I sent Radius the attached revocation of consent to be contacted by telephone letter to them and yet they continue to call 3rd parties that they are not authorized to be contacting, recording their telephone calls without giving proper notice, and attempting to collect on a debt that they have no right to collect on.

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:
I am appalled at the response from my complaint #  XXXX  in which you claim to have verified the bankruptcy on my file with the verbiage "   XXXX   has verified that the bankruptcy information reported in your credit report accurately reflects the public record of the United S tates Federal Bankruptcy Court '' I would love to know how that can be. You did NOT conduct an investigation into this and neither did your third party   XXXX   XXXX . The bankruptcy court does not furnish nor verify with anyone without a court order the contents of the bankruptcy. A person sitting on a computer looking at a website is NOT verification.     If in fact there was an investigation, please provide your method of verification, with whom  at the County Clerk you spoke  and the time and date of the verification. A verification means it can be subpoenaed in a court of law. I am certain that this was NOT done. I know this because I personally went down to the courthouse and verified with the clerk herself that this method does not follow the guidelines of the FCRA and FDCPA which you are in violation of here.     I have suppressed the date from being reported by YOUR third party vendor who you claim made this verification. So, if the third party suppresses the information, then how on earth can it report and verify to you the information is in fact true? This means either you or your third party vendor could not be bothered to rectify my complaint and just dismiss me without any viable proof other than your statement that the information is true and just.     Without proof, there is no court on earth that will " take your word for it '' because a third party vendor decided not to do his or her job.     I am sick and tired of writing complaints and letters and pleading with you that I face bodily harm while this information is reporting on my credit file. If anything happens to me, my next of kin will be ready to testify that your negligence will be held responsible for any harm that is inflicted on my body or person. They will sue for the maximum possible punitive damages again st you. See attached court  case.     Please remove the unverified and falsely reported and suppressed bankruptcy from my credit report.

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

Complaint:
I am writing this letter to explain my unfortunate set of circumstances that have caused me to become delinquent on my mortgage. I have done everything in my power to make ends meet but unfortunately I have fallen short and would like you to consider working with me to modify my loan. My number one goal is to keep my home and I would really appreciate the opportunity to do that. 

The main reason that has caused me to be late is nothing short of my own doing. I had entered into a bankruptcy case last year, due to my divorce and the amount of debt that I was left with but that case was dismissed on XX/XX/2016. The dismissal was on the declaration of the Trustee for failure to make all payments under the plan which I felt was more payment then I could afford. I was also offered a modification trial period with my home mortgage company. I began the trial XX/XX/XXXX and I made my first two trial payments but missed the third payment, which I did not realize ( XX/XX/2016 ). I continued sending payments XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/2016. Without me realizing it my car payments on the mustang had not been paid thru the trustee only the house and when the bankruptcy was dismissed they repossed my car, I had to get another car to be able to go to work, taking my income tax and another {$1000.00}, I purchased a used car, which at the time I did n't realize would affect my mortgage payment for XX/XX/2016 making it unable for me to make. I never received any word from my mortgage company that I had defaulted on the trial modification, until I had taped to my door a foreclosure sale set for XX/XX/2016. At that time my only option was to file bankruptcy again, this time my trustee payments are over {$2600.00}, I can not afford those types of payments. It is my full intention to pay what I owe, but at this time I have exhausted all of my resources so I am turning to you for help. 

My situation has gotten better because I can afford my car payment and mortgage payment with my income from my full time job and I feel that a loan modification would benefit us both. I would appreciate it you can work with me to lower my delinquent amount owed and or payment so I can keep my home and also afford to make amends with your firm.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
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:
Its been several months now I have been in consistent contact with Experian consumer reporting agency in regards to fraudulent accounts appearing on my credit file due to identity theft. In addition to my disputes, I have sent an identity theft report from the Federal Trade Commission which included some of the fraudulent accounts and addresses being reported on my credit file. Since I have yet to received any correspondence or original documentation obligating me to any of the fraudulent accounts in question from Experian. Experian has failed to provide 100 % accurate verification as per the Fair Credit Reporting Act sections 605b, 609, and 611. Experian has also failed to provide a block after being notified within 4 business days by a consumer from being a victim of identity theft. As a consumer my rights have an continued to be violated and Experian should be held accountability. Experian has not provided as per the Fair The Credit Report and reasonable and fair investigation within 30 days. This is totally unacceptable and is currently having a negative impact on my financial situation. I recently have been denied credit due these inaccuracies and Experian is liable.

