Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I renewed an account with this company on XX/XX/2021. Within a couple weeks after opening the account, my household had a decrease in income. Which effected my payment history. The company charges a {$26.00} late fee after the 10-day grace. When I would call to make the payments, I would tell the customer service rep at the branch that I was making the regular payment. They would ask if I wanted to pay late fees, and I stated I did not. That I would pay them at the end ( thinking it was like traditional loans and not effect me negatively unless I was over 30 days late on the regular payment amount ). I had decided within the last year or so to focus on rebuilding and re-establishing my credit by checking my reports, cleaning my profile, and paying my bills as on time as much as possible. Doing so, I noticed in XXXX that they were taking my regular payments and applying it to the late charges FIRST, then applying the REMAINING amount to the actual payment. Which allowed it to report me past due every month I didn't pay the late fee. I first contacted the branch explaining my concern and the rep was very rude and hostile over the phone, to the point I ended up hanging up. I contact the XXXX customer service number, and they explained that those were the terms. I paid the loan off as soon as I could and wrote a goodwill letter explaining I was unaware that was how they applied the payments. I received a letter back explaining that I was indeed late majority of the loan ( which was not what I was disputing ), and that they would not be able to remove late payments. They also sent me the terms, the first page of my loan docs and my payment history. In the terms, it states opposite of what I was told over the phone and in the letter. It states that past due payment amount would be paid first, then late charges and fees. I have had an account with this company since I was XXXX, over 10 years. Only because I didn't know much about credit or that it was a predatory lending company, and had other family members that used them. As I look over my report, I see they have always done me this way. Took the late payment first and reported me 30, 60, 90+ days past due until late fees were paid.

State: RI
Product: Credit card or prepaid card

Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
I used a balance transfer check that that had a regular interest of 20.99 % for the amount of {$900.00} on XX/XX/2021. I made 3 payments to cover this {$900.00} payment a week later ; XX/XX/XXXX {$150.00}, XX/XX/XXXX {$560.00} and XX/XX/XXXX {$190.00}. Those payments were not applied towards this check ( {$900.00} ) that i had used. I did have about 3 other 0 % interest balance transfer offers, and it seems like they applied those ( 3 ) payments towards the 0 % balance instead of the one that was 20.99 %. I called them to get an explanation and told me the reason it wasn't applied was because i was not billed for the {$900.00}, therefore payments made were not applied towards this but to the other offers that had 0 %.

Company: SCA Collections, Inc.

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I was seen at XXXX XXXX XXXX who sent off a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX, I myself paid my bill at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX but XXXX XXXX failed to send me my bill for the XXXX XXXX. I did not know anything about the XXXX bill so they decided to send it to SCA Collections in XXXX of XXXX. I have just now found out about this in XXXX XXXX when my bank ran my credit for me in order to do a car loan. I immediately called SCA Collections on XX/XX/XXXX and asked what my collection was about and why I never received anything in the mail, they informed me to call XXXX XXXX ( when I did they originally had my address wrong along with the spelling of my name ) I then called SCA back and they also had the wrong address and name. By that time I called XXXX XXXX back to see if they could figure out anything for me and they told me they do not keep records in there facility and that they would have to do more research and contact me back. I took a day or two to see what they found out and they told me they could not give me information other than the fact I was seen in their office and the lab was sent off. I called XXXX XXXX back and asked them once again why I did n't receive a bill and they told me they had sent bills out from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX, once again I informed them I had never received a bill. After going back and forth with both facilities I decided to call SCA to see if I paid the bill if it would come off my credit and they have stated that I would have to wait 30 days. I am not willing to wait 30 days for something I never knew about so I called XXXX XXXX back and gave them the information where I paid off the Collection Agency and asked if they could call their collectors to get it off, they rudely informed me there was nothing they could do and that it would take 60-90 days before anything could be done ( Does n't add up to the collection agency saying 30 days ). None of these companies have been willing to help me out knowing I have never received any statements or phone calls about having a debt.

Complaint:
CAPITAL ONE received my tender of payment on an account, kept it ( theft and fraud ), didn't credit my account, closed all 3 of my capital one accounts, added late charges and reported incorrect balances on my consumer report. CAPITAL ONE dishonored a lawful tender of payment.

CAPITAL ONE is in violation of 15 U.S.C 1691c ( adverse action against a consumer )., 15 USC1691- Adverse Action and discrimination against me, 15USC1681 ( S ) ( 2 ) - Willfully reporting inaccurate information to a consumer reporting agency.

Sub-issue: Billing problem

Complaint:
Porsche Financial has been a nightmare of a company to deal with the entire term of the lease as i have had constant issues with their website and making payments as the site would either say down for maintenance or just simply not even working. Along with countless attempts to reach a representative to speak to, until about 2 months ago they provided a number that would forward you to a spam call that would never patch me to a rep. I finally did get a hold of someone only after filling other complaints through cfpb where i was provided anther form of contact that is not listed on the payment site. Now I'm receiving additional fees in addition to my monthly payment and they are reporting that my overall lease amount as hiring resulting in my score dropping 20 points!

Complaint:
1. We are an XXXX XXXX XXXX family with an active lease with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Although the lease terminates XX/XX/2020 and we physically have the vehicle, XXXX still has been erroneously reporting to our credit bureaus in the notes line that we terminated our lease early. XXXX has been reporting this error for more than 6 months! We have requested that they correct our status numerous times in writing as well as over the phone to no avail. We keep disputing XXXX 's erroneous reporting directly to all 3 credit bureaus on both of our accounts but XXXX has not/will not correct their error! I am a veteran and my husband is XXXX. We've requested relief under the sailors and soldiers credit relief but they have not honored that at all. 

This has adversely affected our credit and ability to secure a new loan for our replacement vehicle. It is also a source of strife within our marriage ; placing undue stress on us during this difficult XXXX. 

2. Adding insult to injury, XXXX XXXX XXXX has added additional payments, charges and fees to our account in what appears to be an attempt to coerce us into paying more than we owe as well as purchasing a new vehicle from them. They have offered to waive mileage overages and fees if we purchase a new vehicle from one of their dealerships. We are set to turn in our leased mini-van XX/XX/XXXX but without assistance fear that we may continue to fall prey to their predatory practices. Please help us.

Complaint:
This is the second time that I have had to do a police report because the credit bureaus keep allowing someone to open accounts in my name. I had my car stolen with all my personal info in it about 4 years ago and ever since then someone keeps doing this. I mailed everything the credit bureau asked me to mail to them as proof and they only took off one or two of the accounts not all of them. Also two of my credit cards are showing as more than 30 days late and they were not. I sent in receipts and my bank statement as proof they were paid on time and they are still showing late on my reports.
