Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: HW Holding, Inc (NC)

Dear Sir or Madam, I'm XXXX XXXX from XXXX, NC. I've been disputing this collection agency XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX, FL XXXX, XXXX : XXXX, Email : XXXX. I'm XXXX XXXX from XXXX, NC and I'm disputing a company called Huntington Warfield. I have contacted this company on several occasions since XXXX to resolve a debt that I disputed from a company name XXXX XXXX XXXX, that I had rented a home from over 2 years ago that claimed that I owed monies for basic wear and tear of the rental home. Therefore, they had sold the account to Hunter Warfield who has been harassing me for a couple of years to collect approximately {$2000.00} dollars. Therefore, this year Ive tried to contact to resolve the collection debt and to negotiate a pay-off. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called to negotiate a pay-off and the lady on the line stated she will allow me to settle and pay {$1400.00} to pay the {$2000.00} balance off in full. Therefore, I gave her my credit card information and paid {$1400.00} and she stated that I will receive a receipt that the debt was paid in full for the complete balance within 24-48 hours to my email. The complaint is the following day the lady calls back and states that I owe {$1500.00} more dollars before the debt will be paid off. I then reiterate what she had told me on XX/XX/XXXX, that my account balance was paid in full. She stated that she didnt tell me that. I was very upset and I disconnected with the lady at Huntington Warfield. I decided to call back on XX/XX/XXXX, and requested to speak with a manager and received a gentleman representative that stated I owe over {$2000.00} now and stated that the lady representative did not suppose to have negotiated with me on the balance. My second complaint is that they are trying to scam and price gauge me because my debt was only {$2000.00} and I paid {$1400.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. Therefore, how do I still owe {$2000.00}? Please help this collection agency has made my life so miserable and they are allowing me from being able to rent another place for me and my children to live and at this time we are currently homeless. Please HELP! 

Thanks, XXXX XXXX

Company: Colony Brands, Inc. (TX)

This is a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX located in XXXX, WI This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act as well as the Fair Credit Billing Act and has caused me much unnecessary financial AND mental distress. For starters, they're reporting an erroneous & unverifiable account on my credit report and not to mention an account in which I've asked for proof of claim and in which they have not been able to provide, per the FCRA & FCBA. Despite my efforts to resolve this unfortunate nightmare for several months now, XXXX XXXX has completely ignored my communications and legal submissions to remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. I am well aware of several other complaints filed against this company for their illegal and unethical business practices. Yet, somehow, this company is still in business. This company 's unprofessional & negligent behavior has caused lots of serious harm, not only to my ability to establish credit & good interest rates, but also to my character as a Professional and as an individual. Please help me, and the many other consumers just like me, to put a stop to the operation of these unethical & immoral business practices immediately. I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon.

Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (NJ)

On Sunday XXXX XXXX 2017 I walked into a TD Bank in XXXX N.J. to deposit a check that I was suspicious about its authenticity.The funds were sent to me by someone posing to buy something from me online and I was sent the movers money as well to pass on. I informed the teller that I was suspicious about the check and wanted to know when I can be sure the check was authentic before using the funds. The teller informed me that the check will take 2 days to clear and by Tuesday I should check to see if its still pending. Once the check is n't pending and the funds have been added to the account I can be sure the check was legit and cleared. I deposited part of the check and cashed the remainder and waited till Tuesday to use the funds.On Tuesday morning I checked and the check was no longer pending and the funds were safely in my account. I took the funds and sent them to the supposed mover. On Wednesday, I see that the amount for the check had been taken out of my account. Upon contacting the bank I was informed that the check had insufficient funds and the bank took out money from my account in the amount of the check.Basically I had been scammed.
I was shocked as I had suspected this may have been the case and deliberately asked the bank how to proceed.I followed the exact instructions given to me by the bank. The bank refuses to take any responsibility and insists that its my issue. How can I protect my own money when the bank helps the scammers and could care less about their own costumers? How was I to know not to trust the bank teller? How come there 's no laws protecting consumers from the banks mistakes?
I went back to the bank and videoed myself asking the bank teller the question again.I asked the question to 3 different tellers, receiving the identical answer. They assured me I have nothing to worry about once the check clears and funds have been permanently added to the account. I tried to enclose the video below, however the size was too big to upload. I 'm going to attempt to post it online wherever possible, in an attempt for the truth to get out, if there 's still someone left with some sort of honest conscious, someone who realizes there 's more to life than getting away with someone else 's money.
Its frightening to see how little the bank cares about you, the very institution who you trust your money with and is supposed to be helping you.Its 2017, and our country has laws protecting animals, plants, and ancient buildings, but cant get they 're act together to help people being bullied and taken advantage of by financial institutions. And lastly, its sad to see how when the bank helps lose your money, no one gives a XXXX, but if the bank loses a dime, they 'll turn the world over. Its time for either a class action lawsuit or a politician that actually cares to make noise and put an end to this.

