Product: Debt collection — Credit card
Issue: Communication tactics — Used obscene/profane/abusive language
Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (TX)

This is an account that my ex-husband racked up. He was supposed to pay this and did n't. Now, my current husband and I are applying for a mortgage. My husband is willing to pay this off but needs to have it removed from the credit report. They said they wo n't do that and that I can request the credit bureau to do that ( false ). 
While on the phone with them, they repeatedly tried to get information out of my husband ( name, address, etc. ). They threatened to keep calling until the debt was paid and the person was very rude. She had a very bad attitude. In my opinion, I should n't be treated like that if I am trying to pay the debt.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (NY)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from Navient claiming that I did not make my XX/XX/XXXX payment. I pay my student loan bill EVERY MONTH between the XXXX and the XXXX of the month, and have not missed a payment since I began my payback in XXXX. I sent them a copy of my bank statement to prove that I did, indeed, make this payment, and I was told they would get back to me. I then got another call more than a week later claiming that I also did not make my XXXX payment ( which was sent by my bank on XX/XX/XXXX ). After calling AND emailing them my proof of payments, they came back by saying they were going to investigate what happened to my payment. It turns out that the XXXX payment ended up being applied to my daughter 's student loan ; however, it was not the loan that I co-signed for her. It was ANOTHER of her loans that did not even have my name affiliated with it. While they retroactively applied the payment to my XXXX bill, they are still claiming I never paid in XX/XX/XXXX. In the midst of this issue, Navient sent me a XXXX payment history, which I checked against my bank statements. I discovered that I was never credited for my XX/XX/XXXX payment at all. I sent them proof of payment and asked why they never claimed that I was late for XXXX. I would have sent the proof back then if they had made that claim. Instead, they took my money and did not credit me at all. So out of the past four months, this has been the issue : XXXX they were paid, yet I was not credited ( sent proof of payment ) XXXX no issues XXXX claimed I did not pay ; they had credited it to one of my daughter 's loans and not mine XXXX claimed I did not pay and have not corrected the error as of yet. 
I am going to have to go back to XXXX to double check each and every payment to see whether or not I was credited accordingly.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Seterus, Inc. (CA)

I have been trying to re-fi my home. Seterus, Inc in my current mortgage company. I have requested several documents to be faxed or mailed to me. I gave XXXX different fax numbers and I was told it was sent at least 4 times to each number. I finally gave them the number to the lender I was working with. It was received. This was on XXXX XXXX. 
I then found out on XXXX XXXX, 2016, that Seterus, Inc. paid XXXX different homeowners policies. I am now trying to seek reimbursement from the Insurance company I cancelled with. I requested information from Seterus, Inc and I was told I would receive within XXXX 7 days. Today is the XXXX, and still nothing. I called Seterus, Inc. and explained what I was calling about. I was put on hold and disconnected. I called back again, explained the situation, and again, put on hold and then disconnected. I called a third time, and finally reached a good representative who was willing to help me. She explained that it was cancelled because they only process XXXX request per 30 days. What the heck??? I have never heard of something so obsurd, not to mention, the request was due to their mistake. Due to a bankruptcy, they will not send me a statement, nor will they re-instate my loan. It does not show on my credit report. I have had this company for past 6 years and it is always an act of congress to get anything I need without calling several times. This customer service is the absolute worst and I get a different answer every single time I call about the same issue. How can a company be so horrible? I filed bankruptcy due to a life changing event, but I did not file against my home. I have never been late on payments, nor behind. I feel as if I am being discriminated against because I had to file bankruptcy. 
I have read so many reviews about Seterus, Inc, and they are all the same. 
Is there anything that can be done to straighten this Mortgage company out???

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXXXXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

I am submitting a complaint regarding a settled account inaccurately reported as a charge-off by XXXX and Equifax. This account was settled for less than the full balance, yet both bureaus continue to report it derogatorily, negatively impacting my credit profile. 

XXXX reflects the account as " {$0.00} paid '' and " legally paid in full for less than full balance. '' However, this designation still adversely affects my creditworthiness, prompting my request for deletion from all three bureaus. 

These inconsistencies violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) regarding accurate reporting and 1681i concerning my right to dispute inaccuracies. Additionally, the reporting of charge-offs for multiple months may violate regulations on timely reporting. 

I request the CFPB intervene to ensure XXXX and Equifax delete this account entirely and to work with XXXX to remove it as well. Its presence misrepresents my creditworthiness and has caused me undue stress. I urge the CFPB to take action to protect my rights as a consumer.
