Received a call XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX, from a gentleman stating that he was a license carrier part of a national carrier and he was trying to locate me because a formal complaint has been filed against my name and my social security number to appear in court. He said he could grant me a period of time to contact the filing party to update my address for the summoning date and place a possible stop order on his services.He said to contact the filing party at XXXX and reference the docket number XXXX. I then googled the phone number and nothing came up. I also search the docket number on the Georgia public service commission website and nothing was found. I then called the number and spoke with XXXX XXXX at extension XXXX. He stated that I owed a payday loan for the amount of {$2300.00}. I received this exact same call in XX/XX/XXXX. I told him I have already paid this and I have receipts. I then asked him to provide his email address so I could send him the receipts. He gave me the email address : XXXXXXXXXXXX Once emailed I immediately received a mail-daemon that stated the mail could not be delivered. I called back and asked to speak with XXXX XXXX and told him that I did n't have the right email address because the emails were sent back. He said that they had received the emails and that it looks like I paid a fraudulent company. He then advised me to take the paperwork to court. He also gave the option to settle out of court but I told him why would I settle if I already paid. I then told him that I would speak with my lawyer.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX in XXXX, AL on XX/XX/XXXX. Paid my notes on time every month. XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from them, dated XX/XX/XXXX stating that they were closing due to the death of the owner and my loan was sold to American Credit Acceptance in XXXX, SC and that nothing on the loan will change. I also received a letter from the new lender American Credit also dated XX/XX/XXXX stating they got my loan with new account number and nothing is changing and that they will continue to report my payments with the bureaus. Since they took over the loan I started asking about my credit being reported and I 've gotten told several things, they do n't report till the loan is paid off, they have been reporting it, they will check into it, then they said that XXXX motor did n't send them all the information they needed so the credit will never show and the newest one on XX/XX/XXXX is that they deleted the tradeline and my credit will never show on my reports. Since then I have asked for a letter in writing on their letterhead stating that they deleted the tradeline and my credit will never show on my credit, now they are avoiding me.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is in reference to the removal of PMI from my loan. The HPA states, and the CFPB Director has confirmed in a statement provided in 2015, that PMI must be removed upon written request from the mortgagor, assuming good payment history, current on payments, and value at or above original value, if the current principal balance reaches 80 % of the original loan value through normal amortization tables or actual payments, including additional payments made by the mortgagor. XXXX XXXX has stated, and the FHFA agreed that the cancellation provided under the HPA is not an obligation to them and they are free to demand that the loan to value ration equal 75 %. I have found no guidance on this issue and both the summaries from the Federal Reserve and the CFPB state that XXXX XXXX must remove PMI upon request when the loan to value reached 80 % ( assuming the previously stated guidelines are met ). The FHFA and XXXX XXXX have also stated that regardless of the CFPB 's decisions they do not have to follow them. I believe this to be false and would like assistance from the CFPB in navigating this issue. Thank you for your help, XXXX XXXX

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I recently purchased 2 items from XXXX using PayPal on XX/XX/2017 for the amount of XXXX. I noticed today XX/XX/2017 that my XXXX checking account was overdrawn due to the transaction. The descrepency being, when using PayPal as a payment method, my PayPal preferences are set both online and in store to draw from my preferred account, in this case, PayPal Credit. It did not, and instead my bank account was charged and lead to an overdraft. I had spoken to XXXX, very helpful and they directed me to contact PayPal, I immediately did so and they would not take my claim seriously, lied about their own policies, which are visible on their own website and it will draw from a checking account, only if there is no preference set for payment otherwise, which was and still is PayPal Credit. At the time there was sufficient credit line, and should have been utilized. They were very unhelpful and condescending.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
My first problem is in regards to 2 of my 4 loans, which were originally with XXXX XXXX. They were in forbearance when XXXX took over servicing in XX/XX/XXXX. Two of my loans were listed as having been 60-89 days late, but the other two not. This makes no sense, as I do n't pay these loans individually ; they are all serviced under one umbrella. I 've been told by many different representatives that this was a clerical error, a problem during the transition, etc. I 've submitted documentation supporting my claim ( letters regarding approval of forbearance, the length of it, etc ), but they have not corrected the inaccuracy. The second problem applies to all of my loans. I was on maternity leave in XX/XX/XXXX, and had my loans in forbearance while I was not working. During this time period, I received several calls from agents stating that my loans were past due and I needed to make a payment immediately. I made payments on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, and each time I was assured by the representative I spoke with that nothing negative had been reported to the credit bureaus. Nevertheless, my credit report shows all four loans as having been 90-119 days late. I 've submitted documentation supporting my claim, but XXXX has not corrected the inaccuracies. I 've been consistently making payments for over 10 years now, with the occasional forbearance when in between jobs/illness/family issues. I 've provided documentation that XXXX has made mistakes, and yet they refuse to correct them. I 've tried communicating directly with them, and also submitting disputes with the credit bureaus, but ca n't seem to get anywhere. As a result of their errors, I have had to pay higher interest rates on loans, and in some cases was denied outright. I 'm really hopeful that perhaps the CFBP will be able to get farther on this issue. Thank you for your time and help.

