Product: Debt collection — Auto debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Spring Oaks Capital, LLC (PA)

I don't believe that I owe Spring Oaks Capital LLC what they say I owe. I've never done business or heard of that company until they reached out to me via email on XX/XX/2024. I reached out to them via certified mail asking for debt validation documents such as a purchasing agreement, licenses to collect debt in the state of Pennsylvania, chain of custody for this alleged debt, for them to identify the original creditor, for them to provide papers showing that I agreed to pay what they say I owed etc. I was never provided with these documents. I know that its my right and the law to have those documents if I request them. This collection account is also reporting as an " open '' status on my report. I also know by law that collections are NOT to show a past due balance or an open status. These inaccuracies are very concerning to me because I only wish to have accurate information being reported about me and want these inaccurate items to be removed from my credit report at once.

Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Other problem getting your report or credit score
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (WA)

I attempted to get a lower interest rate on my HELOC that BOA was advertising. After spending weeks answering questions and filling out paperwork the bank told me my house was not worth {$120000.00}. Therefore, they could not give me a line of credit for {$100000.00}, which was way more than I wanted to borrow. However, they would not give me the lower interest rate unless I could borrow up to that amount. I told them never mind but then they told me my old HELOC was no longer valid and made me sign for a new one I did not even want at a much higher rate. 

There is no balance on this account and I tried to close it because it was increasing my debt to income ratio. I called " XXXX '' on XX/XX/XXXX and she informed me they would close it and when I asked about any fees, she told me there were none associated. Reference # XXXX. I went to the bank a few weeks ago and talked to XXXX XXXX. He explained that my LOC was never closed and when we called their department, they claimed I had to pay a {$74.00} fee. I did not have my reference number. 
Subsequently, ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I called and spoke to XXXX at BOA. I provided the reference number and explained the situation. He told me it was a county fee and I had to pay it. I asked for a supervisor and was left on hold for over ten minutes. When he returned he said the supervisors were too busy to speak to me and too bad pretty much. Therefore, I thanked him and advised him that I would file a complaint. 

Significantly, I had went to XXXX a few months after applying at BOA for a HELOC and they estimated my home 's worth at 150 - 165,000. As a result, I think that BOA is conducting a bait and switch scheme by offering low HELOC rates and then duping the applicants into believing they do not qualify or their home is not worth enough. I have excellent credit so they could not disqualify me there, instead they claim my house isn't worth anything. Consequently, they then talk you into a much higher rate. And just to add insult to injury they want a fee of {$74.00} when I try to close it. Why had XXXX said there were no fees and now all of a sudden there is one? Also, don't they record your conversations for quality assurance? That's what the recording says ...

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TN)

A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I have submitted two requests for information on my credit report to be corrected and I keep getting emails back from Experian refusing to correct the misinformation. Upon review of my credit report, I noticed some account information that was inaccurate. I detailed that information in a letter to Experian and they responded, stating they did not believe the dispute was from me or that I may be working with a credit repair company. I'm not sure how they came to this conclusion because the letter included all of my personal information and return address. I then resent the information back to Experian and Notified them it was indeed me and that I was needing the inaccurate information corrected on my credit report. Experian then replied a second time with the exact same email that they were not going to investigate because they did not believe it was me or that I was working with a credit repair company. I believe they just don't want to investigate or correct the misinformation which is hurting my credit score.
