Consumer complaint received 10/30/2015 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Consolidated Recovery Group, LLC (OR).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt resulted from identity theft

Complaint: I had a merchant account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. They claim that I charged someone 's credit card for {$4900.00} under my merchant account number. I never initiated any such charge. Apparently someone else had XXXX XXXX XXXX change my merchant number to route to their bank account and placed a fraudulent charge to someone 's credit card under my business name. Once the money was deposited to their account, they withdrew the funds and closed the account. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX got notice of a charge back under my company name and tried to recover the funds, but the account was closed. They are now contacting me and are claiming that I need to pay for this charge. 

I let them know that I was completely unaware of this and never charge a single credit card on my merchant account ( I opened this account to allow my customers to make ACH payments to me - they are usually less than $ XXXX/month ). XXXX XXXX XXXX never even notified me that my bank account was changed and I did not authorize a change of my bank account at any time. 

Obviously, the bank account was not opened in my name, as they must be opened in person with photo ID according to the Patriot Act. XXXX XXXX XXXX will not release to me the name of the person whose credit card initiated the charge back and they wo n't give me the name of the bank and account # where the funds were deposited, so I have no way of knowing exactly how this even happened. I can report that I received an ACH deposit the Monday after this alleged credit card charge ( Father 's Day ), so this must have been a very quick change. 

Since I did not initiate the change of this bank account information and did not make this charge, I should not be held accountable for it. I notified XXXX XXXX of this and they acknowledge it was probably fraud, yet they will do absolutely nothing on their end to investigate this fraud. They are only willing to proceed with collections against me, even though I had nothing no ability to control their security practices, which are obviously flawed. 

On my end, I did file a police report of this fraud and a fraud report with the Federal Trade Commission. I continued to receive calls from XXXX XXXX XXXX demanding payment along with threats that they were going to send me to collections. I kept denying I made this charge, yet they still proceeded with collections. I just received my first collections notice from Consolidated Recovery Group, LLC and I responded that I am disputing this charge.

Consumer complaint received 04-07-2017 about Debt collection (Medical) with Synerprise Consulting Services, Inc. (TX).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint: I received a voice message on my cell phone from a collection agency. The name of the agency was not provided. The female caller 's message gave a number and a website, XXXX. I was unable after several search attempts to find the site. 
I called the number provided and when I asked the name of the caller, i thought he said XXXX. 

This billing is related to charges by XXXX XXXX that they failed to submit to XXXX on my behalf in XX/XX/XXXX. During the conversation when I attempted to relate this information to XXXX he became very rude demanding that I " just pay up '' etc. 
Since I was n't able to communicate my situation with him, At present, I have not received a written request. 

I politely asked that the agency make no further phone calls to me. XXXX rather arrogantly replied " We 'll keep calling until you pay this balance. 

I have contacted XXXX and have confirmed as I had questioned XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, that they had received only XXXX claims during the calendar year, XX/XX/XXXX totaling less than {$300.00}. I was billed for {$280.00} which I have attempted to pay, and discovered that XXXX of my payments were never recorded. 

I called the clinic business office today to get the name of the company, Synerprise Consulting. I then called the agency and requested XXXX full name, but was told there was no one there named XXXX. The person I spoke to was XXXX ( who would not provide his last name ). Her told me he had no idea who it was that I spoke, but finally admitted that the name is XXXX but refused to provide that last name as well. 

XXXX has arranged to send copies of the XXXX claims filed by the clinic in XX/XX/XXXX which are close to {$200.00} total. I visited XXXX doctors at the clinic in XX/XX/XXXX and also had regular XXXX because I am on XXXX & XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 05/30/2016 about Credit card () with BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (CA).
Issue: Balance transfer

Complaint: I opened a new account with Barclay Bank XX/XX/2016. 
And I was offered a 0 % balance transfer offer. So I called in on XXXX XXXX and did a balance transfer over the phone to one of my XXXX XXXX cards. 
After 10 days had passed and nothing happened I called Barclay Bank to check on the balance transfer status and they started to ask me strange questions ; Like who I was paying? What I was using the money for and so on ... 
I told them I was just paying one of my XXXX XXXX cards. 
So they told me that they need to verify my identity and I was : Wait a minute you already know who I 'm. Barclay Bank already checked my identity when I opened the account and again when I requested a credit limit increase which they approved as well. 
So they told to send them documents ( Utility bills, copy of social, copy of driver 's license, etc ... ) to prove my identity. I then send twice the documents they requested and Barclay Bank is do n't want to honor the balance transfer. 
Every time I called in they are rude and give me all kinds of ridiculous excuses. 
I already send the documents twice and they still do n't want to honor the 0 % balance transfer. 
It seems to me that they are trying to pull some type of bait and switch deal on me. 
If all they wanted was to confirm my identity why do n't they ask me questions about my credit report just like any other bank. Why being rude to me and make me send documents when we have credit reports? 
If they are not so sure who I 'm why give me a credit card in the first place? 
It make no sense to me ... 
I would like Barclay Bank to honor the 0 % offer or please stop wasting my time.

