Consumer complaint received 09-02-2017 about Debt collection (Auto debt) with American Credit Acceptance, LLC (GA).
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: My car was involved in a hit and run on XX/XX/XXXX and it was totaled out by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I still made my monthly insurance payment for XXXX even though I no longer had the car. I received an email from XXXX stating " Please note that you no longer have insurance with us, effective XX/XX/XXXX '', 9 days after the accident. They ( through XXXX XXXX ), are reporting to the credit bureaus that I still owe the balance of the policy that they in fact cancelled. I disputed owing any balance to them. As a recent college graduate at that time it was impossible for me to make a payment for something that I did not need coverage for and that they themselves cancelled. I would like your assistance with having this trade line removed from all 3 credit bureaus. XXXX paid the value of the car off to American Credit Acceptance , LLC XX/XX/XXXX. The Gap insurance took a little longer to pay the difference. I over communicated with American Credit Acceptance making them aware of the loss of the car. They knew that I had gap coverage and they were working on completing the payment to them, yet, American Credit Acceptance , LLC reported to the bureaus that during the months of XXXX ( 30 days ), XXXX ( 60 days ) and XXXX ( 120 days ) that I was late with my payments. I no longer had the car which they knew all to well. Please assist me with getting these erroneous late payments deleted from this account. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Complaint: my loan amount was {$14000.00}. in 2011 my wages were garnished {$420.00} a month. This went on for 3 years. I spoke to someone and they said my loan will be paid off in 3 years.

Consumer complaint received 08/30/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with DISCOVER BANK (CA).
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint: Add to Case No. : XXXX I finally was able to speak with XXXX XXXX @ Discovercard, Senior Associate, Executive Office of Customer Advocacy today and with no further resolution. He has no way of providing me with proof of my consent for the Payment Protection Fees which he shows was added to my account on XX/XX/XXXX. Their policy is to refund the last 6 months of fees charged to me, which has been done. XXXX XXXX has access and will be mailing me my statements from XX/XX/XXXX ( the earliest he has access to ). He does n't know how much I have paid in fees, but by my calculation, this is over $ 10k just in fees that I never consented to. Right now, I am getting no where, other than to contact an attorney, but an attorney would probably cost more that the fees I already paid. I was researching again on the best course of action and see that there was a Class Action Lawsuit against Discovercard back in 4th Quarter XX/XX/XXXX. Why was n't I notified of this lawsuit? How did one get notified? I reviewed the links and the last to be added to this lawsuit was 1Q XX/XX/XXXX. I am so frustrated. CFPB already took action against Discover, but I was not part of the notification process. I 've lived at my address since XX/XX/XXXX and have had forwarding orders when I had a XXXX XXXX while working in downtown XXXX XXXX, so I should have been included. My debt with this card would be zero if not for these " Payment Protection Fees ''. At this point, I really do n't know what to do. I called your number to ask for further assistance and was notified to seek an attorney. When I research that, I find there was already this lawsuit that would have taken care of these arbitrary fees.

Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint: On  XXXX   XXXX    XXXX  , I received another collection call for a debt owed by a  XXXX   XXXX . There is not and never has been a  XXXX   XXXX  at this number. I have received monthly calls from multiple debt  collectors, and feel very harassed by this. Not one debt collector will divulge the originator of this harassment.

Consumer complaint received 05/22/2015 about Debt collection (I do not know) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (GA).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint: I received a call today from the General Revenue Corporation ( or at least that 's who they told me they were ). They left a rather official sounding message that they were a debt collection agency and that I needed to call them back about a debt. I called them immediately and then they asked me to verify, for security reasons, who I was. They asked for my address, which I gave them ( because it 's public record ) and then the last XXXX of my social security number, which is PII and I would not give them. I asked them to disclose to me what the call was about or any details of the debt, which they would not tell me. They kept saying that I needed to disclose the last XXXX of my SSN or the conversation would be over. That 's when I told them that it would be over because I would n't share it unless they told me what the call was about, which they would not do. She kept telling me that she already had my SSN but she needed me to verify it. When I asked her how she got my SSN, she could not answer me. I advised her that only my banking and credit card institutions had my SSN and that all of those debts are up to date. To date I have received no verbal, text, or written notice that I have any unpaid debts, so I was very suspicious as to what this might be about. I checked my credit report, which showed no inquiries and no late payments within the past XXXX years as well as no public record accounts named. I asked the technician if she could explain how I was supposed to ever find out what debt I have n't paid if she would n't tell me, and she could not answer. She asked for my information again, I told her no, and then she hung up. This instance may have actually been the company that they said it was or potentially a spear phishing scam ; I 'm not sure which. I contacted our lawyer immediately who also advised me to not give my PII over the phone. Again, I have still never received anything in writing from any company or any loan agency or credit card to date, so I find it suspicious and do not feel like I should have to share my information with this company for them to tell me why they are calling me. The number they wanted me to call was XXXX, they contacted me from XXXX, and the technician 's name was XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 08-08-2016 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (ID).
Issue: Transaction issue

