Company: URS Holding, LLC
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I got a call out of the blue from a debt collector saying I have an overdue account with the college I went to. I asked for an itemized statement from the school showing what I owe. On the receipt was over XXXX XXXX in collection and late fees.The man I spoke to from ERS said I had 30 days to pay or it would be marked on my credit. I asked if there was a way to lower the amount due because i did not know i had the over due balance and would have happily paid the amount due before the charges, he said they could settle with the school, and it 's usually 85 %. He told me my best bet was to take out a loan so I could pay them and just make payments to the bank and keep my credit safe. I told him I would try to do that, while he settles with XXXX. We agreed to aim for {$3000.00} to settle the account. He said he would get back to me by the end of the week. He then took my bank account number and routing number, thinking he needed it for verification purposes I gave it to him. Then I got a loan that week but never got a call back from him. After calling several times that week, the next Monday, and tuesday, I finally got a call from a different person at ERS. This person then told me that the payment was received but XXXX wanted an additional {$400.00}. Surprised, I asked what payment. He told me that the payment for {$3900.00} cleared the previous week. I then checked my bank account and sure enough the payment was cleared. I then said I never authorized a payment, and the other man said we would settle for much less and he never returned my calls, this new guy says " yeah I see that he did n't contact you, I 'm sorry he should n't of done what he did, he does n't work in this department anymore. '' I feel that this is very unprofessional and feel that I am being taken advantage of. The man said they still had to collect the {$400.00} but I said I was not paying anything until I spoke to someone about this, which is why I am contacting you. I think that there is fraud going on here and definitely unfair debt collecting practices. They should have never just taken the money from me. There was no communication.

Company: KINGS CREDIT SERVICES
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Kings Credit Services was paid in XXXX of this year for an old debt ( originating around 2010 ) earlier this year that was listed on my credit report as a result of a stipulation for qualifying for a loan to purchase a home for my family. In XXXX they served me and my spouse with a summons that they are suing us for additional old debt they found after they received the a check for the original listed debt. This collection agency never contacted us regarding any debt owed to them, nor attempted to collect it. The old debt was discovered by my lender on my credit report. Since paying them the collection agency has since filed a suit against me and my wife to collect additional old debt, ( approx : {$2500.00} in old medical services ), and in XXXX of this year listed the additional old debt from 2010 with credit reporting agencies, resulting in negative affects with our credit score. My question is if California has a statute of limitations on debt collection related to actions a creditor can take, how are they able to sue a time barred debt, and is n't that against the law? Not only that, the documents related to the medical services they sent me do n't match the amounts listed on the court summons for which they are suing me for.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/15 we were contacted by XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ext XXXX ) who advised me that we had been approved for an FHA modification. She said we were on a 3-month trial period payment plan and that after successfully making the 3 months payments on time ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX ), our interest would drop from 5.25 % to 4 % and our payments would become lower than the trial period payment plan payments were. She said there would be no principal reduction. I just called to find out what our new lower payment would be beginning in XX/XX/XXXX and was told that we had to continue making the higher trial period payment plan payments because the paperwork had not been finalized. I was also advised that it could take 3 or 4 months for the modification to become final and we could begin making the lower payments.

Company: BBVA FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is about BBVA Compass Bank. I received a car loan with them in XXXX of XXXX. I made every payment on time. I recently bought a new car and was informed that the Compass car loan does not show up on any credit reporting agency. three and a half years of on time payments do not show up anywhere. However, in XXXX they closed a credit card account because they reviewed my credit report on XXXX and it was n't up to their standards. That negative closure shows up on all three reporting agencies but the fact that I have consistently paid 3 times the minimum payment since the closure does not. They only show I pay the minimum payment. I called Compass. Nothing they can do about the credit card. I called about the car loan. I received a message that they had fixed it and I could return to the dealership after XXXX XXXX and it will show up. It does not. it is now XXXX XXXX. They 've done nothing but damage my credit and refuse to show that I have never been late, that I pay more than the minimum on XXXX the car loan and credit card and never even reported the car loan to the credit bureau. They have severely negatively impacted my credit and I have no idea how to get them to fix it.

