Company: Convergent Resources, Inc.
State: SC
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
My personal information was given to this 3rd party entity CONVERGENT OUTSOURCING, INC. that I do not even know or have never had any consumer transactions with them. I received written correspondence from CONVERGENT OUTSOURCING, INC. on XX/XX/2021. They are contacting me about an alleged debt that they say I owe. I have already sent written correspondence about this matter. I feel as if I have been violated which is not a good feeling. Just imagine someone taking something from you without your consent. What would you call that? How would you feel? What would you do? You would probably be doing what I am doing and more. I am so sick and tired of being taking advantage of. Especially when someone is willfully and knowingly taking advantage of me. Enough is Enough.

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:
Im submitting this complaint against XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX due to their total disregard for my consumer rights under the FCRA/FCBA/FDCPA. For several months now, I've been disputing inaccurate and unverifiable information showing up on my credit report by this company. I have requested intimate information about the alleged accounts, including a copy of an agreement with my signature on it, but I have yet to receive anything. These companies continue to electronically verify these " ghost '' accounts without providing any legally binding evidence, such as a signed contract and complete accounting of the record, as required by law. They're clearly lying and thus the reason Im asking for proof. However, these companies refuse to provide it, which is not right and is not compliant with the FCRA/FDCPA. Im absolutely fed up. My life has been in complete ruin as a result of this. It's causing enormous XXXX and financial distress, preventing me from getting approved from credit that I am rightfully entitled to, and not to mention the ample amount of time that I must take out to try and resolve this matter myself. This has brought a great deal of harm to my family as a whole as well. Ive just had enough! Please help! I hope to hear from you soon.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint:
We signed a purchase agreement XX/XX/2016, on a condo at XXXX XXXX, SC. For a few reasons, we applied for a mortgage with Bank of America. Our closing date was XXXX XXXX with a 10-day extension. We were assured that we should have no problem closing by that date. Even though the Home Services Specialist ( HSS ) who handled the application knew we were buying a beachfront condo, he did not aggressively pursue approval of the Condo Review Board until the very end of the process when that matter should have been addressed at the outset. As our closing date approached, we, our realtor, and our real estate lawyer tried to get specific answers regarding approval from the Condo Board and hence the mortgage. The HSS set XXXX different closing dates, with the final one on XXXX/XXXX/2016. The HSS would not return calls or e-mails or would promise to make calls that never came. At one point, he could not explain the condo issue to our realtor. He asked for documents which we supplied 2 or 3 times. Overall, he acted in an unprofessional fashion. Finally, on XXXX/XXXX/2016, our realtor forwarded an e-mail she received from the HSS telling her that the Condo Review Board had not approved the condo. As of XXXX/XXXX/2016, we have still not been informed verbally or in writing by the HSS or BOA that the mortgage was denied. Had the HSS and BOA been straightforward with us, we could have gone to another bank and probably closed the loan on time. We stayed in the process because the HSS gave us every indication that the mortgage ultimately would be approved. We and our realtor complained to the HSS 's supervisor only to have our phone and e-mail messages not returned. Because of the incompetence of the HSS, we nearly lost the condo.

Company: Collection Associates, Ltd.
State: WI
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
Collection Associates has XXXX accounts open in my name. The most recent XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I do owe. The prior XXXX accounts date around XXXX. They are from xrays and labs performed within my providers building. It is standard practice that you provide your insurance at the counter when you check in. Even according to the website of these services, they state they obtain the information from the hospital or doctor. The collection company will verify that I stated in every phone call that the company needed to properly submit the insurance. I had verified insurance, my other doctors from the same dates of service had done this just fine. By the time this was brought to my attention by the collection company, even if I had submit the insurance myself it would have been denied due to timely filing. The collection company has known I dispute this amount since everytime I have spoke with them, I explain the responsibility of the office and the issue. They have directed me to the providers, or even said " there is nothing we can do because that company is n't our client anymore ''. The providers say the account is in collections and there is nothing they can do. As a manager of a providers office, I know that you have a responsibility when you work with insurance or are in network with them. You also have these situations in your payment agreement. I have requested the collection company verify that the debt they are trying to collect on is collectable based on the agreement with the providers and myself. I also asked that they provide proof that they had actually obtained my insurance information as they state they do, since other providers submit these claims successfully. This has not been done. The collection company asked me to provide proof the claim was submit to my insurance or denied timely. I asked what that would show, and I was told it would show " I actually gave my information ''. I asked what proof they have when they go to the doctor that they gave them a copy of their card. The response was " well I actually do it. '' I am shocked at the level of irresponsibility and unprofessionalism. I was told initially there was nothing I could do but in my professional roles over the last few years I learned how wrong these practices are. Here is the link to the web site of XXXX of the providers I am referencing with their practices, where they even state they may have a delay and rely on the information of others, or they will contact you. By the time it was brought to my attention it was too late. I had previously thought it was processed, or being resubmit, since my other providers they get information from had no problem. XXXX

Company: PEOPLE'S UNITED BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CT
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Banking errors

Complaint:
Because I had had to close my accounts, Peoples wo n't help further : My husband and I had opened a joint checking account where he banks, People 's United Bank, when we got married. I opened a personal checking account and a savings account at People 's United Bank at the same time. ( My husband 's personal financial accounts remain active and are not part of this problem. ) I was out of work from XXXX of XX/XX/XXXXthrough XXXX of XXXX, and used up the " buffer, '' our wedding money, to make the mortgage where unemployment left off. I was hired in XXXX of XXXX, and out of work again in XXXX of XXXX. My unemployment compensation, what little it was, was directly deposited to my own account. The balance was very low because I not had time to rebuild the buffer ; but I had the direct deposit. I managed to keep a decent balance in the joint account to pay the mortgage. Last winter, I could n't balance my checkbook. I went nuts. I 'd bounced checks and could n't afford the fees.I use XXXX, the same spreadsheet layout I 've used for over ten years, and could not find my error. This has never happened to me. I was mortified. With assistance, I managed to pay the fees and keep checks from bouncing until XXXX, when my unemployment ran out. I 'd never been able to catch up from the winter error ; and bills that were falling behind fell further since I 'd lost money paying the fees ... I deposited what I could get, but did n't realize that there was an added charge : $ XXXX  monthly fees since I did n't have direct deposit. I bounced more checks. XX/XX/XXXX : I 'm not sure which account was overdrawn at the end. I closed one, and closed the other to pay the fees on the first ( with {$50.00} or so that I borrowed ). A little more than a week later, I got a call : the bank had made an error, and had a check for me to pick up. On XX/XX/XXXX, I picked up two checks totaling {$1100.00} or so. The missing money from last winter. I got to the bank a day or two later. The same morning, I 'd had to ask my husband for XXXX XXXX for the charity box at religious services. I cried when the bank manager handed me the check that evening. He walked over with me to  cash it. I closed out my savings account at that time. When I 'd calmed down, it occurred to me to ask about the bounced check fees. I have no idea how many there were. The manager said that they could not be refunded because I do n't have an account with them. WHAT? Their error was the reason I 'd had to close the accounts. I do n't know if it 's bank policy. I also do n't know if it 's legal ; I had an account when the problem occurred, after all. I was unable to move further with the manager. I remain ashamed that I needed to cash my husband 's and my joint account, ashamed to the point that I 've waited since mid-XXXX to write because I simply could not. Anything you can advise will be appreciated. Cordially, / s /
