Company: Convergent Resources, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Collection account appeared on personal credit report for the first time on XX/XX/XXXX from a business called XXXX XXXX XXXX apparently a collection agency attempting to collect on a {$190.00} debt owed to a utility company. I notified them that I have never not paid a utility bill of any kind and they stated that they do n't need to provide validation of any debt beyond 30 days and this debt was assigned to them back in XX/XX/XXXX. However, I never received any notice from them relative to any debt allegedly owed. They refuse to remove this erroneous item from my credit history.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I set up an open line of credit with Wells Fargo in XX/XX/XXXX. After paying off the debt I called to close the account. I was informed that I could keep the account open with no penalty, hesitantly I decided to do so. In XX/XX/XXXX I began receiving notices of statements via email. I contacted Wells Fargo and closed the account. Or so I thought, I received yet another notice which indicated to me that the account had NOT been closed. I contacted them and found out that not only had it not been closed, but that I would have to pay {$120.00} fee for having it open ( {$25.00} annual fee ). I paid them. I was then told that I could not close my account for another day for the payment to post. Then I was told that due to a weird way that they had to process the payment it would instead be a week. So not only am I paying fees, I was told I would not pay, I am also getting the run around on closing the account.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to Transunion on XX/XX/XXXX concerning late payments on all of my XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX student loan accounts. I included documentation from XXXX XXXX XXXX  showing all 8 of my students were never late and were covered under forbearance without a break in dates. Transunion removed all late payments on all 8 of my student loan accounts between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I received a new credit report via mail to confirm this. Between XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX, Transunion inserted 1 late payment per student loan account back onto my credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from my mortgage lender who informed my that my loan process ca n't proceed to closing because my credit score had dropped XXXX points. On XX/XX/XXXX, I talked to a representative and informed her I am in the process of closing on a home and this information have halted my closing process. She told me that if I get another document from XXXX with a more current date to fax it and the payments would be removed. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called and talked to a different representative. She said they had not received my fax of the documents. I asked her once they receive these documents how long would it take to remove the late payments. She informed me due to the situation it would be immediately since there were notes already placed on my account stating what was needed. I called on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to another representative. She told me they have received my documents but they could not remove the late payments. I never received written notification that these late payments were added back on my report, which in violation of Sec 611 of Fair Reporting Credit Act. The only way I knew that the late payments were added on my credit report is by the mortgage lender, who called to say that my loan process could not proceed until this is cleared up. I am currently in the process of closing on a home and these late payments have not only halted that process but has caused tremendous amount of stress.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have a vehicle loan from Capital One Auto Finance that has fallen behind because I have not had a job since XX/XX/XXXX. I tried to get an extension earlier during the summer but they denied it and has since put the vehicle out for repossession with XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX I received a text message from my ex girlfriend, mind you we have been split up for almost a year, that an agent from XXXX XXXX XXXX came by her house and disclosed that my vehicle is out for repo. Now it is my understanding that a repo agent or debt collector is not allowed to disclose that there is a debt owed to a third party unless they are authorized by the debtor. I then received a call on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX from an agent for the same company saying that " This is XXXX and that I am a civil process server in XXXX County and that I have some papers I need to deliver to you. '' This is also a direct violation of FDCPA rules because a debt collector or anyone that is employed to represent the debt collector is not allowed to deceitfully identify himself as someone representing any type of court , county, state, or federal employee in order to scare information out of the debtor. I have the voicemail as well as the text messages from my ex girlfriend verifying this information. I have no called the finance company or the repossession company back because I do not want to be verbally assaulted. If the repo company is willing to disclose debts with third parties and to pre text to deceitfully get information then I do n't know what else they are willing to do.

Complaint narrative:
I have asked CitiBank to leave me alone with their endless offers through the mail. It contains information about my account and my mail has been stolen before. I have asked the company 5 times now to remove me from any and all offers and I am still receiving endless offers. PLEASE MAKE IT STOP. I signed up almost a year ago for the permanent removal of all promotional offers through the XXXX XXXX XXXX site. They try to get around the opt out by using only parts of my name instead of my full name, which is a loop hole but I should n't have to submit 3 different names just so they stop.

Company: AFNI INC.
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
Agency contacted me to get a hold of my sister. Phone # they called from was XXXX, or AFNI. My voicemail clearly states my name and not my sister 's name. Regardless, the agency left me a voicemail stating they were looking for my sister and then proceeded to say " This is a call from a Debt Collector ''. I have read and studied the FDCPA and I am pretty sure this is a violation of the Act. They have her phone #, which is in service. Her mailing address and all identifying info is up-to-date. There would have been no reason to contact me, let alone, to state that they were collecting a debt. It serves no purpose. I will be contacting my attorney with regards to this matter. I have not deleted the voicemail. The company needs to be held responsible for the collector 's training and negligence. If they did this to my sister, then they are doing it to everyone else.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Need information about your loan balance or loan terms
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
My student loans ' deferment was ending in XX/XX/XXXX and so in XX/XX/XXXX I paid off the accrued interest so it would n't capitalize. FedLoan Servicing first mistakenly applied the entire payment to one loan instead of all interest across all loans. It took 2 months and several phone calls to get the payment applied correctly retroactively. Several people told me they 'd would fix it but either nothing changed. Once that situation was resolved in noticed my repayment terms were not recalculated. It took countless calls before a customer service rep finally understood what I was talking about. I do not feel like many reps are qualified to discuss loans. After that call my repayment was recalculated but the monthly bill was still incorrect. In my subsequent conversations I have simply been asking for a repayment schedule but all they can provide me is the repayment terms ( which takes XXXX business days for some reason ). The problem with the terms is the terms never reconcile to the monthly payment. The outstanding loan amount, interest rate, and repayment length always equal a different min payment than on the same summary. Some are too high, some are too low. I feel like I can never talk to someone who knows what they are talking about.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Butler and assciates for a debt that goes back to XX/XX/XXXX. I replied by sending a cease and desist letter shorty thereafter. Request that they not contact me via mail or phone. This is a 20 year old debt. They fiolated fdcpa by contacting me with a final threat letter dated XX/XX/XXXX. I also adices a refusal to pay because of age of debt and has far as I am concerned this matter was satisfied by doing jail time.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I currently have a DISCOVER CARD which authorized 2 charges which put me over my credit limit by {$1200.00} and then negatively reported me to the three major credit monitoring companies. 

They authorized a charge for {$5600.00} on XX/XX/XXXX which was {$110000.00} over my credit limit and also authorized a charge for {$140.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. If I was already over my limit on XX/XX/XXXX why would they continue to authority another charge. 

I also do credit monitoring with Discover and I was surprise to see that Discover negatively reported me for going over my credit limit. I immediately called them and was told there was nothing that could be done about it. How can they allow you to go over and then report for doing so. Are they so hungry for you to use their card that they would allow you to go over by a substantial amount and not inform you or deny the transaction.

As you can see they had verified proof that I lived at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Guess what the street the address does n't even exist. It was till I did my own research on google maps that I found the street or the address did not exist. Again now after complaints 7 and 8 they are saying I lived at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as verified proof again this is completely FALSE and misleading information!!! Again let me STRESS I want to be crystal clear. lexis nexis stated on 5 different occasions I lived at an address that does n't even exist!!!!
