Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: GATEWAY FIRST BANK (FL)

The company was XXXX XXXX Loan officer XXXX XXXX He told me on since before XX/XX/XXXX that I had been approved for a {$120000.00} at a 3 % interest rate. He had all of my info I had filled out an application and all. On two separate occasions I did a inspections on houses thinking that this process would work. The most recent was XX/XX/XXXX he told me everything with the loan good to go that I could continue with an inspection on the house. I signed a contract with the owner of the house stating the XX/XX/XXXX would be our closing date. I paid {$350.00} for an inspection and {$50.00} for a reinspection. I paid my escrow and found insurance for the house all under his instructions. He told me he ordered an appraisal around XX/XX/XXXX no appraiser ever contacted my realtor to make an appointment he said he cancelled it and ordered another one through another company around XX/XX/XXXX again no one contacted us so he said he switched the company for a third time and had an appraisal scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX the closing date. On XX/XX/XXXX I received multiple messages from him asking be for multiple documents I had already sent him drivers license, social security, insurance info, proof of employment, exc when he sent me the documents it was another application my husbands info was all wrong the closing date was wrong and the loan amount and interest rate was wrong. I tried explaining to him the contract ends XX/XX/XXXX and I thought all this paperwork was done. He refused to acknowledge anything I was asking him. I then received the first of any notification saying he ordered an appraisal XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX and said he would have everything done by the following day. I again stated we could not wait because the contract expired that day. He better brushed me off saying I needed to then get ahold of the title company. I tried to get help from another lender after telling XXXX I will no longer need his services and the other lender told me I did not even have a case number. XXXX lied about everything that had to do with my paperwork and loan costing me, the owner and my realtor money and time.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Medical Data Systems, Inc. (GA)

Upon requesting why there was a debt owed and asked for an itemized list I was told to call an insurance company to get the information needed. I never signed a HIPPA release form with any debt collection agency. I was told they will not send me a letter and that they already sent a letter regarding the debt. Even after respectfully asking if they can mail another letter they became argumentative and disconnected the line. On multiple occasions they refuse to provide detailed information regarding the debt. The letter was not sent via certified therefore reception on the letter can't be validated on their end.

There is no way it allows me to take out my own money ... .called the toll free # ... first first line support and then the supervisor ... paethetic customer service who simply wants to verify me first with my Debit card 16 digit # and the PIN ... i offered them other ways to verify them but they were not moving ... so nothing can be done.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to violate the FDCPA law by submitting inaccurate information to the 3 credit bureaus. And XXXX  & Transunion, continues to violate FCRA laws because they continue to report inaccuracies from the furnisher. The last payment made that is documented was in XXXX, that means from the false reporting it is adding another year to be kept on my credit reports. Also, this account is reporting being charged off but on-time payments received. The car is also documented as bein g repossessed in XX/XX/XXXX, so how can a last payment be made in XXXX of XXXX as reported?!

There is a fraudulent account on my credit report. I have disputed the account and the subsequent collection account directly with the creditor several times to no avail. I have requested any and all proof of who opened the account and have only been provided with billing statements. I was told by the collection agency to file a fraud report with the FTC however I have a child in college and I am in the process of buying a home. Placing a fraud alert on my credit alert will cause major inconveniences when applying for student or home loans. This is the only fraudulent account that has ever appeared on my credit report and I do not believe that I should be inconvenienced any further due to this company 's failure to properly identify applicants. I finally decided to dispute with all 3 credit bureaus. After investigating XXXX   deleted the collection account. XXXX closed the collection account. Equifax verified the original account and the collection account.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (TX)

I was notified by Citi ( Citi Bank ) on XX/XX/2018 that my credit card payment was past due for XX/XX/2018. Both mine and the company 's records show I made a payment on XX/XX/2018. Their caller stated that that payment was not for XXXX, it was for XXXX. Therefore, i owed an additional {$280.00} which included XXXX 's payment, a late fee, and XXXX 's payment just to make the account current again. 

I hung up and called the company direct, given I was notified via telmarketer. I went through 3 individuals and finally ended up with an " account manager '' named " XXXX '' who informed me the same, stating they could not adjust the payment for XXXX because it was made on XX/XX/XXXX and not XX/XX/XXXX. This was due to " Government Regulations. '' They then stated they would " adjust '' my late fees because they were so concerned for me, but only after I made the entire payment, which by the way, included the late fee. This is both deceptive, unethical, and in my view, fraudulent. They then threatened to raise my interest rate arbitrarily and charge more late fees, if the amount was not settled immediately.
