Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to resolve an issue I have had with this company for at least two years. I was told to contact a law firm regarding this account which I did and they told me to call Midland. I called Midland and told them I just wanted to settle this matter and they stated they were not currently collecting on the account. They indicated the would call and let me know who now was in charge of the account. I never receive any return phone call. I do not understand how they can report this account on my credit report and update it monthly, causing maximum damage to my credit score. However, they are unable to tell me who to speak to about this account. This has become ridiculous and I want this removed from my credit report immediately.

Company: HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENT ASSISTANCE AUTHORITY (HESAA)
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I had a student loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX services back in XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX year. The company started to garnish my wages because my loan became delinquent and we came to an agreement that if I made six on time payments that they would stop the garnishment and I would rehabilitate my loan to current status. I decided to go that route and made the necessary payments to bring my account current. I then decided to consolidate all my student loans with XXXX XXXX because I did n't want this problem happening again. Once XXXX XXXX had told me they had disbursed the money to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I called to see if they had received it and they told me that they did receive it and that the account would report as paid on my credit report like all my other student loans. Unfortunately they made an error on my credit report that I just recently noticed that has cost me from refinancing my car. On my XXXX credit report they have my account showing as a charge off instead of paid which my other two credit reports show. As stated before I was denied refinancing of my car because my credit union used XXXX as the credit reporting agency that they used for that feature. l-

Company: Collection Bureau of America Ltd.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter today ( X/X/17 ) from Collection Bureau of America stating that I owe {$36.00}. It notes the Current Creditor as XXXX XXXX XXXX. The letter states that if I do not notify their office in writing within 30 days, they will assume the debt is valid. It then states that if I do not pay the debt within 30 days, they may submit a negative credit report to a reporting agency. It is signed XXXX XXXX, Debt Collector. I had never heard of XXXX XXXX XXXX before I received the letter. I 've certainly never had an account with them or owed them any money. After reading other consumers ' stories about Collection Bureau of America, I 've come to the conclusion that this is completely fraudulent. However, I am worried that they will submit a negative credit report like they said.

Company: ECMC GROUP, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I attended XXXX XXXX College inXX/XX/XXXX and the school did not provide the promises they made for job placement and graduating in 18 months. I withdrew from the college when they said they could not provide the credits necessary to complete studies in the promised 18 months. There were two attempts to secure employment with interviews that yielded 0 offers.
From day one to this day, i refute being responsible for these predatory loans that were written in fraudulent intent. They wanted to extend the loans beyond the 18 months that we were not agreeing to.
When this fraudulent action was finally discovered in XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX, i filed to get our loans discharged that were in default. Instead, ECMC decided to take drastic actions now and withheld {$9000.00} from my wife 's return in XX/XX/XXXX. I called to setup a rehabilitation repayment but they instead went ahead with wage garnishment of 15 %. I know this is all legal, but it is a hardship on our part but of course not according to their qualifications for hardships. Homeless, utility disconnections, etc.
They should have never been allowed to puchase the XXXX XXXX just to retain status to continue collecting on these pedatory loans. I 've read many former students in the same situation getting hard tactics to collect on these loans.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a follow up complaint. After deception regarding a forbearance Wells Fargo then stalled the process when I was able to pay off the entire balance as of XX/XX/XXXX. They finally ( thru their lawyers ) submitted an offer to end it ( Attached ). I wired the payoff ( Attached ). It is now XX/XX/XXXX and they send a letter saying they " expect to complete our work by XX/XX/XXXX ''. They also say they may charge their " loss '' to us as taxable income to us. I argue they had no loss until they began refusing to accept our money and continued to drag out the payment acceptance. They ignore my requests to be contacted via email. They only call, leave a message, and can not be reached. I requested email in order to have documentation as I have learned that what they tell me on the phone is not what is what their intentions are.

Company: KEYCORP
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX, 2017 I wish to make a complaint for the customer service I received recently by the Assistant Vice President Licensed Branch Manager XXXX XXXX at the XXXX XXXX Branch. I 've had many issues with overdraft fees charged on my account by Key Bank errors in the past. On XXXX XXXX 2017, I was charged an overdraft fee for insufficient funds since I 've had many issues with Key Bank errors I asked for a refund as a courtesy. The customer service I had spoke to on the phone advised me to go into a Branch near me and speak to a personal banker at a Key Bank Branch near me and they 'd be able to help me. When I went into the XXXX XXXX Branch, I spoke to a bank teller who advised me to go into the Key Bank Branch where I had opened my account and they 'd be able to help me better there. I went into the Key Bank Branch located in XXXX XXXX and spoke to a bank teller who, told me I had to speak to a personal banker in regards to the refund because she was unable to authorize the refund since I had a substantial amount of courtesy refunds already. Which in fact was inaccurate as they had been Key Bank errors. On Tuesday XXXX XXXX, 2017, I went into Key Bank to speak to a personal banker in regards to overdraft fees I had in the month of XXXX. When I spoke to the Assistant Vice President Licensed Branch Manager XXXX XXXX, I tried explaining what had happened with my prior overdraft fees and asked if I could have a courtesy refund on some of the overdraft fees since there had been issues with the prior fees. As I explained what the problem was she rudely interrupted me without letting me explain thoroughly and kept shouting at me " was it a bank error? '' As I had explained, this time it was not a bank error but since I had to deal with many bank errors prior to this one I wanted to ask if I could have a refund as a courtesy. I am absolutely disgusted with the customer service I received by the Assistant Vice President Licensed Branch Manager XXXX XXXX, she was beyond ridiculous! I have never met such a rude person ever before and her behavior was completely out of line! I had to get up and walk out from there before I lost it. As we walked out of the bank she continued to be rude and unprofessional, laughing and smiling and shaking her head as we walked off.
