Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Complaint:
I was contacted on XX/XX/18 by a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX. They had left a message saying that I needed to give them a call immediately because they were in the process of serving me Court papers and would be showing up to my home and work to do so. Immediately after they left that message, they also called several members of my family and advised them that they were looking for me because they were in the process of serving me Court papers. I called them back as was advised that I was being sued for an old bank account that I had closed, and that account had a balance due. I have not had that account with the Bank that they referenced for over 10 years, I have not been contacted by that Bank, nor has there ever been anything on my credit report referencing such a collection. I let them know that I was unaware of the debt, the lady that I spoke with said that unless I paid I would be served the Court papers in the next two business days. I asked them to provide me with proof that I owed this money and that they were authorized to collect on this debt. They emailed me a very short letter which has no address or contact person 's name. The letter came from a generic email address. I have been contacted almost everyday since and they are continuing to contact family members ( telling them that I am being sued ) This is very upsetting to me that I, and especially my family members are receiving these harassing calls ... .. for a debt that I don't have.

Complaint:
I notified companies that reported to the credit reporting agencies that there was fraud committed about my credit that they reported.However these concerns went unresolved and more fraudulent actions were taken against me. I sent registered letters explaining that I had never used or made any transactions nor permitted any one else to make any transactions, and that I requested any and all information including a original contract signed by me also all receipts signed by me that was used against my credit any payments that I made concerning these fraudulent accounts. I explained that I would gladly payoff these accounts if they were mine if they can produce the things I requested to prove that I am responsible for these debts. All of these complaints and letters have fallen on deaf ears

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
In XXXX my husband and I put solar panels on our house. At that time there were news stories about people having trouble with leasing them. So we purchased ours. We took the loan thru XXXX XXXX and were told they would put a lien on our home. We were told specifically that this would not be a second mortgage, but an installment loan. If I had thought this would be a second mortgage I would have gone thru a mortgage company to obtain the loan. Unfortunately, we were late on this loan less than a year ago when my husband left his job. This was due to XXXX after the loss of our son 2 years prior. We sold our house in XXXX of XXXX and moved home to be near my family in XXXX XXXX. We have been staying with a gracious family member while we attempt to obtain a loan for a home. However, we have been told that we can not obtain a loan because the XXXX loan is reporting as having been late within the last year and is considered a second mortgage. I have contacted XXXX a number of times ( XXXX ) in order to find out what kind of loan this was. I was told this was an installment loan on more than one occasion and even have an email from them stating so. However, they are telling the credit reporting companies this was a second mortgage and now we are unable to obtain a home loan. IN the least, this is false advertising, or a bait and switch. I can't believe the interest we paid on a loan that I could have had funded by any local bank for half the interest. And in the worst, I was lied to, if I had known they were reporting as a second mortgage, I would have waited a year before uprooting my family and moving across country. Please help.
