Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint: All three major credit bureaus have illegally hoarded consumer 's personal information without this Consumer 's expressed written consent. Pursuant to the 1974 Privacy Act all 3 credit bureaus violated all privacy rights and allowed personal information to be leaked due to their false and misleading ways. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act all three credit bureaus maliciously and collectively shared this Consumers personal information to make trillions of dollars by selling it to various debt collectors, employers, financial institutions, and a host of others. My wish is for the Federal Trade Commission to demand on my behalf that all 3 credit bureaus remove all of this Consumer 's social security numbers, date of births, financial accounts or credit/debit card numbers, driver license numbers, detailed health or medical history or similarly sensitive information. All relations with these 3 credit bureaus are now in question for reporting fraudulent information to disgrace this Consumer. Consumer wishes for damages of XXXX XXXX XXXX from all 3 credit bureaus for their Treasonous deeds and all will be forgiven. The consumer would also like to thank the Federal Trade Commission for protecting her/his Personal information, Family, and Household.

Consumer complaint received 10/20/2015 about Mortgage (Home equity loan or line of credit) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (GA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I 've recently discovered that poor loan servicing by Ocwen for my rental property is causing my credit report to reflect incorrect delinquent payments ; which in turn is negatively affecting my risk profile with financial institution for loans, such as a HELOC.

In the attached document, you 'll find : - a XX/XX/XXXX payment that was n't credited to my account until XX/XX/XXXX - a XX/XX/XXXX payment that was n't credited to my account until XX/XX/XXXX - a XX/XX/XXXX payment that is n't reflected in my payment history

Consumer complaint received 08/29/2017 about Debt collection (Credit card debt) with Messerli & Kramer P.A. (MN).
Issue: Threatened to contact someone or share information improperly
Sub-issue: Talked to a third-party about your debt

Complaint: In XXXX of XXXX I realized that my bank account had been garnished by Messerli & Kramer for approx. {$260.00}. Shortly after that I received two letters from XXXX XXXX. One stating that my account was set to be garnished altho the garnishment had already happened and then later one stating that it was illegal for them to garnish this account as the deposits were from my Social Security and VA benefits. At this time I reached out to XXXX XXXX XXXX to see what was going on and if they would settle the account for {$1200.00}. They informed me that a settlement would not be allowed and that I would need to pay the balance in full. They also stated that the account would continue to accrue interest at 4 % per month and that I could not stop them from taking it out of my bank account. 

Currently I am attempting to refinance my home so that I can lower my payments and make my home affordable to live in. During the process of the refinance my lender informed me that there is a judgement from XXXX XXXX XXXX that is preventing me from being able to close on my loan. The processor working with my lender began to reach out to XXXX to get payoff information. After weeks of calling in and not reaching anyone at XXXX she finally got a call back. They informed her that Messerli & Kramer are now handling the account and provided the processor with thier contact information. When she called in to to Messerli & Kramer the collector ( XXXX ) began to provide tons of my non-public personal information to her without my consent. I never signed or authorized them to release this information and according to my processor the information was given at will. My loan officer then called me on a three way with Messerli & Kramer to see if he could assist me with working out some sort of debt settlement. At that time the collections agent ( XXXX ) still did not ask my permission before divulging my personal information. This is a violation of my privacy. 

They pulled funds from my bank account that fall under the exempt rule when garnishing a bank account. I am a retired XXXX Vet that is on SSI and receiving social security. I explained this to the collection agency that I needed to be refunded the exempt funds but they refused to do so. I would like to be refunded the fee garnished from my bank account

Consumer complaint received 01-04-2017 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Ad Astra Recovery Services Inc (TX).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint: In accordance to FCRA Section 609, these accounts was further disputed in XXXX XXXX. Ad Astra Recovery did not respond to initial dispute within 30 days as allowed by the FCRA. They have continued to report inaccurate information and these XXXX accounts to XXXX credit bureaus. In accordance, they are bound by FCRA to remove alleged debt from that is being reported. It is now XXXX XXXX, XXXX and past 60 days when these accounts were initially disputed. Ad Astra Recovery Service has continued to attempt to collect debt that they know is not valid and not able to be verified. Multiple disputes in regards to this issue have been filed over this, including a previous dispute with CFPB. In addition, Ad Astra Recovery removed the XXXX accounts in question from my XXXX reports but still failed to remove the XXXX accounts from my XXXX and XXXX reports. They have blatantly broken the law as they relate to FDCPA and FCRA guidelines. On more than one occasion, I have tried to resolve this issue with them but they are refusing to follow the law in regards to this issue. The accounts need to be removed. They also stated that documentation was mailed to me which is false. Nothing since they placed these accounts on my reports has been mailed to me. The second issue is that it had been has been proven that the accounts are not valid, no information was provided to verify this account. They state that they are about professionalism but it is obvious that they are not. They have been deceitful, dishonest, and unprofessional in the manner that they have handled this issue from day one. I feel that the only course of action is to file a civil suit which my attorneys have drafted up and will present with my signed petition on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I am tired of dealing with this company and this issue. I will also be filing a complaint with the Attorney General as it is within my rights. They have made this process long and hard. I have also provided proof that they deleted the items from XXXX report but not from the other XXXX credit reporting agencies. Also they could not verify definitively that the accounts are mine and that they belonged on my credit. If they were sure they belonged to me, why did they remove them from XXXX credit report ( XXXX ) and not from XXXX or XXXX? This is what I mean by dishonest and unprofesisonal business ethics and practices. They have cost me money in this process of disputing with them and this is getting out of hand. They stated that they have a right to collect but they indeed DO NOT by rights and provisions provided to consumers under FDCPA and FCRA. This harassment and blatant disregard for the law is what is have me want to seek damages from Ad Astra Recovery with filing legal suit against them.
