Company: Torriere Holdings INC (IL)

I am receiving phone calls on my cell phone and at my place of employment from a company called Spire Recovery Services, claiming to be a collection agency for a payday loan that was filed in a chapter XXXX bankruptcy. They are threatening that " bad things '' will happen to me if I do n't pay them by XXXX on the day of the phone call. My attorney conducted research on the company that shows them to be a scam with an address located in an abandoned warehouse and when I attempt to reach them at the number provided it goes straight to a voicemail box. They called from a local area code but the call back number is from a New York area code and the address is also in New York.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MA)

Hi & How are you doing? Im little confused how the late payments is reporting on my credit report. Basically, I am requesting this investigation under the authorization of the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623. ( a ) ( 8 ) ability of consumer to dispute information directly with the furnisher. I am not sure how this happened, I believe that I had made my payments to you when I received my statements. My only thought is that my monthly statement did not get to me, or the payment was not applied as fast as expected. I check my bank account and noticed that you deducted the money out of my checking account that on the month that you marked me late on my credit report.

What I am disputing : The late payments you have reported to the three credit bureaus.

My basis for this dispute is that this account was always paid in a timely manner, during the months in question, which you have reported as being late.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Onity Group Inc. (UT)

I became aware that my mortgage had been sold to another company when I got a letter form Ocwen mortgage services dated XXXX XXXX, 2015. We closed on home XXXX XXXX with a first payment due on XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX I received a letter form Ocwen saying my hazard insurance had expired and they were planning on buying insurance for me. In my state you ca n't close on a mortgage loan with out home insurance. I called the people we got our loan from and they said that information was included when the loan was transferred but they would go ahead and again verify that we had insurance on the house. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I received and account statement that said my first payment was due on XXXX XXXX but the amount due was {$910.00} which was {$400.00} more than the amount on our closing papers. two days later I got a phone call from Ocwen asking me to verify my account by giving her the last 4 digits of my social security number which I refused to do. She then said I could verify my account by giving her information from the account statement. I gave her the property address and the amount due and she told me that was incorrect. I ask how that could be incorrect since I was reading it from the account statement I had just received from Ocwen. 
She again repeated that it was incorrect and that I could verify my account by giving her the last 4 digits of my SS # and that is where the conversation ended. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I received another account state form Ocwen with the correct information but I have never been asked to verify any thing since that first statement. On XXXX Ocwen sent me a privacy statement saying they sometimes share information with other financial companies. My unofficial count of companies having my information is about 8 right now. 
On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I received a letter from XXXX XXXX saying they had purchased our mortgage on XXXX XXXX, 2015 but they were now selling it to Homeward Residential and that I should make my payments to them. If I sent payments to XXXX they would be refused. I have never received any payment information form Homeward so where do I send payments for my loan. If I ca n't make a payment on the loan I will be in default and that will lead to foreclosure. I just applied for a home equity loan so I can pay off who ever has the loan but it now seems nobody wants to claim it at least not until I have missed some payments and then I expect Ocwen to inform me that I am late on my payments and they are going to start the foreclosure process

XX/XX/XXXXTo Whom It May ConcernRe : Loan # XXXX Suppression/Removal from XXXX Credit ReportI am hereby submitting this complaint concerning Ocwen 's suppression and removal of my loan status from the XXXX Credit Report. This loan was transferred from Litton to Ocwen who now has the Fiduciary duty in reporting the loan status to all Credit Report Reporting Agencies. 
This two-plus ( 2+ ) year old issue remains un-resolved to -date after numerous communicative attempts through 'Customer Relationship Managers ', Accounts Representatives and Managers etc to have this resolved, ( see attached email transcript " Fwd : Fwd : XXXX Confirmation on Ocwen Loan XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' ). 
The earlier XXXX Report snippet of XX/XX/XXXX clearly confirmed the presence of the loan account status on the report with Ocwen as the servicer prior to its suppression ( see attached " XXXX_Confirmation_of_Suppression_by_Ocwen.pdf '' ). 
In the attached " XXXX_Confirmation of Account Removal_ Suppression.pdf '', the XXXX Investigative Report of XX/XX/XXXX clearly shows that Loan # XXXX was deleted. 
The Full TransUnion Report of XX/XX/XXXX clearly shows that the status of Loan # XXXX remains suppressed/deleted from the Report. ( see attached " XXXXCredit_Report_XX/XX/XXXX.pdf '' ). 
Communications between both Ocwen and XXXX to have this resolved resulted in scapegoating explanations. XXXX recommended getting in touch with the Lender " Ocwen '' and Ocwen subsequently responds with the release of further misinformation and confusion in their " credit report letter '' deceptively suggesting contacting the XXXX Credit Bureau ( see attached '' Loan_Status_XXXX_From_Ocwen.pdf ''. 
With this hard evidence that is provided, I am submitting my complaint, which clearly confirms Ocwen 's illegal and deceptive manipulation of my loan account which is in good standing from XXXX that it now has Fiduciary duty to maintain. 
Thanks in advance for a final resolution to this issue that has negatively affected my credit inquiry results for the past 2+ years. 
Regards, XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX

Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NV)

In late XX/XX/XXXX or early XX/XX/XXXX I received several voice messages and emails from Bank of America regarding my XXXX credit card. I immediately contacted the bank and was informed that fraudulent charges were detected on my XXXX credit card and the bank closed the account to protect me from further fraudulent activity. I was alarmed because I have had this account for 5 years and I have not utilized the card in more than 4 years and it had a XXXX balance with a {$10000.00} limit. The bank assured me that all charges would be reversed and any fees associated with this issue would be reversed as well. I was also told that the charges arose from a cafe in XXXX where someone was purchasing coffee and snacks. I advised the bank that I have never been to XXXX to assure them that I had no part in this fraudulent activity. The bank representative at Bank of America said that I would receive a new card in the mail in 7-10 days. When that card did not arrive I re-contacted Bank of America and was told the card should have been received so they would issue a XXXX replacement card via priority mail ( signature required ). I did receive the XXXX replacement card. My problem with this entire process is now that I have the new card the associated fees for the replacement and the fraudulent charges have not been reversed completely as Bank of America promised. Now there is a 30 day late payment on my credit report for the fraudulent charges and fees totaling {$31.00}. This late payment has affected my qualification and approval for a mortgage that I was in the process of obtaining. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Bank of America again to discuss this matter and they apologized for the inconvenience and assured me that the fees are being reversed and the 30 day late on my credit report would be reversed in 30-60 days. This is not acceptable. I do not want to have this negative notation impede my mortgage loan processing or impact my mortgage interest rate negatively.

Issue: Taking/threatening an illegal action — Sued w/o proper notification of suit
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (GA)

I was sued by XXXX XXXX XXXX for an invalid debt XX/XX/XXXX. Court log states that I was allegedly served on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. I was never served for this case. In fact at that time on that day in XXXX I was at XXXX University conducting my XXXX from XXXX to XXXX. I then would have gone to babysit my friends kids so she could go to work and not return home till the next day. It is impossible for them to have served one of my neighbors in a case of mistaken identity because I am a XXXX female and at the time was XXXX, my neighbors were a XXXX male XXXX, an XXXX couple XXXX, and an XXXX couple. I feel any descriptive information that could have been provided regarding service was from their serving me for another case XX/XX/XXXX. In addition to having not been served, the debt purchased by Portfolio Recovery was Invalid at the time it was sent to collections as it violated a contractual agreement between myself and Bank of America regarding a 6 month account " freeze '' to protect my account while I was in Massachusetts attending college and unemployed because my son was diagnosed with XXXX. A huge portion of this debt was encurred as a result of late fees garnered during this period while I was under the impression that my account was frozen. The late fees were then combined with over the limit fees. Additional fees were then added on when the debts were sold from agency to angency all of which sent the XXXX ( XXXX? ) dollar original credit limit to XXXX! I was never able to rectify this discrepancy because when I came back from Massachusetts to find my accounts had gone into default and were sent to collections agencies the account had been sold and resold so much i was unable to identify the agency that had it till I was contacted by XXXX XXXX XXXX prior to their threats to sue. This is reflective of XXXX XXXX XXXX pattern of purchasing debts which they knew were invalid and unenforceable and intimidating consumers with the intent to garner default judgement. XXXX XXXX associates never provided me any information verifying the debt when I previously requested it during a phone call. I was told by an agent that I had to prove it was invalid and when I asked for the account information I was told they did not have the account information from bank of america that would show the arrangements for the freeze.
