Complaint narrative:
On Friday XX/XX/year> replied to an ad on XXXX regarding an estate sale for a few items. The items were posted on the XXXX page of a person I know personally so I was not hesitant to make an offer. I reached out to my acquaintance via XXXX XXXX and agreed to pay {$450.00} for the items. He replied and asked if I used a XXXX XXXX so I could send in a deposit to hold the items. We agreed on using zelle. He informed me he was out of town and that I should sed the money to his cousin ( s ). He gave me the name and phone number of the person to send the money. I attempted to send {$450.00} to the name given XXXX XXXX. Immediately after sending I received XXXX saying the funds were not transferred as part of a security safeguard. Upon receiving this XXXX the acquaintance stated it didn't go through and to try again. Once again another XXXX and it didn't work. The acquaintance told me the amount must be too big to transfer so he requested I send it in payments of {$250.00} and {$200.00}. One again the same XXXX message. So at this point I said I could bring cash. The acquaintance replied it had to be sent electronically to hold the items. This is when I realized this might be a scam. I immediately contacted my bank ( in which zelle is linked ) and tried to hold payments if any actually went through. It was a Friday evening and I could not reach anyone. We finally got through to the bank the next day. They said we might have caught the transfer in time but no promises. Two weeks went by and we received a letter from our bank that all 4 attempted transfer went through for a total of {$1300.00}. I reached out to my acquaintance XXXX XXXX  ( once I tracked it down ) and asked if he was aware of the scam in his name. He said he alerted XXXX several days earlier but nothing has been done. I also reported this to XXXX who finally took down the Scam content late Saturday XX/XX/scrub>XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I was in a forbearance contract with AmeriSave for 6 months due to loss of job and unemployment running out. My contract recently expired and due to getting a new job Im able to start to make my monthly payments. On my credit report its now showing that Im 120 deliquent and 30 days late. Which also incorrect. I've requested AmeriSave to fix the problem because when I was in forbearance there wasn't any negative remarks or getting my credit cards closed. Now my credit is XXXX. That being said, my 6 month payments are being tacked on to the end of my mortgage, so there isnt any deliqauent or late payments. I made my first payment in XXXX, and will be making another one in a few days for XXXX. I've never had XXXX credit and its really affecting my emotional tress level.

Complaint narrative:
On my credit record is an erroneous foreclosure for a loan that does NOT belong to me. My XXXX XXXXXXXX took out a mortgage with a lender and after her death the paper was sold on that loan. While her estate was in litigation, I contacted the mortgage company advising them of XXXX XXXX and that the estate was in litigation. While going through the legal system, I told the mortgage company that I would have pay on the loan rather than allow it to go into foreclosure. Although I was under NO legal obligation to do so, I continued to pay on the loan. After XXXX of litigation with no resolution in sight, I could no longer justify paying on my mother 's loan. I notified the mortgage company that I would no longer make payments on the loan and foreclosure steps were initiated by the mortgage company. The estate was finally settled 3 years after her death when a buyer for the property was secured paying off the loan avoiding a foreclosure sheriff 's sale. My mother 's executor handled that transaction but my name was used to file a negative report with all of the credit bureaus. I have tried every avenue to have this negative report removed from my credit and all have failed.
