Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Used obscene/profane/abusive language

Complaint: My significant other and I moved out of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. I was told by XXXX in which I would receive a final list of charges if any. We had not received any notice until XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a balance owed on the account. I immediately called the company in reference to the matter. Not fully being aware of what the charges were for, I spoke with representative XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX was very nasty in the beginning of our phone call stating that the balance has already hit our credit and when we were going to pay. I resulted in a follow up call with the matter XXXX XXXX. I called XXXX XXXX to discuss payment options and possibly setting up a payment arrangement. XXXX XXXX was very aggressive on the phone call and over talked me every way possible. I have never endured such disrespect when handling a possible legal matter. XXXX XXXX refused to let me become aware of my options, and yelled for me to pay the balance in full. I will never deal with this company with any of my business matters. I do not trust the employee of this company. I spoke with supervisor XXXX and he alerted me the information that she gave was incorrect. I will be serving this company with a cease and desist letter stating that I do not want this company handling any business matters.

Consumer complaint received 08-11-2017 about Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan (Personal line of credit) with NCB MANAGEMENT SERVICES INC (VA).
Issue: Problem when making payments

Complaint: Took out a line of credit with this online lender XXXX. Requested they close the account and let me pay it off over time ( interest rate was too high, could not afford it ). XXXX XXXX who works for NCB debt collection for this place called my husband 's, my son 's and my home phone which I did not provide them with any of these. She was told not to call these numbers and she lied and said I gave them to her. Not true, I would never do that. Last night she called the home phone which we NEVER use, except for emergencies and asked was this " XXXX XXXX '' I said yes and she said who she was. I was really upset she has my e-mail, cell phone, work phone and home address. I made arrangements to pay monthly but one payment was returned. They reported me to the credit agency and I feel these high interest rate online loans should not be legal anyway so why should they be able to report to the credit agency. They say they are XXXX XXXX but they are just loan sharks.

Consumer complaint received 01-04-2016 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (WV).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

Complaint: I received an alert on my Equifax credit reporting changing one of my accounts in good standing to say, " I was disputing the same and a re investigation was in progress. '' this is false.

I am not and have never disputed an account in good standing. The account information is attached it was a XXXX XXXX XXXX. Why the comment was added without my permission or knowledge is completely unacceptable and false. The attached is my alert from Equifax on XX/XX/2015, as you can see they falsely indicate I am disputing this item. I no longer trust Equifax.

Consumer complaint received 11/30/2015 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC (CA).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint: Hello I attended XXXX Ca XXXX XXXX in 2011 .... I was convinced into taking out a private loan with XXXX thinking I could use the deferment program for a while until I was able to get back into school again and pursue a higher paying career. I was making deferred payments of {$20.00} a month up until about 4-5 months ago when I recieved a letter stating that XXXX would no longer be handling my loan and that UAS known as University Accounting Service would be taking over my loans and that my payments would now be {$40.00} a month!! I could barely afford the deffered payment of {$20.00} a month already so I called a few times to see what was the increase for but never recieved a response or call back. Do I have any options available since the XXXX act had been passed upon for relief of former and present students with XXXX Private loans active?

Consumer complaint received 06/28/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (IL).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I was on a trial payment for my mortgage with Select Portfolio Servicing ( SPS ) with a payment that consumed over 70 % of my income. I made the payments under durress and borrowed funds. Although it was known I was unable to make the trial payments, I did and then received an offer of an even higher payment for a balloon loan. REALLY? 
If the mortgage holder, SPS, was aware that the payments were unreasonable for me, why would there be an increase and an offer for a balloon payment? I complained that the payments were too high, based on my income, but there was nothing done to establish a payment that was reasonable and affordable. I have lived there for over 20 years, although I now owe more than I did originally and no one can explain why this is. I love the location and have done all I can to hold on to this property. Therefore, I have since moved out and am currently looking for a tenant who can pay the mortgage that I am unable to pay. I will not accept a balloon payment or a higher payment. This is utterly ridiculous. 
ALSO, I just checked my credit score and the biggest blemish I have is from SPS for late payments. I was unemployed, received assistance from Illinois XXXX XXXX, unemployed again and then began working part-time. I made all efforts to pay, even borrowing money I have since been unable to pay back. Now my credit is ruined and I will never be able to buy another piece of property. 

SPS does nothing to work with those in need, ruins credit, offers payment plans that are disadvantageous to consumers and establishes situations that only force owners into forclosure. Consumer BEWARE. I sincerely hope you will look into their lending practices and how they pray on those with hardships.

