Issue: Disclosure verification of debt — Right to dispute notice not received
Company: Central States Recovery, Inc. (MO)

The original creditor had my mailing address incorrect, but they did have a good contact telephone # ; I did n't realize I even owed this until I pulled my credit report. By then the debt had been sold to the collection agency. I never received a bill from the original creditor, or the collection agency. I am an XXXX so I had my wife call the agency based on the info from my credit report. They attempted to use scare tactics to get her to pay it over the phone without ever seeing a statement of any kind. I have filed complaints against both the original creditor and the collection agency, with the XXXX and still have yet to receive proof of this debt despite giving them my correct address. The XXXX response was that they would remove this debt from my credit report once paid, but I never received anything from them. I have even emailed the collection agency 's legal department and they have not responded. I would 've been happy to pay this in the beginning if I had received notification that I owed it.

I entered into a contract with XXXX XXXX to design and install a new kitchen in my home. The contract was signed on XXXX XXXX. The contract states I pay 50 % of the contract price at that time, which I did. Contract further stated I had agreed to the design drawn by this company. Which I had. XXXX agreed the cabinets would be installed by the end of XXXX. The designer kept making changes to the design. My husband did initial off on those changes. All changes were made by the deigned. 
Then I received a call from XXXX stating my cabinets were ready to be installed but I would need to pay the balance. So I went and paid them the final XXXX. The installers arrived on XXXX XXXX to install the kitchen. It was apparent the cabinets would not fit the space. I immediately contacted XXXX and they said the designer would be out to see what had happened. After her visiting we found out the dishwasher purchased from this company would not fit, the oven would not hold a cookie sheet, the vent fan was inoperable. The countertops ( suppose to be stone ) was XXXX. I notified XXXX and requested many meetings but last minute they would cancel. 
I notified my credit card company XXXX XXXX of the product not being the quality I had agreed to. I did this by telephone and online. They started the investigation XXXX XXXX, 2015. I corresponded with XXXX XXXX many times via mail, email and telephones. She assured me she would take a look at the pictures and all my statements and then send me something in writing. 

XXXX, I received an email stating my Chase statement was ready for viewing. You can imagine my reaction when I found on XXXX XXXX the had put this back on my account. I called them immediately and was told by the agent that I should have received a letter prior to this being done. I asked him if it meant Chase agreed with the merchant. He stead he did not know but advised to file a re dispute on this charge which I did that day. 
This merchant at the moment has an oven, a dishwasher cabinet inserts plus the charges for installing these items. We have requested XXXX to pickup the countertops and the vent hood. 

I believe Chase did not make the correct decision. Also, I do not believe they handled everything in the time allowed for a dispute. I have been a client of theirs for many years. And would expect them to give me the curtesy of advising me of their decision prior to putting it back on my account. 

I will be happy to send you all the documents, pictures and emails sent to XXXX and to Chase. These noticed began XXXX and rare continuing

I have been trying to get a payoff from Capital Mortgage Services of Texas for a closing that is supposed to happen in a little over an hour from now. I first faxed the request along with the borrowers authorization on XXXX/XXXX/16. I called twice last week to confirm if they received my payoff request, ( even though I got a faxed confirmation that they did ) and get an XXXX on the payoff, but I could n't get a human on the phone and had to leave voicemails. The borrower called them on Friday, XXXX/XXXX/16 and she was told that they were sending the payoff out to me that day. When I got to the office on Monday, I still had n't received it so I called again. They stated that it would be emailed to me yesterday ( Monday ). At XXXX yesterday when I still had n't received it, I called again and they stated that I would get it some time today, if not first thing in the morning. This morning I still did n't have anything so I called again. Capital Mortgage Servicing stated that it was still in the final stages of being processed and that she would " try to rush it through '' and if I did n't have it by XXXX to call or email back again. It 's now XXXX and I 've emailed them twice more with no response.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (OH)

I have not been able to obtain my credit report online from transunion. When I origonally applied on annualcreditreport.com I obtained reports for XXXX and XXXX, but transunion said that the report was not available online. It said that I would receive the report through the mail. Transunion sent me a letter issued on XXXX/XXXX/2015 that stated that my credit report was not available due to " Disclosure Request - Proof of Current Mailing Address ''. I tried to speak to someone today, XXXX/XXXX/2015. It took me over three hours to maneuver their system until I could speak to a representative that spoke English as a first languge. Once I spoke to that person my issue was explained and resolved in less than ten minutes. I have no particular issue with foreign call centers in general, but the language barrier was the main reason I was frustrated in my attempts to make a simple transaction in a timely manner. I spoke to no less than XXXX different associates, and was channeled to at least XXXX different numbers before resolving my issue. This is absolutely unacceptable. The Consumer finance protection acency was created precisely to deal with these kind of issues. I would have a hard time believing that these barriers do n't exist with the purpose of creating frustration for consumers. Several times during my ordeal I was offered financial products. I 'm sure that many individuals agree to purchase these produts rather than continue in the endless series of loops and hoops designed to wear you down.

