I obtained what was supposed to be an installmant loan through XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2017 for a total of XXXX dollars due to hardship. From my understanding they added about 200 dollars worth of interest onto the loan and i would have over a certain amount to pay the loan back as you i have with previosly obtained and paid loans. I began paying the loan back in payments of XXXX every other week from XX/XX/2017 untill XX/XX/2017 so a total of 11 payments of the XXXX, so over two thousand dollars worth of payments overtime. About half way through i had logged intoXXXX XXXX to see what my exact balance was and to my suprise it was exactly the same amount as the loan i had recieved despite all of the payments i had made towards the account. I called XXXX XXXX   to ask them what was the deal with the account balance and how it hadnt decreased even with all of the money i had already paid. They then told me that the only way i was going to be able to pay the loan off entirely was to pay the interest, as well as the entire amount that i had borrowed initially. I made sure to tell her i didnt sign up for a payday loan and that i signed for an installmeent loan, something that i could pay back over time because of the tremendous hardship i had been facing. They then told me that i had no other option but to just pay it off. I kept making payments every other week untill XXXX and my account indeed still remained the same amount, if not more by the next time i made a payment. So finally i sent them an email statiting that i was not going to pay them anymore due to the fact that i had already paid the loan in full three times over, and that i did not ever sign for a payday loan. I knew it could not be interest compiling that fast within teo weeks due to Texas legal laws in place. As of last month XXXX XXXX   has had a collection agency ( ad astra recovery services ) flag my credit, bringing my score down tremendously. They show that i obtained the loan in XXXX of this year ( which is false information ) and that i have only made one payment ever with the account ( which is also false ) i have sent in bank statements, i have sent payment confirmation reciepts via fax from my email, but the company persists on leaving the falsified information on my credit account as if it were truely an installment loan i just defaulted on, and did not pay them for when its not true. They refuse to remove it unless i pay them an additional 1000+ dollars.
According to the New York State General Business Law Section 380-j " ( f ) ( 1 ) Except as authorized under paragraph XXXX of this subdivision, no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information. 
( i ) bankruptcies which, from date of adjudication of the most recent bankruptcy, antedate the report by more than XXXX years ; ( ii ) judgements which, from date of entry, antedate the report by more than XXXX years or until the governing statute of limitations has expired, whichever is the longer period ; or judgments which, from date of entry, having been satisfied within a XXXX year period from such entry date, shall be removed from the report XXXX years after such entry date ; ( iii ) paid tax liens which, from date of payment, antedate the report by more than XXXX years or, a paid, satisfied or vacated tax lien involving a purchaser, transferee or assignee in a bulk sale transaction who has been deemed liable by the state tax commission for sales taxes due from a seller, transferrer or assignor under subdivision ( c ) of section eleven hundred XXXX of the tax law, where the receipt by a credit reporting agency from such purchaser, transferee or assignee of a notice, or true copy thereof, from the state tax commission to such purchaser, transferee or assignee that his liability has been wholly paid or satisfied or no longer exists, antedates the report by more than XXXX days ; ( iv ) accounts placed for collection or charged to profit and loss which antedate the report by more than XXXX years ; or accounts placed for collection or charged to profit and loss, which have been paid and which antedate the report by more than XXXX years ; " I called Experian and mentioned that I have a charge off that was sent to collection and since I paid the collection and it 's past the XXXX year of NY SOL to exclude it from my credit report. They was able to remove my collection account but refuses to remove the charge off that was tied to the collection account. This is a violation of the NYS Statue. I explain that this is blatant inconsistency in their application of the NYS statue, which groups both collections and charge-offs under the same exclusion provision. This is improper of handling by the CRA.
