Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
The credit reporting industry does not provide accurate credit scores that the mortgage lenders are using. For example experian gives you a FICO Score XXXX, but lenders use FICO score XXXX. There is a substantial difference between these scores and there is no explanation as to why there is such a difference. I have a great history on payments for mortgages and auto loans. I have never been late on either and have payed off mortgages and auto loans in the past. I have never foreclosed on a home loan nor short-saled, I have never had my cars repossessed, yet my FICO score for the mortgages and auto is much lower than what the FICO score being reported to me is, by almost 72 points. I am being told there are different models for determining scores for mortgages and auto loans. I don't understand why there are different models and why we can't get the formula for determining our scores ourselves.

It seems to me that this is a tactic lenders are using to justify giving you a higher interest rate to good paying consumers. It's an unfair practice and this industry needs regulations. Right now consumers can not dispute their scores only their credit reports. It is in my opinion that a consumer should have the right to know how FICO determines your scores for mortgages and auto loans. There should only be one score that is used by lenders, whether applying for a credit card, an auto loan or home loan and not this convoluted system they've created to scam people out of more money.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
I am a desperate consumer. I hope this complaint helps me to get a fair solution to my issue. I want to express that Monterey Collection Services has committed the following damages and violations to the California Credit Reporting Act : the account has been re-aged. Date of last activity is being reported much after the opened date, they have failed to report last payment date. This is causing a huge impact on my score. They have been negligent and unfair. 

I have suffered several damages : This item has stopped me from getting loans and is making me pay high interest rates due to credit score drop. My financial life is ruined because of this situation, i have experienced emotional stress. 

Based on all the damages that this company has caused me, I am demanding the following account to get removed from my records : account # XXXX, Opened date XX/XX/2017,, highest balance {$1700.00}, current balance {$0.00}, original creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I have made my research and I have prepare some documentation. Please send the attached files to Monterey Collection Services, that is also known as Monterey Financial Services LLC. 

Thank you.

Complaint:
On or around XX/XX/2020, I contacted US Bank in order to close my credit card account with them. I was assured by the phone representative that the account will be closed and the {$60.00} annual fee refunded in FULL. I was expecting the refund of the annual fee to be offset against the charge I have made on XX/XX/XXXX, with the aim of avoiding having to deal with the nuisance of having to a check in the mail and deposit it. 
Unfortunately, contrary to the confirmation by the phone rep, the fee wasn't refunded and the account appears to not even have been closed.

Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
After initially telling Transworld Systems , Inc. that I was in the process of disputing the claim with my insurance provider, they called a few more times, but were not pushy after I explained what that I was still working through the process with my insurance provider. Then, upon the final decision by my insurance provider, I tried to go online to the site and with the registration # provided to me in the letter from Transworld. The website address was correct, but when I tried repeatedly to enter my registration code and information, the message that I had an invalid registration kept popping up. I used 2 different computers and 3 different web browsers and still never could log in to pay the bill. I called 2 different numbers provided by Transworld for help logging on to pay the bill. They were never helpful about my login issues and kept pushing me to pay over the phone and kept saying they'd send a confirmation letter to my mailing address. I knew from reading complaints on the CFPB website that those letters often never came. I want to pay it in full, online, so I can print out the confirmation page myself to turn in for my HRA account. These conversations happened Friday, XX/XX/XXXX. The amount owed is {$2000.00}. As it stands today, I still can not log on and pay my bill using the information they've provided in a letter and over the phone. I want to pay the bill and I can pay the bill in full, but I will not do it over the phone as I do not trust this company. I will pay online where I can print out proof of the payment. The first person I spoke with was not helpful regarding my log-in issues and just kept pushing me to pay online. I hung up and called another number and that person at least tried to tell me he'd " reset my registration code and that it should work now ''. The new code he gave me didn't work either - it seemed he just made it up on the spot - and then he kept pushing for me to pay online as well. Again, I do not want to give my credit card information over the phone to this company. I will pay online only.

Company: ERC
State: MI
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
I am the victim of identity theft pertaining to a XXXX account which was opened in my name and using my Social Security Number. The account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX and closed on XX/XX/XXXX. The account number has a total balance of {$320.00}. The services provided for this account were rendered at XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Michigan, XXXX. 

Sometime in XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX contacted me via mail to attempt to collect on the balance of {$320.00}. Upon receipt of this bill, I contacted XXXX to inform them that I had been the victim of identity theft. Under their instruction, I completed and submitted an ID Theft Claim Packet, which I sent to them postdated XX/XX/XXXX. 

In support of this packet I provided : 1 ) a copy of my government issued photo ID, issued on XX/XX/XXXX ; 2 ) a copy of a signed lease agreement for my residency ; 3 ) a signed, notarized affidavit by my landlord, attesting to my uninterrupted residence. 

However, I received a bill collection invoice from Enhanced Recovery Company , LLC, dated XX/XX/XXXX which seeks recovery of {$320.00}. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted XXXX 's Fraud Department, an agent of which informed me that due to insufficiency of evidence, my claim had been rejected and my account had been moved into collections. This occurred entirely without my knowledge, and XXXX 's agent summarily informed me that because the account had been moved into collections, they could not reopen the claim for further evaluation. XXXX unilaterally and arbitrarily moved my account into collections despite their stated policy to contact any fraud claimant within two days of receiving their ID Theft Claim Packet ; that is, XXXX did not contact me upon receiving my packet submission. XXXX 's agent freely conceded as much. 

XXXX now has taken the position that I need to submit an additional ID Theft Claim Packet due to insufficiency of evidence. I oppose this requirement because it imposes an additional burden on me of needless document production and postage, an unfair waste of my time and resources, and I further protest XXXX 's behavior as abusive because they moved my account into collections without providing me any opportunity to provide supplemental or clarifying evidence, which damages my credit report notwithstanding my blameless conduct in fact.
