Complaint narrative:
Hello, I have submitted a complaint regarding this issue once before a few months ago and it appeared to be resolved at that moment as I was told the collections would be removed and all was settled. Here we are now in XX/XX/XXXX and this same company has placed a collections back on my account under a different collections agency. They are harassing me and hindering my credit and I request this stop immediately. 

The new collection agencys name is : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Original Creditor name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Amount : {$2400.00} My original complaint regarding this issue is copied below for reference. 

Hello, so what happened was that I had an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX for Phone, cable and Internet. During the first month of the account, we learned we were being charged for 2-3 extra phone lines which increased our bill dramatically. After complaining about this issue ( and still paying so our service didn't go out ), they did not fix the issue and it persisted. At the start of the second month, my account went into fraud and my account was shut down, this is because the 2-3 extra phone lines that they added on my account were not being used ( for obvious reasons ) and if a phone line/sim is not used for a certain time, your account goes to fraud. I then had to prove to them that I was not committing fraud. They eventually solved the issue but could not renew my account as once it goes to fraud, it can not be opened. My services such as internet, cable and phone were all shut off and I had to go to a public library to even call them and try to resolve the issue. I then talked to someone via online chat box and after much deliberation they attempted to solve the issue and only have me pay what I owed that month which was about {$95.00}. I did pay and it was resolved only for a few days and then the whole account was suspended again due to non payment, this time the payment was well over {$1500.00} as when the account went into fraud, the payment plans I had on my phones were cancelled and they attempted to charge me for 2 brand new phones even though it was supposed to be only one new phone. I do have a copy of a transcript of the conversation I had with the agent and I do have the case # with XXXX in which I tried to solve. I refused to pay this as not only were they over charging me, they weren't even giving me service and charging me for things that were not even there. They would not help me over the phone after I tried multiple times and it came to the point where I had to leave and just find another provided. I refused to pay this amount and I told them why, but they just sent it to collections and thus my credit has been held XXXX since. ATT Case # : XXXX

Complaint narrative:
My home in XXXX XXXX Florida was declared a disaster area after Hurricane Irma. As such I was able to take a 90 day forbearance and was explicitly told by the lender, Ditech, that I would have no negative marks made against my credit. During the forbearance I sold the home and the mortgage was paid off in its entirety on XX/XX/2018. I entered into contract on a new home purchase today and when my credit was examine my score had dropped from XXXX to XXXX. The very same day I went under contract Ditech reported I was 90 days delinquent on the account. I am now unable to find the loan due to the huge impact their mistake had on my credit. PLEASE HELP!

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX once again made an error on my statement that they're blaming on XXXX because they don't want to fix it. They keep telling me give us a chance, when I do I get XXXX responses such as the letter attached. I do not have any interest free purchases with them anymore. The 2 I had in XX/XX/XXXX should've been paid off with many payments made to them by now. Recently I get a statement from them showing 2 with very high balances & 1 low that should've been paid off by now! I went onto their site to dispute it even sending the same statement I've attached to show them all of the info. They sent me back a generic response stating I need to send it in writing! Email with attachments is considered in writing if I am correct! This is once again their way of refusing to handle problems. I told them I'd report the issue to you to force them to once again respond as I had to the last time they gave me the run around back in XX/XX/XXXX. They asked that I give them a chance, then I received the attached letter which is exactly how they avoided handling the issue before! I'm sick of this co. and have decided once they're paid off this acct. will be closed! I have no desire to do business with those that try to pass the buck and refuse to resolve problems. They don't need my business and neither does XXXX. Neither is really that good at figuring out problems or correcting them so the complaint will be against both co. 's. This way XXXX will see I had to file 2 complaints about the same issues against XXXX because neither wants to take responsibility for doing things right. I've made my payments on time, have used the card responsibly yet both co. 's just pass the buck to avoid taking responsibility and accountability. I've had it with both and will do my shopping else where. Neither is the only game in town and just gets worse as time goes on. I want this mess corrected effective immediately. If they don't I'll sue both until one of them decides to step up and do the right thing! I don't do the no interest deals anymore because they don't credit them back properly when I return something. So when I did the last $ 500+ purchase back in XX/XX/XXXX, it took me coming to you to get them to fix it, that was it for me! Now I see another huge no interest deal on here that I know for a fact I didn't do???!!! Nope! Not putting up with it anymore. I said it before that I would close the account but gave them another chance, now that is the intent with no turning back. Neither co. deserves my business with the horrific service levels provided over the last year and going into XX/XX/XXXX. I refuse to do business with anyone that can't provide top notch customer service. This problem better get fixed or I'll see both in court!

Company: Kriya Capital, LLC
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I spoke on the phone on multiple occasions with XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX account representatives regarding the final bill I received in the amount of {$420.00}. 

