Received a letter from Bank of America dated XX/XX/XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. Case Number XXXX. Letter stated, to further assist you to resolve this matter, please call us at the number listed below and provide us your case number XXXX. Called Bank of America on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX  and talked to XXXX. She kept asking me to hold and after holding for 5 minutes I hung up. Called again on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX  and talked to XXXX in CA. Told her I don't receive text messages and did not know where my credit card was and did not know what she was talking about when she asked me for a line ID. Asked to talk to a supervisor. At XXXX XXXX XXXX told me a supervisor would call me back in 5 minutes and she promised me the supervisor would call me back by XXXX XXXX. Did not receive a call back from the supervisor. 
On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX called XXXX in Texas. Again had a problem with text and did not have the 4 digit on the back of my card. Again I asked to talk to a supervisor. After being on hold for 15 minutes I was return back to the phone queue and talked to XXXX in Arkansas. Asked her if she was a supervisor and she answered NO. WHY did XXXX in Texas put me back in the phone queue and not transfer me to a supervisor. XXXX in Arkansas asked me some questions and got me verified. She looked at my case and asked how she could help me. I informed her I was following the directions in the letter and called Bank of America at XXXX. She had no clue what to tell me and she was wondering why Bank of America charged me {$.00}. I informed her they did not charge me {$.00} and that they removed {$.00} from my account. She than informed me that she could not access the information and she wanted to transfer me to another department. I informed her I had spent the last hour on the phone with Bank of America and was not spending any more of my time getting the run around. WHY DID YOU WANT ME TO CALL YOU?? WHAT DO YOU WANT??????
We have been COSTCO Executive Business members for over 10 years now. Recently, Costco switched their contract from XXXX XXXX credit card to CitiBank credit card. We chose not to activate the new CitiBank card ; paid off all outstanding balance accumulated on the XXXX XXXX card, closed XXXX XXXX account and shredded the CitiBank card mailed to us shortly before the transition. To our surprise, a month or so later we received a statement from CitiBank indicating that we have an outstanding balance with CitiBank. All my attempt to explain to the customer service that we do not have any relationship with CitiBank, never signed any agreements with the company, do not even have a CitiBank card in our possession, or know our CitiBank credit card account number failed. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I spoke with a XXXX who explained that the balance was for COSTCO membership which was automatically transferred from XXXX XXXX to CitiBank. Since we do not have XXXX contractual relationship with CitiBank, I chose to pay our membership fees at the Costco warehouse directly. Yet, a month later we received another statement from CitiBank, now imposing an interest to the previous balance. I called customer service on XXXX XXXX, 2016, and spoke to a XXXX at ID # XXXX who assured me that the account would be closed within XXXX10 business days. Today, XXXX XXXX, 2016, I have received yet another statement from CitiBank. It still lists outstanding balance and interest. What gives this credit card company the right to harass me? I did not accept or solicit or seek their product, and refused on multiple occasions to use it. I acted in good faith and attempted to find out the origin of their repetitive billing. I spoke to various customer service representatives and have notes of those conversations. If there is no account, no credit card, no activity, and no agreement between us, what exactly am I being charged for?
I have filed XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX,XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX, XXXX & Equifax to have XXXX XXXX removed off my credit report alone with the address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX La XXXX which is inaccurate, there is fraud alerts placed on each bureau still no changes & it 's affecting me. Can you please investigate and have this removed from all three credit bureaus.
Hi, During the months XXXX, XXXX and XX/XX/2015, I experienced severe financial hardship and was unable to pay my credit card. I had been paying on time as seen in the attachment from my credit report. I was using this secured credit card to build my credit. When I had the opportunity of making a payment it was too late for Capital One as they canceled my credit card and applied the security deposit to cover what I owed them at the time. 

I have since opened another secured credit card with XXXX and they returned me the deposit after some months as I was paying on time. I hadn't missed a single payment on my credit report before the three missed payments with Capital One and I haven't missed a payment since then as well. I am writing this complaint because I have become a responsible individual but these missed payments affect my credit score still in a significant way. I have made several complaints for them to help me with dropping those from my credit report but have always received a negative response, that is why I'm looking for help with CFPB. 