I got this payday loan from Advance America to pay off the payday loan from XXXX. However, the more I paid off the first loan I had to pay my everyday bills then pay Advance America and got caught up in the cycle. Other daily unexpected events just has prevented me from repaying them.
I applied to modify my loan on  XXXX   XXXX ,  2017 . I submitt ed a full package of information including the Uniform Borrower As sistance Form and reasons for my need for modification including a severe medical hardship, to the bank. In a matter of a few days they claim to have fully reviewed my file and denied my application on  XXXX   XXXX ,  2017 . They claimed they could not approve me for a modification due the fact they could not lower my payment sufficiently. The bank proposed a higher interest rate at 4 % compared to the 3.5 % interest rate I am paying now and said they could n't lower my interest payment. Additionally rather than extending the time within I could pay off my mortgage, they shortened the total number of mon ths from what the amortization date is. Based on this criteria of a higher mortgage interest rate and shorter time for full payoff of course my monthly payments would increase and this is contradicting to what Nationstar is advertising on their website under help for homeowners. The following was copy  and pasted directly from their website   " LOAN MODIFICATION If you 're facing long-term hardship, we can see about modifying your loan so it has more manageable terms.
<P/>
While refinancing means replacing your existing loan with a new one, loan modification keeps your existing loan and changes its terms.    <P/> If you qualify for loan modification, we 'll look for a way to reduce your monthly payment. Maybe we 'll be able to lower your interest rate. Or maybe we can extend the loan 's timeframe so we can lower each month 's payment ''
I had a mortgage with XXXX  XXXX XXXX. XXXX  XXXX XXXX transferred the title of the house to XXXX XXXX XXXX and I bought the house free and clear from XXXX XXXX. I used a hard money lender named Athas Capital and I borrowed {$130000.00} and purchased the home. Somewhere along the lines fraud came into play. XXXX XXXX XXXX says they never transferred the title to XXXX XXXX and that they still own the house. Meanwhile, I closed on the house with XXXX XXXX XXXX and Athas Capital and they say they own the house. Meanwhile, I have two banks saying they own the house and if I don't pay them, they are going to foreclose on the house. Now I am stuck paying 2 mortgages over $ 3000+ for a {$130000.00} house and I can't afford it. I have been asking both mortgage companies to figure out who owns the house but they both won't. I have been paying 2 mortgages now for almost a year and its really crushing me financially. Both of these mortgage companies have title insurance and one of them needs to exercise it and recoup their loss.I need your help to make them settle this.
I keep getting phone calls looking for a XXXX XXXX ( not me ), and when I ask them to stop, they do n't. I got XXXX company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to take me off their list, but others are calling now. A company called Convergent Outsourcing , Inc. is calling and hanging up when I pick up the phone. When I call them, I 'm out on hold to speak with someone. I told them once to remove my number, but I keep getting the hang up calls, and when I called back, I spoke with an XXXX who said my number was not in their database.
This Letter shall serve as formal notice of my Intent to file a lawsuit against your company, due to your blatant and objectionable disregard of the law. 

