I received a call from a company that would n't identify themselves and immediately started recording the call. I asked who it was, and they would n't say and started asking who I was. I told them I would n't say unless they identified themselves. It went back and forth like that several times until they finally identified themselves as XXXX Business Card. They were recording this entire time. 

It turned out I had missed a payment. 

My complaint is that when calls like this are made, they need to ( 1 ) identify themselves immediately and ( 2 ) ask permission before they start recording. Neither happened. If this is not a requirement, it should be. 

I am also now concerned that XXXX has flagged my account as a collection problem or as an uncooperative customer. 

In a world where people are increasingly getting scammed by callers who are insistent or downright bullying, there is plenty of reason to not trust someone who calls and exhibits these same behaviors. And it most definitely should be prohibited for any credit card company to use these tactics, which puts them in the same league as phone and online criminals.
The following credit inquiries appeared on my Equifax credit report that are the result of fraud/identity theft. I 'm seeking assistance in the immediate removal of these inquiries from my Equifax credit report : XXXX XXXX XXXX made on XXXX/XXXX/16 ; XXXX XXXX made on XXXX/XXXX/16 ; XXXX XXXX made on XXXX/XXXX/16. In addition, I have a fraud alert filed on XXXX/XXXX/16 with Equifax alone with a policy report completed on XXXX/XXXX/16. I 've even completed a formal investigation request with the FTC as my identity has been stolen and my personal information has been sold to potentially multiple people. Your assistance in getting these inquiries removed from my Equifax Credit Report is appreciated.
I received this collection debt saying I owe {$130.00} including penalty fees. I says that the creditor is from an electric company. I did not open a account with an electric company. I have been a victim of identity theft in the past ever since I entered my personal information on the internet and did not have virus protection on my computer.
Received an unsolicited postal mail, and subsequently an additional " Don't Miss Out '' mailing, with an offering of a Citibank AA Platinum Select Credit card with a unique invitation number attached on XX/XX/XXXX with an expiration deadline of XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX bonus miles after requirements met, etc. 

THOUROUGHLY read every word on every side of the tri-fold mail piece and especially the terms and conditions and ALL fine print. Went to the referenced application website and put in the invitation number. Application form pre populated with the current and correct personal information. Went through the complete application process and was directed to read and acknowledge ( two mandatory check boxes ) that I had read and understood all terms and conditions and cardmember agreements. I had and did acknowledge. NO WHERE in this print and online application process does it disclose that the bonus mileage offer, of XXXX miles upon meeting the terms and conditions of {$4000.00} spent on qualifying purchases in the first 4 months of card ownership, would be NOT awarded to any person currently having, or have had, the same Citibank card within the previous 24 month period. I had heard of this from forums and blogs on the subject. I wanted to verify. 

So, prior to submittal, I further called the customer service line for Citibank credit cards at ( XXXX ) XXXX and spoke at length about this exclusion. The representative stated that this 24 month exclusion was standard policy but since the printed offer and personalized invitation number was sent directly to me, it may not apply. She referred me/transferred me to the over-the-phone application center. They said that the 9 digit invitation number did not register on their system even though it was valid on the dedicated application website. Could not answer any questions as to the omission and knew nothing of the policy. Escalated to XXXX, floor supervisor, employee number XXXX, who offered nothing further and said that it could not be escalated further. He wanted to complete the circle by sending me back to Citibank customer service. 

All this within an hour of XXXX XXXX. on XX/XX/XXXX. 

No disclosure or any mention of this exclusion anywhere at anytime in applying for this particular card through a direct solicitation by postal mail. If you didn't know it previously, you could be awarded the card, met the requirement for the bonus award, and receive NOTHING. 

Need to stop direct solicitation of previous card holders ( that Citibank had knowledge of ) with offers designed to bring them back under false, undisclosed, pretenses.
western union repeatedly charged me XXXX per transaction when I would send money theru theyre website where i was offered a {$5.00} sending fee they said they reimburse never did
Equifax mishandled my personal information including Name, Social Security #, Address, Birthdate, etc. resulting in a data breach in XXXX/XXXX 2017 that they confirmed I was affected by per their " Potential Impact '' site www.equifaxsecurity2017.com. 

They have put myself and millions of others at risk of identity theft/fraud due to negligent security protocols in handling consumer information. They are further attempting to capitalize on the situation by signing injured parties THEY are responsible for up for " trial periods '' of their ID protection services. 

They are simultaneously defrauding these injured parties with hidden terms of service that waive their right to sue the company in what is clearly a situation of criminal negligence/fraudulent behavior as indicated by the three Equifax executives that dumped stock immediately prior to the data breach announcement. 

