Company: Lamont, Hanley & Associates, Inc. (AR)

They reported on XX/XX/XXXX again XX/XX/XXXX. I never heard of this company Lamont Hanley and Associates. I never received a call from them about a debt. I did n't even know they ( Lamont Hanley and Associates ) was on my report this long. So on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I called the company. I spoke with a guy name XXXX. I told him I was calling cause they was on my credit report. He got my information and looked up the account. I told him I never had insurance with XXXX XXXX XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX I was with XXXX XXXX through XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX. He informed me that They were the same company. I asked If, I completed paying my month billing why was they filing on my credit report? He said I owed a cancellation Fee for a policy on a XXXX Chevrolet Trailblazer. I told him my Ins. was month to month and with XXXX. I was not aware of a cancelation fee from them. He appear to become angry by raising his voice. He stated loudly, you signed a lease. The cancellation fee is in the declaration page. I then asked, can he could validate that I owe this debt? Send me a copy of the declaration page and bill. He again stated loudly " man this debt is five ( 5 ) years old. We will be calling, no, we wo n't be doing any dam thing. I then asked him if they could remove their name off my credit report. He again stated loudly, you have to do a dam dispute with the credit bureau. He then stated in a loud tone it 's not coming off then either. He then hung up the phone on me. This guy was so very rude. They are on my credit report and refusing to verify why, this company l do n't know. How they got my info I do n't know, if they bought it or they collect for XXXX XXXX. Nobody should have to pay for switching companies. XXXX XXXX never called me that I owe a debt.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Nelnet, Inc. (PA)

My student loans serviced through Nelnet were granted a forbearance. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I received letters from Nelnet stating that my forbearance would be ending on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and my next payment due date would be XXXX XXXX, XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, my personal bank account was debited for the monthly payments. According to the representative I spoke to on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I should have cancelled my auto debit that had been set up when I first began paying my loans in XXXX. She agreed that my first payment was not due until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, but said that if I had auto debit it would still attempt to deduct from my bank account prior to XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. During the entire year of my forbearance, it did not auto debit from my bank account and now suddenly it begins debiting before I am expecting a payment to be made. This is an unfair practice and causes confusion and hardship to the borrower. They can not simply debit your bank account when a payment is not due and then leave the borrower to deal with XXXX overdraft charges because they were not expecting a payment to draft ( as was my case ) or worse, the payment does go through but another bill, perhaps a mortgage payment, can not be made.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Community Loan Servicing, LLC (formerly known as Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC) (MD)

When my mom passed in XXXX 2016, I discovered that she had taken out a XXXX mortgage loan with CitiMortgage that was referred to Bayview Loan Servicing. As her heir and administrator of her property, I contacted them about the loan and required documentation about the loan process from the initial loan. As of today, I have n't received any documentation or cooperation from the lender. Three months ago, I have spoke with a representative about negotiating a payoff and she stated that she would initiate the process and assign a case manager to the case. I was told not to submit any payments until I hear back from them through a certified letter. After a month pasted and no certified letter received, I called the lender and expressed concern about the request. I was informed that no such request had been submitted. The rep assured me that he would submit the necessary documentation to initiate my request. After weeks had pasted and numerous attempts to reach Bayview by telephone for a response, I finally got a representative to answer my request. I was told that Bayview would not negotiate a payoff because the value of the home, if foreclosed, would cover the loan amount. Though disappointed, I asked about the passed 3 months payments and learned that late fees had been asset to the account. On XXXX/XXXX/16, I made a telephone payment in the amount of {$410.00} dollars ( confirmation # XXXX ). A week later, the amount still has n't been deducted from my account. Therefore, I called the lender no less than 10 times totaling hours of my time seeking an answer. I finally got a live representative that explained my payment was rejected for insufficient funds. I stated that there must be a misstate because my account has more than sufficient funds to cover the charges. The rep stated that I can resubmit the payment through XXXX XXXX, which I stated was unacceptable because my checking account has over {$8000.00} dollars in it and that the representative had to have keyed in the wrong information. The representative hung-up the telephone. He was the second representative to do that such action when I requested to speak with a manager. I called back and was told that I 'm not authorized to receive information on the account. I am absolutely dumfounded by Bayview 's representatives actions. This is unprofessional and down right deplorable. All I want to do is make a payment and this is being rejected. XXXX 's statement depicts the attempted payment of {$410.00} dollars suspended. Can I please get some assistance in this matter. Thank you,

Company: PEOPLE'S UNITED BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CT)

I made a payment towards my Peoples United Bank Card Services credit card balance a few days before due date on XXXX XXXX, 2015 at the local Peoples Bank office here in XXXX, CT. But when I checked my credit card balance a week ago, that payment had not been applied and my balance was now approaching my limit without said payment. 
I have been in regular touch with Peoples United Card Services for the past week. I have talked to multiple people, managers, over managers and nothing has been resolved to date. They have ALL the info they need i.e. faxed form from Peoples Branch in XXXX, CT showing that I made the payment, email from me showing the check I wrote and the money having left my checking account. They acknowlege that the payment was made but they have STILL NOT applied it to my credit card. They have charged me a late fee, they are charging me interest every day AND this is affecting my credit rating which was excellent. I need IMMEDIATE help with this. Peoples United Bank Card Services has demonstrated abysmal customer service to someone who has been a customer for almost 25 years. I have paid my bills on time and for many years in full and this is the way they treat their customers. I need your help to urgently resolve this matter. I will be taking my business elsewhere after this and will never use Peoples Bank, Peoples United Card Services again.

