Consumer complaint received 02/23/2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Convergent Resources, Inc. (AL).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint: They call multi times a day. I have already requested the information on said debt be mailed to me as I have NEVER received a single bill for this debt since I stopped service with said company they are collecting on. And the account was closed two years ago. I have n't heard a thing or ever got a final bill from company. And all a sudden they want my FULL social and address and all that. I told them once to send me mail on behave of the company before I would talk anything about the debt as I want to protect my identity. They refused, and are now calling me everyday and if I do n't speak to them they will keep calling like 5 times a day. On top of that they call using ant automatic system that tells me to wait on the next avaible rep as if I called them. I 'm sorry but if they gon na call me they need to speak with me directly not make me wait on hold for them! That 's rude and illegal at that!

Consumer complaint received 12-04-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA).
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint: My credit line with BOA credit card was drastically and unjustly lowered from approx. $ 33k to {$1200.00}, A WEEK AND HALF AFTER I REFINANCED, AND PAID THIS CARD OFF IN FULL. THIS ACTION HAS DRASTICLTLY EFFECTED MY CREDIT SCORE, AND ABILITY TO GAIN ADDITIONAL CREDIT. 

I have been with BOA for approx. 20+ years, always with an A rating always paid on time. 
I have had a long relationship, various business, personal, and merchant accounts, and did over 1 mil in biz, all A rated, paid on time. 
In XX/XX/XXXX I refinanced my home to an FHA % 3.27, and paid off 3/4 of the balances on credit cards, LOC, and cashed out $ XXXX, still retaining a 2.1 loan to value. 
In XX/XX/XXXX my Refi FHA Mortgage Loan was $ XXXX, appraised {$1.00}, with comp values {$2.00} - 2.4. So my financial and credit situation improved with these transactions. In addition, I my credit was good enough to have qualified for an FHA loan. There were no derogatory information on my credit reports, and all in good standing. 
I completely paid off this BOA account, wanted to retain this account to use, for medical, etc. only when and if needed, due to the low % rate, and relied on having this credit available. And due to my credit history and long relationship, I was receiving a low 6.99 % rate on this account, with an A rating. 
Directly after pay off, in XX/XX/XXXX, a weeks after refi, BOA drastically lowered my credit limit from {$33000.00}, to {$1200.00}, stating inaccurate, unfair, and false information. As my financial situation IMPROVED with my refi lowering my % on mortgage , % on credit, and pay offs, and my monthly overhead was lowered by more than 35 %. I tried to deal with BOA, but they offered no help. 
Therefore, I believe that BOA committed ANOTHER act of fraud, and MORE unfair business practices.

Consumer complaint received 01/23/2017 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle lease) with NISSAN MOTOR ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION (NY).
Issue: Taking out the loan or lease

Complaint: I returned my car on XX/XX/2016 to a Nissan dealership. The early lease termination written quote was for {$1400.00}. I was also informed by their representative that I have a 10 day grace period. Given that I was unable to find a dealership that would take my car before the XX/XX/2016 I was forced to keep it for another 2 days. Up on my return I was informed that it would take about 3 days for the return to register in their system. On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I mailed them a check in the requested amount of {$1400.00}. Based on the document that Nissan provided me, that amount satisfies my obligation to them. XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from Nissan. They stated that I owe them an additional {$350.00} for XX/XX/XXXX, even though they also received a payment of {$360.00} that covers my possession of the vehicle till XX/XX/XXXX and I no longer had possession of the car after XX/XX/XXXX. Since my maturity date was on the XXXX of every month and I was forced to keep the car longer, I do n't feel that I should pay the sum of {$350.00} or any other fees for XX/XX/XXXX. Given that my lease payment is {$360.00} a month, the sum of {$350.00} makes no sense to me. After numerous attempts of speaking with Nissan no one was able to explain to me what the {$350.00} is for.

Consumer complaint received 06-08-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint: I have been disputing this account on my Report since  XX/XX/XXXX when I noticed that this appeared on my report.
I have asked both   XXXX   ( CRA ) as well as  XXXX  ( Creditor ) to furnish me with copies of an original contract bearing my signature, and have failed to do so. I know that I did not open an account at  XXXX .   XXXX   does not verify the information according to the FCRA, will not provide me the contents of my credit file not the report, my file must contain hard copies of all creditor information about said account according to this act and that I am entitled to said contents.
I have spoken to   XXXX    several time after each dispute requesting documentation, the person who is verifying this information and the method that   XXXX    is using to verify. I was just told by a Supervisor  XXXX  ( would not furnish last name ) at the Dispute dept. of  XXXX  that  XXXX  does not itself verify creditor 's information but they honor the creditors information and put that on my report.
This is a contradiction of the FCRA, on how the CRAs are supposed to verify information. I need this wipe from my credit report, the amount is minimal {$910.00}, it is the principal behind this, if it were mine I would gladly pay this.
Why do we have laws and acts if CRA 's can circumvent these laws so easily?

I have provided the information below on my dispute history.

Consumer complaint received 06/21/2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with LINEBARGER GOGGAN BLAIR & SAMPSON LLP (OH).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint: I received a letter several months ago from Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson stating they represent the state of New York Thru Way and that I have XXXX in unpaid tolls through the State of New York through the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called and sent them a letter advising that I have never been through the state of New York and that those tolls could not possibly be mine. I requested by telephone twice and in writing evidence including dates and photos and they will not provide me with such. I advised them that I will not pay anything until they produce specific evidence as I have never been through the state of New York. The collector I speak with at this point invariably gets nasty.

Consumer complaint received 09-04-2016 about Bank account or service (Other bank product/service) with PAYPAL HOLDINGS INC. (OR).
Issue: Using a debit or ATM card

Complaint: I had an issue with a merchant where the digital items that I have purchased were disappearing from my account. I used my paypal business debit card to make the purchases. After this occurring for months the only response I was getting from the developer was automated email mails that had nothing to do with the issue until the last one. It stated that I needed to provide screens shots of the items that disappeared. Since that was an impossible thing to do, being that they disappeared, I called XXXX support. They advised that since they can only refund 24 hours of charges due to company policy, I should call my card provider and dispute the charges. The total amount I have spent exceeds {$50000.00}. I called PayPal and filed the dispute. Only disputing the charges from the time I noticed the items disappearing. Paypal then denied the dispute and locked my paypal account in a matter of a few days. When I phoned them to ask why they responded saying I would have to hire a lawyer and subpoena them to get an explanation. A few months prior to this I had a fraudulent dispute filed on me and they decided against me due to the fact I did n't have proof of shipping. The item was a digital item so there is no way to prove that. I used paypal for a considerable amount of transactions prior to all this with no complaints or issues that would negatively portray me in any way. I feel that PayPal is taking advantage of being the middle man without accepting the responsibility of insuring the purchases properly. Due to the fact that the items I purchased were disappearing I felt that taking XXXX advice was the right course of action.
