Complaint: after my sudden discharge for the XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Myself and Family did experience a long period of homelessness. In XX/XX/XXXXfiled my income Tax for the year and learned it was Taken by the XXXX XXXX without explanation. I did pursue and completed the forms to get the information this is when I discovered That Army & Air Force Exchange Services ( AAFES ), had claimed all my moneys for Non-Tax Federal Debt. I took the necessary steps with the IRS XXXX to find out why. In approx. 30 day I received a Notice From AAFES Their intent to file for payments under the XXXX XXXX. This was after they had already taken action and had made no attempt to contact me in any form. I did acknowledge that I did owe the amount of XXXX. The Dept of the Treasury did send me notice that Four ( 4 ) Different payments were made to them ( Refer to attached ). So the IRS Did pay to AAFES XXXX  XX/XX/XXXXand XXXXXX/XX/XXXXof which only XXXX was owed. I have called and sent letters of dispute to AFFES and their XXXX XXXX XXXX which is part of AAFES several times and the amount owed keeps getting more and not corrected. I even pointed out the accounting Errors of where the totaled owed had XXXX  accounts already accounted for added back in. I did receive from them an accounting on my account which reflect XXXX  unaccounted for. I did send a letter explaining their mistakes and the form from IRS XXXX Reflecting the amounts. They did a investigation and will not change the fact they did receive the moneys, clearing up my account removing the False information from my credit report and to stop further collection actions. They have received an over payment of {$4100.00} and still want another {$2300.00}. This account paid in full XX/XX/XXXX and all interest charges are false, and do not apply. I would like my over-payment of {$4100.00} returned and credit cleared along with a letter directing IRS XXXX XXXX to cease collections.

Consumer complaint received 08/14/2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Diversified Consultants, Inc. (DE).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint: To give you some history and insight of what is going on I am starting from the beginning. I had an account with XXXX I disconnected with them and moved to a different cell phone provider. During my time with XXXX I financed my cell phones, and paid on these phones with the monthly billing. When I disconnected I still owed a balance, but was told I could make payments on the balance still owed on the phones, but it would eventually go to a XXXX party collection agency, which it did and it was an agency called XXXX. They continued to honor what sprint told me which was I make payments to them and it would not report to the credit bureau. Here is where the problems began ; Sometime in XXXX the account was moved to another collection agency called Diversified Consultants. I was not notified until XXXX but because I knew I owed this balance I called and said I wanted the same arrangement and to continue out my payments. I later called and wanted to validate the debt to make sure their records were correct because I had a different amount that I still owed, this was left on a rep named XXXX 's voice mail. Furthermore instead of honoring the same arrangement that I thought was going to be honored because I set up payments, they started reporting to the credit bureaus the debt they had on file. I am upset that they never gave me a date as to when they were going to report negatively and the fact that I am in dispute with the balance. Which I had to call a second time to put in this request, so while in dispute I also asked them to remove it from collection and to again provide me with verification debt/balance owed. I have yet to receive this requested information and feel they should remove it from collection as I never was given the notification that they were not going to honor the original agreement that I had with XXXX and XXXX. They also never once mentioned they would be reporting anything, and told me I did not have a right to know which I feel is against collection policies. As a consumer I should have the right to know when they are going to report, and if they are going to report, because I know not all collection agencies report a debt. Then they stated that it had been a couple months since they had this account and that it 's been since XXXX but I was not notified in writing until Mid XXXX and should not be held accountable to the sale date in there systems. I also was under the impression that they were under the same agreement as the previous agency was never made clear of their terms for collecting. I also requested for them to remove the debt while I am in dispute and that yet to happen.

Consumer complaint received 08/17/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: I took a lease through XXXX XXXX XXXX. Account # : XXXX. The lease was paid in full, and the vehicle was returned. I leased another vehicle through XXXX immediately. I subsequently received an invoice for a turn-in fee, which they charge when you do not lease another XXXX. I called them immediately and told them that I had leased a new vehicle. They asked for me to send a copy of the new lease. The finance guy at XXXX XXXX was helpful, and faxed it to XXXX immediately. I received another notice a few weeks after that stating that the turn-in fee was due. I called again - there were a number of calls back and forth. The finance manager at XXXX XXXX sent the fax another two times, and I called XXXX to let them know. I then received a notice about a month later stating that the amount is overdue. I called them got the name of the case manager in charge of my account, and had my Finance guy email them a copy of the lease. He cc 'd me on the email. The first fax was on XX/XX/XXXX, and the last email he sent was on XX/XX/XXXX. They said that as soon as the paperwork was processed, they would remove the turn-in fee as it is not due if I lease another vehicle. In the interim, I was making many calls to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and speaking to many people to resolve this and was assured that if I had leased a new vehicle it would be removed from my account. I finally reached someone on XX/XX/XXXX, who I insisted wait on the phone until he could confirm he could see the email. He acknowledged the email and said that the turn-in fee would be removed ( this was erroneously charged, and should never have been put on my account int he first pace ). XXXX XXXX XXXX reported to the credit reporting agencies that my account was delinquent around the XX/XX/XXXX, causing my credit score to drop almost 100 points. I request that XXXX XXXX XXXX contact the credit reporting agencies to state that it was reported in error. There is no reason I should have to suffer from their errors in charges, and record-keeping, and I believe their operation is negligent and suspicious in their charges. Everyone at XXXX XXXX XXXX has been insufferably rude and determined to be unhelpful, so I have not had any help from them. Nor Have I had any help from XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 10/20/2016 about Credit card () with BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (IL).
Issue: Transaction issue

