Company: Couch Conville & Blitt LLC (TX)

Collection agency, who claims to be a law firm, Couch Conville & Blitt LLC, sent me an initial letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, allowing me 30 days to dispute the validity of the debt. 

HOWEVER, the actual postmark on the envelope and the mailing date was much later, on XX/XX/XXXX, thus shortening the amount of time I had to dispute the debt by NINE DAYS.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX)

Two issues with loan servicing for # XXXX  and formerly, # XXXX.

For the history of the loan, XXXX has had an escrow account in my name. 
The first issue occurred approximately 5 years ago ( XX/XX/XXXX ), Wells Fargo was taking money for escrow and did not pay my taxes or my insurance on time. I found out I owed the State of Texas and county in late fees. I paid those late fees because I really did not understand what was going on and the late fee were acquiring more late fees on top of the late fees ( for over three years, from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX

).
Again this month after several hours of calls, I found out that this loan was " newly acquired, effective XX/XX/XXXX and no escrow monies are taken out. '' My bank statement reflects money being taken out each month. See attached. What is happening to my escrow monies? 

Second, equally major issue is that the XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX, Form 1098, reflects line # 2,  Outstanding mortgage principle effective on XX/XX/XXXX as {$34000.00}. When I was inquiring with the XXXX agents about the issues with escrow not reflecting, they stated that I have a principle balance of {$49000.00}, effective XX/XX/XXXX. How can I owe more than $ 10k in one year to the bank, when I am making payments to the loan each month? Each year the 1098 form reflects the mortgage going down not up. 

Each time the XXXX information technology systems change, the customer ends up paying extra money or funds get mis-allocated. Also, the system is not accurately transferring my escrow money. 

Third issue is that the second loan, {$41000.00}, a home equity loan, formerly # XXXX, # XXXX, this loan was supposed to be against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NV XXXX. This house was short sold along with this loan in XX/XX/XXXX. Why did this loan not go away along with the short sale in XX/XX/XXXX?

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

After I saw Experian Credit Report on XX/XX/2018, I disputed several incorrect information. I received notification that Experian fixed the issues, I found no change and some information was adding up more incorrect information by them. 

It has been more than one month to correct simple information and Experian are making incorrect information worse each time I contact them. I saw their comment why they changed data more incorrect because I requested to do so. But I have never told them to correct information in wrong way. All what they say are incorrect and their conduct is unprofessional, incompetent.

My disputing items must be corrected immediately because it will be misrepresenting my information regardless my effort to fix with ill-intended changing to incorrect information based on my request which I never requested to them.

I told them to delete one credit card account because the card is upgraded to another card. There is no need to show both old card and current card. I told them to delete old card but they did not delete card and closed card. I disputed them again asking them why they closed the old account. One agent said he would correct information but later I found that Experian closed current card too
. And they commented that they closed 2 cards because of my request but I never requested them to do.

Today, I disputed with one agent and make him change the card status as I told him, and agent asked me if I contacted credit card bank. I said to hem what does he mean and bank has nothing to do with Experian 's showing incorrect information. I told him to open the current card, but he said that he could not open without Bank 's permission. After I heard him saying unbelievable statement, I was disgusted and thought there is no way to communicate with them anymore. And decided to file complaint to FTC. 
Please correct Experian 's unprofessionalism and disqualify them to serve as credit monitoring agency and also, fix my credit report with correct information.

I disputed a collection that hit my credit report to Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX. It is from XXXX XXXX for a XXXX bill for {$150.00}. I have filed a complaint with the company as well. Equifax responded back on XX/XX/XXXX stating the account is verified. How? I have an account with XXXX and still have cable so this information is wrong. Ive had multiple companies try to put this XXXX account on my credit. I was given no notification that this would be back on my credit. Nothing had been sent to me regarding how this information is correct. This account is not mine and it has not been validated

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (CA)

This is regarding XXXX visa card by Citi Bank. Citi bank says they mailed us the card which we never received. We do not even know the full credit cards number. The only number show on the statement shows account number ending in:XXXX Statement dated XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. Another statement dated XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX states account number ending in:XXXX. To our understanding these relates to the same account. We learned about this card when we got the first statement in XX/XX/XXXX.  Since then we have gone to XXXX, Citi Bank local branches and have called many times to Citi Bank. They have repeatedly told us that we are not responsible for any of the charges as it is fraud. We also have a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX from Citi stating that they have received our complaint and they are working on it. 
We did not hear from Citi and thought that they have resolved the issue and we are OK. However, recently we got a call from XXXX ( Extension XXXX ) saying that they are trying to collect due payment from us. We also got the letter from Citi that they have sold the account ( ending in XXXX ) to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY XXXX, XXXX ). We also got a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, River Edge, NJ XXXX, XXXX ) trying to collect debt from us of which we are not responsible! We also have informed XXXX XXXX ( XXXX, ext. XXXX ) that we are going to report this issue to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. We have done all we can on our part. We have never used the Citi Bank Visa Card in dispute, we never received it. We have nothing to do with this account. This all happened when XXXX XXXX XXXX was converted to Citi Visa. We currently have XXXX XXXX XXXX ( account ending : XXXX ) which we use and pay. We have told this to XXXX XXXX  on day one when we files our complaint. Citi knows it ans we are in good standing.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (IL)

Barclays inaccurate reporting is damaging my credit report such that it has caused a denial in financing for my home refinance. I am losing thousands of dollars because of their inconsistent and therefore inaccurate reporting. 

My report dated XX/XX/XXXX showed 7 90 day lates. Also the history shows that in XXXX it was 4 times late but then in the report dated XX/XX/XXXX shows it 5 times late. As a consumer that checks their credit they trust the information reported to be accurate ; clearly this is not the case. Then on my report dated XX/XX/XXXX the information changed to 33 90 day lates. 

