I was alerted by XXXX, XXXX and XXXX that the collection agency by the name of Harvard Collection added two files to my credit report. I have disputed this in XX/XX/XXXX and again in XX/XX/XXXX with the aforementioned credit bureaus due to the fact I have never signed a contact or have an account with Harvard Collection. To no avail they did nothing. In XX/XX/XXXX I sent a letter asking the company to verify and validate said files. Attached is the letter that was sent. No contract bearing my signature was sent which was stated in the letter that was sent. It is illegal to have this on my credit report and I dont have a contact with them.
I had XXXX in XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. The total charge was {$18000.00}. I had to use XXXX credit cards to pay the charge. {$17000.00} on XXXX and {$1800.00} on Chase. The merchant or bank in XXXX charged my cards three times for the amounts above. XXXX was legitimate, the XXXX XXXX they refunded in XXXX, XXXX and the XXXX XXXX was an issue getting it back. However XXXX was diligent and was able to get the third charge returned. Chase has denied the third charge as being a dispute and told me it was my issue. Now they are also saying it 's been too long and they ca n't do anything about it. ( {$1800.00} ). I have been in contact with Chase every week or multiple times a week by e-mail and phone and even sent a registered packet with all the documentation showing there is only XXXX charge - period. I even have an e-mail from the merchant stating the " total '' is {$18000.00}. I did n't know where else to turn.
In  XXXX  or  XXXX  I opened a  Sears  credit card account, used it once initially and paid it off and did n't use it again until  XXXX  of  XXXX . Accrued a balance of ~ {$130.00}, paid it down to ~ {$50.00} in  XXXX   XXXX , the next time I logged on to the credit card management website it said that my balance was  XXXX . I did not keep track of how close my balance was to  XXXX  so I just figured I had paid it off already and did n't need to bother looking at it again. Around  XXXX   XXXX  I received an email from  Sears  saying my account balance was overdue, so I log in and there is a  Sears Mastercard a ccount ( in addition to the original  Sears  Card account I had applied for ) with a balance of about {$95.00} :  XXXX  was transferred from my old account, and {$27.00} late fees x2.  XXXX   XXXX  was the first time I discovered the existence of this account, the first time I was aware that a previous balance was transferred over to it, the first time I knew it was overdue for  two  consecutive months. I then get an email from a credit monitoring service I pay for through another credit card and see that my  credit scor  XXXX  had dropped nearly  XXXX  points for a delinquent account. I do n't even have a physical copy of this card.     I spoke to Sears customer support today on the phone and they insisted they sent out mailers and the card to the address on file and said there was nothing I could do because of that and the fact that they had never received any returned mail.     My problem is that a new credit card account was opened in my name without my consent instead of being " upgraded '' like  Sears  customer support said it would be, and balances were being transferred to it without my knowledge or receiving any indications or notifications of anything happening and now my  credit score is significantly damaged because I did not make   payments on an account that I did not know was even open under my name until 2 days ago.     Attachments :  1. Sears credit card management page - shows nothing in recent activity to include the transfer between this account and the new one opened without my consent 2. S ame page as picture above showing the last statement available to me being the  XXXX  from  XXXX   XXXX .    XXXX .  XXXX   XXXX  statement 4. Enrolled in paperless statements AND letters - never received any emails about any changes to my account.
As reflected in the attached letter dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX states, on its Company letterhead, " We previously sent you a letter on XX/XX/XXXX as a first notice of placing your account with collections with PDQ Services, Inc ''. Their response that it was with another agency to my complaint is completely inaccurate and false. The actual letter sent by PDQ is attached, for the second time, to this complaint as proof to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection that PDQ did in fact hold the debt and try to collect on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. PDQ is using ruthless tactics and bad faith when listing the date as occurring on XXXX XXXX instead of XXXX XXXX. This keeps the account listed on my credit report for an additional 2 years as a collection and delinquency -- there 's extending the credit reporting date. PDQ 's possible subsequent re-acquisition date with the dental clinic is PDQ 's complication, not mine, the consumer. PDQ must update the credit file to reflect the accurate date of initial collection as XXXX XXXX, XXXX, not XXXX XXXX, XXXX as it is currently listed on my credit file. Next, as reflected on the attached bill dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX, the account balance is {$490.00}, not the {$370.00} as stated above in their response to my complaint. Once again, acting in bad faith by trying to collection more than the actual bill. How does