Here is what transpired that led to the billing issue : 1 ) I called on Friday XX/XX/XXXX to cancel my XXXX  service at the end of my 2 year contract period which would be XX/XX/XXXX. When asked why, I said it was too expensive and we did not watch very much. The agent on the phone offered to greatly reduce the price and add XXXX XXXX. I said my family does not watch XXXX but might be interested in XXXX. After further discussion I agreed to accept continued service at a significantly reduced monthly cost plus the addition of XXXX coverage. At no time in this call was I informed I would be entering into an additional contract period. Nor was I informed that I would be losing XXXX coverage. 
2 ) That weekend, I discovered that I had lost XXXX coverage. On the next business day ( i.e. Monday XX/XX/XXXX ) I called back and said that the changes were not what I had expected and I wanted to go back to what I had originally intended which was to cancel my service at the end of my two year contract period XX/XX/XXXX. The agent tried to talk me out of it but I felt like I had been misled and did want further dealings so I was firm and said cancel at the end of my two year original contract. 
3 ) On Monday XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email from XXXX XXXX XXXX that was an order confirmation for the service I had agreed to the prior Friday. Their position appears to rest on that email informing me of my contract being extended. But their position is ludicrous since I canceled the order the same day i.e. the very next business day after I learned XXXX had been deleted. 

They have sent the bill to a collection agency who is contacting me repeatedly. I have let the collection agency know what transpired but they just sent back a response simply saying they contacted the creditor who maintains that I owe the money. They did not conduct any independent review of the validity of the amount being collected. 

This is false billing and I will not pay the early cancellation fee. I am concerned, however, that they will file a report with the credit agencies and damage my credit. Your assistance in the matter would be greatly appreciated as they clearly have no concern with maintaining fair and reasonable billing practices. 

I have also contacted the FCC regarding this matter.

Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for credit card with XXXX on their online website. I have an excellent credit rating of XXXX. On or around XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed in a letter that I was being denied credit due to the fact that I do not have a bank account with HSBC. There was no mention of this requirement whatsoever on their website. 

During the application process, I sent in my personal information. I believe it is unethical for a bank to ( 1 ) collect this information knowing I will be denied credit because I don't have a banking account with them. This should have been the first question on the application ; and ( 2 ) employ bait and switch tactics that imply that if I open a bank account, I will be approved for a credit card.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Due to the Equifax data breach, which according to their website both my husband and I appear to have been affected by, I have had to spend money and many hours of my limited personal time to pull credit reports, place credit freezes, set up credit monitoring, as well as other tasks to try and get ahead of the potential issues this could cause to my husband and I 's credit. We have worked very hard over the last decade to improve our credit and the continuous data breaches are disheartening ( the Equifax one being seemingly the worst yet ). There is also not a lot of confidence that Equifax truly knows how much data was actually taken, so now there are worries about my parents ' and my children 's credit. I also worry that even though we have frozen our credit, the same stolen data can still be used to unfreeze it. Cyber security needs to be taken much more seriously by the corporations of the world and I want to know how Equifax and the FTC are going to make this right and work to prevent future occurrences. Thank you for your time.

Equifax is still continuously reporting high incorrect balances and current balances are being changed from paid in full to high balance that is incorrect. I was never late on my XXXX account, and also you will see I have paid both accounts off in full. They do not allow the consumer to dispute online or via any way period. They are corrupt, along with XXXX, and XXXX. During the recent Government shut down, they especially took advantage of the down time, denying consumers access to reports, disputes, or any attempt period to have a fair credit report. I am trying to purchase a home for me and my family and they are purposefully at this point breaking the law by not allowing the consumer access to their own reports, along with no access to dispute incorrect information. This is how smart they are, you can't even pay to have access. LOL kind of defeats the purpose of being in business, or am I taking crazy pills here?

I've reported them to the BBB twice for their repeated & unwelcome solicitations. It stops for a few months then they go hire another illegal marketing firm to send more solicitations to nameless addresses to drum up business for their XXXX co.! They keep hiring illegal co. 's to buy my addresses & solicit me for accounts I have no interest in! I've done business with them in the past, they proved to not be worth it because their branch lines are slow, the terms aren't made clear on many things & complaints are not handled well. They just say " I'm sorry you feel that way '', that's all they know! I closed my accounts a year or more ago & refuse to have anything to do with them. Yet every so many months I keep getting their stupid solicitations that I didn't ask for nor did I give anyone permission to randomly use my address without my knowledge that includes the illegal marketing co. 's they & so many other XXXX business owners keep hiring! I received 2 of those begging solicitations onXX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX. What part of leave me alone is just not clear to them?! They need to know the info they're purchasing was done without the knowledge of consumers! Chase is on every corner. If we want to do business with them then we know how to find them! Otherwise if we haven't opened up an account then that means we don't want to! Get the hint & leave us be! They are the ONLY bank offering consumers $ $ to open accounts on unreasonable terms! I don't know anyone that has the kind of $ $ to throw into a savings account that they are asking for! They're unrealistic & insane! If you have to pay people to open accounts what does that say about your business model? I've not seen any bank do this before. I'm a happy XXXX XXXX customer & intend to keep it that way! They've done right by me & don't send me unwelcome solicitations via email or any other way. XXXX is the only pesky bank out there bothering people & it's because they know they XXXX! So does their horrible CEO!
