Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

I had a XXXX phone service for less than 2 weeks in XX/XX/XXXX. I cancelled it. XXXX said I have a XXXX  balance. One month later a collection agency sends an email to me stating that I owe them {$83.00}. I called the collection agency and they said they had no idea why I would have a bill. They told me to call XXXX. XXXX took several transfer calls to reach a manager. They said I have no bill and it will go away. So I called the collection agency and notified them that I spoke with XXXX and there is no balance. The next month comes and I receive another email bill. I did the same thing all over again. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from XXXX that I have a credit due back to me of {$15.00}. XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from the collection agency saying that I still owe the {$83.00}. So I called them again and they said it is a timing thing and there is no balance. I told them I have spoken with them over 4 times on the phone over the course of several months and I want to file a complaint. They would not give me their address. They said they will note my account that I am upset with them. The collection agency is MRS Associates of New Jersey is a trade name of MRS BPO, L.L.C. 
( XXXX ) XXXX. Please have them stop harassing me.

This particular account situation that is lately filing on my own credit document has a seriously unfavorable relation to my personal ability to obtain a present loan application. I highly recommend you generate verification that Credit Union has been reported completely in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act regulations, it's really a serious problem to misreport. More confirmation of the aforesaid item too. My proper request must over, I was never 30 days/60 days/120 days late in any of my payments and I'm not greatly tuned in to the date opened so I prefer to ask you be investigated as soon as possible and confirmed to be correct.

Last week Equifax improperly handled my wife 's and my own credit reports. They are offering a year of free credit monitoring through their own provider. Most likely our compromised information will come in to play years from now and could potentially effect us for the rest of our lives.

Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

PNC mortgage is reporting XX/XX/XXXX payment as 30 days late on my XXXX   and XXXX  credit reports. Also the company omitted reporting my XX/XX/XXXX payment. Around XXXX or XXXX of XXXX, I began disputing the inaccuracy of this to all three credit bureaus. The company did not respond to XXXX  and as a result, the account was removed from my XXXX credit report. The company responded to the other two agencies by deleting information for past payment history for years prior to XXXX. This only resulting in the company giving a " response '' to the credit bureau, but not making the accurate corrections. I kept disputing every 30 days, but nothing changed. The company continued to respond to say the payment history was correct. When I called PNC mortgage directly, I was told my account was showing current and paid as agreed for XX/XX/XXXX. I was told disputes are only handled in writing and had to be mailed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, OH XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed three letters ( one to XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and the others to XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to insure the company received them ) with copies of the supporting information. A written letter stating my dispute, a copy of the payment funds and date drafted from my bank account, a copy of my account from their website and a copy of my credit reports showing the inaccuracy of the XX/XX/XXXX payment, which shows as 30 days late for XXXX  and XXXX. I received a letter from PNC Bank dated XX/XX/XXXX which stated the accuracy of my XXXX payments and that they can not remove any negative information. The letter stated the payment for XX/XX/XXXX was reported as current/ paid as agreed. On XX/XX/XXXX PNC bank continued to report my XX/XX/XXXX payment as 30 days late. This was reported to XXXX and XXXX. I have emailed them, but have not gotten a response. I've tried calling again and still have been directed to send another letter to the address given. This issue has been unresolved for almost an entire year. It seems that they are purposely reporting this account as 30 days late.

Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

My husband and I purchased a home in XX/XX/XXXX with Homebridge Financial. Our first payment was due XX/XX/XXXX. 
I have attempted to pay Homebridge Financial a total of six times for XXXX and XXXX. I was able to pay for XXXX after contacting customer service multiple times to have the " red flag '' that was placed removed from our account. While attempting to pay Homebridge in the months of XXXX and XXXX I was assured we would not be charged a late fee because the issue was Homebridge 's fault. I was also assured that it would not be reported to the credit bureaus which was not true. Homebridge Financial did in fact report it. Both my husband and I had almost perfect credit scores prior to this issue and now it is significantly lower. Please see the following timeline of attempted payments : - Bill of {$1300.00} paid through mobile banking app on XX/XX/XXXX. Payment was then refunded XX/XX/XXXX ( # 1 ) - Bill of {$1200.00} then paid over the phone on XX/XX/XXXX, payment was canceled by Homebridge on XX/XX/XXXX ( # 2 ) - Bill of {$1200.00} paid over the phone on XX/XX/XXXX, payment was canceled by Homebridge. ( # 3 ) - Bill of {$2500.00} paid over the phone on XXXX. The customer service representative stated Homebridge had the wrong banking account information, this was updated at this time. Payment was never posted. ( # 4 ) - Contacted customer service on XX/XX/XXXX regarding previous payment, customer service rep stated payment was placed in a " holding account. '' Payment then applied to the remaining balance. Payment was never processed by Homebrige after being removed from " holding account. '' ( # 5 ) - I then paid my outstanding balance of {$2500.00} on XX/XX/XXXX online through XXXX. At that time I had to input the correct banking information ( Homebridge system had this wrong ). Payment was then processed on XX/XX/XXXX. ( # 6 ) The only way my payment was correctly processed by Homebridge was through the online payment system and correct banking information that I had to enter. 
- I paid my XX/XX/XXXX payment on time and through the online payment system. 
I have filed a dispute on all three major credit bureaus to have my credit score fixed. My husband 's and I credit score prior to all of this was almost perfect and we have never been late on any loan payment. XXXX and XXXX both completed my dispute saying Homebridge Financial responded accurately and no changes were made on my credit report. This is Homebridge Financials fault. We attempted to pay them multiple times and their system failed to process our payment due to their customer service error.

This is my 3rd attempt to correct my XXXX credit report and these idiots continue to break the law. This is absurd. I am a true victim here! I have sent in FTC and Affidavit and 609 letter before and nothing was done. It has been 75 days, 75 days!!! The information located inside of my FTC report needs to be corrected NOW! I have my lawyer contacting the Attorney General 's office in reference to my credit report. I will sue if I do not get cooperation immediately. Its been 75 days already. How much longer should I suffer? I will be homeless if this is not corrected. Do you want to be the ones who could be the solution, but chose to continue to break the law and my rights? Correct my credit report, NOW!!!
