Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Nathan & Nathan, P.C.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
This company does not respond to written requests for materials that are required to be presented the others when in court. They are preying off people in the State of Alabama that simply don't know how to respond or who to send information to. They are also completely unrealistic with available payment options. Debt Collection companies/ Attorneys should be required to allow reasonable payment plans based of what their client make, not some random about that they come up with over the phone. They want a house payment per month or else they threaten you with court system. There should be more consumer protections in place for this sort of shady business practice.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have been asked by Mr. Cooper, my mortgage company to submit proof of insurance at least three times starting on XX/XX/XXXX. Each time I've submitted proof of insurance to their provider XXXX/mrcooper and I have received verification that the insurance info was accepted. However each time I've also received in the mail a notice that my insurance has expired on XX/XX/XXXX. In the mycoverageinfo.com portal it shows that my current insurance has been accepted but it does not update the coverage date and it remains the expired XX/XX/XXXX. I have tried to contact Mr. Cooper MANY times to resolve this but they only have automated responses and the Chat portal never works. One time two days ago I managed somehow to get an agent from Mr. Cooper on the phone and she tried to do a conference call with my insurance agent to verify insurance but only managed to get his voicemail. Since then I've again submitted my proof of insurance and the online portal says it is accepted but refuses to update the insurance to current. Since Mr. Cooper continues to send me a Final notice with threats to purchase insurance for me I am trying to resolve this before it gets any worse. I have no recourse, other than writing a complaint.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. 
Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within 24 hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S. C S 5536 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - ( B ), as highlighted in the CFPB 's recent administrative proceeding ( File No. 2025-CFPB-0002 ) against them for similar violations. I request that the CFPB take action to ensure Equifax complies with federal law and provides consumers with the necessary proof of investigation.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I logged in on the mobile Capital One Bank app to make my credit card payment last week well before the due date of XXXX, so that we do not incur any penalties or late fees or interest charge. We have banked with CapitalOne for the past 10 years and every month I pay off my credit card statement amount in full and on time. 

CapitalOne did a system upgrade recently in XX/XX/year> as per the emails we received. 
I received an email stating I have to pay {$1400.00} as the full amount due.So I was doubtful as I had seen my credit card statement showing {$1500.00}. 
When I went online to pay my credit card balance due, I saw only these 4 payment options : Remaining statement balance {$1400.00} Current Balance {$3000.00} Last posted payment {$2700.00} Minimum payment {$25.00} Nowhere did it state the full Balance Amount Due of {$1500.00}, which is very confusing and misleading for the customer. 

Until last month, it would always clearly show the Balance Due Amount as one of the payment options and we would just click that option and pay it off in full, every month.

Hence I had to call Capitalone 3 times to clarify what my exact amount due actually is, so that I do not incur any interest on balance carried forward or any late fees for not paying the full amount. Every time i called them, I got a different answer so got even more confused about the Amount due. 
Finally when I spoke with a supervisor today XX/XX/year>, she agreed and said yes the customer has to open and refer to their monthly statement every time, to make sure they are paying the full Balance Amount Due. It is not listed specifically as one of the 4 options.

I think this is very misleading, inconvenient and time-consuming. 
We have never had this confusion before. If it is due to their system upgrade that was done recently, they need to rectify this error so people dont just select the first option by mistake as we have been doing for so many years, and end up incurring late fees/penalties/interest charges.

CapitalOne should clearly state Balance Amount Due as 1 of the payment options, so that we select it directly and pay off the full amount due, without incurring any penalties/ late fees/interest charges.
