Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a debt collection mail at my new address notifying me about a XXXX bill of {$3900.00} that I allegedly owed on XX/XX/XXXX. However, this letter, was dated XX/XX/XXXX. The debt collection company, Convergent Outsourcing , Inc., made it known that I had the option to dispute the debt. The debt collection letter states that " If you write to us by XX/XX/XXXX, we must stop collection on any amount you dispute until we send you information that shows you owe debt. '' On XX/XX/XXXX, I took that course of action and sent a debt verification letter via certified mail. According to USPS tracking, Convergent Outsourcing , Inc. should have received my letter on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Today is Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX. I have not received any response from Convergent Outsourcing , Inc. regarding debt validation. However, the collection information was sent to credit bureaus, which has damaged my credit score dramatically. Therefore, Convergent Outsourcing , Inc., has violated my rights and the terms of the FDCPA.

Company: Continental Finance Company, LLC
State: MS
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Can't close your account

Complaint:
In XXXX of XXXX I paid off all my credit card debt. XXXX of those cards was a XXXX XXXX from Continental Finance / Celtic Bank. I accidentally double paid the balance of {$370.00} twice. Thats when the fun starts. Realizing my mistake months later, I called XXXXContinental Finance customer service and asked them to refund the overpayment. In broken English, I was told that they could not do that because they thought that I might be trying to scam them and that XXXX or both of the payments might bounce. Bear in mind that this is XXXX months since both payments were debited from my account. Frustrated, I asked to speak with a supervisor, I was told that one would call me shortly. I also instructed the agent to close my account. He told me that my account was closed. A few hours later, an English speaking agent working from home called me and assured me that I would received a check for both my over payment and half my annual fee in the mail. About XXXX days later, received a check for about {$20.00} ( half the annual fee ) and another check for {$370.00}. Thinking that the matter was resolved, I went on with my life. 

Fast forward to this morning XX/XX/XXXX, I woke up to an email thanking me for authorizing a payment to my XXXX XXXX for {$35.00}. Astonished, I called Continental/Celtic customer service again and spoke with XXXX who did not speak English as her first language and later declined to provide me any employee ID number or other identifying information. She told me that I had a balance of $ XXXX on my account. I said, how is this possible, explained that I overpaid my balance, got a refund for the overage and my account is closed. She informed me that it was not closed. And that my BOTH my payments, made in XX/XX/XXXX, were returned so that I was left with a balance. I tried to explain that that was incorrect, but she just put me on hold them disconnected the call. 

I discovered that my login credentials still work on the website. Continental debited my checking account for {$30.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and initiated another charge of {$35.00} for XX/XX/XXXX. They have also been charging me interest on this fictitious balance. I never authorized automatic debiting of my checking account and certain did not authorize them to reopen my account and start charging me interest on a fictitious balance. 

I need the FTC to please stop these fraudsters.

To my knowledge I don't have a credit score, so I've been working on making it by obtaining a secure credit card with XXXX. I also downloaded the Experian app as it was highly recommended when I intended to check my credit score. In the app it says i have Outstanding Debt, but have never gotten any loan and not paid it off. the only loans I've ever gotten are from XXXX XXXX. it was suggested that it may be from XXXX  as some credit cards have annual fees, so i checked my account balance and i have no such charges, i checked the website and i see in big bold letters that the specific card i have has no annual fees. 
Now to my knowledge i don't owe anyone any money. as i said i just got my first credit building credit card and have no current debt with XXXX. 

I should also mention that on every identification that i have my First name is as listed, but i have two last names and it only shows one, my last name is hyphenated, it doesn't always show up but both last names do i attached screen shots from my XXXX card statements, the outstanding debt info that shows on Experian app and the advertisement from the secure card i got and one of how my name shows up in the Experian app, you can see how it should be on the statement from XXXX

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:
By law, the credit bureaus are to have the original contracts as verification of a debt before placing them into my credit report. I have tried to contact the following companies and the credit bureaus to show proof of the original contract and they all have failed to do so. By law, if the credit bureaus and debt collecting companies fail to hold the original contracts or proof that they verified the debt with the original contracts before placing them onto my credit report, they must delete the debts from my credit report. 

After requesting my credit report in order to fix my credit while I am currently unemployed and going to school full time, I have contacted the following debt collecting agencies in order to correct the errors that I found. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX. 
I sent them a correspondence on XX/XX/XXXX to VALIDATE the debt.

