On XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I had received a call from XXXX stating he was from CRS and Associates stating that I issued an online check to their client that bounced. They stated the date of the transaction happened on XX/XX/XXXX. I called the bank to check on this claim due to having closed this account years before said date and they could not locate my information or any claims. I asked the guy working with CRS and Associates to send me a letter explaining the claim and info on the collections so I can look it over and He said they would not be sending me a letter. Would not let me talk, kept cutting me off saying that they were going to file this and see me in court next week. I tried to explain that I called the bank on XX/XX/XXXX and he got loud with me saying I did not call them because he just got off the phone with them this morning on XX/XX/XXXX and hung up on me.

I was reviewing my credit report on XXXX XXXX, and I noticed that my interest rate on my active auto loan was not reflecting my new rate of 6.8 % that I had as of last year. The loan still listed the interest rate at 12 %. Via XXXX XXXX, I submitting a dispute with Transunion on XX/XX/XXXX and Transunion completed the request on XX/XX/XXXX. My credit report went down because Transunion removed the auto loan completely. 

I reached out to TransUnion and was told that there was nothing that they could do to add the account back unless the creditor, XXXX, contacted them with the correct information. Apparently the removal was in response to what my credit union reported back to them. I was told by XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ) that they do not reach out to TransUnion unless they are responding to a dispute. " We only report to one bureau ''. It was stated that as long as XXXX has the correct information that I shouldn't care. I'm basically being told by both parties that they can not assist me in adding my active account back to my credit report.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: BSI Financial Holdings, Inc. (CA)

I initiated a refinance of my mortgage in XXXX XXXX. In the process of settling the initial loan, we discovered that the property taxes were charged to the loan. The loan documents never indicated that the taxes would be paid by the loan servicer. After the initial inquiries and proof that I had paid the property taxes in the beginning of XXXX on my own, I paid BSI Financial the money they purportedly paid on my behalf for the taxes, anticipating a refund when they received or confirmed a stop payment of the taxes they shouldn't have paid in the first place. After the loan was paid off on XX/XX/XXXX, I was told to wait 6 weeks for the refund to come. After 6 weeks time passed, and after multiple requests for updates on the refund of money due, I have not received one message of confirmation or affirmation that this issue is being resolved. I recognize the additional challenges on staffing and anything that may thwart this process administratively, but enough time has passed without any firm confirmation that the money will be refunded. Moreover, I contacted the XXXX XXXX Property Tax office on XX/XX/XXXX, and was told there was never a payment made by BSI on my behalf. This leaves me quite suspicious about the money I was told that I owed and I am now not receiving in refund. I have asked the mortgage brokerage to get involved and they too have yet to receive any confirmation this problem is not being resolved. Filing this complaint is my next step in response to the issue.

I contacted each of the credit bureaus to discuss an account that had been paid related to a collections that was showing on my credit reports for XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Not only did I provide proof that the collection account had been paid in XX/XX/2020, and was considered closed, but the collection company was somehow allowed to publish inaccurate information on my credit reports for the month of XXXX, stating that the account was seriously past due? Rather than update my account to reflect a paid status, the collections agency instead updated my credit reports with a consumer disputes account status instead, even after countless emails and phone calls to get the company to properly update my reports. If it is this easy for collections agencies to place inaccurate debt on your credit reports, then how does any of the requirements set forth in the FCRA actually protect consumers? How is this collection agency allowed to report a PAID account as being past due, AFTER it has been paid, and there is undeniable proof that the debt was paid? This is beyond unacceptable and I demand that my credit reports be updated to an accurate status and removal of this account.

On XX/XX/XXXX, a finance charge of {$320.00} was added to my account with no notice that my payment was not received. I did not discover this until XX/XX/XXXX when I logged into my account. I paid the {$550.00} balance immediately using ACH and reached out to Customer Service multiple times to inquire on why I was charged 58.4 % of interest ( {$320.00} on {$550.00} ) without any notification. The APR on the account is only 28.24 %.

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

I have been in various disputes with Spring Oaks Capital , LLC since they showed up on my credit report in XXXX of XXXX. This occurred after they spoke with spouse who informed them that we had not had any sort of loan through the company from which they purchased the supposed debt. 

The original creditor was XXXX XXXX. I've not even heard of XXXX XXXX until this ordeal, and I honestly couldn't say what sort of credit the company provides to customers. I know that I am not a customer, though, and they have apparently provided my information to the aforementioned debt collector. 

Since XXXX, as previously stated, I have filed several disputes regarding this $ XXXX debt. Somehow it has managed to still show on my credit report. 

The mind boggling part of this situation is how you're expected to prove a debt isn't yours, while the little, if any, proof the creditor provides is sufficient based on a similar name or something to that effect. A similar name does not constitute paying a debt that isn't due. 

I have unsuccessfully disputed numerous times because I haven't proved the debt isn't mine; but stating it's not should be enough. The burden should not fall on a supposed debtor who, like myself, may have no documentation of any sort because there was never credit provided to begin with. Creditors should actually have to prove who the correct debtor is rather than targeting an individual who possesses commonalities with the debtor. 

I am hoping for a better result going through the CFPB and hope to have this debt removed entirely.

I have a small XXXX  where I make XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX XXXX. This person reached out to me for a local event and even provided a date, time, location for this specific event. They sent me half the money up front via an e-check. When I deposited it via my mobile account, the check cleared almost immediately. Then, a day or so later this person reached out saying that the event was cancelled due to XXXX. They asked me to send the money back via Zelle. A few days went by and I received a copy of this check in the mail from my bank with a fraud stamp on it. I thought that was weird since it cleared on my mobile bank account. So, when I went to look back at my bank statements, I noticed THREE returns made to this person. The return I made specifically to them, another {$1500.00} they decided to take, and in addition to that another return that I didnt make for {$15.00} to that same person. This was incredibly awful and a lot of money taken from me. I have all the information saved in my email for further use if needed. I also have their email address and the Zelle account they used.

However, when I contacted XXXX they stated they do not service my loans and have no information on the loans. I contacted XXXX and XXXX informed me XXXX does service the loans but on the back end. I informed XXXX of this information and was told to submit a dispute through the credit bureau.

I recently looked at my credit report and discovered a collection account that started with a company called Speedy Cash. I contacted them and the information I provided, validated that this debt was not mine. I then got this message from the Speedy Cash people : Speedy Cash is in receipt of the complaint filed with the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( BCFP ) by Mr. XXXX XXXX. Speedy Cash understands that Mr. XXXX BCFP complaint relates to debt collection practices. Speedy Cash was unable to locate a customer loan account matching the personal information provided by Mr. XXXX in his complaint. Without obtaining further identifying information, it is impossible for Speedy Cash to investigate Mr. XXXX complaint. We urge Mr. XXXX to call Speedy Cash directly at XXXX to provide additional information so that we can identify a loan account, if any. 

First, the phone number provided does not work! Second the person opened this account and has made payments at location in XXXX, Texas. They even tagged me with a XXXX, Texas address. THIS IS NOT MY ACCOUNT!!
