Consumer complaint received 03-10-2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: XXXX reported 5 missed payments to the credit bureaus for months XXXX through XXXX of 2015. This loan account was initially opened with XXXX and at a different point sold to XXXX. I, the borrower, was never notified of the sale. When payment became due for this account, I believed letters from XXXX regarding payment and balance were fraudulent. After some research several amounts later, I discovered that loan had been sold without notice to me. I reached out to XXXX by letter and the credit bureaus to resolve this issue. XXXX responded to say the reported information was accurate and they were not at fault for lack of communication/notification. The credit bureaus said they reported what they had received. 

All payments to this lender since the time of my discovery have been made on time in XX/XX/2015. I would also like to add that from XXXX to XXXX of 2015 I made payments totaling {$730.00} to show I was attempting to correct a problem I didn't create.

Consumer complaint received 10-11-2016 about Credit card () with NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (VA).
Issue: Late fee

Complaint: Could you please help me? I can not seem to get Navy Federal Credit Union to stop beating up on us. Every extra dime that shows up in any of my accounts, they yank it to pay their criminally aggressive, repressive and punitive fees. Then, this generates insufficient funds fees ( WHICH THEY CAUSED ). I have repeatedly withdrawn my consent from Navy Federal to remove or transfer funds among my accounts. 
Most recently I transferred {$22.00} to a checking account and then immediately set up an online payment with XXXX to debit this account for the same {$22.00}. The " transfer to credit card '' transaction that took place on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX was not authorized by me. This caused the payment to XXXX to fail. Subsequently, Navy Federal charged, not XXXX, but XXXX Insufficient Funds fees. Again, I have repeatedly withdrawn my consent to these undisclosed transfers, but they ignore me and continue adding to the mountain of fees ( WHICH THEY 'RE CAUSING ) My wife XXXX has been experiencing pretty serious health challenges since XXXX XXXX, and as a result, my income is sharply down because of missing so much work while taking on more of the domestic responsibilities. She has a herniated disc which exacerbated an already extremely difficult ( and unexpected ) XXXX. XXXX. We 're XXXX people in an XXXX home, XXXX miles between the two 16 year old vehicles we own, and mountains of debt owed to NFCU. What has effectively ruined my financial life with Navy Federal, is this rapacious practice of yanking money out of checking and savings accounts to support it 's exorbitant and grotesque fees, interest and penalties. It is egregious and predatory, and only adds insult to our current set of misfortunes. 
Please get a hold of someone there to put an end to the tyranny so that we can get our heads back above water. 
Much Thanks.

Consumer complaint received 03/17/2017 about Bank account or service (Other bank product/service) with FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (IL).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: We have experienced an issue with someone having obtained and used our social security numbers to open bank accounts and apply for credit cards. Accordingly, we have filed a police report and notified the credit agencies and initiated fraud alerts. Most creditors have acknowledged the fraud alerts and contacted us before any charges could be made and promptly closed the accounts, or ceased processing. Unfortunately, Fifth Third Bank seems to be the most lax in verifying identities and resolving disputes. They had allowed a checking account to be opened with a token balance and immediate overdraft without contacting us and now seemingly have approved another account ( XXXX ) in our name that we did not apply for. Their fraud department is very difficult to deal with and we find it very troubling that they would allow a second account to be processed after the first event where a checking account was fraudulently opened for {$63.00} and they gave the imposter XXXX initial blank check which they promptly used to overdraw that account. We were able to close out that checking account weeks ago and received verification from Fifth Third just about XXXX days ago that it was investigated and resolved and that we had no liability. However, today we received yet another notice from Fifth Third of a XXXX Account opening and notice of change of home phone number, which again was done fraudulently and with out notice despite having experienced the prior fraud issue. We believe that Fifth Third is not doing their job in verifying identity as required by Federal law and are not being cooperative in preventing the opening of fraudulent accounts or resolving those disputes effectively. After experiencing their weak efforts and response to our identity theft issue I would never voluntarily deal with them for any banking services and would recommend others to think twice before doing so as well.

Consumer complaint received 04/19/2018 about Debt collection (Other debt) with Convergent Resources, Inc. (CA).
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Complaint: To Whom It May Concern : I paid my final bill directly to XXXX in XX/XX/2017. I checked my credit report recently and was surprised to see XXXX XXXX reporting a " Paid/Closed '' collections account citing XXXX as the original creditor. I was never contacted by XXXX XXXX regarding this debt. By law, they had to notify me that they were collecting the debt before they could take any action, including reporting the account to the credit bureaus. I have never received any communication from Convergent, neither by mail, nor by phone. The account was paid in full to the original creditor. Moreover, I was never contacted by XXXX XXXX informing me they were collecting the debt. Therefore, XXXX XXXX must stop all collection activity on this account. This includes, but is not limited to, negative reporting to the credit bureaus.

