Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint:
I filed a complaint against TD Retail for purposely being unhelpful when I was getting XXXX  by their policies - I had made the apparently unforgivable mistake of paying a day early. In retaliation for complaining, they intentionally messed with my credit score. The useless, extremely unhelpful female I spoke to is obviously to blame as I told her how worried I was about my credit since I'm looking to buy my first home. 

After daring to pay a day early, my available line of credit was reduced from {$1200.00} to {$350.00} - just a little under how much I still owed making it so my credit report would show me being OVER my limit, therefore reducing my credit score even more than just a missed payment reported. That's when I complained via the phone. The female I spoke to was so useless I filed a complaint with this website.

Then, this month when I went to make a payment my credit limit was further reduced to {$100.00} when I still owed about {$270.00}. That is a significant amount over my limit which caused my credit score to plummet. 

What other purpose would reducing my credit limit twice - to under what I owed both times - serve other than to punish me? How utterly petty and vindictive. My credit took such a big hit it'll be at least a year before I can even use my VA loan, which has lower standards than most.

Company: Debt Recovery Solutions, LLC
State: FL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2021, I was notified by XXXX XXXX of new account in collections. Prior to that, I had none. The debt of {$830.00} says it was opened in XX/XX/2021 and the original creditor was XXXX XXXX XXXX. I disputed the charge and they said, it's legit. 

Here 's the issue, I have no clue what the XXXX this is for, received no communication and even after the dispute, none of this has changed. I only have 3 credit cards, I think the oldest is 4 years old. 2 are with XXXX XXXX and 1 is with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. So, if this is mine, not only did they break the law below, I still have no idea where this came from, when it really happened and why it's in collections when there were no late payments for any credit card servicer in the past 4+ years. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act excludes from Consumer Reports, accounts placed for collection or charged to profit or loss whose delinquency date predates the consumer report by more than seven years. The seven year period begins upon the expiration of a 180 day period beginning on the date of delinquency of the account. The date of delinquency then, determines how long the consumer debt can be reported on a consumers credit report. The date of delinquency occurs on the date when the first payment is missed regardless of how long after the delinquency the creditor charges off the account to profit or loss or places the account with a collection agency. The date of delinquency remains fixed until the account balance is paid in full. This date of delinquency therefore, remains even when the debt is placed with a collection agency, assigned or sold. Neither the Charged Off date nor the date when the account is placed with a collection agency can be used as the date of delinquency on an account.

Complaint:
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, after a CARES Act, COVID-related forbearance, tried to get me to enter into a modification without providing me with information about the fact that my credit score would be ruined, and they reported me late on the forbearance amount without my written approval ( i.e., I never agreed to the modification ), and when I realized the XXXX point drop in my credit score occurred, I asked to have the amount on forbearance deferred, which should not result in an impact on my credit score. That deferment has been completed. During the entire process I have tried to explain this to Experian through the dispute process, and with XXXX, to at least 7 people who all refuse to listen, and simply refer me to Experian, claiming it is their problem. Experian tells me it is the mortgage company 's issue, since they reported the modification and that resulted in the point drop. I am very frustrated that this has ruined my credit, which was approx. XXXX  point higher, and consistently in the very good to excellent category for the past 20 years, until this situation caused by XXXX occurred. XXXX XXXX XXXX has also changed from XXXX, to XXXX, to XXXX and had many impediments to communicating with me, and vice versa for the past 2 years, exacerbating the situation. One of the specialists that I have worked with, XXXX XXXX, at XXXX confided with me that my situation is not atypical, and XXXX as a company is customarily doing the same thing to many of their customers, i.e., tricking them into accepting a modification and then condemning them to a dramatically damaged credit rating, which prevents them from seeking another loan from one of their banking competitors. This unfair business practice is a violation of the intent of the CARES Act, which was to allow relief to borrowers during the Global Pandemic, allowing them to reinitiate their payments after the emergency had passed, without detrimental affects on their credit rating, etc. I know I am speaking on behalf of hundreds, if not thousands of borrowers with XXXX who once had good credit, and are now stuck with this treacherous and predatory lender. I would like the CFPB to share this complaint with others so that they may avoid this lender, their deceptive practices, and indeed know that they have recourse with the CFPB 's protections and actions. Thank you for your help!

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

Complaint:
My mom had less than 9k left on her mortgage. At that time she suffered for XXXX  of XXXX XXXX. She fell behind on her payments. A representative from Ditech came to the house to take pictures for foreclosure. I asked if I could help in catch up with the late payment which equaled under 2k. I offered to pay double payments a month beginning that month. I was told I couldn't do that and had to get a loan modification to stop the foreclose. I sent the paperwork about 7 times and I always got the runaround. During all these attempts, they continued to add up the months I wasn't allowed to make payments because of the modification process. They then foreclosed and sold the house to themselves in an auction that didn't happen. Now they offered to sell me back the house for 4x the amount originally owed. I was willing to do it to keep my mom, which now has XXXX, at home. I was told to get a co-borrower to ensure being granted the loan. When I told them I was having to do it alone, they took the application and within a day told me I didn't qualify because of my credit. So I asked if i could reapply with my long time boyfriend who had better credit than me. I was then told they don't accept co-borrowers. Now they served us an eviction citation and we have court. The judge granted me a continuance to help me find help. The day it was granted, a representative from ditech came to the house and told me to start packing because they were putting my stuff on the street the morning after our court hearing. He also said he recommends I find somewhere to take my mole and start getting her adjusted to new surrounding because of her condition. My mom was done wrong by this company who has a track record of XXXX  over their clients. Now all I can do is pray for a miracle or we will be homeless.

Complaint:
My wife was called by a blocked number and was told that We needed to call XXXX due to this person trying to serve lawsuit paperwork and it was returned. I was given an account number that appears to be fake. When I called, they said they were suing me for a US BANK account that I owed on. I replied with, '' I have never had a US Bank checking account ''. They then stated they had proof of me walking into a US Bank XXXX in XXXX of 2002 ( 2002 is not a type XXXX. I replied with, " even if I would have had an account over 19 years ago ... wouldn't the statute of limitations kick in seeing as this is the first time I have ever heard about it? The person on the other end of the phone stated, " There is no statute of limitations and we will sue you for all of your assets ''. They said they would see me in court and hung up the phone. 

I then called US Bank directly and asked if I had any delinquent accounts or if I had ever had a checking/savings account with them back in 2002 and the representative said, " No, we do not show you have had an account nor any delinquencies ''. 

I tried calling the XXXX back to see if I could get more information and they had me on hold for a while and then hung up on me.

Complaint:
Back in XX/XX/2019, I called to see what was the best way for me to handle my loans and apply for the loan forgiveness program, the representative told me that I had to consolidate the loans first and then apply for the loan forgiveness, I followed the instructions and consolidated but before doing so I made sure this was what I should do by asking them that I needed to consolidate then apply for the loan forgiveness and I was told yes. To come find out months later that was the wrong information and that now I have to start over with making payments for 10yrs before loans could be forgiven, I find that this is unfair and I already had payments that would have been counted towards the program had I been given the correct information and not had did the consolidation that I was told to do. This over XXXX  XXXX dollars minus 1 loan I knew did not qualify but the rest did, I feel as if I was not taken care of as a customer and that I was lead down the wrong path by a person I thought was well knowledgeable in what they were instructing and telling me to do.