the Company explain the difference? The bill is for {$240.00}. Not {$370.00}. I will file a separate complaint against the dental clinic. This Company, PDQ, is ruthless and harassing in its collection efforts. Do they inflate the amount owed and prey on consumers that have hit hard times, then later " settle for an amount '' less than the stated value, thereby tricking the consumer? The issues : The Company is purposefully reporting this account as first going into collections on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, after the initial letter written by them on XXXX XXXX, XXXX thereby adding 1 year, 10 months and XXXX additional days to report and collect the debt. The response from PDQ is dishonest and inaccurate when stating they did n't have the collection account in XX/XX/XXXX as the letter written on the PDQ letterhead proves otherwise. This Company must accurately reflect the initial date of collection. Id like an investigation into their billing and reporting practices to find out how many consumers they have practiced these ruthless and unethical tactics with.
I became delinquent on my mortgage when my father became XXXX XXXX. I had to assist with his medicines and care. 
I request a mortgage modification several times from my mortgage company to keep my home. Rushmore has refused to assist me with saving my home. Spoke with XXXX today Ext XXXX, Rushmore customer service and he stated the loan modification was denied because they didn't see sufficient funds for the down payment and the file was denied. XXXX  was unwilling to assist with help. I have not received any documentation from Rushmore in regards to the modification nor have they requested any funds.
I experienced a permanant separation from my spouse of XXXX years. I 've explained this to Ally Financial as I struggled to catch up on payments over the past XXXX  months. Their reasoning for not being able to offer XXXX type of assistance is due to the age of the loan. It 's only XXXX months old. I 've explained to them that since the separation, which was completely unforeseen, my expenses have understandably doubled since I 'm responsible paying all bills myself. I definitely do not want to lose my vehicle, but I 'm met with constant threats and intimidation tactics from Ally representations. They continually ask me for the reasons I 'm running behind on payments, do they not understand that people experiencing a separation after that amount of time might have difficulty getting thing back on track. I 'm am continuosly given incorrect or misleading information regarding their collections process, some reps say my vehicle will be XXXX XXXX immediately, others give differing variations of the process that are inconsistent and could harm consumers.
On XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased a 7-day fare-lock service for a XXXX flight with my Discover card. The automatic purchase was not selected at the time of the purchase. Prior to fare lock expiration, I purchased the ticket using the XXXX credit service. After the purchase I received notification from XXXX regarding the recent purchase from XXXX. I chose XXXX due to the promotional offer of 0 % APR for 6 months for purchases over {$99.00}. I noticed the charge on my Discover card several days after the initial purchase. My XXXX credit account is not linked to my Discover credit card. I contacted Discover, XXXX and XXXX XXXX about the use of the incorrect card, initiated by XXXX XXXX, for the purchase of the flight ticket. XXXX stated the charge was pending due to XXXX not taking the necessary steps to confirm the payment. I gave XXXX all relevant information I gathered from XXXX including transaction ID information and was assured by XXXX that an investigation would take place and a resolution would be found. I called XXXX XXXX additional times and was told an investigation was underway. During this time I am also disputing the charge on my Discover account because I did not initiate the flight purchase transaction using my Discover card. I cancelled the flight due to the impending investigation. I am continuing to dispute the transaction on my Discover card because I did not initiate the transaction on my Discover card and XXXX has also supplied information verifying this fact.
I have paid on my student loan, taken out for XXXX for 7 years and despite being in good standing making my payments I have paid off Negative 12 percent of my student loan. According to my calculations I have paid over {$15000.00} and I still owe more than the loan was taken out for. I have called them countless times over the years and they refuse to do anything. At times they would let me pay {$100.00} to not have to pay for 3 months but I still accumulated interest. I think I did this once or twice. I have begged them for loan payment options and was berated every time, they said because my parents co signed 2 of my 2 loans I can not lower my payment unless THEY ca n't afford the payment, even my biggest loan that I talked about above that is not co signed by anyone. How can I pay something for 7 years and be in the negatives for repayment? They have lied to me so many times and never have any help.
TAKE JUDICIAL NOTICE OF CASES : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Equifax has continued to violate the law as there continues to show a Public Record that is not furnished or reported from a reliable source with 1st hand knowledge. 

