Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I've been tirelessly attempting to rectify a fraudulent account linked to XXXX XXXX  on my credit report, to no avail. This account is not associated with me. Despite numerous phone calls, letters, and other efforts spanning several months, XXXX XXXX  remains unresponsive to the grave error of an unauthorized credit card appearing on my report. This oversight has adversely affected my credit score to the point where I'm unable to secure a home. 

It's disheartening to witness large corporations seemingly overlooking the concerns of individual consumers. I earnestly hope the CFPB can intervene to correct this mistake, allowing me to move forward in my life. The apparent oversight on XXXX XXXX  's part has significant repercussions on my credit health. Given that my attempts to communicate with XXXX XXXX  have been unproductive, I believe that seeking the CFPB 's assistance might be my only recourse.

Complaint narrative:
For several months, I've been attempting to address an incorrect account linked with HUNTER WARFIELD ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX ) on my credit report. Despite my exhaustive efforts, which include numerous calls and letters, the problem persists. This misattributed account has detrimentally impacted my credit score, preventing me from securing a home loan. 

Feeling overlooked and unheard by a major corporation is disheartening. Given the unresponsiveness of HUNTER WARFIELD ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX ), I'm reaching out to the CFPB. I trust in their capability to address and rectify such discrepancies, as my direct efforts with the bank have proven fruitless.

Complaint narrative:
I was ripped off is what happened. In 2014 I needed a car. Found a place that works with you they go thru credit acceptance. It was a lemon had nothing but problems with the car. Contacted the dealer multiple times to make it right. And he refused to. I called credit acceptance to complain. They said too bad I didnt call before the first 30 days were up that I signed contract cause I couldve returned car without being held responsible for paying for the car. But because it was after 30 days I still had to pay for it. Nobody tells you that in the first place. I felt like I had no choice so i paid for the repairs. I kept paying payments then few months later or so the transmission went. I was so fed up I called credit acceptance and told them to come get the car. I was surrendering it. They told me they would sell car at auction and I would have to pay remaining balance. months later I was finally sent a letter saying they sold the car for {$1.00} and I owed them approximately {$3600.00} I wasnt paying that much for a lemon. I had already pd thousands towards it between payments and repairs. They send it to collections and this lawyer was gon na submit paperwork to garnish my wages so I agreed to start paying. I didnt pay much but tough times happened and couldnt pay anymore. Then I get a letter from local sheriffs department saying they are involved and if I dont pay they were garnishing my wages. So I paid little more. Again I couldnt keep up. Today I was contacted by HR that the sheriff dept did place a wage garnishment against me, gon na start taking 10 % every 2 weeks starting next week. I feel so disgusted I was ripped off from the beginning. Shame on credit acceptance for completely taking advantage of people who thought it was legit and not making it right. I cant afford what theyre doing to me. how do I get thru this?

Company: Sequium Asset Solutions, LLC
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
I opened an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX several years ago. On or around XX/XX/2023, I suffered financial hardship due to health issues and could not keep up with and pay my monthly payments. I called up XXXX around this time and was placed into what I thought was a deferment program. XXXX stated that I would not have to make any payments until XX/XX/2023 and that my past-due balance would not be due until XXXX. By enrolling into this program, XXXX validated several times that I was protected from being sent to collections. 

On or around XX/XX/2023, I contacted XXXX about the past due balance that I owed them, and we came to an agreement/settlement that the {$300.00} past due balance would be settled for {$260.00} ( please see documents of this being paid in attachments ). From there, I thought that my account was taken out of deferment and was reactivated. 
On or around XX/XX/2023, I received a letter in the mail from Sequium Asset Solutions , LLC. They stated that I owed them for this XXXX Account for the debt that I had settled with XXXX on XX/XX/2023. I immediately called XXXX and spoke to several customer reps and supervisors ; none of them had any record of this debt being sold to Sequium Asset Solutions. After several hours on the phone with XXXX, they stated that my account ending in XXXX was current and no prior debts were due from the deferment. 
I then called Sequium Asset Solutions ; upon speaking with them, they refused to acknowledge that my debt was already settled with XXXX, and insisted that I owed them the {$300.00} with an additional {$260.00} in fees. Upon speaking with them, they stated that failure to pay these debts that had already been paid and that they would take legal action if necessary. They refused even to consider that I had already settled these debts with XXXX. I then said I would take this matter to the CFPB, in which they hung up on me.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I use bill pay through my XXXX XXXX online bank account and three of my recent payments to Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing have mysteriously taken 18 days to arrive and are " late ''. There is absolutely no way the payments have taken 18 days to get from California to Ohio. XXXX XXXX bank sends the check for my three mortgages, and the other two arrive within four days. All three times, the Shellpoint mortgage shows clearance after one week. The last one I made for my XXXX payment, I purposely sent on XX/XX/2023. It appears that they receive the checks and cash them after the due date in order to collect late payments. Each time, after the XXXX of the month, I have received a letter in the mail claiming that my payment is delinquent and that they tried numerous times to contact me. Nobody ever tried once to contact me. I run multiple businesses and take all calls, even if it says potential spam on my phone. Therefore, I know with 100 % certainty that they never tried to contact me for my " late '' payment that they received but instead, stalled on cashing the checks. Each time I have had to call and beg to get the fee waived.
