To Whom this may Concern .... my wife and I have a mortgage through a company called Ditech. Around XX/XX/2015 I was released from my job, at the time I was making around {$48000.00} a year. Immediately after I was released I contacted Ditech to keep the communication line open just in case I fell behind with the payments they would know why. To make a long story short this company has been harassing us to no end, when I tried to make the past due payment last year around XX/XX/XXXX one of the customer service reps told me that I did n't have a payment due at that time and I was told to make my regular payment on another date. NOTE : THIS IS ONE TIME THAT I WHISH THE PHONE CALLS WERE RECORDED LIKE THEY SAY THEY ARE BECAUSE THEY WOULD CLEARLY HEAR THAT CONVERSATION AND HOW I WAS GIVEN THE WRONG INFO. So with all that being said I never lost communication with Ditech and I 've been trying my best to work this situation out with them. Then I 'm told that I qualify for a modification, so my wife and I submit all the documents that they asked for at least three times and every time they kept telling us that we did n't submit the proper paperwork in time. After communicating with these people on a regular basis they still sent someone out to post notices on our door and when I asked the rep Why were they doing that? he told me that they do that to make sure the property is being occupied so I tell him is all they have to do is ring the doorbell because we 're home each time they do it, it 's embarrassing.Finally I work out an agreement to pay an additional {$600.00} to my regular mortgage payments to try to catch up on the past due payment and these payments are set up to come out of my account automatically but do the harassment stop ... .no it gets worst now they are sending us certified forclosure letters and to make matters worst the letters are going to our neighbors houses. Please is there anything that can be done to stop this harassment, I can see if I had n't been communicating with these people but I have been up front with them since last year and they still are harassing me over one payment and some late charges. Now I 'm making {$52000.00} a year and have been trying my hardest to catch up not just with my mortgage but with other bills also. It 's seems to me that they do n't want to work this out
I opened the account in XX/XX/XXXX and signed up for auto-payments. They indicated that it would take 30 to 60 days for the auto payments to commence. There was no payment due in XX/XX/XXXX. I made a payment online in XX/XX/XXXX. The XX/XX/XXXXbill indicated I was now signed up for auto payments and that a payment would be taken from my checking account on XX/XX/XXXX. When I received my statement it indicated that the auto-payment had indeed been made on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX called me to inform me that the payment had not been made as previously told. I was astonished as I knew there was ample money in the account to make several payments. The customer agent looked into my account and found there was a transposition in the account number for the checking account from which the payment was to be made. To ensure they had the correct number the agent made the XXXX payment while I was on the phone, and it went through. When I received my next statement I found that they had not only charged me {$25.00} for a returned check, but they also reported to the credit reporting agencies the payment was made 30 to 59 days late. The payment was due on XX/XX/XXXX, by the time they noticed that they had messed up the account number, contacted me, and obtained a payment was only 6 days. I do not know what party was responsible for the transposition, but I know they had 2 months to verify the account numbers. And they also could have called me when the payment did not go through, rather than waiting an additional week. 
The following month no payment was made from my account so I called them and they informed me that auto payment had been cancelled, without any notification. I told them that I wanted it to continue for which they apologized and re-instated the auto-payments and made a payment again while I was on the phone. XXXX then subsequent to my phone call, mailed me letters saying that my auto-payments had been cancelled, then another stated they had been reinstated. Both on the same date. No late payment fee or late payment report was made for this payment, even though I believe it was past due. They just took responsibility for the error, as they should have done the first time. 
I made complaints on two separate occasions to XXXX regarding this matter. I received XXXX unsigned form letters in response, all identical, indicating they they were correct to report the payment late. I do not believe this to be the case. It was XXXX 's fault that payments were made late on both occasions. I made honest efforts to make the payments and even had to follow up on them. I had the money in my account for payments to be made. This was a simple mistake, likley on their behalf, and should have no bearing on my credit score. 
The bill XXXX-XXXX attached to this report show that the payment had been made. The XXXX XXXX bill shows the payment unmade, the remade, as well as the {$25.00} returned check fee.
I am exhausted in regards to the accounts that are not associated with me, I have filed an identity theft report and have faxed over to all three credit bureaus. I have contacted Eperian, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX  via phone, fax and certified mail and haven't had any luck in getting anything resolved. I'm trying to buy a home and these accounts that are not associated with me are coming back and reporting negatively which is impacting my score tremendously. These accounts have been lingering on my accounts where tied to my name which I have not opened : XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$470.00}, XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$670.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$590.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$750.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$600.00}, XXXX XXXX XXXX  in the amount {$390.00}, XXXX in the amount of {$86.00}.
