Product: Debt collection — Non-federal student loan
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC (WA)

XX/XX/XXXX To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to let you know that I have received your collection notice for a defaulted student loan in the amount of {$28000.00}. 
This debt, originally accumulated as a private student loan I received when I was enrolled at the University XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX, was a debt that I began paying on after I began my XXXX career XX/XX/XXXX. Since that time, I have made monthly payments in increments of {$280.00} a month, from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed in a phone call I made to you regarding my payment structure, that my student loan was in default after you received no monthly payment for two consecutive months. 
I received no written notification of this change of status when it occurred. 
I was told in that phone call that making an interest payment at that time, and continuing to do so until such a point that I could begin making payments on the principal, would in turn remove my account from default and would allow me to bring my debt into good standing. XX/XX/XXXX, after receiving notification that my loan was being sold to a debt collection service known as Transworld Systems, I contacted Transworld Systems and challenged the legitimacy of the debt on the grounds that I had received confirmation from a loan service specialist managing my account under your supervision, that providing interest payments on my loan would " bring the debt into good standing, '' and thus bring my debt out of default. 
I have yet to receive any acknowledgement by you, your company, or its affiliates, that you or your agents ever spoke to me regarding such an agreement. I am challenging your authority, therefore, in managing this debt, on the grounds that you and your affiliates are held responsible for false testimony and are ultimately guilty of perjury. 
Please feel free to reach me if you would like to schedule a hearing on this matter.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

I am rewriting to express my concern and resubmit this complaint to TRANSUNION regarding the improper use of my credit report and the reporting of inaccurate information on my file. I previously sent a letter to your office requesting an investigation into certain unverifiable accounts. Despite your assurance of conducting a proper investigation, upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered that inaccurate information persists. The discrepancies include but are not limited to, the date opened, date of last activity, date reported, account status, and payment history. 
It is disheartening to note that such inaccuracies continue to be reflected in my credit report, despite the initial request for investigation. I believe this situation infringes upon my rights as outlined in 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A, which emphasizes my right to privacy. Additionally, 15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 A Section 2 stipulates that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. I kindly request a thorough review of my case and the prompt correction of the inaccuracies in my credit report. Your cooperation in resolving this matter is highly appreciated. I trust that, as a reputable credit reporting agency, XXXX will take the necessary steps to rectify this situation and ensure the accuracy of the information in my credit file. I have attached an FTC report with the report number XXXX to support this complaint.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CO)

On approoximately XX/XX/18 I received a mailing offering me the opportunity to apply for a Capital One Quicksilver Card. I navigated to the capital one website and discovered there was also a promotion promising a XXXX credit if I am approved for the card and spend XXXX on the card within 3 months. The conditions indicated to qualify I must click apply now on the site. I clicked apply now was approved and spent the required amount within the required timeframe. When I called about my promised credit I was told I didnt qualify for the offer. First I was told it was because I have other products with capital one. When I advised this was my first quicksilver account and the site does not state that I do not qualify if I have other capital one products just if I had an existing account. I advised that because I didnt have an existing quicksilver account I should still qualify. Then the representative changed their tactic and claimed I did not qualify because I had entered in the offer code indicated on the mailing I received. I again explained that nowhere on the site does it state that I could not qualify if I input the offer reservation number. Capital one has still refused to grant the promised credit. They did not clearly disclose that I could not use the pre qualification or that having another capital one product would disqualify me from the offer. This appears to be a situation where the company has advertised two offers and no clear easily understood indication that the consumer is not eligible for one or the other. Bait and switch.

Product: Debt collection — Medical
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt — Right to dispute notice not received
Company: United Consumers Inc (VA)

I did not receive notice in the mail of my right to dispute this debt AND I did not receive any notice in the mail of an attempt by this company to collect a debt. The debt collection agency had an apartment number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in my address thus making the address invalid/inaccurate. They claim to have sent me a letter but will not provide me any proof of a letter showing notice of collection of debt. I have called this agency on numerous occasions to try to get proof that they sent me a letter in the mail to no avail. Each time I speak with this office they are extremely rude, will not allow me to voice my concern and continuously speak over me and rush me off the phone. Today, XXXX XXXX XXXX I called this office and was told by a woman " I do not have time to dispute this debt with you, I have people in the office ''. I feel that I am being discriminated against and that this company is using unfair business tactics to damage my credit for no apparent reason. 

It is to be known that when I reviewed my credit report in XXXX XXXX and found this collection account listed unknowingly, I immediately called this business to find out what the account was in reference to and satisfied the account with full payment immediately. I then voiced my concern that I never received any type of letter about this debt or any other communication from this collection agency and then asked what address they had on file. I was told the address they had was XXXX XXXX XXXX Unit XXXX, I then told the person I was speaking with that address was inaccurate as there is no " Unit XXXX '' and then voiced my concern to that being the reason that I did not receive the letter.I live in a town house with no " Unit '' association but there are also apartments in my community so I am sure if the letter was delivered it was delivered to someone else. Nobody at this establishment will use ethical practices to realize they had the wrong address entered into the system and that I, the customer, is telling the truth that I never received notification. Once I told them of my address, they claimed to update their system and delete the " UNIT XXXX '' association off of my profile at the time when I paid the account in full. 

I have disputed this illegal, inaccurate, unethical and wrong information with all three credit bureaus to no avail. Each time I submit a dispute, XXXX XXXX XXXX, decides to reject my dispute of this account without researching their systems completely. If XXXX XXXX, can not review my phone call with them in XXXX XXXX to realize that they had my address wrong then they are discriminating against me and being extremely unethical. 

