Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC (OR)

Today is XX/XX/XXXX this past weekend we received a letter that we were behind on our mortgage. When we looked at our bank statement it showed that we paid the mortgage on XX/XX/XXXX. I looked to see if there had been an issue and the funds returned. I call Carrington Mortgage today. They informed me that they refused, REFUSED my XXXX payment, and let me know that my XXXX mortgage payment was being refused as well. They sent no notice of refusal. I have no notice of how to pay from them. We had had a problem in XXXX and XXXX with our payment being NSF. We were proactive and contacted the company. Is it legal for a company to refuse money without informing the person paying? Is it legal to change payment without contacting the person paying? We had no idea that they would or had done this and did not find out until it was too late. They now have charged us late fees for money that was refused by them. I repeat they refused the auto payment the funds were in our account for XXXX and XXXX without informing us. I have had my mortgage since XXXX and have zero issues. I called my bank because I could not see that the payment was returned. I could not see it because it was returned to us 20 days later, almost a month on XX/XX/XXXX. They have now refused our XXXX payment, which means more late fees. It is a known practice to hold money to put people in precarious positions and force foreclosure. If I had been notified of a new payment method. Not as part of a NSF or my monthly statement, but clear notice of a change we would not be late. This is underhanded and unethical behavior by this company. People should be asked if they want to change their mortgage company. When I look online, I see that this company is well known for being shady. I am a veteran, a mother of XXXX, and a XXXX woman. I will not be quiet about this nefarious behavior. Are there laws about how long they can hold my money, or if they must inform the consumer of significant changes to their account. I recorded all my conversations with them. They stated that they do not send out a notice, they wait for the consumer to find out. That means it is a company practice to be underhanded and force people into late payments and fees. We only learned about all of this weekend. I called them twice today. They could not tell me when my XXXX payment would be returned. My bank, XXXX, told me that it is not normal for payment to be returned by check, and that if they can take electronic payments they can return them that way but choose to return good payments in the slowest way possible.

Hi i'm reaching out today because I currently have a bankruptcy reporting on my consumer file that I did not consent to by law. This is a direct violation of 15 USC 1681b because I never gave the the courts written consent to post my private personal information to my consumer report. This is also a direct violation of my privacy under the privacy act of 1974 as I was never given an option to opt out of the reporting of this particular public record. This is my formal notice to opt out the reporting of this account on all of my consumer reports.

Company: Io, Inc. (VA)

I received a notice of collections snd contacted both the provider and the creditor. The provider couldnt give me any details other than I needed to contact the collections company to resolve. The collections company couldnt give me any details other than I owed the balance and it was now on my credit. In 4 months the balance has doubled and I all the bill shows is principal, interest and other charge with a total amount. I continue to receive monthly credit alerts and letters with a balance increasing but I have absolutely no idea what I owe or why I owe this balance especially since I had not one but two insurances. The provider listed on this bill always provided an estimate and I paid prior to having services performed. This debt isnt owed and needs to be removed off of my credit it is fraud.

Capitol One documented that Capitol One received electronic payments from an account ending in XXXX with The XXXX Bank which does not belong to me. I have contacted XXXX and verified that I have never had an account ending in XXXX. Capitol One has gone to lengths to hide the truth that i never approved, agreed to, or authorized this credit card account. I have Capitol One to provide physical data or proof as I have maintained my innocence from the very beginning by stating I did not open the card nor make any of the purchases, and sent an identity fraud report which Capitol One never filed or disputed the fraudulent charges. 
Only thing Capitol One is holding against me is standard public information ( address, date of birth, social security # ) which is almost always used in identity theft and fraud anyhow. 
Capitol One does not have a wet signature or affidavit/agreement filed by me to open the account.

Subject : Unauthorized Inquiry to Consumer Report by Amsher Collections I am writing to file a complaint against Amsher Collections for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

On XX/XX/2023, Amsher Collections unlawfully obtained a copy of my XXXX consumer credit report without a permissible purpose or my authorization, which is prohibited under the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ). 

I do not have any account or relationship with Amsher Collections that would allow them to review my consumer report for a permissible purpose under the FCRA. By knowingly obtaining my consumer report under false pretenses, Amsher Collections has violated 15 U.S.C. 1681q, which carries potential criminal penalties. 



I have included a copy of my XX/XX/XXXX demand letter detailing the violation. I am seeking assistance from the CFPB in compelling Amsher Collections to comply with the FCRA and compensate me for their unlawful actions in obtaining my consumer report without authorization or permissible purpose. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, s/ XXXX XXXX
