Consumer complaint received 03/28/2017 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with GENERAL MOTORS FINANCIAL COMPANY, INC. (CA).
Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Complaint: I have repeated requested that GM Financial correct their Credit Reporting on the Auto loan # XXXX that has been subject to a XXXX CANCELLATION OF DEBT. I received the XXXX For tax year XXXX, wherein I had to include it in my tax return and incurred tax consequences. The continued reporting of a past due balance on my credit report is highly damaging to my ability to obtain favorable finance terms and is putting my family in a position where we are unable to secure housing due to this. It 's quite the troubling scenario, I ca n't actually PAY this bill to GM FINANCIAL because it has been cancelled, yet I am unable to correct my credit report and have it show that this debt is not past due {$11000.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX. This is a huge problem. Numerous correction attempts with the credit bureaus and GM Financial have yielded no results. 

I have done research on the topic and would like to advise both the CFPB and GM FINANCIAL that this issue has been litigated extensively, and that it has been decided numerous times by courts that it is inequitable to allow a creditor to belatedly enforce a debt after it received the tax benefit of the Charge-off, in addition to it being inequitable to require me to report this cancelled DEBT as income on my federal tax return and face tax consequences and STILL hold me liable on the debt. Below, please see all the research I have done in my favor. 

See : See, e.g., In re XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX. XXXX ) XXXX v. XXXX , 36 XXXX . XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) XXXX. v. XXXX, XXXX XXXX. XXXX. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX ) ( " It would be inequitable ... to require that [ Defendant ] report the discharge of debt as income on his federal tax return or face the potential tax consequences and hold that the plaintiff may continue to hold him liable on the debt. " ). 

" is in direct conflict with the Internal Revenue Code and the fact that cancellation of indebtedness income is included within a debtor 's gross income. '' Id. at 270. The court further determined that the issuance of a Form XXXX reflects that a financial institution has, in accordance with 26 U.S.C. 6050P and 26 C.F.R. 1.6050P-1, discharged an indebtedness. Id. at 271.

Consumer complaint received 05/14/2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (TX).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I recently changed banks and changed my banking information on XXXX website. I got an email saying they have received my payment on XXXX/XXXX/2016. I checked their website and it showed my payment was current and my next due date was XXXX/XXXX/2016. I noticed the money was not taken out of my bank account so I thought maybe it was just a delay. 10 days later XXXX/XXXX/16 I got a letter saying there was a problem with my payment information. I checked the website and it now said payment was overdue. I submitted payment again and called ocwen customer " service ''. I was told that my payment was submitted and there was no problem with it. When I told the customer rep that they did not take the money out of my account and asked why, I was told that the payment did not go through the first time due to a problem with my bank but he could not tell me what it was. I told the customer rep that they need to update their website as it had incorrect information on it which caused me to assume everything was OK. He said I was being charged {$59.00} for the payment being returned even though I was told the payment was current and the website reflected that. I told him to cancel my current payment until I figure out what was going on so I did not get charged this ridiculous fee again and he told me it was too late to cancel the payment and I will be charged the fee again. So I am being charged $ XXXX+ in fees for XXXX mistakes and do not believe this is fair. On top of that I sent in a request to have my escrow account removed and was denied due to false information from their escrow department. My loan to value ratio is XXXX % but they had it at XXXX % even though I offered to provide proof of my appraisal value.

Sub-issue: Account terms

Complaint: I have initiated XXXX separate disputes with EQUIFAX for XXXX XXXX XXXX accounts that are reporting on my credit report.

Issue: Customer service / Customer relations

Complaint: I have received a copy of my credit report and observed that an American Express account is opened under my name that I did not authorize or open.

Consumer complaint received 03-04-2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with AFNI INC. (AZ).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was discharged in bankruptcy

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, my Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy was discharged without protest. This debt, AFNI, for a XXXX bill, was certainly included. AFNI refuses to close and take this account off of Reporting agencies. I have complained to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX to take this account off of their listings. They have all refused, and this is the only one remaining derogatory report ( other than bankruptcy ) on all my reports. Not only should it be closed and removed, but the reporting agencies list it as " open ''! I had XXXX pages of creditors. All of them honored the discharged and removed their listings from the agencies like XXXX. This is the only lone creditor account that refuses not only to close the account, but also to remove it. They even list the account as having a {$0.00} balance! Still, they mark the collection as " open '', when the account was reported as being opened in XXXX, XXXX. The actual open date was a couple of years before that. All of these dates surely fell before the filing of my Ch XXXX Bankruptcy in XXXX, XXXX and discharged in XXXX XXXX. Just the fact that this creditor is listed on my report- and especially " open '' is hurting my credit score. I have worked hard to rebuild my credit in 2.5 years, and have been successful. This derogatory mark from this company ( that by law, I was entitled to have discharged ; they did n't even dispute it! ) is sticking out like a sore thumb on my credit report. I have rebuilt my credit very well, but have been turned down for credit due specifically to this " open '' collection account- that is n't even valid! This is a terrible thing to deal with after all the work I 've done to rebuild my credit ; especially since I have done extensive work in disputing this entry to the individual credit reporting agencies themselves! And then, the agencies not removing the entry! Please help me get this last awful derogatory remark- that I am entitled to under the bankruptcy provision- off of my record. 
Thank you

Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Notification didn't disclose it was an attempt to collect a debt

Complaint: I recently discovered my Old Navy account was forwarded to a collection agency. I am disputing this matter, because I never received any calls, billing statement summaries, or Old Navy Card. 
I am only willing to pay for the purchases made on the account. 

Furthermore, I am requesting that this negative balance in reporting be removed from the collection agency and all reporting agencies. I do not want this to reflect any derogatory information. I would like my credit reopened for future credit purposes and all fees removed. 

Again, please note that I never received any calls, billing statement summaries, or Old navy Card. I am a XXXX XXXX  trying to establish credit and I do not want this to affect my present or future credit history. 

When contacting the financial institution I requested to speak with a manager three times. It was clear that he did not want me to speak to a manager. After insisting he later transferred me to a manager in recovery and he was very unhelpful.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, I initiated a dispute with Transunion via Certified Mail with Signature Confirmation, concerning several items that are being reported inaccurately as a result of Identity Theft. Transunion is aware of this issue as I had a fraud alert that was placed on my account by the XXXX credit bureaus a few months ago after I discovered that my identity had been comprimised. I sent over a police report with details of the incident leading to the identity theft, which led to an extended fraud alert being added to all of my credit bureau reports. I have since had the alerts removed voluntarily since I have signed up for credit monitoring and am now actively monitoring my reports. On XXXX XXXX, Transunion sent me a generic form letter that did not address my request for an reinvestigation into the inaccurate accounts being reported or the manner in which they were verified, or any other information that I am entitled to under the FCRA laws.