Thank you for your reponse XXXX XXXX-XXXX
I went to XXXX in XXXX In where a employee of the same company I work cashed his check I presented my check from the same company was denied by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called the phone provide by XXXX and was told they could not tell me why they refused my payroll check. I went to XXXX in XXXX In and XXXX in XXXX IL and they would not cash the check and again given the number for Certegy.. When calling the Automated system does not offer clear way to get information or clear way to dispute there decision. I went to Certegy web page and again no clear way to dispute there decision. The only thing I could see for information was to ask for a copy of my file. I requested the file and waited 2 weeks for it to arrive. While waiting I  earned another paycheck and decided to cash it with XXXX mobile deposit. Certegy again denied my check for deposit. At this time I had received my file from Certegy. On the first of six pages it lists all the checks I have cashed or presented for cashing. Beside the item it reads Authorized or Not Authorized reason below with a microscope 99 see reason below.. Under the list it says 99 this transaction fell outside Certegy Guidelines.. The next column is for outstanding items.. Nowhere on the six pages is the an explanation of code 99 other than whatever code 99 is my file was perfectly clear. Again in the six pages there is no place to dispute the decision or find out the reason for Certegy to turn down payroll checks that I work hard. My next action was to call Certegy at a different number that was given to me when they refused my paycheck. I spent an hour on the phone with there representative verifying Identity and going over my file and verifying funds in my employers account. She told me my file look good and did not see a reason for my paychecks not to be cashed. Then the representative told me there was nothing she could do and could not provide me with a dispute Certegys decision. So after all of this I found out they should cash my payroll check. They won't cash my payroll check and did not give me any explanation or way of disputing there action. I go to work and work hard as a bricklayer and Certegy has stop all options for me to cash my check without driving 200 miles to my employer financial institution.
These issues are with 2 of the 3 major credit reporting agencies XXXX, and Experian. Each month for the past 18 months I have disputed 3 medical collection accounts on my credit reports. I have asked them to verify that these are in fact my accounts which are not. I keep getting a generic electronic statement stating the accounts have been verified. But by what means? I have requested to know who they spoke to, producing any signatures of mine, as well as any contracts, as well as what these medical charges are for. It has been very frustrating for me in the fact that these are the only derogatory items on my reports. Previously upon request, XXXX  removed them from my report. I have had no success with XXXX  and Experian. The collection agency is : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  The amounts are : {$1500.00} {$1000.00} {$1300.00} I can produce correspondence if needed as I currently don't have the ability to upload documents. Any assistance regarding this would be appreciated as I would like to apply for a home mortgage in the next 90 days. Thank you.
On XX/XX/2015 an account was open to cfraudulently. with a balance of {$1500.00} I have made attempts to contact them of this matter to only be referred to a collection agency XXXX XXXX in which they have sold the account to followed by ( writing off as a bad debt ) i notified XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that this is not my account. this collection harmfully effects my credit score. the account number where this debt can be found for XXXX XXXX is XXXX  account number with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Unknown. a letter was sent to both companies followed by the police report attached for Deceptive practice
On XX/XX/XXXX 2016 I went on XXXX to pay a vendor with my credit card. I entered my credit card info and assumed that {$1100.00} was put on my card. What I found out 10 months later was that, without my knowledge, they enrolled me in a 6 month no interest promotion. I did n't receive any bills until after the promotion ended and then was hit with all the interest. They will not remove the interest.
This company has repeatedly called and left numerous messages even after I communicated that I do not owe this debt. It is a medical debt and I never gave them permission to access or discuss my medical information and is a violation of HIPPA. I have ask the company to validate the debt and provide me with a contract between myself and this collection agency and to date I have not received anything.
I went to a college that is no longer open and went bankrupt and I can't go back to school or get a better education so I can provide for my children but I don't have a monthly income I don't even get any money and I'm trying to go back but this has been stopping me for years and not to mention I didn't even finish the semester and I can't find anyone to help me with this issue thanks XXXX XXXX
I have tried to contact different debt collectors multiple times for a debt that states XXXX XXXX XXXX i have tried to contact the debt collector XXXX XXXX XXXX only to be transferred and hung up on multiple times so I then try to disputed it with the credit agency XXXX and they tell me that they verified the debt and it will stay I can not seem to have anyone tell me what the debt is for yet i to have to deal with the consequences of it is unfortunate and unfair
During the " Mortgage banking scam years '' we took out a mortgage on our current home - this going back close to 14 years ago. Since then we 've had several mortgage serving companies and as we did research, we discovered they are defunct now or they are somehow affiliated to each other - ie. stock holdings. Each time the servicing company was changed ( not by our doing ), we were hit with fees and the like. There have been 4 or 5 companies in 14 years. 
We have been in Federal Court for almost two years ( XXXX et. al, v. XXXX XXXX Mortgage ). We joined the class action ( almost two years ago ) being represented by the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX, FL ). Months later, the XXXX was shut down for fraudulent dealings by the XXXX 's office in FL. and CT. 
Filing pro se, my wife and I ( Federal Court recommended we do so ) filed an amended complaint. We contacted several NJ-based mortgage attorneys but were turned down due to the XXXX mess and ( candidly stated ) not enough money involved. With the original filing possibly being dismissed, we filed the amended complaint citing ( seemingly collusive ) fraud and later supported it with the governing laws that applied. This was indeed difficult to navigate since as pro se filers, our knowledge is limited and the research massive. 
The case is still in Federal Court ( Civ. # XXXX ) here in New Jersey. The amended complaint cites XXXX XXXX, Ocwen Loan Servicing, XXXX XXXX Mortgage and other financial institutions. 
The original XXXX complaint is still not dismissed thankfully due to our amended complaint 's stance and filing. To our knowledge, my wife and I are the only ones still continuing this case - the other XXXX have not responded to the Court 's repeated attempts to contact them directly. 
There are over XXXX families involved here which the XXXX XXXX XXXX bilked out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The XXXX 's office in FL. assigned a Receiver and so far from online docs, the Receiver has recovered only {$1000.00}. XXXX XXXX XXXX is now the " XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX '' - XXXX-based as was the XXXX XXXX XXXX. He seems to have lost his legal standing but somehow not fully accountable for defrauding so many people - the joined the original class action. 
We understand why the others have not continued with their complaint. We alone are approaching two years, several court hearings, facing a battery of law firms and no one to represent us. This is an uphill battle and one worth pursuing. 
We commend the Federal Court for their ongoing openness and civility. The Court has been extremely lenient with our pro se filed amended complaint and when it is finally put to rest, we hope our complaint will be decreed in our favor.
I have been over sea with my company from XX/XX/XXXX- XX/XX/XXXX. And I have a collection company Phoenix Financial Service Trying to collect a medical debit for {$2400.00} from XX/XX/XXXX I was never in a medical ins tuition. this is a fraudulent account and want it removed from my credit
I called XXXX today ( X/XX/17 ) to place an initial 90 day fraud alert on my credit. Many people are taking advantage of this service following the recent Equifax hacks, and many more should be. This fraud alert is a free service that notifies you when someone tries to pull your credit info anytime in the next 90 days. The credit reporting service you call is apparently legally required to offer this and make sure that the other two services follow suit. 