Consumer complaint received 03-03-2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint: child support showed up on my credit report. This was incorrect in the first place because I was on XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX so they were not legally able to even go after me for child support at the time. 
Anyway. Eventually they closed the case as paid because they couldn't go after me in the first place, I was never subject to the debt. 
Not only should this not be on my report in the first place, but now it is really really old and still shows. 
it is on Transunion, XXXX ( though XXXX says its from XX/XX/XXXX when I wasn't even born yet. ) and transunion. 
It is just showing under " closed accounts '' but it reflects badly as it shows I wasn't paying and its very clear what it is for which reflects badly on me personally as well.

Consumer complaint received 12-10-2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with MONEY SOURCE, THE (OH).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Back in XXXX I stopped paying my mortgage because of a medical condition caused by my XXXX, which caused me to XXXX and not remember to pay bills. I missed my XXXX payment, paid in XXXX, and stopped paying through XXXX of XXXX. I received a letter from XXXX in XXXX and my husband opened it and made me call to make arrangements to pay the months that were missed. The letter stated that if they did n't hear from me within 30 days that it would go into pre-foreclosure, and even though I called within the 30 day window, the told me that it had been sent the day before and they would n't accept any payments. At that point I had all of the money in my account to pay the back balance in full ( over XXXX in my checking account ) but they refused to accept my payment. I was told that someone would be contacting me to make arrangements to stop the foreclosure proceedings. In XXXX I was contacted and they told me that I could resume making normal payments again but only in the amount due and only by check through the mail, so from XXXX through XXXX I did that, and starting in XXXX my husband took over the finances to make sure that everything was paid on time. I signed a Loan Modification Agreement, and the person that I talked to on the phone said that there was nothing they could do about reporting the late payments from XXXX but that once the paperwork was signed, that the foreclosure proceedings would be removed. From XXXX XXXX until we sold the house in XXXX of XXXX we never missed another payment, and no foreclosure paperwork was ever filed with the court. When we went to get a approval to buy another home though, they were reporting my payments late until XXXX of XXXX, so we had to wait at least until XXXX of XXXX before we could get approved. I sent the credit bureau 's paper work with bank statements that showed that each one of our checks cleared from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX, but XXXX XXXX came back and said that they were reporting accurately. With that being said, we tried again in XXXX, and now the credit reports show XXXX lenders XXXX XXXX and The Money Source both reporting during overlapping times, and now it shows up as a foreclosure from XXXX XXXX through XXXX XXXX. We could n't do anything at that point, so we tried again in XXXX of XXXX and now the foreclosure is reporting through XXXX XXXX. XXXX is reporting the foreclosure and The Money Source is reporting late through that whole period at the same time. We first had to prove that it was n't a foreclosure and that there was only one company servicing the loan, they are both the same company and when we did the modification they changed who serviced it from XXXX to The Money Source and every time we dispute it, the issue gets worse.

Consumer complaint received 10/30/2017 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (CA).
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Complaint: On XX/XX/2017 someone fraudulently used my Debit Card Number and Pin at a Chase ATM and withdrew {$200.00}. That same night I noticed the withdrawal, after knowing I did not use an ATM that day, and immediately reported it to the Chase fraud department. After reviewing my case, Chase responded to me that it was not fraudulent activity, and gave me 3 reasons : They used my Pin, my Pin was used successfully the first time, the location was at a spot within reasonable distance from my work. 

I called back and escalated this issue, knowing I had been robbed and someone else had my account information. Still, Chase has decided to not refund my stolen money. After looking into the matter more, I asked a Chase representative to give me the timestamp of transactions for that day. I was advised that the ATM withdrawal was done at XXXX. I asked when my purchase at XXXX XXXX was made, and was told XXXX. After looking at the differences in time, it is absolutely impossible that I could get from the bank ATM where I was robbed to the XXXX XXXX location where I paid for lunch. This proves I had the card in my possession and it was not myself that withdrew the money. Still, Chase has refused to refund my stolen {$200.00}.