Complaint: XX/XX/2016 ( exact day unk ) I made an online purchase to XXXX XXXX XXXX for a taser holster. The purchase was taking too long to arrive so I contacted the company as to the status of my purchase. I contacted the company via email a few times with responses. The dates are as follows : XX/XX/2016, XX/XX/2016, XX/XX/2016, XX/XX/2016. The last date is when I asked for a complete refund because I was getting the run around. Typically when I have made any purchases online I am not charged until the item gets shipped which I found strange with this company. Communication broke down after I requested a refund. I contacted my XXXX Master Card issued by Barclaycard on XX/XX/2016 to dispute the charge and I supplied them with all the emails and receipt for the transaction and was given a case number and told it would take 90 days to get resolved. When I did not hear back from Barclaycard I contacted them on XX/XX/2016 and was told the case has not been resolved until XX/XX/2016. On XX/XX/2016 I recontacted Barclaycard and was told the disputed charge should reflect within 48 hours. On XX/XX/2016 spoke to XXXX at Barclaycard regarding the dispute and was told there was an error and I was given a new case number. I contacted the credit card again on XX/XX/2016 and was told it would take 45 days from XX/XX/2016 to hear back from the merchant. It seems I am once again getting the run around but this time from the credit card as this dispute was first reported to the credit card beginning XX/XX/2016.

Consumer complaint received 02-02-2016 about Mortgage (Home equity loan or line of credit) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (IL).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX I called a bank of america representative-stationed in the aurora, Illinois office, and requested a home equity loan. While on our phone conversation he determined I was approved for a XXXX home equity loan. I was advised to return his call to provide all my credit card information to be paid off and I did so. He then gave me an exact amount of money I would be receiving after some of my debt was paid off. He also told me to wait for an incoming packet to be sent so that my wife and I could sign them or bring them to his office. I received the packet on XXXX/XXXX/2016 and my wife and I signed the packet. However, I decided to call the main branch number that was located in the packet and spoke with a supervisor who told me we were in fact, not approved for the loan. The supervisor stated the agent-XXXX XXXX gave me the wrong calculations when he approved my loan verbally over the phone. I was devastated, because I was holding a packet that said I was approved. A supervisor I spoke with stated the agent in the XXXX, Il branch gave me the wrong information and therefore should have never approved my home equity loan. He told me the loan was secured. He knowingly gave me false information in order to sell his product. He literally stated to me that my loan was approved and that 's why I gave him all my information including social information to check my credit scores. He misled me during the entire loan process. I also purchased an {$800.00} dollar phone on XXXX/XXXX/16 knowing that several of my credit cards would be paid off and I would have additional monies from the bank of america. I have a contract that shows the cell phone was bought on the above date. I also did call the bank on XX/XX/2016-XX/XX/2016 and spoke with a supervisor ( female ) who was not receptive to my situation and stated she would talk to the agent who approved my home equity loan.

Consumer complaint received 09/19/2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC (IL).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: This is a complaint regarding Transworld Systems Inc. 

I received a call from a spoofed number ( trying to match my area code so that I would pick up ) on XX/XX/XXXXclaiming that I have an outstanding blance with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX. The claim, I believe was supposedly from an outstanding balance from XX/XX/XXXX 

I had received a call previously around XX/XX/XXXX, but claiming that the balance went back further. Any money owed to XXXX XXXX XXXX had been paid in full at that time, and I told them that when they called me in XXXX. I no longer had my car as of XX/XX/XXXXand moved out of XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, not having incurred any additional balance and not owing anything as I had paid up to date. I also had not been sent any notification of any past due balance in a long time even inXX/XX/XXXX. I explained all of this to the person who called me on XX/XX/XXXX, and asked for a call back from their Supervisor ( their Supervisor was allegedly not available ), and I never received a call back. 

The only subsequent call that I received was one today,XX/XX/XXXX, that I initially missed. I tried calling back and reached another representative, with whom I confirmed the name of the company, who now claimed that the balance went back toXX/XX/XXXX. I tried explaining to the representative exactly what I stated above, and trying to add the fact that I had also never received any past due notifications in the mail between XXXX and the end of XXXX, but she refused to listen. I asked for a supervisor and she not only claimed that her supervisor was not available, but that the supervisor would say the exact same thing that she did ( which was nothing ).

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: In XXXX, I was part of a theatrical production company called XXXX XXXX XXXX. We used XXXX to set up our website. For XXXX years, I have not been involved with XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX is still in existence but they do not use XXXX. I have been billed XXXX for an annual renewal ( what they say is an automatic renewal ) ; I have explained to XXXX as well as XXXX XXXX the credit card company ) that, since I no longer want/need XXXX services, this charge should be null and void. XXXX claims that, since it 's not a fraudulent charge, they can do nothing about it. I never said it was fraudulent ; it is simply a charge for a service from which I legally removed myself and needs to be cancelled. Efforts to clear this up with the credit card company and XXXX have brought zero results. I am XXXX XXXX XXXX ; I do not want or need this aggravation. I want to pay my XXXX XXXX but, since I will not pay the XXXX to XXXX, I know it will be an on-going problem with interest charges being compounded by XXXX. I am hoping you can intercede before I go to the media and my congresswoman. Thanks you. 
P.S. I have an email from XXXX advising that " Your Subscription has been Cancelled ''.
