Company: Weinman Acquisition Group
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
On Thursday, XXXX XXXX, at XXXX I missed a call from a number listed as XXXX XXXX AL XXXX XXXX ). A lady named XXXX XXXX stated in a voicemail that they were attempting to locate me in to receive my signature on bc of a debt on my XXXX. She stated if I was n't located this would result in a missed court date. 

I immediately called the number back but it connected me to a debt collection company called Weinman Acquisition Group ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX ). A lady named XXXX XXXX answered and started off extremely rude. She told me that I had to pay in full then in order to not be summons to court. She gave me her direct number as XXXX. She stated this debt was from a payday loan from XXXX, a loan I do not remember and she also added their fee to the total. I told her I needed to check into some things. She immediately asked in I could put a down payment right then. I said " No, I will call you back ''. She proceeded to ask when I was going to call her back because after a certain time she could n't stop the summons. I again told her I would call her back. 

After doing some research, I found some complaints against them that said they did to others exactly what they did to me so I called back to get some more info. This time a gentleman answered. I told the gentleman that I was n't very comfortable giving my info out but he interrupted me twice and stated very rudely that I did n't have to be comfortable. 

After doing more research, I decided to not make a payment to them over the phone. They had confirmed my address so I did n't know if someone was going to show up or not. No one did, someone was home all day, and we have security cameras to prove this. I am unsure if I owe the debt but the threats and scare tactics are out of bounds.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC

Complaint narrative:
My parents were attempting to purchase a manufactured home in XXXX in South Carolina. 

I received a telephone call at my place of employment at the time telling me that the finance manager from XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, SC XXXX would be coming down to my work for me to sign paperwork, as they needed a co-signer on the retail installment loan as their credit was not good enough to qualify on their own. 

I have now discovered that the loan is solely in my name, not my parents, but I have been unable to get the loan refinanced in my parents name, or refinanced in any other way. The original loan through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, SC XXXX has now been bought and sold multiple times, now owned by Ditech XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, SD XXXX. I have contacted them multiple times via their phone # at XXXX with no success, with my most recent phone call on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to which the representative stated " Well, I guess you are pretty much screwed. '' " We can do nothing for you. '' The home was financed for {$37000.00} with XXXX % interest rate over 360 months. My parents have been solely making the payments, and have copies of all payments made since XXXX, which I can provide upon request. I personally have made ( 0 ) payments. They have never missed a payment. I have tried to ask about a settlement from Ditech on the phone, but they told me that it would be denied, while people were laughing in the background. My parents have now paid over 3 times what the home was originally sold for, and have nothing to show for it, as they ca n't even get it financed in their own name since we can not find any lender willing to refinance a retail loan on a 20 year old manufactured home. 

I currently live in XXXX, in my own home, and this is currently taking up my available credit so I am unable to expand my own business.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: I.Q. DATA INTERNATIONAL, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I was contacted on XXXX XXXX, XXXX at XXXX pm in the afternoon by IQ Data International and was told I owe money for a debt and that I should pay you or it will go on my credit report. I told your IQ Data International I was completely unaware of any debt owed and had not received a bill, notice, or information about supposed debt of any kind. IQ Data International representative XXXX told me they had sent a notice and he confirmed my mailing address which was accurate. I told him to resend it as I obviously did not receive it and I would get in touch with the alleged party who said I owed this debt and had passed supposed debt onto your collection agency. 
It is now XXXX XXXX, XXXX and I received an alert from my credit monitoring service that a derogatory collection account had been placed on my credit report from IQ Data International. I called back IQ Data International again and spoke to XXXX who said they had resent a bill. I told him I still have not received a bill of any kind from IQ Data International and asked him to send the bill certified mail so I can have proof it was sent, XXXX said your IQ Data International does not do that. I also asked to have it sent COD or any other means which I will pay for, once again XXXX said your IQ Data International does not do that. So I still have no idea what this supposed debt is for. IQ Data International fails to send any documentation and when requested to send it via provable means they refuse. Instead they put an unvalidated collection account on my credit report, damaging my families financial future, which will possibly cost me tens of thousands of dollars in extra interest over the years, declined mortgage/car loan applications, and even affect my employment and future employment opportunities. I owe. In my opinion this is the financial version of extortion and certainly is not FAIR debt collection practices by any means, on the contrary, it seems illegal. 
By law I was to receive a detailed validation notice of supposed debt within 5 days after initial contact. It is now over 35 days past the first contact and I have yet to receive anything. And full well knowing I have not received this, IQ Data International still went ahead and posted this 'supposed ' debt on my credit report. Worse yet, I have made good faith efforts and reasonable attempts to try to even find out what this debt is for, yet your IQ Data International has not sent me anything while continuing to harass me with phone calls causing me severe anxiety, stress, and a feeling of helplessness. Is it not fair to know what a debt is for before paying it? Why do I own the burden of proof here?

