Consumer complaint received 09/26/2015 about Debt collection (Credit card) with United Collection Bureau, Inc. (LA).
Issue: Improper contact or sharing of info
Sub-issue: Talked to a third party about my debt

Complaint: XXXX XXXX of United Collections Bureau called my ex husband and revealed that she was trying to reach me about a debt collection. I believe this practice is illegal. My private financial information should not be disclosed to others. especially my ex husband. He is the reason I am in debt. I have been in protracted legal battle over a financial settlement, and he is a lawyer. He has used the system to drag this out and forced me in debt in an effort to make me accept a bad settlement. You have not helped by disclosing this to him. Companies should not call other people in an effort to collect debt. By telling him who she worked for she was telling him I am in collections for debt. This type of tactics should be stopped! 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 05-06-2016 about Credit card () with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (MN).
Issue: Closing/Cancelling account

Complaint: Last year, I applied for and was given a credit-card by Capital One. Under their rules, a starter account is opened in the amount of {$300.00}, and then, per their rules, if you make 5 consequitive on time payments, they raise your credit limit to {$500.00}. I reached that level. In XXXX, I filed a chapter XXXX bankruptcy, and they ( Capital One ) closed my account even though I DID NOT INCLUDE THEM IN THE BANKXXXX! My payments were always on time, and when I last looked, I had a balance of about {$120.00}, which I tried to pay, but was locked out of the account. I have written two letters to them, and I get no response. I offered that if they issued a card again with either the {$500.00} or {$300.00} credit line, minus what I owed, I would pay it upon receipt. I had no intention of trying to get out of paying them, my intent was to start rebuiding my credit. I did not deserve to have my credit yanked for no reason. I never missed a payment, my payments were on time, sometimes before they were due, and I usually paid more than the amount due. They do not respond, they offer no relief or options, much less an apology for closing an account that was not delinquent. Recently! I applied for another one of their starter cards, and was denied, with the response being I did or do owe them money! I owe them about {$120.00}, and had they kept the account open, it would have been paid. This is blantantly misleading and wrong for them to not allow me to have the card, and secondly, since I did not include them, I should have been allowed to pay what I owed. I do not have the account no anymore, they can look me up by my social XXXX

Consumer complaint received 02-08-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with Fay Servicing, LLC (FL).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: My loan that was initiated with XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, and was serviced by XXXX. Due to family hardship, at the end of XXXX I fell behind on my payments for few months. After applying for a modification plan and being finally approved for a modification with specific trial amounts, my loan was sold few days later and transferred in XXXX XXXX by XXXX to a new servicer /Fay Servicing LLC . Right away, I made contact with Fay Servicing to start making those payments. Fay Servicing asked me to re-apply and re-submit all the documentation in order for my loan to be considered for a possible modification by the new owner -XXXX . The old modification approval from XXXX was void. However, they agreed to take payments from me every month from the moment my loan was transferred to them, while my file was reviewed for a possible modification plan.The review was extensive. They kept asking for documentation that I previously sent or new documentation, denied me for missing documents that I already provided but got lost and asked me to reapply again ... The way Fay Servicing has been applying my payments and extra payments to XXXX loan and escrow was very ambiguous and hard for me to understand on my statements. When I reached out to Fay Servicing to help me understand the customer service was able to only take my monthly payments but for issues they referred me to the account manager as the only person that I can discuss my account. The account manager was always very hard to get hold of when I was available, intentionally calling me back when I was at work and not able to respond and discuss. For many months, he denied me access to view my loan online because my loan was not up to date and he would not follow with any of my concerns. Eventually in XXXX my financial situation improved with my husband finding a job and I was able to bring my payments up to date. At the end of XXXX I called the account manager and informed him that I was refinancing my loan with another institution and asked him if there are any additional fees that I should be aware of besides the loan balance. After checking my account, he said no. The payoff included a charge of {$430.00} called corporate advance that I was never made me aware of. When I called and asked for details on it, the account manager said that it is related to foreclosure process they started even thou they accepted my payments every last day of each month, never missing one month since I was transferred to them from XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 03/29/2017 about Consumer Loan (Title loan) with TMX Finance LLC (MD).
Issue: Charged fees or interest I didn't expect

Complaint: Date of {$1700.00} Loan XX/XX/2017 Today, I called XXXX at the XXXX , Va. location to confirm my payoff amount of {$790.00}. However, XXXX stated a payoff amount of {$1100.00} ( as of today ) ... ..plus an additional $ XXXX in interest. These amounts I dispute. My payments are as follows : XXXX Money orders dated XX/XX/2017 XXXX for {$500.00} & XXXX for {$150.00} totaling {$650.00}. 
XXXX Money orders dated XX/XX/2017 XXXX for {$150.00} & XXXX for {$100.00}. 
XXXX Money order dated XX/XX/2017 for {$35.00}. 

Total payments as of today, {$940.00} on a {$1700.00} loan..but still owe over {$1100.00}. 

The agreement indicates ... .. " Prepayments. You may prepay in whole or part at any time the amount due under this loan agreement and will not incur any additional charges, fee or penalty. However, we will refund the finance charges we have earned if at any time prior to close of business on thr business day immediately following the date of this loan agreement, you prepay to us in cash the amount financed ( principal ) in full satisfaction of your obligations under this loan agreement. '' It is not my fault their payment machine was down so I had to mail payment in therefore processing was delayed resulting in additional charges, penalities and fees. 

So far, based on their calculations, I have paid {$330.00} in interest.

