Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: I was notified of an unpaid collections of XXXX $ from XXXX dating back to XXXX XXXX for the first time in XXXX of XXXX. The person whom notified me was the broker trying to approve my home loan on the purchase of my first home. I do not have any Debt and have been a Customer who has always paid on time for Services or any other product. The day I found out about the unpaid collection, I called XXXX and paid the XXXX $ 's. The Customer Service agent was unable to tell me what the outstanding amount was for but did let me know the Collection will no longer be showing on my Credit Report at all ( Paid or Unpaid ). I found a home in XXXX of XXXX and had my broker run my Credit Score to lock in my interest rates for my home loan, the Collection was still there. From the beginning of XXXX until now ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), I have called XXXX over 30 times to get this issue resolved and off of my credit report. Their Customer Service has submitted and routed XXXX XXXX XXXX numbers incorrectly. Each Ticket # takes 30 days to process ; therefore, every new ticket # is starting my problem back to Day 1. I spoke with a colleague on my issue and he was able to give a phone number for a XXXX XXXX in which escalates your issue. On XXXX XXXX I submitted an Electronic Ticket ( XXXX # ) through this hotline in hopes of XXXX contacted the Credit Bureaus to get the Collections notice off of my Credit Report. This ticket # is listed as resolved in their Customer Service Database, XXXX informed me they contacted Experian and XXXX to take this off of my report ; however, the existing problem is not resolved. XXXX will not give me any supporting documents where they have contacted these credit agencies and they also notified me it will take up to 60 more days. After contacting XXXX Customer Service multiple times, submitting XXXX Resolution Requests, speaking with their Internal Credit Department, Billing, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and their Escalation department, I am stuck with dealing with a bad and erroneous Credit Score. Each month I will be paying XXXX $ 's more in interest on my home loan because of this. I was patient and understanding but now I am hopeless and mad. This issue should of been resolved in XXXX if it ever was an issue to begin with. Now I will be haunted with this issue every month for 30 years.

Consumer complaint received 11-02-2015 about Debt collection (Credit card) with Mitchell Rubenstein & Associates, P.C. (VA).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Threatened to take legal action

Complaint: Initially I never was contacted by Mitchell Rubenstein & Assoc. They were not the holders listed on my credit report pulled XXXX. XXXX had sold it to another company, and I had to call that company and was told my loan had been transferred to MRA. MRA never sent me a bill or any notification that they had taken over my debt or how or where to send payments. My debt was XXXX. I called MRA on XXXX/XXXX/15, and after being grilled about why I had not made any type of payment and explaining that I did not even know they had my debt, I told them I wanted to make XXXX large payments over the next 6 weeks ( XXXX pay periods ) but could not pay it all off on that day and the women I talked to was ok with that. I made the first payment through their electronic site XXXX/XXXX/15 for XXXX. They called me on XXXX/XXXX/15 to ask me why I had not made a complete payment, claiming I said I would make {$1000.00} payments, to which I had definitely not agreed. I was threatened over the phone to immediately send them {$50.00} or be in default, and I countered that I would send their {$50.00} but then would just pay them {$100.00} a month for the next year or XXXX since my paying them off in large chunks every 2 weeks was apparently too difficult for them. She backed down and said that my sending larger amounts after my payday would be " sufficient ''. I made another electronic payment on XXXX/XXXX/15 for XXXX. When I tried to make the final payment online on XXXX/XXXX/15, their payment website was not working. I called them on XXXX/XXXX/15 and then again on XXXX/XXXX/15 and XXXX/XXXX/15, all 3 times forced to leave a message ( could not get to a live person any time ) asking them to return my call ( s ) as I wanted to make the final payment but the website was not working and I needed an address to which I could mail a check. I still have not received a return call from them. I did receive a letter dated XXXX/XXXX/15 threatening legal action since I was in default. I would not have been in default if they had ever sent me written correspondence when they took over the loan ( then I would have had an address or possibly a more direct phone number ), if they had ever sent me a bill, or if they had returned any of my phone calls. I understand that companies buy loans from other companies, but do n't they have to notify people when they do that?

