Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint about XXXX. I am preparing to buy a house. On XX/XX/2019, my lender ran a credit report and found a fraudulent charge. Enhanced Recovery Collection claimed I had an outstanding bill to XXXX of {$5500.00} that was sent to the collection agency. I have never used XXXX. I disputed it, thinking it would be simple for them to investigate and close, considering I have never used the service. On XX/XX/2019, I received a message from XXXX saying that the charge is accurate. I don't know how to prove that it isn't, considering I have no knowledge of this account, I've never used XXXX, and the charge is not mine. I very much need this fraudulent charge removed from my credit report.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, a bank-to-bank payment I scheduled through WellsFargo.com was processed incorrectly, causing my other bank to flag it is fraudulent. I contacted my other bank immediately, approving the charge, but as it had been blocked Wells Fargo suspended this account for transfers on XX/XX/XXXX, refusing to let me rectify my checking account balance OR pay my associated Wells Fargo Credit card. I contacted Wells Fargo on XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to have my Bank-to-bank payments reinstated for this account, but in all but one case I have received a canned response with a different name of a supposed " Wells Fargo Associate on it. '' The one time I did receive a personalized response, from XXXX XXXX, she still failed to actually read my message or make a relevant response, instead going of on a totally unrelated tangent. I have not been able to reach her since and none of the supposed " associated '' ( bots ) will respond to my followups.

Complaint narrative:
AD ASTRA RECOVERY SERVICE XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, KS XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX I have disputed this collection account on numerous accusations with the debt collector as well as the 3 major Credit Bureaus, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. On XX/XX/2010, I sent in documentation to the 3 bureaus above explaining that the information that this company is reporting on my credit is inaccurate. This debt collector is insisting that the information is valid and reports as it is verified as accurate. 

OnXX/XX/XXXX The first inaccuracy is the ACCOUNT NUMBER This company is reporting my account number as XXXX. How can this be a valid account number, if it is missing digits? 

The second inaccuracy is the Account Type. This company is reporting that this is an Open Account. How can a CLOSED COLLECTION account be an open account? That is not  possible. 

The next inaccuracy is the PAST DUE AMOUNT. This company is reporting that there is a past due amount owed on a collection account. How can you report a past due on a collection account? 

This company is reporting this INACCURATE information to all 3 Credit Bureaus. 

I know I have rights and I feel that this company is violating them.

Company: General Motors Financial Company, Inc.
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
My car was repossessed and then I paid the amount past due, next payment due and all fees totaling {$2100.00}. Bringing my acct completely current on XX/XX/XXXX. This included my XX/XX/2019 payment. 

Then 2 days ago I got a call saying my acct was past due for XXXX and XXXX. I had this investigated and the result was the system is applying payments incorrectly and they don't know why. It can not be fixed so they offered me a deferment of the 2 payments. I took this deferment so my credit isnt adversely affected any further. However, i paid XXXX payment already. Now I'm expected to pay it again at the end if the loan at 18 % interest. 

Their computer system is wrong and they are aware and not correcting this. 

How many other people has this happened to and how much money ate they making on interest by applying payments wrong. 

This is a major violation of the consumer rights! Please look into this!

Fraudulent credit card charges by a local criminal and on line. 

We are responding to your contact about collecting a debt. You contacted me by mail, on XX/XX/XXXX and identified the debt as an amount due of {$18000.00}. The terms of the agreement are unacceptable. This matter was disputed XX/XX/XXXX. Citi did not close the card and allowed fraudulent charges many months afterward. Citi turned disputed charges over to collection during an ongoing investigation. 

Since Citi will not cooperate in providing information to an ongoing investigation, our information will be provided only upon Citi Bank cooperation in the matter. 

Attempts to assist XXXX to resolve have been unsuccessful. Citi notified XX/XX/XXXX. After many months and many phone calls, were referred to Mrs. XXXX, who understood the situation and got the communications to the correct fraud unit instead of filing charges against XXXX for fraud. Now Citi will not provide documentation to properly complete an investigation and report to authorities resulting in my many hours attempting to identify who committed fraud from other sources. However, rather than continuing to resolve, Citi continues to attempt to accuse XXXX for fraudulent transactions instead of assisting to trace the fraudulent transactions such as XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and others both locally and on line..

On XXXX  XXXX  XXXX I received a letter from XXXX XXXX stating that a debt was sold to Portfilio Recovery Associates ( encl 1 ) I responded to Portfolio Recovery Associates LLC on XXXX XX/XX/2019, with 2 letters to 2 different locations with a request for validation of the debt, which included a full accounting of all charges ( encl 2 ). One letter was delivered onXX/XX/19 and the other XX/XX/19 Encl ( 3 ) and ( 4 ). Portfolio Recovery Associates did not respond until afterXX/XX/19 ( 35 days later ) with a cover letter dated XX/XX/19 ( encl 5 ), containing 3 statements with payment due dates of XX/XX/17, XX/XX/18 and XX/XX/18 ( encl 6 ) ( encl 7 ) and ( encl 8 ). The cover letter states that Date account opened provided by the seller wasXX/XX/17, yet none of the statement provided to me had charges from that date. The oldest statement was dated XX/XX/17 and shows a previous balance of XXXX ( encl 6 ). The most recent statement datedXX/XX/18 ( encl 8 ) had a commingled charge of XXXX which was said to be the value of the purchase of the debt. However, the charge appeared on a statement which was supposed to be proof of charges I had made and not a transaction between XXXX XXXX  and Portfolio Recovery. So far Portfolio Recovery Associates has responded beyond the 30 days allowed by law ( 15 USC 1692g 809 ( a ), When they did send documents, they were not a full or accurate accounting of the charges they allege I owe. Portfolio Recovery Associates had this debt put on my credit report undisputed and without proper verification which is a violation of 15 USC 1692g 809 ( b ) and ignoring my written request to have this alleged debt validated and continued collecting 15 USC 1692g 809 ( b ) .They also continued to collect after receiving a cease communication notice 15 USC 1692c 805 ( c ). The second letter I wrote to them is dated XX/XX/19 encl ( 9 ) and certified receipts encl ( 10 ) explaining to them that they had not provided me with the documents that would validate the debt accurately or in a timely manner, and that I insisted that they removed if from my credit report. They sent me a response with a cover letter dated XX/XX/19 encl ( 11 ) which included the same 3 statements encl ( 6 ) ( 7 ) and ( 8 ) stating that PRA LLC has obtained and reviewed the attached documents related to this account, which establish its validity.
