Consumer complaint received 01-08-2018 about Debt collection (Other debt) with McCarthy, Burgess & Wolff, Inc. (NY).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: I ended my services with XXXX XXXX and returned all the equipment. I rec 'd a notice saying that one piece of equipment was missing and they sent a bill with that notice. When I showed them their receipt that shows all the equipment including the one in question was returned to their office, I was told that it would be corrected in their system. A few months later while purchasing a home I was told that there was a collection debt on my credit from XXXX in regards to the same bill/item. To purchase the home I had to settle with the collection agency and pay the bill for {$120.00}. I rec 'd documentation from the collection agency and from XXXX that the matter was settled in full satisfaction. Now 11 months later I rec 'd a notice from a different collection agency stating that I owe the full original amount again. I informed them of the settlement in satisfaction and sent copies of the settlement notices but to no avail. XXXX will not answer the phone or emails and my credit score is effected. Hold times to contact a XXXX customer service is always over two hours long. How do I hold XXXX accountable for their mistakes as they have held me accountable for mine?? How do you force a company to handle things properly besides boycotting them which I am doing. I will never use the services of XXXX again but need help correcting my credit score damage that they have done.

Consumer complaint received 12/22/2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with AFNI INC. (FL).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint: I have been more involved on what 's being reported n my credit report. I signed up for XXXX and XXXX XXXX and noticed that there were a few collections on my report that I was not aware of. I called the original creditor which was XXXX and spoke to a rep. I provided my information the rep and informed her that XXXX is reporting me to a collection agency stating that I had service with them. I provided the rep with additional information to search for tis account that 's in collections and the rep provided me with an address that I have never resided at. I informed the rep that I have a fraud alert on my credit report due to my identity being used before which the rep noted on this fraudulent account she pulled up. I thought that would have resolved the issue, but it was still being reported on my credit report. I then disputed online to the collections agency who is reporting me in which after the investigation the results was that the debt was valid. I reached out to them numerous of time asking for proof, or documentations with my signature but they were unable to provide me with that information. I have never lived at the address that was reported on that account, I have also never agreed to this fraudulent debt being mine, and never owned any debt to XXXX

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: In XXXX of 2016 after carefully reviewing my credit report XXXX accounts showed up on my credit from XXXX XXXX bank and XXXX bank.I immedietly disputed the XXXX accounts and placed a fraud alert on my credit reports. I have been back and forth with the creditor as well as the credit. Finally after months of disputing and making complaints the debt could not be validated and was deleted from my credit profile.over the past couple of weeks i have been getting letters in the mail from the collection agencies, for the same accounts. So it appears that the creditors deleted from my credit profile but then sold the account to multiple agencies. This debts are not mine and all i have been asking for for months is validation of account. also please look into the creditors selling these accounts to multiple agencies now i am receiving multiple letters which can be related to harrassment. I am requesting that the collection agencies validate debt owed and quit sending collection letters to my home. 

I have attached the letters that I am receiving from different collection agencies for the same account.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: Saw that there was an account I did n't recognize when I reviewed my credit report. XXXX? I sent them a request for validation to prove it was mine because I do n't recognize them. They never answered. I sent it registered - I have proof they received my letter. However they never sent me a reply - after 30 days I sent the original letter as well as my proof of delivery over to equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. They should delete this as this is not my debt. They say they have investigated and that it is mine. But how is that XXXX has listed a debt, they wont send me any information, how in the world can the agencies validate it? This debt is not mine, and if they can not provide me documentation proving this debt is mine, it needs to be deleted immediately by XXXX, eqifax, and XXXX. I am very frustrated and the inability to resolve this. Perhaps I should hire a lawyer. I will attach documents

Consumer complaint received 07-12-2017 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (PA).
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem making or receiving payments

Complaint: Yesterday I signed up for a company called XXXX XXXX and it verified my bank account and everything, when I go to work today I should be able to start receiving money from them if I so choose to, which being extremely low income I desperately need to do from time to time by just a few dollars here and there so I do n't need to overdraft my account. My bank which is citizens bank of PA is not partnered with this company so apparently they just want people to overdraft their accounts if they desperately need gas, or toilet paper so they can get the XXXX dollar fee. This company XXXX would be a huge help to customers in keeping them from paying those fees to banks. Me myself I can personally attest to how much this company would help people like me. I just was paid yesterday and my entire check went to coolant for my car, oil for an oil change, rent, and everything my XXXX year old needed and what my XXXX XXXX olds daycare requires him to have and as this is his first day of daycare today I needed a lot. I do n't have the money for gas to drive my XXXX year old to her daycare in moon for an entire week, I do n't have money for gas for work, I 'm at 1/4 of a tank my car is a gas hog until the oil is added and coolant. The only reason my bank has not joined with this company is to get the fees charged from having to overdraft when this application will eliminate the need for that. I feel all banks should be required to join with companies like XXXX to help eliminate fees being paid to institutions as people wo n't need to overdraft.