Complaint: We disputed charge of {$490.00} to Citibank on Merchant " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' for charge date of XXXX/XXXX/16. We mailed Citibank cover letter along with all prior documentation and providing detailed info on why we did not get the service they billed us for. Today we rec 'd letter from Citibank indicating investigation completed and they have no recourse with the merchant for this type of dispute. Citibank said they determined that the service for which we were billed was provided. They att 'd copy of old correspondence and billing from the merchant but gave no acknowledgement that they received any of our dispute correspondence where we gave specifics on not getting the service. I will provide you with all prior correspondence by attachment ( hopefully the prompt for this comes up later ) We have tried to contact Citibank to talk with someone but it is impossible because we do n't have phone # nor a contact person nor will they give me this information, even on the letters they send. I might point out that Citibank took over this dispute from XXXX XXXX as Citibank took over XXXX from costco. We have tried talking with the merchant, XXXX XXXX XXXX, but we can not understand anyone that has called us. Very heavy thick accents. We 're senior citizens and have a very difficult time understanding them. We ca n't even find out if XXXX or Citibank forwarded a copy of our dispute letter to the merchant. We sent the dispute letter to the bank as they were the ones that requested our documentation.

Consumer complaint received 08-05-2015 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

Complaint: Experian will not remove debt off of my credit that can not be properly validated. I do n't know what they take as validation but this company trying to get money out of me has not sent me one thing to prove anything I owe. XXXX removed everything and followed the law. Not sure why Experian is not. 

I have a company saying I owe medical debt. This company WILL NOT validate this debt. It has been over 60 days since they have received my certified letter requesting this ( attached XXXX. The debt collection agency has thirty XXXX 30 XXXX calendar days to respond to a debt validation request. If a debt collector has failed to respond to a debt validation request, then they have essentially admitted, per Texas XXXX that the debt in question is inaccurate. The debt collector has five XXXX 5 XXXX days after admission of inaccuracy of this debt to cease collections and remove credit bureau listings. They have not sent an admission of inaccuracy or any other information. I am a residence of Texas and under Texas XXXX. ( under the FCRA ) A debt collection company attempting to collect debt in Texas must be bonded and licensed to do so. Failure to maintain an active surety bond is grounds for an immediate cessation of collections and reporting to major credit bureaus. 

Experian has NOT done their job in accurately upholding the FDCPA or the FCRA. If they would have they would have investigated properly and understood that this company is trying to illegally get money out of me. This company will not and can not prove this debt is mine and is n't even allowed to legally operate in my state. To accurately validate and verify this debt the items listed below are needed, if Experian can not produce these items that the company has sent to them then it needs to be removed from my credit!

My wife and I are both in the military and we are trying to buy / close on a house in the next 30 days but I cant make the offer until I have a letter from XXXX to clear up a problem I did n't create, but I am doing my best to fix. Dovenmeuhle was servcing our loan since the refi XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX the loan was sold to Lender-live. In spite of multiple attempts to give address corrections to Dovenmuehle since XX/XX/XXXX, Dovenmuehle failed to make corrections to our mailing address and also inform us of the account changes. Even Dovenmuehle sold the loan to XXXX XXXX, they continued to cash our checks. XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX they forwarded our money to XXXX XXXX, however in XX/XX/XXXX they stopped forwarding the money to lender-live, however continued to cash our checks vs returning the checks to our banking institution ( XXXX ). The only reason we became aware of the now 4 months past due amount on this loan for our rental property in XXXX is because we are trying to buy a home here in XXXX since XXXX. Our credit score was in the XXXX 's back in XXXX and now they are at XXXX and we need this black eye removed from our credit ASAP so we can buy this house and get kids in schoolWe have brought the account current by taking XXXX dollars out of our savings because Dovenmuehle refuses to tell us when we will have our money back. XXXX refuses to acknowledge the mix up and provide us a letter to clear the issue up with the ( XXXX ) credit companies. My wife and I own XXXX homes as we have spent the last 20 years in the service to our country and through deployments we still have religiously paid all of our bills through the XXXX bill pay service every month for payment on this property ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ) and every other property. 

I confident that when you review the attachments outlining the facts, you will see that we are not at fault here and an investigation into this prepdatory lending on all the above named parties in warranted. Its not fair that they are taking advantage of us in this fashion when we have earned our income fighting for this country and paid our bills! 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX need a letter signed and emailed to me ASAP that outlines that the pastdue amount has been brought current on this account on XX/XX/XXXX and anyreference to late payments or past due amounts removed from my credit filecompletely.

Consumer complaint received 01-08-2018 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (PA).
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Money was taken from your account on the wrong day or for the wrong amount

Complaint: The issue i 'm having is with a piece of accounting software XXXX withdrawing money out of my account unauthorized. I signed up for their software to handle my book keeping and payroll for my business. 

Generally speaking, I they do checking account verification via micro transaction verifications. In this case, however, they only withdrew money of my account and never deposited anything. 

The withdraws were made from my account on XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX and XXXX. I reached out to their support today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and they informed me that they are unable to offer refunds. While I authorized the micro-deposits and withdraws, they never deposited any funds into my account and have thus stolen from me. It 's obviously a trivial amount, but it is unacceptable that they do this to me, and who knows how many others.
