Complaint narrative:
There a company name XXXX XXXX account number XXXX which is reflecting on all three of my credit reports. I do not now, nor have I ever had an account with this company. Based upon the information which they are listing as a debt, and they 're stating it was opened with a company by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX and stating it was opened in XXXX. This information clearly shows that the statue of limitations have run out and does not allow XXXX XXXX to now try to collect on this debt. XXXX XXXX is trying to state that this account was open in XXXX and they took ownership of this debt but never notified me concerning this matter, but instead placed this on my account in the month of XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX is not within its right to collect this information and has provided false information on my report. I am asking that they remove all information from all three reports and never place this back on my account again.

Complaint narrative:
This is a reply to XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX 's ( XXXX ) response to Complaint No. XXXX submitted by XXXX XXXX XXXX. When fraud on the court exists, the orders issued by those courts are void. The courts were lead to believe that XXXX had standing to pursue this foreclosure based in part on an affidavit attested to by someone who obviously had no personal knowledge of the facts or actually reviewed the account record. Specifically, the affiant did not review the mortgage document that clearly defines when the loan becomes delinquent. Banks have been afforded far more deference by the courts than they deserve considering the industry was riddled with fraud at the height of the mortgage crisis. In fact, XXXX signed a Consent Order drafted by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ( OCC ) after an examination revealed flagrant abuses where affidavits were obviously signed by someone other than someone with personal knowledge or reviewed the facts. Similarly XXXX XXXX XXXX, who responded to this complaint, had no personal knowledge or provided no evidence that she reviewed the facts. She was the attorney of record but was not the litigating attorney. My records from the numerous proceedings indicate that she never opened any of the motions I filed with the XXXX County XXXX XXXX Court when the cases were opened. Someone with personal knowledge of the facts should have responded to this complaint. Anyone can get a copy of a docket sheet and summarize. XXXX filed or caused to be filed in federal and state courts, an affidavit in which the affiant represents that the assertions in the affidavit was based on personal knowledge or review. Under Michigan law, affidavits recorded with the register of deeds may be received as evidence in any civil matter and serves as prima facie evidence of the facts ( MCL 565.453 ). Prima facie evidence is sufficient to raise a presumption unless disproved or disputed. Despite being rebutted, the court presumed it was an accurate accounting of the facts. The response to my complaint is inadequate and fails to explain issues that are at the heart of this dispute such as : 1 ) Why XXXX believes the loan first became delinquent in XXXX 2012. 2 ) Why XXXX believes they do not have to respond to my Qualified Written Request sent prior to the foreclosure.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I had signed up for paperless communication when my loans first came due back in XXXX. I went back to school, and when I left, my school e-mail, which I had on file with Fedloan Servicing go deactivated. When my loans came due again ( XXXX XXXX ), I was receiving communication through such e-mail, which was no longer working. So, I was never aware that they had come out of deferment and never received a letter in the mail when payments came due, even though they had my address on file. They reported all my accounts as delinquent to the credit bureaus. I take my obligations very seriously and always strive to keep a clean credit report. I never missed or was late on payments when my loan was first due ( from XXXX through XXXX XXXX ). Also, I continued making interest payments on my loans during times when my loans were in deferment, by setting up direct payment from my bank account. In addition, after I learned about this issue, I set up direct debit for my payments and made my first payment on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, to avoid any issues in the future. This is the only black mark I have on my report and has caused a huge decline on my credit standing, which is hurting me every day. I feel like their practice is very unfair and their communication very poor.

Over a period of many months unauthorized checks were written on the account at Webster Bank and XXXX also destroyed the statements before XXXX could see them.

XXXX was eventually XXXX in XXXX, XXXX and XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX Since then XXXX XXXX, who is now the POA for XXXX has been in touch with Webster Bank to try and recover the funds. Representatives at the XXXX XXXX XXXX branch have misled her, lied to her and done everything possible to avoid pursing this. XXXX met with the Branch Manager, XXXX XXXX, on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX again and asked for paperwork showing that any action had been taken and she refused to provide it. XXXX said the bank 's fraud department was not pursing this and when pushed told us to contact the Office of the President. Today, XXXX XXXX we called the number we were given and it was the general info number and not that of the Office of the President. We were on hold with XXXX for over 45 minutes who refused to give us the contact info until he tried to resolve the problem even though we told him that the Branch Manger gave us this number. He eventually provided the contact info so we can send a letter. It 's beyond belief that Webster Bank initiated the investigation which led to XXXX XXXX being XXXX for the theft yet they will not take any action to help recoup this money. They have obstructed every action we 've tried to take since the Fall of XXXX. PLEASE HELP US. XXXX is in XXXX XXXX now and is almost out of money. He will need to go on Title 19 unless we can recoup the {$100000.00} taken from Webster Bank. Thank you for any assistance.

Complaint narrative:
I had been having problems with making payments with my credit cards the past couple of months so I made a loan to pay off all of credit cards and cancel the cards. On XXXX XXXX, 2017 I called Victoria Secret 's ( Comenity Bank ) and spoke with a customer service rep and told them that I wanted to pay the account in full and close my account. He gave me a final balance of $ XXXX-I completed the transaction with the rep on that day. Two days later, I received an e-mail from VS stating that I owed {$45.00} for a finance charge. My payment was due on XXXX XXXX, 2017 and I paid XXXX XXXX, 2017. I e-mailed VS two times and finally called on XXXX XXXX to speak with a representative. He was rude and disrespectful. I repeatedly explained that I made it clear on XXXX XXXX I wanted to pay the account in full and close. Why did n't the rep give me the full amount as I requested? He could n't answer me, all he could say was that I missed my payment due date and was charged a finance fee for not paying on time. I was asking for the finance charge to be removed so that account would be zeroed out and they would not take care of it. I experienced the same issue with XXXX, also Comenity Bank, I paid that card in full on XXXX XXXX, 2017 also and two days later I received an e-mail stating I had an outstanding finance charge. I neglected to call Comenity because of my previous conversation. I was on the phone over 20 minutes with a customer service rep who was condescending, rude and disrespectful. I will share my story of unfair and illegal practices by this credit card company.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I received a physical letter, dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, via USPS notifying me that I owe {$990.00} to " XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX '' for an outstanding balance unpaid to " HSBC HOUSEHOLD BANK ''. They requested I remit the total balance owed via a bank wire to XXXX XXXX XXXX or by check to " XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX ''. I spoke to XXXX XXXX and someone named XXXX from XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX claimed the original debt dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX was sold to them in XXXX by HSBC and then mentioned it was somehow related to a MasterCard through XXXX XXXX. He also refused to give me any contact information for HSBC. After this refusal, he mentioned I could clear my debt today by paying only {$500.00} as a settlement and then asked if I would commit to paying it today. This was very suspicious to me, so I did my own internet search and contacted HSBC immediately and they had no record of my social, account or name. The HSBC rep informed me that they do NOT outsource their collections, but instead have a collections department in house and also mentioned it was strange that the HSBC account number was not referenced in the collection. HSBC recommended that I report this incident to the Credit Bureau, Attorney General and BBB, which I plan to do immediately. After much strife, I did another search for XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX and it appears I am not the first they have attempted to scam. I am attaching the scam letter from XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX to warn everyone to how bold these scammers have become. Apparently we have to beware of not only phone scams, but also mail scams.