In correspondence dated XX/XX/2016 you received a demand for validation and cease communication letter from me delivered to you via certified mail. As of today you have failed to provide me with the proof I have lawfully requested. 

The FDCPA states you must cease collection activity until you have produced validation of the alleged debt if so requested. As per the FTC, this includes reporting to the credit bureaus, which you obviously have done illegally. It is quite evident that no such proof of this alleged debt exists or you would have provided it by now. Also, when an alleged debt is disputed, a notation must be entered on the debtor 's credit report showing the item as in dispute. Again, this was not done. 

I 'm sure you are aware of the consequences in violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act as well as the multiple violations your company is now responsible for. If not, let me point them out for you. 

FCRA 1. 623. Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies [ 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ] ( a ) ( 3 ) - Duty to provide notice of dispute. 
2. 611. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or unverifiable information. 

FDCPA 1. 805. Communication in connection with debt collection [ 15USC1692c ] ( c ) Ceasing Communication 2. 809. Validation of debts [ 15 USC 1692g ] As per the FDCPA : 813. Civil liability [ 15 USC 1692k ] ( a ) Except as otherwise provided by this section, any debt collector who fails to comply with any provision of this title with respect to any person is liable to such person in an amount equal to the sum of -- ( 1 ) any actual damage sustained by such person as a result of such failure ; ( 2 ) ( A ) in the case of any action by an individual, such additional damages as the court may allow, but not exceeding {$1000.00} If you wish to resolve this matter, this will be your last opportunity to do so. The account must be deleted from my credit files with the XXXX major credit reporting bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ) and you forward a letter stating the item will be removed and will not reappear on my credit reports again by you or another collection agency.
My husband had me listed as an authorized user on his XXXX XXXX card for a couple of months and I asked to be removed from it, as I did not apply or ask for it. XXXX XXXX and Experian have both refused to remove the history of the account from my Experian Credit Report, thus causing irreparable damage to my ability to apply for a specific credit card, due to too many new accounts being reported. In addition, the card is erroneously listed as being opened on XXXX XXXX. XXXX, but was actually opened back in XXXX XXXX.
Discover Bank, after account was settled and paid off, still claimed I owed them money, kept harassing me and brought great damage on my credit score and emotional health, in 2006. 
And this time, kept threating me to with continuing attorney placement pending letter includes phone # collection, which is completely unnecessary. then right after that the company ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) sent me letter stating 'This firm is acting as a law firm. ' I have disputed and demanded verification and in response, they sent me only statements, not original agreement on terms I have signed up, nor application for the card, despite of my request. The statements show many interest and late fees charged. seeking and charging interest and fees without clearly defines 'the term of this extended line of credit and my permission to them to charge those/agree to pay ' in the original contract I have signed up is a violation of FDCPA. 
Then Discover sued me, so I called to XXXX, their Automated answer says, " This firm is not a Law firm, Debt collection agency. '' This is clearly confusing and misguiding consumers, which is another violation of FDCPA. 
This Discover Bank and XXXX, Collection agency claim to act as a Law firm must be punished for their act of deceiving public.
My Wife and I own a commercial building in  XXXX   XXXX   CA.. We  have owned the building personally since  XXXX  and it 's recorded in our names and our trust only. Merrill Lynch and there successor Bank  of America  did  XXXX  loans against the property. In both cases the loans were made under false pretense to a company instead of us. The bank knowingly did these loans for there benefit fully knowing in both cases the loans were made securing a false asset never owned by the company. They also failed to disclosed or send final documents for the last loan done in  XXXX  and current. The bank has refused repeated requests to admit and correct this error. On both loans they have done auto payments from our personal checking account and never receive any payments from the company.  Bank of America is  guilty of false documentation and financial fraud.
My mother had to go to an XXXX XXXX facility in XXXX or XXXX. She threw away all of her paperwork ( insurance, loan, etc ) I did not know until she was very ill that she had a reverse mortgage. XXXX bought her loan from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have a POA and I have been asking XXXX for documents, contracts and a loan history since XXXX of last year. I finally received paperwork in XXXX of XXXX and two days later was informed they are starting to foreclose on her house. Her contract with XXXX XXXX XXXX says the non-occupancy agreement is for 12 months. I believe it should be 12 months from the date I finally got documents. There is more to the story like they did not assign an individual to help me. Also I believe they changed the original contract she had with XXXX ( concerning occupancy ). I understand from a XXXX counselor and my real estate person that XXXX wants not only what they are owed but the equity in my moms home. She is absolutely and totally XXXX. I just want to get my moms house sold so I can take care of her. I am at wits end.
I have a mortgage with Indymac bank which was bought by Onewest Bank Reo, LLC, my house entered in foreclosure in 2009, I received a offer from the bank to make 3 payments, after the last one we agreed to set a permanent modification, I made the on time payments by they returned my last one and I was told that they just change their maid despite that we had a signed agreement, after that unfair situation I keep trying to obtain a loan modification and they asked for documents that I sent accordingly, most of the times they responded that they did not received them, despite that we sent them by certified mail. In the foreclosure court their argument was that I did not qualify for modification but they never provided me with that information or the reasons for their denial, but the National Mortgage Settlement reinforces obligations on Onewest Bank Reo , Llc., to follow the HAMP guidelines, and in my case those guidelines never were followed, my house still in foreclosure and the bank did not submitted any information that justify my modification denial.

BMW Financial instructed me to make payment through their website on multiple occasions and then hit me for a 30 day late payment when it was not. On XXXX I called BMW and they advised me they were unable to answer any questions or figure out why I was paying strange payments. I paid XXXX on XXXX and then XXXX on XXXX. My actual payment is XXXX after 6 % tax on the lease. 

InXX/XX/XXXXa customer service rep said she couldn't take my payment over the phone and to pay on the BMW financial website. I paid it and then I was hit with a 30 day late because they didn't post it for 12 days or pull it from my account. 

