Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC (CA)

In XXXX of XXXX I was given two mortgage loans on my home an 80 % 1st and 10 % 2nd mortgage with XXXX. The 2nd loan balance was {$99000.00}. In XXXX I was unemployed and I fell behind on payments on the 2nd mortgage, and my home had negative equity at the time. In XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX the new servicer, sent me a settlement letter for {$7900.00} to close the account. I called to get further instructions on how to send the payment but then was advised they could not take payment, the account would be charged off and the lien on my home would be released. No further payments would be due. The loan was charged off in XXXX but I never received the lien release. 

In XXXX I did file for Bankruptcy XXXX XXXX and included the debt. Within several months I received a notice from Specialized Loan Servicing that they now owned our loan. I contacted them several times during XXXXXXXX  about the release on the 2nd lien. They claimed to have no record of the settlement or release on my loan from XXXX or XXXX XXXX. I was advised to sell the home in a short sale and settle the balance, something I couldn't do. I never received any monthly bills from SLS, only an annual privacy statement. 

Then in XXXX I received a notice from XXXX XXXX XXXX as now the new owner of my account. I contacted them and was told my balance was {$99000.00} and the monthly payment would be {$420.00} per month. They began to send monthly statements. They asked I start making monthly payments immediately or my home could be foreclosed upon. I sent them the {$420.00} in XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX  per the monthly statement, but the following month the payment didn't show it was applied, it said placed in a suspense account. I called them to ask why the payment went into a suspense account and they told me the balances would be updated and to keep sending the amount of {$420.00} per month. I did not make any more payments. Soon after the new statements showed I was past due over {$60000.00} and the new monthly payment was {$1200.00} per month. I again called them and was told the best option was to send that monthly payment or to sell the home and they would consider a short pay. 

This account should have been closed and the lien released back in XXXX However the servicing rights continue to transferred and I have not been able to resolve the account. This is the only home I own, and selling isn't a viable option for me and my children.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

On XX/XX/2023 applied for credit card with XXXX, but when I got an alert from credit monitoring service I saw there were ( 2 ) hard inquiries with the same date from where I visited the branch and applied. I am not disputing that there shouldn't be an inquiry, but I am disputing the fact that there is ( 2 ) inquiries on the same date for the one credit card. I called XXXX on XX/XX/2023 and spoke with representative and she stated there should have only been one hard inquiry for the branch visit on XX/XX/2023. She told me to dispute with Equifax as they are the credit reporting agency in question. I filled out the online dispute form but there was not a 100 % fit for the instance in question so I decided to dispute it here as well with a better explanation. As soon as the credit card comes in and I activate the XXXX XXXX said she would add an note to my XXXX report but I want the duplicate inquiry removed as it will affect my ability to obtain credit in the future. I am going attach a PDF showing the XXXX inquiries in question.

Company: DISCOVER BANK (FL)

I called Discover Card customer service today ( XX/XX/2023 ) and was advised I could not re-allocate my excess over the minimum payment to the Balance Transfer that is expiring on XX/XX/2023. The regular purchase balance at APR 28.24 % would have to be paid in full before I could pay the Balance Transfer at APR 4.99 % that is expiring on XX/XX/2023 The effect is that customers who fail to pay off regular purchases will have zero APR or low APR balances convert to regular purchases at a higher APR ( example, 28.24 % ). Discover Card 's policy to not allow cardmembers to reallocate excess payments is doing more harm by causing some cardmembers to not pay off balance transfers before the expiration date.

On XX/XX/ after checking my mail from Experian about an investigation done for disputed inaccuracies on my credit report it has been brought to my attention that Experian did not perform a full investigation on the items that came back verified, which is unfair to me as a consumer, since their company plays a vital role in my reputation and credit worthiness and they assumed this role without any of my written permissible purposes.
