Consumer complaint received 05-02-2015 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Convergent Resources, Inc. (WA).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: In 2008 I moved in to a basement apartment in XXXX, GA. When I called to set up the utilities with Georgia XXXX XXXX they put my name on both the upstairs dwelling and the basement apartment. I was only renting the basement apartment. I found out about this because I started getting bills for both units. I contacted Georgia XXXX XXXX to resolve the issue and they never corrected it. I contacted the owner of the dwelling multiple times. He only complained about how horrible the company is to work with and said he would see what he could do. When I moved XXXX months later I closed the account associated with my unit. The other account was not yet sorted out. I told the landlord about the issue and left it in his hands. Fast forward to the present. I have been working on improving my credit. I ran a report on myself to find that the bill is still unpaid and still in my name. Now a collections company is contacting me to collect the debt. The debt is not mine. It appears to be an error from the customer service representative who worked on setting up my account seven years ago. I am upset that a data entry error is now negatively impacting my credit.

Consumer complaint received 12/16/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (Store credit card) with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (AZ).
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint: A few months ago Synchrony Bank lowered my credit limit on my credit card with a high balance. The card was not maxed out, but it was within {$1000.00} of the limit. There decrease brought it down within {$200.00} of the limit, hurting my overall credit score. Now I go online to pay my bill and for an untold amount of time Synchrony Bank has been charging me for a Card Security Fee which I have come to find out is a benefit program? One that I never signed up for or agreed to. As a result I get charged not only my monthly interest but also this monthly fee resulting in my Credit Card now being over it 's limit. I have not used this credit card for purchases in over a year and now every month my debt on the card goes up and up because of an interest fee and a security fee I did n't ask for. They are pushing me into a debt ceiling that I can never recover from because of astronomical fees. They are single handedly driving my credit score into the ground and increasing my debt more than I am able to pay it each month. I ca n't ever seem to get a hold of them as their offices always appear to be closed.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt resulted from identity theft

Complaint: In XXXX 2013 I received letter from Oxygen Recovery Group demanding {$7300.00} ( attachment XXXX ) Of course I requested any documents concerning this demand. 
They mailed to me papers with cover letter ( att. XXXX ) :1. Statement of Deposit with my name but without any signatures ( att. XXXX ) 2. Letter that some XXXX XXXX intend to vacate apartment XXXX and authorizes XXXX XXXX to hold security deposit (????? ) ( att. XXXX ) 3. Lease Renewal Application with my name on it but with unknown to me address as well as unknown phone numbers. With name some XXXX XXXX as cousin. 
With no other information filled in. 
In addition this document signed by somebody but the signature even does not look like mine. ( att. XXXX ) That was entire package of documents. Without any real information but my name. 
I informed the Oxygen Recovery Group by fax that it is fraud based on my identity theft ( att. XXXX ) They answered me and requested " proof that this is not me " ( att. XXXX ) I have an idea how to prove that me is me but I have no clue how to prove that anybody else is not me. 
Recently I learned that Oxygen Recovery Group put this money for collection to my account. 
As I am sure it is situation of conspiracy based on my identity theft for exaction. 
Of course I filed compliant with the Federal Trade Commission as well as with Credit Bureau. 
Now I look for an attorney to file Legal Case of exaction.

Consumer complaint received 11-10-2015 about Credit card () with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (IL).
Issue: Payoff process

Complaint: Went online to JC Penny to make a payment. The system incorrectly stated I wished to pay {$25.00} vs. my whole balance ( which I clicked ). When I tried to correct, it said you can only do one payment online per day. I then called. When I first got online it asked for account number etc. and social - It paused for a long time and never found my account. Then I called again spoke to an agent who told me it cost {$10.00} to make a payment using her so she will transfer me into the system again. She then transferred me into something that basically put me on hold and never got back to me. Then I called back again trying to make a payment with the automated system on the phone again. At this point, 20+ minutes into this saga, I still can not make this payment. I am now on my XXXX or XXXX attempt to get verified on their IVR - no success to date. So their IVR can not authenticate me, the agent wants {$10.00} to do it with a human, the website wo n't let me fix the issue. 

This is clearly a UDAAP issueI believe this is purposely made difficult for customers to ring up fees and late charges.

