Complaint narrative:
Received call from " XXXX '' XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX XXXX 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX I owe XXXX XXXX Bank some huge undisclosed sum of money. He states that the last activity was in 2004. 

Claims that they have authorized an immediate lawsuit against me in my county unless I quality for their hardship program AND immediately pay off this debt. 

The caller refused to identify himself, provide phone number, or to confirm his company name, address, etc. 

I repeatedly demanded written information be mailed to me. The caller refused to confirm that any mailing had been or will be sent. Only that I had to know about the debt and had to pay immediately unless I want the sheriff at my home. I was unable to get any direct contact information from the caller. 

The caller just kept threatening that a lawsuit was pending unless I pay. For the record : 1 ) I do n't owe the debt, and, 2 ) the alleged debt is out of statute for Pennsylvania. 

What is my recourse with the company?

Complaint narrative:
This is an extension to a former complaint filed a few days ago with NationStar. After XXXX Title Company tried to pay off the lender for my home the lender NationStar rejected the payment saying the payoff amount was short by XXXX but could n't tell us where that amount came from and why. They sent us a new payoff balance which stated that the new payoff amount was not short by XXXX but actually short by XXXX but again could not tell us why or what for. We spoke with XXXX different representatives who all stated that it was an error on their end when giving us the payoff balance but they could n't pin point what the error was from and how they got their numbers. XXXX Title Company decided to pay them the extra XXXX out of their own company funds to be done with the situation. Upon sending NationStar the new payoff balance with the XXXX difference somone mistyped and over payed NationStar by XXXX We contacted NationStar who said that they were unable to return the wired overpayment because their system showed the received the fund through a check not a wire. XXXX with XXXX XXXX gave them wire transfer information proving they were wrong and that the funds were indeed sent via wire. We spoke with a XXXX, XXXX who said that they would send the XXXX back but could n't until AFTER XXXX days due to NationStars policies. She then changed her story stating it could be done after XXXX days. She then again changed her story and said that we could put in a request after 18 days to try to get the funds returned and that it would need to be processed and if approved then we would receive it via check in the mail through XXXX. She said that she could not send the funds to XXXX XXXX that she could only by law send them to me. So now we have to wait XXXX days to received this check once it 's sent here to XXXX to me I have to signet over to XXXX XXXX and overnight it to their offices in XXXX. I 'm extremely irritated that NationStar changed the payoff amount AGAIN and can not tell us why. I 'm extremely irritated that they will not return XXXX Title Company 's money to them. I 'm extremely upset that they changed the payment received in their system in order to prolong the refund process. This company is beyond ridiculous, unprofessional, and fraudulent. Attached you will find the documents showing the payment differences the wire transfer and the over payment to them supporting my claims.

Complaint narrative:
Received notice letters stating condominium insurance had expired, that no renewal certificate was received, and that force placed insurance would be purchased at likely higher cost. In fact, condo insurance had not expired and will be in force for more than 4 more months. Required me to spend time with my insurance company and then with Nation Star Mortgage ( NSM ) in order to straighten this out. Was told that their system failed to update. That can not be correct as there was nothing to update ( condo policy was XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX effective dates ). What bothers me more than spending 45 minutes fixing a non-issue, is how difficult NSM 's phone system was. Their system did everything possible to keep me from speaking to a human being. By the time I eventually spoke to one, he was very kind and ( eventually ) helpful. I pressed " XXXX '' over and over much to the automated system 's dissatisfaction. Should n't it be easier to speak to a human being?

Complaint narrative:
My husband and I closed on our home/VA Loan XX/XX/XXXX and paid our required funding fee of {$3400.00}. His Veteran XXXX claim was still pending at that time but was approved shortly after our closing date, at XXXX. This level of XXXX constitutes waiver of the funding fee and because his XXXX claim was opened and in process prior to our loan closing, we are entitled to a refund of the funding fee. 
We began our process to obtain the refund XX/XX/XXXX. We have contacted our local VA Regional Office, our original lender, XXXX, and Nationstar Mortgage, the final servicer to which the loan was sold. Research case XXXX was opened with Nationstar. The XXXX Regional VA office has repeatedly told us the lender must submit for the refund via a secure gov't website. Nationstar has repeatedly told us to reach out to the VA to obtain the refund. 
After countless phone calls and hours spent on hold with the VA and our lender, I was told to send Nationstar our Settlement Statement for the home loan showing the {$3400.00} funding fee payment as well as the VA Benefits Summary/Certificate of Eligibility. I again faxed this under the cover of XXXX and also emailed their research dept. 
I received response on XX/XX/XXXX from their research dept, that we were to contact the VA Office-the same incorrect response they have given multiple times. I responded to this email with detailed instructions and the link to the FAQs regarding the process that I was able to find online ( XXXX ) clearly asking them to reference Sections XXXX and XXXX for the request process to be followed by lenders and Section I which discusses how a lender can register their lender ID in the system, get their PIN, etc. if that company is not already registered. This is the process they need to use to request our funding fee refund be paid to them by the VA at which point they can apply it to our principal. 
I then received another response from the Research Dept on XX/XX/XXXX in which they asked me to reference their prior response on XX/XX/XXXX-that we needed to contact the VA for the refund. As the link above clearly shows, the veteran does not request the refund. It must be done by the lender because it was paid as part of our loan closing.