Consumer complaint received 01/25/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AZ).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint: I contacted XXXX about this issue, they show multiple inquiries in reference to purchases I made. eg : I purchased a car from XXXX XXXX XXXX ... ..3 inquiries hit my credit record for one purchase. This has happened on many of the items I 've purchased. So now my credit report shows 3 to 1 ratio ( inquiries I made to the ones that actually hit my credit record ) on many of the purchases I 've made. Now I ca n't get credit and my Bank ... ..XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX is reducing my credit because of these additional inquiries. I 've talked with XXXX  twice about this and they refuse to delete the additional inquiries so that they reflect what actually occurred. They said it 's not up to them? I asked : who then? They said they will drop in 3-7 years ... ... ..not acceptable as I 'm denied credit in the interim. 

There were also several inquiries made on my credit report that I did n't even recognize. They would n't do anything about them either.

XXXX and Experian were contacted because of the same issue and all 3 still report similar information in error.

I make a six figure income, have well over 750 credit score and pay my bills on-time ... .NO LATE PAYMENTS EVER ... ..yet I ca n't get credit ....

What can I do about this legally? Can CFPB help me?

Consumer complaint received 05/23/2017 about Debt collection (Medical debt) with Seattle Service Bureau, Inc (TX).
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint: On  XXXX   XXXX  I logged into  XXXX   XXXX  and it showed I had an account in collections. It showed   XXXX     XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  sent my account to a collection company with a total owed of {$140.00}. I never ever received a bill or other written notice about money owed to them.

Consumer complaint received 07/27/2016 about Prepaid card (ID prepaid card) with AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CA).
Issue: Unauthorized transactions/trans. issues

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, my Bluebird American Express account was subjected to XXXX unauthorized transactions totaling {$1200.00}. The charges took place at XXXX XXXX XXXX, North Carolina -- a state I have NEVER been to. I live and was in XXXX XXXX at this time. The physical card was in my possession and I have never supplied my card number to another person. Therefore I believe I was the victim of card skimming. 

I noticed the charges that afternoon ( XXXX XXXX ) and immediately notified Account Protection Services. My existing card was cancelled and a replacement was issued to me. I called back on XXXX XXXX once the XXXX charges had cleared in order to file and begin the dispute process. I followed proper protocol as outlined by American Express and supplied all information that was requested for the investigation. On XXXX XXXX, I received an email notification that my dispute had been declined along with another email that my account had been permanently closed ( blocking my access to over {$1500.00} in funds ). I filed a police report the same day, faxed a copy to Account Protection Services, and called to request that the dispute be re-opened. I was told the investigation was complete, case was closed, could not and would not be re-opened. A supervisor, XXXX, suggested that I contact XXXX directly to dispute the transactions and request reimbursement. On a subsequent call XXXX XXXX, I spoke with XXXX again and demanded details of the investigation, which I 'm entitled to as a cardholder. I was told affirmatively that no information would or could be provided to me and the decision was final, and the call was terminated by XXXX. On my last call to American Express XXXX XXXX, a customer service rep said that I could a letter in writing to their XXXX to request details of the investigation and request my dispute be re-opened. I sent this letter via certified mail on XXXX XXXX, along with a copy of my police report, declaration of fraud form, call records and photo evidence of my location in XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX. As of XXXX XXXX, no response has been received. This is a blatant disregard of my rights as a cardholder, as outlined in Regulation E of the Electronic Fund Transfer Act.

Consumer complaint received 05-04-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with GREAT LAKES (FL).
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 student loans and they were defaulted because of a car wreck I was in. My family and I were   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  , resulting in  a death of a family m ember.     Upon getting my life back together, I completed t he rehabilitation     program and pai d 9 consecutive payments on time for 9 mont hs. As a result, these loans are suppose to be reported on my credit as back in good standing and remove the negative marks. There are  XXXX  loans that have yet to be cleared from my credit as promised. And these are reported by different servicing agencies because they sell them and pass them around so it looks like there are more loans than there actually is and my negative accounts number are  3 times  as many I have called for months and never able to get answers or someone to help me. I will do whatever it takes to get this done. I have completed the program and this business did not do as they stated. it is a scam.     I will be consulting an attorney and reaching out to media outlets if this is not fixed..

