Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Financial Assistance Inc
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Formal Complaint Regarding Duplicate and Inaccurate Reporting of Charged-Off Debt Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am XXXX XXXX XXXX SSN : XXXX ). I am writing to formally report and dispute erroneous credit reporting by XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX collection agencies concerning a charged-off credit card debt. The details of this issue are as follows : Collection Agency XXXX : Account Number : XXXX Reported Balance : {$4600.00} as of XX/XX/year> Collection Agency XXXX : Account Number : XXXX Reported Balance : {$4600.00} as of XX/XX/year> These entries represent the same charged-off credit card debt yet are reported twice on my credit report. Moreover, the amounts differ, indicating a clear discrepancy that reflects inaccurate reporting. 

Violations and Consumer Law References : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Both XXXX and XXXX have a responsibility to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information they report. The presence of duplicate entries and mismatched balances is a direct violation of FCRA Section 1681e ( b ). 

Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : The XXXX collection agencies are potentially violating FDCPA by attempting to collect the same debt twice and misrepresenting the amounts owed. This raises concerns about deceptive and unfair practices. 

Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) : The discrepancies between reported balances from the same origin debt highlight a failure in compliance, affecting my rights under FCBA for accurate billing and reporting.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
We are involved in a lawsuit with a contractor that has been going on for over a year. For some reason our mortgage company, New Rez, sent mortgage statements and and other documents to the opposing attorney without our permission. We asked for an explaination from the New Rez legal department as to why this occurred. We have called several times over the past several months and have never gotten an answer. New Rez customer service and supervisors have told us they made an internal complaint on our behalf against their own legal department, but we have no way to verify this. 

We are trying to make changes to our escrow account but were told no changes can be made until the legal department says so, but they refuse to speak to us. We are not sure if this is a ploy by the mortgage company to keep us from making changes to the escrow account. Our account is frozen by legal and we want answers.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Fraud was committed on credit card on XXXX XX/XX/year> by a XXXX XXXX for XXXX EUR. 
Dispute was noticed on XXXX XXXX shortly after the charge posted for XXXX EUR. 

On XXXX XX/XX/year> I was notified that the dispute was closed against me automatically and that I am liable for the disputed purchase. 

I want Citi Bank investigated for not protecting me from fraudulent charges even though they claim to and not investigating fraudulent charges. I would like my money refunded to me for charges I did not make, that Citi said it would protect me from. The card does not have a PIN even though I want it to have one for security purposes. 

I did not make this transaction, the credit card company Citi did no due diligence to contact the merchant and to prove that it was valid or that I made the purchase. They made no attempts to get billing receipts from XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Citi bank credit card representative said because a physical card was used for the transaction, and because transactions were made after the transaction, the dispute is automatically resolved in the merchants favor. This makes no sense, and they are clearly trying to shirk their responsibility. The Citi employee I spoke to refused to reallocate the dispute or re-open it as services not rendered. 

I attempted to reach out to XXXX XXXX XXXX and was not able to even get in touch with this merchant as they exclusively speak XXXX, a language I can not even speak. XXXX does not even offer individual consulting services, they only do marketing to businesses. This case is so obvious I am shocked that Citibank Credit card services can harm consumers and get out of their contractual obligations with no consequences.