I demand that they rectify this by making credit freezing free and refunding everyone who paid for it following this data breach. The negligent loss of personal information of nearly 200 million consumers is an unconscionable breech of ethical behavior by this company and it is further unreasonable that  they are not directly notifying every single person affected by this regardless of their questionable " judgment '' of who to contact.
ALL CRA REPORTING PUBLIC RECORDS ON CREDIT REPORT ... I NEVER HAD ANY BANKRUPTCY AND ALL AGENCIES REPORTING INCORRECT " PACER '' DATA ON FILE/ NOT MY ACCOUNT ..CASE # XXXX..VIOLATES FCRA  PROVISION 604,605,607,611 AND 623 ( A ) ... REMOVE FROM CREDIT REPORT ASAP [
There were XXXX unauthorized charges on my chase credit card account. I contacted Chase and initially they credited my account while they were doing their investigation. Later after about 2 months they told me that the charges were valid and charged my account. But I have told them over and over the charges were not mine and I never authorized the charges. The person who made the charges has a totally different name, living in a different state! I do n't know the person, I never authorized the person and I have no idea how that person used my Chase account number to subscribe to XXXX! 
Since XXXX XXXX, 2015, I have sent chase XXXX messages ( through their online customer service ) telling them again and again that the charges were not mine and every time they say they are looking at my issue and will get back to me in 2-3 days, but they never do.
In correspondence dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX I mailed this credit repository my request for a dispute, as my credit report contained a number of erroneous entries. 
Now that over 30 days have passed I have found this company barely investigated any items and my report is still largely incorrect. In addition, this company is claiming that the items I disputed have been verified ACCURATE and CORRECT which is not true. The XXXX account is fraudulent sent XXXX a copy of my FTC AFFIDAVIT, NOTARIZED, a police report filed my XXXX and letters requesting the account to be removed and blocked. XXXX 's confirmed that they received all these documents last XXXX XXXX and still is under investigation. So why claim that this item has been verified, correct and accurate??? Not removing this item is a direct violation of FCRA XXXX. For the XXXX XXXX account, Sent them a debt validation request, same date. Instead of sending me validation documents, they sent me a collection letter asking me to pay an amount that has already been paid. THESE ARE VIOLATIONS of FCRA and FDCPA by the credit repositories and the creditors. My rights to fairly acquire credit has been taken away by these companies!
I have been banking with Citibank for over 15+ years. In XXXX  2017 Citibank allowed a fraudulent transaction to go through with my checking account. A check was processed/debited from my checking account two times on different dates. The recipient of the initial check might have committed a fraudulent activity by redepositing a check that they deposited two months prior. Citibank allowed the check to clear my account the second time around and has yet to credit me back my money that was clearly stolen from me. It is now the end of XX/XX/XXXX and i have not gotten any feedback from Citibank. I will be removing all my money and changing mortgages once this is finalized. Citibank has shown me terrible customer service in this situation. Utterly disgusted with Citibank.
To whom it may concernI am having an issue with my mortgage company M & T Bank. I have had some family issues that involve my some medically that made us have to pull him out of daycare. My son now XXXX care of our XXXX sons. Now this has made us loose an income. So we have started a loan modification with M & T Bank. Here is where the problems start. The bank approved us for a loan modification. We had agreed on a price and I am already began paying the agreed to price. Now M & T Bank is telling me that there is a lien on the title and they can not do the loan modification. This so called lean they are saying was put on the title back in 2008. I did not even own any property back in 2008. I did have a judgment on me back in 2008 and a bankruptcy that followed that. I had the bankruptcy discharged in XXXX of 2008. Now M & T wants me to take care of this before they can move forward. This is just not possible. The judgment was part of the bankruptcy and is non collectable. After trying to go to the court house both the XXXX XXXX and bankruptcy courthouse there is nothing to be done on the case. I have already sent the final decree and the list of creditors that was on the bankruptcy to the mortgage company. I even went so far as to try and contact the original creditor that filed the judgment ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). That resulted in a run around. XXXX XXXX XXXX said that the case was closed and is showing that it was involved in the bankruptcy. Furthermore the case was not even in their files any more. The number on the judgment for the attorney does not even have that file anymore. So after all that I spoke to an attorney who stated that the only thing I need to provide M & T Bank is a copy of the petition and the final decree and talk to M & T Bank and ask to speak to a supervisor on who is reporting that there is a lien on the title. Well that also is not being furnished to me by M & T bank. The supervisor I spoke with told me it is a M & T supplied title company and they can not tell me who it is. M & T has been very frustrating in giving me information and also asking me to do an impossible task. Even if I had the XXXX dollars to pay this lien off its uncollectable and no one even has the case. Furthermore the attorney that I consulted with told me I do not need to hire an attorney that they get this all the time with title companies. That they do n't understand that a lien that was discharged in a bankruptcy can not be put on a title on a primary residence that was purchased at a later date as M & T Bank is saying that this is what happened. There is no way that a lien can be on the property from 2008 that I did not own until 2 and half years ago. Anyway I can not be the only person that this has happened to and being denied for a modification because of a personal non collectable judgment that is out in the county clerk.
