On XX/XX/XXXX, a person called me without identifying themselves as a debt collector and asked me to identify myself. He proceeded provide my social security number and address and state that I had a debt with XXXX. I stated I have no memory of any such debt nor do I any such company on my credit report ( I know every creditor on my report and I have NO derogatory accounts on it at this time ). He stated that it had fallen off my credit report. He then said he could prove by his data that I was a " XXXX ''. He then proceeded to tell me that if I did not pay him right then he would file a wage garnishment that day and I would have to " Burn my debit card '' because he would empty my bank account. I then asked him if he had obtained a judgement against me in the courts he said no. I called him out on that since he would need a court order to garnish me. At this point the person hung up on me. 

I called the company back asking for the name, address and license information for the company. The person who answered the phone stated the company was ARA Inc but refused to provide further information about the company. I felt at this time the company was a scam but I have since received letter from the company. I am in the midst of requesting validation of the debt but I felt that this initial attempt to collect debt was sufficiently predatory to merit a complaint on it's own for the following reasons : 1. The caller did not identify themselves as a debt collector.

2. They refused to provide their company information when requested.

3. They threatened immediate action for which they did not have legal standing in an attempt to intimidate me.

4. Called me derogatory names in an attempt to shame me.
XXXX, serviced by ACS, is demanding payment of a debt they can not prove we owe them. Our attorney asked that we demand the servicing agreement from ACS/XXXX XXXX proving ACS/XXXX XXXX proving there is a debt. XXXX XXXX refuses to provide that servicing agreement to us or to our attorney. My wife receive a phone call on a SUNDAY from someone in upper management at XXXX XXXX telling her XXXX XXXX wants their money ( over {$50000.00} ) and that they are NOT going to provide us any proof of that debt. ACS/XXXX XXXX is registering on my credit as a delinquent debt with rolling late payments and it is the ONLY thing between us and being able to buy a home again, after years of trying to recover financially from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. We have never made any payments to XXXX XXXX. Not ever. They can not prove this debt exists. We need this debt removed from my credit immediately if we are to purchase a home again.
I applied for, received, and began using a new XXXX 's credit card. One feature of the card that I found attractive was the ability to check the balance and pay the bill online. I was dismayed to find the website will not allow you to use these features if the account is past due ; this policy is not mentioned on the website and a vague error message gives no indication of what has gone wrong. The credit card user is put in the Catch-22 : they can not pay their bill online until the bill is already paid. This policy makes little business sense to me ( why should any company make it harder for them to get paid? ). It leads me to wonder if the policy is a deliberate attempt to make payments difficult so as to increase consumer late fees.
I still see a debt owed to Coast Professional on my credit report in the amount of {$2600.00}. This account has been paid in full for over a year. When I contact Coast Professional, they will confirm that I do not owe them any money but they will not provide written confirmation of any sort. 