Company: Seterus, Inc.
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
I have a mortgage with Seterus who is servicer for my loan. my monthly mortgage payment was {$2300.00} ( principal + interest ) paid on XXXX XXXX, but Seterus increased the payment to {$3000.00} due by XXXX XXXX in which they say escrow account added, but it is without my approval. 
I have asked customer service dept ( XXXX ) to remove escrow account on my loan verbally and in writing since XXXX XXXX, but they have not removed it until today. 
I never opened escrow account before, so I do not need to pay escrow amount in addition to original mortgage payment. it is their mistake and it should be corrected back to previous status and it is time sensitive matter but they gave me a false instruction and a lie so that I have n't got any corrected statement yet. 
1, 1st time call : XXXX XXXX, lady ( did n't get name ) advise me the will fix the problem, just ignore the bill statement with increased amount and I shall be given updated bill statement soon. but nothing happened 2. 2nd time call : XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX, told me that previous customer service agent did not do anything, so she was now making a special request for fixing the problem and advise me to wait until next week but nothing changed. 
.3. 3rd time call : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX ( supervisor ) told me that they can not handle this problem and I need to submit the request in writing to correspondence department XXXX. XXXX XXXX : I faxed the request and I have confirmation email from correspondence dept on XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX call : XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, asking her to expedite the request so that I can just pay same amount as contract on next due but told me just wait until they respond to me. she said it will take one month. 
summary ; - it is seterus that made the problem, they should corrected this problem right away but customer service agent told me a false instruction causing to wasting of time - customer service agent said they can not handle escrow account issue and ask me to contact correspondence department directly through fax after 2 weeks of false instruction. 
- they said correspondence department will respond me within 30 days - but next due is XXXX XXXX and I just want to pay same amount as I always paid which is not with escrow account. 
- customer service agent asked me to just wait until correspondence dept answer and pay increased amount with escrow account which is wrong.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
I purchased items at Kohl 's on XX/XX/XXXX that totaled over {$200.00}. I paid for the purchase using a combination of Kohl 's cash, XXXX gift cards, and my Kohl 's credit card account. After all credits were applied, I still ended up putting {$120.00} on my Kohl 's credit card. On XX/XX/XXXX, I returned one item totaling approximately {$31.00}. The Kohl 's employee that took my return told me that the refund would go back on my card. I assumed that she meant my Kohl 's account. A couple of weeks later, I went online to check my Kohl 's balance and noticed that I never received my refund to my Kohl 's account. When I call their Customer Service number, I was advised that the refund went back to a XXXX gift card that belonged to my sister. When I told them that they  sent my refund to another person, they told me there was nothing they could do about it because that is " how the system works ''. They told me to call my local Kohl 's and talk to them about it. I then called my local Kohl 's and had several conversations with a manager and eventually, the store manager. Both employees advised me that my refund was sent back to the XXXX  gift card automatically because that is how the system works. I was offered store credit for my purchase ; however, neither subject seemed to care that a system is in place where a customer 's refund money can be sent to someone else. Also, I did not want my refund in the form of another store credit. I wanted it to go against my outstanding balance to lower the amount that I owed. I was told that this was not an option because the " computer would not let them do it ''. This whole situation is not ok. My refund money was sent to someone other than me. Then they would n't refund the money to my account because they want to force me to spend it at Kohl 's again. I was also told that my sister would have to call Kohl 's to have the money re-issued. This is not acceptable. They sent my money to someone else, so they should get it back. In this instance, the money was sent to my sister. I was able to just get it from her ; however, what if my sister did n't want to give me my money? What recourse would I have? I have already complained to the BBB ( see attached files ), but Kohl 's response does not address the issue of the system that is in place. I have also complained to the Illinois Attorney General, but have not received their response yet.
