This place is a total bluff and a scam.

State: TX
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Taking out the loan or lease

Complaint:
Have never heard of the company and they have never contacted me and have never provided any proof of this loan. Despite repeated requests to validate. 

As a Texas resident according to what they placed on my credit bureau reports, last payment activity was XXXX, over 4 years ago. Even if it was valid, which it is not, they are barred by Texas law since the last date of activity was over 4 years ago on XXXX and it is XXXX. 4 years and 3 months, past the Texas statue. 

They continue to update my credit reports with nonsense information like " skip, bad debt, placed for collections, etc. " I have good credit going back 25 years and same phone number for 16 years, same email address for 16 years and save mailing address for over a decade. 

There are no negatives on my account and I have positive credit in the good to very good range across all three bureaus and my address ' that are reported are current. 

The " skip '' comment that they are reporting is totally invalid as nothing has changed in over a decade.

Complaint:
I have a Dillards XXXX XXXX card. I used it on XXXX/XXXX/2015 to purchase a XXXX of items at Dillards in XXXX. I happened to sign on to the credit card website today ( XXXX/XXXX/2015 ) and it has the balance due listed as owed by XXXX/XXXX/2015. I received no statement in the mail or by email, no notice that the due date was here. Further, the secure email feature on the website was XXXX, so I was unable to contact Dillards. This is the XXXX time in a year that the card has listed a payment as due without sending me a statement or notification. I know they have my email and address because they are constantly sending me marketing advertisements. 

Is n't this illegal? Are n't they supposed to let you know when the due date is on a payment? Last time, the payment was listed as overdue and again, I only found out because I signed on to see if there was a statement available.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint:
I was forced to file for a loan modification due to a hardship brought about by a divorce. I made every payment up to when I was sent a letter stating what my new payment would be and the date that the next payment was due. My loan modification specialist said that I must make these three payments for that amount, on or before the date that they were due, or my modification would either be delayed or denied. I made the XXXX payments and was subsequently modified after the XXXX monthly trial payments. I checked my credit score in the months following and found that two XXXX day late payments showed up. I have since followed up many times with the bank, only to get conflicting answers. XXXX answer I received from the bank is that I should have paid another full payment before the trail payment that they wanted me to pay. My Attached documents show that I paid every payment up to XX/XX/XXXX. I received a letter from the Bank on XXXX XXXX, stating that I would now be entering into a new payment schedule, and that the next payment was due on XXXX XXXX. Another answer was that the lates resulted from the difference between my unmodified payment and the trial payment. I was never informed that I needed to keep paying my old amount or in other terms above what they asked me to pay during the trial period. Bottom line I paid what they told me to pay, when they wanted it to be paid. I would have had no issue paying more if they wanted more. Also the late payments on my credit report state they occurred during the trial period, if this was the case the bank would have delayed or not given me a loan modification, neither of those happened.

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

Complaint:
In XXXX, 2015 I contacted XXXX ( XXXX ) for assistance with my mortgage. In coordination with this process, I was required to request loan modification from my mortgage provider Bank of America. XXXX requires the exact same documentation as Bank of America. While XXXX received, evaluated and provided me with a denial of my request based on my income, Bank of America has continually asked for additional documentation, although I have provided everything requested within a XXXX hour window, either by fax or document upload to their website. I would get a call from a " customer relations manager '' requiring XXXX more document. I would immediately provide it ( within XXXX hours ) and then a week would go by and then I would get another e-mail and another call asking for yet another document. Much of the documentation has had to be provided XXXX or XXXX times and still no resolution. Bank of America is now indicating that we wo n't be able to meet a regulatory deadline in order to complete a determination of the loan modification request. As of XXXX XXXX I have had a change in income. I have provided proof of that change, but Bank of America will not accept that documentation until actual receipt of a deposit to my bank account. Actual deposit wo n't occur until outside the XXXX day window Bank of America appears to working under. The fact that a determination has not been made ( up or down ) prior of XXXX XXXX is a tactic to deny me the opportunity to keep my home and have a more manageable mortgage. XXXX made an assessment and provided me with a determination over a XXXX ago. I believe Bank of America to operating in bad faith.

Complaint:
In direct violation of Federal Law, Professional Debt Mediation , Inc. reported this debt to the Credit Reporting Agencies as of XX/XX/XXXX, more than a week prior to notifying me about it in a letter sent to me by the merchant dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Furthermore, when I disputed the charge in an email sent to the merchant on XX/XX/XXXX, Professional Debt Mediation , Inc. never responded in any way, as I have not heard from the merchant at all since that time. The debt stems from a fake eviction - predicated on the notion that jumping rope indoors during the day can be a legitimate grounds for evicting for a single tenant living alone at an income-restricted and therefore family-oriented rental property - staged by my former landlord, XXXX XXXX XXXX, on behalf of the State of Florida in retaliation for my efforts to address the Federally Institutionalized lack of Due Process for groups protected under Federal Fair Housing Laws.