I have never had a collection account on my credit report and this is damaging to my life, my career & my well being and extremely upsetting that I could possibly have a derogatory account on my credit report for the next 7 years due to INACCURATE INFORMATION. Please help me.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (TN)

I have a merchant billing dispute and was informed my dispute can not proceed for 11 transactions while indicial disputes for two transactions were decided in my favor. The merchant, XXXX, operates prediction markets at XXXX and the transactions are for deposits to an online trading account. On my credit card statement, these transactions post as purchases and not cash advances. Shouldnt transactions like this be considered cash advances? I have seen other online ( non ATM ) transactions processed as cash advances. My AMEX card has a {$500.00} cash advance limit ( while my full credit line is {$7500.00} ) and if these transactions were processed as cash advances, it would not have been possible for me to deposit as much as I did. I have lost over {$83000.00} on this site through deposits on seven credit cards during a three month period, with over {$10000.00} on AMEX. During the month of XXXX XXXX alone, I have made over {$44000.00} in deposits. During the month of XXXX, I have made about {$27000.00} in deposits. This site takes unlimited amounts of deposits, only accepts deposits by credit card, and does not offer other options to fund their accounts, such as electric bank transfers. This does not seem right. I tried to work it out with the merchant to no avail.

Issue: Settlement process and costs — 
Company: American Financial Resources, Inc. (AZ)

On XXXX/XXXX/16, I submitted an online application to refinance our 1st and 2nd mortgages to reduce our APR and shorten the term of the loan from 30 years to 15 years. When the appraisal came back $ XXXX under estimate, we were presented with a couple of options to proceed. Since continuing 'as is ' would cost us {$270.00} add'l per month, we chose to increase our rate and use the excess funds ( originally intended to payoff the 2nd mtg ) to payoff cc debt and do some needed home improvements, saving $ XXXX in pmts and leaving us with some cash in the bank. I called to inquire about changing the loan details for the payoffs and was told we 'd receive the check anyway, so no changes were necessary. At closing, I confirmed with the notary that the check would be sent to our home address. I called title prior to closing to confirm that the check would be XXXX XXXX to our home address. We did not receive a check because eLend wired it to our XXXX and paid off our 2nd mtg - saving us ZERO in monthly expenses. We are still left with existing cc debt at $ XXXX, the add'l pmt for the XXXX at $ XXXX, outstanding home repairs, and no cash cushion in the bank. Had it been made clear that we would not be receiving the check for $ XXXX, we would not have included this in the refi, and would 've simply refi 'd the 1st mtg only. 
I feel that we were mislead, either by miscommunication or omission, with regard to the final steps of this loan process. Had the closing disclosures specified to whom the payoff would go ( ie : '2nd mortgage ' or XXXX & XXXX XXXX ' ) it would have been an easy correction to make when we signed with the notary and could 've easily rescinded and restructured the loan during the 3-day ROR period.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc. (CA)

I am the  administrator of  my mother 's estat e. In  XX/XX/XXXX  , she took out a reverse mortgage on her home with  XXXX . She passed away in XX/XX/XXXX . At the time of her death the reverse mortgage was being administered by Reverse Mortgage Solutions  (  "  RMS  '' ). Upon her death, I promptly provid ed RMS  with all requested documentation showing that I was t he administrator of her estate and advising them that I was selling the home. I provided a copy  of the real estate listing agreement for their records.  <P/> In   XX/XX/XXXX , RMS tresp assed upon the property, and vandalized it by changing the locks and installing a lock box. When I enquired why this was done, no one at  RMS  could provide a reason. I incurred costs of {$230.00} as a result. I sent RMS a written demand for my costs, but have never received a response.  <P/> In XX/XX/XXXX , a buyer was found for the property and an escrow opened. When the escrow company submitted a request for the payoff demand statement,  RMS  responded by issuing a Notice of Default and initiating foreclosure proceedings. Since the property was already in the process of being sold, with an active escrow, it would appear that the foreclosure was initiated simply to run up additional fees and costs.  <P/> Although the estimated closing date of for the sale was   XX/XX/XXXX ,   RMS submitted a payoff demand that calculated interest through   XX/XX/XXXX  . Not wanting to delay the sale, I agreed to pay the full amount of the demand, with the understanding that RMS would refund the unearned interest. RMS received the funds necessary to satisfy its demand on   XX/XX/XXXX .   <P/> When 30 days had elapsed and I did not receive a check, I contacted RMS about the refund of the unearned interest. I was told that they are not required to refund the interest.  <P/> The payoff demand included a charge for "  Corporate Advance  of {$720.00}. I have not received a response to my written request for an explanation of or documentation for this charge.  <P/> The payoff demand included a charge for " Outstanding Fees & Costs '' in the amount of {$2000.00}. RMS has not responded to my written request for an explanation of or documentation for the charge.  <P/> Given that  RMS  administ ers and/or  makes loans on reverse mortgages, the elderly or their legal representatives make up a disproportionate share of its accounts. From my experience it appears that  RMS  engages in unfair business practices, which include refusing to communicate or respond to inquires from its clients and/or representatives and adding unlawful fees and costs to its loan balances. While the amounts charged are not great, if RMS engages in this type of activity on a regular basis, the fees and costs collected from its thousands of elderly clients  may  be significant.

There is an account with National Credit Systems Inc for an apartment complex XXXX XXXX XXXX. that is indicating there was money owed due to not giving a written notice. This is not accurate because I did give a 45 day written notice to XXXX who actually worked in the office and he inspected the apt and told us what was needed to be cleaned to avoid any fines. Since we were on a month to month bases since the lease had expired only 30 days written notice was required yet we gave a 45 day notice.
