Hello, Im shocked, surprised, stressed out both physically and mentally to find this medical collection in my credit without proper notice or even allow me to contest it. Its not mine! - Don't waste my time by partially responding to this demand. Therefore, I am demanding under my consumer rights that you send me ALL the following documents to me.

Please provide me with the following : A signed and Notarized copy of the HIPPA release that allows you to access this alleged medical record What the money you say I owe is for Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable Identify the original creditor Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account Show me the you are licensed to collect in my state Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent or Agent of Service If your offices are able to provide real documentation as requested in the following Declaration, I will allow at least 15-days to investigate this information and during such time all collection activity must cease and desist. 
Also, during this validation time, if any action is taken which could be considered harmful to any of my credit reports, I will consult with my legal counsel for suit. This includes listing any information with a credit reporting agency that could be inaccurate or invalidated or verifying an account as accurate, when in fact there is no provided proof that it is accurate.

Complaint:
My mortgage loan was transferred to Selene Finance company from XXXX XXXX XXXX as of XXXX/XXXX/16. My payment history was sent to Selene Finance with my payment history showing I was current as of the day of the transfer. I received my first statement from XXXX stating that I was XXXX plus days delinquent on my mortgage. I have contacted XXXX requesting them to send a copy of my payment history to Selene and myself. XXXX acknowledged that they have sent Selene a copy of my payment history as I have done so myself. I have spoken to Selene and they say they have no record of my payment history. On XXXX XXXX 2016, I mailed a certified letter to Selene Finance complaint department a copy of my proof of payment proving that I am not delinquent and to correct my payment history, remove interest that has accrued as well as report it to the credit bureau to have the delinquencies removed from all three credit bureaus. Selene Finance has sent me a letter stating they have received my certified letter and that by law they have 30 days to respond and are investigating the matter. I have researched Selene Finance on the internet and I have discovered that Selene Finance has a negative history especially claiming that they have not received payments from clients in order to force the clients into foreclosure. Fortunately I do have bank records proving that payments have and all being paid. I do no plan to become another victim of the scams being done by Selene Finance. The XXXX currently gives Selene Finance a rating of " XXXX '' and for good reason. I am requesting that Selene correct my payment statement and to notify all XXXX credit bureaus to have this remove from my credit record as I have mentioned above.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint:
I made a purchase in XXXX and XXXX of XXXX with My XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had been enrolled in auto pay so I thought nothing of this when I did not receive a statement for the purchases. I received a call from a credit agency in XXXX of XXXX linked to XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX XXXX directly and was informed that I had been charged numerous late fees. They are claiming that I was NOT enrolled in auto pay and that I had signed up for e-statements. After settling this matter with them and coming to an agreement on the amount owed and paying the balance owed in full I have come to find out they negatively reported ( account closed for non-payment ) to Equifax and other bureaus. This has dropped my credit score from XXXX to XXXX. Not only that but after settling this with them they sent me a PAPER notification in the mail on XXXX XXXX and XXXX stating they would be taking {$250.00}. 
This is deceptive. They did not send me ANY notice in the mail about needing payment. They did not call me directly when they clearly had my phone number and address on file. They unfairly charged me off and reported me. If they can send a paper notice for a payment they can certainly try to reach me for payment before charging me exorbitant fees and effecting my credit rating. 
Also, after settling this debt with them and my account had a XXXX balance they charged me ANOTHER late fee. When I called back they agreed to return XXXX {$19.00} late fees. They said the only thing they can do is put a credit on the account. THE ACCOUNT THEY CLOSED AND REPORTED NEGATIVELY. How am I supposed to get the money back from a CLOSED account??? 
There practices are abusive toward consumers. They made no effort to contact me before negatively impacting my life. To this date I have never received paper or electronic notification that my account would be closed and negatively reported. I only discovered this after checking my own credit report. Also, none of the customer service representatives that I spoke to mentioned this either.

Company: AMERISAVE MORTGAGE CORPORATION
State: GA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
I called Amerisave Mortgage to refinance ( from FHA to Conv loan ). I was asked to pay {$500.00} upfront on my credit card and I did. I was asked for the same documents on multiple occasions, after already submitting them. I was assured as long as I turn in requested documents in a timely fashion that I would be able to close before year end. I advised the main purpose is for me to be able to have a tax break for this year. My loan officer XXXX said I would be able to since I got all the paperwork in. I was told on XX/XX/XXXX that once I receive a call from the loan processor that everyone would have signed off but one final check box from Sr.underwriter. I spoke to the processor XXXX on a few occasions and she advised that I should close on XX/XX/XXXX because they have everything. Then I was told the underwriters not responding, managers are not responding. I continue to call both the loan officer and the processor only to receive voicemail, I leave messages and no call backs. They took my {$500.00} and will not call or reply. I have multiple email chains regarding this terrible experience. 
Thank You,