This change in reporting caused my scores to drop so low that it disqualified me from the pending loan that I had been pre-approved for. In fact, the difference in reporting is causing a XXXX point difference between XXXX and XXXX. At a minimum I am requesting that this company report to XXXX the way they are reporting to XXXX or XXXX but as I understand it, if what they 're reporting is n't accurate the entire listing of this item should be removed from XXXX allowing my credit score to rise to enable me to obtain my financing without further delay. Attached are print-screen of my XXXX and XXXX credit reports showing the difference in reporting which is causing the XXXX credit score to be XXXX by XXXX points thus disqualifying me from my home refinance. 

When ordering my FICO scores the only difference between the XXXX score and the XXXX score ( Fico reason codes ) is that XXXX is reporting RECENT delinquency. This item is not a RECENTLY delinquent item ; it has been charged off for many months according to previous credit reports. It appears as if Barclays is deliberately misreporting this item ( with recent delinquent activity ) on XXXX in order to damage my credit score.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (AL)

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from XXXX. When I called the number back, I was told that it was XXXX XXXX XXXX. The rep said he was calling about a debt that I owed. I told him that I no longer owed the debt and had received a letter from the company stating that it was no longer owed. He became very rude. He told me that that couldn't be true. He said that there was a validation letter. I asked him for the validation letter, then he said that it was no longer available. I told him that I needed evidence of me owing the debt. He then became even more rude and asked why did I call if I didn't want to pay the debt. I continued to ask for validation. He then ignored me and said that he would speak to a manager about making a payment agreement. I hung up the phone because my question still hadn't been answered and I didn't ask for a payment agreement. Also, I haven't received a validation letter yet.

Midwest recovery systems placed a debt collection account on my report, I received no notice before hand in order to dispute. I've never received anything from this company and I never had a payday loan from the company they state it was with. I disputed the account on my credit report but it was of course verified by them. They have reported it as opening XX/XX/2017. I have not been provided with a single item showing I actually owe this debt yet they continue to verify.

Issue: Problem when making payments — 
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (MD)

I am enrolled in the XXXX XXXX upgrade program administered by Citizens Bank. The bank sends no statements whatsoever annotating payment history, and its online portal does not display any payment history. I am unable to obtain records for the payments I made, all on time and in full compliance with the loan terms, so that I can file the associate expenses for my mobile phone equipment on my 2017 taxes. 

Citizens Bank acknowledged the system was unable to denote the account history and submitted a ticket for repair back in early XX/XX/XXXX. It remains unresolved, and tax filing deadlines are at risk of being missed for business filings. 

The portion of the system that takes the customer 's money works flawlessly. The actual compliance and records portion still does not work, and it will ultimately end up costing me financially due to their inability to provide the agreed upon services.

Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (PA)

On XX/XX/2013 I received a letter from Portfolio Recovery Associates stating that I owe {$400.00}. Also on that same letter was a note giving me a chance for a settlement to clear off my debt. As I contacted the debt collection office some time later and was told that my debt was reduced to XXXX. I agreed to the amount and proceeded to pay. As the debt was paid off on XX/XX/2013, a confirmation number was given to me with an additional {$9.00} added on because the debt was paid over phone using a debt card. The representative declare that the payment went though and I was good to go. A confirmation letter was never sent to me. The company since then has not taken my name off the collection list for debt and has been repeatedly calling informing me that there is no record of me paying and even refuse to look up my confirmation number as proof that I paid. That debt is impacting my credit score and even as of now conflicting with my employer.

Company: NCC Business Services, Inc. (VA)

I don't understand how your company can list a fraudulent collection for services never rendered, due to substandard health conditions and a breach of contract. 
XXXX XXXX management did not have the apartment ready upon arrival. The kitchen cabinets were still on the ground in the kitchen, and the entire unit reeked of 2nd hand smoke that caused allergic reactions in my XXXX year old son, and within a few minutes latter my wife developed breathing problems. 
XXXX XXXX 's management employee would not accept the keys as it was XXXX minutes past XXXX XXXX. So I returned the next day to return the keys, after locking up the unit and not spending one day or night in the health hazard apartment. 
We drove away to my wife 's relative house to spend the night and on the 2nd day found a suitable apartment at XXXX 's XXXX in XXXX, XXXX XXXX. Call them yourselves and inquire about my payment history as you already see in my history record. Ask yourselves, why is the only collection action on my report from XXXX XXXX after 3 years? It's because they breach their agreement about having the apartment ready and it being a non-smoking unit. They failed to comply. Why are they supporting their collection actions by retaining it on my credit report. 

The collection agency is Florida based, and neither Virginia based nor is the apartment complex located in Florida.

Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (IN)

I am writing concerning a {$210.00} balance reported by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for a debt previously owed. According to the company the debt is a remaining balance for a debt originally in the amount of {$700.00}. However, the debt has been settled in full as of XX/XX/XXXX. 

I previously received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX which indicated if a payment of {$490.00} was received by XX/XX/XXXX the account would be " settled in full ''. As a result I obtained a money order from my financial institution on XX/XX/XXXX and mailed the item to Portfolio Recovery the same day. 

Despite paying the settlement, an additional {$210.00} balance was added to my credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a dispute of the {$700.00} balance and informed the agency of the settlement. I allowed 30 days for a response and have not had any feedback since that time. However, as of XX/XX/XXXX Portfolio Recovery has reported a {$210.00} balance. 

This is dishonest and incorrect. Is there anything that can be done to get this matter rectified? I would be happy to provide a copy of the settlement agreement provided by Portfolio Recovery as well as proof of the money order sent and date of receipt.
