This company has reported a debt on my credit report that I did recognize. When I disputed the validity of this debt with the company through a validation letter sent via certified return receipt mail, the company turned around and verified the debt as a valid debt to the credit bureaus, whereas they were required by the FDCPA to report the debt as " disputed. '' This is a clear violation of FDCPA. 809. Validation of debts [ 15 USC 1692g ]. ( see attached credit report excerpt )
Yesterday XX/XX/2019 I was trying to purchase tickets to a concert through XXXX. I had a few back and forth emails with a person who seemed legitimate and was going to sell me his tickets. We agreed on a price and I sent him via XXXX on the wells Fargo app the amount of {$400.00}. I did not receive the tickets. After realizing I've been scammed I decided to call wells Fargo today XX/XX/2019. I spoke to a representative, they told me I could file a claim but not with them, with XXXX, so they transferred me. I spoke to a XXXX representative who told me there was nothing they could do. They suggested I file a police report, which I am going to do tomorrow morning. I also filed a complaint under the internet crimes department. I just feel a bit helpless and banking with Wells Fargo for many years, they are usually more helpful than that. I'm understandably upset.
I need to know why my trans Union score keeps going down I have been faithfully paying on time I may have missed XXXX purchased furniture but my credit was up and i need an explanation
I was treated at XXXX XXXX Hospital ( " ER '' ) as a result of a motor vehicle accident. I received a bill for {$1600.00}. On XX/XX/18, I paid {$1600.00} online to ER and received a receipt reflecting the same. On XX/XX/18, I received a letter from AMCOL Systems ( " Debt Collector '' ) attempting to collect {$1600.00} on behalf of ER. I contacted Debt Collector via telephone but was unable to speak with a live person. On XX/XX/18, I mailed a letter to ER and Debt Collector providing a copy of my bill, receipt stating the bill was paid in full on XX/XX/18, and a copy of the collection letter sent 37 days after my bill was paid in full. I also disputed the validity of the debt and requested debt verification under the FDCPA. No response was received. Yesterday, I received notification from my credit monitoring service that this account was formally " in collection '' on my credit report and three major FICO scores dropped 58, 50, and 40 points as a direct result. I have written proof of everything that has occurred.
I applied for a standard XXXX loan modification from Chase Bank. My income as reported is {$4500.00} per month. I have XXXX. The bank has refused to acknowledge these facts. Chase awarded me a modification that was 42 % of my income.
Bank of America Class Action Law Suite was settled XXXX XXXX, 2016. All funds were to be deposited into my account which they unlawfully took from me. I have received no money to date. My account dated from XXXX to current. I know for a fact I am entitled to monies in the Settlement. I contact them almost daily. They respond they have to check on it they are not sure and or no reply at all. I am XXXX and have an SSI auto deposit monthly. IT seems as though they are discriminating against me
I have been a full time XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX. I completed a XXXX in XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. During my time at college I had to take multiple student loans to pay for my education. The loans included Stafford loans, Perkins loans, and Key Alternative loans. The companies involved are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ), XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), Wells Fargo Bank, and finally XXXX. 
I feel that I was pressured and talked into multiple consolidations that overall were very detrimental to my loan balance. I pursued a career in XXXX XXXX because I knew that after 10 years of service I would be able to receive loan forgiveness in my federal loans. Since the majority of my loans were federal this in theory would have worked out. I was unaware at the after consolidation to a private company this would not be available anymore. The company such as Wells Fargo did not adequately relay this information to me and talked me into the consolidation. 
I have just about all of my loan statements. 
I consolidated one last time with XXXX just because they offered one of the lowest rates. I feel that the companies first listed defiantly preyed upon me as a college student with little money. At this time my balance is XXXX, XXXX this after almost 10 years of full on time payments. At this rate I could have been an XXXX.
