Company: PINNACLE RECOVERY, INC.
State: NY
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Indicated you were committing crime by not paying debt

Complaint:
I am a flight attendant living out of state in base. My XXXX  has been doing the bills. This week we received a notice from the collection agency Pinnacle Recovery. Prior to this, we received no notification that our automatic payment is no longer attached to the new XXXX credit card. Therefore, we haven't been paying the bill since XXXX. The collection agency is the first notice we received. I called XXXX today, XXXX and spoke with XXXX. He said that someone attempted to call, yet we have no voicemail or notification to prove it. He then transferred me to XXXX who is in collections through XXXX. She said that there were XXXX letters sent. We said that we never received those notices even though the correct address was verified. I asked if she could email them to me. She said it would take a bit but she would do it. It is now XXXX as I have waited over XXXX hours and still nothing is in my inbox. I find it a bit suspicious that she said she had these documents yet they can not be forward in a timely manner making me think that they actually don't exist. Then my husband XXXX XXXX called Pinnacle today. He spoke to XXXX in account release. Pinnacle stated that XXXX doesn't have to notify us of missed payments and then lectured him about paying bills. If you check our credit score, I was XXXX points away from a perfect score. We are not delinquints. We had an issue with XXXX with this new card. A payment of {$1600.00} was sent in XXXX but went to the old account and not the new one. I called every XXXX weeks to try and resolve this issue in which they could not find this payment. Not once did anyone say my account was disconnected. I finally resolved it last month using my bank. 

I am very dissapointed with XXXX to say the least. I do not mind paying what I owe and would pay it immediately since this is the first time I have been made aware. What I do mind is the {$360.00} fee charges when we didn't even know we were delinquent and given the chance to rectify. This is very poor business and seems like a scam to make money. 

I will be out of the country now for a while so I would be XXXX weeks delayed in any response. My husband XXXX XXXX is available. HIs phone number is listed. His email address is XXXX XXXX

Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint:
I submitted a request on for my XXXX XXXX education award to go towards my federal student loans held by edfinancial on XX/XX/XXXX The award was for {$4100.00}. Previously, all contact i had with XXXX staff indicated the award should be processed in about 2 weeks. On XXXX I assumed the request got lost and resubmitted my request. Edfinancial still hasn't responded to the request. I called both the XXXX hotline and edfinancial hotline to hear about where my education award request was. Edfinancial was completely clueless and wanted me to include my account number despite that not being how the award system works. 

The XXXX hotline indicated that there is a delay in processing these edfinancial requests, but didn't indicate how long it would take for the request to finally process. On Sunday it will be 60 days. 

This is especially frustrating -- each month the education award is deleted is more interest that I have to pay for Edfinancial 's mistake. I learned about this website from XXXX -- where multiple people are as lost and confused as I am.

Complaint:
Accounts on my credit report have been linked to identity theft without my proper authorization, including a signature. I've already discussed this matter with your organization, and I'm formally requesting the swift removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue isn't resolved appropriately, I'm ready to take legal action to protect my rights and seek a resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as buying a home and providing for my family.

I currently have a loan with ally financial. There has been a bankruptcy filed after repossession placing an automatic stay on the car.

I've been on the phone over 7 hours a day now ffor over a week. This is not a comforting feeling.