Consumer complaint received 04-06-2017 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with MIDFIRST BANK (MD).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: Do to wage loss- we fell behind and currently have a foreclosure date of XX/XX/XXXX. Midland Mortgage has not been very helpful w/ providing assistance. In XX/XX/XXXX, the rep said my only 2 options were 1 ) pay the balance in full or 2 ) get a short sale. Not until I called in XX/XX/XXXX w/ a HUD Counselor that they considered another option of partial claim. After applying & weeks of waiting- now they have stopped processing because my income is insufficient for partial claim. It should not have taken 3 weeks to review my pay stubs to determine that .... before making me gather all my bills, etc. Also, in XX/XX/XXXX they told me XX/XX/XXXX was my last modification and I have to wait until XX/XX/XXXX to apply for a new one. Technically, that would be XX/XX/XXXX. Only today, they changed it to say 2 yrs from the recorded date which is unknown to them??? " You can re-apply in XX/XX/XXXX and maybe we 'll be able to process it then '' she said- so uncaring. I have a foreclosure date of XX/XX/XXXX. What if it was recorded 2 months later? My house will be gone by then? I 've had this home for almost 20 yrs. And do n't want to lose it. Although it takes 6 weeks on average to record a deed, the purchase date is always used because that 's when you became the owner, responsible, etc. Everything is settled at closing ... not when recorded.

Consumer complaint received 11/14/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (TX).
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: I have submitted several written requests to Equifax Credit Reporting agency to verify and validate incorrect information in my credit report. I have also asked them to supply the signed documents as proof that the creditor has the right to report this fraudulent information on my report. They have consistently ignored my request for proof and stated that the items were " verified ''. How were they verified when there was no proof sent? By which measure was this account verified if there are no signed documents to show? This Credit Reporting Agency is willfully ignoring the FCRA and my request for proof of valid verification on accounts on my credit report. They have also insulted me as calling my requests frivolous, and denying my repeated request for verification. I am disgusted with there business practice and willful disobedience of Federal Law.

Consumer complaint received 09/28/2015 about Money transfers (Domestic (US) money transfer) with PAYPAL HOLDINGS INC. (CA).
Issue: Wrong amount charged or received

Complaint: Paypal does not disclose that it charges fees on requested payments ( XXXX ). In this case, I requested {$500.00} from my mom through paypal assuming that the requested transfer would be free in the same way as if I requested payment through Venmo, another Paypal owned service. Instead, when my mom paid me the {$500.00}, I only received {$480.00} because Paypal charged a {$14.00} fee. That fee was never disclosed to me or my mother ahead of the transfer. Paypal claims that because the transaction was categorized as " Goods '' the fee can not be refunded but the way Paypal setup the request, there was never an option to change it to the " Send money to friends or family '' which normally results in a free transfer. Nowhere in the process was the fact that a fee would be charged disclosed.

Consumer complaint received 10/25/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (OH).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2017 XXXX XXXX XXXX submitted my personal information to multiple credit card companies for a line of credit WITHOUT my consent to do so. This caused me to have 18-20 hard hit inquiries on my credit reports between all 3 credit bureaus. I immediately contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX about this issue and I was told by XXXX that they had accidentally submitted my information. They meant to submit it to a credit union. I demanded that they fix this issue immediately. For almost 2 weeks I received the run around from multiple people ( mainly XXXX and XXXX ).  They did n't know how to fix this and kept telling me they will look into it and call me back but they never called back. Finally, after contacting their supervisor, XXXX XXXX, I was given a letter stating it was entirely their mistake.I submitted this letter to the credit reporting companies in hopes to fix my reports and have the inquiries removed. They requested a police report as well to show this action was fraudulently done. I supplied them with this as well. To date, I am still trying to get these inquiries removed. It has dropped my score dramatically. I was told by XXXX that they recommend XXXX XXXX to correct this issue. I guess they gave my information to them because a couple of days later I was contacted by XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX required me to pay for their services even though his entire situation was NOT my fault. I declined their offer for services. I should not have to pay for something that is n't my fault. I immediately contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX nd was told by XXXX and XXXX that they would offer me a discount on their fee due to the circumstances. I advised them I only wanted my credit fixed and back to where it was before they submitted my information to multiple lenders. I never heard back from anybody from the company after this and my calls are not being returned.