Consumer complaint received 10/30/2015 about Mortgage (Other mortgage) with NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE (MA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: On or about XXXX Borrower sent NationStar a QWR requesting an accounting of the roughly {$19000.00} missing upon transfer to NationStar. NationStar did not respond adequately. Instead, a representative from corporate incorrectly asserted borrower as in arrears a total of XXXX payments and owed the sum provided. -the matter remains unresolved. 
On or about XXXX a Qualified Written request requesting the same clarification with an additional request to resume normal mortgage servicing upon voluntary dismissal of the bankruptcy was not acknowledged. QWR followed again in XX/XX/XXXX. No acknowledgment. 
On or about XXXX correspondence was received. The correspondence received verified the error as it listed payment due dates from XXXX to XXXX ( accurate ) adding up to {$12000.00}. 
Correspondence dated XXXX also listed a total due of {$31000.00}. This amount subtracted by {$12000.00} is roughly. {$19000.00}! -- the missing payments. 
The advantage of filing Chapter XXXX, although presently voluntarily dismissed, is court supervised and accounting of all payments are undisputed. Factually speaking, a total of {$100.00} of payments were disbursed to the investor on the note. What happened to all these payments? 
Next, upon filing of petition, borrower was not behind. Bankruptcy was filed for reasons other than cram down. Cram down was incident to other matters and therefore, motivation for filing was not because borrower was behind but incident to other financial matters requiring restructuring. Petition clearly demonstrates that borrower was not behind Another QWR followed in XX/XX/XXXX. A letter was previously received in XX/XX/XXXX. Another letter was received in XX/XX/XXXX requesting extension on QWR. 
On or about XX/XX/XXXX a letter was received which states and I quote, " NationStar Mortgage LLC is in receipt of your verbal complaint of XX/XX/XXXX regarding the mortgage loan described above ... The complaint was not verbal, in fact it was made expressly in writing in the format required by the Federal Government and CFPB. An express complaint was also submitted to the CFPB and no acknowledgment of this has been provided by NationStar to date. 
Correspondence dated XXXX further states, " We have conducted an investigation and it was determined the error you asserted did not occur on the account. '' ... " You are XXXX payments delinquent. '' Well if that 's the case then what happened to the money XXXX payments unaccounted for upon transfer to NationStar Mortgage? 
Next, the letter dated XXXX demonstrates sloppy research. The letter references the original petition in bankruptcy and it provided a copy of the same. The original petition in bankruptcy is not the final legally enforceable terms of the modified payment in bankruptcy -- the confirmation plan is. I 've attached the same to this formal dispute.

Consumer complaint received 09-04-2016 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account terms

Complaint: CRA 's are required to verify the information with the furnisher, by employing " reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information '' ( XXXX v. XXXX ) contained in the credit file, and they also must disclose that the account is disputed to avoid willful non-compliance with federal regulations. This has not been accomplished, and this account remains on my credit file, despite many inaccuracies, and lack of " ownership '' claimed by either XXXX or the debt purchaser, and despite fraudulent debt sale and collection practices employed by both XXXX and it 's debt purchaser. This account has been previously disputed through the CRA 's as unverified, inaccurate, and most likely fraudulent, yet mere " verification '' of the information already in dispute was offered by Experian, failing to satisfy the federal courts ' definition of a reasonable and meaningful reinvestigation. I 've disputed with XXXX numerous times, but they pointed me to the purchaser of the alleged debt, who had been PAID IN FULL for this unverified debt when moved to get a judgement and I gave in. 

Please also note that XXXX reported ( see Experian reports dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX, XXXX ), that the original amount of the debt was {$600.00}, yet also reported that it charged off {$1700.00}. XXXX then sold this fraudulent debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, who collected over {$2000.00} from me to avoid a pending Judgement. Notably, the original amount of {$600.00} was subsequently removed from the Experian report, leaving only the charge off amount. 

To date, neither XXXX nor the purchaser of this alleged debt was able to verify that I incurred the debt, and both claim that they do not report or conduct any other collection activity on this account, why then is it on my Experian report? Further, though you we 're advised that it is inaccurate, you continue to publish and update, yet fail to delete? 

My experience with violations of debt collection practice by XXXX ... is apparently not unique : XXXX

Consumer complaint received 06/14/2017 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MD).
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint: On  XXXX   XXXX ,  2017 , EXPERIAN  (   XXXX   ) charged my account {$29.00} after one-week trial expired based on the prior agreement. I paid for {$ 1.00} to access, but considering how much online technology information is moving at a rapid speed, I did not cancel the account within 7 days but you still have asked AGAIN whether I " still '' want to be charged or not. This is a question of ethic moral, stealing money from people who co nsented to {$1.00} and then did not want to consent to {$29.00}. I want my refund. I had spoken with the manager. The manager still refused because of the agreement online. So I turned to CFPB becaus e I need my money back whenever possible. Thanks.

Consumer complaint received 02-01-2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint: I purchased a vehicle from a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX, FL XXXX. I paid exactly {$23000.00} CASH in XX/XX/XXXX for an XXXX  XXXX. The company at the time unknowing to me was under some type of bankruptcy. I wrote the check out to the car dealership instead of the bank. The car dealership NEVER reported to the bank that I purchased the car in cash, instead they wrote it up as if I was financing the vehicle. I ended up paying the bank the full amount in XX/XX/XXXX just so that they can stop reporting to the credit bureau negative information. It now shows a repossession on my credit. I had to get a lawyer to threaten the dealership to pay me back my money that they took and never paid the bank with. They Finally gave me {$21000.00} back ( not the full amount ) however it shows on my credit report Repossession on all 3 bureaus. 
In conclusion, I purchased a car for {$23000.00} from a car lot. The car lot failed to pay the bank. Instead the car dealer created fraudulent documents stating I financed the vehicle. I obtained a lawyer to file a lawsuit, and the car lot then wrote me a check for {$21000.00}. It shows repo on all 3 credit reporting agencies when it should have never been on my credit because i paid cash for the vehicle.
