Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Communication tactics — You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying
Company: AFNI INC. (FL)

I mailed my cease and desist letter to the collection agency who is responsible for this debt. I was very clear that they should cease and desist all communications with me in regards to this debt. My USPS certified tracking number is XXXX in which was delivered and signed for on XX/XX/2023. But even though they received my letter and signed for it. They still have been trying to contact me through my consumer report as well as continuing to send me letters in the mail about this debt. Under section 805 ( c ) of the FDCPA states that if a consumer notifies a debt collector in writing that they wish the debt collector to cease further communication with them. The debt collector must not communicate further with that consumer. So why are they still trying to communicate to me through my consumer reports about this debt that I already written to them to cease all collection and communication with me. As well as section 807 ( 4 ) which prohibits a debt collector from continuing to communicate with the consumer, except to notify the consumer that the debt collector further attempts are being terminated.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened to sue you for very old debt
Company: CNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION (MI)

A number called me and left voicemails stating they were trying to contact me in regards to a parcel that could not be delivered. I called back today, XX/XX/23 and the lady states she was XXXX XXXX from XXXXXXXX XXXXs ( XXXX ) and that she was trying to contact me regarding an old payday loan with check n go. I stated that I paid off my debt in full with them and have the paid in full letter. I also stated that I contacted check n go after paying the debt collection company off and they stated I had no active accounts. XXXX XXXX told me that if I did not pay the amount today XX/XX/23 by XXXX I would get XXXX felony charges filed against me with my county. I again called check n go and spoke to their collections department who told me that it sounded like a scam and to request a debt validation letter. When calling XXXX XXXX back requesting a debt validation letter XXXX stated that it would be too late to send one and that charges would already be filed, she stated they sent one to my email and home address in the past, which I did not receive anything from them. I then knew it had to be a scam. Very scary that they had my home address, email and name and threatened to file felony charges against me and that I would have to go in front of a judge.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL)

Back in XX/XX/2022 I called Bank Of America asking for a HELOC type of loan that would have a fixed interest-rate. I was very adamant about it being a fixed interest-rate and clear the bank ended up sending me a {$10000.00} loan and a {$40000.00} loan two weeks after The first loan for XXXX was a fixed rate and I just found out XXXX of this year that the {$40000.00} loan that came after was an adjustable rate. The bank told me they cant do anything about it and I need to pay it off if I want to get rid of it, I feel very defrauded, and they misrepresented what I was getting due to the fact I was extremely out of it that I wanted a and not a variable rate loan

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (OH)

To Whom It May Concern, I recently received a copy of my credit report and found that you are illegally reporting inaccurate, noncompliant, and false information about me. The following alleged account is listed as a collection and charge off with a PAST DUE BALANCE of {$10000.00} This is a violation of the FCRA and is in violation of requisite METRO 2 Compliant reporting standards. As well as is in violation of 15 U.S Code 1681eb. The reporting party did not provide/send me a 1099c in regards to them claiming the debt to the IRS. The reporting company has reported to the IRS as well as on my consumer report they charged off the account. This is in violation as they have already claimed and received the remaining balance from the IRS.

By the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and per the standards of reporting compliance implemented with the CRSA enacted CDIA Metro 2 COMPLIANCE regulations, I have the right to a fair and accurate credit report, and you are required to remove any information that is not true, accurate, compliant, and verifiable. I did not provide my written permission or instruct for the identified items to be reported on my consumer credit report. I am requesting that the reporting of this information be deleted and blocked from my consumer report. My request to block all identified accounts listed below is not being made in error ; nor is my request to block being made on the basis of material misrepresentation of fact by me relevant to the request to block the identified transactions. The identified transactions are not information related to any transaction by me as the consumer ; Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Date : XX/XX/2015 You are required to do what I am asking and block the transactions from being reported to my consumer report within 4 days from the date of this notice. I look forward to your response.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (SC)

I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (AL)

After making a balloon payment on my mortgage, I have reached the 78 % mark of the principal-to-original-home-value figure on my mortgage ( the LTV ratio ). I called Nation Star to get them to drop the PMI pursuant to their duties under the Homeowners ' Protection Act ( " HPA '' ). Despite this, Nation Star refuses to cancel my PMI, pointing to an ambiguous Notice which actually does NOT state that Nation Star will refuse to comply with the HPA by NOT auto-cancelling the PMI at the 78 % LTV mark. Having not contracted out of the HPA Protections, I hereby invoke them against Nation Star and demand that they cancel PMI on my loan.
