Consumer complaint received 08/24/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Ditech Financial LLC (MS).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Ditech, my mortgage provider went through a system upgrade in XXXX 2016 ( according to them ). I currently make biweekly payments on my mortgage, almost twice the amount of the standard payment. Due to technical issues, the system is no longer able to post biweekly payments. This is now resulting in showing over {$7000.00} of unapplied payments, but the mortgage now shows past due since XXXX XXXX, 2016. I did contact the provider by email and by phone several times. They have assured me the are reviewing the account. Beside a simple acknowledgement that they received my complaint and are reviewing this ( without any results as of XXXX/XXXX/16 ), they have never proactively reached out to me as to provide any status update. They are however reaching out with never ending collection calls and letter. If it was any other service, as a consumer, it would have swapped providers. However with a mortgage that is not such a simple task. It has been over 8 weeks with no results ( and I 'm sure I 'm not the only one ). I understand system issues, but it is inconceivable to me that not a single individual within the company can review my account and make the necessary corrections. I have no faith in the process, nor would I ever know if after the corrections the remaining balance would be correct ( depending on how payments are posted ).

Consumer complaint received 07/28/2016 about Debt collection (Medical) with Retrieval-Masters Creditors Bureau, Inc. (AZ).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Used obscene/profane/abusive language

Complaint: I received a call about a week ago regarding a bill from XXXX that I truly believe was taken care of months ago. I requested a validation of the debt because of this and the collector refused. I continued to ask for validation and why he could n't provide it. He became very heated and argumentative at which point I ended the call as I was not going to tolerate the yelling. 

He immediately called me back and said " our call must have been disconnected '', which clearly was not the case. He continued to be loud and argumentative. He then indicated that he was marking my account as refusal to pay ( even though I have not refused to pay ). I told him to do what he felt he needed to do, but since this was n't the case I needed to speak to a supervisor. 

This supervisor was made aware of the issue and that there was at least XXXX FDCPA violation. He indicated he was going to review the call recordings, speak with quality assurance and take the proper steps to rectify the situation as well as request a validation of the debt. He was to get back with me regarding the situation, but no call or letter was received to this effect. 

Fast forward to today, I get a call from another bill collector ( same company ) and he indicates there are no notes about this previous call having issues, no request for quality assurance to review and no indication that I made claims of FDCPA violations. I request to speak to his supervisor to verify this information and I spoke with XXXX who was very nice, but did indicate the only thing notated was that i requested a bill from them. He indicated he was going to take action on this, but still tried to collect the balance on the bill. I know they need to ask, I worked in collections for 10 years. It just seemed slightly inappropriate given the circumstances of why I was speaking with him. 

Thinking further, they also did not do anything to truly verify I was who they were looking for. Granted my name is quite uncommon, they just asked if I was so-and-so and did not request I verify an address or date of birth or anything of that nature.

Consumer complaint received 11/24/2015 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC (GA).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint: While my son was a student at XXXX University ( XXXX, GA ) from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, he took out XXXX Private student loans to help finance his education. These loans originated with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. and I am listed as the co-signer. Since entering into these original student loan agreements, these loans have been transferred/sold multiple times to various depositors/collectors seeking payment. XX/XX/XXXX, we received correspondence from XXXX - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( at the address of a relative where neither of us has ever resided ) requesting full payment of these loans. After learning of this correspondence, we immediately contacted this entity disputing that we had any type of loan agreement or arrangement with them and asked for the supporting documentation to substantiate their claim. At this time we provided them with our current address and telephone number ( which is the still same in present day ) as a means of contacting us with the requested information. To date we have yet to receive a reply from this entity. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I was served with a court summons where I am listed as the defendant in a civil court case ( lawsuit ) where National Student Loan Collegiate Trust XXXX is the plantiff seeking full payment for one of the previously mentioned student loan agreements. Upon further review of the court documents, I learned that this civil court case was opened XX/XX/XXXX with the documentation initially being served to an address that is not my current one, a different address from where the correspondence we initially responded to was sent. Upon asking for the requested information from the loan depositor/collector, we were then served with a lawsuit, a lawsuit from an organization that currently does not have any agreement in place with us as they have sold this loan ( investment vehicle ) multiple times themselves. In addition to this civil case, I have since learned that a total of XXXX civil court cases ( XXXX for each of the student loan agreements ) has been opened although only one has been officially served. The plantiffs in these other cases are National Collegiate Student Loan Trust XXXX and National Collegiate Student Loan Trust XXXX respectively.