Before you have the option to actually have your fraud alert set up, you need to decline two detailed pitches for their premier $ XXXX/mo credit monitoring service. This premier service they are describing sounds a XXXX of a lot like the free service they know you are calling about. The difference between these services was obvious to me but it may not be obvious to others, especially if they are panicked trying to protect their information. I understand a company exists to make money, but this is n't your typical company- these people control your most important, valuable and private information and you have no say in the matter. After a huge data breach from Equifax, these guys are trying to hawk some premier paid service to people who are taking proactive steps to protect their information before this happens again to the other two services. It may not be illegal but in my opinion it 's shady and blurs the line between service and profit. I would like to see XXXX offering this service elsewhere, not as a roadblock in front of this critical free service needed to protect your identity.
XX/XX/XXXX : Real Time ResolutionsXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, CaliforniaZip Code XXXX Re : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, California Account No. : XXXXDear XXXX XXXX XXXX : This email is in confirmation of the information contained in your facsimile transmission XX/XX/XXXX, of the unsigned letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX Customer Servicing Department dated XX/XX/XXXX entitled " Notice of Assignment, Sale or Transfer of Servicing Rights, which in sum and substance states that the servicing rights to the above referenced account representing my second promissory note, in the approximate amount of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( {$100000.00} ) dollars, secured by deed of trust, was sold by XXXX, a operating division and, or subsidiary of XXXX XXXX XXXX, to Real Time Resolutions XXXX Inc., on or about XX/XX/XXXX, at a time when I was engaged in Chapter XXXX, Bankruptcy proceedings before the United States Bankruptcy Court for XXXX California XXXX, California, without having first applied to the court for relief from stay from the provisions of Section XXXX ( a ), of the United States Bankruptcy Code. I have been able to determine, from other sources at XXXX XXXX XXXX, that this notice was intentionally or negligently defective in that it failed to state that the promissory note and deed of trust encumbering the above referenced real property were also sold by XXXX XXXX XXXX to Real Time Resolutions , Inc., on or about XX/XX/XXXX, also without obtaining the consent of the Bankruptcy Court for permission to engage in an action which does or may affect my rights as Debtor to property of my Bankruptcy Estate. 

