Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: TENET HEALTHCARE CORPORATION (CA)

First the previous section did not have a box that applied ... pls see explanation below! 

In XX/XX/XXXX I sent a letter to Central Financial Control offering to settle to medical collection accounts. CFC never responded. I tried several more times by phone and mail without any response. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I faxed an offer to settle my 2 accounts with CFC on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The 2 accounts totaled {$5300.00}. 

Today I received in mail a response from CFC dated XX/XX/XXXX saying I had asked to verify the debt. This is incorrect ... .I had asked them and have been asking them since XX/XX/XXXX to try and settle these debts. As I explained in the letters to them I have XXXX and want to settle all outstanding accounts so my spouse will not have to deal with them in the future. 

I understand CFPB can not make them settle, but I need someone I can communicate directly at CFC to settle both accounts. 
Any help with this would help alot! 

PS ... I did reach out to XXXX who owns the debt and they refused to discuss it and kept referring me back to CFC who is not responding to settlement offers. 

Thanks XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: Exeter Finance, LLC. (FL)

Exeter finance has continuously changed the status of a mark they have placed against my credit report from In collections to 180+ days late and back again to the status of In collections in order to consistently damage my credit report. This sequence has been going on for several months and Exeter finance is quick to respond to my credit dispute as if the status is valid with each monthly change. If the debt is in collections please validate the date and mark it with the correlating status. If this pattern continues I will be forced to move towards legal action as this is an unethical tactic from your organization.

Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NJ)

I received a letter from Capital one regarding the closure of my credit card account due to inactivity. Card ending in XXXX. I have had this card for a very long time and I have excellent credit and by them closing it out and not giving me a chance to use it, it will hurt my credit rating because this is an old card. 

I called them and requested that they do n't close the card and suggested it can be transferred or converted over to a new card which offers better products. 

They told me we can do this and someone will call me back and its been a few days now and no one has called me back. 

I strongly believe this is a discriminatory practice by Capital One. I did n't violate any terms and conditions either. If they want me to use the card than they should offer me better incentives like all other card companies I use currently. 

This tactic of forcing excellent customers to close their accounts without any warning is Discriminatory and based on Race in my opinion. 

They never even sent me a card because old card expired 2 years ago. How am I suppose to use the card?

Freedom Mortgage carries the FHA loan for my townhouse. I sold the property and will be closing on XX/XX/XXXX. The law firm XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX, contacted Freedom Mortgage on XX/XX/XXXX, requesting pay-off for XX/XX/XXXX, and received a pay-off amount of {$69000.00} from Freedom Mortgage with a closing date of XX/XX/XXXX. This is {$1000.00} more than expected that I have to bring to the table at closing. I called Freedom Mortgage on XX/XX/XXXX for the pay-off but they wanted to charge me {$30.00}. I also called twice on XX/XX/XXXX for explanation as to why the amount was so high and Freedom Mortgage gave me the run-around with no concrete reason. I was told that there was an FHA charge of {$250.00} and taxes included in the pay-off. I phone twice on XX/XX/XXXX, and was told that the attorney 's office put in the request for XX/XX/XXXX. The attorney 's office denied that they submitted that request. Finally, Freedom Mortgage told me that they made a mistake and it should be for XX/XX/XXXX because it 's a FHA loan. They promised to correct it and placed an accelerated request for the correct payoff. I informed them that the attorney 's office would be contacting them as well.

Company: Servis One, Inc., Titusville, PA Branch (IL)

This complaint is related to the second mortgage on the property located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX IL. XXXX. I had attempted to get a modification and was denied by both of mortgage companies. I have since fallen behind on my mortgage payments. I hired a real estate agent who was able to short sale the property. We are currently under contact and do have an approval from the first mortgage company who is requesting we close on or by XX/XX/XXXX. 
This short sale package was submitted to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX with the final approval letter sent to them on XX/XX/XXXX. To date, neither my agent, my attorney nor myself have received any information from XXXX even after REPEATED phone calls and emails. I was told by " XXXX '' that my XXXX was XXXX XXXX, but that she is currently on vacation, so we left messages with her supervisor XXXX XXXX. I called back on XX/XX/XXXX and was told by XXXX XXXX that she is not on vacation but new to the company and does n't have access to the " system? '' He also stated XXXX has no record of receiving my short sale packet, however my real estate agent has the fax confirmation that all documents were sent and received. I truly believe XXXX has been purposefully trying to stop the short sale by first ignoring us, and now by lying. 