Consumer complaint received 03/30/2017 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (MI).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: In late XX/XX/2017 a checking account was opened with Fifth Third bank and {$100.00} deposited in via ACH transaction from one of my other accounts. 
My Michigan Drivers License was provided along with my home address I registered for online access and provided a user ID and password. 
This information was auto saved on my computer for easier access. 
A about a week after opening the account I was unable to sign on. Therefore I called and reached the security or fraud dept. 
The male representative said I needed to answer questions to verify my identity. I was asked 6 questions about my past ; example, previous address, mortgage info etc.. All the questions were answered CORRECTLY. I was impatient with the representative due to his tone and I believe as a result the representative retaliated by refusing to take the restriction off although I did correctly answer all the security questions. 
As a result, I had to cancel large deposits to cover payments which ultimately bounced. However, with my account restricted and being unable to get to a branch ( work takes me out of state 4 days a week ) There did n't seem like much i could do. 
For the representative to question my identity is absolutely insane and reckless. My information matches information on all my credit reports and with my drivers license and the fact mail has been received by me at my address ( see attachments ) this representative was simply retaliating and I refuse to allow that.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) has reported to the credit bureaus that my account is 30 days past due when it is not, nor has it ever been delinquent. I called the customer service number on my latest statement to speak with an agent who confirmed that my account was current. He could not figure it out and sought the help of a supervisor who could not figure out why I was reported delinquent to the bureaus either. 
I have attached the previous three months XXXX credit card statements for year 2017 : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ; you will see that NONE indicate any past due amounts or fees. Additionally, I have attached the previous three bank statements showing the CFNA payment debits.
Thank you.

Consumer complaint received 10/29/2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with Moria Development, Inc. (TX).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: We were contacted by an agent from Moria Development DBA Peoples Mortgage, and gave false information about a loan product, specifically a XXXX loan. The agent expressed that she was an experienced loan officer and knew what she was doing. She screwed up our loan process because she waited until the week of closing to tell us that she did not know how to process a XXXX loan. She made me pay for an appraisal for the property, as well as a XXXX consultant, and she did not know what she was doing. There was false advertisement, lies during the process, and she was the cause of us missing out on a great home as a first time home buyer. XXXX XXXX of Peoples Mortgage who is Moria Development , Inc. should be held responsible for her falsely representing products.

Consumer complaint received 10/26/2015 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (TX).
Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX my identity was stolen and used to open XXXX different in store credit cards in a different state then where I live. XXXX of which was with Macy 's. When I became aware of the identity theft I took appropriate actions to have all of the accounts reported and closed as fraudulent. Macy 's is the only XXXX of the XXXX that is still an issue. Since XX/XX/XXXX I have filed a police report and supplied statement of fraud to Macy 's. I am still receiving credit card statements from Macy 's and have called them on numerous occasions trying to resolve this. The statement of fraud was sent on XXXX XXXX via fax and I received a letter from Macy 's dated XXXX XXXX that the claim would be resolved within 60 days. Since then I have received XXXX statements and a collections notice on the account. When I call customer service at Macy 's the first operator always tells me to just pay the bill. I did not open the account nor gain anything from the items that were purchased on the account. I do not owe anything to Macy 's. I received another credit card statement last week and called Macy 's today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) to try to resolve the issue again. Again the first operator told me that I had to pay the account. I spoke to the fraud department that had no record of my issues with this fraudulent account. I was directed to the recovery department which told me they could do nothing because the account was open. I closed the account back in XX/XX/XXXX but since then Macy 's reopened it without me knowing or notifying me. The recovery department referred me back to the fraud department. I called the fraud department back where I was made aware that the account was still open. They said that the 'system ' changed sometime and that nothing was showing on my account about the fraud and my submission of the settlement of fraud. I spoke to at least XXXX people today who were constantly pointing fingers at another department. I am still floored that an operator would tell me that I have to pay it AND that Macy 's sent the account to collections before it was even 30 days due. As of now the issue is still not resolved.

Consumer complaint received 11-03-2015 about Debt collection (Payday loan) with Mobiloans, LLC (IN).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Called after sent written cease of comm

Complaint: I notified them right away that I could n't make the payments right now because of the enormous fees. I spoke to them on the phone to customer service first, letting them know they could call or email me but could not call my employer. They still called my employer daily. I sent them an email to stop calling my employer, they still called daily. I faxed them a statement, referring to this website that they must stop calling my employer at XXXX. I told them in the fax that they could continue to call my cell or email me, both of which they have. But they keep calling my employer daily, sometimes more than once. I can not get personal calls of any kind at work. I just want them to stop calling my work number. I do have supporting documentation but I do n't have it on me at this moment that I 'm submitting this.

Consumer complaint received 12/13/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MA).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint: I have tried to contact XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding this fraudulent account to no avail. I have been under the impression that this fraudulent credit card account ( opened by my mother in XXXX XXXX without my knowledge or consent since she has access to my social security number ) would be totally removed from my credit report since I had nothing to do with this credit card account. The credit card maximum is {$5000.00} which she has maxed out. I am a XXXX in college just starting to get started in the world of credit and I do not have a good relationship with my mother. I just want this to end now. 

I have filled out an FTC Identity Theft Report on XXXX XXXX and have mailed a follow up letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX on that same day and have received no response. I also contacted XXXX via a letter for them to correct my credit report. I received the ' '' corrected '' credit report today in the mail ( XXXX XXXX ) which still has the XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card account on it. While it does say that the account has been closed, it says that the account will appear on my report for two years. What is the reasoning behind this fraudulent account staying on my credit report for two additional years? 

I have been trying to get answers and trying to get this fraudulent information off of my credit report from XXXX XXXX when I first contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX. 3 months now! When I spoke to the representative from XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, the woman said that the credit card was opened with a birthday that was not mine. What kind of system is this where someone can just open a credit card with the wrong birthday? My patience is running thin. I am a college student and having to deal with all this nonsense during my exams and finals period is extremely unfair. I demand answers.
