Consumer complaint received 2023-07-13 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: COAST PROFESSIONAL, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I spoke with XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) at Coast Professionals, Inc. ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX in the morning ( XXXX  ). My account number is # XXXX. I indicated that I was disputing all or part of the debt, as the letter they sent me said I needed to do so by XX/XX/XXXX. I indicated that we paid the estimated taxes due at the time and that I was on the phone with the IRS to resolve it. She indicated that I could not dispute the debt without providing supporting documentation. I read her the language on the form that she sent me that indicated I just needed to call/write to dispute. I said I would fax in the form at the bottom of the form saying I dispute the debt but I told her it did not say I needed to provide supporting documentation at that time. She again indicated that I had to provide supporting documentation to dispute. She then indicated that I needed to schedule a follow up phone call. I said that I was not required to do so. She again pushed that I schedule a follow up phone call. I then asked for a copy of our recorded phone call and she indicated that she could not provide a copy of the recorded phone call. She indicated that only the company and the IRS could have access to the phone calls. I asked her for the person giving her this information regarding the documentation and access to the recorded phone calls and she said it was XXXX XXXX ID XXXX. XXXX then gave me her managers name XXXX XXXX. She was going to give me the ID but the call was disconnected on their end. She did not call me back at either of the numbers I provided her. I later called the IRS. They found a payment we made that had not been applied to the taxes that was under my husbands tax payer ID and not mine ( the primary ). The issue with the IRS was resolved and the payment was backdated.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Louisiana XXXX SS # : XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/ Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to dispute the following items on my credit report : XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment Account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Charge Off Account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Charge Off Account XXXX  XXXX Late Payment Account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Charge Off Account XXXX XXXX XXXX Charge Off Account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Charge Off Account XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXX XXXX Late Payment Account XXXX XXXX Collection Account XXXX XXXX XXXX Late Payment Account XXXX XXXX Collection Account I strongly believe that these items are incorrect and have been reported unfairly. I have carefully reviewed my credit reports and have found errors and inconsistencies in the information provided. 



I would like to bring to your attention that under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, credit reporting agencies must provide accurate and complete information to consumers. Inaccurate and incomplete information can have a negative impact on my credit score and my ability to obtain credit and loans in the future. 



Regarding the late payment accounts, I would like to explain that I have experienced financial hardships and have been unable to make payments on time. However, I have since made efforts to catch up on missed payments and have been making regular payments. 



As for the charge off accounts, I was not aware that these accounts had been charged off and was not given an opportunity to make payments and settle the debts. I would like to request that these accounts be removed from my credit report, as I believe they were reported without proper notification. 



I kindly request that you investigate these items and take appropriate action to correct any errors or inaccuracies in my credit report. I also request that you provide me with a copy of my updated credit report once the investigation is complete. 



Thank you for your attention to this matter. 



Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I have 6 Student loans that are reported on my credit that are more than 7 years old. The timeline for reporting debt to a credit report is 7.5 years and these debts are well over that. The government plays games by selling your debt or changing the name of the loan or debt management company that has your loans. Why would my loans be transferred to a debt management company when I haven't asked for any debt consolidation? Not to mention I was never made aware that my loans were being transferred to anyone other than the Department of Education ( which is who I thought the loans were taken out ). Per my research " When your loan servicer gets bought or your loans are transferred, you will receive a notice from your current student loan servicer and a welcome letter from your new servicer. The promissory note that you sign for each new student loan requires both the old and the new servicer to notify you of the change. You should receive a letter from each of them when there is a service transfer. You may also receive notice from the Department of Education if your federal student loans are being transferred. " I have attached all of my loan information, also the information showing when my loan entered repayment and all of those dates were more than 7 years ago, so why is it still on my credit?

This is a continuing complaint from my Complaint No. XXXX. I NEED MY EMAIL ADDRESS UPDATED TO MY NEW EMAIL ADDRESS XXXX ... ... ... ... This was my previous message : I tried to update my email address. But the TransUnion website instructions stated it can be easily change by going to my profile, but it didn't work. It does not allow for change/update. The button is greyed out even though I was able to type in my new email address. Furthermore, I called yesterday and was left on hold for over 45+ minutes with no one answering. Then I tried to use their website instruction on the " Chat '' service by click the button at the lower right-hand corner ... ..well there was no button there. So I resorted using the Messenger Chat hoping that someone can help. The chat stated I was connected to " XXXX ''. I stated my issues and asked if " are you there ''. And after 20+ minutes, there was no response. What does it take to change a simple email address with TransUnion? Sincerely, XXXX XXXX ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ....

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services — Problem with product or service terms changing
Company: Real Time Group, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I had a predatory loan with XXXX XXXX that ultimately resulted in my home foreclosing in XX/XX/XXXX. at some point they sold off the second loan to XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. It was my understanding my loans would be paid with money from the foreclosure. Since I had not heard anything since and nothing ever went onto my credit report I assumed this to be the case. Suddenly in XX/XX/XXXX I received a 1099C for the second mortgage. I have had the same phone number this entire time and was at the same address for over 7 years and no collection calls or letters came to me. The company listed is Real time Solutions and they claim they now own the debt and claim they were able to write it off because there was a balloon payment due in XXXX which is not the case and means someone altered the loan documents without my permission. Regardless it is unethical to never contact me or bill me or gave me an option to pay and then reported it to the IRS via a 1099C which requires me to report it as income which will cost me a lot of money. I asked real time solutions to fix this and retract the 1099C and they ignored me.

Complaint narrative:
My bank USAA put my account into Inactive Status, which then accrues no interest for 3 years, and did not notify me they were doing so. I routinely checked the account to make sure there was money there, and it was linked to my checking via overdraft protection, but nothing indicated it was actually " inactive ''. The account status was not indicated on their website when I checked the account, I received no email nor paper mail about it, nor any other communication about the change in status. I only found out when I tried to move money out of the account and had no way to access the account as it had been disconnected from all ability to move money in the account.