Issue: Taking/threatening an illegal action
Sub-issue: Sued w/o proper notification of suit

Complaint: I obtain a XXXX XXXX from Continental Finance XXXX, making my monthly payments on time, even got an increase of credit. Well in late 2013 i received notice the current credit card was being transferred to a XXXX card and they will send notice when the new card has been sent out. I continued to make my monthly payment on time, during the months of XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX i called XXXX in concern because i had not received the new card, i was told due to the Holidays the delivery of the card maybe delayed XXXX XXXX XXXX. When i spoke to the individual in XXXX, i could not make any payments as the account showed the balance as zero, i called in again to make the payment and they wanted to charge me a phone fee, so i we went back in front on how i do n't see as a customer who has n't received the new card to set-up the online account to make a payment should pay a phone fee. The individual got rude so i hung up. No communication from this company but today i receive a voice mail from a male stating he was on his way to my home and if i was n't in he would be traveling to my place of employment to serve me papers. He left a number and a case # but no information as to what this was in regards to. I called the number left XXXX XXXX XXXX, the gentlemen who i spoke with stated they were suing me for {$1900.00} on a so called {$580.00} balance ( which the balance should have been around {$350.00} from the last time i made a payment ) stated, XXXX had written off and sold the account to them. I have never received any communication from XXXX or this collections company so how can they immediately sue for something that XXXX was negligent in not providing the new card or account information for me to continue to make payments? Please review and help on this matter.

Consumer complaint received 09/28/2016 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION (MD).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: I purchased XXXX Toyota Truck on XX/XX/XXXX. i finance my vehicle from Toyota Financial services. my regular monthly payment $ {$620.00}. I was paying my monthly payment regularly. I do have documents. I made a future payment with Toyota financial on XX/XX/XXXX. Toyota financial took XX/XX/XXXX payment and future payments until XX/XX/XXXX. They withdraw {$2500.00}. After they withdrew this amount i called customer service. they did not return excess amount of payment. They said they send check to me which they did not. After calling and discuss with my account they send me amount of {$620.00}. i deposit this check and this check returned. My bank charged to my account {$35.00} return deposit fee. Also I got called from Toyota financial service customer service, get humiliated by them. They told me that they will repossess my vehicle. I could not resolve my issues or get any help from them. I asked them please send me ledger of account and checks that they send me. they said they can not provide proof of check they send me. Additional of everything they made my credit rating low. This is a very bad practice. Their system shows wrong amount of mature date payments. For example ; your loan payment due date of XXXX of every month. if you made a payment on XXXX which next day of original payment date ; they will collect from your account future payment ( which not is not due ) together with current month payment without your knowledge. If you have any questions or proof of payment please do not hesitate to contact with me.

Consumer complaint received 09-08-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Other personal consumer report) with EQUIFAX, INC. (CA).
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing issue
Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint: As of XXXX XXXX, 2017, the public was notified by Equifax of a massive data breach of over 143 Million records, including SSN, credit history, and many other sensitive matters. Equifax has provided a toll-free number for assistance ( that either does n't answer, puts you on perpetual hold, or connects you to a person who can not tell you if you are affected, or not. Equifax also has provided a website to allow a person to ( 1 ) identify if they are part of the data breach and ( 2 ) optionally enroll in a free 1-year subscription to XXXX to track credit activity. Following the information request process on the website does NOT tell me whether I was affected or not -- it just skips that point entirely. And the enrollment is delayed until X/XX/2017. News services describing this event have also complained of a hidden feature of this service that may prohibit class action lawsuit and force subscriber into arbitration instead ( I would have to mail in a letter within first 30 days of sign-up, to void the mandatory arbitration clause ). This is a horrible response to their problem that was detected over 3 months ago, but made public only yesterday.
