Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
XXXX still has XXXX different listings for XXXX credit card account on my credit report. If XXXX was brought there is not supposed to have the original and a new debt listed illegally with a different amount. Also the amount is different when there is no way that I owe a different amount from XXXX credit card that was actually closed by the time of listing. I closed the account on my own which is XXXX listing. And the other says that is was closed for a higher amount of money with a derogatory label listed as well. I am having a hard time getting information and receiving action from XXXX with their reporting for my credit report in general. So I would I appreciate your assistance in this matter and I would like the duplicate removed and checked on all XXXX of the credit reporting agencies as well.

Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint:
Conns collection practices should be considered harassment. They call you the day after your payment is due. So for example if it is due on the XXXX they are calling you at XXXX on the XXXX. They call all day long and at times it is twice a hour. If need be a can show phone history. The topper was today when they called me. My payment was late I admit. It was due on XX/XX/XXXX and I scheduled it for XX/XX/XXXX which is less then 30days. The payment cleared my bank as I have proof. They then preceed to call me today at XXXX and again at XXXX requesting XXXX and XXXX payment. I spoke with a nice lady who said it was a error and she stop the calls. Less then a hour later the calls continue. At this point I was frustrated and told the lady I was done talking with them. I owe less then {$200.00}. My whole experience with them has been terrible. My furniture is terrible. The screws are falling out of the chairs and the fabric has come off the recliner. They claim the insurance i paid for does not cover my table set and the fabric chapping is not covered either. Then they offered me a extension earlier this year and then reported it against my credit. I need to know what can be done. I tried to dispute with no luck. I am so done with Conns.

Issue: Balance transfer fee

Complaint:
I had a debt that I was trying to pay off. In order to pay it off I used a balance transfer check from Capital One in order to have 0 % APR for one year. Five months later I realized that I was getting charged interest of 26 %. I called and they told me that there was some mistake and there is nothing they can do. Essentially, saying I used an expired check. However, I 'm pretty certain I did n't use an expired check. I asked for a copy but I 'm not getting one. And, they agreed that if the check was expired, it should have never been valid. I called again because it was very clear why I used a balance transfer check. Now they are refusing to return my interest of {$440.00}. They are saying there is nothing they can do.

Issue: Payoff process

Complaint:
My husband ( now ex ) put all his debt in my name including most of his student loans ( he is a doctor ), convincing me he would pay it in full. Unknown to me, he either missed payments or did not pay the full monthly amount adversely affecting my credit score. Little did I know, my husband was preparing to leave me with all his debt. This was devastating both emotionally and financially. I notified Capital One to inform them of my personal, financial hardship and asked if they could work with me. They refused, on several different occasions throughout three years. I informed them that my divorce lawyer was recommending I declare personal bankruptcy ; however, they still refused to help me repay the debt. I did not and will not declare bankruptcy ; however, Capital One has truly adversely affected my credit history ; despite my several attempts to explain my hardship. I am and have been paying them back once the credit card was ordered by the court to be my sole responsibility without my ex-husband 's need to control me. It has been three years since that court order and each payment was timely and in full. However, six payments missed still reside on my credit history. They have blatantly refused to help me in anyway, despite my several attempts. The debt was XXXX and now I am about to pay it in full with XXXX large check. Do not get a Capital One credit card, an unexpected hardship may occur and they will provide no assistance. Instead they contribute more pain, stress and grief to that hardship by their denial to assist in anyway ( even when you WANT to pay the debt back ). Capital One will watch you go through this hardship and then take their proverbial dagger and slice you at the heels. Crippling you more via your credit history!

Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint:
On XXXX/XXXX/16 XXXX cancelled my insurance policy without notifying me in any manner. In a letter dated XXXX/XXXX/16 I received a partial refund check of {$490.00}. I received this check in the mail on XXXX/XXXX/16. Therefore this was my first and only notice that the policy had been cancelled. My policy premium that I paid was {$2400.00}. I immediately advised the XXXX agent XXXX XXXX that I had n't received the remaining {$1900.00}. XXXX refused to pay this amount. They held this money and would not release it until I was " forced '' by the agent to sign a form. 

They continued to hold my premium money for a month and a half. On XXXX/XXXX/16 I finally received only a portion of my premium. The amount was {$1800.00}. I am " still '' owed {$140.00} of that premium. I do not owe them any money. They in fact owe me the remaining {$140.00}! 

I have now received a debt collection threat totalling {$49.00} from CREDIT COLLECTION SERVICES in XXXX MA. 

Based on XXXX 's cancellation I do not owe XXXX any money, they in fact still owe me the remaining {$140.00}. 

I am being harassed for this money that I do not owe and am being threatened with this going on my credit report and affecting my credit score.

Along side the company moved the dates on when it was reported and that 's illegal. Transunuon needs to stop scaming through and do something about it.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
Since XX/XX/2016 I started a short sale process on an investment home I mortgaged through Ocwen Mortgage that 's also serviced by one their subsidiaries. I started the process early because my tenant notified me she decided not to renew her lease when it expired XX/XX/2016. Two days after the property was nationally listed, I received a decent offer from a national residential investor called XXXX XXXX. Incidentally, XXXX is a well-known enterprise within mortgagee/short sale circles. I was ecstatic. Moreover, I 'm almost certain Ocwen 's legal department is aware that XXXX is an established, stable, reputable corporate enterprise that has scattered offices throughout the US. Not to create a problem for my assigned Ocwen Short Sale Negotiator ( he 's great at what he does ) but I have issue with Ocwen 's short salel department demanding original signatures by XXXX XXXX members named on their articles of association. Such a request is XXXX near impossible to get from any higher echelon members in an expansive, regionalized corporation. Would it not be more efficient for everyone if Ocwen 's legal department would request actual signatures ( as opposed to e-signatures ) on " master '' document that could be renewed on a periodic basis and distributed to their negotiators to expedite this cumbersome, stressful process? It seems reasonable. Also, each week my negotiator requests new or updated documents to further delay the sale. Because of Ocwen 's inefficiencies and through no fault of my own, my house will soon go into foreclosure despite the fact that I have a buyer! The entire experience has been insane. Please help.
