Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (TX)

I recently requested copies of my credit report in  XXXX   XXXX  to review for accuracy. I noticed a negative reporting account fro m Portfolio Recovery and immediately sent a request via certified mail to request validation of this debt. Portfolio Recovery was in  receipt of this letter on  XX/XX/XXXX . I also disputed this information with the credit bureaus who stated th at Portfolio Recovery valida ted the request they sent. I received a letter dated  XX/XX/XXXX  fro m Portfolio Recovery statin g that I allegedly owed {$360.00}. There are several issues with this negative account being listed on my report and a lot of the information makes no sense and I am hereby requesting immediately deletion of this account for the following reason.  <P/>  1.  This company is reporting and has validated with the credit bureaus an amount that contradicts the paperwork they have sent me. My credit report has an alleged debt listed in the amount of {$360.00}, however they have sent me a letter, on th eir OWN letterhead that states an alleged amount of {$360.00}. This is a direct violation of the FDCPA 808 ( 1 ) Unfair Practices that states " ( 1 ) The c ollection of any amount ( including any interest, fee, charge, or expense incidental to the principal obligation ) unless such amount is expressly authorized by the agreement creating the debt or permitted by law.  <P/>  2. Per my hard copy credit report, Portfolio Recovery claims th ey verified data that does n't even make any sense. They have reported to  XXXX  that the account was open on  XX/XX/XXXX , however also reported the " date of  XXXX  delinquency '' is  XXXX  and also the " date of major delinquency  XXXX  reported ''  XXXX . How can you report the account was opened in  XXXX  but state the date of  XXXX  delinquency is  XXXX ? This makes absolutely no sense.  <P/>  XXXX . I have never entered into a contract or agreement and have never done business with  Portfolio Recovery.   <P/>  4. This alleged debt does not belong to me and Portfolio Recovery h as failed to provide accurate information or validation of this alleged debt.  <P/>  5. Portfolio  is unable to provide me with an agreement between them and the original creditor they have listed.  <P/>  Portfolio Recovery  has been known to display deceptive tactics in order to collect monies from consumers and has been fined previously by  the Consumer Protection Finance Bureau ( a s recent as (  XXXX  ) and this a perfect example of this tactic.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NC)

I have been in the process of trying to do a deed in lieu with CitiMortgage officially since XX/XX/XXXX when I vacated the my home. I have had several different negotiators and they are have just been stone walling me. I have a second mortgage which I had to get approval from them to accept the settlement offer that Citimortgage as offering to them. XXXX XXXX finally accepted their offer but now My negotiator keeps stating that she is not receiving the documents that have been sent over to them. I had to get an extension from XXXX XXXX because of CitiMortgage. We obtained the extension which was until XX/XX/XXXX because Citi needed a 30 day time span. XXXX XXXX sent them the extension on XX/XX/XXXX and I sent it to them on or around XX/XX/XXXX. <P/>My Citi negotiator does not respond to any of my questions and now I am again receiving a request for the extension along with the XXXX forms all of these items have been sent to Citi on 3 or 4 occasions. <P/>I emailed a compliant recently to Citimortgage and am waiting on a response. However I emailed a complaint to Citimortgage in XX/XX/XXXXand the only thing that happened was I received a letter from XXXX XXXX in response actually trying to blame me for the reason it is taking so long for my deed of lieu to complete. <P/>I need help with Citimortgage. My negotiator does not read my emails and I want this issue to come to a conclusion. The longer it take my negotiator to do her job the worse my credit gets. unfortunately I lost my job and was unable to keep up with the payments on my mortgage. Citimortgage was suppose to help me and make this issue go smoothly. Their own paperwork stated that the process should take only 2 months. I lost my job on XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX I advise Citimortgage that I would not be able to make payments, I put my home on the market and because of where we lived I was unable to sell my home. <P/>I know that Citimortgage does not care if this process goes through or not but there is a system set up for them to help me to complete this deed in lieu and they are to doing their jobs. <P/>Citimortgage has turned this process into an absolute nightmare and I need help from someone that can make them do their job so that I can begin my life over again. Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I previously sent a letter to address the errors and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received a response even after XXXX days. It seems like my disputes are being overlooked and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since the deadline has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated without delay. If not, I may have to take legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was impacted by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

My account with ( CREDITOR NAME ) 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.

