I paid {$3600.00} towards a credit card ; in which my ex-wife had in her possession, charged to the limit and stopped paying. The cashier 's check is dated for : XXXX XXXX, XXXX. This account was awarded to her in the divorce, however, she did not take the judgement serious. Because the card was in my name, of course I had to make good by it. 

Once this account was paid in full, not too long after ; the account was removed from all XXXX credit reporting agencies. In looking at my XXXX report dated : XXXX XXXX, XXXX ; Portfolio Recovery Associates added this account back on my XXXX credit report on XXXX XXXX, XXXX ; it states it is paid ; but it is still affecting me. Also as of : XXXX XXXX ; the 7-year diary has been reached and this account should not be on any of my credit reports. 

I have contacted Portfolio via email on : Twice, disputing their letter written to me on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Both emails are dated : XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I also sent the emails to them by regular mail. I have not heard back from them, nor have I heard back from XXXX, in which I mailed them a letter on : XXXX XXXX, XXXX ; disputing this same account and asking why, once the account was removed, how did it get added back on my credit report???? I disputed the fact that they have this account on XXXX, stating it is paid, but they are refusing to remove it. It is not legal for a company to remove an account off of a report and then because they feel like it, add it back on ; without my knowledge and even after it was paid in full. Please help me with this issue. I want this account removed ASAP,
I am a victim of the recent XXXX data breach and identity theft. The following hard inquiries are fraudulent, unauthorized and dont belong to me : XXXX XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX
In XXXX of 2012 We had some financial issues and had to file for chapter XXXX bankruptcy. Immediately following our filing date, Ocwen did an escrow adjustment raising the amount of our monthly payment from {$480.00} to {$660.00}. They also at this time stopped sending us a monthly statement. When I talked to a representative they told me their system was down and were unable to send a statement at that time nor did they tell me of the rate increase. Being that we had just gotten all the necessary paperwork completed for the bankruptcy, we were under the assumption that all delinquent amounts were accounted for and set up in the payment plan to our trustee. After several months the bankruptcy attorney had informed me that Ocwen had still not responded to the claim from the trustees office and asked if I would contact them to see what was the matter. I contacted Ocwen a second time and was told they had not received a claim. I again asked about a monthly statement and was told again that their system was down and no one was getting a monthly statement. Soon after, the bankruptcy attorney contacted me again stating that Ocwen had filed the claim, however it was past the deadline and rejected by the trustee. I contacted Ocwen a third time and was told we needed to file for a modification and that the claim amount they filed was incorrect. They also informed me that we were now further behind in our payments. I told them we had been making our payments every month and they said they were not accepting the payments because they were only partial payments. This is when I became aware of the additional amount for escrow. I told them I was unaware of any increase because they had not been sending us a monthly statement. I inquired about the statements again and got the same response as the previous XXXX times. Time has gone by and we still have no resolve in the issue. The trustee has not made any payments to Ocwen, because they have no claim on file. Ocwen also failed to notify the trustee of my monthly payment increase. I have contacted Ocwen again and reapplied for a modification but was denied. I asked about monthly statements again and was told this time I needed to request them. So, because of Ocwen not following through the way they should have, and because of not getting any statements showing what was due, they are now showing us to be more than {$12000.00} behind our original amount past due which at time of filing was just over {$3800.00}. This has now placed approximately {$400.00} a month more towards our monthly expenses. {$170.00} towards our mortgage and an additional {$200.00} towards our trustee payment. We are trying very hard to make this right and to keep our home. However, we feel that Ocwen is doing everything they can to make this impossible.
Note For CFPB rep : Although this complaint is the same as a prior complaint, I am including new information for Experian. Due to the fact that Experian is not required to respond to a Disputed CFPB case and the dispute does not allow for the upload of additional information I ask that you please process this as a new CFPB complaint. Thank You. 

