Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Universal Fidelity LP (MI)

Dear Reviewer, All the sudden I started receiving letters from XXXX XXXX ( a/k/a XXXX  XXXX XXXX ) claiming I owe them {$33.00} for some coin that they supposedly sent to me, and more importantly something I did not receive, and i never ordered. I called them and informed them that I have no idea what coin they are talking about, and I never ordered such item. I asked them to provide me " PROOF '' that I ordered such item, but I never received such prove. Next, I 'm receiving the attached collection letters from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( corp. attorney ) for Universal Fidelity LP. I called this Universal Fidelity LP disputing the alleged debt, and the representative on the phone said we will notify their client and get back to me, but i never heard back from them and all the sudden they seem to sell this improper debt to another collection agency. Also he said the collection efforts will continue and maybe reported it to my credit report ( basically threatening me to pay ). At this point, I was self assured that this is a pure SCAM to force citizens like myself to pay this amount, and the sad part some people will probably pay it, simply to not deal with it. But not me, I will inform the proper authority to investigate this SCAM and fraudulent practices. Again, I never ordered any coins, and never received such coins alleged here. This company and agency are purely motivated to collect fraudulent alleged debt without any legal ground and proof of such debt. Furthermore, when I did a simple search on XXXX XXXX XXXX, there are hundreds and hundreds of complains and scam scheme reviews with hundred of victims defrauded by these companies. I respectfully ask the consumer financial protection bureau, and any other applicable authority by law to investigate these wrong doings and fraudulent practices by The XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX ( corp. attorney ) for Universal Fidelity LP to force people pay for products that they never ordered, and threaten them to be reported on their credit report. I have attached the Letters I received from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( corp. attorney ) for Universal Fidelity LP. Thank you for your attention to this matter Respectfully Yours, XXXX XXXX

I have received repeated calls and voicemails from a company claiming to be Cambridge Asset Management. The voicemails threaten some type of legal action and threaten to attempt to find me at my home and place of employment. The name of the individual they reference in the messages is not mine.
I received calls and voicemails from this group on XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, 2017. Each time I have returned these calls and advised that I am not the individual they are looking for and requested that I receive no further calls. Each time I was advised that my number was removed and that calls would stop within 48 hours.
On my most recent call I spoke with a XXXX XXXX who claimed that I had never contacted this group as they had just opened the file. She later stated that I had received several voicemails from XXXX XXXX, but that no return calls had been logged. She advised that she would remove my number. When I asked to speak with her supervisor as this was the same information I had been given in my previous calls, she ended the call.

On XXXX I took out a loan with this company in the amount of {$XXXX}. They led me to believe that I would be making a monthly payment not every payday. They also did not provide the APR rate to me which turned out to be XXXX. This in itself is outrageous. But what really set me off was when I called customer service and spoke with XXXX on XXXX, simply asking what my account number was ( which was not anywhere on my online account either ) was told after being on hold for a very long time that they were unable to provide me with this information. What legitimate company can not provide you with your account number?

I have been trying to get access to my savings account to close it, since I need my money now for some medical bills. Since I could n't get access online I called the customer service number with absolutely no results. It looks to me like the bank is trying to keep me from getting acces to my money ; and I may need some help from the FDIC to close my account and get me my money. If that fails, I may have to try some  other method of recuping my funds ; and that would only benefit the attornies involved.

Hello, I attempted to purchase concert tickets to a XXXX XXXX concert in XXXX, Texas on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX @ XXXX PM. I responded to an ad on XXXX as someone was selling their tickets at face value. I was communicating with the person via text and they stated that they would send the concert tickets, once I sent a qp ( qualified payment ) via XXXX. I was immediately suspicious and called XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). I asked if I would be protected if I never received my concert tickets. The XXXX rep stated that I had two hours to cancel the transaction, so I thought I was protected. I sent {$240.00} electronically to the seller who had a Wells Fargo Account. I transferred the money using XXXX, which was recommended by the seller. Once the money was sent over, the seller stopped all communication with me, and the tickets were NEVER sent. I immediately called XXXX back and was told the seller picked up the funds and there was no way for me to cancel the transaction. 

