Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a XXXX notice from the IRS. After contacting the IRS, I was told Wells Fargo Bank had submitted to them a cancellation debt income conversion based on a Home Equity Loan taken out for home improvements under acct # XXXX in the amount of {$6300.00}. In additional, the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX also reported XXXX accounts to the IRS same notice for {$490.00} and {$49.00}. I do n't have an open account at either XXXX of these financial institutions. In terms of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, my accounts have been closed since XX/XX/XXXX. In addition, there was a law suit filed naming them as a plaintiff under cause no. XXXX and all issues were resolved. In terms of the alleged home equity loan, this was suppose to have occurred on XX/XX/XXXX and reported to the IRS on XX/XX/XXXX. Unfortunately, this is the XXXX complaint being filed against Wells Fargo bank and also XXXX XXXX ( within your data base ). I contacted Wells Fargo bank, supervisor and she indicated after retrieving the file that the address on the account was different from my current address of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX also provided a different account number XXXX. I explained to XXXX XXXX that I never applied for a loan equity loan via Wells Fargo and I viewed all of these accounts as identified theft and fraud. She referred me to the their fraud division. Within the last three months, I have filed complaints against Wells Fargo bank, XXXX XXXX, and now Wells Fargo bank again. Please investigate what laws have been broken to allow Wells Fargo Bank to fraudulently falsify documents and forward them to the IRS without forwarding to me a Form XXXX, but how was that possible if the address on the home equity loan is different from where I live. It would seem that someone between Wells Fargo and the IRS would have checked the address before assuming that I have XXXX residents since they both have my accounts and my same address ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). This incident is a continuation of the identify theft, fraud, and the bank allowing third parties access to customers banking information and accounts. Please investigate and enforce applicable banking laws.

I requested that Midland Credit Management : 1. Validate the debts in question and provide all necessary documentation. 2. Cease reporting these accounts due to the inconsistencies in the amounts reported across different credit bureaus. 3. Cease the practice of changing the status of the debt in a misleading manner and further damaging my credit. 4. Remove any re-reported debts that were previously removed from my credit report. Midland Credit Management has continuously reported inaccurate information Midland Credit Management has not verified or validated this debt Midland has not sent me any documentation to prove they have a legal right to say I owe them this debt nor any documentation I requested. Midland Credit Management has ignored all correspondence from me Midland has been changing the amounts of the debt by increasing and decreasing the balance every month which is illegal. Midland has also changed these collections to chargeoffs and then changed them back to collections to further lower my score

I called TD Bank today in order to find out why XXXX was not accepting my card online. TD Bank Rep XXXX today on XXXX/XXXX/2015 started yelling at me and told me a lie that my card was not active and that she needed to activate a new card sent in the mail with beginning date of XX/XX/XXXX - I told her I did not want to do that but instead of listening to me she bulldozed and bullied over me and called a 3 way mysterious number wherein she fed all of my personal information ( card number, expiration date, tax ID Number, social security number etc ) into God knows where and to whom. The number she called was supposedly automated and it kept saying that the information she fed was not correct so she kept milking me for more security information and I got very suspicious and told her I wanted to speak to a supervisor. It appeared that and felt like she was feeding my personal financial and identification information into some XXXX fraud ring and I told her to stop. Instead of transferring me to a supervisor she transferred me back into the cue line, where I had to start the entire process all over again and spoke to someone named XXXX who then finally gave me to a supervisor. I am now herein filing a complaint.

Company: Caliber Home Loans, Inc. (CA)

I have a loan through caliber home loans and have XXXX as a payment reduction plan. 
I have made several attempts to contact caliber due to the fact that they are not paying the funds properly. Caliber pays the payment forward instead of reducing the principal of the loan. This has been going on for several years now. I call them and caliber will comply for a month or two and then go back to the same problem again and again. So I called XXXX to resolve this and have an audit performed as to insure my funds are being applied in the proper manor. Just as with me caliber keeps rotating staff so as to make it impossible to speak to a complaint person and refused to comply with XXXX to provide the nessasary documentation to allow this process to be completed. I called caliber at least 6 times and XXXX has sent repeated letters via email and even had a conference to insure that it was OK to provide this information to a secondary company for security reason. Now I 'm at the end and this is why I contact you. I have nowhere else to turn. I 'm trapped between XXXX large companies that keep placing walls that I can not get through. Caliber will not comply with XXXX even after all the attempted contacts were made and both companies have full documentation of all attempts, calls and emails that have been sent or made.