Dear CFPB, I participated in a credit card promotion with American Express whereby I would receive XXXX Membership Rewards points after spending {$3000.00} in 3 months. I received the card in mid XXXX 2016 and received the bonus only a few weeks later on XXXX XXXX, 2016. I had met the eligible spend and then returned a few purchases but did not realize that the returns put me below the eligible spend until XXXX XXXX. The reason I was unaware is because American Express did not adjust my points balance until nearly 3 months after the fact. The reason for this dispute is that I find it deceptive how American Express did not adjust my points balance in a timely manner or notify me to allow me to rectify the situation. I ended up being only about {$450.00} below the spending requirement, which I surely would have been able to do had I known I was below the requirement. American Express should not have awarded me these bonus points AND kept the points in my account for more than two months after the returns. It therefore became very difficult for me to keep track of my status in terms of the points promotion and spending requirements.
Equifax is reporting an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX as a chargeoff/current debt when my debt balance is now XXXX with nothing owed. The balance is approximately {$6000.00}. Equifax is refusing to manually check the records of XXXX XXXX to confirm that the debt is at a XXXX balance. XXXX XXXX is lying about me having a debt owed with them and their internal records needs to be checked.
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting on my credit reports a collections account that is not mine I never opened credit cards with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
I have a Citi Premier credit card that I have had opened for several years now. When my annual fee came due approximately 4 1/2 months ago, I called in to cancel the card. To entice me to keep the card open, I was offered a promotion wherein I would receive a statement credit of {$95.00} for spending {$1000.00} on the card in each of the next 3 months. In addition, I would receive XXXX bonus ThankYou Points for spending {$1000.00} on the card in each of the next 3 months for a total of XXXX bonus ThankYou Points at the end of the third month. I completed all requirements under the offer and was provided the {$95.00} statement credit as agreed to, but only received XXXX bonus ThankYou Points despite meeting all the required criteria. 

I reached out to Citi on two occasions to get this resolved and was told that the {$95.00} statement credit and XXXX bonus points was what my account was enrolled in. While that was on option, that was not the option I selected on my phone call with Citi when the offer was made. I explicitly had the Citi representative read back to me the terms before agreeing to the offer, which he did, and which clearly stated that I was to receive XXXX bonus points for every month I spent {$1000.00} on the card for a total of XXXX bonus points.
Payments to loan are not being properly applied to interest and principal. There will be months were {$0.00} are applied to principal and after an entire year of payments the over all principal only went down {$200.00}. When I contacted the lender about ways reduce the interest the only offered a 0.25 % reduction for auto debits which I signed up for. The next month, the payment remained unchanged as the variable interest on the loan increased again to around 8.5 % I make regular payments to this loan and I just want to find a way to get out from underneath it quicker.
Continental Finance -- Verve credit card Since opening the account in XXXX 2014, Continental has regularly charged late fees to my account and reported my account as late to the credit bureaus when that has not happened. Initially, issues began when the card had to be re-issued because the card had not been received. Although, I had not received the card, Continental began charging me fees on the account. Late fees on a card that I did not have! 
Since that time, I have been charged a late fee each month. This account is setup on bill pay through my financial institution. I have this account setup so that payments are received by Continental at least 2 days prior to the due date and I always pay more than the minimum amount due. My financial institution has confirmed that payments have arrived as requested each month. I have noticed that it takes Continental approximately 6 days to process my payment. According to Continental, because they have not " processed '' the payment on or before the due date -- regardless of when they receive the payment, they consider the payments to be late and as a result, they are entitled to a late fee and can -- and do -- report my payments as being " late '' although the payment was received by Continental at the address as indicated on my monthly statements BEFORE the actual due date. 
I have never heard of a company considering a payment as being late when the payment was received in their offices BEFORE the due date because it takes them so long so process the order and do not feel I should be regularly penalized for internal payment processing issues at Continental. 
Continental also charges interest on late fees ... late fees that they refuse to refund. My balance due on this account is a result of late fees and not actual purchases.
I spoke with an agent and I asked if I could get documentation to verify I owe a debt and he says no I would have to talk to my insurance since they made an initial payment. I told him the letter they sent said that I could dispute the debt and he says " you do n't know what dispute means '' I said he was being rude and unprofessional and I requested to speak to another agent or supervisor and he says " they do n't have time to talk to people like you ''. I said are you refusing to let me speak to a supervisor he says " yes, I am not going to bother them with your issues '' The agent refused to provide me with any information other than an amount owed and the name of medical facility, refused to allow me to speak to a supervisor, and talk to me in a demeaning way throughout the conversation.
Hello My name is XXXX XXXX I recently purchased some ink for a printer of the XXXX marketplace, I paid using XXXX through my wells fargo bank account. I sent the seller XXXX dollars the seller never sent the product and he sent me a bogus shipping number. After this happend i called wells fargo to open a case, I was informed that they dont protect you if you use XXXX through wells fargo. I researched what could be done and found you guys i attached a zip file with the full conversation between me and the seller i had to take screen shots of the conversation as i had no other way of sending the conversation but it should be in order. The Reference number of the XXXX transaction i did through wells fargo was # XXXX. This was a tranfer to XXXX on XX/XX/18. This seller was also trying to get me to send some crazy amount of money for shipping that i didnt send it was clearly a scam but im hoping you guys can contact wells fargo and do something about this.
