Product: Debt collection — Auto debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Company: Shermeta Law Group, PLLC
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter from the " Shermeta Law Group '' stating that they were attempting to collect an auto loan debt for " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' in the amount of {$10000.00}. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Shermeta Law Group and informed them that I had filed for bankruptcy and received a discharge in XX/XX/XXXX. Shermeta Law asked if I had included their client " XXXX XXXX '' on my bankruptcy petition. I stated that I had not because " Auto Vest '' was not listed on any of the credit reports that I received from the 3 credit bureaus. 
Shermeta Law stated that because the XXXX XXXX loan was not listed in the petition, I was still obligated for the debt. I then asked how old this debt was and Shermeta stated it was XXXX. I informed them that Michigan 's Statute of Limitations had expired. 
Shermeta Law stated this debt was not subject to the statute of limitations because they had filed a lawsuit and received a default judgment in XXXX and the judgment was renewed in XXXX. I informed Shermeta Law that I had never been served with any lawsuit or judgment renewal. Shermeta Law stated that the Clerk of the Court was responsible for notifying me of these pleadings. 
I told Shermeta Law that they were wrong because the Michigan Court Rules mandated that it is the attorney, not the clerk of the court, who is supposed to serve the opposing party ( i.e., myself ) with paperwork. Shermeta Law then changed their statement, now saying that they did serve me with the lawsuit and the renewal. I stated that I never received anything and asked how could it be that I was receiving their letter about owing the debt, but I hadn't received anything about a lawsuit or judgment renewal. Shermeta Law stated that they did send all the paperwork to me and if I wanted to " claim '' that I didn't receive it, I was free to do so.

When I told Shermeta Law that I would be taking legal action under the Fair Debt Collections Act, they stated that they didn't own this debt and were only collecting on behalf of Auto Vest.

I recorded this phone call.

Company: Fay Servicing, LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Fay Servicing regarding their management of my mortgage account and the unacceptable customer service I have experienced. 

Despite my repeated requests, Fay Servicing has refused to adjust the due date of my mortgage payment to align with the timing of my rental income, which I receive mid-month. As a result, I am consistently unable to make my mortgage payment by the XXXX of each month, causing unnecessary stress and financial strain. I believe this rigid policy is designed to collect interest on my account until the payment is made, which is unfair and predatory. 

Additionally, Fay Servicing has made several errors in the past, including inputting incorrect payment information, which caused checks to be returned. Although these errors were confirmed and the default interest was removed, I am now being unfairly penalized. For example, while I was able to make my XXXX payment over the phone, I am now being forced to submit certified funds due to an incident that was not my fault. This requirement appears to be another attempt to delay my payments and penalize me further. 

These issues have caused significant distress and financial hardship, and Fay Servicing 's lack of flexibility and repeated errors demonstrate a disregard for fair customer service practices. 

I am requesting the assistance of the CFPB to investigate this matter and to ensure that Fay Servicing : XXXX. Adjusts my mortgage payment due date to align with the timing of my rental income. 
XXXX. Allows me to make payments through standard methods without the unnecessary requirement for certified funds. 
XXXX. Improves their customer service practices to prevent further errors and delays. 

Please acknowledge receipt of this complaint and inform me of the steps being taken to address my concerns. Attached is record of their error. I need to make my payment before default interest kicks in. I dont have enough time to send certified funds over an issue that wasnt my fault. I need my ability to make payments restored immediately. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email that I had opened an account with Affirm, which I had not. It was addressed to " XXXX XXXX '' which is not me. It appears that someone had used my email address to open their account and Affirm never even bothered to verify that they own the email account. Now I get all of this person 's servicing alerts to my email. 

I don't know how they even allow a random user to use an email address they don't even have access to, and I have contacted Affirm twice to have my email address removed from that account. Yet I still receive all these emails, the latest one today, the date of this complaint, XX/XX/XXXX. I just want them to remove it so I stop receiving continued servicing emails that one can not opt out of.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally request a thorough investigation into the inaccuracies present in my consumer credit report. Upon reviewing the document, I have identified several instances of potentially false, inaccurate, and non-compliant information that require immediate attention.

It is imperative that you understand the gravity of these discrepancies. Federal regulations mandate the complete, accurate, and compliant reporting of all information, particularly within the METRO 2 data fields. Any deviation from these standards is not only a violation of the law but also a breach of trust with consumers. 
I hereby dispute the following items listed in my credit report : - Account # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  - Account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 
- Account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX These alleged negative claims lack sufficient evidence to support their accuracy and compliance with legal guidelines. Therefore, I demand the expungement and deletion of all derogatory and adverse markings associated with these accounts. 
Furthermore, I insist on your compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and METRO 2 reporting requirements. You are obligated to provide me with irrefutable physical proof of the validity, accuracy, and compliance of the reported information. 
Failure to do so within 30 days will result in legal action, including but not limited to filing a claim in federal court. 
I want to emphasize that my intention is not to dispute ownership or responsibility for these accounts. Rather, I seek transparency and accountability in the reporting process. If you are unable to substantiate the claims made in my credit report, I expect them to be promptly removed or updated to reflect accurate information. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I anticipate a swift and satisfactory resolution to this dispute. 
Sincerely,
