Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information is missing that should be on the report

Complaint:
on XX/XX/2017 I disputed the balance on 2 of the 3 XXXX XXXX credit cards I have because I paid the accounts off so I wanted to see the XXXX balance on my credit report with trans union. Instead of correcting the balance trans union removed the 2 credit cards from my report they had been on my report for over a year and a half. I called XXXX XXXX several times they verified the information is being sent to trans union with my social security number. Trans Union states they wont add it back to my report because I am only an authorized user, I stated that its been on my report for the last year and a half and they have my social security number if something happens to my husband who do you think they will contact for payment?, me. Trans Union is refusing to add it back. I want the 2 XXXX XXXX accounts added back to my trans union report.

Complaint:
You have listed incorrect accounts that should not be reflecting on my credit report at all. Not only is this really unfair for me, but also very troublesome, as I have never committed or made any of the things you're claiming I did. Investigate these accounts or I will see to it that I will pursue legal actions.

Company: United Collection Bureau, Inc.
State: AZ
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
I have had my phone number for 15 years and only my wife and I pay for this. Neither my wife nor I have anything to do with the debt. I have an adult family member with the same last name who is XXXX and XXXX kept dinging them {$40.00} per month even though full bill and interest was all paid. This complaint is not about that as that is the family member 's issue. The account was sent to collections at United Collection Bureau. The total amount of ~ {$400.00} for this family member was sent to them on the XX/XX/XXXX of the month saying it was the XXXX or XXXX. Then they offered pay terms if delivered back and received by the XXXX of the month. It's a bit hard to do that when they get it then. Again, that is not the issue. The next month, in XXXX, the family member ( not my wife or I ) got it on the XXXX or XXXX for payment on the XXXX. They said you could go online to pay. This family member does not have the money so I went online to pay for it. Options were put in a bank account number ( not likely given XXXX XXXX reputation ) or pay with a credit card. I entered in my credit card information ( and again, am not associated or a cosigner for the original debt ). It wanted my phone number so I refused. It would not go through. So, I begrudgingly put in my phone number, but it was my XXXX number which very few people have. I pressed pay again and it refused. The Collection agency called within a week on that number but wouldn't talk to me but the family member. The family member called back and they said they don't take credit card payments ( then why do they offer it ). 
The complaint I have is that they took my phone number and put it in their system when the phone number said it was only needed for processing a payment. This is false representation. I then received at least 3 phone calls ( XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/20 ) from XXXX  even though they knew after the first one I was not the party whom collection happened. My phone number in question has been registered on the do not call registry. Thus, this is a violation as I have no business with them ( since they refused payment ) and the number is on that list. I would like full penalty payments to apply. Misrepresentation of collection of data and violation by calling a number on the XXXX list when there is no debt by me or my wife ( the owner 's of the phone number ).

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:
On ( XX/XX/2022 ) 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. feel like i'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) it is plainly stated that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from 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 Equifax data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: Pendrick Capital Partners Holding, LLC
State: FL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Sometime around XX/XX/XXXX, I understand that Pendrick Capital Partners purchased an account from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The amount of the debt was supposedly {$870.00}. Since that time, they have farmed out collection of it to a half-dozen different debt collectors. I have explained on multiple occasions to their hired agents that I had insurance which should have covered the entire amount due to the ER. Then, around XX/XX/XXXX, Pendrick hired a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX in Pennsylvania to try to once again collect the {$870.00} it claims ( wrongly ) is owed. I looked up XXXX with the Florida Office of Financial Regulation and quickly saw that XXXX is not licensed to collect debt in Florida, as state law requires. How is it that I, as a single consumer, can quickly check into this and see that this debt collector has no legal ability to collect debt in Florida, yet a company as large as Pendrick does n't bother to do so? Take a look at the Florida consumer collection agency license. It reads in large capital letters that was REVOKED. This means nothing? So besides a debt which has been disputed and shuffled around to a half-dozen different collection agencies, Pendrick Capital has hired an unlicensed company to collect on a debt that should n't exist. This is all very fishy.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
I continue to seek an equitable solution from my lender, XXXX XXXX to resume making mortgage payments. The California Homeowner 's Bill of Rights states that a homeowner has a right to know who their lender is, and to be able to make contact with them. The recorded message at XXXX XXXX XXXX states, " Hello, if you are calling because the owner of your loan, please listen to the following message. The servicer of your loan is required to provide you with this telephone number under new regulations. The servicer of your loan was given the authority by the owner of the loan to make all decisions concerning the terms of you loan. The servicer is the only party who can make these decisions including whether to modify your loan, and you should contact them if you have not done so already. If you are in contact with your servicer, please continue to seek guidance from them .... '' The servicer of the loan, Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing, continues to say that XXXX XXXX makes all the decisions. In Shellpoint 's literature under the title of " Need Mortgage Help, '' it states " Our mission is simple : We 'll do everything we can do to keep you in your home. Our philosophy is : let 's work together to find the right solution that works for you. '' Among the loss mitigation options are 1. an interest only loan with a balloon, 2. missed payments and penalties put on the back end, 3. Forbearance, 4. Loan Modification, among other options. A recent  conversation with them revealed that they do not offer any of those except for a modification or short sale. The modification available reduces the mortgage by a few hundred dollars. Given this, I retained the services of XXXX XXXX, an attorney at XXXX XXXX to assist me in communicating with the owner of the loan. I will refer back to XXXX. A previous CFPB complaint I filed revealed this : " ... the servicer informed you that the investor of the loan ( is ) The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as Trustee on behalf of XXXX, XXXX, Alternative Loan XXXX. Please note that the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is the trustee, an independent party responsible for administering the trust for the benefit of investors. The trustee is the owner of the mortgage solely for the benefit of the investors, who are the true beneficial owners of the mortgage. '' The XXXX has never responded to XXXX XXXX or to me. Shellpoint did respond to XXXX XXXX 's letter by stating that ( in effect ) the guidelines for my loan or modifications thereof, are " the guidelines set forth by the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau. ''

Complaint:
Equifax mishandled my information which has led to a breach that puts myself and millions of others at potential risk. I am extremely disappointed with how Equifax has handled reporting this breach. Very little was done to notify the public for nearly a month after the breach was detected. I received no email, letter, or phone call and instead had to discover it via social media. 
Going forward Equifax should be required to monitor every account and notify victims if any fraud occurs. Credit fraud protection should be mandatory for every account, not an option for us to have deal with.

Complaint:
I received another call today including a previous call that I reported from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX p.m. On this phone call I was informed that this person was calling to work our an arrangement on a debt. I informed him that he never mentioned it was an effort to collect a debt and proceeded to give personal information without notifying that it was an attempt to collect a debt which should be done on every phone call because he does not know if he is even speaking to the correct person when the call is answered. He said he did on the first call when he called me on XX/XX/XXXX which I do not remember. A XX/XX/XXXX phone call does not verify he is talking to the correct person on XX/XX/XXXX without verification. I informed him that he said my own personal information to me without having me verify which seems like a scam to me. On this phone call I expressed how I did not agree with the collection practices and how I felt it was a violation of the Fair Debt/Credit Practices. The gentleman became irate and expressed that this company paid off my debt with My Pay Day Loan and that I owe them in return, but never mentioned the company name. I have never received any information stating that this happened nor is it listed on my credit report. If the debt has been paid, then why am I being contacted? The gentleman also expressed that they would not accept any payments from me and would be reporting it to have my wages garnished. I called the # back to find out the name of the company that was handling the debt for My Pay Day Loan, but the gentleman hung up on me once he realized I knew it was a scam.
