Complaint:
XXXX XXXX called my father and my sister and my work phone number stating that charges are being filed against me in XXXX XXXX by XXXX XXXX XXXX unless I call to pay today. I have not received a debt validation letter, no one has called my personal phone number, and I do NOT provide third party phone numbers to any one. I have no idea who this is or why they are calling but it is humiliating to me and very distressing to my family members and coworkers who believe this to be true and are worried I am going to jail.

Complaint:
Received robotic phone call message regarding a civil lawsuit being issued and papers to be served at employment address or home if I did not respond within 12 hours of receiving the message. Did not leave a company name or creditor name only that I had some time to call them back and make payment arrangements. Mainly threats about litigation and jail time even though they say 'civil ' at the beginning of the message. I called the number, a woman said they were " XXXX XXXX ''. They buy OLD debt and this was supposedly a debt from 2009 from a XXXX XXXX loan paid to XXXX XXXX Bank. She tried to be very friendly and said wow this is a really old account. I asked her for confirmation of the debt and she said, this was the XXXX level of collection and I had been sent information many times regarding this debt. She said, I see you are on social security which is not true nor have I had a bank account at XXXX XXXX XXXX. She said I needed to make a statement and she needed to record it. I told her no, she needed to confirm her true identity as a collection agency with her license and send me written proof of what she was trying to collect. She said I had already received that so I said then you are not legitimate with the FTC and I am not sending you any money or making a statement. The phone numbers used are XXXX and XXXX.

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:
I have my Home mortgage with Flagstar Bank which has been paid automatically via my personal account ( XXXX XXXX ). This was arranged through the Flagstar bank 's website. Back in XX/XX/2021, XXXX was bought out by another Bank, XXXX. Unfortunately, for month of XXXX, the amount was not drafted automatically by Flagstar bank since my personal account now was changed to XXXX XXXX. I have been very busy as a physician working in the hospital and treating XXXX infected patients almost every day over the last XXXX years where I contracted the virus and suffered very severely. I had peace of mind that the loan is on Auto-pay and there must not be any issues with the monthly payments. Apparently, Flagstar Bank has a WRONG CONTACT NUMBER on my file. They claimed that I have been contacted via that WRONG NUMBER and a message was left for me. The bank admitted that the phone number was wrong after all. Accordingly, after the payment was delayed for more than XXXX days, I was reported to CREDIT BUREAU! Unfortunately, I noticed their malicious action when I was informed about my dropped XXXX XXXX. Instantly I called Flagstar Bank while I was in the hospital, I informed them about the error and the balance was paid instantly over the phone. I was informed that I have to file a complaint to their " Credit Report Department '' to dispute the report, which did. After multiple attempts, based on their own response, without even mentioning any words about the " XXXX Cause of the Error '', they responded as, '' payment was delayed and report was appropriate ''. I am just shocked and surprised how insensitive, irresponsible and apathic a financial institute can be??!! I reported Flagstar Bank to XXXX and CFPB an I strongly believe the bank 's action is inappropriate and unnecessary. I hope their Credit Report Department review the case properly, before I dispute their unjust action through a legal complaint.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint:
I took out a loan for about {$70000.00} to finance XXXX pieces of XXXX for my XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX with a 7-month grace period. The funds were not released until XX/XX/XXXX. The XXXX failed in XX/XX/XXXX, and I contacted Wells Fargo Equipment Finance to make an offer to settle with no response. They contacted me about a week later to find out how to pick up the equipment, and no follow up calls were made. 
In XX/XX/XXXX, WFEF contacted me via email to tell me I owed them {$100000.00}, and that I was severely delinquent in the loan ( still under the grace period ) and repeatedly told me I made " XXXX '' payments ( the first payment could n't possibly be due until XX/XX/XXXX, and possibly as late as XX/XX/XXXX ). They calculated the {$100000.00} based on all the payments I would have made over the 5 1/2 years of the loan, including the interest for 5 1/2 years. 
1. They intentionally misrepresented the amount currently due in order to intimidate me and possibly try to push a settlement. 
2. They intentionally misrepresented the delinquency status of my account ( not delinquent at all, referred to as " severely past due '' ). 
3. Not sure if this is just semantics, but they referred to the loan as a lease. It was not a lease, it was a purchase agreement they financed.

