Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Paying off the loan
Company: WEBSTER BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, my friend set up a living will so that I would receive his house upon his death : The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. ( I had given him considerable financial help over the years, including paying mortgages arrearages of {$100000.00} in XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX, a debt collector ). Just before Barrys passing in XXXX of this year, I paid XXXX the remaining balance of the mortgage : {$130000.00}. I then put the house on the market and had a signed contract in XXXX. A month into the closing process, the title search comes back saying there is another mortgage on the house of {$190.00}, XXXX from XXXX!!! ( XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, XXXX, CT. account no XXXX ). In the 15 years I had known XXXX, he never once mentioned the name Webster Bank. In addition, I removed at least XXXX bankers boxes of paper from his home, many going back decades : not a single document from XXXX. In addition, I picked up his mail for 8 months while he was sick and in hospice, and absolutely no communication from Webster. At the closing on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, after the payment to Webster, I received proceeds of {$180000.00}. Yep, I paid out {$230000.00} and got back {$180000.00}. 

As you can see, had I known about the Webster Bank mortgage ahead of time, I could walked away from the house and saved my self {$51000.00}!! Does Webster have any responsibility at all for this? Are they required to keep in touch with a borrower at all? Monthly? Yearly? If you ask them, would they be required to tell you when they last sent correspondence to XXXX? Is there any kind of statue of limitations on anything?

Company: Radius Global Solutions LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
In the beginning of XX/XX/year>. I noticed that the XXXX agency listed a collection against my credit report by the Radius Global Solution collection agency based in XXXX MN. I promptly disputed the collection through XXXX and after 1 day I received a report that determined that this was a legitimate debt. When I asked about any details about this debt or how XXXX determined that it was a " legitimate debt '' the representative explained that they are only a reporting bureau and not the agency itself. Realizing that representative probably knew nothing besides what was on the computer screen I asked the representative for the contact information which she gave me. I then called the Radius Global Solution agency and I explained the situation. First, the representative explained that the account name ( listed as my nickname ) was the wrong name. I explained that I have gone through this farce over 4 times with collections agencies and credit bureaus. I politely suggested that she speak to her supervisor on this matter as to how to proceed because if I could not get the information needed to clear my credit report then I will be forced to pursue legal action. After a few moments, the Radius Global Solution representative gave me the account number of the collection, the original creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX cable and the address that the cable was receiving the cable service ( an apartment in Texas and I live in NJ ). After this she explained how I could go to XXXX XXXX XXXX directly and explain that I was victim of fraud. XXXX XXXX XXXX 's process requires me to provide a police report of fraud and documentation that I was residing in. It almost seems to me that XXXX XXXX XXXX is attempting to make it so difficult that a person will just settle and they or the collections agency can make a few bucks in the process. Needless to say, they chose the wrong person.

Complaint narrative:
I called into the XXXX Bank on XX/XX/year> at approximately XXXX ET. I showed a {$6000.00} " funds transfer debit to _XXXX '' on my checking account that was scheduled to go out on XX/XX/year> and called to report that this transaction was not initiated by me or any signer on my account. I was transferred XXXX times. Each time I was transferred, I was told that the individual could not see the transaction that I was speaking of and they would need to send me to another department. After obtaining the fifth agent, they explained to me that the bank had implemented a code change and that it was causing errant transactions that were not correct to show up on customers accounts. I asked to be provided with some proof or notice that this was the case in writing as I know that the bank would hold me liable if our conversation was not documented or I had some way of proving this was not a transaction I had initiated. I was told that this was not possible. I then asked to speak with a supervisor and was also told that there were none available that I could speak with. After insisting, the agent became adamant that I would not be able to speak with anyone else. I gave up in frustration.

Complaint narrative:
This debt collector has engaged in practices that violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). They have reported an account that I did not consent to, and there is no signed agreement from me authorizing it. A valid legal contract requires the signatures of both parties, and I was not involved in such an agreement. Furthermore, they failed to adhere to the proper 5-step validation process as mandated by the FDCPA. These actions clearly infringe upon my rights under the law, and I am entitled to compensation for these violations. I demand the immediate removal of this accountfrommyrecord.
