Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Applying for or obtaining a modification, forbearance plan, short sale, or deed-in-lieu
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America has made up XXXX different excuses for denying my FHA mortgage loan modification documents. Documents were completed exactly as BofA instructed me to do. I made numerous phone calls to make sure they were done correctly- BofA admits to seeing the notes of those calls, but refused to reverse the decision they made in error. Each time I talked to a different BofA representative, they told me a different reason why the documents were rejected. They lied to me and were corrected with written proof during the same phone call, and still would not reverse their decision. What they are doing is fraud. I do believe they are back to offering employees incentives for denying loan modifications.

Complaint narrative:
On Friday XX/XX/XXXX, I went to XXXX XXXX to inquire about a XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. My plan was to use my existing car loan offer from my personal bank at XXXX. Upon meeting with XXXX XXXX, I discovered my loan offer at XXXX was not great enough to cover the expense of the car. I agreed to allow them to run my credit 1 time with the bank they use for car loans. XXXX XXXX ran my credit 8 times totaling 8 hard inquires on my credit. This is fraudulent. I never agreed to the hard inquires involving : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  The only authorized inquiry should have been from XXXX XXXX XXXX Finally, what is the most criminal about this entire experience is that XXXX XXXX was selling me an insufficient vehicle that required a new transmission. Yet, they knowingly tried to sell me the car thousands of dollars above its value, thus why I got denied for the loan from all these banks, because the car was red-flagged. I sincerely hope to receive help for these hard inquires. Thank you for the consideration.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, FL, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IA XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Against Medicredit for FDCPA Violations Dear FDCPA Compliance Office, I am writing to formally file a complaint against Medicredit, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO, XXXX, with phone number XXXX XXXX, for several violations I experienced during a recent collection call. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from an XXXX number, which began with a pre-recorded message. In the recent case XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ), the court held that the use of a pre-recorded greeting in an otherwise live call triggers XXXX ( b ) of the XXXX, regardless of whether an XXXX was used. This indicates a violation of my rights under the XXXX. 

When I returned the call and verified my personal information, XXXX, the representative, overshadowed my consumer rights by suggesting immediate payment within the validation period. This occurred even though I had not yet received the initial letter advising me of the debt. I informed XXXX that I was represented by an attorney and requested to speak to a supervisor. After spending XXXX minutes on the call, I was finally transferred only to be disconnected. 

Upon calling back, I spoke with XXXX XXXX, a supervisor, who disconnected the call after confirming my identity. On my second attempt, I encountered another representative, XXXX, who was extremely rude. When I asked to speak to the supervisor, XXXX claimed there were over XXXX employees and she did not know who the supervisor was. Despite this, I was informed that XXXX XXXX refused to address my concerns about the account and other questions, and I was told to send in my complaint. 

The issues I am highlighting are as follows : XXXX. Use of a pre-recorded message during a collection call. 
XXXX. Overshadowing my consumer rights by pressuring payment within the validation period. 
XXXX. Failure to provide an initial letter advising me of the debt. 
XXXX. Unprofessional and rude conduct by the representatives. 
XXXX. Use of an XXXX  in a blast campaign. 

Given these violations, I request a thorough investigation into Medicredit 's practices and confirmation that my rights as a consumer are protected. Additionally, I want assurance that no negative information related to this account will appear on my credit report. 

Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt response. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