For Experian : On XXXX/XXXX/2015 I submitted a CFPB complaint with Experian, hoping it would lead to an " Executive Investigation '' rather than the typical investigation submitted through their regular channel as it is highly ineffective. My hope when submitting this " Executive Complaint '' was that I would be connected with a direct experian case agent who would actually do their homework, and call the creditor in order to verify the claim that I made was accurate and correct my information as required by the FCRA. Unfortunately this was too much to ask for from experian as experian did the exact same thing they did when I submitted a complaint through the regular channel, absolutely nothing. In fact it was worse than nothing. Instead of verifying my claim with the creditor, they instead chose to take time out of their day to respond to my complaint by accusing me of making up false data and submitting documentation from " Some Law Firm '' as they put it in their response. If they would have called either " XXXX '' at ( XXXX ) XXXX or " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' at ( XXXX ) XXXX They would have seen that it was not a made up document, but a verifiable legal document issued by the attorney representing the creditor. Since picking up the phone is apparently too much work for experian, I took the liberty of doing their homework for them. I have attached a document written by XXXX. XXXX XXXX, Director of the Student Loan Program for the New Jersey XXXX ( the Creditor ) stating that the loan has been paid off in full. I have also attached a previous document from XXXX which states the specific reason the payoff amount is higher than the amount listed with experian which is the reason i 'm assuming is the direct cause of experian taking the stance that the attorney payoff letter is not a " valid '' document. ( experian 's credit record does not account for the attorney fees. ) If experian wishes to verify the information for themself. They can contact Ms.Gervasio at XXXX or contact XXXX at ( XXXX ) XXXX ( which is the number listed on XXXX 's webite ) and ask to be transferred to XXXX XXXX to verify the information I am reporting is correct. 
I just checked my credit report with Experian last week, and they are again incorrectly reporting that I paid {$0.00} for the month of XXXX 2015. 
I have the documentation for a small claims lawsuit filled out for the amount of {$1000.00} in full at this point in time. If experian chooses to respond with anything other than " We have contacted XXXX and have corrected the information accordingly '' I will be sending out the lawsuit and will gladly collect the {$1000.00}.
I am writing to dispute the accounts referenced below. 

1. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I have never had an account with XXXX XXXX. Please remove from my credit report as this is inaccurate information. Not to mention, I have sent XXXX XXXX a request to validate the account from XXXX 's XXXX, showing a printout of the bill however they have been unable to do this. The only thing they provided was a response that they have verified the item, however they've failed to show me how. I have paid XXXX 's XXXX off shortly after my wedding which means that the balance on the account is incorrect. There should be no balance, therefore no collection account. 

I have disputed this account information as inaccurate with you, and you have come back to me and stated you were able to verify the debt. How is this possible? Under the laws of the FDCPA, I have contacted the collection agency myself and have been unable to get them to verify that this is indeed my debt. 

I enclosed copies of my requests to the collection agency, asking them to validate my debt, and the receipts showing that I sent these letters certified signature requested. This debt is not mine and I was given no evidence of my obligation to pay this debt to this collection agency. They have failed to provide me with a copy of the original contract, bearing my signature, nor did they send the copy of the bill that added up to the charges in their claim, solidifying the fact that this debt belongs to me. 

The FCRA requires you to verify the validity of the item within 30 days. If the validity can not be verified, you are obligated by law to remove the item. There is a clear case of unverified debt here, and I urge you to remove this item before I am forced to take legal action. 

In the event that you can not verify the item pursuant to the FCRA, and you continue to list the disputed item on my credit report, I will find it necessary to sue you for actual damages and declaratory relief under the FCRA. According to this regulation, I may sue you in any qualified state or federal court, including small claims court in my area. I will not pursue escalation of the matter upon removal of this erroneous account. 

While I prefer not to litigate, I will use the courts as needed to enforce my rights under the FCRA. 

