Company: The Regional Adjustment Bureau, Incorporated
State: NY
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)
Issue: Improper contact or sharing of info
Sub-issue: Contacted employer after asked not to

Complaint:
The Regional Adjustment Bureau, out of XXXX, TN has apparently taken over a debt that is in dispute. In an attempt to collect on this bill, they have called me, my employer, my adult son, and who knows who else. I have asked them to stop. I told the collections agent that I am disputing the debt. He continues to harass and try various methods to collect. He told me that I HAD to talk to him, that I had to DEAL with it. I do n't even know what the charges are supposed to be for. I believe that it is from a XXXX account that I cancelled and XXXX continued to bill. I requested multiple times to have them send an explanation for the debt, so I could verify and document what it was for, but I have yet to receive it. I have disputed it on my credit report. I have 100 % on time payment record. There is no call for this kind of action. I would like it to stop.

Sub-product: Medical
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
I had an outstanding balance of {$300.00} due to XXXX XXXX that I was not aware thinking insurance had paid for it. Since I was not aware of this balance, it eventually went to IC System collection. When they called for the very first time, I was informed they were trying to collect a bill for {$400.00}. I told them I was not aware of it and they followed up by providing the statement from XXXX XXXX for {$300.00} plus a XXXX collection fee. I informed them it was unfair to charge me a 35 % collection fee as I was not aware it and it very excessive. 
I told them I would pay the due amount or at least reduce the fee to a honest amount. 
They would not here it and told me I had to pay full amount or destroy my credit. Which they did the following month byt reporting a collection item on all XXXX credit bureaus. 
I am still willing to pay the correct due amount and hoping the negative information be removed from my credit report.

Company: Flagstar Bank, N.A.
State: GA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern : I am having issues with Flagstar trying to maintain my home ownership after divorce. Per the divorce decree, my ex-spouse must be relinquished from all financial liability of home ownership of said property. 
I have requested through multiple formal submissions to FlagStar Bank, mortgage servicer for XXXX, to assist in maintaining my home ownership - beginning XX/XX/XXXX ; with a follow-up request occurring XX/XX/XXXX ; and most recently, I have sent a third request XX/XX/XXXX. 
Throughout these past months, I have not only been met with resistance from FlagStar, but I have even had the FlagStar representative dictate to me I should " Sell my home ; downsize ; and get something more affordable. '' My sister was on the phone and witnessed this statement. I find this comment deplorable and offensive. After much thought and research, I am confident neither the CFPB or Fannie Mae would find those words acceptable. As a result and in addition to submitting to FlagStar, because of all previous denials ; lack of responsiveness ; refusal to find the " right '' solution and/or provide possible options ; and offensive words, I am also submitting this mortgage complaint to the CFPB for support and guidance to navigate the mortgage process and help me keep my home. 
I absolutely want to maintain full ownership of my primary residence. I am established in the community as a graduate of XXXX university ; XXXX ; and my family lives in the same subdivision. 
Please assist me. 
Thank you.

Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint:
A garnishment was initiated for an unspecified debt. I never have received a notice to court to dispute or arrange payment. I have never received any phone call or message from the debt collector to discuss this with me in any way. The paper work I receive comes to me XXXX week after each wage garnishment is initiated, and contains no notary seal. They send a letter to my employer and tell him to begin taking money, and only after the XXXX deduction, I receive a letter telling me they are deducting money. I have looked at the paperwork my employer received and there is no notary seal or court seal. I have never received a court document of any kind saying that this was going to court in the XXXX place, but the letters I receive and the letters sent to my employer, say this has already went to court and I lost the case? My employer wage garnishment letter has no court seal or notary seal on it either. How do i know this is legit? The letters my employer received do n't even include his last name or title on the paperwork. These papers could have been printed off of any home computer by anyone, as there is no official raised stamp or raised seal of any kind on anything. The only debt I can think of is an unpaid medical loan almost XXXX years ago. This company started sending these letters to my employer to garnish my wages for " a debt '' never saying what debt about XXXX years ago. The attached copies of the form letters are the most recent I received ... and that was XXXX week after the deduction was made from my paychecks.

Complaint:
I received a notice due to a negative item on my credit report. I also recieved a bill from a debt-collecting agency ( CPA ) that stated I owed a bill for the amount of {$1500.00}. This was from XXXX which stated that I opened an account on XXXX XXXX in XXXX in 2014 at which I did not live. When I contacted XXXX they stated several times that my information had been purged out of the system but that the account had been opened with a passport by a woman. This was evidently not me or my account. No contact information for any managers or any persons that could address the situation was given by any of the employees at XXXX. The only way to get through is to call the automated system and explain your way through a new person every time. After being told I would be called back and not receiving any calls I have become very frustrated especially when I have found this on my credit report. Also in order to clear the matter I was told I needed a police report. The police officer told me I needed an affidavit from XXXX in order to file the report but I can not obtain that from XXXX nor can I contact anyone from the company to help me.
