I have been a victim of identity theft and have filed all the appropriate info with the FTC, IRS, local police dept., etc. A common activity is to have someone I do n't know open a credit/debit account in my name using my SS #. Every company that I have contacted for resolution/cancellation has helped me resolve the fraudulent account, except Simple. I contacted Simple ( XXXX ) on X/XX/2017. They refused to speak with me about the account, even though I gave them all of my information, including SS #, because I was " not the one who opened the account. '' They refused to even tell me if the account was active or closed. I have placed security freezes on my credit reports to avoid further experiences like this, but I need to clean up all these loose ends and not have open fraudulent accounts. Identity theft is bad enough, but when companies like Simple refuse to help, it makes it that much worse. All I want is to be sure this account is closed.
Hi was told 3 weeks ago in XXXX 2017 that they would n't be able to put my loans on Forberence spike to another rep 2 weeks ago told me not true put my loans in Forberance only to find out they did n't bow there threatening me by letter that they will send me in collections and take my wages. Its been so confusing I feel ill over this its like the never ending loans. They try to send me application for repayment its confusing I do n't know who to trust anymore please this is making me so sick they send me letters almost every three days.
I recently filed a complaint ( # XXXX ) with your company against Southwest Credit Systems , L.P., located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX . XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX about a debt I do not owe. 

In response, " SWC state on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX contracted with SWC to collect the unpaid amount of {$490.00} on account XXXX from XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX. According to XXXX, the account became delinquent XXXX XXXX ''. 

I recently reviewed my credit report with XXXX dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and reflecting is a collection account in the amount of {$490.00} that was assigned on XXXX and reported to the CRA 's on XXXX by XXXX XXXX, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX. 

This account was eventually removed from my credit report after informing them that I do not owe the alleged debt. 

Although, Southwest Credit Systems L.P. state on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX contracted with them to collect on the alleged debt. I believe they uttered untruth knowingly and they are XXXX XXXX, and was assigned the account before XXXX XXXX, XXXX removed it and put it back on my credit report under a different name.
Would not send me any paperwork through mail. Only emailed me a form stating what I agreed to pay back. Did not say anything about where my debt was from.
In XXXX, I co-signed for a student loan for my nephew from a private bank which was not backed by XXXX XXXX. He graduated in XXXX and unbeknownst to me was making payments sporadically. 

In XXXX, I had to declare bankruptcy due to medical reasons and all my debs were discharged in by XXXX XXXX including my nephew 's student loans. 

My nephew stopped making even his sporadic payments and XXXX came after me. I informed them and submitted to them my bankruptcy discharge papers to them. This did not satisfy them. They kept calling and harassing me. 

Eventually they sold off the loan and my nephew ended up paying off the loan in full in XXXX yet XXXX kept reporting on my credit report and impacting my credit score as a charge off. 

To add insult upon injury they provided my nephew with a letter but they refused to provide me with a letter saying my name is not on the account. I have tried to dispute the account on my credit profile but the idiotic incompetent agencies keep listing this debt as verified and accurate. They then advised me to call the number on the credit report. 

When I tried to call the number on the credit the number of course was disconnected!!! Equifax, XXXX and XXXX are totally useless.
This collection agency has been reporting late payments to all credit bureaus for a mortgage that was foreclosed on in 2013. Please see mortgage documents that states this mortgage was cancelled. They collected {$5000.00} from my husband and I while we were under duress. We 've always omitted that this debt was not ours however while trying to purchase a home this collection had proven to be damaging to our scores and the loss of a few homes because of late payment reporting. During this time we were notified by our lender that this debt in fact was NOT ours, and supplied us with legal court documents reflecting proof. Unfortunately a settlement was made, and {$5000.00} was collected from us. We are filing this complaint, as this collection agency illegally collected on a foreclosed mortgage.
In XX/XX/XXXX we applied for a load modification through Nationstar mortgage. In XX/XX/XXXX I received paperwork from XXXX County with notice of a sheriff sale. Around XX/XX/XXXX I called Nationstar and spoke with XXXX XXXX to find out what we could do to resolve. He stated that since we did n't complete the modification paperwork after the trial period the sheriff sale would move forward. The only way to avoid would be to provide a payment of approx. {$25000.00} to bring everything current. We never received the paperwork he was referencing and additionally I was unaware of anything that needed to be completed. I thought since we made all payments on time and in full during the trial period that things moved forward as normal. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX County and I called XXXX XXXX ( formerly Nationstar ) and spoke with XXXX regarding the situation looking for advise on how to resolve. When we informed XXXX that I had not received the paperwork she provided us with the tracking number, stating the paperwork was sent on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX delivered to our home on XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX ). However, when we input the tracking numbers into the XXXX portal the first only notates that it was delivered to 'XXXX ' no specific address and the second states 'In transit '. As of XX/XX/XXXX XXXX has escalated the issue at XXXX XXXX to see if we are able to resurrect the modification due to lack of communication. However, we are very close to the sheriff sale date now.
I called the collection agency to make a payment. They refused to credit the account or even give me the collection amount unless I provided social security number. They identified the account and verified the information by address account number and name and still demanded a SSN. 

