Complaint narrative:
Citibank # XXXX Beginning XX/XX/XXXX account shows in Collection. This student loan was deferred due to the serious illness of my son. The account is not in collection. It was deferred to XX/XX/XXXX. 
Also, even though this loan was deferred, I continued to make payments of {$220.00} each month. 

It seems wrong that this account would show in collection when it was deferred and I continued to make payments. It was never explained to me that if I deferred the payment the loan would show in collection. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I.C. Systems has been spamming my phone with upwards of 5 calls a day for over a month. They call and ask for my personal information but refused to give me any confirmation about their company ( to confirm it wasn't a scam ) until after nearly a month of harassing phone calls. The 'debt ' in question was paid for on the spot to the original company I ordered a service from ( XXXX , which I do not recommend after this experience ) and has never been 'debt '. this has all persisted despite multiple attempt to prove to the collectors and XXXX that they received payment nearly 2 Years ago when the original event occurred.No evidence has been accepted and I was offered the opportunity for them to review my case if I paid the 'debt ' first, which makes absolutely no sense.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I tried to fix an abusive and incorrect information that Equifax and XXXX  XXXX XXXX is reporting the account ending in XXXX XXXXXXXX as Charge-off. Debt included in or discharged through Bankruptcy Chapter XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. The limnit was XXXX, and highest balance was {$11000.00}. 
On Equifax I can see that : Balance {$11000.00} Credit Limit {$7500.00} Available Credit $ -XXXX ( How is possible to have negative availability when my dept wast discharged through Bankruptcy Chapter XXXX by Court of Law on XX/XX/XXXX? I never heard about that some/ or an institution to be above Law? 

The Equifax updated my report with the above account on XX/XX/XXXX as Charge-off. In my humble opinion I believe that are they trying to overrule a Federal Law and to reinstall an account that was closed many years ago and included in Bankruptcy. 

My Info Regarding Bankruptcy : US BKPT CT CA XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy chapter XXXX-discharged Original filing date : XX/XX/XXXX Latest status date : XX/XX/XXXX Account Info Reference Number XXXX Court US BKPT CT CA XXXX XXXX  Contact Info of : XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, DE XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Equifax info : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, DE XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX I believe the above account was closed back in XXXX-XXXX and for sure the dept was included and discharged through Bankruptcy and any dept was dissolved and approved by Court of Law back on XX/XX/XXXX. By Law I owe {$0.00} to anyone and nothing negative should be reported as negative on my credit report. 

It's impossible that to have bad debt and to be placed for collection and updated on XX/XX/XXXX with a past due amount of {$11000.00} when the amount should be {$0.00}!

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: PEOPLE'S UNITED BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Our company had two mortgages for two properties in Maine. Closed at different times, each has their own closing packages, referred to as " loan 1 '' and " loan 2 ''. On the front page of each mortgage there is a paragraph for " cross-collateralization ''. 

In XX/XX/XXXX loan 1 went into default. No foreclosure was filed by the bank. We worked with them to sell the property for that mortgage ( during the worst time of year to sell ) and sold them for a portion of their value so that we could satisfy the bank. The bank was made 100 % whole on loan 1 -- NO discount. 

In the same XX/XX/XXXX, the bank took loan 2 ( performing and current ) and instituted a default rate, almost doubling the payment. If you evaluate the amount of monies paid to the bank for loan 2, the loan would be currently paid through XX/XX/XXXX. 

My problem is that there is NOT a cross default provision in the mortgage. Peoples United Bank has therefore illegally withdrawn excess payments and not recorded payments properly for loan 2. They have since filed for foreclosure and have an auction scheduled for the property. 

I am filing this complaint as it is my intention to make all parties aware of my intention to pursue this claim legally, possibly through class action.
