Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Waypoint Resource Group, LLC (MA)

Im confused and stressed and shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the America Bar Association and Professional Liability Fund for code of ethics violations.

After speaking with a AWA representative I learned that the recipient listed a California home address in XXXX. I am not a resident of California and have lived in Texas since XXXX. She also mentioned that my date of birth is listed. However, she informed me they didn't have a social security number on file, which she stated was 'odd '. 

Next, I filed a dispute with all 3 credit reporting bureaus pertaining to the fraudulent derogatory accounts. They were removed from both XXXX  and XXXX but remain on my XXXX credit record. I contacted XXXX  and inquired about a status update. The XXXX representative informed me to file a fraudulent claims report with the Federal Trade Commission and provide the report along with proof of identity ( Drivers License ), and re-dispute the claims today. I have re-disputed the claims with XXXX as instructed and uploaded my Drivers License to XXXXupload.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (PA)

I declined a forbearance extension and resumed payments starting XX/XX/2021 as instructed by my mortgage company Wells Fargo. I contacted them and informed them in XXXX that I no longer needed forbearance and resumed payments. I made payments monthly until the present. 

I made plans to refinance my loan because I did not want a hidden lean on my home to resolve the unpaid balance and pay off the principal. 

I was approved for the refinance and not able to move forward because I am being coerced to complete paperwork in order to remove the forbearance even though I was told that it expired in XXXX, instructed to make payments and have been current on those payments since making them in XXXX. 

I have informed the bank repeatedly that I did not want that options. I was asked for other options and was not provided with any alternatives. I found a finance company offering an option that works best for me and I am not being allowed the opportunity to move forward. 

I feel like I am being taken advantage of as a consumer who is trying her best to resolve a balance in a manner that meets my needs. I have a an excellent payment history with this mortgage company and I am unhappy and disappointed about the predatory behavior and unwillingness to work with me to establish this refinance and resolve the balance issue.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC (CA)

Over the last year and a half, I have made over {$21000.00} in extra principal payments but NewRez refuses to reduce my interest payments to reflect these additional payments and is still going to charge me the same amount of interest over the life of the loan as if I have never made the additional interest payments! They have put the intention to carry out the above illegal actions in a written letter to me. I believe this violates the law and also is not in compliance with my original loan agreement which was with XXXX XXXX. NewRez apparently bought my loan form XXXX XXXX.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Nelnet, Inc. (IL)

I am working with XXXX and XXXX to resolve an issue with Firstmark Services, the loan servicer who bought my student loan from XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. 

I have been paying Firstmark Services XXXX XXXX monthly since XX/XX/XXXX. This is the only account I need to make payments on, and my XXXX XXXX has not improved despite my timely payments. After going back-and-forth with Firstmark Services personally and filing disputes against them through XXXX and XXXX throughout XXXX, one of Firstmarks customer service agents finally disclosed the problem to me. 

Firstmark Services has been applying my monthly payments to the interest on my loan exclusively. This was never clearly expressed to me through an agent or the loan servicers communications until I spoke to them on XX/XX/XXXX. Their reasoning for this is unclear. Firstmark Services claims I agreed to exclusively making interest payments instead of splitting my payments between interest and the principal loan, which is not true. I immediately began looking into my refinancing options, and then I realized their insidious plan to prevent me from escaping their clutches. 

Firstmark Services applied my payments to my interest exclusively to prevent me from raising my credit score and having my loan refinanced by another bank. They altered my interest rate upon purchasing my loan from XXXX XXXX to ensure my minimum monthly payments only cover the interest, and my loan continues to grow exponentially so I owe them more money. There is no way I can get out of this because Firstmark Services added remarks to my account for the credit bureaus stating that the bureaus are not to raise my credit because I am only paying off interest, according to a representative from XXXX. 

I believe Firstmark Services wrongfully led me to presume my payments were being applied to the principal and the interest on my student loan. Until this month, I was in good standing with Firstmark Services. Now, I refuse to pay them until all my previous payments are applied to my credit score so I can have my loan refinanced.

I keep receiving calls for an individual that has NEVER LIVED or resided or even visited me in my home - I have REPEATEDLY asked for this collection company to remove my number from their call list ( XXXX ) - I get at least XXXX to XXXX calls per week for a niece that I HAVE NO CONTACT WITH and that resides somewhere in XXXX Tennessee - I live in XXXX CAlifornia. This has been going on for several months. 

This morning was the final straw. I received a call at XXXX yes XXXX in the morning on XX/XX/2017 from telephone XXXX WAKING UP MY ENTIRE HOUSEHOLD .... I have young children, and it just so happens that my entire household is ill with the XXXX and I had just got everyone to sleep at XXXX am after bouts of XXXX cool baths and medication administration and breathing treatments ... THey had only been asleep for approx. XXXX hours ... so when this CALL came in at XXXX am - I answered thinking that it was an emergency call from a family member ... HOW WRONG AND IRATE I became. 

I requested the name employee number and corporate telephone number and corporate name from the person who called me - SHE REFUSED saying I could talk to her supervisort -AFTER XXXX minutes waiting I spoke with a XXXX employee of XXXX who stated that the call number they use is XXXX ( not the number on my call log ) .. I advised that they were outside of collection call guidelines by calling me WELL BEFORE XXXX am in the morning which is normal for their company and that I had previously advised at LEAST a DOZEN or so times within the last couple of months that the person they are looking for does not and has never resided in my home and does not even RESIDE In the the state of XXXX. - he said it was a mistake - that the file does indicate DO NOT CALL- I advised that is what I am told EVERY TIME They call. Oh sorry XXXX - we do have do not contact for your phone number. I had advised previously that I was going to contact legal representation for harassment. 

What can I do to BLOCK this company from EVER contacting me again? - I need to put a stop to their ILLEGAL tactics and also they have divulged information about my niece and the DEBT SHE OWES - which is also illegal - telling me to just tell her to pay her bills and I would not get calls like this. THis is when I went off - this is not my debt nor do I have a relationship with my niece - SO WHY IS IT my responsibility to tell her to do ANYTHING. I did not give her the credit or money - so therefore it is ILLEGAL for them to give me the information that she has defaulted on her obligations, NOR DO I CARE. The file name they have for her is XXXX - she can be contacted at the following number XXXX ( the last known contact per her brother ) and resides in XXXX Tennessee.