Company continues to report inaccurate collection on my report., from company XXXX XXXX
I have a State Tax Lien, docket # XXXX, being reported on my credit report under the public records section. I have sent numerous letters disputing this lien to Equifax, providing proof of their violation of the FCRA. Their response is that it is being reported correctly via a 3rd party XXXX XXXX. This is a blatant violation of the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ). If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file. Being that the original creditor is the XXXX County circuit Court, and they DO NOT report ANY information to the Equifax Credit Bureau ( which i have a letter stating as such from the court ), they are in violation. Also, as of XXXX XXXX, 2017 credit bureaus were supposed to remove all public records that were judgements and Tax liens if they didnt correctly have all information such as 1. Date of Birth 2. SS # 3. Correct Address 4. Correct name This record shows no such information, nor does it have 3 of the 4 needed to stay on a report. I have provided a copy of the final letter i have sent to Equifax. In it, you will see detailed information and PROOF, that this public record needs to be removed. I remind Equifax, 3rd party verification, does not constitute proof that this is valid, it proves that you are in violation of my rights as a consumer.
After receiving several threatening phone calls from XXXX collection agency, I gave them bank information via email. They proceeded to collect on a debt which was previously paid. When I contacted the banks ( Bank of America and XXXX ), I provided the previous payment information, including a forgiveness of debt statement from the IRS. I let the banks know I was being called and threatened with arrest even though the bill was in dispute. Based on my email, those banks paid the collection agency. Now they are harassing me on the phone, they know I am XXXX and lost my job.
I have spoken to company, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. about this incorrect information on my credit report on or about XX/XX/XXXX also sent an email on the dated XX/XX/XXXX.This information was  sent to ATTN : Customer Service and XXXX XXXX my account representative for # XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that the company has decided to make XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX., ( who is primary on this loan ) to make myself XXXX XXXX XXXX ( second position ) co-equal on this loan as of XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX has put a {$19000.00} arrears on my credit report although I have been making consistent payments on this property for over 10 years, but there is not foreclosure on property. 
I hav n't received a payment coupon book in 10 years for this loan. The interest is 10 % on this loan. My loan was at 2 %, what happened? 
I believe this was done out of retaliation due to me refusing to refinance the loan with this company after, XXXX XXXX asked me four times in the same phone call. 
Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX
I contacted US Bank on XX/XX/XXXX to inquire about the process to pay off my auto loan as I wanted to sell my vehicle and needed it paid off and title in hand to do so. I received the payoff quote and after trying to pay it off online, which their website wouldn't allow, I called back to pay it off electronically, as they said it would be much quicker to receive the lien release on my title if I did an electronic funds transfer instead of mailing a check. I initiated an electronic funds transfer for the full payoff amount that day and was told by the US Bank representative that I spoke with that the lien would be released electronically to the California DMV within 2 business days and my title would be mailed directly from the DMV. I contacted US Bank again on XX/XX/XXXX as I checked the title electronically on the DMV 's website and confirmed that the lien had not yet been released. At that point in time I was first told that my title is not held electronically and that it could be up to 30 days before I receive it. I was upset and after the person spoke to someone else he returned and advised that he was incorrect, that the title was electronic and that the title would come from the DMV once they released it, but that they take approximately 7-10 days after receiving payment before releasing it. This is not what I was originally told and is jeopardizing my ability to sell my car. They told me they have to make sure the funds are valid and I don't stop payment, yet it was an electronic transfer and my funds cleared my account on XX/XX/XXXX. I also believe the DMV in California has a 3 business day requirement from receipt of payment before a lien has to be released and they are violating this requirement by holding my money and not releasing my lien. I also have been provided zero proof that I paid off my loan, they refuse to provide me with an email or fax confirmation/receipt and my loan has now disappeared entirely from my online account. I feel like I can't prove my loan was even paid off yet.
Keybank-I filed for bankruptcy XX/XX/XXXX and the loans were not part of it. Bank refunds payments. I call them and they say that they reviewed the loan and decided they would discharge it as a result of the bankruptcy XX/XX/XXXX, but XX/XX/XXXX. They did not contact me because it would seem they are trying to collect on a debt that was discharged. I told them I did not request that and why this was done. They told me that 's all they could say. Credit report says transferred to recovery ; claim filed with government. Is there anything I can do? I have n't missed payments ever. It makes no sense as this is something I owed and kept payment.
To Whom It May Concern : XXXX XXXX XXXX I have noticed that you have placed an inquiry on my Experian credit file dated XX/XX/2016. As you probably know, Credit Reporting Agencies treat inquiries as a statement of fact and will not allow a consumer to dispute them. Since it is against federal law ( Fair Credit Reporting Act -- 15 USC? 1681b ) for an  entity to view a consumer 's credit report without a " permissible purpose, '' I am writing to inquire as to your alleged purpose, for doing so since I did not apply for employment with your organization nor did I request credit from your organization. 