-There are two Citibank student loan accounts that are negatively affecting my credit report ( A redacted screenshot is attached. ) -The " first account '' was opened in XX/XX/XXXX. I experienced financial difficulty beginning in late XX/XX/XXXX. Despite making minimum payments, Citibank charged-off the account in XX/XX/XXXX. <P/>
-The " second account '' appeared on my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX. This second account is listed as being " In Collection. '' -There are separate telephone numbers for each of these two Citibank accounts. I called the number associated with the " first account '' and the recording indicated that Citibank no longer services student loans and that I should contact " XXXX XXXX. '' Upon contacting XXXX XXXX, I gave them my identifying information and they indicated that they could not find an account for me. I called the number associated with the " second account '' and the recording indicated that the number dialed was no longer in service. <P/>-Thereafter, I filed a dispute with the three major credit reporting agencies ( XXXX , XXXX , and XXXX ). The results of my disputes with the major credit reporting agencies stated that the information for both Citibank accounts is " accurate and has been updated. '' -Request for resolution : 1. How can the information related to these two Citibank accounts be " accurate '' when neither telephone number will put me in touch with someone with knowledge of these accounts? <P/>2. How were the major credit reporting agencies able to contact someone to allegedly validate this information when I can not do so with the information provided in my credit report? <P/>3. Citibank has neither notified me about the " second account '' that is allegedly " In Collection '' nor have they provided me an opportunity to address this collection account.
I do not know the amount offhand, but it's about a thousand dollars. 

I initially told the company around last XXXX that I could not pay because I had a XXXX, was in a divorce, and lost my job. They said they would stop late fees and I told them to contact me in 2 weeks. They called at least twice before then.

About 3 weeks ago, when my house was foreclosed on, I got another call from them. I explained I was going literally homeless, with no income, and they offered to put a hold on my account ( sound familiar? ). They said or agreed they would freeze my account and not call me for 2 months, giving me time to get situated. Today, they said my account is in collections, not frozen, and had no answer as to why, when I was told it would be put on a freeze. 

I've since received at least 3 calls last week, 2 calls the week before, and one today. They told me last week they would freeze my account, and that they never call more than once a week. I missed a call today and called them back, getting pretty firm with them. 

They told me they " can not honor requests not to call certain days or times '', which it's my understanding the law requires them to honor ( eg for work ). I go to school and it's getting me in trouble, because I have to answer because my grandmother has XXXX. I address this, they say " well it's outside of our technology to limit call times ''. 

I've also not received written notice because I'm, you know, homeless. I'm living off FAFSA, renting a room I can't even use as an address for food stamps or to register my dog. They threatened to have an attorney contact me anyhow, I said " let them, they can't send any certified documents when I'm homeless ''. She continues to express how I have an agreed debt, and if I recall correctly she insinuated something about garnished wages.
I got a call from XXXX at R M Jackson & Associates Pc about a debt that is or is not real and over 7 years old last week. I asked him not to call me during work hours, please call me after XXXX to ensure that i am not at work. He called the next day and I was not able to answer the phone, he left a message. Today he called the main line of my work and asked to be transferred to me. He left me a voicemail on my office line phone and when i called him back I told him I asked him not to call me during work hours and asked how he got my number at work to my desk not my cell phone. His response was that it was his job to know where I was and his job to track me down. So he tracked me down and called my land line work number. He also told me when I asked what this would do to my credit report if I paid it off that he was not reporting this to any credit report. All of this i find to be troubling over a debt that is at least 7 years old and he will not verify to me other than it is for a vet office for a dog named puddles ( a dog that died well over 7 years ago ). How he has the info he does on me is worrying to me and I am not okay with him calling my office to talk to me and asked him not to contact me during business hours.
Equifax was negligent in their handling of their IT security. After having a security breach for over three months they did not notify affected consumers for longer than a month. After having to discover for myself  that I was effected by this security breach, it costs me more money to freeze my credit to make sure that no thieves can steal my credit. Having to waive my rights to sue and agree to arbitration to receive free credit monitoring after their mistake is wrong, and opportunist.
Equifax has been non-compliant with removing the unverified account XXXX XXXX which has been deleted by XXXX and XXXX. XXXX and XXXX have both completed their research and determined that XXXX XXXX was not established by myself but Equifax keeps verifying this accounts. Also, when I called the company they responded that Equifax did not send them all of the verifying evidence to confirm each account is unverified.
