My credit score was reduced by XXXX points because I had 2 new credit cards with a small {$150.00} balance on each. I immediately paid my balance to XXXX and because I reduced my debt ( duh ) I was penalized XXXX points. Wow, this is what Americans should be doing. You pay your debt and get penalized. This should be criminal. They have no response because the computer program did it. Ive been fighting hard to improve my credit just to keep getting knocked down by doing good smart and responsible payment practices. XXXX is a XXXX to responsible practices.

Complaint narrative:
I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 30 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the XXXX, Experian and XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have not used my Discover card for a very long time, at least 2 years. I ended up freezing the account because there was an XXXX charge that kept recurring that I was unable to stop. I was unable to stop it because it was tied to an old email that I couldn't gain access to again. Then I ended up seeing an email where there was a balance on my discover card, due to the same XXXX charge, but my account should have been frozen. I froze the account again and paid the amount, but Discover reported it as a late payment on my credit report. I have been in good standing with them the entire time I have been a customer, and would like to have that derogatory mark remove from my credit report. This derogatory mark is keeping me from obtaining financing and I would very much appreciate the help getting this removed.

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
For about 2 years I have been working with the XXXX credit card fraud department and the collections agency that XXXX retained to collect reimbursement for the debt. Around {$300.00} was fraudulently charged to my XXXX credit card a couple years ago, and although XXXX confirmed it was identity theft and found me not responsible for the debt, they still sent it to a collections agency, Midland Credit Management. XXXX gave me the run around for a year and a half, which eventually led to two derogatory marks being reported on my credit report for the same debt. 

I eventually reported this to the credit bureau directly, who removed the derogatory mark from XXXX but would not remove Midland Credit from my credit report. I then contacted Midland Credit directly and was given a fax number to send in documentation proving I am not responsible for the debt. I sent this documentation on XX/XX/2023 and received confirmation that my fax was sent. Since then, I received a letter from Midland Credit acknowledging my claim and informing me that they were still reviewing it. However, in the last couple of months I have now started receiving emails from InDebted on behalf of Midland Credit, still trying to collect the debt. At this point, I have done everything I can to try and resolve this but no one is helping me and I keep getting the run around. I don't know what else to do!

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue related to modification, forbearance, short sale, deed-in-lieu, bankruptcy, or foreclosure
Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
My loan was in default in 2010 due to the great recession and housing market crash. My HOA foreclosed and the property was vacant for 2 years. My mortgage servicer sent me a letter saying I was approved for a loan modification, on the condition that I successfully made XXXX trial modification payments and entered credit counseling. First I had to buy back the property from the XXXX, the new owner, which I did at great expense to me, relying on the lender 's promises. I did everything that was required of me. After 9 months of accepting my payments, I received a letter saying I was not eligible for the modification because the property " is '' vacant. I actually lived in the property, they were mistaken. They told me I owed all the back payments, including the forebearance amount they reversed, or I would be in default. I appealed this decision. They illegally entered my property ( trespassed ) while I was at work, with no notice and no warning, and no foreclosure pending, and changed the locks. They locked my pets inside and me out. Then they refunded all my payments, forcing me into default, filed a new foreclosure action. 

They made the mistake, and they have admitted they made the mistake. They knew the property had been vacant before the modification because the offer letter was sent to a different address than the property address AND they had been making periodic/monthly? inspections of the vacant property for 2 years. 

My position is that if a mistake was made, it was the lender 's mistake and not my mistake and I should not be penalized. We have been fighting over this for XXXX years now. Now they have demanded repayment of the principal, interest and all the litigation expenses they have incurred as a result of THEIR mistake and my attempt to get them to reinstate the modification. The balance that started as {$99000.00} is now over {$170000.00} through no fault of mine. They refuse to negotiate in good faith to resolve THEIR mistake.
