Consumer complaint received 02/21/2018 about Debt collection (Other debt) with The CBE Group, Inc. (PA).
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: On or about XX/XX/XXXX I signed up for XXXX XXXX home internet service. This offer was for a 30 day free trial of the XXXX internet service. It reportedly included free installation and ability to cancel within 30 days without obligation. The service started on XX/XX/XXXX, but I could not use it until the XXXX or XXXX due to faulty wiring. An installer came and fixed a problem with the wiring and I used the service for 2-3 days. On the XXXX of XXXX I called XXXX and canceled the service because the internet was too slow ( took 2-3 minutes to load my email browser, unable to stream data ). The representative canceled my service and sent out a return kit for me to return the XXXX modem that they had provided for the service. I received the return kit on the XXXX of XXXX and sent it back to XXXX on or about the XXXX of XXXX. ( They give you 30 days to return it ) In the middle of XXXX, I received a bill from XXXX for XXXX XXXX This bill included charges for the prorated service from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX as well as XXXX $ for Modem/Router combo. I Called XXXX and told them that I had returned the router and it needed to be removed from the bill. The representative told me that " Don't worry, that's not your final bill, once the modem is received in the 'system ' they will issue a new bill with an adjustment. '' In XXXX I received the same bill from XXXX, I called and spoke to multiple people from their company trying to resolve this issue, they kept telling me that " it's a valid charge. '' I told them that I would not pay for a router I had returned to them. In XXXX I called again ( unknown day ) and spoke to more people, again I was told the same thing. I even asked to speak to a manager and got nowhere. I even had to ask several times for " someone who speaks my language '' because most of the reps had thick XXXX accents and I could not understand them at all. I decided to not pay them at all, and on XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from XXXX XXXX ( a debt collector ) on behalf of XXXX trying to collect the debt. I called and told them that the debt is not valid and they told me to send them a written rebuttal. I will not do this because they will simply tell XXXX my side and XXXX will say " It's a valid debt '' I'm frustrated and tired of dealing with this company that I had services from for just 6 days

Consumer complaint received 02-07-2017 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with SLM CORPORATION (TN).
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't decrease my monthly payments

Complaint: I graduated college and my payments started at $ XXXX month with a 9.25 % interest rate. I have paid on time every month since, except one time when I paid 3 days after my due date due to my finances. I called a week ahead and spoke with a service rep who stated it was not an issue and that I would n't be late because of my grace period. Within 2 days, they called me and my grandparents 8 times in 1 day. I called and asked them why they were harassing me when I was n't even late and had spoken with their rep prior stating I 'd definitely have it paid within the week it was due. They said they call everyone at that rate and when I told them I was starting to have financial trouble because my payment is so high, they offered no help. I then asked about my interest rate because it had gone up to 9.625 % and they offered no help there as well. I told them I really wanted at least my interest rate lowered if both were n't possible so I could really start paying off my loan and they rudely told me I needed to pay more than the minimum due to make that happen. HOW CAN A PERSON OUT OF COLLEGE AFFORD MORE THAN {$800.00}? They are completely greedy and unreasonable. They will not lower my payment or my interest rate based on my income. I have called multiple times as I am going through financial difficulties and do n't want to default on my loans, but they are less than helpful. Im not calling saying I ca n't pay. I genuinely want to keep paying on my loan, but I do n't know how much longer I can afford this payment and I am afraid of defaulting and getting harassing phone calls everyday.

Consumer complaint received 11/29/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with U.S. BANCORP (CA).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: I have applied for a new mortgage loan with US Bank. They asked me for several supporting documents including my tax returns and schedule XXXX for XXXX XXXX that I owned. I file my taxes using XXXX from XXXX ( XXXX and XXXX ). I provided them my tax returns for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX along with the XXXX XXXX. The XXXX XXXX format generated by XXXX is different from the XXXX seen on the IRS website, even though all the information is same on both the formats. Also, the forms I provided clearly state Schedule XXXX on top and my tax returns have been accepted by the IRS and XXXX is an IRS approved Tax software. However, the bank is insisting that the XXXX XXXX provided by me are not the right format. I offered to redo the XXXX XXXX to the format required by the bank and the bank declined that option. The interesting thing is that all the XXXX XXXX 's I provided are having {$0.00} entries and do not impact my credit worthiness or assets or liablities. We have been going back and forth on this for more than XXXX weeks and there is no resolution. The issue is at a stalemate. I have provided all legal documents and information required by the bank and they are simply refusing to move forward based on the XXXX XXXX issue. I believe they are acting in an authoritarian manner and possibly discriminating against me and using the XXXX XXXX as an excuse. The Schedule XXXX 's I have provided are legally accepted forms by the IRS and yet the US Bank is refusing to accept the same. The loan XXXX I am dealing with is curt and not willing to listen to me.

