Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: Wells Fargo working with an insurance firm in Florida, allowed this firm to take monthly payments from my bank account of XXXX monthly. I never authorized these payments this started in XX/XX/XXXX and went until XX/XX/XXXX. I went to the manager of my branch who told me they had a working relationship with this firm in Florida, I told her  i never authorized these payment nor bought this insurance from them, and asked her to show me any authorization from me.Which she never could, so they decided after some time  had passed she said they would pay me for three months or so since It was my fault for not checking my statement more closely. I would like full restitution from Wells  Fargo. I have the bank statements showing them automatically making these unauthorized payments.

Consumer complaint received 08-01-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with LoanCare, LLC (AZ).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: We believe LoanCare is not calculating our monthly payments correctly and are overcharging us. They are overcharging for insurance costs. They also have our escrow monthly payment amount at {$520.00}! In addition to property taxes, they are charging us some fee called " Other Taxes ''. We are unable to determine what this is. We have made numerous attempts to contact this company via phone and email. We have never reached a person via telephone ; we have been on hold, more than once, for over 45 minutes in a loop that says all customers service agents are busy. We then sent an email, which, when finally answered ( email was sent on XX/XX/XXXX and the company responded on XX/XX/XXXX ), was a request for us to FAX our statements in ( I am attaching the aforementioned email ). This does n't make sense to us as they can see our account details and all the respective statements, costs and fees. Once again, the company not doing their due diligence in servicing our loan. Our original loan was sold to this company and thus far we are very frustrated.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I opened a line of credit with US Bank in XXXX XXXX. During the 7 years, I had the line open, I had exceptional payment history. In XXXX XXXX, I paid off entire balance from with final installment of {$520.00} ( per my monthly statement ).

I immediately paid the XXXX and a yearly fee on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and closed the account. In my view, reporting XXXX past due to the credit reporting agencies as 60 days past due, while US bank failed to send me statements during the months it was past due is a violation fair credit reporting act and FDCPA.

Consumer complaint received 03-06-2018 about Debt collection (Other debt) with Capital Accounts, LLC (ME).
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: I received a bill 8 months after a service was rendered from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, in XXXX XXXX, TX, for {$850.00}. I had contacted them in early XX/XX/XXXX to assist in saving 2 dogs from a shelter ( a site on XXXX to rescue animals ). I agreed to pay a fee of {$200.00} to shelter and return to health these 2 dogs. The first dog was released within a few days but the other dog had XXXX XXXX, which required a 2-3 week board. The 2nd dog was released, transported to me in VA and I fostered them until they were placed in their forever homes. I moved back to my home in ME and didn't hear anything else and assumed the debt was paid in full as a joint rescue mission. Until, I received this startling debt. The invoice indicated the amounts were charged to me in XX/XX/XXXX, months after the services were rendered, 5 months after the dogs had been placed in new  homes. The amount was staggering for boarding of mainly 1 dog. I contested this bill, noting that I had agreed to a {$200.00} debt, which I paid up-front, that I assumed the debt was a joint charity effort in rescuing these dogs and that I was also not in a position to pay such a fee at that time ( unemployed during the 2nd half of XX/XX/XXXX ). 
No response. 
Then, a bill from Capital Accounts shows up to my home in ME with the full amount due on XX/XX/XXXX and I promptly write to them with the same explanation, even offering to pay {$100.00} as a means to settle this unreasonable debt. I sent this letter in the U.S. Postal mail AND I uploaded it on their mysteriously, unfriendly website. 

I did not receive any response from Capital Accounts to my letter. I do however. receive a letter from them on XX/XX/XXXX advising me of the following, " you have not made satisfactory payment arrangements to pay this delinquent debt and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has authorized us to report this unpaid collection account to the national credit bureaus '', which a day later they reported this debt to two national credit bureaus. 

Please help me to get this debt removed from my credit report and force this debt collector to better communicate and work towards resolve of each individual.

