Company: Lien Receivables LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Employees of Lien Recievables LLC have been harassing myself and my father for a debt collection involving another person. The debt in question is related to someone who had their car towed. I have never owned or registered a car. They started with calling my father last week after they were not able to reach me and he explained that they had the wrong person. They also contacted my mother. Then today they sent me & my father threats of legal action and the documentation of the tow and subsequent lien via text message. The documentation makes it abundantly clear that they are harassing the wrong person. Besides the fact that I have never owned a car, the name, addresses and locations do not match up with any of my information in any way. I told them again that they had the wrong person.

Company: Grow Credit Inc
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I opened a Grow Credit account in 2022 after seeing an advertisement on the internet saying how this app could boost your credit. In rebuilding my credit from filing bankruptcy I always like to try little things that will continue to give me a boost. This service has absolutelty been the worst thing in my life. After reviewing my credit report in preperation for trying to buy a home I noticed I now have 3 negative reports on my credit and the account is still open after asking for it to be closed and for my reporting to be corrected. This app uses the XXXX system to connect your bank acccount and it consistently disconnects. I recall having to reconnect my bank account roughly every month although it was on autopay. I also was told that if your balance is low they will notifiy you a couple days before the payment is to come out. First of all I am specific of the account I connect to apps and I move money around all the time. There was more than enough to cover the payment for this account and if it wasn't it would pull from the account connected for overdraft. As a banking professional thats why they invented OVERDRAFT PROTECTION! These late payments are effecting me in a major way and I am requesting they be removed from each credit bureau using the XXXX system for accuracte reporting which will push out to all the credit bureaus and by pass the normal 30 day waiting periodt if done in another manner outside of this.

Company: Caliber Home Loans, Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I initially sent XXXX the 2021 taxes with the understanding they were not filed, and the schedule C could change depending on accurate receipt count. XXXX failed to perform her due diligence and as a result the SC First Time Home Buyer Program, and the money needed for closing until the week of our set closing date. Nonetheless she continued to pitch and sell the idea to us, having us complete and wait for something for which we were never qualified. My issue with Caliber was not the information requested but their lack of fact checking and ensuring that we could close within a reasonable period.