Since XX/XX/XXXX the borrowers XXXX and XXXX XXXX have made SEVERAL attempts to resolve the XXXX lien dilemma with Specialized Loan Servicing. The problem begin when the homeowners sought to refinance prior to the maturity of the XXXX lien. The request was denied due to the " lack of equity '' found by the mortgage company - XXXX XXXX. Immediately contact was made with SLS to advise of the challenge prior to maturity. SLS stated the borrowers had to complete a hardship package and submitt via fax or email. The package was sent to borrowers and promptly completed in XX/XX/XXXX. The borrowers stated in supporting documents that they needed to settle the debt which they were told the file was under review for this option. However on at least 4 different occassions since this request was opened the borrowers have received loan modification packages which grossly exceed the borrowers affordability. The payment prior to the end of the maturity was under {$200.00} per month however since numerous requested for settlement, SLS releases calling for monthly payments that begin initially with {$600.00} to now over {$700.00} per month for the next 5 years. NO financial information has ever been submitted, because it is non-existent, that supports they can pay this! .Each and every time the various representatives - XXXX, XXXX , XXXX , XXXX and lastly XXXX , converse with me the do n't have the ability to comprehend what the request is of the borrowers and always ask for the Foreclosure prevention Change of Intent form. This form has been sent no less than 7 times! The borrowers have stated they would like to keep their property, submitted the settlement offer and proof of funds available to pay the settlement but this has been to no avail. I am told that the file is with the underwriter and most recently, I was told that there is equity in the home although I submitted a certified copy of the lenders appraisal which denied the refinance to include the SLS XXXX lien because of value.

Company: Harvest Credit Management VII, LLC (MO)

On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I received an original notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) that it was seeking to collect a debt on behalf of HARVEST CREDIT MANAGEMENT ( HARVEST ). XXXX alleges the original creditor was XXXX XXXX BANK ( XXXX ). The amount sought by XXXX was {$13000.00}, and the XXXX account number was XXXX ( see attached ). 

In response I sent a certified letter to XXXX advising that I do not recall owing such a debt, there was no validation of debt received, furthermore, any statute of limitations, if owed, would have expired ( see attachment for further explanation ). 

XXXX did respond advising that it would not seek further recovery and returned the matter to HARVEST. I thought that was the end of an alleged debt where no supporting information was received, or where it had been proven that the statute of limitations had not expired. 

Now, not even a month later, I received another demand for payment, of the same alleged debt, from XXXX ( XXXX ). XXXX alleges its client is HARVEST, and it is seeking {$13000.00} under account XXXX. It is also alleged that XXXX is the original creditor. I allege I do not owe a debt to XXXX, and that HARVEST and XXXX have no right to seek collection from me. If at any point I did have a XXXX credit card it would have been approximately 10 years ago, while living in California, which means any statute of limitations is long expired. I have not had a credit card, with any sort of large spending limit in years. Furthermore, XXXX chose not to send any sort of information backing its position including when the alleged debt was incurred with XXXX or HARVEST, there was no validation of debt. 

It appears HARVEST, XXXX, and XXXX are basically conspiring to collect an alleged old debt, that I believe is not owed. It appears HARVEST and XXXX are " Zombie Debt Collectors ''. As indicated above, this can be confirmed by the fact another company, XXXX, just tried to collect the same just months ago. Finally, I believe Dynamic is attempting to harass me as I had reported XXXX to the CFPB previously.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (CA)

On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I set up an on-line wire transfer payment to a Jewelry business in XXXX through my Chase.com on-line banking account. After I set up the payment, my on-line account access was blocked and I was told to call a Chase customer number. I called them thinking I had to " approve '' of the high value of the wire transfer ( {$11000.00} ). But the person on the phone said I had to go into a branch and talk to someone. 

I went into the branch and explained that I wanted to make a wire transfer and that my initial attempt had been cancelled. They never asked me why or they never called into the customer wire service center. It was approved by the manager at Chase and the wire went through. 

On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I had to go back to Chase because I still did not have access to my on-line banking account. Again, I called in and they said I had to go to the branch in person. I was helped by the manager and he called in to verify my account. The customer service person was asking him a variety of questions about the wire transfer and that they had picked up red flags and possible fraudulent activity. However, the wire transfer had already taken place 2 business days ago! So even if I said I wanted the wire transfer to be stopped, it would n't have been possible. The manager asked me if anyone who was helping me on XXXX XXXX, 2015 had called in like he did, I said no. 

Had I known this fraud warning, I would have NOT done the wire transfer. Period. Had a Chase representative call in to find out why the first wire transfer did not go through the issue would have been resolved. But for some reason, the employee 's at Chase did not look further into this matter. 

It turns out that the wire transfer to this business was fraud. And I have not received my product in return for my payment.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in those account to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