This has resulted in my being turned down for a mortgage and paying thousands of extra interest on my auto loan due to an unfavorable rate offered because I credit score was damaged by this erroneous item.
Sent Equifax multiple letter in reffrence to this account and it shows on my credit report a monthly payment of XXXX
I was advised SallieMae loan company by my school in XX/XX/2016. The company never went into details on repayment options and promised low interest fees. I was told that I was given a " low interest of 9 % '' for my loan. When i made my first payment I was told that i would be only paying a monthly interest fee of about $ XXXX and after almost a year of making the monthly interest fee, I noticed on my account the scheduled fee per month is {$260.00}. For the past year, I have been desperately trying to make $ 300-500 payments to avoid damaging my credit. I have never been given straight forward information about my monthly fee and my balance has not really decreased very much. Their interest rates are insanity. I still am unclear about my loan repayment plan and yet need answers.
Cavalry Portfolio Services LLC as assignee of Cavalry SPV I , LLC ; is attempting to collect a false debt and also falsely suing me for debt that is not mine ; that I never had ; as I have never owned or had a XXXX XXXX account that Calvary states they purchased from XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$3700.00}. Calvary Portfolio Services claims I owe this debt and has attempted to collect the debt through bank levy. Court files show they have been pursuing me since XX/XX/XXXX and filed suit in XX/XX/XXXX without my knowledge and without ever contacting me. Cavalry and it's associates makes claims to proof of service by substituted service in XX/XX/XXXX at an address I no longer lived at. Cavalry has been attempting to collect and sue/take me to court ; all without my knowledge using an old address to pretend to contact me until XX/XX/XXXX in which I received notice from the county recorder of an involuntary lien recorded. On XX/XX/XXXX I called Cavalrys ' Collections Attorney ; XXXX XXXX XXXX to receive information and dispute debt. They stated I now owe {$7200.00} ; which is a misrepresentation and not what is stated in the lawsuit. I sent a dispute letter and request for validation of debt by certified mail to both Cavalry and XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX in which they both received. XXXX XXXX XXXX sent me their first correspondence ever stating they were attempting to collect a debt. The amount stated over the phone and on paper are different. The information provided in their correspondence to me does not belong to me ; nor are there any documentation of proof showing that I had such account or that there is a debt owed by me. The file sent to me was incomplete, unverifiable, and inaccurate and the dates do not match up nor are there any signatures or valid information to link me to this false account. Calvary filed in XX/XX/XXXX an abstract of judgment against me which should be stopped immediately. I only know of this recent file by way of the county recorder. Calvary has been attempting to collect a false debt since XX/XX/XXXX. Cavalry obtained a default judgment in which I never knew about in XX/XX/XXXX by using a previous address so that I could not dispute or fight for my rights. A debt collector must serve you with notice of a lawsuit if it sues you. And if it gets a default judgment against you because it failed to serve you with notice of the lawsuit, it is prohibited from trying to collect on that judgment. Collectors are not able to collect phantom debts ; this is violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Saying I owe a nonexistent debt is in violation.
I have contacted Meridian Financial Services and inform them that this debt is not my debt that this invoice which I received on XX/XX/2018for the very first time needs to be verified with the timeshare company which is XXXX XXXX but they have refused instead they request I call XXXX XXXX there client and inform them that this debt is not mines.
I had a collection debt with XXXX that was being reported on my credit report by a collection agency named Ad Astra. In XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Ad Astra and reached a settlement agreement to resolve this debt. The settlement arrangement was funded on XX/XX/2018. For some reason, Ad Astra is still reporting that I owe {$480.00} to XXXX XXXX, even though I settled this debt two months ago.
I 've had the AMEX XXXX card for seven years and it 's always been a nightmare of an experience when things go wrong. Customer service refuses to admit to mistakes and refuses to correct them. They blame the " computer '' and act like they have no way to help if the computer does n't allow it. 
My story started with a late fee. My payment due date was on a weekend and I had previously set up autopay for situations like this when I may not be available to make the payment in full manually. I was surprised when I saw the late fee and immediately paid my balance and called to see if I could have the late fee removed. It was a {$26.00} late fee assessed on an existing balance of {$39.00}. I explained that I 'd had the card for 7 years and never been late XXXX and the rep agreed and submitted a request to have the late fee removed. The system denied it. He was unable to or unwilling to tell me why it was denied. I spent an hour on the phone with an account supervisor and then an account manager. They were all rude and unhelpful. Fuming I went online to my account to set up autopay so this never happened again. This is when I noticed that I HAD already set up autopay, all my bank info was there and accurate, autopay was just turned off. So I called American Express back and explained that I would n't have a late fee if they had n't turned off my autopay. The rep submitted a request and told me that the request went through and I should see the amount post to my account in the next 2-3 business days. 2 weeks later I check my balance and notice that there was no such credit. I called American Express again. This time I talked to the rudest rep of all who just kept telling me that the late fee was a valid charge and there was nothing he could do about it. Sensing I was getting nowhere with this guy and tired of his rude attitude that was making me angry I asked to speak to a supervisor. After 10 min more a supervisor got on the phone and I spend 5-10 minuted rehashing all the details of my problem. She said that all she could do was again try to submit a request to the system to remove the late fee but gave no guarantees. She put me on hold and came back 5 min later saying that the system denied my request. She was also unable or unwilling to tell me why. At this point I gave up, told her that my experience with them had been terrible and I was a extemely unhappy customer. The fact they claim their system is so ridgid and in no case can they override its parameters is utterly unbelievable. I know they can, they just refuse to. I 've had worse account history with mastercard and visa accounts that HAVE reimbursed me for late fees when I call in. I 've said that I would never use this card again before and then been suckered into using it because XXXX ONLY accepts americanexpress for some reason. However this time I shredded the card and all my AMEX cards. I will go to great lengths to not use AMEX anymore. They are a terrible terrible company.
I have tried on numerous occasions to contact the credit companies and also credit bureaus to get these inquiries removed because they are unauthorized.
Equifax has been reporting mortgage loans from XXXX and XXXX with XXXX digits that are not mine. These loans were unilaterally created by XXXX and XXXX in XXXX 2011 thru XXXX 2011 and reported these loans as new loans applied for by me. they reported these loans the same way to XXXX and XXXX. none of these mortgage loans are mine and I never applied for them and never settled on them. they are new orginated loans unilaterally by XXXX with illegal account numbers that are not compliant with federal reserve regulations or XXXX practice in the banking industry. the only time that consumer protection laws and XXXX regulations allow for XXXX digits to be used for mortgage loans is for internal reporting and computer data storage only. not only is Equifax violating the FCRA but also colluding with XXXX bank and XXXX allegedly to report false mortgage loans while these loans have never been settled and have no loan docs for them attached is my attorneys second letter to Equifax that is stonewalling me on this issue. in addition the report shows that Equifax is making hard inquiries on my credit from their mortgage services company which I never applied to for anything which lowers my credit score significantly besides the false information about mortgage loans and reporting that I applied for these loans which I did not. Equifax is also in violation of their agreement with XXXX partner New York State Attorney General 's settlement agreement with Equifax that they will not continue to maintain false information on anyone 's credit file XXXX they continue to do this without impunity or enforcement or fines from any financial regulator or the federal trade commission.
In the XX/XX/XXXX, I was approved for a modification on a home that I have been paying on for almost 15 years. I made trial payments for three months on all three mortgages. I also had the help of an attorney during this tiime. 