Consumer complaint received 10/31/2016 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with Byrider Franchising, LLC (CO).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: Since XX/XX/2016, the loss of use of this vehicle due to the negligence of XXXX. Byridder 's claims has been greater than 115 days. 
This is completely unacceptable. We have continued to pay the car payments due, yet, have had no use of the car in over three months. 
Although XXXX. Byrider claims no to sell cars with salvaged, restored or rebuilt titles because as they say " Cars with branded titles often 1 ) Wear though tires more quickly, 2 ) have mechanical issues 3 ) have a significantly lower resell value 4 ) May have Safety Issues ''. 
XXXX, states that this XXXX XXXX XXXX would be included in the Buy Back Protection program. We were never offered XXXX or Buy Back Protection. 
On XX/XX/2016, when were in the process of the purchase of this vehicle we were presented with XXXX-XXXX different XXXX reports that did n't belong to the car we were planning to purchase. Unclear why it was so difficult to get us the right one the first time. The XXXX XXXX that we were presented with finally on the XXXX mentioned nothing on the unaddressed recalls on the vehicle and lacked previous records. 
Also, on XX/XX/2016, XXXX. Byridder did not provide a Buyer 's Guide to us on the XXXX XXXX. There was nothing in the vehicle window nor any Buyer 's Guide provided at closing. There was no price posted in the window, as well. 
When we sat down with the General Manger, XXXX, and he presented us with a Preliminary Purchase Worksheet. He had the price of the car listed at {$11000.00} & trade difference listed as {$11000.00}. However, we asked about the {$4000.00}, incentive deduction that they had going at the time. At that time XXXX, wrote in {$15000.00} & wrote in - {$4000.00}. So instead of the selling price of the car to be {$7900.00} it was now {$11000.00}. XXXX stated that he had already deducted the {$4000.00} before bringing us the paperwork. However, the paperwork does not represent the same. The car at the time of purchase had XXXX miles as of today XX/XX/2016, the car XXXX miles. The XXXX XXXX XXXX value of the car in Great condition is {$1500.00}. 
We believe these matters with XXXX. Byridder needs be addressed immediately. 
XXXX and XXXX XXXX are requesting that XXXX. Byridder, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX and all affiliates release XXXX XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX XXXX, from any further financial obligations. Clear this car as paid- with only positive reporting to all XXXX credit agencies and refund the monies paid on the vehicle to this of {$2600.00} point due to the loss of use since XX/XX/2016, and at that time we will release the vehicle back to XXXX. Byridder. 
Out of less than 180 days the vehicle has been at XXXX. Byridder in XXXX, greater than 105 days.

Consumer complaint received 10/18/2016 about Debt collection (Credit card) with URS Holding, LLC (FL).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I mailed a request to United Recovery Systems who is now Alltran Financial requesting that they prove the outstanding debt to me. I requested the following list of documents : What the money you say I owe is for ; Explain and show me how you calculated what you say I owe ; Provide me with copies of any papers that show I agreed to pay what you say I owe ; Provide a verification or copy of any judgment if applicable ; Identify the original creditor ; Provide me with copies of the original application ; Provide me with copies of any identification on file ; Provide me with copies of signatures on file ; Prove the Statute of Limitations has not expired on this account ; Show me that you are licensed to collect in my state ; and Provide me with your license numbers and Registered Agent. 

What they mailed was a copy of statement and nothing else. I called back on XXXX/XXXX/2016 and spoke to a Manager XXXX XXXX. I explained the situation and he stated that he will follow the requested to his manager. When I asked why have n't they given proof of debt or answer my request he could n't give me a straight answer. We he kept insisting was that if was I was saying that I did n't initiate the debt. But at now time would he give a straight answer. I asked him if they were Licensed and Bonded in the state of FL and he was n't sure if he had to give me that information, I stated that I have the right to know that they can legally collect money in the state of fl. Long story short I have been paying on an account that I do n't even know if its my, I never see that the balance decrease any and when I start to ask questions I do n't get straight answers. This company has failed to honor the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) by ignoring my legal right request.

Consumer complaint received 01/21/2017 about Consumer Loan (Installment loan) with UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (CT).
Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Complaint: I was out of work from XXXX XXXX, 2016 until XXXX XXXX, 2016 due to a XXXX that required at least XXXX weeks of recuperation without use of my XXXX. My worker 's comp claim was denied. I was attempting to go back on light duty, which my employer denied. I attempted to file a claim for unemployment, because although I had initially been informed I could work light duty, my company would not let me return to work with restrictions. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I called USAA to inform them that I was out of work, and could not make my auto loan and personal loan payments, and initiated the USAA debt protection coverage. After a week or so, I called USAA. The employee I spoke with told me that my debt protection was in place, and that I did n't need to worry about my payments. Within the next month, I Iearned that that was not in fact the case. I was called by USAA multiple times, and I called USAA multiple times to inform them that I was unable to make my payments and was waiting for the debt protection to make said payments. I ended up having to fill out the debt protection paperwork twice, because they said that I was not out for over 30 days ( this was on XXXX XXXX, 2016, at which point I had in fact been out for more than 30 days ). Because of these delays, USAA has not only assessed both of my accounts with late fees, but they 've also reported my accounts to the credit bureaus. None of this would have happened if the debt protection process was not so cumbersome ( the forms had to be either mailed or faxed ; there are no options to do so electronically ), and if the debt protection had paid on my accounts in a more timely fashion. One of the late charges was reversed, but there are still {$47.00} worth of late charges that USAA refuses to reverse.
