Sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Complaint:
Creditor Credence RM reported a derogatory remark on my credit report randomly without proper notification of the debt. I had absolutely no idea the debt even existed when the company reported it. The derogatory remark hurt my credit score in a major way. I was not properly notified about the debt. Its such a small amount, I would have paid it if I were made aware. I contacted the company about not being properly notified and if they could remove it from my credit report and they said No. I was willing to pay the debt off, but I would like it removed from my report and the company refused. They could not prove to me their attempts notify me, but still refused to remove it from my report. The creditor is Credence RM and it was placed on my report on XX/XX/2020.

Complaint:
I have made disputes to XXXX  to delete medical collection accounts that are displaying medical information in the original creditor name on the credit reports where the data furnishers refused to protect my private medical information. My private medical information has been compromised. The law under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, specifically the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act Section 412 ( amendment to FCRA ) indicates that this information should be protected. Before all the disputes I had a 3rd party access my credit report and they started reading me medical collections and I was hurt by this and asked them to stop as it reminded me of the bad medical situations. Additionally, I felt hurt that 3rd parties could see  this. This brought me to research why it's legal for this to be on the report in this way. Turns out that it isn't legal per the above mentioned laws. I have had no cooperation from the collection agencies and made multiple disputes with XXXX, including an XX/XX/XXXX dispute through the CFPB about XXXX not exercising oversight over the collection agencies regarding protecting medical information. The data furnishers ( collection agencies ) have refused to protect my private medical information and have compromised my medical information. The medial collection accounts are currently as of the day of this report, displaying what should be protected medical information, therefore are continuing to compromise my medical information per the above mentioned laws and refuse after repeated disputes to correct this alleged illegality. Previously a dispute was made through the CFPB on XX/XX/XXXX. These collection agencies ( data furnishers ) received a copy of that CFPB report via the XXXX XX/XX/XXXX dispute investigation. XXXX confirmed to me that the CFPB report was attached to the dispute that sent to each data furnisher.  Sadly, they responded to XXXX by only verifying the status and balance and did not respond at all to the issue of medical privacy that was very detailed in my CFPB report. I have spoken to collection agencies on the phone and was disrespected and was given the impression that all that mattered was what they say I owe and otherwise they seem to have indicated that nothing else matters, including the privacy of my medical information.

Company: First Associates Loan Servicing LLC
State: NC
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Private student loan debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
After graduating from XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I was certain the only debt I had were from the federal loans taken out on my behalf to go to school. Over a year later, I received a bill from PEAKS Student Loans indicating I owed north  of {$24000.00} in private student loans. I never heard of this company until then, and only after they already tacked on interest and late payment fees. I specifically instructed the XXXX XXXX  to NEVER take out private loans as they are often predatory and I didn't want to deal with any private entity. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and I'm still getting harassed by this company through collection agencies regarding this bad debt and I am not responsible for it. I have a family now and my credit score is still terrible after all these years and we need to buy a home. 

I have tried working through the credit agencies showing this debt to get it removed from my report due to fraud on behalf of XXXX but PEAKS has repeatedly called it legitimate and renew pressure on me to pay this off. Working with their new collection agency, Activate Financial, they are telling me I have an address in Virginia, and I have never set foot in the state, so obviously there has been some identity theft using someone else 's information to put debt on my shoulders.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
onXX/XX/XXXX I took out a mortgage loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for the amount of {$300000.00}. I was promised a low interest rate and low monthly payments, as advertised. The lender did not fulfill its promise ; the mortgage monthly payment and interest rates were higher than promised and it only kept increasing. I defaulted on my mortgage because I could not keep up with the increasing mortgage payments and inflating interest rates. On XX/XX/XXXX, there was an assignment of mortgage filed with XXXX County Clerk 's office. The assignment of mortgage assigned the mortgage from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as a nominee for XXXX XXXX XXXX a New York Corporation to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  as trustee on behalf of holders of OPTEMAC Asset Backed Pass-Through Certificates, Series XX/XX/XXXX. The assignment of mortgage has the date of mortgage as XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$350000.00}. How is that possible when I purchased my house onXX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$300000.00}? OnXX/XX/XXXX XXXX started an action against me in the amount of {$350000.00}. How is that even possible when I had paid well over {$91000.00}. I have tried fixing the problem several time. Every time I submit a loan mod it either take a long time for them to process or I am always getting denied. I am a victim of the housing crisis and I feel that there is a fraudulent element to what is happening to my mortgage loan.

