I have now gone to court by they will not open as they no longer had jurisdiction since my conviction, an deal, sincel XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I went to DA office they said they did not place the collections order and the warrant was removed. However there is no record that they were suppose to due of any of the motions, as it is handled by them and not the court. They not only also had no jurisdiction since XX/XX/XXXX, but the XXXX was a formal motion to dismiss all there claims. I have asked them to put a warrant back, so that we can go to court and they said they can not. Thus showing they have no authority and any fines and restitution were covered in my deal of XXXX XXXX, XXXX. It totaled {$700.00} and was paid years back while I was serving my sentence. This also shows if they had legal ability to any claims it would have been placed while I was serving my sentence. They suggested to go back to Public Defender for help. I did and since the file was closed in XX/XX/XXXX, and the courts, including DA no longer had jurisdiction since XX/XX/XXXX that they can not open any court days for me to address with the courts and the DA. I ask first who is the one who filed the collection. Again court and DA office said it was n't them. Second for them to show that they have they legal right to place that in my report.

Consumer complaint received 03/30/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing Corporation (IL).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I was approved by my mortgage company for the HAFA Program ( Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternative Option ) and entered into an agreement with RoundPoint Mortgage Service Company to transfer my property to them by doing a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure on XXXX XXXX, 2015. Part of the agreement was they would waive the deficiency Amount outstanding. At which point RoundPoint would then issue me a XXXX after everything was completed at the end of the year ( 2015 ). To date I still have not received the XXXX even after repeated phone calls and requests made to them. Instead they inaccurately issued me the wrong form a ( XXXX ) and now refuse to correct it, because the representatives are confused and they continue to say it 's a foreclosure even when all of their own documents show that it 's a deed-in-lieu. At this point I do n't know what to do and how to get this situation resolved with them, because for me to accurately and correctly report the deed in lieu on my own 2015 XXXX Tax Return, which would be the correct year, I need them to send me a XXXX form, but they still refuse to do so no matter how many times I 've called and tried to explain it to them. So I 've attached supporting documentation to verify my position and request.

Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX, opened share savings account and given membership number XXXX, and in XX/XX/XXXX, opened limited checking account. Someone hacked into my XXXX account and attempted to make purchases with my registered accounts in the XXXX system. With very limited funds in the mentioned accounts, of course, PenFed rejected these debits from the account. However, after multiple attempts/returns to the account, this Credit Union has assessed at least {$700.00} in bank fees. On XX/XX/XXXX, sent an e-mail on the consumer website through " contact us '' advising them of the issue and to reverse the charges. As of this writing, they have ignored my e-mail and have been negligent in noticing/contacting the member about these suspicious transactions on a new account. They should be investigated for the numerous erroneous fees that most likely are charged to the members of this Credit Union.

Consumer complaint received 03-02-2017 about Credit reporting () with QUICKEN LOANS, INC. (CA).
Issue: Improper use of my credit report
Sub-issue: Report improperly shared by CRC

Complaint: on or about XX/XX/XXXX I was trying to refinance my home. My mortgage was currently held by Quicken loans. I called the XXXX business office and was referred to their Arizona office. In the meantime I searched reviews on my pc about Arizona Quicken loans and they were negative so I declined to do business with them. I was receiving calls from Arizona and XXXX offices and declined to do any business. I then went to my bank and inquired about refinancing my home. When they checked my score I was told that there was high rate of hard inquires ( 6 ) from Quicken for one month. That lowered my score. Recently ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I was attempting to refinance with my current mortgage holder XXXX and they contacted me expressing that they wanted to keep servicing my loan. I am refinancing with another company and received from XXXX a packet for mortgage loan. I feel that XXXX contacted the credit companies as Quiken has without my authorization. Can you please help me with this problem

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: I purchased a computer through Conn 's utilizing Conn 's credit. I purchased on a Saturday and delivery of the device was made the following Tuesday.

Consumer complaint received 03/21/2016 about Debt collection (Credit card) with Gatestone & Co. International Inc. (NY).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: I received a call from a company called Gatestone. I initially ignored the call because I had no debt but decided to call them back the second time. They asked for my current address and prior address ( since I just moved ) which did not match their records and last XXXX digit of my SSN ( which they asked for and which I should not have given ). They then said it was for an XXXX CC I was a secondary for but I told them that I am not a secondary for any credit card or loan. They gave me the last XXXX digits of the supposed card and I confirmed with them I had no such account. They said they will then delete the my contact details ( work and cell numbers - which they used to call me ) from the account. I called them back because I decided to call XXXX and I did not recall the last XXXX digits of the account they said I had. I was able to talk to the agent assigned to my case and he provided the last XXXX digits. Note, that I had no issues calling this company and getting someone on the phone in the two instances I called them. 

I called XXXX and they confirmed that I have no account ending with the XXXX digits in all my current and prior accounts with them and that they do not work with such debt collection company. They also said that they call their customers directly about unpaid balances and do not go straight to a collection agency. 

I tried to call the company back and let them know about my conversation with XXXX and suddenly unlike prior instances, my call went into voicemail for the " XXXX XXXX Department ''. This never happened in the two other times I called them and I called during office hours. I left a voicemail anyway indicating that I have talked to XXXX. Now, I am worried because they have my cell, work numbers, my current address and last XXXX digits of my SSN and I am now wondering if they created this phantom debt or bogus account digits for a debt supposedly I have to get personal information.

Consumer complaint received 12/21/2015 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (MA).
Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting my free annual report

Complaint: For many years I have been trying to gain access to my credit report, and to suspend my credit freeze so loan companies could gain access to my credit file. I have found, without exception across XXXX Equifax , that I can not release a freeze temporarily. There is no possible way to get a phone number where humans answer and can assist ; there is no web site that does n't send me into limbo, listing irrelevant answers to their canned questions, and then saying they can not help me without mailing in a request, which makes it impossible to get a loan. When I attempted to get a copy of my credit report via mail, they refuse to provide it listing insane requests for irrelevant information after weeks of waiting - all three did something similar in response to my request via mail for my free credit reports. This is ridiculous. 

Your system here does not allow me to complain about the wide-ranging nuisance these companies are being allowed to impose upon consumers that just want them to do what they are supposedly requred to do by law. Obviously these bureaus have deliberately developed systems and processes that avoid equitable compliance with the law and are being allowed to get away with it by acting in complicity, with all three not complying.
