Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint: The week of XXXX/XXXX/2017, I received a phone call from XXXX XXXX at Alltran telling me that I owed XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) {$2700.00}. Alltran 's case number is XXXX. Her phone number was XXXX, fax number was XXXX, email address was collections@alltran.com.

I had a previous auto lease with XXXX, and I currently have a new auto lease with XXXX. XXXX accounts in good standing. I am deeply concerned about the tactics used by XXXX and Alltran to try to collect debts that I do not owe. I have perfect payment history on all my loans. I have never had any delinquencies or collections. I have asked for proof of my debt, and provided XXXX  proof of my payments to XXXX. But XXXX has failed to respond to my request of proof of debt.
The lack of proof from XXXX and Alltran makes this attempted collection really suspicious. Please help me resolve this matter.
Thank you, XXXX

Consumer complaint received 01/14/2018 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with Shellpoint Partners, LLC (CA).
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX and I had XXXX XXXX and XXXX this year which caused me to become behind on this mortgage. We can no longer afford to keep the home and we are listing it for sale XXXX XXXX. We have tried several times to get assistance and the only options we have received were a very expensive repayment plan that we have managed to keep. Our last payment we made was a few days over our deadline. They took the payment and I called our point of contact and left a message that we needed our repayment plan reinstated. We were told it would be reinstated after the payment cleared. It did clear. But no reinstatement. 

I went online to schedule our XXXX payment and it says that this loan is 3 payments past due. They did not infact reinstate our repayment plan because if they did I would be able to schedule a payment. I have called and left messages and we never heard back from our point of contact. 

Its hard enough having XXXX, its even harder when everyone shuts the door on you to get no help. Its hard enough trying to hold onto the property until we sell. There is a lot of equity in our home and it is all I have to relocate and start over so I can maintain my help. I am not asking for a handout. I would like short term forbearance so we can sell. 

I told XXXX that I would send them the listing agent form that we signed to show its going on market. Still no help, nothing. They will get all their money when they sell. 

Its very sad that I will have to file chapter 13 just to protect the equity if we get no help. Please help us.

Consumer complaint received 01/19/2017 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (NC).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint: In consideration of the recent announcement that the Federal Government is suing Navient we felt it important to make you aware of our situation with Navient. Currently my parents and I have XXXX student loans with Navient. The first XXXX loans are manageable ; however, the loan I received for my XXXX year is not. The first XXXX are Signature Student -Private loans and while the interest rates ( 5.250 % - 5.375 % ) on those are higher than the interest rates my brother received we feel like we at least can make some headway in paying them off. When we applied for the XXXX loan for my XXXX year we were lead to believe that the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX loan was the only choice we had as there had been an " overhaul '' of the private student loan industry and this type loan was the result. We are currently paying a 9.625 % interest rate. This is a much higher interest rate than any car loan or mortgage loan that I or my parents have ever paid. What other decision could we have made? This was my senior year! We have asked about loan consolidation, refinancing and even offered to pay the loan off at a reduced amount. There is absolutely no negotiating with them. Please note this is not for a small amount of money. The total borrowed originally was {$100000.00} and we currently owe {$120000.00}. We do n't quite understand those figures. We thought we negotiated to pay a monthly amount that we could manage but we do not understand how it has been applied. Also they automatically put me in deferment when I went back to school for my XXXX ; however, my parents continued to make payments but that has n't really helped either. For example a payment of {$470.00} only reduced the total owed by {$27.00}, and one month a payment of {$550.00} actually saw an increase of {$78.00} in the total owed. We just do n't understand how the interest is applied nor how the payment is applied.

Consumer complaint received 05/23/2015 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (TX).
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint: I opened a Bank of America account in XXXX for {$25.00} and was going to use it as a backup account. I had forgotten, until today when I received a statement from them showing I owed {$23.00}. Having never used the account I was curious what occurred. I called and they informed me the per the terms and conditions they fee 'd the account several times. I asked them to reverse the fees and close the account. They refused. I believe this is happening to XXXX of other citizens I spoke with XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX. The stated the account had been access an {$11.00} fee XXXX times and I had gone from a positive balance of {$25.00} to a negative balance of {$23.00} and per the terms and conditions they could and would continue to fee the account. This means they made {$48.00} from an account with no activity. Again, this practice I feel is highly deceptive unles you read the XXXX point font on their XXXX page agreement you will find that they will fee you. That information needs to be very clear at the front and they should notify their customers if and when they would ever access a fee of this type giving them the opportunity to close the account or fund it to a level that would be adequate. This was never done. I 'm sure Bank of America is earning XXXX from this policy which becomes a tax, especially on low income earners.

Consumer complaint received 04/25/2015 about Debt collection (Credit card) with PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (IL).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint: This company takes a variety of tactics to reclaim a debt. I first discovered an attempt to collect this debt after I was sued by this company. I did not show up to court, and they received a default judgement against me. The debtors then seized my assets which I proved were protected under the law and attempts to collect we 're closed by the court. After I had stopped them from taking my funds. For the last year, they have used a number of tactics to get this debt including contacting a 3rd party about my debt, reporting to the collection agencies when I disputed the account, and they reported the judgement entered to the credit agencies after I asked them to remove the debt. I had asked them to verify the debt after receiving the judgement, including my signature, but they never produced these documents. Instead they sent me old statements, which I know does not qualify as adequate verification of debt in the state of Illinois. They still are claiming that they have provided me with verification. I contacted the original creditor to see if I can dispute the debt with them directly, as this company is extremely difficult to deal with.

Consumer complaint received 02/28/2017 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (IL).
Issue: Rewards

Complaint: I applied in branch for the Citi XXXX Card. I was informed by the banker that I would be eligible for the " in branch offer '' of XXXX Thank You points and {$350.00} annual fee, as opposed to the online offer of XXXX Thank You points and {$450.00} annual fee. For this reason, I decided to apply. Upon satisfying the sign up requirements, I noticed that my account was only credited XXXX Thank You points and my annual fee ended up being {$450.00} ( similar to the online offer ). Turns out that after a quick google search, that the in-branch offer was only available if you signed up for a checking account as well, however I was not informed this in branch. If I had known that this was the case, I would n't have applied for the card to begin with. I spoke to Citi a few months ago about my complaint, but they were unable to offer a compromise. I am still very upset about this and frankly I feel cheated - I only just found about CFPB and figured that I would document my story here so that others do n't make the same mistake that I did.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt resulted from identity theft

Complaint: Someone used my personal information and identity to obtain services. I did not create this debt. I am a victim of identity theft. I have reported this to the police and have tried several times to have the collection agency to correct their records. They continuously ignore my dispute and verified this fraudulent account with the credit bureaus. I have sent them certified letters, ID theft police reports and disputes to the collection agency and credit bureaus. They continue to report this fraudulent account and violate my FDCPA, FCRA and Rosenthal Act. This has given me great distress and the fraudulent reporting is damaging my good credit. I contacted the collection agency via mail to the address that is provided on my credit report the letter came back to return to sender. Syndicated Office System is well are that this account is fraudulent and still verifying it with the credit bureaus. I called and talked to their office supervisor who on a recorded line said they did not need to reply to the credit disputes. I have sent a second dispute to them and consulted with an attorney about this ordeal.