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage company is Loancare LLC out of XXXX, VA. They received my payment on XX/XX/2017 but returned it for insufficient funds. I know for 1000 % that the money was in my account and the bank never charged me an overdraft fee which would have happened if the check was truly returned. I 've emailed them but I 'm not expecting a response due to their track record online. SHUT this company down. How many bad reviews do they have to receive before someone will do something? I am literally 2 months into my very first mortgage and already having issues with them.

Because of LoanCare 's gross negligence, my insurance payment is now 24 days late as of XXXX/XXXX/2016.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
At the request of Carrington Mortgage, I have been making my mortgage payment using XXXX Collect since XX/XX/2016. Carrington mortgage is reporting that I made XXXX late payments more than 30 days late for the months of XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/2016. However, neither XXXX of these payments were made more than 30 days late. I filed a dispute back at the end of XX/XX/2016 I have submitted my original receipts showing the date and the time these payments were made and Carrington Mortgage has still refused to correct my Transunion, Equifax and Experian. The dispute was closed and all Carrington did was report a different balance to the credit bureaus. The update from Transunion was completed/closed stating " your mortgage balance has increased from {$98000.00} to {$98000.00} which is the same balance. This dispute did n't do anything to update the late payments or nothing to redeem my score dropping XXXX points from this error. The XX/XX/XXXX payment was made on XX/XX/2016 at XXXX PST and the XX/XX/XXXX Payment was made on XX/XX/2016 at XXXX PST. These payments were made on time as an Urgent Payment via XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. These payments are sent without delay and sent within minutes. Based on the XXXX policy, payments can be delayed if they made after XXXX EST. The XX/XX/2016 payment was made at XXXX XXXX, which is XXXX EST. The XX/XX/2016 payment was made at XXXX XXXX, which is XXXX XXXX. Carrington Mortgage did not acknowledge my payment until XX/XX/2016 for the XX/XX/2016 payment. Carrington did not acknowledge the second payment until XX/XX/2016 for the XX/XX/2016 payment. Carrington mortgage is required to report accurate information to the credit bureaus and they are refusing to correct their mistake. I have attached the original receipts and a letter from XXXX showing that these payments were made before the XXXX days late mark.. No doubt the inclusion of this inaccurate information is a mistake on the reporting creditor 's part. Because of the mistakes on my credit report, I have been wrongfully denied credit recently for a refinance, which was highly embarrassing and has negatively impacted my lifestyle. Please work with Carrington to do the right thing and have these inaccurate late payments removed from my credit report with all XXXX bureaus.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
A few months ago, I noticed that my current mortgage company, Carrington Mortgage Services LLC, tried to deduct funds from the wrong account ( savings instead of checking ). As soon as I found this, I tried to contact them multiple times to correct this error. They refuse to respond to my E-mails or return my calls. I 've made every attempt to resolve these issues with them but they refuse contact me or work with me in any way. My online payment option has been disabled and they wo n't accept any form of digital payment ( over the phone or otherwise ). Currently, they are forcing me to send them cashiers checks via mail. This is a big problem for me since I have a job in which I may be away from home ( and my bank ) for several weeks at a time. I recently tried to refinance my mortgage through another company to get away from them. However, they reported that I made my payments late to the credit bureau and I was n't able to get my loan approved ( all delays were caused by the mortgage company ). I have copies of my past E-mails where I attempted to contact them and bank statements showing that I 've always had more than sufficient funds to make my payments.

Complaint narrative:
I had a XXXX XXXX credit card. I had unexpected medical bills so I called all the credit card companies to see if they work with me in interest rate and lower payments. XXXX XXXX agreed to let me pay {$50.00} a month. They never sent a statement after that and drafted the money out of my account every month probable over a year. Then a couple of months there was nothing. The next thing a policeman shows up at my door serving me papers where they had turned it over to Hannah and Associates. I did n't want to go to court so I set up payments with Hannah and Assoc. I do n't if that is what I owe them. I never received a letter from XXXX XXXX saying they were turning my account over. Never received statement from XXXX XXXX and never received anything from Hannah and Associates as proof that I owed the amount they said I owed. I have been paying them for well over a year and now I get a letter saying to mail my payment to XXXX XXXX XXXX attorney at law. Do I need to request that they send proof of the amount they say I owe. I do not feel like I owe that much and why would attorney turn it over to another attorney. I feel like they are scamming me.