It is documented, by Wells Fargo, and my attorney that the bank made false entries into my records regarding attempts to reach out to me and claimed that they were not able to reach me or were hung up on. This has been proven to be untrue. The bank has admitted fault in this regard. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, Wells Fargo requested that I submit finalized modification paper work. Considering the modification approvals a success, my attorney requested that Wells release representation from their firm. I called over and over trying to get my representative on the phone in order to ask questions regarding my paperwork on the 1st mortgage and have phone records showing my calls to Wells Fargo. I was finally able to get my representative ( XXXX ) on the phone. She explained that she could not answer questions or speak to me regarding my modification and and acknowledged that XXXX had received the release of representation from my attorney but that this had not been properly processed through the Wells systems. I expressed my concern with the date that papers were to be returned to Wells Fargo, she assured me that all was well and that she would call me withing a few days once the 'release ' was processed. Again, I asked about the date which was upon us for returning the papers and she told not to worry about the date and that all was well. She would call me soon and move things forward. 

After calling repeatedly, with no response, I was informed by letter in the US Mail that my modifications approvals had been retracted. 

Since then, I have been asking Wells Fargo to, through open cases to please review call logs and to reinstate my modifications. This has not happened. 

I borrowed money from family in order to bring loans current in XX/XX/XXXX. My intentions are to stay in this home and satisfy my loans. However, Wells has made this nearly impossible with their missteps. I need help through this complaint.

There is a pre-foreclosure hearing now scheduled on the XX/XX/XXXX. Please help. I do not know what else to do to get the lender to work with me.
I received a copy of my credit report and found there is a bankruptcy reporting on my credit. I have never filed for bankruptcy and request that you have this removed from my credit report.
The account representatives at Navient ( formerly Sallie Mae ) have provided me with false information regarding the terms of my private student loans. They stated that the loans have entered the repayment period as I have supposedly reached a limit for in-school deferment. I informed the customer account representative that I am currently in school, full-time at an eligible university ( who provided the necessary enrollment verification documents to Navient ), and he responded that there is no way I could still be in school full-time after this many years. His response was not only offensive, but inaccurate, as I am currently enrolled in year 4 of a 6-year XXXX program ( + 4 years of XXXX education and 2 years of graduate training for my XXXX XXXX ). 

I have thoroughly reviewed the promissory notes for these loans and there is no mention of a maximum number of years in which a borrower is eligible for in-school deferment, and in fact, had the deferment been automatically granted ( as the promissory notes state it should have been given my continuous full-time enrollment ), then this loan should not have gone into repayment at this time. Furthermore, the account representative I spoke to most recently strong-armed me into committing to making monthly payments in order to avoid defaulting on this loan ( which was in fact, not eligible for default per the promissory note ). As a result, I have unduly suffered late fees, additional costs and interest, and damage to my credit score. I sent this information to the customer advocacy department at Navient and they responded stating that they only allow 48 months in-school deferment time. This information is not listed in the promissory note or any agreement that I signed or received. Furthermore, the loans they are referring to were disbursed in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ( far more than 48 months ago ), yet this is the first I am hearing of this 48 month limit. 

