Complaint narrative:
I had a home equity loan from XXXX XXXX XXXX that got forgiven due to the department of Justice lawsuit. All XXXX credit bureaus are reporting every month that I have not paid and I 'm past due. I have provided them with the letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX stating that there is not a balance on this account and that it is not past due, but they are not correcting my report, and every month they are reporting me more and more late ( over 30, 60, 90, etc ). I got denied a business loan because of this and it has damaged my credit. I want this account deleted immediately and I do n't know who to contact.

Complaint narrative:
Wells Fargo Bank ( WFB ). I scheduled my mortgage payment like I do every month. I find today that two mortgage payments have been debited to my checking account and an additional one ( for 3 total ) is pending. I only authorized one payment from online bill pay at WFB from my checking account. I keep my balance at checking balance at WFB at XXXX dollar over my mortgage amount of {$1100.00}. When I talked to the banking side of WFB they said one came from bill pay and one from an auto-pay on the mortgage side. WFB bank side transfers me to WFB mortgage side. WFB mortgage claims one payment was from their bill pay service ( which is the one I authorized ), one was entered online on their mortgage site ( I did not do thsi and am unaware that this could/can be done ). WFB mortgage also claims there is no auto=pay which the WFB baking side said was there and show no pending payment ( see atatched screen shot image ). The problem is that the second payment caused an overdraft transfer from my credit card with WFB. If the third pending also hits it will generate another overdraft. This seems to be more of the shady business practices of WFB. Although I have not seen any fees associated with these over draft transfer yet I suspect I will. At any rate it seems WFB has no idea what one hand or the other is doing and just pulls explanations out of thin air. They should at least consult on what lie there going to tell a customer. I never, NEVER use auto-pay on anything. WFB can see that I have been making my mortgage payment using their bill pay service and that I keep {$100.00} in the checking account. Can you rattle their cage please?

On my credit report showed debt owed that was not mine. I do n't think about checking my credit report since I keep up with what I spend or bills I have. So sad and very upset this has happened. Would not have known, but looking for a house and lender spotted it. Today i spoke with a representative about filing a complaint. She was extremely kind. Three hours later! So glad she was out there to help!! Now though it hurts the interest rate locked in we can get for the house. Be wise and and put checking your credit SCORE on your to do list!!! Most definitely.There are more steps to take in making this good. Hoping and praying they make it right!!

Complaint narrative:
I have previously disputed the response from experian but i happened to notice on rereading it they say a creditor can report on an account from the filing date to the discharge date.This has been proved wrong by case law and a ruling against them in particular.In white vs experian they were ordered by the judge as to how to mark these accounts.Also when you file bankruptcy the automatic stay goes into effect immediately and any credit account no longer has a specific payment date.The plan in a chapter XXXX sets the date and whether a creditor or a cras agreement is irrelevant.This once again proves this enterprise needs to be run by a government agency and not be a privately held company.I will be writing my congressman and my ag about these very things.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX of XXXX I cancelled phone service with XXXX after 10 years as they were very rude to my wife and I and very unresponsive to numerous issues over that last 12 month period of service. I had moved my primary phone to XXXX in XXXX of XXXX due to service issues, and left XXXX lines with XXXX hoping they would improve there service. We were on month to month service plan and there was not a fee for canceling or moving service to another carrier. We paid our final XXXX bill for service in XXXX of XXXX when it came in. 

Then XXXX charged a cancellation fee of {$350.00} but never sent a bill to me. I did not owe a cancellation fee since we were on month to month service agreement. I did not find out about this until XXXX XXXX, XXXX when I ran an Experian credit report. XXXX had turned the bill over to XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX and they never sent me bill. I never received a bill regarding this from XXXX, and did not receive anything from XXXX XXXX XXXX until I called them and paid them in full on XXXX XXXX, XXXX after tracking down a phone number and verifying what it was about. XXXX sent me confirmation of payment in full on XXXX. I paid it to simply get it off my record. I did not owe it in the first place. XXXX Instead of trying to provide adequate service to a long term customer, came up with a cancellation fee that did not apply in my case. And damaged my credit thru XXXX of XXXX with a collection account from XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX has removed this from my file. I would like XXXX and Experian to remove XXXX XXXX XXXX from my credit file.

I have an item from XXXX XXXX out of XXXX XXXX, CA they are reporting that I owe almost {$2000.00} on an apartment lease and yet they will not provide the lease agreement. I know that I did not sign a lease agreement with them everything was under my wife 's name at the time and it should not be reflecting my credit at all. If they choose to place this on my credit report than they should be able to provide proof that I owe the debt. I have requested copies of said lease agreement from both the apartment complex and the collection agency and neither have responded to me. I feel that if they claim to have a debt with my name associated with than I have the right to at least see the proof behind it.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.

Complaint narrative:
There is a previous complaint about this company from me. I am writing because my parent 's savings account was levied by XXXX XXXX XXXX. The bank got their notice on XXXX XXXX, mine was n't mailed until XXXX XXXX. I received the paperwork on XXXX XXXX, and the money was already removed before I had the chance to file an exemption. I also filed an exemption with this company on XXXX XXXX, 2015. The savings account that was levied only has my name on it in case something should happen to my parents. We are clearing that end up at the bank, but the fact remains that I was NOT allowed proper time to file my exemption with them before they sent the form to the bank. This happened once before, years ago, and I did file a complaint. 

I have been making my payments. They claim they did not receive the XXXX payment, and I know the first XXXX payment did n't make it through the bank so I immediately re-issued the payment and then continued on in XXXX. Their amounts do not reflect the proper amount owed on the account. 

I KNOW that they have to provide me with enough time to file my exemption in the case of a garnishment or account levy. They will claim it was a different account number, however, all amounts show the SAME account number. I feel I am being harassed nonstop by these people, after we have made an agreement. Please make them STOP!!!!! I am TRYING to get this debt cleared up, repeated attacks from them after we made an agreement are not helping!!!!! 

I am attaching documentation, however, I am not attaching every receipt, as you have all of that from my previous claim and I doubt that you want to read through it all again. I WILL provide it if necessary. I have provided the garnishment/levy notice, the date it was postmarked, the date the funds were levied from my PARENT 'S account and the original settlement letter. Please let me know if you need anything else. 

Thank you so much for your time!

Company: Argon Credit
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
Took out this loan with Argon Credit back in XXXX 2015 to cover medical expenses for my husband. The application stated the interest rate would be no more than 5 % when consumer applied ; however, the interest rate was not revealed until the final signing of the loan. Consumer discovered the interest rate was 89 % on a {$2000.00} loan. This is in violation of the Usury law of the state of Alabama. Consumer has made a previous complaint with CFPB about Argon Credit, and the interest rate was decreased to 79 %. Consumer has made XXXX payments of {$190.00}, totaling {$1500.00}, but the balance is showing {$1600.00} with the majority of the payment going toward interest. Consumer disagree with this balance. Under Alabama usury law, the balance should be {$470.00} because the interest rate charged by Argon Credit is in violation -- balance due {$2000.00}, only. The balance increases enormously every month instead of decreasing. Argon Credit is using Private Payment Services to debit my account, and when consumer calls, XXXX XXXX XXXX refuses to give a payoff balance. The phone reps go into great lengths to avoid giving consumers this information. I have contacted Argon Credit several times about this interest rate violation, but just sends out a generic response.
