Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I entered in Bankruptcy Ch XXXX. 
In XXXX I looked into my credit after being refused a job based on my credit report and found that 1 account was still showing as a collection, and was also updating the amount with added interest. I disputed this with XXXX  and they deleted it because it was being reported incorrectly. I have disputed this account 6 times including 1 reinvestigation, the next and last dispute included the paperwork from my bankruptcy attorney as proof to them and within 1 week I was told again that I was wrong. I understand the 30 days to respond but they do not seem to take the time or willpower to actually report this account correctly. This collection along with bankruptcy has cost me in high insurance payments and the ability to obtain employment.

Company: ERC
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
My complaint is in regards to an erroneous collections account with Enhanced Recovery opened against me by XXXX in 2015. 

I never received notification of the collection account being opened, and when learning of it ~8 weeks ago after having my credit pulled for a home loan I contacted XXXX Support. They discovered the account was opened in error and had the balance ( about {$80.00} ) on the account set to {$0.00}. However the collections account still shows on my credit report as " Paid in Full '' even though I never paid ( XXXX had the balance canceled ) - I simply needed the account deleted as it is impacting my credit and my ability to close on a mortgage. 

I was told by XXXX support that I would receive written acknowledgment of the account closure, but this never came. I have attempted to get acknowledgment again but have been told that now that the account is closed there is nothing that can be provided, either in email or physical form.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is regarding Shellpoint Mortgage Servicers. In 2017, my loan was transferred to another lender away from Shellpoint and Shellpoint refuses to update the " Payment Status '' of this account from " 120 day past due '' to " Account Sold or Transferred to another Lender ''. The account is NOT 120 past due or delinquent, as Shellpoint is no longer the holder of this account. This account should reflect as paid with XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. I have placed a call into Shellpoint about this issue and spoke with Customer Service who confirmed that she was sending an email to a Shellpoint Supervisor to request for this information to be updated on my credit report. This was not done as promised. Hence, I am filing a complaint. I have disputed the information with the 3 credit bureaus and the results came back VERIFIED, which is incorrect. I'd like written proof of what the verification process was to verify that this account status was correct. This account needs to updated accurately or removed from my credit profile immediately. Thank you.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Credit Counsel, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I had a repair performed on my vehicle at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/18 and had a balance due of {$830.00} for this work. I was not aware of the balance, since I never received an invoice from XXXX. I became aware after receiving a debt collection notice from XXXX XXXX at Credit Counsel Inc. on XX/XX/18 for {$920.00}. I spoke to the management at XXXX to let them know that I never received an invoice, which would have alerted me to pay and I was disappointed that they sent the bill to collection without even letting me know. They agreed that an error was made and they were supposed to invoice me but never did so due to an oversight. I promptly paid the outstanding balance due to them, which was {$830.00} in person on XX/XX/18. I was assured by XXXX that I no longer owed them any money and that the debt collector will no longer be contacting me for payment. I received a receipt from XXXX, showing the payment made and that the balance on my account is {$0.00}. However, I have received additional correspondence after payment was made from Credit Counsel on XX/XX/18 requesting payment for {$86.00} even though I do not owe this money, as I already paid my debt and resolved the issue with the creditor. 

Further, the balance that Credit Counsel Inc. is stating I owe increases with each notice I receive. The initial notice received on XX/XX/18 is {$910.00} which includes {$83.00} in excess of the balance owed to XXXX. An email received on XX/XX/18 indicates I owe {$920.00} ( {$85.00} in excess of the balance owed ). I paid off the debt on XX/XX/18, and received another notice on XX/XX/18 for a total of {$86.00}. When I inquired why this excess amount is owed from Credit Counsel Inc, an explanation or details supporting the claim could not be provided and they only sent the invoice of {$830.00} from XXXX. I also inquired of XXXX on why the amount being charged by the debt collector is higher than the amount owed and the manager, XXXX XXXX, at the XXXX stated that it is not in accordance with their contract for Credit Counsel to charge more than the {$830.00}, since Credit Counsel receives a fee as revenue from the amount collected from the debt.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: PulteGroup, Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
My wife and I decided to build a house with Pulte and were happy with the overall service until they started to aggressively push their mortgage company on us. We were not provided with a rate until XX/XX/18 when we had a closing date of XX/XX/18. Additionally, our other lender had a much lower rate so we informed Pulte we were going with the other lender. Pulte came back and matched the rate, but the other lender ended up matching the closing cost credits Pulte offered so we informed Pulte we would not be going with Pulte as our lender.

After the back and forth, I had finally told Pulte on XX/XX/18 that we would be going with the other lender. I received several voicemails from the Pulte lender telling me it was a mistake and there was a contingent amount related to sales incentives that would be added to the home price if we didn't use Pulte. This clause was added in the agreement ; however, they did not mention it when purchasing the house and no mention of the {$4100.00} additional " discount '' was related in the price of the house. The lender paid closing way clearly separated from the final price of the home in the billing summary but there is no mention at all of the {$4100.00} being contingent. 

Pulte then sent me a text message on XX/XX/2018 ( 8 days before closing ) telling me the purchase price of the house would be increased by the {$4100.00}. This is so late that the other lending company had of course already finished the loan approval process. Pulte then didn't send a " change order '' until XX/XX/18 which then showed the {$4100.00} as being contingent in the billing summary when it previously was nowhere to be found. 

Pulte has also continued to process my loan and says it will be ready at closing if we choose them even though we told them we will not use them. Furthermore, they repeatedly called my new employer and were aggressive in their dealing with HR as they gave me a call asking if everything was okay. They have been aggressive and sketchy and tried to coerce us into using their lending company.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
Please help ... I have done everything within my ability to resolve my billing concerns with XXXX XXXX, including emailing the corporate office. I have not received a response from Corporate and received unfulfilled promises from Customer Service. 

I have had multiple store cards. XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Credit Card, XXXX, A credit card used for Health Care, and Walmart. I have always paid my cards on time. About a year ago, XXXX XXXX took over some of the company cards. when calling, the system identifies the customer by the phone you use to dial the customer service number. Unfortunately this has created a nightmare. When I called I was thinking I was connect to one card, but a different card was being addressed. I can not access the bills on line, I can not get them mailed to me, I can not access the bills on line, nor can I find charge ( paper or on line ) One customer service agent told me to use a different phone and then say I did not know my account number when I call and that would assure that the correct bills got paid. 

Every month I try to pay I have to call customer service. This started with XXXX XXXX about ago. I took out the card to purchase tires. After a month I did not get a bill. I called the store. They gave me a number to call. I was told it was emailed to me. I made a payment and they waived a fee. I was told the concern was resolved. The next month I called again. I again told them I check my spam, my inbox, my XXXX XXXX   and I never received a bill. I was charged late fees. I paid excess of minimum. Then again the next month when I called I was told that no payments were posted and there were late fees. I paid the bill in full and closed the account. This echos experiences with XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX. I have finally paid all of my XXXX XXXX   cards only to learn that my Walmart Card has been taken over by Synchrony. 

Regarding my XXXX XXXX XXXX card for two months I was told that they would correct the address and the concern that was prohibiting me from accessing my online account and to be able to see my bill. For two months this was not done. I have had my address corrected on the account since XX/XX/2017!! The computer does not acknowledge me current information so I can not access this on line. I then learned that the account I was making payments from was rejecting the ACH payment as possible fraud. ( For two months ) I did not know this because I never received a bill or any notice.

Please help ... I have done everything within my ability to resolve my billing concerns with XXXX XXXX, including emailing the corporate office. I have not received a response from Corporate and received unfulfilled promises from Customer Service. 

Thank you