Consumer complaint received 05/19/2015 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Pinnacle Credit Services, LLC (GA).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX I opened an account with XXXX wireless service, with XXXX phone lines. The second account # XXXX was charged off and closed in XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint: I have initiated several disputes with this credit bureau in regards to fraud on my credit report.

Consumer complaint received 05-02-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX).
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 sent numerous requests to experian to provide proof of verification of     XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX    account that is being reported on my credit. Under the FCRA  Act,  the bureau 's are responsible for keeping this documentation on file. Under the FCRA, experian has to verify the account with the original documentation in order to comply with the " right to report '' and FCRA laws. If the original documentation is not provided, the company must delete the account. Under the FCRA, Experian must provide a copy of the verifiable original creditor documentation if it is requested properly by the cosumer. Since Experian can not provide proof of verification to me in the form of a physical contract document per this request and the handwritten request that is uploaded to this file, the account is classified as " unverified '' and under the FCRA, all unverified accounts must be deleted. I would also like to note that experian comes back with they have " verified '' the debt but never provided written proof. If they never received written proof, then the numerous times they have come back with a supposed " verification '' is a complete lie and breaking the law.  Either  show me documentation in its original form for the     XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX    account or remove it from my credit report. I have also uploaded my driver 's licnese and paystub with the last  XXXX  of my socail that matches my credit report,  XXXX .

Consumer complaint received 06/30/2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with Ditech Financial LLC (CA).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: I am trying to inquire with Ditech - " XXXX XXXX '' about how they are calculating my monthly payments which will change - adjust on XX/XX/XXXX. I have calculated the amount myself and with other mortgage companies. they are charging me {$1200.00}, and I have calculated a mortgage with {$1100.00} for a rate of 4.0 % {$190000.00}, - which is almost {$500.00} dollars more than what the loan amount will be at the time of the adjusted rate from 3.5 to the new rate of 4.0 %. So, my monthly P and I should be lower than both. Clearly they are overcharging me. I have called, and been hung up on after having a rep put me on hold for 20 minutes twice, and then she hung up at XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I am about to get legal counsel, and form a class act as I can see I am not the only XXXX with this problem. I have called again, they will not transfer me to a supervisor, unless and continue to give my own personal information, of which has not helped in the past. I have asked XXXX XXXX, supervisors XXXX , to give me one good reason, why I should give my personal info any further, as I am personally now invested in protecting my own security, since they have been fraudulent, and not trustworthy. They have no answers for me, but please " hold '', " Bear with me '', and " im working on it. '' They also state I must give more personal info to talk with a supervisor. Please advise, as I will be consulting with my attorneys next week. <P/>Thanks. <P/>Ps. this is by far not the first horrible experience I have had with this company, and am looking forward to a Class Action Law Suit.

Consumer complaint received 06/25/2015 about Money transfers (Domestic (US) money transfer) with PAYPAL HOLDINGS INC. (CA).
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint: I signed up for a free Paypal account and nowhere did I enter my social security number or any portion thereof. I logged in the next morning to see Paypal had the last XXXX digits of my social security number ( hereto referred to as " SSN '' ) and that I had a credit line. I was alarmed and called Paypal to ask how they had my SSN, without me ever entering it, and was told they obtain it through my name, date of birth and street address. I was taken aback and asked about the credit line, to which I was told I signed up for PayPal Credit. No worries, she said, it was a soft pull and they could close it. I closed the credit line due to never signing up for it and closed my Paypal account due to them obtaining my SSN without my knowledge or consent. I had a feeling I was lied to and it was a hard pull so I checked and sure enough, it was a hard pull on my XXXX report. I disputed the pull with XXXX and was denied because Paypal insists it was a factual pull. Per their request, I sent it a form asking Paypal to remove the pull and they refused - over and over again. Not XXXX single customer service rep expressed concern or surprise. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 the CFPB issued a complaint against Paypal for this very problem. With this as my proof they were in fact signing people up for Paypal Credit without their knowledge or consent, I again asked for them to remove the hard pull from my XXXX report. They again refused and asked me to forward the request to their Executive Escalations Team, to which I have not received any updates or response. 

Paypal signed me up for Paypal Credit, I did NOT apply for this service. I did NOT see anything informing me I was signing up for credit, when I signed up for regular Paypal. Their practices are deceptive and illegal. XXXX confirmed Paypal only used my name, date of birth and street address to do the unauthorized hard pull. I want the hard pull removed from my credit report.