I opened up case # : XXXX with XXXX ; however, I was horrified to learn the that Wells Fargo would need permission from the seller to take back the money, that was stolen from me.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

I filed complaints XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. While the results from XXXX re investigation end in removal of the accounts in question from my credit report something is terribly wrong between the CBs investigations or the company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is deliberately reporting different information to the different credit bureaus ... .someone is providing false information because Transunion claims to have updated the information. Furthermore, the accounts in question have yet to be removed from my reports in complaint XXXX. I try and have patience regarding these matters but the CBs seem not to have a problem putting the information on my report the same day it should be removed as well in a timely manner. I refuse to allow this to keep happening and will continue to complain until this matter has been satisfied. If the accounts are verified as mine then I will not deny them but playing around with my credit is doing serious damage to my credit and the next step will be a law suit. I have tried contacting Transunion by phone and the website and it says that the system can not access my account due to on going disputes but claims I can view the status ..but will not let me as of X/XX/2017

I opened a XXXX credit card with Comenity bank in XXXX XXXX. Since opening I made two purchases on the card. The first payment for {$120.00} was made on time. They did not give me an option to sign up for automatic payments so I had to manually make the payment. 

I made a second purchase for {$29.00} on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I assumed the account was on autopay and did n't check to make sure the bill was paid. They had sent me emails but I did n't check them. I got a call from them on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX asking me to pay all outstanding balance. I told them I missed the payment assuming it was on autopay and asked if they can reverse the late fee of {$29.00} XXXX at this point my payment was {$29.00} purchase + {$29.00} late fee ). They responded rudely and said they 'll report the account as " not intending to make a payment ''. I was frustrated with the experience but I paid off all outstanding balance XXXX {$58.00} online payment ) and closed the account. 

I received an email on XXXX saying there is a balance of {$34.00} on the account. When I checked, I see a new late fee charged on XXXX for {$32.00} and another {$2.00} fee on XXXX. All this had been charged after I paid all outstanding balance on XXXX. I called them today and they said I need to pay all outstanding fees otherwise they will continue to charge me more fee.

This is with regard to the XXXX of TRID and a Closing Disclosure done in gross error by Quicken loans. Our son ended up signing a closing disclosure ( CD ) under duress to close his purchase on time. I have been 24 years in XXXX. My son bought a home in XXXX in XXXX XXXX Ca. He went to Quicken Loans. I told him to get used to the terms LE ( Loan Estimate ) and CD ( Closing Disclosure ). I was my sons main contact and authorized representative on his loan. I was forth right and asked almost daily about my son 's CD and about it being correct. I have all of the emails to Quicken. We gifted my son the down payment. With this the loan coordinator at Quicken called me on XXXX/XXXX/15 that I needed to get the remainder of gift funds into title or our son would not get his loan docs. I kept saying I had NO idea how much to take in since I had not seen anything. I was finally sent an email that we needed to deposit the amount of {$29000.00} so I ran the day before XXXX to the bank and wired the funds. Quicken confirmed he had the funds on XXXX/XXXX/15 at XXXX PST ( please see email below ). I like how he wrote I will not make any promises the numbers will not change. 
I have received the wire receipt. Most likely these numbers will not change, but I do n't want to make a promise that could change. I do not expect any changes, but I do n't want to set you up for failure. 
Thanks, I was all over Quicken for the CD. They kept telling me it would be coming. On XXXX XXXX my son called me in a panic. He said " MOM, I do not have {$32000.00} to bring into closing. I called the closer who was very rude and abrupt. You will be able to pull the call. He told my son and I he had NO proof or documentation that the gift funds of {$29000.00} were received. I told him no way and that this was the only way it could go to docs per emailed for the Quicken loan coordinator. My son signed the CD under duress since he would not meet his close of escrow date if not. 
Thank goodness we had an amazing title officer who sent me the buyers closing statement to our son showing him what was really needed to be brought in to close and what was true and correct. 
This is why you the CFPB put TRID into effect. Please look into Quickens unfair lending practices and the fact they are not following TRID nor do they care for the small consumer!

Company: AES/PHEAA (TX)

I have been trying to pay off federal loans since XX/XX/XXXX, when I graduated. It was impossible for me to become employed during that time, and I had to delay payments. Since then, my total amount has skyrocketed. I have been paying somewhat successfully since XX/XX/XXXX, however, I always have problem recertifying my income based repayment program, and have to delay payments because the minimum payment goes up. Every year, they fail to adequately assist me in recertifying, and this adds thousands to my balance. Last year I was first given false information, then given incorrect information, which caused me to pay more than what I should under the program. This year was no different. They sent me a notice inXX/XX/XXXX with a due date of XX/XX/XXXX. No email. No call. Zero notice since XX/XX/XXXX. I recertify every year, and every year they deceive me into missing the due date. There is no option to auto-recertify. This causes my minimum payment to skyrocket to five times the usual amount. It is unfathomable that they are allowed to do this. I know what will happen, because it happens every year. They will either defer or forebear, then add to the total balance, causing my total balance to continue increasing every year. I have to spend hours on the phone every year fixing the problem. My total balance is over XXXX because of this systematic deceptive practice. I graduated owing half of that. I will never pay it off, and they will continue adding to it every year.