If you could please let me know what my options are or how I can proceed so that XXXX does not prevent the short sale from occurring, I would be unbelievably grateful. If you need more documents than what I can upload, please let me know and I can fax or email them to you.

My current car lender has repossessed my vehicle due to non payment. I have not been able to pay because of illness, XXXX, and hardships. I was devastated by the XXXX of two family members in XXXX during the hurricanes. Even though i did not have much i was asked to contribute to each funeral.

After the homegoing of my one of my uncles and one aunts, I fell ill to an unknown XXXX XXXX. I was hospitalized from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. That same day I called and alerted my lender about my  situation. I stated that I would try to make a payment on the XX/XX/XXXX,  because i expected to be paid a lump sum of money from cancellations. I was unable to make the payment on the XX/XX/XXXX. Then finally I was told of another death in my family in michigan the first week of XX/XX/XXXX. I had no intentions on allowing my car payment get away from me this way. But I did let Ally Financial know of the troubles My family and I were experiencing. And I was told that I would be given time to make a minimum payment to push the other payments to the end. Unfortunately, I had not been aware of the repossession until it was too late. I have been struggling since the hurricanes hit! I know that my family is n't the only one that has been affected, but at this very moment I will struggle even more by not being able to get to my clients to bring in the income at all. The Ally Financial rep even stated that I had never fallen behind like this before, and they were here to help me in my time of need. I woke this morning, to find that my car had been repossessed.

Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA (VA)

I leased a vehicle with Hyundai Motor Finance in XXXX XXXX for three years. In XXXX XXXX I had paid in full and never had a missed payment however, upon calling one day I talked to someone who was very unhelpful and rude at XXXX. One week later 8 missed payments showed up on my XXXX ( only ) credit report from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX ( XXXX ) dropping my score 82 points. I called Hyundai who told me I had always prepaid and never had any missed payments, so I filed a dispute with XXXX on XXXX XXXX. By XXXX XXXX I received a letter from XXXX that Hyundai provided them all documentation and Hyundai removed the erroneous information. I never received an explanation of how someone goes backwards XXXX XXXX years and adds inaccurate information though I do believe it was the gentlemen I upset at Hyundai who did it. My credit score went back up over an XXXX and the account was closed in perfect standing and all my checkboxes were green with no missed payments. Today I check my credit score and once again Hyundai reported all the same erroneous information that was just resolved. I contacted XXXX and they verified that Hyundai once again did the same thing on a closed account that Hyundai just removed from the account. The XXXX women told me I should contact you because she too thinks this is very shady and that she has never seen anything like this. To the point she was going to call Hyundai on my behalf. I truly believe Hyundai has a gentlemen on their payroll who is purposely and maliciously opening my closed account and re-reporting information that they just removed. When I called Hyundai, they will not let me speak to the department who reports it, informed me I once again had to wait 30-60 days for them to research it and that they could not tell me why this is repeating itself. As a matter of fact, they are completely not willing to provide me with any answers. I asked them to reopen my old dispute, they said they ca n't. Long story is I can not speak with anyone who can help me in a timely manner, they once again dropped my credit score 77 points and I feel this is going to continue happening over and over again. Please help me.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (TX)

I have had a credit card account with Capital One for almost 10 years. For the last several years ( 4-5 years ) there has been a {$0.00} balance on my card. I get my statements every month to my email and look at my account to make sure there is no activity on the card. I have the app download and use it regularly. Yesterday, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXXXXXX XXXX I received an email : " It 's been over four years since you 've used your credit card account ending in XXXX. As a result, your account has been restricted as of XX/XX/XXXX, which means you no longer have charging privileges, and it will be closed due to inactivity. Your account will remain restricted, and it can not be taken out of restriction prior to closure or reopened once it is closed ''. 
I called Capital One and spoke to 4 representatives on the phone trying to clear up this obvious misunderstanding since I did not receive any notification my account was in danger of being closed prior to the account being shut down. I spoke with 4 representatives including 2 managers ( XXXX and XXXX ) who told me the decision was final. I asked to speak to their managers or someone who would be able to assist with this issue and they told me I could hang up and call back to talk to someone else or I could write a letter. There was no one in the company that could reverse this decision. I asked both XXXX and XXXX if I could get a copy of the signed agreement that Capital One had that said that they had the rights to close my account without noticed. Both " managers '' denied my request. They did both tell me that could rerun my credit and I could open a new account. 
This issue hurts my credit due closing a line of credit and reducing my available credit and closing my longest revolving account.

