Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I contacted XXXX XXXX & Towne Mortgage Escrow department by E-mail on XX/XX/2018 as instructed to do by customer service. I had issues with how they calculated our monthly payment. 
The monthly payment should be XXXX they are billing {$610.00}. 
I Emailed them a copy of our 2018 homeowners policy showing the amount that they showed was paid on the statement was higher then what was due for the 2018 policy. 

They responded on XX/XX/XXXX but did not answer fully my questions. I understand that they are charging us a PMI of {$240.00} per year that we didn't know about. but there is apparently a shortage they are claiming of {$430.00} and they will not provide me a clear explaination of why a shortage exists. And I was told to contact customer service with further questions. customer service told me anything to do with Escrow I would need to contact the Escrow department. 

On XX/XX/2018 I contacted my insurance agent and she verified that they did not receive the payment of XXXX, that the Mortgage company stated they paid, instead they received what the policy amount should be {$1200.00}.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
This dispute is regarding an emergency service bill. 
Approximately XX/XX/2015 my niece received XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX. Different companies tended to her, one of which was XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I was only her emergency contact. I never consented verbally, written or otherwise to be the financial guarantor for any XXXX XXXX provided, including XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was not present when those services were rendered. As a side note, I personally got medical treatment from other hospitals because I didn't trust XXXX XXXX 's standard of care. 

I filed a XXXX complaint ( ID number XXXX ) against XXXX XXXX ( who furnishes information to the other entities including XXXX XXXX XXXX ). They sent me a letter apologizing for their error. They also sent another letter acknowledging I was wrongfully billed, that the records were updated with the correct guarantor information, and assured me none of the accounts had been reported to the creditors. 

More than likely, XXXX XXXX XXXX used this information to collect the debt from the correct party. None of the other services connected with the emergency room have contacted me after I received these letters from XXXX XXXX. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX is fraudulently using multiple debt recovery companies to collect monies they know are not owed. Their attempt with XXXX was unsuccessful after I contacted XXXX XXXX ID number XXXX ). XXXX closed the debt account in question and contacted XXXX to have it removed from my credit report. They are now using XXXX XXXX Solutions. 

Any so called evidence these companies feel they have stating I consented to this debt is fraudulent. Clearly these companies are manufacturing ways to collect and make money.

On XX/XX/2020 I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report, to this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items on my credit report it has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or i will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Complaint:
Credit reporting agencies refuse to correct unauthorized hard inquiries and keep them in your file for up to three years. They also use your own inquiry into your own credit to lower your score and use that power in a bullying fashion. The credit agencies are arms of the bank abd utilized for that purpose only. They dont work any other way around. So the consumer has no way to really fight for equity or correct a wrong. And with a federal agency which has no teeth, these agencies act with complete impunity. Further, it takes several attempts to contact these credit agencies. Their listed numbers take you down a two option menu so if youre trying to do a more complex investigation, it cuts you off. They cut you off at whim. The whole system is a scam designed to XXXX the consumer without any dignity or humanity in favor of the bank. No customer service. Just bank protection against consumer rights.