Experian report that you pulled a hard inquiry. 


Based on the evidence in my possession, this inquiry was performed under false pretenses as described in the clear language of the law. 15 USC? 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) states, in part, " in the case of liability of a natural person for obtaining a consumer report under false pretenses or knowingly without a permissible purpose, actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure are {$1000.00}, whichever is greater ; '' *****https : //www.consumerfinance.gov/XXXX*****
I reported an error & requested an investigation on my XXXX & Equifax credit report related to an account with XXXX XXXX # XXXX for the amount of {$330.00}. This account was for a hospital bill that belonged to my son and clearly states his name on the original document. They have refused to remove the item and/or re-investigate the account. I have even provided documentation and notified the original place of the bill to have my name removed from the account. Nothing has been done about this negative item on my account.
I have sent numerous debt validation notices and never received a response back from the creditor. As per the Fair Debt Collection Practice Act ( FDCPA ), a credit is supposed to response and no attempt to collect until they have responded. However, this creditor has not responded and is still attempting to collect, which is in violation of the FDCPA. My next step is to contact a consumer protection attorney unless the matter is resolved here. 
This account was paid to the original creditor after it was charge off.
This debt is a workmans comp claim from a work related injury. These collection agencys insert this on my credit file damaging my credit, then send a letter about the debt. As soon as i respond showing the verification they provide clearly states workmans comp claim, along with part of the judgement naming the DEFENDANT liable, they sell this debt to the next collection agency for them to do the same thing. This has been disputed 3 times and removed but the damage is done to my score. They break the law by inserting before communication to damage my score. They are trying to collect a debt I am in no way liable for.
I requested that Ad Astra validate debt XX/XX/XXXX via XXXX XXXX XXXX and on XX/XX/XXXX they sent me a statement for payment in the amount of {$180.00} but still nothing validating that I owe this debt. This information is reporting to my credit reports inaccurately the Date of loan per the statement shows XX/XX/XXXX.
I have hard inquiries for a car in XXXX 2014 I should not have any inquiries concerning a car in late 2014. I purchased a car in XXXX 2014. I am not sure where they came from and previously sent to XXXX & Experian to have those hard inquiries removed with no success.
A medical company I am a client of XXXX XXXX has claimed for some time that XXXX owe them money, but can never say what for. So because I continued to challenge them on the issue, they sent their " alleged : debt to a company called State Collections. They started calling me. The first call was a live person, who demanded to know all my personal information. When I refused, she said that I would be sued if I did not pay the debt. I told her she would have to send a letter stating who they were, who they were collecting for, and how much the alleged debt is for. So far they refused, and since I did not handle this over the phone they placed it on my credit. Now I receive " robo calls '' from State Collections daily. No person on the other end, just a message that they are debt collectors. I am trying to get this removed from my credit, and I have complained to the local XXXX about XXXX XXXX. State Collections have called before XXXX and after XXXX on several occasions, XXXX time being called as early as XXXX and as late as XXXX. I need these people to follow the law, and at the very least, send a letter stating their purpose so I can respond. Calling them back does not result in any communication either. You sit on hold forever.
I was refinancing my house and we had a closing date and then I get a call from a different person at the company than I have been dealing with asking for me to cancel a dispute with a company that I had on my credit report when I asked why he got rude and said just do it so I did they sent the appraiser out to my house and that is where things got ugly they started asking me to go to the county and have them change how they have my house listed when I told them that I have tried to do this and they would not change it with out proof of what my house is so i told them that as soon as the appraisal came in and I had the proof I would go back to them with it and and a few days latter they called me and said they canceled the loan so I ask for a copy of the appraisal and they said they had up to 30 days to send it to me about ten days latter they tell me that I ca n't have a copy of it because they canceled it before he did it one person there says they have it one says they do n't the appraiser says he sent it to them