Also anyone can produce a phone number to the court but WHO did you speak to at the court to verify the accuracy of this Public Record and furthermore the courts DO NOT SEND DATA TO YOUR FIRM!! 

XXXX  and XXXX  both have removed the public record ... .why are you still causing me harm and damage? 

The New Jersey class action claimed Equifax violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by sending letters that falsely told consumers that it confirms the veracity of disputed public-record information by contacting the source a county court, in this instance directly. 
In reality, however, Equifax never directly contacts the public-information sources, and uses a third-party company to investigate the disputed information, the suit claimed. 
In response to a consumers dispute regarding the accuracy of a public record, it [ Equifax ] never contacts the original source of the information, but rather contacts the private independent company that it never discloses to the consumer, according to the suit. 
Under a settlement agreement given final approval by U.S. District Judge XXXX XXXX Wednesday, Equifax will not represent that the government and/or any court or courthouse is a furnisher of information in response to a consumers dispute ; will not represent that the government and/or any court or courthouse was contacted directly by Equifax in connection with any consumers dispute ; and will not represent that the government and/or any court or courthouse actually investigated a consumers dispute. 
Lead class counsel will receive over {$1.00} million, and the three class representatives will receive {$15000.00} apiece, according to the terms of the settlement.
We were under the impression that the credit bureaus were supposed to conduct an investigation, and respond with the results, within 30 days of investigation request. My husband I submitted an investigation request two months ago, and neither of us have heard back yet. We feel like our rights are being violated.
Citizens Bank used my credit info to deny my wife 's application to upgrade her XXXX phone. My wife decided XX/XX/2016 to use the apple upgrade portal through apple computer to get a new phone. Its her account only. Nothing to do with me. She entered her personal info ( not mine ) in the application. When it came time to pay the XXXX fee to upgrade she used my XXXX card. Somehow by using my XXXX card it triggered Citizens Bank into pulling my credit report twice. They denied her application by using my credit. i did n't authorize it. She did n't authorize it. No personal info of mine was shared. I 'm not a client of Citizens. They are getting people to apply for credit without them knowing. Its a FRAUD!
* I bought an XXXX XXXX ticket which showed me total ticket price of XXXX * I paid this payment by one of my bank of america credit card ending with XXXX XXXX Now the bank of america shows a Foreign transaction fee of XXXX. 
Complain : I am in USA physically, open the website in usa, bought ticket while I was in USA, XXXX XXXX site does not state that the transaction will take place out side USA, bank of america does not say that this site will be considered a foreign transaction, then why I am being charged. Bank of america should clearly state me on each charge that this would be extra fee or say this is foreign transaction. 
Website itself does not declare it. Pls assist me getting these fee back. 
Thanks, XXXX.