Company: EVERBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MI)

XXXX XXXX, XXXX Dear XXXXureau of Consumer Financial Protection : I am hoping for your assistance with a matter which, I fear, will turn problematic in the near future. It involves my optometric practice and its relationship with an institution known as EverBank Financial, which may have formerly been a subsidiary of XXXX XXXX XXXX and is now owned by a finance and banking company which goes by the name of TIAA , FSB. I have been informed that the EverBank nomicker still exists under the control of TIAA , FSB. 

Three years ago XXXX XXXX of XXXX ), I entered into an agreement with EverBank to purchase a piece of examination equipment. This agreement was facilitated by the manufacturer of the instrument, XXXX XXXX. To my understanding ( and also to the understanding of the XXXX representative ), my agreement with EverBank was to be a loan, one which could be paid off in advance if I so desired. 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I took advantage of that option. I made a lump sum payment to EverBank to the exact penny of what EverBank said I owed if I was to pay in full ahead of schedule. Any final lump sum payment to pay off my debt was to be done at a discount from that which I would have to pay were I to continue with payments. I have that very specific documentation in an email from EverBank because I requested that information in order to make the proper payoff payment. [ I will gladly provide this evidence as well as a detailed expose of the bullying manner in which I have been treated by EverBank from the time our relationship commenced, if requested. I have pages upon pages of documentation ].
My obligation to EverBank is now fulfilled. Nevertheless, I continue to receive monthly statements from them in which they subtract the normal monthly payment from my large credit balance. 

My suspicion is that when EverBank makes the debit which finally zeroes my balance, they will find that I still owe a substantial amount of money. They have never been forthright and honest with me and do not know why it should be any different at that point. 

What I want right now is a letter which dismisses my obligation, a so-called Paid in Full notification. This is something which EverBank has been unwilling to provide, in spite of repeated requests through registered mail. I have never even received a response. 

Would you please help me get what is only right that they provide? I would greatly appreciate your assistance in any way you can. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (CA)

ON or about the day after XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted for a loan modification to my mortgage lender Mr. Cooper. At the time I was only 2 months behind ( {$3000.00} ). In my application I was not asking for a reduction in principal, i was simply asking to have the 2 months that I was behind moved to the end of the loan. After going back and forth with the company providing all of the documentation requested some of it duplicates. After me reaching out to them on numerous occasions to get updates or to see if they needed any additional documentation, I received a letter from Mr. Cooper dated XX/XX/XXXX informing me that they have denied my modification request. Now I owe roughly {$34000.00} and they have initiated foreclosure proceedings. Just this week I received a sale date of XX/XX/XXXX. I feel like this process should not have taken 1 year and 6 months for them to make a decision. It is as if they want me to loose my home. I am hoping this complaint will shed some light on Mr. Cooper home loan company and there practices as well as help me to save my home.

The law says that a dealership may have sent your loan application to multiple lenders to find the most favorable interest rates. If they all fell within a window of a few weeks, they will be considered rate shopping and will only count as a single inquiry in credit score calculations. XXXX  has counted them as 3 inquiries thereby impacting my score. The inquiries were all on the same day. This has also happened with equifax and XXXX  which I have not filed disputes with yet.

ILLEGAL REPORTING. 

Equifax Report : XXXX XXXX Collection {$2300.00} XXXX  Report : XXXX XXXX  ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Collection {$2300.00} XXXX Report : XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Collection {$2300.00} I initially disputed the debt and requested validation of a debt becuase I know that the debt should not be on credit report, yet it keeps being reported. Despite sending them multiple letters, plus proof from the court that this is not a valid debt they are reporting, theyc ontinue to report it and refuse to pull this account off my credit report. 

I am now escalating this complaint higher because they are continuing to allow illegal reporting of a debt that the courts have determined is not valid. 

I am not responsible for the account/collection that is showing up on my credit report. I have never done business with this company. They lied and said I had. Then they sued me and didn't show up to court. I showed up. The judge ruled in my favor because of this. 

I have repeatedly asked them to delete this account immediately, as keeping this there violates my rights and allows this company to post and claim I owe them money when I do not. This is a problem because the credit bureaus are assisting them with violating the law by not removing this faulty debt that does not belong to me.

I have a collection on my credit files from XXXX XXXX XXXX. ( Account number XXXX XXXX The collection was being handled by XXXX XXXX. I settled the debt with XXXX XXXX with the agreement that the balance would be removed from my file. 

I then disputed this with all three bureaus. The bureaus did not remove the balance but instead the settlement I made was applied to the existing balance leaving a balance. This is contrary to my arrangement with the agency and a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

I am receiving the exact same score reduction because of this balance that I received prior to the settlement. By law, therefore, XXXX XXXX is continuing to collect on an account that was settled in full. This " collection effort '' is accomplished by holding down my score because of the balance. 

I have attached the XXXX XXXX settlement letter.