The only correspondence I received from them was a Pre-legal notification on XX/XX/XXXX. They have yet to send me anything that I requested from them per the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, as well as the they have not indicated to the bureaus, Transunion and XXXX, that the account in question is under dispute and is to be removed or cease from reporting the information until full validation has been completed. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I sent a correspondence to them on XX/XX/XXXX to also the debt in question.

They responded XX/XX/XXXX with a final bill statement which under the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act is NOT validation of a debt. They failed to remove or cease from reporting the information until full validation has been completed which they still have not shown proof of the original contract, per the FDCPA. 
They sent another correspondence on XX/XX/XXXX stating that theyve returned the account back to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX but still has failed to remove their information from my credit report. 

XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX I sent a correspondence on XX/XX/XXXX to also validate the debt. 
Their correspondence on XX/XX/XXXX was simply another billing statement, they have failed to provide any proof or original contract of the debt in question and have not removed or cease their reporting onto my credit. 

I hope this helps in any way to stop fraud and to stop these companies from doing thing illegally as they are not following the law on their actions. Thank you for your time.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Here is some information about what is going on. Enhanced Recovery Corp has placed items on my credit report that I have no knowledge about. 

The collection opened XX/XX/XXXX for {$2000.00} From ERC, with the original creditor is coming up as XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have no recollection of this account. I only recently started using my credit in XX/XX/XXXX. I 've never had a cell phone, cable, satellite TV, house phone, or my own house for that matter. I do n't know how any of this is coming up. 

I 've tried disputing through XXXX XXXX dispute feature twice, and they keep sending it back saying the information is accurate. Also through XXXX online dispute, the same thing. Now I did check the address that they had on file and it is my childhood home, but I have n't lived there since XX/XX/XXXX. 

The name they had on file originally only matches up with my last name, the first name on their file was never a way my name was spelled, pronounced, or did I ever go by that name. Further more, the name was a masculine version of mine, and also the fake name was also spelled incorrectly. As far as I can tell, they have since then changed it? That name is not coming up in any file I can access online. 

This Collection / Derragotory mark has been affecting my life severely, I refuse to pay this collection because it is n't mine.

Company: Community Loan Servicing, LLC (formerly known as Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC)
State: CT
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
Bayview improperly foreclosed on my house after it ( 1 ) told me to ignore the foreclosure papers and ( 2 ) failed to send me a permanent modification after I successfully completed a trial plan in XX/XX/XXXX. Without my knowledge, it foreclosed on my house on XX/XX/XXXX and is now auctioning it off on XX/XX/XXXX.
I fell behind on my mortgage because I lost my job, but I have since regained employment and am able to afford my mortgage. I received foreclosure papers inXX/XX/XXXX.
I called Bayview shortly after getting the foreclosure papers and asked what I could do to save my house. The Bayview representative told me not to worry about the foreclosure and that it would stop the foreclosure and help me out. Thereafter, I got paperwork from Bayview approving me for a trial modification for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXXfor {$1500.00}. My understanding from Bayview was that it would not foreclose on my house so long as I completed the trial plan and that I would receive a permanent modification if I successfully the trial payments. Based on Bayview 's representations to me, I did not file paperwork with the court because I believed it would not go forward with the foreclosure and that I would receive a permanent modification.
I successfully completed my trial plan by making 3 payments of {$1500.00}, reflected as withdrawals on my checking account statement forXX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. However, I did n't get a modification in the mail or hear anything from Bayview. My single point of contact left, and the other Bayview representatives were unable to give me any concrete information. I kept making payments at the trial amount, which Bayview accepted. Then, in late XX/XX/XXXX, Bayview started rejecting my payments. I still did n't receive a permanent modification, and I did n't know what was going on. I did n't think I was at risk of foreclosure though since I had successfully completed the trial plan.
Unbeknownst to me, Bayview went forward with the foreclosure of my house and obtained a judgment of strict foreclosure with the court, setting a law day of XX/XX/XXXX. I never got anything telling me about my foreclosure date. I only found out about the foreclosure in late XX/XX/XXXX when a realtor came to my house and told me it had been foreclosed on.
Bayview should not have proceeded with the foreclosure because I successfully completed a trial plan and was entitled to a permanent modification, which I would have accepted. Bayview should not have advised me to ignore the foreclosure action or told me it would n't foreclose on my house, which apparently was n't true.
