Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Keep getting calls about my loan
Company: Capital Management Services, LP (GA)

Capital Management is servicing a loan that I originally received from XXXX that purchased the loan ftom XXXX. The loan is currently in default. I was contacted by Capital Management exactly once on the phone. Since that contact they have proceeded to harass the cosigner of my loan with repeated phone calls to her job. In addition to being spiteful and unnecessary the cosigner of my loan XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Their attempts to humiliate my cosigner in front of her employer are shameful, but tying up the main phone lines of a public elementary school is just reckless. I 'm reporting this incident because the last time I was harassed by a student loan company I reported the incident to the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau and the harassing phone calls stopped within days and have not resumed in the intimidating fashion and frequency they did prior. The cosigner of my loan, my mother, needs your help as do the rmployees and students if XXXX XXXX XXXX. Please take whatever legal action is possible and necessary to hold Capital Management accountable for their intimidation.

Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation — Problem with statement of dispute
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AZ)

I know that my rights are being violated. I 've been disputing accounts that I know are either inaccurate or do not belong on my credit report and not only am I receiving statements that these have been " verified '', but my proof of said inaccuracies are being ignored. 

I 'm sending proof to Equifax that they 're reporting accounts that are listed as " unknown medical collections '' and they have failed to verify, identify or remove them. How are they legally verifying these accounts without having the identification of the creditor? It 's my right to dispute with the creditor directly and if they are refusing to provide that information, then that is a clear violation. Not only that, but one of the accounts were removed and then reinserted without any notification as required per section 611 of the FCRA. ( see attached letters which explain everything ). 

I 'm perplexed as to why I 've received statements that there will no longer be any investigation into accounts that I know do NOT belong to me. Per Congress, the CRA 's can not just state that the creditor said that the name, date of birth, address and social security number match mine. That is not legal verification and the only form of which would be firsthand knowledge - having the docs in their possession. If they had that information, they would have sent it over to me inconsideration of the fact that I 've been disputing these since XX/XX/2016. I either need to see the documentation or they need to be removed, as the XXXX do not belong to me. The only items that allowed to be on my report are those in which there was an agreement to pay or owe the debt. I did not owe to pay or owe these debts and they need to come off immediately.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (MO)

My issue is with capital one gm flexible Earnings card. Everytime I call and make a payment on the automated system and its time for them to provide me with a confirmation number, the automated system " conviently cuts out, '' and I 'm not able to hear XXXX of the numbers /letters. At first when this occurred I honestly believed it was a system error but this has happened EVERY single time for months. I 'm starting to feel like this intentional on the credit card companies part nc there 's no way it could happen 10 consecutive months in a row. Its almost like they do n't want you to have the correct confirmation number so if something goes wrong you wont have proof you made a payment. I 'm usually an optimistic person but this has happens way to many months in a row for it be a system error everytime. Makes you wonder ...

Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker — 
Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC (FL)

My daughter recently tried to help us move and get a mortgage through Quicken Loans.. She was at my home and on the phone with them.. My wife was also in the room. I was busy playing with my grand kids and on the computer when this conversation was taking place.. I got alerted when I heard some personal info being shared. I immediately took notice and informed my daughter that whatever she was working on or with whom, to not let them run a credit inquiry on my behalf. I am in the midst of rebuilding my credit and did not need this at this time.. Too late. The Quicken loans representative informed me that he had spousal permission to authorize the inquiry.. I do n't understand that this is legal.. My daughter had been in conversation with my wife at the time and told my daughter it was ok to run a report.. However I did not authorize this action.. Is spousal consent legal?? I have contacted Quicken Loans and disputed this but to no avail. They tell me this is legal.. I feel very angry as I do n't think this is a good business practice.. Whom does it benefit? They did n't write the loan, my credit suffers and they walk away.. I thought Quicken Loans would do the right thing and remove this inquiry as they clearly stated they can hear me in the conversation strongly urging them to not pull my report. Quicken Loans absolutely wants to do nothing to help me the consumer. they told me to come back when my score was better.. They hurt my score by an unfair tactic.. Why would I ever want to do business with such a company! Again I never authorized this inquiry and our family is busy as others and I think Quicken loans was being very deceitful in the process of talking to my daughter.. I thought they would do the right thing when they pulled the tapes, but they refuse to do the right thing and let me the consumer suffer.. Please people do not allow your family to do business with Quicken Loans!!

Issue: Settlement process and costs — 
Company: BB&T CORPORATION (SC)

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I accepted an offer on my home. BB & T is the current financial institution holding the mortgage on the property and it is also the lender the buyer has chosen. All required paperwork was provided in a timely manner by both myself and the buyer. Everything moved along smoothly with the appraisal and inspection. Everything that was required from myself, the buyer, the realtor, and the closing attorney had been provided to BB & T over a month ago. A later closing date was scheduled for XXXX/XXXX/XXXX by BB & T to account for the new regulations. No communication was provided at any point by BB & T about any additional delay. When I inquired my realtor if the closing on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX was confirmed he stated that BB & T did n't indicate a delay but he would check, he later stated that BB & T drop the ball and the closing is delayed without an expected date. 
I contacted the MLO XXXX XXXX in regarfs to payment as it was due on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX the scheduled closing date, she stated to just wait as surely we would close in just a few days. Fortunately I decided to make a payment to avoid a late fee since a closing date was not provided. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX a new closing date of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX was set. At XXXX XXXX on the night before the closing, I received an email from the realtor copying the MLO email stating that paperwork was n't ready and she was sorry for " the mess ''. 
Thus far I have lost over {$1500.00} in interests, taxes, insurance and utilities due to this unreasonable and unprofessional delay and at this point I do n't even have a closing date.. 
BB & T actions ( lack thereof ) are grossly negligent as they are not loosing funds by delaying the closing, the buyer and myself are. BB & T should reimburse XXXX of my and the buyer added expenses as well as punitive damages to the CFPB to set a presidence that such irresponsible behavior is utterly unacceptable!