Complaint: Last month I was approached by the local branch manager to use XXXX Wells Fargo 's products.

Consumer complaint received 04/16/2018 about Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan (Personal line of credit) with UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (TX).
Issue: Getting a line of credit

Complaint: I applied for a personal line of credit in the amount of {$5000.00} to make repairs to my home. I used USAA 's online application and was denied. The reasons cited were serious delinquencies on my account, which is incorrect. I do not have any outstanding balances on my account. There is a Bankruptcy from XX/XX/2014that was dismissed when I became unable to work, however, the small amount of debt that was placed in the Bankruptcy has since been paid when I began to receive my XXXX  payments. The bankruptcy was filed to save my home and all my accounts are in outstanding condition. Therefore, I believe that USAA is using incorrect information. I called and asked to speak with a senior representative and have gotten nowhere. I have banked with them for over 15 years and have not burned them on any payments or been delinquent on anything ( automobile insurance ) or checking account. I do not have a bankruptcy account listed with them and am just baffled about how they are getting this wrong information. My application was unfairly declined. I wand someone at the corporate level to relook at my application.

Consumer complaint received 11/29/2015 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with EOS Holdings, Inc. (WA).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: From XXXX XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX I had a contract with XXXX XXXX XXXX company in XXXX TX. I discontinued my service due to work relocation, paid my bill and sent the equipment back to the company. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I applied to refinance my home loan in WA and saw the negative mark on my credit for a charge from XXXX XXXX XXXX. This mark lowered my credit score roughly XXXX points from an XXXX to a XXXX. 

I contacted the collection company seeking payment ( EOS ) and they gave me XXXX contact information. Upon contacting XXXX XXXX XXXX they told me that they never received a cable modem back from me in XX/XX/XXXX. I told them I sent it back and asked for the tracking confirmation for the box they sent me to return the equipment. The representative told me they could n't see and notes or information on my account because it was so old. They had very limited information. I also never received any mail or telephone calls related to this charge for the equipment from now back to XX/XX/XXXX. I asked for verification for any type of attempted contact and they also said they had no records for that. 

I have always changed/ forwarded my address at the United States Post Office upon relocating for work promptly because I value paying my debts and having a perfect credit score. I contacted the US Post Office to try and show verification of that, but they only keep copies of those records for one year. 

I am very responsible at paying all my bills and debts before due dates. I would have perfect credit if it were n't for this XXXX charge from XXXX XXXX XXXX related to a modem that I did return. If the modem never returned back to the company it was either lost in the postal service or there was an administration mistake, but due to XXXX records or lack there of, there is n't any information to prove a case. 

I never received any type of collection notification or opportunity to settle this issue prior to it appearing on my credit score.

Consumer complaint received 04/29/2016 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CO).
Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting my free annual report

Complaint: I am re-financing my mortgage ( hopefully ) and I needed to review my credit report. I was able to access XXXX and XXXX, but unable to access Experian. I tried XXXX Internet portals, but could never get beyond the first page where I provided my personal information. Both sites took me back to the first page repeatedly. I called and spoke with XXXX at Experian. She was unable to help me although she did try. Since I am entitled to one free report per year, this is ridiculous. I notice that others have complained about the same issue. A consumer reporting agency should not have to be called to task. I give them a score of XXXX.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: On XXXX.XXXX.17. I answered a solicitation by transunion to get a FREE COPY of my credit score. I made an application and they required a credit card. I complied thinking they needed for identification or future purchase choices. That wa not their intent. They signed me up for a subscription service ( there is no mention of a charge or subscription in the add. I called and the young Lady helping me very pleasantly cancelled the subscription and refunded the charge. My thanks to her!!! Now on to the problem ; I have a subscription service with XXXX.These is my credit scores as reported by EACH SERVICE to XXXX : Credit Scores XXXX As of XX/XX/2017 XXXX XXXX XXXX TransUnion As of XX/XX/2017 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX As of XX/XX/2017 XXXX XXXX Average XXXX Credit Score for your zip code, XXXX, is XXXX. Now, if I go to the transunion site, they have my score at XXXX ( giving it a XXXX XXXX ). Same company, two very different scores. This is fraud!!! The difference in the two scores is catastrophic to my creditworthiness. A XXXX pt difference reported by the same credit reporting service ( transunion ). Several inquiries, form reports ( which are VERY USER UNFRIENDLY ) and a telephone call did not correct the problem, nor did they even address my specific complaint.I am attaching three responses from transunion to support my claim. Please do not post my private information. The complaint itself you may publish. I look forward to your response and an apology from transunion, and any damages you may want to award me. Sincere Regards XXXX XXXX
