Company: Prosper Marketplace, Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Prosper Loans is illegally reporting a past debt that is over 10 years old and I filed bankruptcy on to the credit bureaus. They are changing the dates to make it look like a more current loan so they can keep it negative on my credit. I filed bankruptcy on this debt 10 years ago and even the bankruptcy has been removed from my credit due to reporting time limit of ten years. I contacted prosper and they refuse to fix it and said to contact credit bureaus but they do n't do anything as. Prosper continues to report the debt and did so XX/XX/2016 as seen on the attached screenshot. I just wonder how many other people they have illegally done this too.

Company: KEYCORP
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting a third complaint against Key Bank. I have had excessive over draft fees taken out of my checking account in the past several months. Though it 's difficult to decipher, It looks like I moved XXXX $ to my son 's Hassle Free Account which is connected to my basic checking and that this bounced my checking account though my account was not overdrawn at all until this showed up in the ledger this morning. I have attached the forms which shows that '' Items pad that overdrew your account '' XXXX I was not overdrawn. The ledger does not reflect at any time that my account was negative. The way that Key Bank manages their accounting is not ethical. There is a note that says that Pending Items are not subject to overdraft fees but they do affect available balance. The available balance on Key Bank Accounts needs to be accurate and up to date. Key Bank is notorious for this kind of unethical accounting. This makes XXXX overdrafts fees of XXXX that I have incurred since XXXX XXXX. That is excessive overdrafting. If the bank and the CFP_ look at my attached documentation, you can see that I use this account, I have direct deposits going into this account. The money flows are consistent. The only reason my account overdrafts is the way that Key Bank debits the account. Their methods for iincurring these fees are especially effective with folks like me whose accounts become very low between pay checks. Oh and there is one more thing that has happened to me. Not only am I being punished for Key Banks Magical Accounting Methods, but now when I want to make a deposit into my account, the tellers have to ask for an override to be able to deposit money into my account. They ask for an override and a manager has to come to the desk and allow them to deposit my money. So I am not only financially punished but I am infantalized and embarrassed in the process. All of these overdrafts and this infantalizing are causing me XXXX as I ca n't afford for this to happen over and over again. I also am taking valuable time out of my day to write these complaints which is affecting my ability to do my work.

Company: RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC

Complaint narrative:
I purchased my home in XXXX of XXXX and since RoundPoint received my account in XXXX of XXXX it has been a complete mess the first year RoundPoint tied my account up with another persons and paid from my escrow account a resident in XXXX County 's taxes and never paid my XXXX County and City of XXXX XXXX taxes and I did not find out until I got an outstanding bill from XXXX County and the City of XXXX XXXX, I called them and they assured me this would not happen again and that they had my account all cleared up. The very next year Round Point failed to pay my taxes for either yet again and I ended up paying 2 years of taxes in 1 year to catch up after I got a foreclosure notice due to their failure to pay the taxes that I pay into every month through my house payments. Now this year again i emailed them my tax bill due ion XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and I go online to check my account and they have again not paid my taxes but paid someone else 's taxes in XXXX County totaling {$1000.00} out of my escrow again and still have n't paid my City of XXXX taxes of {$410.00}. At this point I have been burnt 3 times by this same company and I have been more than patient with them and for this company to not handle my account in the proper manner I need my mortgage moved from underneath this company there is no repairing this mess and unprofessional behavior. I am so frustrated and disappointed not to mention very angry that they have paid another persons taxes out of my escrow for a second time is just unbelievable! this is my second time I am making a formal complaint against this company I want to move my mortgage for good no action can repair this incompetence.

Repeated calls to a number that is not mine, and I have asked them to remove the number from the file. I offered a different number that they could call daily if needed.

Company: RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
When my loan was sold to my current mortgage company they did not transfer over the Hazard/Fire/Real Property insurance policy document which I supplied when the loan was originated. When my current mortgage company sent me a letter asking for the insurance evidence on XX/XX/XXXX I asked my HOA 's insurance representative to FAX them the information and send me an email copy at the same time on XX/XX/XXXX. The HOA insurance representative promptly faxed the evidence to my mortgage company as requested on XX/XX/XXXX. I have the emails to prove it. In XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from my mortgage company asking for the same evidence of insurance again. At this point I gave the mortgage company the HOA 's insurance representative 's contact information and I was told that it would be taken care of or else I would receive another phone call. Instead of a phone call I received a bill in XXXX for lender force placed insurance policy of over {$2000.00} dollars. I called back right away trying to clarify but was told that they are still talking to the HOA representative about the paper work. At the same time I found out that I could email them a copy of the insurance document myself so I sent my mortgage company an email with the insurance evidence attached right away. On XX/XX/XXXX I received another letter from my mortgage company saying that they are about to renew the lender force placed insurance on my property. I called right away on XX/XX/XXXX and was told by the representative that they are now seeking the XXXX term insurance evidence instead. I asked about the previous insurance evidence and was told by the representative that she was able to find the document in their system but it was n't attached to my loan. Because of the mortgage company 's incompetence I have been forced to pay for a redundant insurance policy of over {$2000.00} dollars for no reason. I believe my mortgage company ( Roundpoint Mortgage Servicing Corporation ) should be held responsible for their incompetence and the additional financial burden they have forcefully placed on me.