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Ocwen Loan Servicing is running a scam that they now impose a {$10.00} fee for paying your mortgage on their website if it is more than 10 days past the due date. This is true even if you are still within the grace period. Apparently, I have to write a check and use snail mail to pay my mortgage otherwise they charge $ XXXX {$19.00} to pay electronically or over the phone. We all know the transaction costs for processing electronic payments is minimal and this is just an attempt to try to make people miss the deadline and incur late fees. This is an unfair business practice that the government should be prohibiting. It costs them no more money to process a payment on the XXXX of the month than it does on the XXXX, but it eliminates the grace period that was provided by law. Because I ca n't just change my loan servicer when they adopt obnoxious processes, the government should be stepping up and regulating these practices. It would be nice if the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau actually protected consumers from these outrageous practices. Because it costs them more to process paper checks, I will go ahead and start mailing checks again.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has not properly investigated the following issues on my credit report Confirmation # XXXX. Their claim to have investigated the issues is false. Please see enclosed letter ... 

Earlier in the year, I started a dispute with Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX  regarding items on my credit reports. Equifax claimed to have gotten the public records information being reported on their file for me from XXXX. I started an inquiry into the facts with XXXX approximately XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. After concluding their investigation XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX agreed with me and deleted the item ( see enclosed letter ). 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Equifax claim to have investigated and VERIFIED this item by means of XXXX! 

EQUIFAX, XXXX, AND XXXX show a pattern of deceptive practices regarding consumer credit issues. They should be audited and their procedures combed over. I believe that their internal security as it pertains to a consumer file is loose. Meaning that dates and other important factual items can be changed by a clerk or data entry person for no reason other than their mood. Their record of FCRA violations has to be epic ...

Issue: Unexpected or other fees — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I received a XXXX prepaid card from XXXX XXXX for overcharges on my account when I closed out the account in XXXX. The XXXX card is issued by Citibank , N.A . pursuant to a license from XXXX XXXX XXXX. The amount of the card balance was around $ XXXX {$16.00}. The card number is XXXX, security code XXXX, with an " good thru '' date of XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ). 

On attempting to use the card in XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, it was rejected at purchase site ( s ). I called the toll-free number for customer service on the back of the card, XXXX. The Citibank customer service agent told me that the card had a {$0.00} balance because after 3 months the bank starts automatically deducting {$5.00} on the first of every month from the card balance for maintenance fees. Therefore, the entire balance was eliminated in maintenance fees. I explained that no where on the card did it explain this feature of the card and any card-holder would be unaware. Nice way to make generous profits for Citibank. The agent explained there was nothing that could be done except discard the card as it was no good any longer. So I lost the entire amount of the card due to Citibank not explaining to the cardholder the maintenance fee associated every month. Gift cards should not have maintenance fees or " GOOD THRU '' dates if that is the policy to erode the card balances with fees. It is really not GOOD THRU any predetermined date. 

I believe this is a very, very unethical practice and should be stopped or make Citibank pay a substantial fine for unethical behavior to consumers. It is really theft by deception!
