Consumer complaint received 2017-11-29 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX I sent a debt validation letter to Wells Fargo XXXX dept in reference to years of interest accrued via cash advance. It is my belief that I did not know cash advances were being charged on my account. I requested a fraud review in which I received a letter from their fraud team along with my entire credit card history stating that the charges were valid ( " the account was authorized based off payments and transactions made to the account. ). *My credit card was closed in XXXX and charged off a few years later. * Upon receiving a recent settlement offer for {$1500.00} from Wells Fargo for monthly payments of XXXX for next 10 months, and further review of my charges from what they sent me, I called today XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to make a good faith counter offer of {$1000.00} in which I informed collection rep that due to my current financial status that I will not be able to make payments for the next 10 months of {$150.00}. I informed rep that I was gifted {$1000.00} and would like to settle with all that I had. I was told my offer would not be taken and that I had to either pay {$90.00} a month until full balance was paid ( {$2500.00} XXXX or settle with the 10 month option of paying off the {$1500.00}. 

I do not know what to do with this debt as they do not want to take what I am able to pay with today nor am I able to find extra income to pay an additional monthly bill of either the full payment or settled amount? I feel defeated. All I want is for this account to be over with. I could of been done with this TODAY.

Company: Colony Brands, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I recently paid off my installment to XXXX XXXX for purchasing a few items. When I paid the debt I was informed everything was good to go. I was not informed of any negative information that was going to be reported to the bureau 's saying that I had failed to pay. I was not given any warning statements of any sort. Never once did they report anything positive to the bureau 's but decided to report negative information. I do not believe that is fair to never report anything positive but feel the need to report negative information.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, I called Transunion to remove inquires that I did not authorized. I spoke with a US Rep that was handling my request. In the midst of our phone call, as he was confirming the ones that needed to be removed, the call was disconnected. I called back and waited 15 minutes to get another US rep on the phone. I explained to him what happened and how the US Rep was deleting unauthorized inquires and could he continue. He told me that he could n't do it. Again, I explained that the other US Rep was in the processing of deleting these unauthorized inquires. However, he did not care. Needless to say, he did n't help me with what the other US Rep was more than willing to help me with. There 's XXXX inquires from 2016 from car loan places. None of these places had my authorization to pull my credit or anything relating to this matter.

Company: S&N Debt Solutions, LLC
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I began work with S & N Debt Solutions to work on settling three credit card accounts that I was not financially able to clear on my own. Two with XXXX were settled successfully. The last account was negotiated with XXXX XXXX from an original balance of {$6000.00} to a settlement of {$3000.00} with payments to begin in XXXX of XXXX and to end in XXXX of XXXX. Payments were directly debited from my checking account each month. Payments were successfully debited from my account each month with the exception of XXXX XXXX. My account did not have sufficient funds for that payment, and the payment was never recouped by S & N. I received a letter from XXXX XXXX dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX that my account had been sold to a collection agency, XXXX XXXX XXXX. Upon receiving the letter, I contacted both XXXX XXXX and S & N on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I was told by XXXX XXXX that the settlement offer was canceled after three returned payments, in XXXX of XXXX, XXXX and XXXX of XXXX. The agent told me that the notation on the payments was " not authorized '' which indicated the payments were likely canceled by the third party debt agency since it would otherwise show " insufficient funds. '' After calling S & N, I was initially told that the settlement offer with XXXX XXXX was canceled after a returned payment from XXXX and that notes indicated a negotiator was attempting to re-work the offer. Upon being transferred to a supervisor, I was told that XXXX XXXX had actually cancelled the offer after the missed XXXX payment which I acknowledge was missed. However, that is contradictory to what XXXX XXXX tells me, and I was never notified by S & N about the settlement being canceled so I could attempt to remedy the situation. Acccording to my balance history in the account set up for settlement payments, my balance was {$210.00} at the time the XXXX XXXX payment of {$10.00} was made to XXXX XXXX. In addition, the balance on XXXX XXXX, XXXX was {$240.00}, but a payment was not made to XXXX XXXX. S & N refused to send me documentation of contact attempts made to XXXX XXXX on my behalf to make that payment. While there was not a balance in the account to make the XXXX payment, I do not understand why the XXXX or the XXXX payment would have been rejected and/or not paid. I have paid {$660.00} in settlement fees and monthly fees to S & N on this account which has now been turned over to collection for {$5100.00}. I have already paid {$970.00} toward the settlement and would have only owed {$2000.00} if the payments had been made by S & N as expected. I am now faced with a 7 year blemish on my credit file along with a balance that is over {$3000.00} more than I would have paid otherwise.