FCRA and SSA forbid the use of SSN as an identifier. The company and XXXX both refused to take payment without SSN
Had some fraud on a credit card so my financial institution. Capital One issues me a new card on the same account. I have some recurring transactions on the card and was updating that information but had n't gotten around to all of the vendors. At one point I logged into XXXX as I saw a charge on my new card from them I look and I see that they have my updated card information. I initially thought that I had updated the card and just did n't remember, so I shrugged it off. But then I saw a charge from XXXX, XXXX and I KNEW I did not give them my new card number because I had intended to move that recurring charge to another form of payment. I logged into my account and not only had the charge gone through but now XXXX has my new card number. I had never given to them nor authorized anyone else to give it to them. 

I called my financial institution and they said it was XXXX. I called XXXX and they said it was my financial institution. I did some digging on XXXX 's website. And sure enough they sell it as a service to their merchant customers. XXXX No one will tell me how I opt out of this or even if I can opt-out. But I find it an unacceptable security risk that someone is providing a third party with my private financial data, my credit card number, without my express consent. 

I understand the convenience this provides both businesses and consumers, but I feel this is something I should have to opt-in to, or at the very least be able to opt-out of.
I received an email from the CFPB regarding the response to complaint # XXXX stating that the lender my loan was transferred back to now has an 15 days to respond to my complaint filed against its servicer XXXX. The two lenders are both involved in the same loan transaction. The lender that now has my loan, Bank of America, should continue where its servicer left off not be granted MORE TIME as my HELOC is resetting to a payment I can not afford and needs modification ( as explained in complaint # XXXX against XXXX ) I also made a payment of {$490.00} due just before the transfer which I never got credit for. Interest on the loan continues to accrue. Where is the payment I made? Because now they show me in arrears with a combined next payment due of over {$1300.00}. I can not afford that and will lose my home for sure!
Bank of America, which has my loan now, did reach out to me with a phone number but when I call and no one answers or returns my messages.
I need help and answers to my request for modification, not more delays. I feel I being passed around til I become severely delinquent, then WHAM! I/m in a hole I can climb out of.
I do not need to lose my home as I finally have a place to live that has been modified to fit my XXXX ( XXXX, XXXX XXXX ) If I lose my home to foreclosure because I can not afford this new HELCO payment, I will be left homeless.
I received an alert on my credit report that a hard inquiry was made to my credit report by a company called " First Data Merchant Services ''. I immediately recognized this to be a fraudulent inquiry and attempted to contact First Data to alert them to the fraudulent activity and close the account if one had been opened. I found a customer service phone number and talked to a representative who told me I needed to speak to the Security Department. I was transferred. The call went to voicemail and I left a message explaining the situation and left my phone number. After receiving no call back for XXXX days I called again. Over the next week I called First Data 24 times trying to speak to someone who could address this potential fraudulent activity. I was always referred to the same " security '' desk who never answered the phone and never returned my call. It has been three weeks and i 'm still yet to be contacted. 
This company issues credit card processing machines to merchants. Someone has potentially opened a fraudulent account using my personal info and this company can not or more likely will not contact me to attempt to resolve. As frustrating as identity theft is, it isnt nearly as frustrating as a company like this who gives them the ability to perpetrate then gives no ability to the victimized consumer to address. Furthermore, I was unable to obtain an e-mail or mailing address to either the security department or legal department to send a letter with my concerns. I asked agents as well as their website. Not one email or mailing address is listed on their website. Please address this criminally negligent company.
this collection has been removed by XXXX and XXXX. Not sure why XXXX is reporting. This account was not opened with my authorization.
have disputed XXXX XXXX XXXX account numbers XXXX and XXXX many times and Experian continues to report negative information to my credit report. The account reports inaccurate and incomplete information. I disputed the balance they verified it but Changed the amount how is that possible? Went from XXXX to XXXX. The payment dates and late pays do not match between all three credit bureaus. XXXX  is missing on time payment info on account number XXXX for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX payments were reported on XXXX  and Experian. And on account number XXXX missing on time payments for XX/XX/XXXX. Also on Experian the dates XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX of are listed at 150 and 180 days late but XXXX  has them listed as 120 days late. on account number XXXX Experian has dates XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX listed 150 and 180 days late but XXXX   has them at 120 days late. Inaccurate information is listed for these two accounts. They refuse to investigate independently from the consumer electronic response with no proof actually being verified. I asked to have all past investigation findings, method of investigation, who verified it and their contact information mail to me as proof of investigation and they refuse to do so. Its been past the 15 days allowed to respond. Pure negligence. The original charge off balance is XXXX and the balance now is XXXX but there is no payment listed after the charge off date of XX/XX/XXXX. So when and how was XXXX dollars paid on a charged off account and if so why is it not listed as a payment? Proof of no real investigation and negligence. Proof and documents are listed in the attached files. Also there are scheduled payment listed on both account one of XXXX and the other XXXX they are both charged off the balance should be XXXX. 
They refuse to do an independent investigation as per my previous CFPB complaint XXXX regarding two inaccurate XXXXXXXX XXXX accounts they are reporting. I have tried several times to have them address this but they continue to give me the run around. I want this inaccurate information deleted from my account.
I applied for Gold Delta SkyMiles from Amex credit card in XX/XX/XXXX through a promotion link when booking flight tickets through third-party flight booking websites. When you clicked the link to apply, the flight ticket price shown went down.

