Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX
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: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
My Credit Profiles indicates XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX  and XXXX, all Debt Collection Companies, placed collections on my Credit Reports. However, I did not provide any written consent at all, not to mention the inaccuracy in the first place. I disputed through all three credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX ) and the response came back confirmed. This is impossible because I have no knowledge of these accounts. Unfortunately, I have been a victim of numerous data breaches, credit companies included. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the consumer must receive notification of debt and an opportunity to dispute the debt before being added to any credit profile I never received it because it is false. Additionally, I did not give explicit or written consent to any of the above mention companies and for that matter, neither have I have heard of nor ever conducted any business with them. Furthermore, through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, these business matters have not been resolved ; Additionally, under 15 US Code 1681b - Permissible purposes, this is to be considered as identity theft. As a result of these inaccuracies my credit score has been deeply impacted making me seem as if I am not credible. I am uncertain why these companies are attempting to collect this erroneous debt. Kindly delete the collection account from all XXXX  credit bureaus ( XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX ). 
Please remove these inaccuracies from all three credit bureaus immediately. second and third party credit reporting agencies are owned by all three credit reporting agencies. I feel this is why I am not getting any results, because they are asking themselves if I am me. This is totally unfair and illegal.

Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX XXXX I froze a joint home equity line so no additional withdrawals could be processed. XXXX XXXX XXXX a {$60000.00} advance was processed, I notified bank within 24 hours of the advance that error had occured. I provided the signed document of the freeze, made several calls, sent emails. I was told they were " diligently '' working to resolve problem and would notify me. I requested emails, did not receive, I asked for corporate office to contact me, not done. It is clear BB & T made a {$60000.00} mistake and has not provided appropriate customer service. I want the {$60000.00} removed from the home equity line. BB & T needs to not hold me responsible for their mistake, investigation into how they failed to freeze the account ( again I have provided them with THEIR form that I signed at THEIR bank ) is not my issue, I am not concerned with BB & T 'S personnel or computer errors or why it occured. BB & T made an error, that has not been corrected nor provided me with appropriate customer service since informing them of the error.

Complaint:
Hello, My original mortgage was with XXXX, who sold my mortgage to SPS. I am behind with my mortgage, but made a payment today. I am not in foreclosure and have been negotiating with them since XXXX XXXX on a modification. However, they are not modifying, just an endless loop of re-sending info.

I called SPS today, and they confirmed receipt of the payment request, but said they had not presented it to my bank yet. As tomorrow is an important deadline at which they will send my file to an attorney for procedures if a payment was not made, I am so worried that they are illegally trying to foreclose. Here is what I found online : XXXX and XXXX Their history is terrible and they have been playing games since XXXX. What they are doing is scandalous. Please help!!!

Company: ASSOCIATED BANC-CORP
State: IL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint:
I applied for a mortgage with Associated Bank out of XXXX XXXX, WI. I authorized them to pull credit on my XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. After receiving a pre-approval, I made an offer on a house. After I made the offer and turned in more paperwork for them, they came back with a debt to income ratio that did n't work for them. They had me pay off my car for $ XXXX and a credit card for $ XXXX which I did to get the debt to income in line. Also, I was going to put 25 % down ( over $ 90K ) and my only debt was then a cell phone bill and an insurance payment. They once again told me that my debt to income ratio did n't work for them and they needed my wife to be on the loan. So they ran her credit and had her do the required paperwork only to back out of the deal completely on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX due to some credit issues related to an old business she owned. Since then all credit issues have been resolved through a credit correction agency and we were approved for a mortgage with another bank. The reason for the complaint is that on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Associated Bank pulled credit on us again without authorization. We were notified of this because we were in underwriting with the other bank and they needed a letter of explanation stating why we were applying for credit. I contacted our mortgage representative, XXXX XXXX, at Associated Bank several times without getting a valid reason for the credit pull 9 days after they send us a letter telling us they could no longer help us obtain a mortgage. Twice I requested that they send me a letter ( on bank letterhead ) stating that the report was pulled in error and that no credit was extended, a brief apology and that they would be contacting the credit bureaus to have the inquiry removed. I have received no such letter as of today XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Based on my experience, Associated Bank and/or XXXX XXXX are deceptive in their intentions related to their mortgage process or their process is broken. It is possible they did n't even have the money to lend. At this point I still want my letter and feel they should be fined. Beware!