Their actions have violated the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act in numerous ways. They have continued to call me ( on my cell phone and at my graduate student office at school ) and my co-signer 6-7 times a day, every single day. They have threatened me with garnishing my wages and with litigation ( even though the statute of limitations has expired on these loans and it is against the law to threaten litigation on time-barred debt ). They have also provided false information about the legal status of my loan ( stating that it was going to default at XXXX that very day if I did not make an immediate payment ).
National Credit Systems , Inc., need to remove the {$1900.00} debt by a company that does not exist XXXX XXXX and neither was I notified of this debt by either party. I would like this item removed from my credit report immediately.
I took out this montage in XXXX XXXX and paid it off with the sale of the property in XXXX XXXX. When I try to get back into my online account to change my address so that the Tax documents will get to the correct address it tells me I no longer have access to the account. I just logged in early XXXX. When I call customer service they say the loan can not be found and asked me to provide my social security via email.
I was billed {$270.00} by XXXX XXXX XXXX which I paid by my check No XXXX dated XXXX XXXX, 2015. My check cleared my bank account on XXXX XXXX, 2015. I subsequently received a debt collection notice dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 from Transworld Systems Inc., Collection Agency, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, PA XXXX, correspondence to be sent to XXXX, DE. I have since received further collection notices dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 and XXXX XXXX, 2015, despite the fact I advised the collection agency on XXXX XXXX, 2015 that I dispute the debt because it has been paid.
I closed on my home on XX/XX/2018, with XXXX XXXX servicing my mortgage. I was notified on XX/XX/2018, that my mortgage was sold to Amerihome. I immediately registered for an online account for Amerihome to attempt to establish a payment for my bill due XX/XX/XXXX. The option to make a payment was not available in my online account at that time ; therefore I contacted customer service who told me verbally that I would have to wait until after XX/XX/XXXX because my account was too new to make a payment that was due XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX2, I attempted to log into my account and my account had been deactivated ; and when I attempted to register a new account, the system would not allow me to do so based on the fact that I had an existing account. At that time, I attempted to call customer service, which was closed. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called customer service and spoke to a representative who told me I have " stops '' placed on my account until XX/XX/XXXX, which block me from accessing my online account and making payments through the automatic phone system until after XX/XX/XXXX. Meanwhile, I have a bill due on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, while I am blocked from making payments online and through the automatic phone system. The customer service representative informed me that the only way to make a payment that is not made through the website or the automatic phone payment system, is through a customer service representative who will charge me an additional {$5.00} service fee to process my payment. In summary, I am blocked from making timely payments online or through the phone system, I am also blocked from establishing an automatic monthly withdrawal from my checking account, compelled to pay an extra fee to make a payment through the customer service representative ( which is the only option available to me ), and do not expect have access to my online account until XXXX. Furthermore, I had planned to make an extra payment to the principal each month, as I had done previously before my loan was transferred, and I am blocked from doing so without paying the additional compulsory fee ; therefore, the mortgage lender is charging me additional interest and PMI charges than I would otherwise pay, if I had full access to my account and was allowed to make additional payments to principal.
Hello, I have spoken with Discover Financial a handful of times since I 've been with them. Roughly about 1 year ago I called asking them to please consider lowering my interest rate since it 's so high and it was becoming financially stressful to make the payment. My request was declined, but I was informed I would be notified in the future if I would qualify for a lower interest rate. About 3-4 months after that I received a letter that I understood informed me my interest rate would change from 16.99 % to 12.99 % as they have reconsidered the request I originally made and I would just need to wait a couple billing cycles to see the changes. Of course I was very happy and I waited a couple billing cycles but I did n't see any changes. I called discover about 2-3 months after receiving the letter and was advised by a MALE that the changes were pending but I would receive a letter informing of the changes and the amount I would be refunded since my request was being backtracked to the original date i request an interest rate reduction. The MALE i spoke with made some calculations and said i would be getting a refund of {$600.00} - {$700.00} and my new rate would be the 12.99 % as the letter stated and i was very happy to hear that. I waited and waited and I did n't see any changes so I called Discover a couple weeks ago and the first FEMALE I spoke with transferred me to a supervisor. The supervisor was very polite but she had bad news. She found the letter i mentioned to her and she said the MALE agent I spoke with provided inaccurate information. She said my interest rate increased to 16.99 % and I would not be receiving a refund at all. She did help me a little by crediting some interest but there are no changes being made to my interest rate or a refund being sent which is what I was told. This is very upsetting because I called Discover and the agent read the letter with me and explained all the benefits with interest rate reduction and a refund being sent and it was all a lie.