Company: Penn Credit Corporation (NJ)

I began making payments on a debt for XXXX XXXX XXXX with a credit collector named XXXX. The file was pulled on XXXX/XXXX/14. I was then sent a bill from Penn Credit in XXXX of 2014. I called the company and asked them why my balance had not changed. They told me they had no record of payments. I told them I made five payments toward the bill and they told me to fax them proof. I spoke to XXXX and faxed the proof of payment on XXXX/XXXX/14. XXXX told me that the proof would be submitted and investigated and they would contact me with the results. Over one year later I received a new bill from Penn Credit and the balance was reduced by one payment. Instead of wasting more time I am sending the proof to you. I will not make payments until they reflect my true balance. I paid {$620.00} of the debt and should get full credit for it.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (AE)

I am at my wit 's end. There is an Item on my credit report that is an obvious error and I ca n't get Trans Union to fix it. I had a credit card with XXXX XXXX that was closed and paid off in XXXX of XXXX. Even Trans Union 's credit report shows account closed XXXX XXXX, last payment received XXXX XXXX, and a {$0.00} balance. However, they are showing a late payment almost two years later in XXXX XXXX. It does not take a genius to see that this is impossible. I have been disputing this information for about two years now and they will not fix it. This has caused me to be denied a mortgage and to pay higher interest rates. I 've been told the best way to fix this is to file a lawsuit but I am XXXX in XXXX so I ca n't do that right now and besides I would prefer to not take those measures unless I have to. This has become even more complicated now because XXXX XXXX has sold the account to XXXX. So XXXX XXXX can no longer see the account details and XXXX ca n't get it removed because they did n't make the report. Anyone with a little common sense can see that this is an error and that it 's not possible for me to make a late payment on an account that was paid off two years earlier. This is not right I should n't have to suffer for someone else mistake.

I am currently in foreclosure with XXXX. I have been dealing with XXXX XXXX at bayview loan servicing and have provided all requested documents to her to try to save my home from being foreclosed however my income has shown to not be enough to support the modification after tiffani informed me it was two weeks ago. Now on XXXX XXXX she informed me that she misspoke and that my income had not been approved as she stated two weeks early. My daughter has been kind enough to pay me for watching my grand daughter to get a bit of income coming into the house. I explained this to tiffani and she is requesting tax documents, paystubs and credit reports from my daughter. She is delaying my modification for these documents that my daughter does not feel comfortable providing when I have offered to provide cancelled checks and a letter from my daughter stating the agreement. I do not see how she can legally request this information and delay my claim for it. This is not my daughters debt and I am not looking to add my daughter on to the account. Please assist me with this business as I do not want to lose my home over documents that my daughter and I feel they have no legal right to ask for.

This debt collector is in violation of the FCRA. The FCRA requires debt buyers to notify you when they report negative information to a CRA. 

Not only was I never notified but once I learned I had a collection on my credit report I disputed this with the collection company as well as XXXX. I sent a cease and desist letter via certified mail asking them to remove the false delinquency as I would deal with the original creditor only. Neither have complied with removing this account from my credit reports.

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX Bayview Loan Servicing LLC ( BV ) took over servicing of our mortgage from XXXX XXXX. On that date an escrow account balance of {$560.00} was transferred to Bayview. An Annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statement BV sent dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX had sections listing Escrow Disbursements and Projected Escrow Activity, but the Account History section is blank, thus failing to provide us with necessary information on all escrow activities from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX. A statement dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX is missing account history from XXXX to XXXX XXXX. These XXXX misrepresentations are in violation of RESPA. 
When I called BV requesting the missing escrow account history they said I would have to write a letter to BV Customer Service Department. Sent a letter dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX. We received a response dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( mailed XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) from a XXXX XXXX, Case Manager in the Customer Service Department at BV. It stated that she " enclosed a copy of the all escrow account disclosure statements conducted Bayview for your review. '' ( The poor sentence structure is hers, not mine ) and, " Enclosed is a copy of the Account Activity Statements as it provides a detailed accounting of all transactions and their effective due dates for your review. '' What she sent was a copy of the statements that we already have. There was no acknowledgement of our actual request. So they have still neglected to provide an accounting required by law for the period from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX. Their response indicates that they do n't intend to. 
I called BV again and asked for XXXX XXXX. They would not connect me to her and would not agree to send the required information. The person I spoke with said he ca n't get it, but he did n't make any attempt to do so. 
The records we have for our mortgage loan are still incomplete and we are unable to view the records of how BV handled our escrow.

I was ready to pay the new amount after the few month period. I was denied over and over again by the mortgage company. In addition, the mortgage company kept changing contact representatives. They also kept losing paperwork that I submitted per their request. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a denial letter for my loan modification. Their treatment in my opinion has been unfair, unjust and illegal. I think that the original loan was PREDATORY. I am in the process of appealing the modification denial.