( CREDITOR NAME ) 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

On XXXX XXXX, I received a call from XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXXXXXX, at XXXX XXXX XXXX ID XXXX Wells Fargo Home Mortgage | XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX | XXXX, VA XXXX XXXX XXXX Tel XXXX | Fax XXXX to refinance my home. I was reluctant to refinance with Wells Fargo because they declined my application a year ago and returned my appraisal fee. After he offered to shorten my payoff from 24 years to 20years and lower my interest rate. I was excited for a second chance to refinance so I agreed and he sent me a Wells Fargo link to log into to submit required documents for approval. They sent me an email with a few appraisal companies to appraise my home and the cost of the appraisal was {$510.00} because he stated that he could not go forward without the appraisal fee. After I chose the appraisal company, XXXX XXXX and Escrow ( XXXX ) XXXX in XXXX XXXX., XXXX XXXX asked me to write the check to Wells Fargo , which I did. I did not receive a receipt or a statement about appraisal refunds I was not approved but when I asked about it he assured me that I would get approved. As weeks went by, after they received my check, they kept asking for more documents and went as far as to ask my husband for documents even when his name was not on the refinance application. I felt that XXXX XXXX was delaying my application so the 90 day time frame would run out. Just as I thought, I received a call from XXXX XXXX onXX/XX/XXXX stating my loan was declined because my husband did not make enough money. I asked why didnt you tell me this earlier and you assured me that I was going to be approved and when I asked for my appraisal payment to be refunded, he told me the company will not refund my money and there was nothing he could do. I am writing you hoping you can investigate this issue because when I applied for a refinance with Well Fargo a  year ago and was declined, my appraisal was refunded within 30 days. I feel I was scammed and is very disappointed with what just happened to me. Please help. <P/>Others Involved : XXXX  XXXX XXXX  XXXX

XXXX 2013 two men came to my door to demo a XXXX XXXX. I ended up getting financed through United Consumer Finance Services ( UCFS ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Ohio XXXX. At that time the XXXX men did n't have all the items to the sweeper because they said they sold all of them and all they had was the demo one which was still new but they said they would bring me the rest the nest day. Which the items were the shampooer and hoses/attachments. So the next day I try calling and texting the seller with no response and kept trying everyday for about a week then he texted back and told me sorry that he was fired and I would have to call XXXX to get the items which I did but they ended up telling I had to pay for the all the items which really was upsetting. I ended telling them I did n't want it then since I should have got those items in the first place. After that I contacted UCFS to tell them I returned the sweeper but got a very rude lady who did n't care nor would listen to the problem. I just let it and did n't bother with it until XXXX  of this year I wanted to check my credit because I wanted to buy a house and this whole time UCFS has been reporting the info on all reports. I tried to Dispute it through the credit places but that did n't work so I made a complaint through BBB which went on a good month back and forth because this company is rude and wont listen and to top it off LIED! I got them the name and number to the guy that sold me the sweeper and text messages of me not getting the items. UCFS went on lying saying they called me several times and I told them i was completely satisfied which was not the case i tried telling the guy from UCFS that i never said and went on to tell him about the very rude lady that works for him and he just did not listen or work with me. Its not fair to pay for something that was returned first off nor is it fair to suffer credit wise because of XXXX companies! I just want this off my credit as it should have been when the item was returned. Plus they purposely flagged my credit for lates so my score dropped more because I disputed it and made a complaint. Is that even allowed? I just want to add that XXXX XXXX is the XXXX guy in the text message documents.