Complaint:
I was charged {$70.00} for a monthly parking service that I was no longer signed up for. I had called the company at the beginning of this month and they stated the refund would be back in at least 7 days so I did not attempt to cover the costs since they had that 7 day promise. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and no refund had been established and now my credit score is taking a dive because XXXX  XXXX XXXX corporation can not establish their funds back to my card. I paid the charge to my account just so it wasnt going to be a running balance but I am planning on buying a house soon and this parking company is compromising my livelihood and it is out of my control.

State: NM
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2018 a negative report was submitted against me by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( " XXXX '' ) [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Oklahoma XXXX ]. The report references account no. XXXX and indicates there was a charge-off of {$100.00} on that account. 

I called XXXX and spoke with a nice lady who indicated over the phone that I am not responsible for the account - she could not give me any further details, because she is not allowed to give that information to people who are not on the account. Nevertheless, some how or another, this account has been tied to me and now reflects a negative mark on my credit rating. The nice lady to dispute the negative report with XXXX. 

I could not file a dispute with XXXX. So I disputed the negative and erroneous report with XXXX. I told XXXX about the conversation with XXXX. However, the negative and erroneous report from XXXX is still, nevertheless, on my credit record. XXXX acts like it solved the problem, but clearly did not look into the matter or give it a modicum of thought. 

I sent XXXX another message regarding this situation, and got to speak with XXXX in the loan department. XXXX was very nice and explained to me what I had been told earlier, i.e., the account at issue is not my responsibility. XXXX/XXXX [ XXXX, ext. XXXX ] could not explain how the account/charge-off was filed against my credit rating as a bad report. XXXX suggested I dispute it again with XXXX. 

So, this morning I filed another dispute with XXXX. We'll see what happens, but I'm not going to hold my breath with that outfit. 

What I ask of the CFPB, and hope for, is that the erroneous report filed against my credit rating should be completely removed from my credit background/report as it may be curated by ( 1 ) XXXX, ( 2 ) XXXX, and ( 3 ) Equifax. Since XXXX admits the account/charge-off has nothing to do with me, and that I am not responsible for it, there is no reason why the report should have been filed against me in the first place, or why any reference to such a dubious and inaccurate piece of work should remain on file against me. 

I also ask the CFPB to communicate with XXXX  regarding this matter, in as much as XXXX may be of some help in getting the bogus report removed from my file ; also, perhaps the CFPB can better determine how this bogus report came about in the first place. So far, nobody seems able to explain that one. 

I am really at a loss to understand how something this sloppy and clearly wrong can be so hard to fix. The financial sector doesn't hesitate to wreck your credit if you owe them even a thin dime, but they sure as XXXX can not or will not get it together nearly as quick when it comes to fixing something as clearly libelous and wrong as what they have done to me in this case. 

CFPB, please help.

Sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2019 I woke up and found that my account was at a balance of almost zero when I should have been about {$200.00}. I then saw two unauthorized transactions posted to my account. These were ach debits to which I immediately found the form for the unauthorized debits to report them to Navy Federal Credit Union and shortly after submitting one form per a transaction called the representatives to confirm this form was received. Between now and then, I have called 20 times, been give several different stories, been very rudely spoken to, and forced to deal with an issue I did everything to resolve on my end. I was told I would have both transactions reversed within 2-3 business days of reporting the false charges to which would have been the first day on the first and today would be the 3rd and final day per their policies. Today I have not received one of the two transactions that I was told would be reversed by their policy of process. As a final attempt I called to which Im being told they cant tell me much but to call tomorrow to which I find this absolutely ridiculous. Its hard enough having low funds due to unauthorized transactions but to have to track down the people who are supposed to be fixing it is irritably unprofessionally and against their own policies. I expected both to be processed no later than today but out of no where they can not find one of the two forms I submitted? This is more than stressful and I have attempted to get a straight answer for the last 72hours with no break throughs. This facility time and time again had shown that stealing is more important than protecting finances with their customer.
