Complaint:
Back in late XXXX early XXXX I placed a furniture order with XXXX XXXX. I was notified several times of the products shipping being delayed. I had planned a trip out of the country but unluckily they called the day before my departure to let me know the product was finally ready for delivery. I called XXXX XXXX the same day to notify them that I had planned to leave the country. They advised me to call the delivery warehouse direct. I did so but was not successful getting someone on the line. I proceeded to leave for my trip to XXXX as planned the next day. Unfortunately while I was in XXXX I had learned I was XXXX  and immediately had complications. I have been a XXXX sufferer of XXXX most of my life and have never been able to carry. I was put on bed rest due to a XXXX XXXX. I suffered XXXX  and XXXX XXXX throughout my entire XXXX you see and did not have the capacity to deal with XXXX XXXX at the time. After I was finally allowed to return back to my country and had recovered physically and emotionally I tried to reach out to XXXX XXXX to explain the situation. I wrote their corporate office as well and did not receive a response. Whomever I did speak to eventually opened a dispute. I guess someone determined store credit was sufficient. I obviously do not feel the same. If XXXX XXXX did not delay their shipping numerous times there would have been no issue. This has been reporting with all the credit bureaus and is keeping me from buying a home. I am not obligated to pay this debt and XXXX XXXX is lacking serious integrity by reporting this with the bureaus. They have not lost anything as I was never delivered the furniture while I suffered a tremendous loss and now I am being held accountable for goods I did not even receive. The debt company is working with me to try and resolve this as even they are sympathetic to my situation. Please help me resolve this once and for all. In order to hold me accountable for this debt they should have to furnish proof of delivery. they can not do that since I did not receive the furniture.

Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX submitted a collection account to XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX in the amount of {$780.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, I agreed to settle this balance with XXXX XXXX for an amount less than owed, and submitted payment. As such, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a " Release of Debt '' notice from XXXX 's collection agency, and each of the credit repositories began reporting the account as " legally paid for less than the amount owed '' and/or " paid after collection. '' Sometime in XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX updated this reporting to " paid after charge off, '' which is incorrect. In an effort to resolve the matter, I contacted XXXX XXXX, paid the remaining balance, and obtained a letter from the creditor confirming that the account was paid after collection. In addition, I submitted three dispute claims with XXXX, along with supporting documentation from XXXX confirming the account 's status. However, the trade line has not yet been corrected. Although my credit scores for each of the repositories are XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, respectively, I have been denied credit since XX/XX/XXXX, from creditors that have previously granted me credit. Upon receipt of each of the Adverse Action Notices, the sole reason for denial has been the " paid after charge off '' reported account.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage
Sub-issue: Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue related to modification, forbearance, short sale, deed-in-lieu, bankruptcy, or foreclosure

Complaint:
I was not present at my closing and upon getting documents from the first lender, first centennial, the lender let it slip that my brother, who signed as my attorney in fact was actually under the guardianship of my mother. This makes the sale null and void per Illinois law. I have not been making payment on the loan until XXXX, the second lender who took over my loan answers for this. In the meantime, my loan is at risk into going in to foreclosure which I am trying to avoid. They did not do the proper due diligence during the sale of this loan. I saw bsi has already been in hot water for things like this and both XXXX  and first Centennial should be held accountable for their negligence. I was taken advantage of because I was not present at my closing.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I would like to file a complaint about an account listed on my credit report that was never updated after paying the balance in full to the collection agency assigned to it. I have already tried resolving this directly with the original creditor, the collection agency and XXXX  with no resolution because each organization states it is not their responsibility to report my payment. 
I understand that I fell behind on past obligations and I am ashamed of myself for those issues. There was a period of time where I had unfortunate circumstances that led me to credit issues but I worked very hard to recover from them and I eventually paid the debt I was responsible for and Ive rebuilt my credit. I did not realize that this account was still showing as unpaid until I was just denied employment because of this outstanding issue. At this point I am begging someone to please report this account as paid. 
The account listed on my credit report is XXXX XXXX, the collection agency I paid in full is Keith D Weiner & Associates. I have the letter showing that I satisfied this debt and it is attached to this complaint.
