Company: SCA Collections, Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
This is my  2nd  complaint to the CFPB concerning  SCA  collections. The company has responded and advise me that an itemized bill has been sent from the original creditor. As per the documents sent to  SCA  Collections on  X/XX/17    I advised the company to provide me with a breakdown of the collections cost and medical charges, I also advised them to provide me with a copy of my signature to the provider of service to release my medical information to a  3rd  party agency.  SCA  has not provided me with a contract with my signature allowing their company to have any copy of my medical bills. This is considered to be withholding information that they received from my medical provider in an attempt to be HIPPA compliant can be a violation of the FDCPA. Cease/remove any credit bureau reporting. I have provided the original certified document along with the 2nd document requesting  SCA  to provide a contract of medical release and medical bills.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
When  XXXX  made the change from  XXXX  to Visa,  XXXX  issued me a new credit card. I am also a   XXXX   banking customer. I never used my new credit card, except as a  XXXX  membership card, I have other visas that I prefer using. The card was also never added to my online account.     After roughly 9 months,  XXXX  closed the card, and filed a notice of delinquency. They did not inform me of this, I actually found out v ia   XXXX   XXXX     credit score mon itoring service, if it had not been for this  XXXX  would still never have informed me of the charge. I started calling  XXXX  to figure out which account had a notice of delinquency, and when they identified the  XXXX  account, I did n't understand, never having spent money on it. It turned out that I was charged the  XXXX   membership fee ( automatically ) on that card, and was never told about it. By that point my payment   was about 6 months late and had an addition   XXXX   dollars of interest and late fees on top of the  XXXX  dollar charge. The customer service agent was very pleasant and waived all of the additional charges, I closed the account, and paid the {$55.00} dollars. She also acknowledged that   XXXX    dealt with this situation poorly.      However, this event has turned out to have a profound impact on my  credit score.  The day it happened it fell b y   XXXX  points  , and has recovered    XXXX     points  in the months since. Working with  XXXX  has been impossible and they say nothing can be done now. They actually made the claim that since  XXXX  has NEVER misreported credit data, they do n't have a way to rescind it, in any circumstance, otherwise they would be happy to. Unsure where to go from here.

Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
We were refinancing  our 1st mortgage with a REPUTABLE company, NOT WELLS FARGO ( getting away from  XXXX  ) - Wells Fargo just happens to have a minority stake in our property through HELOCS - In our CLOSING agreement on our new 1st mortgage, we discovered that Wells Fargo EMBEZZLED {$250.00} from us - when we complained to them that they conducted MORE fraud against us, all of a sudden this {$250.00} was some sort of a " fee '' - WELLS FARGO CA N'T CHARGE A FEE IF WE ARE N'T DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM - ESPECIALLY WITHOUT ANY ADVANCE NOTIFICATION ... that is stealing. They have a fiduciary duty to us, as ALL of our bank accounts are at WELLS FARGO ... Had they actually informed someone of their intent to charge this " fee '', we would have  absorbed their loans into our NEW MORTGAGE ...     I have already had fraud committed against me by  WELLS FARGO in the " New Account '' SCAM that they were conducting and previously fined for - Their  most recent fraudulent actions involve skimming off of transactions that they have nothing to do with - They were NOT entitled to our  XXXX , LET ALONE to steal {$250.00} from us in the process. AGAIN, we were NOT doing business with them. They had NO RIGHT to request any information or issue any " fees '' - primarily because no one was doing business with them. YOU NEED TO CHECK THIS OUT, BECAUSE I GUARANTEE THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES THAT THEY ARE DOING THIS TO ...     Their response to the fines that you have previously issued to them is reprehensible - They merely treat the money as if it 's payola or some type of licensing fees to enable them to continue the fraudulent abuse and theft that they routinely conduct against their consumer account holders. Because they know there is NO CONSEQUENCE.     Fines are not enough - CRIMINALS NEED TO BE CHARGED with their crimes!!!     And by the way : Did you EVEN BOTHER to notice that there are MORE COMPLAINTS on your site AGA INST WELLS FARGO, THA N ANYONE ELSE ...??????? By far - all you need to do is look.     CLOSE THES E STAGECOACH ROBBERS DOWN!!! TRUMP 'S PETTY  CASH BOX.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
I inadvertently  made two payments on my home equity loan. This was my fault, not theirs. What is fraudulent on Chase is  the way my funds were applied. On  XXXX , an automatic payment of {$420.00} was pulled with interest applied of {$220.00} and {$200.00} applied to principal. This I do n't have an issue with.     On  XXXX   XXXX ,   XXXX  , my banks bill pay sent an electronic payment of {$500.00}, again this was my error, no t Chase or my bank. What is wrong is that of the {$500.00} payment, Chase applied  only {$290.00} to principal and another {$200.00} to interest! Interest owed was at most {$21.00}, not {$200.00}! In addition, they are billing me another {$230.00} for  XXXX .     This is just flat wrong!

The specific information under dispute is the derogatory nature of the information your agency has furnished to the credit reporting agencies in connection with the following accounts : The basis for my dispute is that, as I understand the code, your office was required to notify me, in writing, prior to, or no later than 30 days after furnishing any negative information to the consumer credit reporting, that such information was being furnished. This notification is required under the FCRA, section 623, subsection ( 7 )  ( A ). To date, I have not received any documentation in compliance with this section.   I am requesting that you provide me with proof of notification, i.e. a copy of the actual notification sent, and proof that it was delivered to me in a timely manner.   If you can not provide proof of notification and date of receipt then you can not substantiate that you complied with the procedures required under the FCRA. In which case, the continued reporting of negative information to the credit reporting agencies in connection with the aforementioned accounts  may const itute the reporting of false information, causing damage to my reputation and future credit worthiness.