I received a call today from premium asset services. The gentlemen I spoketo stated they wanted to do a settlement over the phone I said no I need it in writing. He took this as a refusal and stated that they will be filing a suit and the IRS will XXXX me. I also told him the attempt to collect a debt is past the statute of limitations he did not seem to care and continued to harass me about the settlement of the debt. I was then told that something on paper could be mailed to me once the settlement had been approved and agreed to. I was also told nothing else could be mailed out because letters were already sent to my address. Which were not.. After getting off the phone I received XXXX more calls and a voicemail from the same company mind you I had returned the first phone call. As I called a XXXX time to let them know this was already discussed a women told me I blantently lied stating she shows I talked to someone on XXXX XXXX and its not possible I talked to someone today as that person was out because of the birth of a child.

I submitted a form for a XXXX, a mortgage assistance program, to my mortgage servicer, Bayview XXXX XXXX XXXX. At this time, my mortgage is at XXXX XXXX % and the monthly payment represents more than 65 % of my gross monthly income. I started the process XX/XX/2016 and now after XXXX representatives and sending all the documents needed. It is clear to me that they have not presented my documents to the government program, XXXX. It is clear to me that Bayview XXXX XXXX is catering to the investor who is holding my mortgage, XXXX. With interest rates so low, why would they release my mortgage to be amended under the XXXX program. They did n't submit my application and denied my request to submit it. I tried to refinance but my income is too low so I was denied. I have been paying for 11 years and am current but it is very difficult for me at this time to continue paying such a large portion of my income to stay in my house. The government should be going after the loan servicing companies because they are abusing people like me.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA (AL)

The Apple Card managed by Goldman Sachs continues to have issues with the payments process. They charged my account twice without my permission and drafted my checking account for two payments in one day. They refused to reverse the payment after escalating to a manager. They said that sometimes it double charges and it is not their fault.

This is after they did not keep their commitments of zero interest on the headphones I bought. After hours on the phone, no luck. I finally gave up and just paid for it.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: Monarch Recovery Holdings, Inc. (TX)

For the past two to three months, I have been receiving calls from Monarch Recovery Management attempting to collect a debt. The callers leave a message on my cell phone voicemail because I do not answer calls from callers not in my cell phone address book or callers with an Unknown caller ID. The phone numbers being used to call me show up in my caller ID with no name. The area codes used are XXXX and XXXX. The phone numbers change within the XXXX area codes on subsequent calls. 

The callers identify themselves as Monarch Recovery Management, stating that this is a call from a debt collector. Sometimes they say they are calling to collect a debt. In ALL cases, the callers NEVER give the name of the supposed debtor. On occasion no message has been left at all. 

I do not have ANY delinquent debts, so I should not be receiving debt collection calls.

On XX/XX/2015 I initiated a wire transfer from my personal bank account at XXXX in XXXX, XXXX to a business bank account at Wells Fargo Bank in XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Not long after I initiated the wire transfer process, I received a telephone call from the Wells Fargo Fraud Unit informing me that I am probably the victim of fraud and that I should contact my bank ( XXXX ) immediately to have the wire transfer stopped and/or recalled ; due to the 6-hour time difference I was not able to contact my bank until the following morning when they opened. The Wells Fargo Fraud Unit did not take any steps to stop or intercept the fraudulent wire transfer that they called me about! 

I sent the money to : XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Attn : XXXX XXXX Phone ( XXXX ) XXXX Wells Fargo Deposited to : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX I immediately filed a felony criminal complaint with the XXXX Police Department via telephone and they have since arrested and charged XXXX XXXX with felony fraud. I have been working steadfastly with XXXX trying to resolve this issue and to get Wells Fargo to refund my money via reverse wire transfer since Wells Fargo identified the wire transfer as fraud, recognized that they were depositing into a personal account instead of a business account and that the account holder 's names were not the same and did not intercept or place the wire transfer on hold until it could be verified. Unfortunately, Wells Fargo bank has given me nothing but lip service and the run-around and wasting my time while I tried to resolve this amicably. My bank ( XXXX ) wire transfer department has sent the Wells Fargo bank no less than a dozen secure XXXX messages trying to recover this money that they put into the wrong account. However, Wells Fargo has completely ignored my bank and refused to even respond to them too. 

I am attaching a true copy of the original wire transfer instrument to this complaint. Please investigate and make Wells Fargo bank follow the rules and refund my money.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MA)

I am disputing XXXX XXXX explanation of the benefits of a Reverse Mortgage. She states that the loan served to pay off previous mortgages. The XXXX document XXXX is designed to be completed by the applicant with the LENDER 'S assistance. According to the document, the Mortgage Applied for was an FHA Traditional HECM. The FHA case XXXX. XXXX XXXX states the loan payment plan as a " LINE OF CREDIT. '' The lender case XXXX. XXXX indicates that the purpose of the loan was for " ADDITIONAL INCOME. '' XXXX XXXX should be made aware that bringing {$35000.00} asserts the opposite of any associated benefits of my reverse mortgage. If my intent was ADDITIONAL INCOME, then why would I be expected to bring XXXX to the closing? Unless, the predatory lender told me that the money was to go into escrow to be used as a line of credit to be disbursed as needed for property taxes. I 'm being foreclosed on due to non-payment of property taxes. Where 's the {$35000.00} line of credit that was supposed to ensure that I would n't lose my home. Obviously, it 's the reverse of the truth. Obviously it follows the same ongoing pattern of deception, coercion, and bullying an elderly woman into a mortgage that she did n't need and could n't afford. Wells Fargo made sure of my lack of ability to pay my taxes and insurance by illegally running a credit check and of course picking the bones dry by charging {$14.00} to conduct that credit check..

On XX/XX/XXXX. I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX OPM data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.