I have disputed an incorrect balance showing on my credit report of {$350.00} for a collection with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The correct amount should have been {$56.00}. I initiated another dispute on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was contacted by the creditor with a name and phone number to call to settle the balance of {$56.00} for a hotel stay that the hotel failed to charge to my credit card upon checkout in XX/XX/XXXX. I paid the balance on XX/XX/XXXX and received an email confirmation from the creditor ( XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX ). The creditor provided the name of a contact with the collection agency for me to call. I contacted the collection agency to see when the collection account would be deleted since the disputed amount had been paid to the creditor. She stated that the request had already been sent, and emailed me a letter stating the request was sent to remove the collection account from all three credit bureaus. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received the dispute results from Equifax stating the creditor verified the balance was correct, and is still showing the balance at {$350.00} as a collection on my credit report with Equifax only. XXXX is still showing a balance of {$57.00}, and XXXX deleted the collection account. This information should have been removed by the credit bureaus upon notification from the collection agency. I contacted Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX, and was told that they had not received a request to delete the collection account. I was given a fax number to fax a copy of the letter from the collection agency and a copy of the email confirmation showing that the balance had been paid and to reference the report number XXXX for the dispute, along with a cover letter. After submitting the documents, I was very surprised to receive the results on XX/XX/XXXX stating the collection balance had been verified as correct, and was given an additional dispute number of XXXX. I am having a difficult time getting this incorrect information removed from the Equifax credit report. I uploaded a copy of the letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX this date, XX/XX/XXXX, as they are still showing the collection as active on the XXXX credit report.

I contacted XXXX XXXX and spoke with XXXX XXXX in the debt verification department regarding an account that should no longer be reported on my credit file. My original debt was with GE Bank which is now SYNCB Bank. My first date of delinquency was XXXX 2008. This date was confirmed with the original creditor AND XXXX XXXX also confirmed that the date of the last payment was XXXX 2008, however, XXXX XXXX stated that that information does not state that that was the FIRST date of delinquency. This statement by XXXX XXXX makes no sense being that the original creditor already confirmed this. This account was paid and I am not disputing that is was mine. I am complaining because it is over 7 years and should have been removed at least 4 months ago.
In XXXX on Renewal of my BOA alaska visa card ending in XXXX I was offered XXXX to not close the card. I accepted the offer, it has been 6+ months and they have not credited the promised XXXX miles to my account. I have called several times and they always promise to post the miles, I have a fairly large sum of money at BOA and this has been a big waste of time to try and get what I was promised.
I have asked the company to send a statement of how much I owe in order for me to make payments on the account. The creditor stated that by law they are not require to send me a statement with the balance on it and that I was aware of how much I owed. I advised the agent that I did not know how much I have remained on the account. The agent was very nasty and advised me that they would come and take the vehicle that they have a second lien on it. I asked the agent to communicate to me in writing and to cease and desist calls. I am victim of hurricane XXXX that occurred in XXXX County North Carolina. My stepdaughters loss their home and everything they have. I was without lights for 6 days and water for 2 weeks. The company called after I spoke with them in XXXX or XXXX and advised to contact me by mail. I advised the agent I know of the debt and will make payment as soon as I could. The agent began stating again that she would come and take the vehicle because they have a lien on it. I advised her I could not pay anything at this moment because I have been out of work for 2 weeks now and did n't know when I could return back to work due to the hurricane. The agent advised me that the hurricane was two weeks ago and I knew I had the debt before the hurricane occurred. I advised the agent once again not call my phone anymore because I had on a previous conversation advised her to cease and desist all calls. I hung up the phone at that time I felt she was trying to intimidate me the agent called right back and stated that the agency would garnish my wages. I asked her again to not call my phone and I hung up again.
Hello, I have submitted letters as well as online disputes with documentation to all XXXX credit reporting agencies. This is court documentation proving the account ( XXXX ) they are reporting on my credit is not mine and it was dismissed in a court of law in the state of Massachusetts ( in 2013 ). They have yet to remove this from my credit reports. I am attempting to purchase a home and the credit bureaus are making this an impossibility for me. I do not know what to do from here. I 'm applaud that they are ignoring legal documentation ( which is readily available to the public on the court website ). 