Company: IMMEDIATE RECOVERY GROUP, INC
State: MI
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Federal student loan
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint:
The agency, Immediate Credit Recovery Inc, stated over the phone on XXXX XXXX, that they had tried to contact me at an address I moved from in XXXX 2013. I only discovered there was a court decision when I saw that they had taken {$160.00} out of my XXXX SSI on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I have called and also emailed them. I was referred to their " XXXX department '' once the original representative, a XXXX XXXX, discovered I was on XXXX with the judgement that I was unable to work. But their XXXX department has not returned my calls and I 've been calling for XXXX week now. 

I have asked to see the court order, and the original debt, as I was under the impression that when XXXX took money from my court ordered back pay, my entire student loan debt was paid. I spoke to collectors prior to my XXXX award, at which time I had been XXXX homeless for about 6 years, so I did not refuse to pay the debt, I honestly had nothing to pay the debt with. This is a fact that another credit agency took the time to verify, so I do n't understand why this agency could not do the same. 

I have tried to tell the credit agency that with my current rent, after they take the {$160.00}, it leaves me only {$17.00} for the month. I can not easily find cheap housing, as I have been denied housing without a co-signer, because, I have been told, my monthly SSI payments of {$1000.00} are not enough for me to rent an apartment by myself. I currently have to rent month to month. 

I would appreciate at the very least to have the paperwork in my hands, for my records, to settle my debts once and for all. I do not understand why the agency could not find me at my present address in XXXX Michigan : I have lived here for over 2 years now, and other agencies have found me, such as the California XXXX XXXX. Also, they found my bank account information, which is a different bank than the one I used in XXXX XXXX. 

This is causing me enormous XXXX, which I understand is not easy for people just doing their job of debt collection to sympathize with. But I have little and sporadic family or social support here in Michigan, I am quite isolated and I feel helpless at this point. I am trying to find cheaper housing but until then, I do not know how to live on {$17.00} a month. 

Thank you for your time and consideration,

I wa contacted regarding a credit card debt from 2011 by Preimum Recievables out of Huntington XXXX, California. I was told I was contacted by mail and never recieved this information. They contacted my work and my cell phone saying they were going to serve civil matter paperwork. I insisted I resolved this out of court and requested a validation of debt. They said they were not going to do that by law because they did n't have to after 30 days of contacting me. They sent me a letter saying what was owed beforehand via e-mail. After recieving that is when I asked for validation. He started argueing with me and said he would see me in court and hung up.

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: NH
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
Over five years ago, I opened a " XXXX Checking '' account with Citizens. The account encouraged electronic transactions so, when XXXX were processed, the monthly {$4.00} fee would be waived. All statements would be electronic with email notification. This was perfect for me. I used my work email address for these notices and had a good relationship with the bank. 
In XXXX, I lost my job and my major source of income. My direct deposit days were over and I ceased using the account. 
In XXXX, my XXXX chose to open an account with Citizens, and the teller asked if I had an account ; I told her that I had one years ago but had closed it. She made no comments and continued with opening our XXXX XXXX account. 
I guess I had never closed the account as I thought I had in XXXX - because I received a notice in the mail in XXXX XXXX stating that my account had over {$500.00} in it, that it would be closed due to inactivity, and the funds would be turned over to the state of New Hampshire. I signed the form stating not to close the account and then called the bank to find out what was going on. 
The person I spoke with at Citizens ' call center number was quite helpful. It turns out that a small deposit was made monthly by my former employer to the Citizens account in their error, which was supposed to be sent to a different savings account instead. I had no idea that this deposit was going to Citizens. Despite the fact that my email address had been invalid for many months and likely generated a bounce back for every single communication that Citizens bank sent, I did n't receive postal mail or even a courtesy phone call to inform me of this - ever. Even when the deposits stopped, I was charged fees. And somehow, along the way, I was being charged {$9.00} monthly fee instead of the {$4.00} - a 100 % increase. Not only did I receive no notices via mail or otherwise, but also no notice of the fee change. This fee was deducted for not months but years, and put a significant drain on any money that had been saved. The amount of money taken in fees is comparable to what many people earn in a week. 
A few days later, I visited Citizens branch in downtown XXXX NH to discuss the fees and procedures in person. The account representative was not friendly and placed blame squarely on me. She did not understand my situation and I felt that she was less than helpful. I did leave her with my phone number - and received no call back. A few days later, after no information, I logged in to the electronic banking. There were XXXX fee refunds, and a new fee charge. Oh, and your branch still never contacted me. I came in person to speak with the same representative, waited for almost 30 minutes with no representative to help. Being that I was upset and also burning up my lunch break, I closed the account at the teller line.