Consumer complaint received 04/22/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with Servis One, Inc. (VA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: This complaint is against BSI Financial. I applied for a mortgage loan in XXXX XXXX that took more than 9 months to be reviewed. I inquired weekly to confirm my application was complete, however, BSI failed to communicate efficiently, despite numerous emails inquiring if there was any additional information needed to complete the loan application. This was a very XXXX time due to being behind on my mortgage. I attempted to inform my customer service representative my financial situation [ i.e., income ] had improved since the initial application. I finally received a denial letter, however, it did not provide sufficient information regarding why my modification request was denied. I appealed this decision and never received a response to my appeal. I was advised to reapply and provide updated financial information. I reapplied for a loan modification in XXXX XXXX, this time with a consumer advocate. All the documents were submitted at once to circumvent any delayed delivery. My consumer advocate called several times and left messages inquiring about the status of my new request and no phone calls were returned. Today, I called [ XXXX XXXX ] and requested that I speak with my BSI customer service representative. She came to the phone but opted to call be back. Her first statements were a disclosure indicating that the call was being recorded. I asked specific questions regarding why my original request for modification was denied. The representative was unable to provide any detailed information, despite having my customer advocate and me on the phone for over 40 minutes. My specific request was for the amount of debt that was reported in the initial application and the amount of reported and verified income. I wanted to understand WHY my initial application was denied. When I reminded the representative that I wanted these responses a part of the recording, she quickly ended the call. 

My complaint is specifically related to the following : 1 ) lack of timely communication ; 2 ) failure to respond to my request for a qualified written response as outlined in my appeal ; 3 ) receipt of a demand letter during an active modification application process. 

I have the name of the specific customer service representative who rudely ended the call. I never indicated that I was recording the call. The representative did. I simply restated that the call was being recorded. I believe the representative mistook me to say that I was recording the call. 

I am gainfully employed with sufficient income to pay a reasonable monthly mortgage. I believe this matter needs investigation from the CFPB to ensure my rights are not being violated.

Consumer complaint received 08-10-2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with LoanCare, LLC (MN).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: I have contacted LoanCare on multiple occasions, With my loan switching from one to another I never knew that my loans may have overlapped, I have faxed, email, and called to show proof of payments to keep my loan current and pay off on any late fees that may have occurred during this time. Yet no answer if my loan was current or payments that I would need to pay. I have confirmed that they have my direct payments info at their location they refuse to use that to take out payments from month to month. I 'm really frustrated with this entire company now I 'm scared that I may lose my home because of the lack of communication they have with the customer.

Consumer complaint received 08/23/2015 about Debt collection (I do not know) with Southwest Credit Systems, L.P. (NC).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Called outside of 8am-9pm

Complaint: I received a call on Sunday afternoon via a recorded message for my ex husband ( of 5 years ) providing the number XXXX to call if I am not this person. He is happily remarried so I called to inform them that I 'm not him and was able to identify they are Southwest Credit Services yet was told that they are not open - their normal business hours are M-F, and Sat. and I would have to call back then. Wait a minute! ~ They just called, woke me up from the only time I get to nap - gave me a number to call that required me to quickly find paper and pen to write with only to not be able to reach anyone? That is not fair and not good business practice. The recording says they are attempting to collect a debt gives an option to 1 ) make an automated payment, 2 ) gets normal business hours or 3 ) leaves a message for one of the representatives to return the call - but their internal system does n't work - the call does n't ever transfer to a representative like they say it will ... then after about a minute and 12 rings, the end user gets a fast busy and the system hangs up. I DO N'T WANT ANOTHER CALL FROM THIS COMPANY! 
So I decided to google Southwest Credit Systems to attempt to reach them and find out they provide a XXXX and XXXX XXXX. XXXX # XXXX XXXX TX XXXX. I call the XXXX # and although they flip the prompts - select XXXX for a representative, the internal system does the same thing that the XXXX # does ... which is ring for an extended period of time without transferring ... I 'm not sure what needs to be done - but I was supposed to hit a key ( I ca n't remember what the prompting was during the original call from this company but if it was a XXXX or XXXX if I WAS XXXX XXXX ) - but because I did n't and followed their rules, I now run the risk of getting called back.

Consumer complaint received 07/27/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (WI).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX 2017, I went to XXXX of XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) to get a loan for a used car. I talked to a salesman because I already knew the car I wanted ( I went the day before that and already saw the car ). When I test drove the car and decided on the price and the monthly payment before he pulled my credit I clearly told him that I 've read that sometimes when you shop for a car the dealership pulls your credit and it can create multiple hard inquiries on your credit report and these could be in the report for up to 2 years. He assured me that they do n't have such practices. He went and came back with my credit score which was XXXX. It went well afterwards because they were able to stay within my range of payment. I went to see the financial guy and asked the same questions about the possibility of hard inquiries and he told me and assure me that they do not operate like that. I did believe them and after 2 hours of transaction and a interest rate of 6 % I drove with my new possession. On Tuesday, I received an alert on my XXXX XXXX stating that I had something in my credit report that needed my immediate attention. It turned out that the dealer made XXXX hard inquiries on my credit. Of course I tried to call them after that and after so many unsuccessful attempts to reach somebody who could explain this situation, I finally decided to go and talk to the manager. He did not care much about me or what I had to say to him. He barely paid attention to what I was trying to explain and my confusion. he vaguely told me that he would try to " find out what happened '' and he was done! Since I was outside in the dealership parking lot he decided to come back to me and explain that he just saw the report and that they did all those inquiries because 3 of the bank did not want to finance. My question is : how about the other 5. The dealer and the financial guy were nowhere to be found. That is how I talked to CFPB to see what were my options. I would like to confront them and have only hit on my credit. I just made a home purchase and had XXXX hard inquiries. XXXX is abnormal to me and what is frustrating is the lies and the disrespectful way of dealing with consumers. I work hard for my credit and believe that I was treated poorly. They made all those hard inquiries in 1 day so I it should be counted as one hard hit and not XXXX. Thanks for your time
