horrible manner. Why request I send in a packet and under documentation if there was no intent to assist me. I emailed Navy Federal a copy of the transaction receipt, because I do not feel the information provided to me over the telephone can be relied upon since this last issue occurred. I have no idea if calls were received or update on packet.

Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint:
I previously disputed alleged Ch XXXX bankruptcy item with the bureaus In response they verified the item as accurate, stating that the information verified with the court. I contacted the court myself as the court may have violated federal and residence privacy laws by submitting such false information to the Bureau.

The court responded making it clear they did not report or validate any information with credit bureau ; therefore the original response from the bureau stating they verified the item with the court was either an error or flat out lie. Either way, the reporting requirements do not comply with FCRA 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ), I was never sent any proof but I did get my own proof, yet the Bureaus have yet to comply. I have been being ignored for over 90 days!

Company: Dovenmuehle Mortgage, Inc.
State: MD
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
I am a XXXX XXXX  working with a homeowner with Dovenmuehle as the servicer of her mortgage. The homeowner and I worked together to piece together her loss mitigation assistance application which was deemed as complete on XX/XX/XXXX. In XXXX, my client was informed that she was turned down for the assistance and I called to find out why- being that her income was adequate, her credit was fair, and her budget was very streamlined. For an entire week, I made calls daily to get answers regarding why she was turned down. Finally, I was able to get transfered to a manager who stated that my client 's expenses make the mortgage unaffordable to the homeowner. When I asked about what they had listed as expenses, the manager at Dovenmuehle stated that they do not have access to that info as it is complied and researched by a private 3rd Party company. I was able to get the name of the company but when I called, I was told they do not take phone calls. I reached out to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX and explained the situation- being that the loan was originally a CDA loan, I figured the State of Maryland would be able to point me in the right direction. I was given contact info for XXXX XXXX, also at XXXX. He was able to find out that the 3rd Party firm calculated my client 's monthly spending on food at {$700.00} dollars for the month. XXXX XXXX requested that I piece together the clients expenses and provide bank statements that coordinate with the months in question. I submitted these documents to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX stated to me that the documentation was sufficient and he would follow up shortly. On XX/XX/XXXX, my client received a letter from Dovenmuehle. The specific language of the document states : " You May have been approved for a standard modification ''. Weeks went by and the homeowner and I were not contacted. The only updates we can get are from XXXX XXXX and only when we ask. Dovenmuehle didn't even have it documented in the system that XXXX was working with them to resolve the issue. 
Here we are 90 days after I was told no further documentation is needed and the homeowner still does not have a response from Dovenmuehle.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: CT
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 contacted Comenity Bank as well as XXXX XXXX XXXX in regards to a collections account that resulted from a fraudulent account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. This account is as a result of identity theft. I have stated this information to both creditors and they have disregarded my claim. They continue to send me statements of the account but have failed to validate the debt as belonging to me. I have requested an application bearing my signature and a copy of my identification proving that I was the party that opened the account. So far they have not provided me with this proof. 

Under the FCRA, if the creditor can not validate the origin of the account and its accuracy and authenticity, they are required by law to remove it from being reported to the credit bureaus. THis is damaging my credit rating and causing me a lot of stress.

Complaint:
Hi & How are you doing? Im little confused how the late payments is reporting on my credit report. Basically, I am requesting this investigation under the authorization of the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623. ( a ) ( 8 ) ability of consumer to dispute information directly with the furnisher. I am not sure how this happened, I believe that I had made my payments to you when I received my statements. My only thought is that my monthly statement did not get to me, or the payment was not applied as fast as expected. I check my bank account and noticed that you deducted the money out of my checking account that on the month that you marked me late on my credit report.

What I am disputing : The late payments you have reported to the three credit bureaus. 

My basis for this dispute is that this account was always paid in a timely manner, during the months in question, which you have reported as being late.