The collections agency is using fabricated altered documents to validate a debt that they say I owe in the amount of {$4700.00}. I did live at the apartments in XX/XX/2011, but there was never a balance due in the amount being reported on my credit. The documents attached are documents the collections agency forwarded to me to try and prove their case but after reviewing the documents I realized the documents had in fact been altered. I am also planning to have an attorney to review these documents because I feel that what has happened to me concerning this issue has been extremely unfair. The amount they are asking is invalid I never owed the company this much money ever! The documents the collections agency provided had no return address on them, no contact number, and no agents signature from the original creditor, the documents the collections agency provided me as proof is totally invalid and the original creditor has no records of the debt and it farther proves that I never owed this money. The original creditor has never charged this much for any of their apartments. The dates and the amounts are invalid. I do not owe this money and I want it to stop being reported on me credit because it is having a negative effect. When I asked the representative about these documents she told me that she had a signed lease and that 's all she needed and she would list me as a refusal to pay. I told her that I disagreed with the authenticity of the documents and I was not going to send her company any more money concerning this debt. She was rude in all email correspondences she told me that there was no need for me to email her again, and she has been consistent with trying to collect this debt from me. She believes that she can collect this money from me because of the lease I signed in XX/XX/2011 which I did sign but the amounts have been changed they are not the same, and the dates do not match my recollection of the actual lease agreement that was signed. I know what an altered document looks like and the documents she sent me have been altered.

I opened a cashback checking account with Discover Bank and made an initial deposit of {$25.00} dollars via ACH transfer from my XXXX account. It took Discover Bank approximately 24-48 hours to take the funds and an entire week to release the funds to me. I then proceeded to make another ACH transfer for {$25.00} which was removed from my XXXX bank account onXX/XX/XXXX.  Discover Bank will not give me access to my money until XX/XX/XXXX. They are holding my money for more than 2 weeks. On XX/XX/XXXX i called customer service and i was basically told " oh well '' " that 's when you 'll get your money. '' I was informed that THEY " Discover Bank '' had to make sure my ACH request was n't fraudulent. I told the customer service rep that i would be more than happy to get XXXX on the phone with them, so they could verify me. Discover said NO .... So basically, I dont get access to any money i deposit into this predatory bank until whenever THEY feel like releasing it. Discover Bank should be investigated and fined for that kind of activity. My account number at Discover Bank is XXXX and the last four of my social is XXXX.
Our household came under financial duress from a business failure temporarily keeping us from making mortgage payments with PHH Mortgage. We re-established income, completed the offered forbearance plan, and immediately applied for loan modification in order to get a reasonable payment. Since XXXX, PHH has intentionally blocked our application for ( 9 months ) through repeated use of bogus rejection reasons. They have now issued a Notice of Default through a lawyer, in an attempt to force us into selling our home. 
Research shows our case is not isolated. We need relief to prevent PHH from forcing us out of our home.
On XX/XX/2016 XXXX CST, I recieved a call from XXXX, claiming to have a " collection matter '' that was placed with Statewide Credit Corp , in XXXX IN.

The female caller became very abusive, and I terminated the call.
I have a number of student loans and the worst company to deal with by far is FEDLOAN Servicing. I have tried since XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX to get my student loans on extended level payment. Over the course of this, we have talked to many agents concerning this. We have also gotten many different answers, one hand does n't know what the other hand is doing. We were first told that we did n't qualify, then we did. Finally after numerous attempts, we finally thought it was right. We received the documents today in email and they still do n't have it right. half are correct and the other half is not. This is by far the worst student loan company I have to deal with. This comapny sucks the life and time out of you, over and over. Ridiculous, I need to get this right and I am fed up with phone call after phone call, total waste of time and as far as I am concerned they are a SCAM. I am entitled to the repayment plan to reduce my payments over 25 years due to the fact of my low income. These people do n't seem to want to provide what entitlements we have as tax payers.
I have XXXX different men show up at my residence harassing me after business hours. The nights of XXXX/XXXX/2015 and XXXX/XXXX/2015. They have both attempted to " serve '' me with fake court documents that were not sealed or delivered properly.

XXXX refused to correct my credit file from previously deleted information. Deleted files were removed in XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX.

I submitted proof of my address and this should be corrected immediately. Finally, I reported several times to XXXX that XXXX XXXX  accounts were removed.