I was a loyal Kohl 's customer for over 8 years. I had a credit card which I paid in full each time I received a bill. I never carried a balance to the next month. I received a call on XX/XX/17 that my account was 60 days past due {$170.00} plus fees of {$64.00}. I never received a bill from them. I was devastated and paid by phone immediately. They assured me that they would get it taken off of my credit report if it was reported. A week or so later I got a letter stating that they investigated and there was nothing they could do. I never got a bill! I 'm not sure if it was a glitch in their system but I never received the bill. If I had, as history shows, I would have paid it immediately. I have since closed my account with them because I will not deal with a company that treats their customers this way!

I placed a freeze on my credit with all 4 credit reporting agencies. 
I paid each credit reporting agency at the time of placing the freeze. 
I am in the process of moving and have to open a new bank account. 
Transunion is trying to make me pay to temporarily lift the freeze I placed. 
I should n't be punished for proactively trying to avoid being a victim of identity theft- I already paid for the privilege of attempting to protect my credit information and should not have to pay again, and again, and again.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC (FL)

My home is in a Federally Declared Disaster Area because we were hit by Hurricane XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. My loan servicer, XXXX, told me that, because my loan is backed by XXXX XXXX and is current, I automatically qualify for a forbearance ... .that my next 3 payments did not need to be paid, and would be added to the end of my loan and that there would be no impact to my credit. XXXX then transferred my loan to another servicer, SLS. During the interim, I received delinquency notices from XXXX, as well as a notification of my housing options ... ..that I could sell my home to avoid foreclosure, do a short sale, and should look for more affordable housing. I also received my very first communication from my new loan servicer, SLS, which was a delinquency notice. I called SLS and was told that they see that I am in a 6 month forbearance, and at the end of the 6 months, ALL 6 PAYMENTS WILL BE DUE ON XX/XX/XXXX, so I should make my payments during the forbearance. I explained that was not what I was told by XXXX and they told me that I should contact XXXX. I called XXXX, asked to be escalated to a supervisor, was put on hold for about 20 minutes and then transferred to a dead voicemail and disconnected. Since that time, XXXX has sent an inspector to my home, when I called to ask why, SLS told me that they do that in case they have to take my home away, they want to make sure the property is being cared for. XXXX has reported me as 30 days past due to the credit bureau. SLS sent me a loss mitigation packet, notifying me of my options for foreclosure, short sale etc because my account is seriously delinquent. I contacted XXXX XXXX, who verified that my property is in a Federal Disaster area and therefore qualifies for a 6 month forbearance. They told me that the loan service companies ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TELL ME TO MAKE PAYMENTS DURING THE FORBEARANCE PERIOD, ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SEND ME DELINQUENT NOTICES, ARE NOT ALLOWED TO THREATEN TO TAKE MY HOME, AND CAN NOT REPORT ME TO THE CREDIT BUREAU AS LATE. Furthermore, at the end of 6 months, I have the option of adding those 6 payments to the end of my loan. I have been harassed by XXXX and SLS repeatedly during hurricane recovery.

In XXXX, I decided to close my secured credit card which is authorized by XXXX XXXX XXXX  and had {$300.00} deposit in that card. I called the cardmember service hotline and was told if I need to close my card, I need to write a former letter including my name, reason, current address and signature, then they can close my card and mail the deposit check back. I wrote the letter as they told me and sent to cardmember service. But after one month, I found my card was closed but I still hadnt received the check, so I called card service hotline on XXXX XXXX, and the representative told me that per her system record they did n't receive my mail, but they still closed my card. During the phone call I found my address in their system still was the old address which not be updated to my current address. So the reprehensive helped me changed the address and told me will mail the check ASAP. But after one week, I received the letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX that they mailed the check to my old address and the check was cashed out by my ex-husband. I was so shock that per their request I mailed the card-close requirement letter and provide my current address how could they mailed the check to a wrong address. I called cardmember service hotline the third time, and the representative was very rude and told me that their company has no duty to check and make sure if the customer changed the address, and they mailed check to the address in system, so they do n't care what happened next. My question is, I followed the rule they told me, provided the letter and my current address they requested, why they still mailed to a wrong address and even let some strange cashed the check out? What the meaning of the card-close letter they requested?