This month payment they said is 30 days late too from the XXXX payment date. I called in to change my payment to the XXXX of the month back in XXXX so it fit in with my bonus payment and I can pay the lease payment easier that way. I paid XXXX, on XXXX after I got calls from BMW saying I was late, then I paid XXXX, XXXX and called BMW financial to find out why the payments were so weird. They were unable to give me a reason or explain as to why it wasn't showing the normal XXXX payment. BMW allows you to change your payment due date during the lease. I called BMW financial to help me with this and they set it up and charged me {$30.00} to do it each time. it is clear when they were doing this, it was messing up the payments and the due dates they were using and causing them to hit me with a 30 day late payment. I have " 2 '' late payments with BMW financial and they are not my fault, they are BMW financials error. My lease is done soon and this error will prevent me from leasing thru BMW and really any other manufacturer leasing company period. I asked them to fix this and all I get is a the run around and a list full of directions on how to dispute their error. Why does a consumer have to do all the work to fix something they simply pushed a button to mess up. I need this fixed asap to prevent me from having to walk to work. I want to go back thru BMW but this is really unfair and wrong. Please assist me.
On or about XXXX XXXX, 2001, Wells Fargo on behalf of XXXX Mortgage, filed a defective reconveyance when a loan was paid. The defective reconveyance referenced the incorrect county document number and therefore an outstanding mortgage still shows in the chain of title. All appropriate materials, including the county documents and original loan documents were sent to Wells Fargo Home Mortgage via certified mail. There is no phone number or way to speak to anyone at the written correspondence department. A month has passed with no contact from Wells Fargo. The carrying costs are substantial. A contract for sale has fallen out of escrow because of the silence when presented with their error.
On XX/XX/XXXX I received a settlement letter for a debt of XXXX from XXXX on behalf of XXXX XXXX the letter said I could settle my debt by paying them XXXX. By paying this amount XXXX would close the account and contact the 3 credit Bureaus and remove the negative collections from my record informing them this had been settle. After that I notice the negative collection was removed. So I was happy about this.. 

XX/XX/XXXX rolls around and I see the same account with now an amount of XXXX posted to my credit report as an open account with XXXX XXXX in collections. 

I reach out to the XXXX number on my letter and the woman on the Phone says that they are no longer XXXX they are now call resurgent capital out of XXXX SC. I went ahead and told her that I notice a closed account that I had remove from my credit report was now showing back on the credit report. I informed her of my settlement with XXXX and provided her with a confirmation. She went on to say that they bought these debts account from XXXX and that although my account was settle with XXXX on behalf of XXXX XXXX that in their record my account was still showing open so they reported back to the credit bureau and that they could not help me in removing this negative collection from my records. I ask how could they buy closed accounts that were settle at one company and try to recollect additional money from the consumer. She had no answer and informed me that her company does not remove settle collections from the credit bureau even if they are settle. Why would I be told that this was to be removed by XXXX then remove from my credit report to be sold to another company and reprocess again as bad debt. How are these companies allowed to do this. And how is the credit bureau protecting the consumer from such fraudulent processes. This is fraud in so many levels. I believe this should be investigated
This company continues to report on my credit report after I sent them a letter telling them that this account was not mine and I have no idea what it is or who it belongs to! 

I asked for proof of a signed contract, I asked for a license to collect in my state, I asked for copies of all information referenced for this debt and still to date, I have not received anything but harassment from this company! 

THIS IS NOT MY DEBT!
On XX/XX/XXXX, I came outside to see that my car had a boot on it. There was a notice stating that I had 4 or more parking tickets in collections, and that due to your non responsiveness, your vehicle has been immobilized. I was told that if I did not pay the amount in full within 48 hours, my car would be impounded. 

I called XXXX XXXX XXXX, gave my name and my license plate number. I was told that there were NO tickets on file for that license plate number, and that I had tickets on my record for a different license plate. She asked if I had changed my license plate and I told her I had not, as I had this car for the past 4 years. I also mentioned that I had just received my tabs a week earlier, and that the DOL will not let you renew tabs if you have parking tickets in collections. She claims you must have got lucky then. I told her I have never once received a notification that I had anything in collections, so walking out to my car being locked should not be allowed. I was never given a chance to rectify the problem before it got out of hand. She told me they made one attempt to mail me a letter, and the letter was sent back to them. I informed her that the notice on my car stated that they made all proper attempts to contact and that i wanted to know what the other attempts were. She did not have an answer for me. 

She did have on record that I came to their office in XXXX of XXXX to pay off a ticket, but claims there were four others that didnt go on record until XXXX of XXXX, conveniently. 

I should not be held liable for late fees, interest fees, etc. when it is on record at XXXX XXXX that their one attempt at mailing me a letter was never received. They did not make full attempts, and originally told me that my tickets were on a DIFFERENT license plate number, although my tickets are from XXXX and XXXX and I have had my car since XXXX. 

They also said they can not show me where the parking tickets occurred but could give me a print out with the ticket number only, which I have attached. 

I worry that they are violating the law, and possibly the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and would like this reviewer. 

Since I was threatened with getting my car impounded if not paid in full within 48 hours, I took an advance on my paycheck to cover the cost and I had to miss work on XX/XX/XXXX and will be missing school on XX/XX/XXXX waiting for the boot to be removed. 

Thank you for your time.