I was told that I could not request a lower payment or request a deferment for the student loan sometime after XX/XX/XXXX. I was out of work from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. The payments stayed around {$400.00} or more dollars the entire time of the loan. I request for lower payments because my total student loans were over the minimum percentage of my income. Sallie Mae still refused to lower my payments. As life happen and I to pay for emergencies and necessities over a {$400.00} student loan. When I did get scholarships to help pay for my student loans, Sallie Mae did not take the amount to my principal but to my interest. Therefore the scholarships were worthless because it would only cover about 3-4 months of payments.

I took FMLA recently and was unable to make any type of payments. I can provide documentation if need be. Before I knew it, my entire student loan was sent to an aggressive collection agency called XXXX. They have contacted my work via phone calls and emails. 

The majority of the amount I owe is mostly from interest accrued not the principal. I wish I had never gone to this college and gotten into this undying debt. 
These interest rate calculations for these students loans are pathetic!

Both payments should be returned - neither payment was authorized by me. See attached screen shot of unauthorized payment transfers. Thank you for your assistance.
I haven't used my Capital One credit card for a while, after I paid the balance in full. Since then, which was almost a year ago, I have been trying to change my statement delivery settings to US Mail instead of by email, because I wanted to receive my statement in paper form so that I would not miss a payment. I have made many unsuccessful attempts to change my statement delivery method to US Mail since then, which seemed to be a simple action with every other financial institution. Because what I realized after trying many times, different days and different times of the day, using different browsers thinking that their website might not work with the one I have been using, Capital One deliberately created a glitch or malfunction of their website link that when you try to change your statement delivery preferences to US Mail, you get the following pop-up " We've Hit a Snag '' ( please find the screenshot attached ), meaning, sorry can't do. I would have not bothered to address this issue if this has happened once or twice, but I have been trying to change my preferences for months now and I got tired of it because I almost missed a payment due to not receiving my email billing statement because I had issues with my email address. I will actually contact an attorney to check this violation out. Consumers should be able to receive their billing statements the way they choose, whether it's by US Mail or email, and I have been deprived of that choice for a long time now, and I am sure, so did many others. Last digits of account number are in the screenshot for Cap. One to refer to and retrieve how many attempts I made over the time to change my preferences ( if they are willing to open a can of worms ).
I have received a letter from the First National Collection Bureau. They have sent this letter for a company named XXXX concerning a debt that was on my credit report in the past and charged off on XXXX/XXXX/2007 according to this letter form First National Collection Bureau. With that being the case any statutes of limitation has run it 's course. 
XXXX XXXX has received letter 's in the past from my attorney to cease collection efforts and they agreed with letter to my attorney. Now they are using this other company to collect an uncollectible debt. XXXX XXXX is well aware of this and this is an illegal attempt to collect an uncollectible debt. This is an attempt at scamming me, If I was not aware of the law, I would not know what to do. This company, First National Collection Bureau does not preform it 's due diligence before it sends out it 's notices. If they had they would see that this is uncollectible yet they try to scam people on a regular basis. I know several people that have had this company try to collect uncollectable debts. They even offer a " convenient '' repayment plan for those that are unaware of the law. 
This to me seems to be in violation of the fair credit reporting act, violation of the Fair Debt collection Practices Act and is probably in violation of Oregon state law as well.
Capital One put a block on my Capital One 360 card due to fraudulent activity. They told me they would send a new card within 3-5 business days. However, they originally sent me a card with the exact same card number so they had to send me out another card which I still haven't received and now I am going on the 6th business day with no access to my checking account. Capital One originally offered to expedite a new card to me for a {$25.00} fee. That is my complaint. This is an unfair practice. They should not charge me a fee in order to access my account.  They should be willing to get my card to me as fast as possible in order to access the funds in my account after fraudulent activity has occurred in it.
I was pressured by this company stating that I HAD to sign up with them to be on the student loan forgiveness program and that if I did not do it now my payments would not be going to the forgiveness program. They also had stated on the phone to me that as I have worked for a non-profit organization for the last two years that they would be able to get it so those payments fell under my student loan repayment program. I was also told that it would be {$1300.00} in set payments over two years that the company would receive for annually filing the paperwork for me and making sure my payments were correct. They have also attached 20 % interest rate.ONLY after speaking with the Federal Department of Education did I realize this was a free service and could be done at anytime through them. I was never once told by the company that these things could be done directly through the department of education and I could file for the forgiveness program at anytime. I was also told they could consolidate my loans for me which would improve my credit score. Not only did their report decrease my credit score as it reported as a credit card which this is not. They could not consolidate my loans because that is something only the federal student aide program could do.
RE : sears credit card # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Last for digit SS # ; XXXX Under settlement and as suggested by citibank I tried to pay {$600.00} remaining balance but I could not make payment via XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/2016 between XXXX and XXXX ET I spent more than a hour to reach right person to make payment. They kept on transferring my call one to the next and eventually cut me off two times. Only GOD can have mercy. Please give an address to mail $ XXXX, so that will be the end of the matter. CFPB can verify what is stated here using my account number, etc. This is really bad.