This sales transaction has additional ramifications in that I never received notice of the sale of the promissory note and deed of trust, from any party to the transaction, as required by California law, and was thereby prejudiced in my ability to determine to whom my obligation was owed so as to make payment on the promissory note or to otherwise discharge the amount represented by the promissory note as being unsecured by the deed of trust due to a lack of equity in the real property at the time of the filing of my Chapter XXXX, Bankruptcy Petition, sufficient to cover the amount of the obligation. 

My attorneys have advised me that I should reopen my Bankruptcy proceedings to unwind these transactions and obtain a discharge of the promissory note and deed of trust. To that end I have petitioned the Bankruptcy Court to reopen my Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy proceedings. However, I have held preparation of a complaint seeking the avoidance of this obligation in abeyance due to the considerable expense of prosecuting a complaint for avoidance of this lien and the representations made by XXXX XXXX XXXX that it was willing to voluntarily reconvey the deed of trust to me and cancel the promissory note. If this is still the case please advise me in writing on or before close of business XX/XX/XXXX 


Regards, XXXX XXXX
I just found out about the Consent Order vs. Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC. They sued me for a ( should have been ) Time-Barred Debt. 

My problems with Portfolio Recovery Ass. 
mirror nearly everything in the Consent Order that they were guilty of. 

I tried to go it alone at first. During the first day I went to court ( XXXX XXXX, 2013 ), they said I had been mailed a " Request for Admissions '' and I had never responded and no response means I said yes to the questions. I do not recall ever getting this, nor does anyone in my household ( and I stated so in court ). 

I receive other peoples mail in my box at least once a month. I can only assume that some of mine may go elsewhere too. 

I hired a lawyer to fight them in court, but we lost due to the " Request for Admissions ''. 

Many of the violations listed in the Consent Order, match up with my experiences with Portfolio Recovery Ass. 

1. Errors in the " Sale File '' including wrong account totals, page from a different account, no account level info. 

2. They did not investigate when I disputed the validity of the debt ( even in writing ) about having never made a payment. 

3. Called my phone at all hours, many times a day. 

4. Referenced legal action before any had begun. 

5. Only had " Request for Admissions '', could not provide any proof. 

6. Trying to collect on a Time-Barred account. 

I am sure there are more in the XXXX page Consent Order, but I think this shows how I was treated. 


I have not paid or said I would pay anything on the account, so I do not need/qualify for that part of the Redress. 

I did have to miss several days of work, hire a lawyer, do tons of research and backtracking to try and prove the SOL had passed, causing much XXXX ( I obsess ), worry and marital strife. 

I will attempt to attach a timeline of some events and a copy of my lawyer 's motions What I need to know, is how do I go about getting the Judgment dropped, my Credit record cleaned and my Legal fees recouped?
My father has been in the hospital since XXXX XXXX XXXX unable to handle his finances. We called XXXX XXXX to gain access to his accounts with the Power Of Attorney papers which they would not accept over the phone. They required us to bring it and us to a bank branch with a notary in house. The closest one was 4 hours away so we left work midday on XX/XX/XXXX16 and after 4 hours we supposedly left there with the ability to log into www.wellsfargo.com and create a user name and password to handle my fathers accounts. Except the credit card they sent the paperwork to that department and said that it could take up to 4 weeks before we can access it. We drive 5 hours home ( rush hour traffic in XXXX ) and upon trying to do as instructed it said that it could n't find my information to call an XXXX number so I call and the woman says that I need a reference number repeatedly and something about the account being locked. Monday XXXX/XXXX/16 I call as soon as the branch opens and ca n't get XXXX but XXXX says that we have to be there in person with our ID for the online people to unlock the account. You have to be kidding right? I call back and he says that he will see what he can do. Hours later I call and get him again and he says that every time he tries to call he gets interrupted and just after talking to him XXXX calls and she says that she will check on this and call me back. Here it is after XXXX here in XXXX and still no access. After we got home also I called to check on my father and he is getting worse and may not be here much longer. If I spent the last weekend of my fathers life playing games with Wells Fargo instead of seeing him this is sad and pitiful what they do to people.