I spoke with XXXX XXXX, formerly known as XXXX XXXX and their affiliates XX/XX/XXXX about a discharged debt from XX/XX/XXXX that was placed in collections. This debt was filed in Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy as of XX/XX/XXXX, and discharged XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke to them and was advised to speak to the collections agency, and attorney that it was placed with, after speaking to the collection agency, i was advised that the debt was reporting correctly as discharged. I called them back and was advised that the supervisor would be assisting me in taking care of this situation. I tried to call her after a missed call, and never received another call. I received my consumer report from Microbilt and never received a response in regard to why this showing on my credit as well as why it still showing as a debt with XXXX XXXX ( better known as XXXX XXXX ). I 've recently spoken to XXXX XXXX who stated that they were not aware of this account being in bankruptcy, which is incorrect information they were informed months ago, as well as by me last month, and then blamed my attorney stating that they were n't able to contact him regarding the debt. Everyone received a letter from the court advising them of the discharged debt. XXXX XXXX aka XXXX XXXX is no exception. The person i spoke with the manager ( XXXX ) who had a very distasteful attitude with me, because i was upset about her disregard for the fact that the company was very aware of the CHXXXX and been given time between my call early last month, as well as my dispute, still i have not received a solution.

Company: Williams & Fudge, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX of this year, I filed for Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy relief, and included a {$1500.00} debt from Texas XXXX University, which I incurred from dropping courses after the withdrawal date. This debt was appropriately included in my Chapter XXXX schedule F, and discharged by the presiding judge on XXXX the XXXX. Today, XXXX the XXXX, I received an alert via my credit monitoring service informing me that I now have a collection on my XXXX report from the Williams and Fudge agency for a {$1900.00} debt to Texas XXXX University. I was unable to attain auto financing due to this open collection with a high reported balance. My XXXX score dropped XXXX points once this collection account was added. I placed a phone call, left a voicemail, sent an email with attached copies of my Chapter XXXX petition, schedules, and discharge to Williams and Fudge. I also sent a dispute along with all of my BK documents XXXX. Now I have to wait a month or so for this inaccuracy to be investigated. This school debt comprised one of the largest balances of any of my debts, and was a significant factor in my decision to file for bankruptcy. My credit report has rightfully suffered from the bankruptcy filing. I should not be further penalized by having collections reported on debts that were discharged in the case. I advise anyone who files for bankruptcy to keep diligent records of every debt, payment history, and communication with your creditors. Receiving a bankruptcy discharge does not mean your case is over or that you wo n't be hit with attempts to collect your debt at a later date. Sadly, a collection agency can inflict serious damage upon your credit report overnight, while it will take you a month or more to dispute, verify, and defend your credit score when inaccuracies are reported.

I contacted ENHANCED RECOVERY COMPANY and they can not find any information with my name or social in their system and told me to contact XXXX. After speaking with XXXX, they also can not find any information under my name or social. I disputed this with the credit bureaus. XXXX is the only credit reporting agency that wo n't remove this from my credit. Equifax has already done so. I have emailed XXXX proof of communication with the collection company showing that they can not find anything under my name. This company ENHANCED RECOVERY COMPANY, keeps reporting on my credit each month for a collection even they said I do n't owe and XXXX is allowing this.

Complaint narrative:
Enhanced Recovery Company is once again reporting on my credit profile for a debt that I do not believe to be my debt. If this debt were mine once again I need to be served with a dunning notice before a debt appears on my credit profile. I have not received a dunning notice nor have I received any verifiable proof of this debt linking this debt to me. It seems as if this company simply creates their own rules and do not follow federal or state guidelines. By law I can not have accounts on my credit profile that do not belong to me nor should I have debts on my credit profile that can not be verified. If this continues to happen I will be forced to take this process a step further in regards to the law and seek legal counsel about this company ruining my credit.