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Information is not mine
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I noticed that a credit card company reported my account on my credit report, even though I am only an authorized user. This is a violation of the FCRA and I respectfully request that you remove this listing immediately. 

According to section 603 of the FCRA, only information on credit issued to a consumer is allowed. If you are an authorized user, you do not fall under these categories, you are not responsible for the debt and did not receive credit. An authorized user does n't have credit on this account and it 's only the signor that is responsible. So, in essence, if an account on which you are an authorized user shows up on your report, it would be someone else 's credit ( the signor on the account ).

Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay — 
Company: Conn's, Inc. (TX)

I purchased a computer bundle and a XXXX inch TV back in 2014. The salesman sold me insurance in case if the items I purchased broke. My TV 's screen broke. I called Conn 's, they sent someone to check the TV. It could not be fixed. Through XXXX, I was able to work things through. I was told to go the store here in XXXX to get my TV. When I went to the store, I was told the TV was discontinued and could not get it anywhere else. They told me I had a little over XXXX to get a TV. As I looked for something that would be acceptable, the salesmen where trying to convince me to buy something bigger. I picked a TV that was less than was given. The difference in price which I expected to be applied back to the account, the manager denied. 

I waited to get the TV, The TV they brought was not in a box and rapped in plastic paper. " for protection '' I asked him what was that, he said it was the TV I picked. I was informed that TV was also discontinued and that was the TV on the floor. I told him I was not going to take that TV home and left. 

Through many calls to XXXX, I decided to get the replacement TV. A different salesman helped me. I picked one and went to get the paperwork done. I was informed by the salesman that in order for the TV to work I needed a special cable which cost quite of bit but they had this package which included the cable and the mounting kit to put the TV on the wall. I said ok. 

AS THE SALESMAN WAS DOING THE PAPERWORK, I TRIED TO PAY IN CASH FOR THE MOUNTING KIT AND HE SAID HE COULD NOT TAKE THE MONEY. NOT ONCE HE SAID IT WAS A NEW ACCOUNT. AT THAT TIME HE INFORMED ME EXTRA CHARGES AS ADDED TO THE ACCOUNT WHICH INCLUDED INSURANCE FOR THE DURATION OF THE LIFE OF THE ACCOUNT IN CASE THE ITEMS WERE STOLEN AND OTHER CHARGES. HE SAID IF I HAD HOME OWNER 'S INSURANCE, I WOULD BRING IT TO THE STORE AND THE EXTRA CHARGES WOULD BE TAKEN OUT. I TOLD HIM WAS NOT AWARE THEY DID THAT. HE INFORMED ME IT IS ALWAYS DONE. 

I HAVE HAD MANY ACCOUNTS IN THE PAST 12 YEARS AND NOT ONCE I WAS INFORMED OF THESE CHARGES. I HAVE HAD HOME OWNER 'S INSURANCE FOR 15 YEARS. 

TODAY, I CALLED CONN 'S BECAUSE I WANTED TO REDUCE THE MONTHLY PAYMENT. I WAS INFORMED I COULD NOT REFINANCE BECAUSE MY ACCOUNT IS NEW. IT WAS MY DECISION TO INCREASE THE PAYMENT TO {$200.00}. IT WAS NOT THE AGREED AMOUNT WHEN I WENT TO CONN 'S. I DID NOT AUTHORIZED THE SALESMAN FOR A NEW ACCOUNT. I WENT TO PICK MY REPLACEMENT TV. 

CONN 'S STORE IN XXXX XXXX STOLE FROM ME BY WITHHOLDING INFORMATION THAT WOULD DECREASED MY DEBT. I HAVE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS TRYING TO GET ANYONE TO SOLVE ALL THE ISSUES WITHOUT SUCCESS.

Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (TX)

Earlier this year I was issued a check from Regions Bank for around {$20000.00}. I went there to cash it and they asked if it would be okay to get XXXX XXXX in cash and the rest in the form of a cashier 's check. Although I wanted the full amount in cash, I was understanding, due to the fact that this was a large amount. So, I have my cashier 's check, issued by the very same branch of Region 's bank here in XXXX XXXX, and they are refusing to cash it because my ID card does n't fit into the parameters set forth by their computer program. The thing is, it 's a very official ID that was issued by the XXXX with a very clear picture and I even brought a second form of ID with my picture on it. I just got released from State Jail and I do n't have a car or money to go around getting different forms of ID that fit into their box. I 'm the person whose name is on the cashier 's check, I have an official ID from the State of Texas ( it just is n't a drivers license like they want ). I know not everyone wants to walk around with large amounts of cash, but I 'm a lot more comfortable with keeping track of my money that way, and the whole point of a cashier 's check is that it can be redeemed for cash without any hassle.
