Company: ERC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My personal information was compromised in 2013 and there have been consistent attempts of ID theft over the past few years. It has been realized that my information was used to obtain services with this service provider. I do not know what type of services were applied for and I have tried to speak with the debt collection company but no remedy has been given. 

I have never had or applied for service with this company and I have no reason too. I have never authorized any person to use my personal information to acquire an account with this service provider and therefore I request full validation of this account. I require the application and identification used to open this account so that it can be brought forward as evidence in my ID Theft compliant with both the CFPB and the FTC as well as law enforcement.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: RUSHMORE LOAN MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Rushmore Loan Management is trying to collect on a debt that is n't theirs to collect and it also does n't exist. Rushmore Loan Management has that my mortgage is one month behind due to not paying a payment to XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. 

Please note, Rushmore began servicing of the loan as of XX/XX/XXXX. They are trying to collect a debt that is n't owed because XXXX XXXX XXXX made an adjustment to the loan due to a mortgage modification. 

Rushmore also has an incorrect loan balance from the beginning of the loan. If anything, they owe me money. I 'm attaching the loan transfer information. It has the proof of date that Rushmore began servicing loan. I 'm also attaching XXXX XXXX XXXX 's final statement, dated for XX/XX/XXXX payment. It shows a final principle balance of {$100000.00} ( I circled it ). The statement does not show any late payments. It actually shows " unapplied funds '' which Rushmore does n't show on their records.
Rushmore shows in there records of a beginning balance of {$100000.00}, I circled that too. The unapplied funds which Rushmore does n't show on my account is {$490.00} which was actually sitting on account prior to filing a bankruptcy. It should actually be applied to the principle on my loan cause technically I 'm out of Bankruptcy now. This unapplied funds can easily be viewed on the XXXX  XXXX XXXX final statement. You can also note my final payment to XXXX XXXX XXXX which was applied XX/XX/XXXX. There are no missing payments reflected on the statement. 

Rushmore is in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting act on trying to fraudulently collect a debt, putting my loan in a false default and I think their in violation of insurance fraud because I think they have fraudulently collected on mortgage DEFAULT insurance. I 've tried to correct this so many times with Rushmore by even reconciling their statements for them. 

I want my loan taken out of default. They should also be assessed each individual {$1000.00} for each occurrence for violation of the Fair Credit Reporting act and they should be investigated by the appropriate agency regarding mortgage loan servicing fraud. 
Please see the attachments. Please also note, I circled all the payments made to Rushmore that are noted in their own records. You will see, I have n't missed a payment. 
Thanks, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
A number of months ago I paid off a {$11000.00} balance on my XXXX XXXX XXXX. Transunion never reported the payment on my credit report. I submitted a request to Transunion to inquire/correct the balance. Instead, Transunion improperly deleted the entire account, adversely affecting my credit history by deleting the longest open account. They told me to ask the creditor to report the account to them. I did that and was told it was reported to Transunion, but the account remains unlisted. 
Also, XXXX sold all of it 's XXXX credit card accounts to XXXX XXXX XXXX, transferring balances. ALL the credit reporting agencies incorrectly report account history starting from date account was transferred from XXXX to XXXX instead of from start of XXXX account. In my case, XXXX was opened in XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX replaced it in XX/XX/XXXX, incorrectly deleting 7 years of open account history and adversely affecting credit scores.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I got an email offer for getting XXXX after {$5000.00} spend on XXXX XXXX 2017. I enrolled in the offer on XXXX XXXX 2017 and got a confirmation email shortly after I was enrolled. Then I spent some time completing the spending requirements. During this time I got couple more emails reminding me to put spend on this card to get the bonus points. However, I did n't get any bonus points after I completed the spending. I called American Express to submitted a claim regarding my missing rewards. Then I was told that the deadline for enrolling is XXXX XXXX, 2017, which I missed ( expiration date for enrollment was written on the side with smaller font, easy to miss ). However, I did n't get multiple confirmation email after my enrollment. I understand that I should be enrolled within the time frame to get the offer, but it is clearly American Express ' mistake to send out multiple confirmation email to remind to spend the required amount. Thus, I feel I should be rewarded for the offer. I talked to a couple rep from American Express, but they all refused to help me. I 've put a lot of my everyday spend on this card and always appreciate the good customer service from American Express. But I have to say that this experience is such a disappointment to me.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have recently opened a Capital One account online and attempted to add my spouse to the account today. I had followed the directions posted on the Capital One website and did not see the option to select add a new account holder as described. When I called to find out what I might be doing wrong, I was advised that I was not doing anything wrong and the option had been disabled on their site. They were working to have it brought back and would hopefully have it done within the next month. I asked if there was any other way I could add my spouse, manual or even visiting a branch and was told this was not an option. There would be no way to add anyone to the account unless this technology was added back. 

I am concerned that this limitation has put my families well being in jeopardy if I choose to continue to leave my money here and something were to happen to me over the period of time while the technology is being upgraded. It seems there should be a " plan b '' to service the customer when they have chosen to disable this method temporarily.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
I went into XXXX XXXX, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, MA XXXX, to look at a few mattress options for potential purchase. The salesperson, purporting to be the store owner, showed us a few mattresses. He then asked if he could run my credit to see if financing was available. He took that information orally and typed into the computer. At no point was I shown, nor did I sign, any paperwork agreeing to be extended a line of credit, or signing up for a credit card. I left the store without purchasing a mattress. Today, I opened my mail and found that I have been signed up for a Synchrony credit card without my knowledge and against my will.

Company: Receivables Performance Management, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I received a debt collection notice for {$1500.00} for a closed XXXX cellular account. This debt, however, was paid via XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. Initially, XXXX did not provide me with a closing bill ( the process took 6 weeks and a complaint to the California Public Utilities Commission before they finally sent it to me via email ). Since I was set-up on " auto-pay '' with XXXX, they charged my XXXX on file - which I charged back with my card issuer while the final amount/bill were in dispute. Upon receipt of the bill, I reversed the chargeback in full ( {$1500.00} ) with my XXXX XXXX and have a statement to that effect. 

I have contacted XXXX corporate no less than 10 times via email, explaining the situation, providing statement copies and a transaction number - only to have XXXX tell me that they " never received the payment ''. XXXX maintains the transaction went through on their end - and again - provided me with a transaction # and confirmation code. To date, two weeks into the dispute process, I have not been given anything further - other than threats of further collection efforts and damage to my credit. I need the CFPB to please intervene here. I am willing and able to produce all documentation, including the endless email trail with XXXX, to prove that my final bill was paid - IN FULL.