I thank you for caring, XXXX
I was billed incorrectly by the hospital. I was told by the hospital that since I was admitted into the hospital for life threating condition that my insurance company would be bill as " in network ''. The hospital coded the bill stating that it was " out of network '', leaving he a large unpaid balance. After fighting with them for over 6 months by insurance agreed to pay the balance and informed me that the bill was taken care of. I have not heard anything nor received any bills from the hospital since. I was notified by XXXX that I had been placed into collections by the hospital for {$120.00} for the XXXX co-pay. My insurance company says that since I was admitted the XXXX co-pay should have been waved. I just spoke to the hospital and was told again, that since I was " out of network '' the co-pay was not waived, but could not explain why ( nor did they deny ) that they never sent me a bill for the {$120.00}. Being placed into collections caused my credit score to drop from XXXX to XXXX. This drop is causing me to withdraw an application at a local bank for a second mortgage on my house because of the negative effect the drop in score is causing to the interest rate the bank can offer. I just paid the {$120.00} to the collection agency ( that is owned by the hospital ), this is a debt that I am certain that I did not owe but restoring my credit score is far more valuable to me than {$120.00}. The inability of the hospital to code their bills correctly has cause not only my credit score to drop by XXXX points but can have long term adverse effect by showing that at one point I was sent to a collection agency for failure to pay a bill. I asked the person at the collection agency if she could note that the collection was entered in error, she replied that she could not, only that it had be satisfied. No one should have the power to damage anyone 's credit history due to their own lack of internal controls and not have the power to remove the credit bureau entry.
I ordered a tablet from XXXX ( order # XXXX XXXX, and my credit card was charged, however I never received the tablet. After a couple of weeks, I called XXXX and told a representative that I had n't received it. He told me that according to the tracking information, it had been delivered. I asked who had signed for it, since I had been home, and he told me a signature was not required. I explained again that I had not received it, and asked them to credit my account or send a replacement. He said that he could n't do that, so I asked to speak to the supervisor. After speaking to the supervisor, he told me the information given by the representative was incorrect, and I would be issued a refund within 10-12 business days. Two weeks later, I received my credit card bill, and the refund had not been issued. I disputed the charge with my credit card company XXXX Discover XXXX, and they said that according to the information given to them by XXXX, the charge was valid. I called Discover and explained the situation to them, and they re-opened the dispute, however I just received another message stating that according to the information given by XXXX, the charge had once again been found to be valid. Not only did I not receive the merchandise, but XXXX agreed to refund this amount, and now they are forcing through an invalid charge on my credit card.
Will you guys ever support XXXX or XXXX pay. It is such an inconvenience at stores because with the chips in the cards people never know if they have to slide or insert their cards. You guys support XXXX Pay. Why wo n't you guys support XXXX or XXXX pay? Please respond. 
Sincerely, A frustrated customer
I have a public record & Child Support entry that was placed on my credit report and I have been trying for over 12 months to get this entry removed. I have spoken with numbers representatives, supervisors, and managers in regards to the erroneous public record and I have yet to get it resolved. This is my 14th dispute in which I am currently awaiting results. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called and spoke with a representative and inquired how XXXX, XXXX and Experian verifies their public records. I want to know this information because the public record keeps coming back as mine. I had 20 representatives that told me that the request/dispute is sent as a message to the courthouse through XXXX. Once the court verifies it, the information is sent back to the credit bureau. I advised that I would like to cancel that dispute and they advised that because the dispute was already sent to the courthouse, I will need to contact them with my name and the case number. Being that I work for a XXXX XXXX, I know the court system and their procedures, but decided to call anyway. 
Contacted the court and they advised that they do no disclose, release or verify any information with the credit bureaus or any 3rd parties. I decided to call XXXX back, spoke with another rep this time and they advised that the information is verified by the runner who goes to the court house. I asked what information does the runner give to the courthouse, and how and what kind of physical information does the runner give back to the credit bureau. They could not answer that, and I requested to speak with the manager. Manager advised since this is a re-investigation, no runner is involved. She advised that they use a form that they send over to the courthouse. I asked what type of form and where is it sent because the courthouse confirmed that they do not verify any information with the bureaus. All 3 major bureaus refuses to give my physical documentation ( whether tangible or electronic ) that they use to verify this these accounts are mine.
