For most of my life i 've used cash and never really knew what credit was growing up. Over the last year, I noticed some fraudulent items on my credit that i did n't open. They are all over the XXXX XXXX XXXX area and the local police department does n't want to seem to help because its hard to find them. My credit suffered, not like I used it anyways but still I do n't have a good start. I went on line a couple times to dispute stuff and nothing happened. Since having my report ran and talked with the federal trade commission they advised to submit documents to credit bureaus and negative source who is reporting. and to keep responses and when it was sent.

I went to obtain credit at a local bank and my credit union. I was immediately denied. When I asked why, they informed me that it was because of information contained in my credit report. 
I went online and purchased a subscription to view my report. I immediately saw an account that has reported 90 days late for the last 3 months. This account does not belong to me. I closed my personal account with XXXX XXXX years ago after paying off my balance. Their posting of the entry onto my report is unfair and unjust. I am requesting that it be immediately corrected and any creditor I applied for credit with in the last 4 months be notified of the removal.

Hello, I would like to submit a compliant against Ally Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX. I purchased a XXXX Jeeo from XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX TN in XXXX of 2016. The dealership chose Ally Bank XXXX for my lender. Two weeks later my jeep was struck by a combine and ruled total loss by XXXX. Weeks after going back and forth with Ally and XXXX on who was responsible for sending what documents. I requested all documents be sent to me and I disperse. XXXX has sent everything I asked for. Ally has not. They refuse to send my letter of guarantee so XXXX can payoff my account. My insurance agent emails and calls every week and so have I. We both have numerous emails requesting the letter. Meanwhile Ally is charging my account interest. I 'm also out another down pymt and rental car fees. They refuse to let me talk to a supervisor or give me an email to a supervisor and their website does n't have enough information. A customer service rep confirmed today they are not answering calls within the United States. They are in the XXXX answering calls for the company. Today, I contacted a lawyer but he said until they give me a letter of charges there is n't anything he can do but write letters. So, I wrote letters today. I contacted the dealership and warned them of using this company as it 's a big negative for them for future customers. All I need is my letter of guarantee to resolve this matter. If you can please help me so I can pay off my account it would be greatly appreciated.

In XXXX, I requested my free annual credit report. After viewing my credit report, I noticed over XXXX credit/loan inquiries on my account that was not authorized by me. I contacted each company and was told that there was not any account open under my information. I explained that I have a hard inquiry on my credit report and need it removed as soon as possible so that I could apply for a home. I was told that the inquiries would be removed from my credit report. As of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, none of the inquiries have been removed dating back to XXXX. I had a initial fraud alert placed on my report on XXXX XXXX, so if any credit reports are being pulled with my information, I was to be contacted by the company before any action was taken place. I just want the inquiries to be removed so that my scores and credit is not being impacted any longer. I would like to purchase a house, but until all of the inquires are removed I will not be approved with XXXX inquires on my credit report.

To whom it may concern : I had a XXXX XXXX auto loan that was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX for a balance of approximately $ XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX XXXX to negotiate a settlement. A verbal agreement was reached, but no payment or document was signed. Personal circumstances would n't allow me to fulfill the agreement, I called and informed them. The rep. told me to call back if my situation improved. XX/XX/XXXX I received notification from my XXXX credit tracker accounts that stated a charged off account from XXXX XXXX was reported to my credit reports, the balance was for over $ XXXX. 

I called XXXX XXXX and received an automated response that no one could speak to me. 

I filed a complaint with CFPB, and informed them of my situation. 

I was contacted by XXXX XXXX, see reviewed my complaint and the supporting documents I submitted. She stated that XXXX XXXX 's records do n't show they 're reporting a charged off balance of $ XXXX, but for only $ XXXX. XXXX closed my complaint as it being resolved. Soon after I pulled my credit reports and they showed a balance of $ XXXX. I contacted XXXX, informed her of my finds, and provided a copy of my credit report. She told me she would review it. I updated my CFPB compliant that my case was not resolved and sent a copy of my credit report. 

A week after I provided XXXX with my new credit report, she contacted me and stated that the balance of $ XXXX is correct, because in XXXX XXXX, the credit reporting agencies made a change that requires creditors to include interest and fees of past charged off accounts. I asked XXXX to send me a letter that highlights what she stated to me. She agreed. I followed up with an email asking her to send me the letter. I 'm currently waiting on the letter. Also, I called CFPB and updated them on my case. I was asked to call the credit reporting agencies to see if what XXXX XXXX said was true. I was only able to speak to a rep. from TransUnion, the rep said it was not true to his knowledge, they only report want the creditors ask to be reported. 

I 'm not sure how many others may be effected by this practice, if it is indeed improper reporting. 

Note : The case number for my previous CFPB compliant is : XXXX. The pass code to open the PDF file is XXXX.

