Company: RS Clark and Associates, Inc. (TX)

RS Clark located in XXXX, TX was attempting to collect a debt that I was not aware was owed to a specialty clinic. I requested to have more detailed information of proof of debt since my father has the same name as me and was wondering if it belonged to my father or myself. While evaluating the documentation they provided they did not allow enough time for me to verify the debt with the specialty clinic so I went ahead and paid twice, one payment was mailed through regular mail, RS Clark claimed they did not receive, the second attempt of payment was made electronically with that RS Clark agreed that they would not report any derogatory information to the credit bureaus. RS Clark still went ahead and filed a derogatory collection information with all three credit bureaus.

These attempts including reach out to Consumer Financial Protection agency ( Case # XXXX & XXXX ). So far, I have XXXX written confirmation letters from HSBC pertaining to the closing of credit card. But despite the confirmation letters, HSBC decides to harass me yet again about the account that I close XX/XX/XXXX and demand payments. There is very little an individual can do against a big financial institution like HSBC. I was diligent in making payments, contacting the bank to close the account and I have the letters from HSBC confining it is close. But none of this matter when HSBC can decide to send me a statement demanding payment and and resume the harrassments. Even letter from HSBC with the agency case number does not stop the bank to come after me again.

Company: Credit Protection Association, L.P. (WI)

I moved from my old home to my new home, during the process an unpaid electrical bill was left outstanding. I was unaware of this until I received a letter regarding the debt. After careful investigation on my part I determined the debt was genuine and called them to pay it. I asked if my credit report was affected to which I was told if I paid that day it would not be. I paid the debt on XXXX/XXXX/16, I received confirmation from the debt collector and have a bank statement showing the debt was paid. I continue to get calls every day from them seeking payment. The debt collector uses a automated system that makes you jump through hoops to speak with a real person. It can take up to 30 mins or more to finally get to a real person. I have called them three times now, each time explaining to the person the debt is paid. I give them the confirmation number and tell them stop calling me. They promise to resolve the issue, except the next day I will get called again, and again. I have had enough, and I think it is time they start paying me for the time I have lost calling them back. The debt collector still claims I owe the debt as well, despite my confirmation receipt from them and my bank statement showing them being paid.

Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC (CA)

I am refinancing my mortgage. A payoff demand was sent to the current mortgage servicing company on XXXX/XXXX/16. They issued an inaccurate payoff, because when they took over servicing of this mortgage they mistakenly created the account as a daily simple interest rate loan, instead of a 30-year fully amortized mortgage. Repeated efforts to get them to correct their error and issue an accurate payoff have failed, and my refinance can not proceed without an accurate payoff. Please note : This mortgage and another mortgage on a different property closed at the same time with the same originator on identical Notes except for the principal amount and interest rate. The same firm is now servicing both mortgages, but they got XXXX wrong ( as a daily simple interest loan ) and the other XXXX right ( as a 30-year fully amortized mortgage ).

I tried calling the lender 2 times and those representatives were rude. I tried to explain that my husband is sick and in the process of filling for XXXX with the help of his doctors. I am working XXXX jobs and am not able to make the current payments to the lender so I called to find out about forbearance or deferment or possibly reducing the payments until I can get more money to pay. The representatives refused to help and suggested other parties pay the loan, this is uncalled for because it is my loan to pay. The XXXX gentlemen I talked to was polite and able to help a little. If the company is unwilling to work with me to reduce payments or help with deferment or forbearance, I am going to need to look into loan forgiveness or possibly filling bankruptcy with my husband once his XXXX is approved. The company is in the practice of predatory lending and has been under investigation for such things, this is a perfect example of this conduct.

Company: AMERICAN HONDA FINANCE CORP (MN)

My mother died in XXXX XXXX and at the time of her death was leasing a car from Honda Financial Services, with whom her account was in good standing ( i.e., she had made all lease payments on time and in full ). Upon her death, we voluntarily surrendered her car to Honda Financial Services in pristine condition, provided Honda with a copy of my mother 's death certificate, and proactively inquired as to what balance was owed on her lease. In response, Honda first sent a confusing letter in XXXX XXXX that insinuated ( a ) that they had repossessed the vehicle ( when in fact it was voluntarily returned ) and ( b ) that my deceased mother owed Honda a {$15000.00} " Gross Early Termination Amount '' ( in spite of a lease agreement that specifies that the Early Termination Liability is the lesser of the remaining payments due on the lease term - which in total amounted to only {$5700.00} - or the Standard Early Termination Liability ( good luck figuring out the legal jargon used to articulate the definition for this term ). Now, Honda has sent correspondence indicating that they have " charged off '' my mother 's account and threatening my deceased mother that if she does not pay her balance in full ( a balance that Honda has yet to communicate as of XXXX XXXX ), then Honda may pursue unspecified legal action. On one level, this is laughable, as Honda is attempting to communicate with a deceased person. On another level, it is infuriating and insulting as I have proactively contacted Honda no fewer than four times, attempting to determine what amount was owed on the lease and was prepared to pay the amount lawfully due under the terms of her lease. Most concerning, however, is the fact that Honda Financial Services ' written communications and stated terms and conditions are deceptive in nature and their business practices are despicable.
