Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: SC
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Mortgage debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX XXXX  assigned my mortgage note to LOANCARE , LLC without my consent to do so. Since XX/XX/2019, LOANCARE , LLC has continued to ask for payment for an alleged debt. I am a veteran buying my first home and the mortgage company took advantage of the fact that I was unaware of their constructive fraud giving to me in a contract. That is a violation of the FDCPA [ 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ]. I have disputed this debt for by the rules of the FDCPA, TILA, UCC, and the company still chooses to provide negative statements to my credit report. Willingly and knowingly providing false and misleading information is direct violation of congress. I did not sign a contract with LOANCARE , LLC. I made no agreement with LOANCARE , LLC. My note was given to the company by way of Identity theft for the securitization on my note. This is an unauthorized use of my SSN and personal identity upon the company. I have been harrassed by LOANCARE , LLC. They have left notes on my door, claiming that I am the borrower and I need to call them. The term borrower is not defined in the FDCPA, and that is because I am the creditor. I am the one who extended my credit through the note and these companies are playing with. At one point the company had an attorney contact me claiming that I owed an alleged debt to LOANCARE , LLC. There are no attorneys. Then the communication stopped. The actions taken by this company has caused me a great deal of stress, financial burdens, and hardships. I have taken the action to bring LOANCARE , LLC in suit for their direct violation of these laws of congress [ 15 USC 78ff ( a ) and 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( 3 ) ].

Company: Prosper Marketplace, Inc.
State: MI
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX {$4700.00} was direct deposited into my checking account. And I have no idea why their payment schedule begins in XX/XX/XXXX. There 's nothing from XX/XX/XXXX when the loan was taken out until the first Payment schedule posted a year later on XX/XX/XXXX. When I go into my online account and try to download my statements it says there are no statements available and that I need to download XXXX XXXX and install it to be able to see the statements. I downloaded it and opened it and a program called XXXX XXXX installed on my hard drive and I can not uninstall it no matter how much I try. The only information given about my loan is when I click the icon that shows a percentage of how much of my loan is paid of the {$5000.00} loan that was taken out on XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX when the installment loan ends. I went over my bank statements and I shows that at one time I paid my loan twice in one month. So all 36 installment payments are up to date and paid in full with my last payment in XX/XX/XXXX of the amount of XXXX and then again on XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX. I ask why was this amount different from my usual XXXX and she said it was interest on late fees. WHAT!!! I just made two payments which the one on XX/XX/XXXXwas not suppose to be withdrawn from my checking account because I had already prescheduled for the last 3 month payments on the last Wednesday of the month. I ask in XX/XX/XXXX to have my payments scheduled to come out on the last Wednesday of the month because it was better and easier to make them at the end of the month instead of the middle.. So my payments were supposed to be scheduled to come out that way but it became a nuisance and got all mixed up because when I talked to customer service they would tell me OK your payment will come out on a certain day and we will note it down for you. But they continued almost every month calling me and saying my payments were late or they would like they did this last payment made in XX/XX/XXXX take it out twice. Once for the middle of a month and then again at the end of the month. So when they tried to get another payment for XX/XX/XXXX which I told them I didnt owe I had to stop payment on them because they did not have my permission to withdrawn money from my checkings account. I tried to remove my bank information that they had on file and they wouldnt let me remove it. So as far as Im concerned they had no right to get in my checking account. So as of XX/XX/XXXX my balance past due is XXXX with interest, plus non-sufficent funds and late fees. In which I have proof that I do not owe.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NH
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint:
Capital One reduced my credit limit from {$8000.00} to {$2000.00}. I contacted them and they said it was based on usage patterns in the past 12 or 24 months. It was because I have not been using this card enough. Not because I was using it too much or my credit rate changed for the worse or any other indication that I was a higher risk of default. This causes me problems because I have other credit cards and I try to manage my total credit usage so that I do not exceed 30 % of the total credit available to me. When they reduce my limit simply because I was not using their card, it can make my total usage pop to 50 % or more doing damage to my credit profile and score. They said there was nothing they can do. This is a bad practice that hurts consumers and users of credit products such as theirs. It is detrimental to their customers who are making an effort to improve their credit profile. It causes a downward cycle where my credit score can be lowered causing other credit cards to lower my limit, or costing me more for credit in the future.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern, Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I recently pulled my credit report and found that GM Financial reported a late payments/negative information regarding my account XXXX. 

