Issue: Disclosure verification of debt — Not disclosed as an attempt to collect
Company: Lionstone Holdings Group (AZ)

I received a call from someone trying to serve me paperwork on a debt, they left the contact information. I called the number I was provided XXXX and spoke with XXXX XXXX. He verified my SS # and date of birth. He proceeded to tell me about some debt from 2011 that I owe {$1400.00} on. He never informed me that this was an attempt to collect a debt. He stated to me that they are persuing legal action and going to get a judgement against me. I asked him several questions about the process. XXXX did n't want to answer my questions and was rude in his response and tone. I tried to verify what address they had on file for me and the address was in a state I have never lived in. He said it didnt matter they would still get a judgement against me even if they dont have my correct address. I told him he didnt need to be rude to me as I was just asking him some questions

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NY)

Dear Sir or Madam ; This complaint I am filing is against my servicer America 's Servicing Company. They violated the dual tracking laws. In XXXX they told me I can apply for loan mod and I did. I faxed them my loan modification application on XXXX XXXX. After 2 weeks of waiting for them to reply they told me that they cant accept my application because they posted a sale date for XXXX XXXX. America 's Servicing Company was the one who contacted me telling me that I was eligible for a loan modification and to send my application in the meantime they were foreclosing on me. They violated the dual tracking laws and lied to me. I plead with the Consumer Financial Protection bureau to protect me and investigate my servicer for acting in bad faith.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC (CT)

XXXX XXXX XXXX originally had my mortgage and sold it to Carrington Mortgage Services. Back in XXXX XXXX, I received a letter from Carrington stating they were going to place lender coverage on my property because my HO6 ( condo homeowners insurance ) was cancelled. I spoke with XXXX and they sent over the insurance declaration page, along with a bill to Carrington ( they escrowed for taxes and insurance ). Fast forward, XXXX XXXX I receive another letter from Carrington stating they were going to place lender coverage on my property because my HO6 insurance had been cancelled. I called XXXX to ask why I was receiving this letter when I thought it was taken care of 9 months ago. XXXX stated they sent the bill to Carrington, and it was never paid. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I contact Carrington to let them know of their mistake ; and XXXX will not underwrite another policy for me because the property has been uninsured for over 6 months. Basically I am told by companies that I am uninsurable. I tell Carrington supervisor ( XXXX ) to place the lender coverage and reimburse my escrow account the difference ; because the XXXX coverage was {$370.00} annually compared to their coverage of {$800.00} annually. He tells me he needs to research this, and will give me a call back. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I finally receive a call back from Carrington, stating they will need to further research, but I will need to find a company to place coverage, and than they will look into reimbursement. I let Carrington supervisor ( XXXX ) know that is impossible because I am considered uninsurable now, and they need to fix their mistake, and I will be reporting them. She lets me know that she will inform department about my dilemma, do some additional research, and get back to me. Meanwhile, my condominium ( which is a rental property ) has been uninsured since XXXX XXXX, and there is no resolution in sight.

" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Prior to renewing my mortgage, An Ocwen broker stated that I had to be delinquent to qualify for a lower rate. I paid late to get a better rate and Ocwen filed documents about delinquent payments. I currently make my payments by way of direct deposit and get charged fees for late related charges. Payments are made timely and never missed. Ocwen informed me that the fees are for prior year late payments and/or postage fees. Ocwen refuse to remove the information from my credit report and is being unfair about the additional fees. The mortgage company is also showing a deferred balance on my account that should have been included in my refinance. I only requested a lower interest rate and not an extension of fees for time to pay. The changes was suppose to be a part of a government program not Ocwen 's program.

Received a call that left a voice mail message about PFC Number was XXXX XXXX XXXX. In the message they said to look up online aboutPFC.com No indication of who they were looking for, or what the debt was. Checked my credit report and found there is no negative information on it. Also, I have no unpaid debts. 

Does n't sound like a legitimate debt collection agency at all!!!! 

Also I have received no notices for debt collection. Nothing absolutely nothing in writing. 

Made several calls to the number given and always straight to voice mail due to " high call volume '' Seriously? A debt collection agency so busy with people calling in to pay their bills that they ca n't answer the phone? 

This must be a total scam and a fraud. 

This morning I looked up online and there was a local number in the XXXX area code. So I called that and they refused to confirm that they actually knew my name or to tell me what the issue was. I told them to call me back and identify the issue and who they were looking for if they wanted to get it resolved. 

The lady on the phone insisted that I give them personal information over the phone to prove I was the person they were looking for. She said I should call back when I was ready to resolve the issue. Too busy to even call me back? What kind of scam operation is this?

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.