I look forward to an uneventful resolution of this matter.
American Credit Acceptance has an entry on my credit report for an auto loan with open date XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. They also have an entry on my credit report for an auto loan with an open date of XX/XX/XXXX-terms of loan mentioned and all. I 've never had an auto loan contract with those dates and none signed under the name American Credit Acceptance.I purchased a vehicle XXXX/XXXX/XXXX from XXXX in XXXX XXXX and XXXX financed it. Certificate of title for the vehicle states date acquired XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and lienholder XXXX XXXX XXXX. Turned in my vehicle and keys sent certified mail in XX/XX/XXXX, email sent to XXXX telling them where vehicle left and that keys mailed. Credit report does not have any information from XXXX XXXX Now for my XXXX/XXXX/XXXX signed contract. American Acceptance showed upon my credit reports with the dates listed previously and I did n't know who this was. XXXX XXXX bought the charged off 'american acceptance ' account I knew nothing of and put an entry on my credit reports that they owned the account that was opened XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ( what account? ). XXXX XXXX suing me for american acceptance debt ( what happened to XXXX? who is XXXX ) and provided copy of a sales contract in my name and a signature dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX purchased from XXXX but balance owed statement from american acceptance ( summons ) stating I owe money for a contract dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. What contract is that? I disputed on credit reports all of this and american acceptance-XXXX confirmed it. Had court hearing today XX/XX/XXXX and judge asked if XXXX changed the date would that help? And also said that the dates did n't matter. A signed contract date does matter. Info falsely reported on my credit reports for years and no one trying to take it off. No resolution in court because I refuse to pay for something that is not mine and for info falsely reported against me ( no payment arrangements and XXXX used info they bought from american acceptance to sue me, when that info is false. Was said in court that attorney for XXXX did not get my credit report by I checked and their law firm completed an inquiry on my credit file XX/XX/XXXX so they should have seen that those reported dates by american acceptance did not match a contract the attorney states was mine. I 'm XXXX over this because if a judge says dates do n't matter and that if they changed the date would that make a difference ( wanted to try to get it all resolved ) and if they dismiss this case and re-file with correct dates on paperwork, I 'm doomed for not fault of mine. Please help me. I called the court back to see if I could get a transcript of today 's hearing but was told by rep who answered the phone that they do n't record for that type of case. Please help me.
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I applied online to XXXX XXXX for a loan. The loan request was declined due to my short credit history. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I received a call from a lending company called XXXX XXXX through It 's representative XXXX XXXX XXXX with a loan offer of {$1400.00}. Though I did not apply to the company for a loan, I nevertheless accepted. The representative asked for my bank details which he said the company needed to pay the check for the amount into my account. I innocently gave him my bank details over the phone. I did not suspect any foul play. I did not know he was a fraudster. It was my first time of getting involved in loan transaction. He also asked me to withdraw {$500.00} from the money which the company would pay into my account and pay it into an account the company would provide me. According to him, I needed to do this to boost my short credit history and prove my trust-worthiness which would qualify me for a bigger loan. Shortly afterwards, I received alert from my bank indicating the check had been deposited into my account. The next day, I innocently went to my account in ANOTHER BANK, withdrew {$500.00} and sent it to the account that was sent to me. After some hours, I decided to access the account the check was paid into and I realized my account had been frozen. Confused and not knowing what was wrong, I called my bank and they informed me that the checks that were paid into my account were fake checks. I immediately made a complaint to the Police. After investigation, the police gave me the case number to send to the bank, asking It to unfreeze my account, but the bank did n't comply. That is how the account has remained frozen up till now and it negatively affected my credit score.
Portfolio Recovery Associate has been reporting XXXX collection accounts on my credit report and from what I see they can not have proper validation because they are reporting different dates of first delinquency to all XXXX credit bureaus which is a violation and against the law. The have not done a proper investigation and by law they must delete the accounts.
I was the victim of identity theft in XX/XX/2014 and had money stolen from my checking account at XXXX XXXX XXXX during the period of XXXX through XXXX 2014 through unauthorized charges. I subsequently was able to launch investigations and with XXXX XXXX XXXX 's help I was able to recoup most of my money. However, I did fall behind on certain bills because of this issue. I incurred various 30 day late payments on XXXX accounts as a result of the identity theft in the period. XXXX 30 day late on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card, XXXX 30 day late on my XXXX Mortgage account, and several 30 day lates on my lending club loan account. I have been working with these XXXX creditors and the credit bureau ( Equifax ) but they do not seem to fully appreciate the issue. I do n't feel like I should penalized on my credit reporting which impacts cost of credit and job opportunities when I am the victim. When I try to discuss the issue with the creditors they tell me to speak to the credit reporting agency. When I speak to the credit reporting agency, they tell me to speak to the creditors. I am the consumer that is stuck in the middle and neither party can explain to me what the process is to resolve. I have also filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and received an identity theft affidavit. I am including copies of the FTC affidavit as well as several claim forms from XXXX XXXX XXXX where I had to have XXXX XXXX XXXX investigate the claims. The claim documents were provided to the creditors and credit reporting agencies but I could not get a response from them on how to address this issue. Please let me know if you can help me.
i lost my wallet on XXXX XXXX XXXX i received a call regarding unauthorized use of my debit card from wells fargo bank. i confirmed with them that the charges were fraudulent and they issued a new debit card and restored the funds. 
on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX wells fargo informed me that investigation was completed and my request was denied. i contacted bank several times but they refused to provide any explanation why my claim was denied and the only reason they provided that my pin was used. i explained that I used my card at gas station for the last time and after that there were fraudulent charges and i did n't know how my pin was compromised. 
according to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and implementing Regulation E, 15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq., 12 C.F.R. 205 i am not liable for any unauthorized charges and i want my funds to be restored.
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX/17 {$220.00} I have received my reports and noticed a third party collection agency was reporting as a open status I have never received a letter or do not even know this company, recently I have been recieving repetitious phones calls intended to be annoying different times of the day from different numbers telling me I need to clear up a debt I know nothing about, I tried reaching out asking them to validate this debt they will never send me anything back in writing they will start calling again from a different number, I would like for this company to provide me signature with me giving a provider permission to share my information with a third party since they claim this debt belongs to me
Experian alone with XXXX previously remove XXXX items from my wife and I credit report stating that proof could not be provided. then a couple of months later placed it back on our reports. The companies are using illegal tactics to add them back to the report. I asked the XXXX agencies to please remove them and they refuse to do so after removing them previously.
I applied for a personal loan on XXXX and got the following offer : {$3100.00} loan Payment terms : 47 months at {$350.00} each That comes out to {$16000.00} My mind is blown! 
How are these companies allowed to exist? 
Regulations needs to be put in places to protect consumers. 