Consumer complaint received 09-10-2015 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Diversified Consultants, Inc. (CA).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint: more than 2 years ago, I ordered a phone XXXX on-line, while the phone was said to be out of stock online after I had placed the order I called an agent and asked them to cancel the order, the next day not only did I receive XXXX phone, but XXXX. I rejected the receipt XXXX and sent it back to XXXX, what was I to do with XXXX phones? Since this was a very high end phone, it required a high end data plan. which I got. On a monthly basis I kept getting billed for XXXX additional lines ; 1 ) for the phone I kept 2 ) for the phone I sent back. I called XXXX about this and they said that they had not received the second phone yet but that I should check back. A few billing cycles had happened and I kept paying it. My account then had gone to collections as I refused to pay the excess fees because I only had XXXX phone, their records did n't show any calls coming in to the second line they were charging me for. My account was sold to the collection agency called Diversified Consultants with whom I tried to settle. Before I tried to settle I called XXXX and asked them if they had received the phone in their inventory, by then they said yes, but I had to deal with the collection service to settle the account. I spoke to an XXXX XXXX, several times to attempt to settle this, even though they say the conversations are recorded for quality, they have still not been able to produce XXXX. They agreed to take XXXX payments from my account totaling {$450.00} to clear this debt up and to send them a letter. This was back in XXXX 2014. Recently I ran my credit report to see if I could qualify to get a home loan, and this thing pops back up in my credit, but now the account has been sold to XXXX XXXX and there is still a balance of {$800.00}. I called XXXX XXXX and explained my situation and they were unable to help me as they said I needed to get a receipt of payment from Diversified Consultants. I called Diversified and they are not stating that all I paid was the fees I felt I owed and not what was really due, that I had to dispute the rest of the amount XXXX, I asked them what about the letter I sent them, they said that they did not receive it. I have moved and can not locate the blasted letter but I know I sent it. I 've tried to get a hold of them, they are not helpful. I spoke with someone who actually wanted to help and said they would send me a letter confirming the amount they had received. I received the letter a week late stating that I still owed THEM XXXX {$800.00}. I received the letter by email, attempted replying to it and the email bounced back. I also attempted calling and only go routed around and eventually dropped. I need this removed from my credit report, it was a mistake on XXXX behalf not mine.

Consumer complaint received 08-08-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (OR).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: My first problem is in regards to 2 of my 4 loans, which were originally with XXXX XXXX. They were in forbearance when XXXX took over servicing in XX/XX/XXXX. Two of my loans were listed as having been 60-89 days late, but the other two not. This makes no sense, as I do n't pay these loans individually ; they are all serviced under one umbrella. I 've been told by many different representatives that this was a clerical error, a problem during the transition, etc. I 've submitted documentation supporting my claim ( letters regarding approval of forbearance, the length of it, etc ), but they have not corrected the inaccuracy. The second problem applies to all of my loans. I was on maternity leave in XX/XX/XXXX, and had my loans in forbearance while I was not working. During this time period, I received several calls from agents stating that my loans were past due and I needed to make a payment immediately. I made payments on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, and each time I was assured by the representative I spoke with that nothing negative had been reported to the credit bureaus. Nevertheless, my credit report shows all four loans as having been 90-119 days late. I 've submitted documentation supporting my claim, but XXXX has not corrected the inaccuracies. I 've been consistently making payments for over 10 years now, with the occasional forbearance when in between jobs/illness/family issues. I 've provided documentation that XXXX has made mistakes, and yet they refuse to correct them. I 've tried communicating directly with them, and also submitting disputes with the credit bureaus, but ca n't seem to get anywhere. As a result of their errors, I have had to pay higher interest rates on loans, and in some cases was denied outright. I 'm really hopeful that perhaps the CFBP will be able to get farther on this issue. Thank you for your time and help.

Consumer complaint received 02-12-2016 about Debt collection (I do not know) with GC Services Limited Partnership (FL).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint: Since XXXX 2015 I 've received numerous calls on my prepaid cell phone which has been on national do not call list for years. The caller ID shows that the caller is XXXX. I tried calling back that number today and was put on an endless loop of " Your call is very important to us. Please continue to hold for the next available rep. '' After 5 minutes of waiting on hold I hung up. Next I called the number given in the many voice messages left on my phone by this caller. The voice msg only said call XXXX XXXX at XXXX. It did not identify any company. I waited on hold for approximately XXXX minutes with the same message repeating over and over and finally XXXX XXXX picked up. i asked to speak to XXXX XXXX. She said XXXX was away from her desk. I asked XXXX what the name of her company and she said GC Services representing the state of Illinois XXXX XXXX XXXX and asked me if i am XXXX XXXX. I asked XXXX what the call was about and she said this is an attempt to collect a debt. I said what debt. She said the state of Illinois XXXX of XXXX. XXXX also asked me to verify my social security number but I refused to confirm or deny that. I told XXXX I 've never lived in Illinois, I have her on speaker and do not call me anymore. It 's my understanding that these kind of debt collection calls are very common right now. Somebody should look into this. What good is a National " Do Not Call '' registry if anyone can get your cell number, annoy you, waste your precious prepaid minutes and your time and get away with it?!
