Company: CONDOR CAPITAL CORP (MD)

My car was repossessed on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I was out of work and could not keep up with my payments. I am now actively working and there will be no more issues. I was not notified by certified mail 10-days prior to the car being repossessed as required by Maryland law. I have paid all my past due payments and my loan is current until my next payment of {$460.00} is due on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. The loan company is charging me a {$450.00} repo fee but since I was not notified that my car was being repossessed I am not obligated to pay this fee since I was not notified in advance. They will not release my car until this {$450.00} fee is to be paid. I have attached the only correspondence I have received from them which was after my car was repossessed. Also, attached are the receipts showing payment of the past due payments. Thank you.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: Ad Astra Recovery Services Inc (TX)

In XX/XX/XXXX, I saw an entry on my credit report from Ad Astra Recovery for a loan they alleged I took out in XX/XX/XXXX. I sent a request for information proving the debt was indeed mine because I am certain I have never had any business dealings with this company. The first response was a generic response with just my personal information such as date of birth and last four of my social. ( which can be obtained through public records ) See attachment. I then submitted a dispute through the XXXX credit bureaus because according to XXXX what they provided was not proper validation so I requested that the information be removed from my credit file. The debt came back as " verified ''. In XX/XX/XXXX, Ad Astra sent me a settlement offer stating that I can make bi-weekly payments of {$220.00} to settle the debt however I refuse to settle a debt that has not been proven to be mine. See Attachment. I reached out to Ad Astra in XX/XX/XXXX, again requesting proper validation according to FCRA and Texas Finance Code, This time they responded with a " contract ''. I combed through all pages of documents NONE of which had my signature agreeing to the terms of this alleged contract with the original company nor did it include any documentation agreeing to a contract of terms of payment in which I have defaulted with Ad Astra. I believe this company is trying to take advantage of me as a consumer as if I do not know my rights. They have ignored my multiple request to validate this debt according to federal and Texas state law. So far what I have received in generic documentation that can not be used to conclude I indeed owe this debt. Again I do not have a contract with Ad Astra and the documentation showing a contract with the original company does not include my signature. It is obviously a typed fill in the blank contract. I want this removed from all XXXX bureaus immediately and all collection attempts ceased.

I closed my XXXX account in XXXX with the balance paid in full, and have documentation from XXXX showing this.

I have a document ( see attached ) from XXXX dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX stating that I returned my equipment and had no outstanding balance. This account has been repeatedly sent to collections agencies. In XXXX, I successfully disputed the charges and the collection agency XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX requested that all reference to this debt be removed from my credit history ( see attached ). Unfortunately, XXXX simply contracted another agency to collect the debt ( SW Credit ). I have called XXXX multiple times, but no one has been able to explain why I owe this money when I have a document showing that my account was paid in full when I closed it. They have not even been able to provide an email address that I should send a copy of the documentation to so that XXXX could evaluate it.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Don't agree with fees charged
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (FL)

Navient - Firstly, I dont believe i ever approved my loans being sold to a third party like navient but the point of this is they are reporting to the gov. about half of the interest I actually paid to them. The XXXX I received was half what I actually paid verifiable with my bank account and loan statements. Seems to me they are trying to report less interest paid so they can cover up the ridiculous rates and fees. I dont think interest is calculated correctly at all on my account. 

Now, for the past 3 years i have been making double payments consistently. Fortunately unlike so many others i am able to pay these loans with no problem. However, after just making larger payments all of a sudden the interest rate jumps from 2.8 % to 5 % an 80 % jump? Their actions are completely criminal. Why do they use students like this? is my 2 points really going to make/break the bank? Im not even worried about me. Ill be fine but how many other things do they slip in under the rug to rake in millions off the backs of the students of this country. It really needs to be stopped. I dont even know what to do. I feel completely helpless.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (PA)

RE : File # XXXX I 'm complaining because Transunion have failed to comply with, furthermore wilfully ignored, my request to provide me with the documents that their company have on file that was used to verify the accounts that I disputed in writing back in XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent them a dispute letter requesting that they verify all data for the disputed accounts and 40+ days later I have yet to receive anything of the sort. Because it is well past the 30 days permitted by law, and they are unable to verify the accounts, the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) explicitly states that they are required by federal law to " ... promptly delete all information which can not be verified. '' namely the accounts in my dispute. <P/>I ask that you resolve this matter with urgency as my character is being defamed by their wilful non-compliance with the FCRA. Thank you.

Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION (OH)

I filed for bankruptcy in XX/XX/XXXX, I had made a payment to Credit Acceptance and once I had filed they started to refuse my payments. I had understood they were to obe paid outside of the bankruptcy and made every attempt to pay them. I had even told my attorney of what they wee doing. They told me to keep trying to make the payment and they would handle it. I was them made to pay them current from the time I filed and yet they still refused my payment I continued to let my attorney know. I then made a large payment of {$1800.00}, that is when they took that payment, then again they refused payment. Then XX/XX/XXXX I get a notice from the credit bureau stating the account had been closed. I then made another large payment of {$800.00}. and yes they took it and asked why my account was reporting closed. I was told that they did not know why it was closed but I can still make payment. Every month since XX/XX/XXXX I have tried to make payments and they either hang up on me or not take the money out of the account in which I choose to have the money taking out of each month. Then today they came and repossessed the car and I showed the man picking up the car and he told me to make a report.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

Dear Equifax and XXXX, I attached a copy of the letter from XXXX XXXX stating your company to delete and remove this account immediately from my credit report and credit files. I still want to know why your company violated my consumer rights because based on this letter XXXX stated they sent a request for Equifax to delete this account on XXXX XXXX, 2016. Therefore, both Equifax and XXXX have violated my rights under Fair Credit Reporting Act for reinserting a recently deleted item back on my credit report as well as did not comply with the collection agency request. I have already talked to a consumer attorney on this matter and I will be forwarding this letter to the Better Business Bureau as well as the Attorney General Office.