Ocwen is inaccurately reporting my escrow and payment information. I had a Chapter XXXX payment plan for mortgage arrears that was discharged XX/XX/XXXX. ( My loan was originally with American Home Mortgage and was transferred to Ocwen XX/XX/XXXX ). After making all on time payments to Ocwen during the payment plan, and making final cure payment to Ocwen, Ocwen still reflects the escrow shortage balance that should have been paid off XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted the trustee office which confirmed that all arrear payments had been made in full. Ocwen has not responded to my several requests for a detail accounting of my payment history since initially requesting this XX/XX/XXXX. The office of the Ombudsmen has sent me a letter each month telling me they are researching the matter, but has failed to do anything more. I just received a foreclosure prevention packet in the mail this week as well. Ocwen has since increased my mortgage payment by more than {$200.00} additional each month. I am unable to pay the bogus amounts that Ocwen is reflecting as they have added even more unexplained fees and charges to my account after the discharge with no explanation! I have sent a complaint to XXXX and the IL states attorney XXXX XXXX 's office, but have been unsuccessful thus far on getting anywhere with this case. I find it unreal that they were just sued for fraud and their unfair practices, and yet here they are again doing the very same thing. I would really appreciate your help in this matter.

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I have file a complain to the CFPB I sent a letter explaining that I do not believe I owe what you say I owe and, in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g, Section 809 ( b ) : Validating Debts : ( b ) If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or any copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. 
I must remind you that in my previous letter I requested the following information : ( 1 ) The amount of the debt ; ( 2 ) The name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed ; ( 3 ) Provide a verification or copy of any judgment ( if applicable ) ; ( 4 ) Proof that you are licensed to collect debts in ( insert name of your state ) ( 5 ) Provide the actual Bills Statements ( 6 ) Payment Receive I also requested that if you have reported me to any credit reporting agency, that you inform them that I have placed this debt in dispute and to provide me with proof that you have done so. Furthermore, I asked that you immediately send a copy of that dispute letter to the company ( creditor ) that you say I owe money so they are also aware of my dispute with this debt. 
As of today, you have failed to respond to my requests! For your convenience, I have included a copy of my previous letter and a copy of the mail receipt showing that you received my letter on { insert date from mail receipt }. 
Since you have failed to respond I assume that you have been unable to validate the debt and therefore, I consider this matter closed. You may consider this letter your official notification that I do not intend to correspond with you on this matter again unless you comply with my requests, the FDCPA and the FCRA. 

I must remind you that any attempt to collect this debt without validating it, violates the FDCPA and that I am recording all phone calls and keeping all correspondence concerning this matter. Be advised that I will not hesitate to report violations of the law to my State Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission and the national XXXX.

I made a car rental reservation on XXXX/XXXX/15 with XXXX XXXX for an upcoming trip on XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. I paid {$210.00} for the rental. Today I received an Ad from XXXX advertising the same product for the same time period for {$150.00}. I called XXXX XXXX and asked them to please refund the difference. Needless to say I received a run around. I contacted my Credit Card Company to explain the situation and that I would like to use their " City Price Rewind '' benefit. Citi told me that the benefit does n't apply to Car Rentals. My question is why is this purchase any different than any other purchase? It seems to me if a company offers a lower price on an unused product, they should honor their new advertised price.

In XXXX XXXX I received a notice from a collection agency that Citi Bank sent us to the collection agency. I called Citi Bank because I made a payment every month. Well In XXXX of this year we switched internet providers. Citi Bank was sending e statements ( which I never signed up for ) so because of the switch I was n't receiving statements anymore. The minimum payment was around {$120.00} and I always sent {$130.00} to $ XXXX monthly. We have not used this card except for XXXX which was about {$10.00} a month. So my payment should have went down with the payment I was making. Well when I talked to them after receiving the collection agency notice they told me it is not there responsibility to send out a statement. I said the email they were sending it to was no longer a valid email and he said it does n't matter. I also asked why no one called. You would think if you have a good customer who makes payments on time every month that you would at least make a phone call. Again they said it is not there responsibility. Again I take some responsibility but I never used the card since like XXXX and I know with the payments I was making that I still had a year or so till it would have been paid off. They were not helpful at all. I have flawless credit and now my credit report is showing that I have not made any payment since XXXX of XXXX. As you can see I made the payment every month. I also asked for all the statements for XXXX. When I received them they have been charging me for Payment Safeguard which again I never signed up for. How can they charge people for services that they never signed up for. So now that my minimum due is more than I was sending every month they charged me a late fee from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX. When I called the collection agency they told me that my payment due is now almost {$900.00}. They also told me that Citi Bank reduced our credit line so now they are charging me for an over the credit line fee. I again never received a notice that they are lowering this. The only mailing I received in XXXX was the notice from the collection agency. I have attached the statements from Citi Bank.