Of course I did not accept the loan and want to help protect others from companies like these. 

I have a screenshot to prove it. 

Thank you for investigating this! 
Cheers!
Jon Barry and Associates DBA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Ct , XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Scammer- Sending collection notice and reporting on paid accounts-This is the second time he has attempted to collect on a paid account. this collection activity should be illegal and this person needs to be have his ability to further this activity removed. I HAVE POSTED TO THE CREDIT BUREAU THAT A PREVIOUS CLAIM WAS UNFOUNDED. 
I have written directly to the address with no response. It seems like this is some kid sitting in his bedroom, trying to scam others to make money.
On XXXX XXXX I reported invalid credit inquiries to XXXX and Equifax. There are numerous inquiries on both accounts from XXXX XXXX that need to be removed, as they are not valid. I was told they would be removed within 21 days and I have yet to see any changes.
They are trying to state my debt validation letter was a payment plan. The letter clearly does not state anything about payment. They violated my rights. I want full removal of trade line. No where indicates payment plan. They misrepresented everything I sent to them to fit to their agenda.
Yesterday, XX/XX/XXXX, Halsted Financial called me at XXXX and again at XXXX AND AGAIN within the same minute of XXXX. Then today, XX/XX/XXXX, they called me at XXXX and NINE MINUTES LATER at XXXX. This is literally harassment! I am at work during these hours and have a child who had medical issues so then blowing up my phone makes me leave my production floor thinking it is about her and an emergency, when it is just them harassing me!
On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a compliant against Resurgent Capital Services LP CFPB case number # XXXX. Resurgent Capital LP indicated in their response to my previous complaint that they would submit for account # XXXX negative Tradeline to be removed from all three of my credit reports on XXXX of XXXX please review attachment sent, however the negative account has continued to be report onto all three of my credit reports.
I recently  applied for a home loan and was denied because of my credit. When I looked at my credit I discovered that AMCA was reporting a medical debt collection that I knew nothing about. I tried to call them but they would not discuss anything except how I was supposed to pay them. They have never attempted to validate this debt. I have not ever received any correspondence from them and I have not moved or had any disruption in my mail service. My insurance company should have paid this bill if it truly has anything to do with me ( wh  ich I do n't believe it does ).
Card issuer does not offer an option to enroll in automatic payments. I 'm not sure they even notify me about account balances. My credit has suffered as a result, because a few payments have been delayed. This is the PayPal Extra XXXX Mastercard associated with XXXX. I believe it 's through Synchrony Bank.
I bought my house with an FHA mortgage loan that is held by Carrington Mortgage. I lost my job as a XXXX after 5 years and was waiting to be approved for unemployment and we submitted a payment for that month -- -but it was not a full payment. We did this for a few months and Carrington accepted this. Then suddenly they told us they would no longer accept partial payments. We asked if we could be considered for a modification or a restructuring of the loan or even a repayment plan. We were told no, they would not work with us, they would not assign a dedicated contact and they began the foreclosure process. We were told the only option was to reinstate the full past due balance in one lump sum and we could not do that at the time. 

I believe Carrington is in violation of state and federal guidelines relating to the servicing and handling of this loan. I was told by a counselor that they are required to review and consider myself and my husband 's financial situation for all programs available to struggling FHA loan borrowers. They have not done so, and have denied us access to programs such as modification, partial claim, forbearance or repayment plan. Despite my request for consideration for these programs or some type of review Carrington has refused to work with me. 

Due to my unexpected loss of a job we struggled to make our mortgage payment but still continued to pay what we could each month while going through this hardship. My husband is working and we have the means to afford a fair and reasonable payment. But right now we are being told there are no possible options available, and I just do n't think that is right. We need some help to break through the brick wall that Carrington has put up against our family. We want to get this loan back on track.
