Company: AFNI INC.
State: NY
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Auto
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint:
The debt collector has repeatedly called and sent messages. i have responded in writing on five separate occasions. the collector alleges that i have a debt in excess of a {$1000.00} for subrogation of an insurance claim from an auto incident that occurred in XX/XX/XXXX in XXXX XXXX. There was an incident but the police determined that there was no liability and that they could not assign fault and clearly stated that each insurance company should pay the damage ( mine was a rented car and XXXX XXXX covered the damage to my car ). neither the police nor any court made a determination of liability but Afni insisted that XXXX ( the other persons insurance company ) determined I was liable. They do not respond to my written explanations and after researching them, I have learned that they have often destroyed people 's credit ratings based on circumstances such as these. On the phone, they repeatedly state I am liable but I am unclear on how legally a company is able to unilaterally ascertain liability and hire a credit agency to harass a person.

Opt for regular bank transfer which takes 3-5 days. 3 go to atm and take the money off my venmo account via their debit card. When i called them i had told them i was just at the atm and it wouldnt let me get money out. So i was transfered to someone and she said ok its fixed you can get money from the atm. Well i went again to try and it still wasnt fixed! I called back only to have them tell me they couldnt do anythinf about it, i asked when will i be able to access my money XXXX a supervisor said, " I dont know! '' This is totally unacceptable.

Company: Carter-Young, Inc.
State: NC
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Mortgage
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint:
This complaint is in regards to my experience with this company in attempt to collect a debt. I resided with a company in XX/XX/XXXX which went under the name of XXXX XXXX owned by a separate company & within months of signing my lease the company was bought out and named XXXX XXXX. Upon leaving my lease one month early, I was expecting to a " breaking lease fee '' & my last month 's rent, which was the month I did not pay ( XX/XX/XXXX ). After leaving the complex there was NO FORM OF CONTACT, simply because none of the contact information on file was correct. I had no knowledge of all the charges the company has built up and placed on my account. XX/XX/XXXX I was applying for new apartments and kept getting denied for this misunderstanding which has now accumulated to my credit. After several attempts to contact the company and set up some arrangement I have took it upon myself to dispute the charges since I had no knowledge of it. I have called and been disrespected numerous time I have be researching where to contact, now I am here hoping to get some help from someone. I wrote a letter explaining how I was never notified of any charges, not even by e-mail and that was the only correct form of contact information. I have never received any notice in writing from this company that they were attempting to collect a debt. I have never received a phone call from this company that they were attempting to collect a debt. I did not give them my current address and - - did not attempt to verify my mailing address, email address or telephone number. I am really fed up with this company and even willing to solve the issue IF my dispute is denied, I am simply out of options and hoping to find a pointing finger here. The company ( XXXX ) was so unorganized and nonchalant that it would be modest to think that their collections company would have any more class and respect. I am hoping at the end of this and with the dispute and this additional complaint that I will soon have this issue resolved and this company name off of my credit. If anyone can provide me with the proper address I should send my letter to, a name of someone I could speak to in regards to solving this matter or any little information that I can use to solve this issue I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you and steer clear of CARTER YOUNG.

State: GA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
XX/XX/2022 In XXXX of 2022 I applied for credit with XXXX XXXX. I was denied credit and on XX/XX/202 I asked them to reconsider because of Equifaxs well known reporting problems. 

It appears that XXXX XXXX ran my credit without my permission on XX/XX/2022 and I did not give them permission to run my credit. 

Over the past 40 days +, I have filed several complaints with XXXX XXXX and Equifax with no resolution. 

The original CFPB complaint # XXXX was an attempt to correct the record. I told XXXX that they had run my credit a second time within their 30-day grace period. This grace period was explained by XXXX that they do not run credit twice within a 30-day window where it applied to the original inquiry. I told the XXXX executive that my credit was in fact run a second time in the 30-day window. XXXX told me that it did not show on their files and told me that I should question Equifax and the 2 would resolve it. A copy of my Equifax inquiry record is attached. 

After I submitted complaints to Equifax over 5 times in the past month ; with no resolution, I am coming back to CFPB to resolve this complaint. I called XXXX and got nowhere. It seems that XXXX XXXX and Equifax are incapable of resolving this. 

I have attached some of the responses that I got from Equifax in the hope that when you share this with them, that they will get it. 

Additionally, complaints that I have filed against Equifax are taking 30+ days and still have not been resolved. 

Herein, I list the complaints related to XXXX XXXX and Equifax : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Perhaps, this time it will get resolved. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: GA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint:
I am currently in good standing and paying my loans back at the rate of {$99.00} per month. The problem is that the Department of Education through FedLoan Servicing have disregarded 17 years of payments that I the Department of Education received. Let me explain ; my student loans defaulted about 20 years ago when the Department of Education defaulted me without notice and without serving me with a complaint. Their excuse was that they could locate me but that is inaccurate as each time that I moved, I filed a change of address with the United States Postal Service. Be that as it may, my loans defaulted and I entered into a payment arrangement with the XXXX XXXX XXXX, a collection agent for the Department of Education, and {$170.00} per month was taken out of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX checking accounts for over 16 years. In addition, my federal and state income taxes were intercepted for 18 years as well. In spite of these monies having been taken from me for over 18 years, my student loan account has not been credited with the amount being applied to my student loan debt. This has forced me to have to be subjected to unreasonable interest rates on a higher loan amount, with loan payments due to escalate to {$1700.00} starting in XX/XX/2017 which will bankrupt my family all because the Department of Education made a decision to disregard my consumer and civil rights by arbitrarily disregarding my 18 years of student loan payments and refusing to rehabilitating my student loans and never deducting my student loan repayment for the program that I signed up for in the XXXX XXXX. In light of the department of education 's disregard of my civil rights, I request for these loans to be discharged. In addition, I would like to have my account credited for the tens of thousands of payments that have made to date. If necessary, I would like to request a hearing before a federal court of competent jurisdiction to address this grievous injustice if my grievance can not be resolved..

Complaint:
Trojan Professional Services is a collection agency which I hold no contract with nor have received services from, however, they are reporting a collection account against my SSN in the amount of {$1900.00} with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX credit reporting agencies. I requested verification of debt from each credit bureau, as well as Trojan Professional Services via a third party company. However, I have not received adequate proof. Considering this business does not have a contract with me for goods or services they have provided, nor have they provided adequate proof, I am not obligated to pay the alleged debt. They have never sent me a notice of the account information, nor have they validated/verified the debt before placing it on my credit report.
