On XXXX XXXX, XXXX PHOENIX FINANCIAL SERVICES add a derogatory mark on my credit reports. Upon further research, this account was transferred /sold and I am no longer responsible for it. Debtors creditors did not verify this collection. Also there was no written form of communication, contract or signature for this account debt at all. A bill without signature does not validate the debt and anybody can send a bill and say it is mine. According to the FCRA PHOENIX FINANCIAL SERVICES has violated my rights as a consumer and I requesting legal action to remove this account immediately.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I am reaching out regarding predatory practices on behalf of the company XXXX XXXX that seek to damage my credit. With the exemption of XXXX in which account XXXX XXXX # XXXX is removed, this said account has been charged off and closed. Additionally, Transunion and XXXX   report this account as closed in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. The lender ( XXXX XXXX ) is attempting to ILLEGALLY re-age a closed, charged off account. According to the FCRA, the beginning, first date of delinquency can not be changed once an account is charged off. Once a charged off account reaches 7 years, then the credit bureaus must purge the account from your credit history. XXXX XXXX has ILLEGALLY re-opened the account in an attempt to reset the 7 year clock. It is illegal for a creditor to change the purge from date on a negative account by reopening the account so that it remains on the consumer credit report. 

In light of the lack ethical practices on behalf of XXXX XXXX, incorrect payment history, incorrect account status, I am requesting that this account is REMOVED from my credit reports immediately. I have disputed this account several times and both Transunion and XXXX have failed to adequately investigate my dispute after verifying these accounts which I know are inaccurate. The lender is attempting to illegally re-age the account. Consumers have the right to be protected from unfair credit practices ; hence I am requesting reparations by the account being removed. Please remove as soon as possible to avoid further damage to my credit and my reputation with creditors. Thank you again for your time. XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I have notified XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and Equifax via certified mail on numerous occasions requesting documentation to prove that the negative information being reported is accurate. The credit bureaus only sent me a report stating that the accounts were verified. They refuse to provide me with the METHOD of Verification of their investigation. I have demanded to see verifiable proof ( original signed contract with my signature on it ) of all negative accounts being reported on my credit file. They have failed to respond satisfactory within the 30 days of receipt of my certified letter. They must now remove the account due to the company unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof. They are now liable for willful non-compliance with the FCRA.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: OR
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
XXXX I received a XXXX XXXX XXXX from Capital One for {$300.00} with an aggressive interest rate. I paid that amount back but Capital One continued to move forward with late fees and such despite my telling them that I paid the {$300.00} back and was now suffering from a brain injury. It was charged off in XXXX, per a phone call I took today from the Capital One Appeals team. 

Now, in XXXX, I was served papers for a suit where Capital One is claiming I had a credit line of $ XXXX. This was on the repair side of a bankruptcy and, no, I never had a credit card from Capital One for XXXX. I suspect, they compounded late fees and interest to craft an amount that would be worthy of investing in court fees and legal counsel. I am convinced this is a needlessly aggressive amount and the lawsuit for the incorrect amount is simply compounded interest made for the convenience of Capital One and in hopes I would be easily bullied due to my brain injury. 

I am not. Instead of " rolling over '' I filed an Answer to the XXXX County Circuit Court -- explaining the above -- and also spoke to the XXXX XXXX handling the debt collection. 

I only ever received a credit card for {$300.00} on the recovery end of a bankruptcy case. I paid that back but the answer I sent to the court would be to pay the {$300.00} again despite being unemployed and supported due to COVID-19 recovery efforts. 

Meanwhile, I'm suddenly now ( in XXXX ) getting calls and letters from Capital One for the wrong amount owed now in despite the five years of silence between the " charge off '' since XXXX. 

There is something very wrong here. 
( I NEVER had a card from them for $ XXXX! )

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Late or other fees

Complaint:
I opened two checking accounts on XX/XX/XXXX. The accounts were our " house '' account XXXX and " groceries '' account XXXX. When we opened the accounts, we were required to hold an aggregate average daily balance of XXXX or we would be assessed a {$25.00} fee each month. The fee is only assessed once regardless of the number of accounts. We added two more checking accounts " billpay '' XXXX and " savings '' XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX that were also linked so that their balance was included in the aggregate daily balance. We were assessed no fees through XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX  because our aggregate balance was above {$10000.00}. My wife added a fifth checking account " nana '' XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX where she was the sole account holder. However, when the bank added the fifth checking account, the customer service agent changed which accounts were linked. There are two boxes the customer service agent has to check to link and include the accounts in the aggregate balance calculation. The agent setting up my wife 's account did not check them both which caused the billpay, savings, and nana account to all have their own individual {$10000.00} requirement ( {$1500.00} in the case of the nana account ). As a result of this customer service error, the bank assessed fines on those three accounts intermittently from XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( when we realized the error ) totaling {$1200.00}. I discussed this error with a customer service representative, and my understanding is that if the accounts had been correctly linked per the original agreement, we would never have been assessed a fee on these accounts. We should have only been assessed {$120.00} in fees ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX  ) on the house account XXXX account. The bank has refunded {$75.00} in fees. I have previously submitted this complaint, and the bank 's response was that I was not an approved account holder on one of the accounts ( Nana ). While this is correct, for one of the 5 accounts ( Nana ) it completely ignores the rest of the complaint. They refuse to answer the phone or return phone calls for the contact information connected with this ( I've tried 11 times now ). So I am submitting this complaint again only for the accounts I am an account holder on ( house, groceries, billpay, savings ).