Complaint narrative:
In an attempt to open an account, I waited the time frame I was told, but never received a response. I then contacted the financial institution and was told I needed to email identification. I complied and sent the information ( Passport and Drivers License ). A few days later I still had not heard anything, so I again contacted the institution and was told they could n't accept one of my identifications due to it not having all four corners visible. For a second time I complied and resent new pictures. After 5 business days of waiting, I called to see what was going on. I was told by a customer service employee that " we can not accept id through email ''. I explained that 2 other customer service agents told me to email the information. He stated that all he knew was they could not accept ID through email. I then asked for a supervisor. The supervisor told me that they had no records that my ID 's had been received. I then explained that I had sent them twice before. She asked me to send them again and that I would have to wait for approval. I explained to her that I 've jumped through enough hoops for this company and it was time that they did some jumping. I have now been dealing with this company for over 2 weeks, enough is enough. No action, no results, poor customer service.

Complaint narrative:
I keep asking this question & it 's not getting answered. As basic as I can put it, what criteria specifically allowed my Reserve Line to stay open during XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX 's periodic reviews of creditworthiness compared to now? I 've the received the notice from US Bank about this decision to close my Reserve Line, but none of the reasons stated for this closure are true. Again, during XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX my credit score dropped to a XXXX, I had no other available credit, & I was consistently maxed out on my Reserve Line usage, & every payment I owed was over 90 days late or being charged off. In the past year my debt to income ratio has improved, my available credit has increased, & my credit score has increased over XXXX points, & all payments are on time. Suddenly my Reserve Line is deceptively closed when I 'm no longer using it, & with false reasons stated for the closure. US Bank can not clarify why this happened or explain the justification behind this decision in comparison to the decision to leave it open for the previous 5 years when I was an admittedly horrible candidate for credit. I 've read the disclosures but do not explain the inconsistency of this decision..

Complaint narrative:
My husband and I have accounts at BBVA Compass Bank. XXXX of these accounts are CDs. Each CD pays interest quarterly. The latest interest for these XXXX accounts was XXXX XXXX, 2015. The interest on XXXX account was delivered via mail on XXXX XXXX, 2015. The interest check on the second CD account did not arrive. I waited until Friday, XXXX XXXX, and called Customer Service at BBVA Compass Bank. I was told there was nothing they could do, that I had to personally drive to the bank for assistance. I went to the bank and spoke with a banker there, who told me that since it had only been a little over one week since the interest check was missing, that there was nothing he could do. I had to wait two weeks for any help. I waited until XXXX XXXX and went to the BBVA Compass Bank location at XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Texas. I spoke with the Bank Manager there who made several phone calls. He determined that the check had not been cashed. He also stated that they would put a Stop Payment on the check and if it did arrive in my mailbox, I should just shred it. He further stated that the replacement check would be processed the same day and I could come back that day for it. I asked him if the interest check could be deposited into my checking account. He said that would be fine. The next day, the Branch Manager called me and said the check would be processed Monday, XXXX XXXX. I could check the website on Tuesday, XXXX XXXX, and the check would show in my checking account. It did not appear Tuesday morning, as I expected. I called Customer Service to see if they had any record of the interest being deposited into the account. XXXX, at BBVA Customer Service, stated there was nothing in the accounts, no deposit, no notes that showed any transaction. XXXX promised to check into the matter and call me back. It is now almost XXXX and I do not think XXXX or anyone else from BBVA is going to call. The interest in question is {$37.00}, not a huge sum of money. However, I have been waiting for this money owed to me for nearly three weeks. What miserable customer service. Unconscionable of them to treat a customer in this manner.
