Issue: Unsolicited issuance of credit card — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (CA)

I was researching to consolidate credit card debt. Lending tree rated a Chase credit card as very good. Filled out the application to see what l could qualify for. They stated on the web site, amount and interest % based on qualifying credit. The next thing I knew I was being congragelated for my new credit card! ( XXXX mins. ). I was never shown the terms of the credit card to either accept or decline before they issued the account! Whith in XXXX seconds I spent XXXX minutes trying to contact and speak to someone with Chase credit card support to decline the credit card. Very rude and condescending customer support. There only solution that was offered to me was to cancel the account, an account I never had the opportunity to view the terms of. I voiced my displeaser on the negative consequences of opening and cancelling a credit account towards my credit history report. Basically told " not their problem ''.

Company: Como Law Firm P.A. (FL)

XXXX XXXX from Como Law Firm called me today regarding a debt that I do not owe. He would not answer any questions about the debt and became angry and extremely rude when I said I would not make any type of a payment to him without understanding what it is he says I owe. I informed him that I have saved email communication from the apartment manager that he is claiming I owe this debt to in which the manager is telling me there was a glitch in their system and I OWE NOTHING but he would not accept the information. I asked him exactly what the debt was for and he could not answer that question. I then asked for an itemized list of what the debt is for and he said " Did you not just hear me, XXXX? I do n't have it. '' and he hung up on me. I pay my bills and have excellent credit and do not want to pay a debt that I not only do not owe, but do not know what is for. XXXX XXXX spoke to me in a degrading, rude manner and I do not deserve this type of treatment.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: HCFS Healthcare Financial Services of TeamHealth (FL)

In XXXX, 2015 I entered a written dispute with ARS ACCOUNT RESOLUTION SERVICES reference account numbers XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX as contained on my consumer credit profile at XXXX XXXX XXXX. Specifically alleged, ARS ACCOUNT RESOLUTION SERVICES was attempting to collect a debt for which I had no knowledge and alleged was potentially opened by an unknown third party. Moreover, said accounts were appearing twice on my consumer credit profile notwithstanding the allegation of a single debt owed. 

ARS ACCOUNT RESOLUTION SERVICES failed to investigate, verify, or validate said debt. Although I also filed a cease and desist demand with ARS ACCOUNT RESOLUTION SERVICES an absolute requirement of the Fair Credit Reporting Act is to report said debt as disputed pending resolution of an investigation. ARS ACCOUNT RESOLUTION SERVICES failed to report said debt as disputed and failed to conduct an investigation into my allegations of potential fraud. As such, my credit worthiness has been negatively impacted by the erroneous reporting of these accounts. 

A review of records compiled by the XXXX Financial Services in Florida indicates that ARS ACCOUNT RESOLUTION SERVICES is not currently licensed to conduct business pursuant to section XXXX, Florida statute. As such, the imposition of this debt and the erroneous reporting to XXXX XXXX XXXX is an unfair and deceptive trade practice. 

Several phone calls to ARS ACCOUNT RESOLUTION SERVICES have met upon deaf ears. When I called to inquire on the status of the disputed account, I was advised that Florida licensing was not required. I was further advised that the debt remained due notwithstanding a lack of validation and claim of potential fraud. At this point the call was terminated. My written dispute remains outstanding. Said accounts remain on my XXXX XXXX XXXX notwithstanding the existence of a dispute, lack of validation, and my allegations of potential fraud.

On XXXX/XXXX/15 I called Huntington Bank to get a payoff for a car loan. The information I seen showed a balance of {$3600.00}. I was told that there would be a early payoff fee of {$120.00} added along with two days of interest and insurance for the time it would take for the money to reach the bank. The Payoff was made on XXXX/XXXX/2015 a day earlier than they had predicted. I called the bank the following day and asked how they would send the money for the one day of interest and insurance that was paid? I was told that I would get a check along with the title to the car. Title was received on XXXX XXXX, 2015 but no check was with it. I called Huntington XXXX XXXX, 2015 and was told by XXXX that a check and a letter with the breakdown of the charges would be mailed out. XXXX XXXX, 2015 I called Huntington and spoke with XXXX the supervisor that told me that he would email me the breakdown and that he would have XXXX call me on Monday XXXX XXXX, 2015 about the refund. Never received the call from XXXX to this day XXXX XXXX, 2015. The breakdown of the charges that XXXX emailed ( see attached ) was not what I asked for. The amount I was charged on XXXX XXXX, 2015 was {$3700.00}. If you add the {$120.00} early payoff fee the balance would be {$3700.00}. Add {$3.00} for two days of insurance and interest would leave an over payment of {$1.00} owed me.

Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay — 
Company: Mobiloans, LLC (OR)

In XXXX 2014 I took out a {$1000.00} 'Line of Credit ' at about the same percentage as a payday loan from a tribal lender - Mobiloans. Over the course of the next 10 months I made regular payments of {$95.00} every two weeks. A few times I paid off the loan completely, only to need to take it out again. In XXXX I signed up with a debt management program. Mobiloans denied the proposal, saying they do n't work with those. I was told they would not accept any payment discussions on my loan until I was 30 days late. Once at 30 days, I called back to again discuss payment arrangements. I was not trying to 'settle the debt ', I was trying to pay it back with arrangements I could handle in my budget. I was told I could pay {$950.00} in XXXX installments of {$470.00} each within 30 days and this would satisfy the remaining amount due of {$1300.00}. I was told this would be accepted as payment in full and release me from the remaining debt. At great hardship, I made these payments on time, for a grand total of {$5000.00} paid on {$3400.00} loaned. 
During the entire time I was making on-time payments, nothing was reported to my credit report at all. As soon as I made the last payment of {$470.00}, my Transunion reported showed up with a Mobiloans account, of {$1300.00} Charged Off/Unpaid to Collections. 
I immediately called, and was directed to email Mobiloans Disputes. Disputes told me they would change it to Charged Off/Balance {$0.00} because I had 'accepted a settlement '. At no time during the payment arrangements was I told this would report to my credit this negatively. Usually Charge Offs are reported when there are XXXX plus months of non payment. This was not the case. 
I offered to pay the remainder of the amount they accepted as Paid in Full just to have this removed. They refused, saying it was my mistake that I chose the settlement option. I asked that they remove the Charge Off then as this was only hurting my credit, not them, as they 'd received {$1500.00} above the original loan paid back in full. I was told that they had to report 'accurately '. However, they had not reported 'accurately ' the amounts paid, nor the good payment history before the accepted final payment. 
I 've sent multiple letters and called numerous times. At best, I 've been told 'I should be thankful they are only reporting XXXX '.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NY)

I applied for a primary home mortgage through Wells Fargo in the XXXX of 2014. After reviewing my credit/income information, WF issued me a commitment letter for the purchase of my home dated XXXX/XXXX/2014. It was a 15 year mortgage with 20 % down and a 3.625 % interest rate. Closing was scheduled for some time in XXXX. Just before closing, WF told me that based on the appraisal report, I was required to bring {$500.00} to closing and put siding on XXXX side of the property ( I have never heard of an appraiser requring work to be done on the property ). I objected to the last minute notice and the additional monies I would need. The WF rep told me that I could put 15 % down, pay PMI and a slightly higher interest rate to fund the siding and additional monies required at close. I refused their offer. About a week later, just as I was about to put siding on a house I did not own, WF told me their underwriting unit rejected the loan application because I did not provide suitable comps, even though comps had been submitted to them months ago. Closing was pushed back yet again. Additional comps were provided, but those comps were deemed unsuitable. I was never told why. I then asked WF whether they were rejecting my loan and that I would need a written rejection to get my XXXX security deposit back. They would not respond. I pursued a loan with another lender, and settled within three weeks. A few months later, WF officially rejected my loan due to my credit ( although they had already approved me through a commitment letter ). I believe that the entire process was a scheme designed to suck me in with a great interest rate, and then at the last minute claim I had to come up with more money to close, thereby getting me me to lower my down payment, pay PMI and a higher interest rate. WF 's deceptive sales practices caused me to incur additional moving, storage and living expenses in the amount of $ XXXX. Plus, I paid additional appraisal fees to XXXX lenders ( approx. {$500.00} ).

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc. (TX)

I have multiple loans that were reported delinquent by Nelnet, past the 120-day mark, while I was still meeting all enrollment requirements to defer my payments. This has left my credit severely damaged. I have proof from my University that I was enrolled during the alleged delinquency, and have submitted dozens of requests for review of my dispute. Nelnet only accepts disputes via fax, which is an absurd limit on the capabilities of communication for something so serious. It took them months to finally reply, only to reject my dispute with very vague reasoning. 

My credit has been majorly impacted for these delinquencies that should never have been triggered in the first place. These reports need to be removed from my credit score.
