Consumer complaint received 08/23/2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with Resurgent Capital Services L.P. (NC).
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Complaint: A few months ago I discovered that this company was reporting a collection on my credit report. I disputed the collection with the credit bureaus, but it came back as " verified ''. I then sent this company a request for validation and they ignored my request. It is my understanding that FCRA requires that a collection agency contact a consumer and give us 30 days to contest a debt prior to them placing the debt on a credit report. This was not done. Neither did they respond to my request for validation of the account.

Consumer complaint received 04/27/2016 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (CA).
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity protection
Sub-issue: Problem with fraud alerts

Complaint: Dear CFPB, This is my second time submitting this information. After about 7 months of dealing with ID theft I had requested removal of the fraud alert on the Equifax file and enclosed all the required documents, which Equifax indicated were needed as described in their original correspondence with me when the alert was put on the file. I received an acknowledgment in the mail but they left the fraud alert which is exactly opposite to that which I had legally request. I 'm attaching the documents which were provided and request for the fourth time that they remove the alert. Do I need to ask a federal judge to make them listen?

Consumer complaint received 08-03-2016 about Credit card () with U.S. BANCORP (IL).
Issue: Late fee

Complaint: US Bank Visa Cash Rewards Credit Card The above card was automatically issued to me after US Bank acquired Citizens Financial Group. I had no interest in this card in the first place and as a result NEVER used it. I opted out of paper statements, as I thought it was wasteful constantly receive monthly statements showing a {$0.00} balance. XX/XX/2016 I received a notice from US Bank that my account had a small balance and was past due. I opened a fraud investigation and the findings were clear - this was a fraudulent charge. US Bank reversed the late fees and closed the fraud claim. I was assured that the late payment would not be reported to the credit bureaus since the one and only late payment was associated with a fraudulent charge. US Bank DID report this late payment, despite what they said, and my credit score dropped from a rating of excellent to the the low side of good. The fraud department at US Bank dropped the ball and now I 'm being told that onus is on me to open disputes with the credit bureaus. I will dispute the late payment blemish on my credit report, but this is completely UNACCEPTABLE. US Bank should be held responsible for their error and they should be working to reverse this late payment ding instead of putting the burden on the consumer.

It was brought to my attention my VW in XXXX that the lease was ending and that there would be additional costs reverberating to the end of the lease I informed VW that I could not afford further monies due to a XXXX in XXXX that prevented me from working. We agreed that to return the car to VW would be in both our " best '' interest and thus with a " heavy '' heart I returned the vehicle in XXXX of XXXX. I recieved a letter dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( Over three years later ) stating that I owed {$10.00}, XXXX. I called and was informed that this was due to mileage, wear and tear on the vehicle. I informed her about the conversation that transpired in XXXX during Hurricane XXXX evacuation as well as the lease was a " four-year '' term and it concurred " normal '' wear and tear! The agent sent me to XXXX other people because there were absolutely " no '' records besides " payment arrangements '' on my records! It is ludicrous to charge me such an " outrageous '' amount sent to XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$19000.00} ( high balance ) that is " double '' the price of the vehicle. VW received ( in payment ) an approximate amount of {$18000.00} throughout the lease. I do not believe that I should be listed in the credit bureau for a charge off of {$12000.00}!

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint: A modification was requested in XX/XX/XXXX on this loan and was n't approved until XX/XX/XXXX. I made the trial payments and then nothing happened with my  modification packet. I never got anything to finish the process and I was told by Citi Mortgage that I needed to wait for the packet they were way behind ... To this day I have never received that original packet. In XX/XX/XXXX Citi tried to Foreclose on my property at the same time I tried to sell my home.. The foreclosure attorney found an unreleased deed of trust on my property that Citi failed to have released when they refinanced my home.. 
This stopped the foreclosure and it stopped me from being able to sell the home. 
I have tried from that point until today to get them to work with me.. The title is still not clear so I cant sell the property and they have a foreclosure sale date set for XX/XX/XXXX. I tried to work with them in hopes to do a short sale once I hire someone to clear the tile since they are not willing to clear it and they will not stop the sale. I have a XXXX husband and a XXXX XXXX old grandson that I need to relocate very fast if I cant get this sell stopped.