I am requesting that this late payment ( s ) be assessed for accuracy. 

Since I have disputed information with GM Financial, I feel this is there way of retaliation to damage my credit report. 

This incorrect listing has damaged my credit score and questioned my credit worthiness to the extent that it may be concerning to my employer. It is extremely embarrassing and has adversely affected my reputation. 

For your reference, I have attached copies of the required documents that corroborate my claim. 

I returned a vehicle to GM Financial sometime in 2014, as a voluntary repossession. I received to letters from them regarding there process, which indicated if the car was sold, I would still be responsible for the negative balance. 

I do not recall receiving any documentation to when the car was sold, and how much the car was sold for. 

Please take a note of the dates and update my account status at the earliest convenience. Also forward a copy of my updated credit report to my address, stated above. 

Also, in response to the phone call/letter received *lender* on *date* I am requesting validation of this debt. In conformance to my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) Please note, this is not a refusal to pay, rather a statement that your claim is disputed and validation is demanded. ( 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) ) I do hereby request that your office provide me with complete documentation to verify that I owe the said debt and have any legal obligation to pay you. 

Please provide me with the following : 1. Agreement with the creditor that authorizes you to collect on this alleged debt 2. The agreement bearing my signature stating that I have agreed to assume the debt 3. Valid copies of the debt agreement stating the amount of the debt and interest charges 4. Proof that the Statute of Limitations has not expired XXXX. Complete payment history on this account along with an accounting of all additional charges being assessed 6. Show me that you are licensed to collect in my state ; and 7.  Your license numbers and Registered Agent If your office fails to reply to this debt validation request, I am asking that all instances related to this account must be immediately deleted and completely removed from my all 3 credit file. Moreover, all future attempts to collect on the said debt must be ceased. 

Thank You

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
I still have not seen results to an investigation into the items I believe to be inaccurate on my report. This is the second complaint I have had to make about the lack of response. My first was made on XX/XX/2020 and was accompanied by a dispute submitted directly to TransUnion, XXXX  and XXXX. The complaint numbers were XXXX XXXX TransUnion XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX  ) and XXXX ( XXXX  XXXX. While I understand that there is a pandemic which can cause delays, I have not received anything from them since my first dispute on XX/XX/2020. This is not a delay : this is negligence on the part of all 3 bureaus, enabled by the disastrous dismantling of regulation by you, the CFPB, in regard to the bureaus ' legal requirement to respond to a dispute within 30-45 days. There is no good faith effort by TransUnion, XXXX  or XXXX  to resolve anything. I am also aware that data was released showing a 550 % increase in complaints to the CFPB about this very issue compared to this time last year. All 3 bureaus must be held accountable and to the standards clearly outlined in the FCRA.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX came into an account and contract that was owned by XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, the account is placed on my credit reports. There is no warning, no letter, and how they have tied this account to my identification is a wonder they still have not explained.

I never received a letter informing me of this account because I would have easily been able to disprove it being mine. This is the lone collection on my reports and it has shot my score all the way down. XXXX XXXX has been completely reckless in it's handling of my personal reports. I have no contract to pay XXXX XXXX ANYTHING and they have no legal leg to attempt to collect as well as damage my report.

Complaint:
Equifax is falsely reporting to my credit report. They are putting a collection on my Report that is a fraudulent Account. I have sent them a fraud affidavit and a personal statement but they refuse to correct the problem. This account is also closed which I confirmed with the Collection agency. This account was removed last year because the Collection agency closed this fraudulent Account and recognized that the account was not opened under my behalf. Equifax is causing me Financial harm. I was never given any notice before I was re- placed in collections. XXXX has no problem fixing errors right away but Equifax is not the same quality.