After having the card, I spoke with the customer services several times about my welcome offer, including miles earned by {$1000.00} purchase and {$200.00} credit earned by purchasing from XXXX  web directly within the three months. The customer services listed out in details that how I will get my welcome offer.

When making my international traveling plan, I intentionally book a flight from XXXX   even though there're quite a few faster and cheaper choices. But I want to collect my welcome offer anyway.

However, a few weeks after I purchased my ticket, I still didn't see the {$200.00} credit statement from AMEX account. So I spoke to customer services. After almost an hour repeating the same words to two different people, I got the answer that the cheaper flight from third-party website is already using the {$200.00} credit statement. It is very ridiculous because I already purchased a non-refundable flight ticket for that.

This is very misleading and potentially shows that AMEX is not in good faith! Firstly, they didn't mention anything that I already collected the welcome offer during the multiple times I spoke with customer services, and argued that they didn't see my statement posted at that time. Secondly, in the benefits listed on the web, the purchase must be from XXXX or XXXX XXXX etc. How can I tell the purchase from third-party web even with no XXXX name on the statement count? 'm very disappointed and their communication is very misleading to persuade you to purchase more from their partners.

When I try to file a complaint, the customer services just gave me a mail address for general inquiry and refused to file a complaint for me or providing any email address.

I became late on my payments last year. Nationstar offered me a modification. I accepted even thought it would extend out the 20 out of the 30 years I hade left to 40 years. My intention was that I would pay on time for 2 years and refinance out of Nationstar. Then I found out that Nationstar closed my mortgage/note 5 years ago when I was in bankruptcy even after I reaffirmed and have been making payments. So I stopped paying to find out why and what could be done. Who pays 40 years on mortgage that can not be refinanced because it doesnt exist and you may never own it in the end or you think you have it paid off just to be told that you owe more money? I tried to refinance it sooner and that is how I found out there is no note. So then the foreclosure process has started. It has only gotten to their attorney filing papers and requesting it but a judge has not signed off yet and I have denied all claims because I want answers to their claims. Well, I have found a way to pay off my loan ( through my employer ) and in the pay off request they added {$30000.00} fees to my pay off. In XXXX my loan was at {$110000.00} in XXXX it went to {$110000.00} and the payoff for XX/XX/XXXX is for {$130000.00}. I bought this home for {$130000.00} in XXXX of XXXX. I was given a XXXX interest rate even with no less of a XXXX from all three credit reporting agencies. I have tried to contact XXXX XXXX at Nationstar who never answers her phone and never returns her phone calls. So this is what I want help with. I want a true buy out. Not the overinflated one they gave me. I want it noted that I am now sending a check via certified US Mail to make a payment of {$6800.00} since she will not answer her phone to take my payment over the phone. If this can not happen then my boss can buy my house for me at the foreclosure auction for half of what they want for a payoff and they can be out that money since Nationstar closed my note in my bankruptcy and they can not come after me for the difference.
I received a collection notice from   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   about a balance of {$130.00} from a collection agency for  XXXX   XXXX  I have never heard or delt with this person I called the collection office twice the last time was today  XXXX / XXXX /   2017  and spoke with a gentleman who I have my info to and he stated to me that the person who owes this bill is  XXXX   XXXX  I advise the gentleman that was not me as I also stated the first time I called the gentleman ask me if I contacted the credit bureau to dispute I told him I did and that this is not a good look on my credit report because this balance is not mines I have called them twice and also disputed twice with the credit bureau but nothing has happen