Issue: Taking/threatening an illegal action
Sub-issue: Threatened arrest/jail if do not pay

Complaint: I am writing to file a complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX in New York a debt collection agency. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX to let them know that I was mailing a XXXX dollars Cashier 's Check which someone named XXXX at the agency said that it was fine to mail in a Cashier 's Check. When I called I ended up getting the Operator of XXXX XXXX XXXX who then took matters into her own hands. When I explained to her how much money I was sending and that it was a Cashier 's Check, she then went off on me with vulgar language and threatened me with legal action. The Operator of the company then said, " We do n't accept Cashier 's Checks or Money Orders, the only form of payment that we receive are by phone using a debit card or credit card number only! '' Then I went on to explain to the female Operator of XXXX XXXX XXXX that by law any bank can take away a debit card or credit card when it has been abused! And I explained that I do n't have a debit card number or credit card number to give to XXXX XXXX XXXX. She said, " Who told you that you can mail in a Cashier 's Check?! '' I told her someone named XXXX from their company said that I could mail in a Cashier 's Check. The Operator of XXXX XXXX XXXX said, " XXXX had no business telling you that it was okay to mail in a Cashier 's Check! '' Then I told her also after coming from a Bankruptcy which my case was thrown out by the courts I have over XXXX bills to pay, so I will mail in another payment when I can. Then she used vulgar language by using the XXXX word ending in an XXXX, but I will quote what she said by putting blank in the place of the very offensive word she used. The Operator of XXXX XXXX XXXX said, " Do n't think that you can send money any blank time you feel like it! And we do n't accept less than XXXX XXXX dollars and you must be set up on a payment plan with a debit card or credit card! Or you can walk into XXXX XXXX XXXX and deposit the money into our account. '' I told her that there is not a XXXX XXXX XXXX in my area or even in the state that I live in from what I know! Then the Operator of XXXX XXXX XXXX began to argue me down by saying, " There is a XXXX XXXX XXXX in your state! '' The Operator of XXXX XXXX XXXX said, Yes it is! Yes it is! What state do you live in? '' I said, " Alabama! '' Then the XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX said, " Oh! Well you 're going to have to go and retain an attorney! '' I told her that I did not need an attorney. Once again the Operator of XXXX XXXX XXXX said, " You 're going to need an attorney and you are going to prison for not being able to pay Always Money! '' Then I hung up the telephone, since the Operator of XXXX XXXX XXXX upset me real bad.

Consumer complaint received 05-05-2016 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (NC).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: Ally Financial is reporting to the credit bureaus that I owe them {$6600.00} based upon an account that I has with them over 7 years ago. I disputed that balance with the credit bureaus, but the credit bureaus told me that Ally Financial said they think the debt they are reporting is legitimate. I firmly believe that I have no outstanding balance owed to Ally. I have contacted Ally Financial for some time now, requesting that they supply me with a detailed explanation of the charges they are reporting, which constitutes the {$6600.00} balance they are reporting that I owe. They refuse to send that information to me. I believe it is completely unfair for them to continue to report I have an outstanding debt without supplying any sort of explanation of where this balance came from.

Consumer complaint received 09/13/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (MA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I applied for a mortgage modification in XXXX, 2016 under XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I spoke to a representative from my mortgage company ( Ocwen ) about the terms they were offering to me. I was told that the interest rate would be 2.0 %, the payment would be {$740.00}, the principal was {$160000.00}, and from the principal {$50000.00} would be forgiven, lowering the principal to {$110000.00}. I was also told that these figures would change SLIGHTLY after my XXXX trial payments were made and that I would get the final amounts after I had made XXXX out of the XXXX payments. They said they were unable to give me anything in writing until the trial payments were made. So I entered into the modification trial period. 
When I received my final modification documents, the slight change was that only about {$5000.00} would be forgiven each year for the first 3 years, and that {$33000.00} would be held in reserve and added to the principal upon sale or refinance. When I asked about this, I was told that the representative must have given me the wrong information and they were sorry. 
I feel that Ocwen deceived me and falsely enticed me to enter into XXXX set of terms, then after I agreed to the modification, they changed the terms. I believe this is a violation of XXXX XXXX, unfair and deceptive business practices, as well as a violation of my rights under the CFPB.