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Complaint:
Date : Thursday XX/XX/2022 Time : XXXX EST Duration : XXXX Minutes Company : XXXX. Data Number Called : XXXX Details : My phone call started with an IQ Data representative -- can't recall her name, but she was very nice and professional. She presented XXXX payment options : the first was to pay in full ( {$5800.00} ), and then they would remove the account from reporting ; the second was to pay 80 % of the debt ( {$4600.00} ) and it would show as a paid settlement. I informed her that neither of these worked for me right now due to my current financial, unfortunately, so I would just have to ride it out and see if my financial flexibility improved. She said she understood and suggested that I speak to her manager, as they might be able to present a better option. I was then connected to XXXX XXXX, who was quite rude and very aggressive. Once again, he presented the same two options : pay in full, or pay 80 %. The option I presented to them, paying about 40 % of the debt, did not work for them, so I said I understood that 'they had to do what they had to do ' -- meaning they had to stick with their offer and not accept a reduced offer. However, Mr. XXXX replied quite rudely and asked me 'do you really want me to do what I have to do? This will get ugly and cost you a lot more money when we take you to court or put a lien against your income. You just provided updated information to us about your address, income, etc ... .so now we have all the information we need to 'do what we have to do '. I told him I had about $ XXXX that I could pay today to resolve the account. He asked 'Where 'd you get that money? If you saved up that money once, I don't see why you can't save up the rest '. I flat out told him he was being rude and making grand assumptions about my financial standing. Seeing that we could not come to a resolution, we ended the call shortly after that.

Company: FORD MOTOR CREDIT CO.
State: AZ
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Vehicle loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint:
1 ) Obtained Ford auto loan - both of us with XXXX credit scores, made XXXX payments on time. 40 years of sterling credit/NOT XXXX LATE PAYMENT. 
2 ) My husband signed up for paperless, payments were made monthly online and on time. 
3 ) My husband died and I continued to use his log in and made the payments, in addition to notifying Ford Credit of my contact information and his death. 
4 ) I made the final payment on time, with a typo ( they are claiming ) for exactly {$100.00} less than the required final payment. I did not realize it was deficient until my credit score plunged by XXXX points. I immediately paid the {$100.00}. 
5 ) No notification to me ( even though they had my email and home addresses along with my cellular ) that the partial payment was " late '' as the account had been placed in the " death committee '' and I could not obtain information regarding the late payment. This was even after submitting his death certificate along with my appointment by the Court as his personal representative and my passport information. 
6 ) After hours on the telephone over a several day period to different departments, I finally convinced them that I was the person with the responsibility and right to information. They were going to send me proof of the 5 years of payments and my early submission of the final payment, even though it was deficient by an innocent error. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION FROM FORD CREDIT AFTER MY REQUEST ALMOST 2 MONTHS AGO. 
-Is the credit providing company required to send " late payment '' notification? 
-I know that Ford Credit will allow a " forgiveness '' to an unusual late payment for good credit. I could not get to them in time because they closed out the account during the time I was in the " death committee '' and before I could convince them that I had the right to work with them. They kept transferring me to the " committee '' that would not speak to me or give me any explanation.

Company: Trident Asset Management, L.L.C.
State: VA
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint:
I have XXXX XXXX as my cell phone provider. They have confirmed I have paid my account in full, timely, and they have never attempted collection or held a debt against me. For some reason, XXXX credit report services ( XXXX XXXX have a " Trident Asset Management, LLC '' as a debt collector for " XXXX, '' claiming I owe {$42.00} for " utilities, '' as an open " Collection Account. '' I attach the applicable information if this site permits it, if not I can be contacted at the provided email address and provide all documents. XXXX My phone number will not be answered, as Trident 's efforts prevent answering numbers I do not know and I silence my phone during the hours they were legally not permitted, but have, called me repeatedly XXXX. XXXX XXXX suggested this could be from their home services, but I 've never had XXXX home services, as they also confirmed. When I moved in XXXX 2014 I inquired about services but was told they use dish and my building was too old XXXX historical ) to use such intrusive installation. I informed XXXX I was not interested in their services and received no services, installation, or products whatsoever. I was not informed talking to a representative cost money, it was a XXXX number so I had no reason to think so, so I contest {$42.00} if it was incurred simply by using their potential customer inquiry phone system. As this debt does not exist, I would like to utilize my rights under the FDCPA against Trident and demand XXXX proof of debt purchase/ownership from " XXXX '' and proof of an actual debt. I demand, upon investigation proving my version of events, that my credit reports be fixed to eliminate Trident 's incompetent report pursuant the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I also utilize my rights under the FDCPA for the illegal calling, harassing, and threatening voicemails associated with collection of a non-existent debt. I request XXXX be notified of Trident 's actions, as their system does not indicate any debt and I never received any notification from them on this issue. All I can assume is Trident confused me with another consumer or is fraudulently trying to collect debts they never legally purchased from the entity they claim. I give consent for any measures necessary for the FTC and CFPB to investigate this intricately. I will pursue legal actions myself if necessary, but unlike Trident, do not see the point in threatening a lawsuit over XXXX- far less the filing fee amount in any court - when this fraudulent report or scam can be resolved by the departments competent in enforcing such matters.