I purchase a car from Clay Cooley on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX my car broke down. The company made me pay XXXX dollar for a loaner car in addition to my car note. They kept my car until for over a month without fixing it. Once it was finally fixed I ended up taking the car back 2 additional times for the same problem. On XXXX XXXX they traded me to another car. After having the new car only 3 weeks I had problems with it. I took it in they supposed to have fixed it and a week later it is now back in the shop. I have made all my payments on time and have continued to receive bad service. I still am not driving my car and I have requested upper management to get involved and arbitration but no one will help. The company will not remove the other car loan from my credit and I was told that I would get the new car for the same price as the old but they increased the price and made me pay for another warranty.

Greetings, I 'm writing to ask, What good is the H.A.R.P program, if the banks all turn you down? If the object is to assist people, it sure is a lousy program. I 'm currently paying 7.5 % with payments at {$1100.00} a month, yet every bank I ask will not let me refinance due to not enough income??? I currently make about {$1300.00} a month income, and have not missed a payment since I took over the loan, yet no one will let me refinance to a lower rate, which will reduce my payments. I would love to be able to afford hamburger helper occasionally, instead of raman noodles and what vegetables I can grow in my garden. Time is running out on the program, I would like a refinance before that happens. 
I used Quicken Loans only as an example since its the most recent bank I approached, but this is the case with many places I have tried.

Complaint narrative:
The attorney placed a lien against me in error. They acknowledged that they did this in error after assuming that I was married to the other party involved that they could legally attach the lien to. They told me via telephone and email that even though the debit is not valid, instead of paying them {$2000.00} for the debt I do not owe, I would need to " voluntarily '' give them {$2000.00} for them to remove the lien that they placed against me in error. They also advised me to contact a title company with full knowledge that they were the ones who placed the lien and the title company had nothing to do with it. All of their phone calls are recording per their automated system, so they should be able to verify this information as well.

I was charged by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for " Services Performed '' during XXXX separate emergency room visits to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( 1= {$990.00} ; 2= {$240.00} ). I asked several times in writing that they provide a description and some substantiation of these " services performed '' for each billing XXXX simply kept sending duplicate copies of their bills. Eventually they turned XXXX billings over to a collection agency -- AR Resources. I 've asked this agency several times to provide a description and substantiation of the " services performed '' as well. They have sent nothing more than a statement of account ( twice ), listing invoices sent by XXXX for the first XXXX billing only. I still have absolutely no idea what " services '' these people performed during either one of my XXXX visits that would substantiate these charges ( that are over and above what the hospital XXXX charged ). AR Resources continues to ignore my requests for substantiation of these debts and has reported XXXX of these billings as " collections accounts '' against me to credit reporting agencies. I 've disputed these claims with XXXX has removed them from their report ; however, XXXX states that these claims are compliant with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Company: Viking Client Services
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My attorney sent the following letter to XXXX XX/XX/XXXX requesting a response with evidence the car was in fact damaged, which it was not. Nothing has been sent back. So now its XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX has sent me to collections with a company called Viking. There are many complaints on the CFPB site for both of these companies, and I want the harassment to stop. I never damaged the vehicle, there is not proof, I turned it in without any issues and I inspected it with the XXXX employee. Here is the letter sent back in XX/XX/XXXX : Re : False Accident Claim by XXXX ; rental agreement # XXXX XX/XX/XXXX To Whom It May Concern ; I received a claim from your companies on XX/XX/XXXX, dated XX/XX/XXXX, in reference to a car returned at the XXXX, TN airport XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. 
The claim states there was an accident, collision, to the vehicle, and that I am to pay {$1300.00} for said damages. This is impossible as I never crashed the vehicle, I returned the vehicle to 2 gentlemen who were working at the drop off location, we walked the vehicle, and there was NO DAMAGE. No one called us to tell us there was damage after the fact. No one sent me a report for the damage, and I have not seen or been sent any pictures of the damage. Yet I receive a letter an entire month after asking for a payment to damage that was never done by me during my time with the vehicle. So the vehicle was repaired before even reaching me to discuss or show that there was damage to the vehicle. 
Further I called XXXX, XXXX, at XXXX, 3 business days in a row ; 1 ) XX/XX/XXXX left message 2 ) XX/XX/XXXX did not leave message 3 ) XX/XX/XXXX left message No return phone calls were made, and all 3 calls were made from my cell phone, which has a record of these calls. 
This is a completely false claim or gross error on your part, and I would like a letter sent back as the effect. I will seek legal action if either XXXX or XXXX decide to further proceed with the false accusations about me having and accident in the rental car. As I stated above, I dropped it off and there were 2 attendants laughing and talking. One came and walked the car with me, and I gave him the keys and went on our way.
