Consumer complaint received 04/29/2015 about Debt collection (Medical) with Montgomery County Credit Bureau (TX).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: This collection agency got my medical information and should n't have. I signed statements on this account they have on file that the account was n't mine. 
They have continuously called various relatives and non relatives telling them that I am going to be held in contempt of court for not contacting them about the disputed bills. Just today, they called my aging mother, my son, and my ex-husband 's wife (? ) saying that I was going to get arrested if I did n't get in contact with them immediately. I spent my entire lunch hour assuring the people that I love that nothing was going to happen to me. 

This company is very scary and has the tact of an ape. They call at all hours of the day and night. They XXXX called my old job and did n't stop calling till I told them XXXX times that I would get fired for taking their calls at work. 

I have denied owing money to them for years and have told them repeatedly to stop calling me and my family, friends, and place of employment. 

I feel that they were given my medical information in error. No collection agency should have been given my medical financial information. 

This company has filed an account on my credit report, even though I disputed this account, yet it stayed on my record and they continue to harass me every day.

Consumer complaint received 03/29/2018 about Vehicle loan or lease (Loan) with ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (TX).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Billing problem

Complaint: My car ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) damaged during hurricane Harvey. My car insurance is with XXXX. XXXX appraised my vehicle at {$16000.00} at the time. I received the car loan from ALLY Financial. They paid Ally Financial {$16000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX my gap insurance called ALLY Financial on the remaining balance which was {$3500.00}. My Gap insurance paid ALLY Financial {$3500.00}. XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX I received a bill from ALLY Financial of {$1300.00}. I called at XXXX and talked to customer service and ask why do I have a balance. Ally Financial informed me that they were charging me between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX because my gap insurance took about three months to pay the remaining. I informed them it was paid in full regardless of how long it took my gap insurance to pay them. Maybe they should charge me late fees but they were requesting three months of full payments. I was paying about {$420.00} a month before Harvey. They told me that is how loans are and they gave me no help and keep hanging the phone on me when I tried to discuss this situation. I need help because it is unfair and that is why I'm reporting this because I do not want this on my credit report and other customers should not go through this ordeal.

I have taken out a payday loan in the past, but I 'm pretty sure that it was paid.

Consumer complaint received 12-02-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (VA).
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Complaint: Hello, Im XXXX XXXX and Im having issues with American Express. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I noticed fraud on my credit card. I contacted American Express to report the fraud of XXXX and the started their investigation. About XXXX weeks later I received a check and letter for XXXX and they said theyve investigated the fraud and they refunded me with a check for the full amount. 

Well one year later they said my soon to be ex wife contacted American Express saying the charges were valid which I find funny because she received half of the money. 

My wife did this just to get back at me knowing the card was in my name and it would go on my credit. Because of the fraud I got a new card and stopped using American Express because of the fraud. 

I read online that American Express has 90 days or two billing cycles to resolve the issue or remove it. Well they did resolve it with the check they sent me in XXXX of XXXX and all the fraud was resolved on that date. 

Im hoping you can help me with this because being XXXX I feel there not following the law and theyre taking advantage of me. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 06-04-2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with AES/PHEAA (NY).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint: I am currently on the PAYE ( Pay as you Earn ) Plan through FedLoan Servicing ( PHEAA ). I was emailed information to recertify my plan and began the steps to do that. A few days after submitting my materials, I received an email that my application was incomplete ( received email on XXXX ). That same day I received an email that I had a direct debit payment of almost twice my normal payment scheduled to come out on XXXX. I immediately went to the website to see what was going on. On my main page it was listed that my payment due on XXXX was {$0.00}, but that a direct debit for {$180.00} was scheduled to be taken out. I had never scheduled more than {$100.00}. As I was on the website, I kept running into errors and it kept booting me off. I went through my paperless inbox, where I received yet again DIFFERENT information ( that a payment of {$160.00} would be taken out on XXXX/XXXX/17 ). I called up the customer service hotline and spoke with a representative that same day because I was getting frustrated and worried about the security of my information on their website. The customer service representative tried to be helpful and recommended we suspend the next direct debit, even though she believed it was just a technical glitch on the website and that money would not be withdrawn from my account. She told me that they were having a lot of technical issues on their website and did n't know what else to do, she was sorry for the inconvenience, etc, but that they had a lot of problems. She also reassured me that my application for recertification was complete. At the end of our conversation she assured me I would receive an email specifying that my direct debit suspension had gone through within 2 days, and another email that my recertification was processed before the XXXX. Today ( XXXX ) I had still not received confirmation and so I went onto the website yet again. This time, I was slated to have a {$100.00} direct debit on XXXX. Yet again, while trying to navigate their portal, I encountered several errors and was booted 4 times within 15 minutes. I was finally able to cancel the direct debit through the site and received an email seconds later confirming.

All credit bureaus ( XXXX ) received the automatic update ( AUD ) as XXXX XXXX informed me via one of many telephone conversations.