Company: BBVA FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
My car was totaled in an accident XXXX XXXX, 2017. My insurance company sent Compass Bank a payoff amount greater than the loan payoff. The XX/XX/XXXX payment was not yet due and the payoff amount was accepted prior to XX/XX/XXXX payment being due and payable. I made all payments through XXXX 2017.  Compass mailed me a check for {$220.00} which is the difference between the payoff amount and the overpayment by the insurance company. However, Compass Bank still needs to reverse the XX/XX/XXXX payment or mail me a check for that payment. Compass in their schedule of payments received shows XX/XX/XXXX payment to be reversed, but the reversal was never made to my bank account. I have sent several e-mails to the total loss department without any response. I have tried calling the total loss department numerous times but can never get a hold of anyone. I am feeling totally taken advantage of here.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I took a flight from XXXX to XXXX. When the flight was landing, a credit card application was offered/passed around offering XXXX XXXX XXXX miles if we signed up for the card. I filled out the application. A few weeks later, I received a card from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. It was then I learned I had an annual fee of {$95.00}. So, I decided not to activate the card. Two months later, my credit warning showed that I received a negative mark on my credit report. Apparently, without me knowing, this Barclays Bank sent the credit agency a late payment for not paying the annual fee - on a card I never activated. I have since cancelled the account, but do n't believe you should be required to pay for a card account you never activate. To make matters worse, Barclays will not provide documentation I can give to the credit reporting agency showing them I never had this account open.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I had an incident where my wallet was lost, along with my identification and bank cards. Upon realizing what happened, I immediately checked online for any purchases using my PNC checking accounts. I went into the nearest PNC Bank and informed a representative of what happened, identified multiple fraudulent charges, and I asked the representative to have my account information changed and reissue new cards. After a week of waiting for new cards ad account information to arrive I contacted the bank regarding when I should expect my new account information, and was informed that my accounts had been " administratively closed '', and that I should contact their loss prevention/security department for further information. When I contacted the recommended department I was basically told that my accounts were closed due to fraudulent activity, and that I would not be permitted to reopen that or any other accounts with PNC. I asked many questions, but got entirely NO answers or any satisfactory resolution. I was treated extremely unkind and was talked to as if I was a criminal. After several unsuccessful attempts to resolve this, I eventually opened an account with another bank. I recently, however, pulled my XXXX report after having been denied the ability to open another account for my son. When I received my report, I saw that PNC has reported that there has been " Suspected Fraud Activity '' on that account. That 's TOTALLY WRONG of them to do that, especially since I did everything I knew to do and that I was the one to initiated a fraud investigation in the first place. Each time I went into the branch to get answers I was referred to the same fraud department who wasted my time and treated me horribly.

Company: Community Loan Servicing, LLC (formerly known as Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC)
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have a mortgage that is being serviced by Bayview loan servicing. I am not late, or behind on payments, but every month they start calling about the payment. Today is X/X/2017. The payment is not considered late until after XX/XX/XXXX, and I mailed them a check last week, so it will get there way before XX/XX/XXXX. So far today they have called me 7 times from 3 different phone numbers, and it is only XXXX XXXX. They are harassing me, and I am sick of it. The calls start early in the morning, and continue throughout the day. They are acting like I am in default, and I am not. My payment has been made every month, but they do this to me every month, and I have been paying on this loan for over ten years. They really know how to XXXX XXXX a good customer. I would refinance, but the loan has very good terms. ( They did not originate it. They took it over from XXXX ) I want them to stop calling me like this, and I told them so. The calls only increased after that. These calls are causing me stress, and anger. I do n't think they should be able to call and harass me like this when I am not late on my payments to them.