The servicing of my loan was sold to Freedom Mortgage in XXXX 2015 ( from XXXX XXXX XXXX ). From the start I 've had nothing but problems. I did a modification with my original lender XXXX XXXX and was approved in XXXX 2015. All documentation was submitted, notarized and returned to the original lender XXXX XXXX and documents were recorded with my county recorder 's office. After my account was transferred, Freedom mortgage started sending me letters saying my account was in default and that I owed over $ XXXX on my account. Every representative I spoke to had a different story regarding my account. No one seemed to know what was going on. I kept sending in my payments to them every month, even though I was receiving in the mail, default letters, as well as Freedom Mortgage had inspectors coming out to my home as if I did n't live there. My credit report has suffered tremendously because Freedom continues to report that I am late. Freedom has not paid my property taxes and now I have been accessed a late fee on the property taxes. I have a single point of contact who has tried assisting but all I get is I 'm sorry but this takes time to correct. I recently found out from a Manager that a " Stop Code '' was placed on my account which means all work on my account should stop, but no one knows why this was placed on the account. The manager I spoke to informed me that this should n't be on my account. Each time I call Freedom they reference that I just went through a modification with them, which I have n't. My modification was done with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX 2015, and approved and completed in XXXX 2015. To this date, Freedom mortgage, still has not updated my account to reflect that I am current, nor have they paid my property taxes. I 've also sent in a copy of my property taxes via fax and no one from the tax department has bothered to acknowledge that they received, or if they are working on getting that paid. I have had to deal with some of the rudest customer care representatives ( XXXX was the worse ). I would like someone to get this issue straightened out sooner rather than later. This has been the worse experience and has added a lot of stress to my life. After working hard to build my credit to purchase a home, this situation has affected my credit score and hinders me from being able to make other purchases. The lack of communication between departments at Freedom Mortgage is unbelievable and the difficulty to reach someone who knows anything about my account is beyond frustrating. If things were getting updated on my account, I would feel a little more at ease, but the fact that nothing has changed since XXXX, leads me to believe that no one is working on getting the issue resolved. I feel as if I 'm getting the run around and only being told they are working on this to pacify me at the moment. Whenever this is corrected my first course of action is to refinance with another company.
On XX/XX/XXXX, PayPal permanently limited my close to 10 year old business account, my wife 's personal account and my personal account for non-fraudulent violations of their Acceptable Use Policy.

Furthermore, they stated that they would be holding my entire balance of {$29000.00} for 180 days to cover refunds and potential chargebacks. This effectively leaves me with {$0.00} in operating capital, savings and/or living expenses.

I wrote the company immediately, and they replied that they would not consider an appeal.

Phone representatives allowed me to speak with a supervisor, who stated the same thing.

One supervisor stated that I could write the corporate office, but didn't give me a contact person. They only gave me a general address to the PayPal office in XXXX XXXX.

I wrote again on XX/XX/XXXX stating that I didn't want my account any more but that all I wanted was to have access to the money in the account that it took years to accumulate.

For the entire calendar year of XX/XX/XXXX, I had a total of {$500.00} in refunds. I had {$0.00} in chargebacks ( see the attached report from my PayPal account ).

The company replied two days later with the same language, that they had to keep {$29000.00} to cover refunds and chargebacks.

On Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote an email to Senior Executives and the Appeals Department again requesting that they give me the balance of the money less {$560.00}, a reasonable amount to cover potential chargebacks and refunds. I stated that they didn't have to give me use of their product, but that I wanted to have access to my capital.

No one has responded by phone or email as of XX/XX/XXXX.
In XXXX I tried several times to make an online payment, and to call in and make a payment. They kept saying there was a system error and that I needed to go to a local 5/3 location to pay. I don't have a local 5/3 location. Every time I tried to pay them I got this same error. I called and spent hours on the phone and they could never help me resolve the problem. buy the time I was able to make an online payment. it was considered late. and they charged me a late fee and reported me delinquent to the credit reporting agencies. This has happened several times in other months as well. Unfortunately, in this case it was to late for me to mail a payment. I was finally able to make a payment XX/XX/2018 for XXXX. but I was trying to pay the balance in full. It would not let me make a larger payment. I feel like 5/3 is intentionally causing error to get late fees. or in the very lease being negligent in addressing the issues to help clients make their payments. I spent hours on the phone. I have never had a 30 day late. and this is the second time it has happened with 5th third. both surrounding the same circumstance. they refused to correct the credit, and told me they don't save the notes. I paid the remaining balance of by mail, immediately after.
