Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Credit Control, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hi, I was a client of XXXX XXXX XXXX. I paid off a negotiated debt to XXXX XXXX with my final payment being made on XXXX. The XXXX XXXX XXXX website shows that my debt is cleared and that I graduated their program. Shortly after that I received a letter from a company called XXXX XXXX saying I owed them the full amout of that debt.I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX and they told me it was fine, and would adjust in the next few days. It didn't. I called the number on the collection letter. They looked up my account and provided me with a Paid in Full Letter. I'm currently trying to get a good interest rate on a mortgage loan. I submitted the Credit Control Paid in Full letter to my lender. They have a Rapid Rescore Department and are willing to work with me. The Rapid Rescore Department said they could not accept the Paid in Full letter because it's from Credit Control and not XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX  is the company that reported a collection to the credit bureaus. The Credit Control letter was signed by a collections supervisor and I can provide his name and also the Paid in Full letter. I called XXXX XXXX. They said I owed the money and asked who was the company saying it was paid. When I told them Credit Control, I was informed that Credit Control is one of their companies. They said they would contact them and if they showed that I paid the debt, they would provide a Paid in Full letter and also remove the collection from my credit report. Since then I received another letter from XXXX XXXX saying I now have to pay more, and the new bill exceeds {$1800.00}, This is almost {$600.00} more than what they originally said I owed in XXXX. I have since called them numerous times and was elevated to a manager on three separate occasions. The managers, first name only, and I can provide those first names, always say they will be able to resolve the issue in 72 hours and will get back to me. They say they can't call Credit Control about it, even though Credit Control is their company. They said they have a process and I need to wait. I have never heard of Credit Control or XXXX XXXX  prior to this. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX again to see if they would help me. I was told that I have a letter from Credit Control saying the debt was paid and that's as far as their obligation to me goes. In the meantime, I'm trying to close on a house. I will have to pay a higher interest rate if this can't be fixed. Houses are so expensive and any decrease in an interest rate is important. I hope you can help me. THank you.

Complaint narrative:
This company has yet to bill our insurance but has now sent a collection agency after my wife. 

On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, my wife went into XXXX  XXXX  and had a XXXX  with XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Maryland ( XXXX ) did not send us any statements until XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. The statement amount was {$4200.00}, and listed our insurance provider as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which is correct. On XXXX XXXX, shortly after receiving the statement in the mail, my wife called in order to have the bill sent to our insurance provider. The billing clerk said they would send the bill. The insurance provider did not ever receive a bill from XXXX , so this is not an issue of improper coding. We again received a bill on XXXX XXXX, again my wife called XXXX , who said they will send it, and again we confirmed with our insurance provider that they have not received a bill, statement, or notice from XXXX. 

XXXX has now sent our bill to Financial Corporation of America , a collections firm for the full amount. To our understanding, XXXX has yet to file with the insurance provider. Since this procedure, my wife had another routine anesthetic procedure on XXXX XXXX. The XXXX XXXX University Department XXXX  XXXX  managed to bill our insurance provider and in less than two weeks the bill was settled. At best this is a situation about incompetence, of a clerk who simply can not handle a simple task like sending a claim to an insurance agency. At worst, this is a case of malfeasance, whereby the company is taking a chance by harassing a customer to receive a greater payout than they would through insurance. I can only hope it is the former and not the latter. 

To be clear, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is a XXXX  insurance plan. I am a XXXX  XXXX  and my wife is my dependent. I do not believe they are at fault. They cant process what they have not received. It is after hours, but tomorrow my wife will again call XXXX and XXXX  to attempt to resolve this issue. To XXXX, please feel free to contact me so I can provide my wife with a better number than your billing department, as this appears to be beyond their skillset.

Complaint narrative:
I made a {$2200.00} payment on XX/XX/2022, which I asked to be applied to the principal only. According to the XX/XX/2022 statement, the ending balance was {$18000.00} ( {$1900.00} principal + {$210.00} interest ). The entire payment was not applied to the principal, however, there was no payment due as of XX/XX/2022. I went to the website, and on or about XX/XX/2022, it stated that I owed {$700.00} and it was 4 days late and that I owed a total of over {$1400.00}, that was going to have to be paid by XX/XX/2022. I immediately sent a payment of {$800.00} to XXXX, and according to my bank, it has not been received as of XX/XX/2022 ( not believable because it has been over a week since it has been sent by the bank in the form of a check ). 

I also made a {$700.00} payment on or about XX/XX/2022, and it has arrived and has been subtracted from the so-called total based on their calculations stating that I owe over {$20000.00}. I am confused. I am trying to pay my bills, however, it seems that XXXX is not giving me credit for payments made and they are charging me fees and interests, which is not making sense. I am a poor widow of a veteran who can barely make ends meet, however, XXXX it overcharging me based on my payment history.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased football tickets for {$980.00} using my Macy 's Amex from XXXX  XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX. The event was on XX/XX/XXXX. One week before the game I had still not received the tickets, so I called XXXX  to have them issued. I sat on hold for over two hours and was informed I had to wait until at least three days prior to the event, but that I should have them in the next 6 hours. Fast forward to two days prior to the event - still no tickets. Once again I got back on the phone, sat for another two hours, and was told I would be receiving them via email within the next four hours. Twenty-four hours, later and one day before the event, I still had not received any tickets. I had family coming into town to attend the event with me and it was imperative I receive the tickets before the game. Friday morning, the day before the game, I sit on hold again and once again was told I would be receiving them within a few hours. Nothing ever came through. I called Macy 's Amex to report the fraud and informed them I never received the tickets, the game was less than 24 hours away, and I will be purchasing tickets from another vendor -please dispute this charge. I made the purchase of the new tickets on the same card immediately after that phone call. They ensured me they would take care of it as I had never received what I paid for. My account was credited {$980.00}, until XX/XX/XXXX, when the charge reappeared on my credit card statement. I called to dispute it again and they assured me it would be credited. I have multiple emails, multiple faxes, and phone calls to Macy 's Amex to get this {$980.00} fraudulent charge removed from my credit card to no avail. Today is XX/XX/XXXX and the charge has still not been removed. Their reason- the ticket was non-refundable and the circumstances surrounding the charge offer no recourse to recover funds. Ultimately, they reversed the fraudulent charge the first time and allowed XXXX XXXX  to recharge the card in XXXX. This is illegal and needs to be fixed immediately. I have been a customer for over fifteen years and have never disputed a charge. It was reported before the event happened, and XXXX XXXX  should be held accountable for their fraudulent activities, along with Macy 's Amex for allowing the fraud. I hesitated to submit this as I am sure it will cause retaliation with a credit limit cut or closed card, but I refuse to be bullied into paying for something I did not receive.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 I purchased kitchen cabinets, counter tops, and labor and signed a Lowe 's store contract for such items. It is now XX/XX/2022 and no cabinets, no counter tops and I have been making payments towards this very expensive purchase. Now after several unreturned phone calls to the store ( Lowe 's store # XXXX in XXXX, NV ) The store 's employee wanted to recharge me the amount due to a system error. I told the employee no and he transferred me to the Manager which the call got disconnected. I called My Synchrony customer service for Lowe 's store credit card and the customer service representative told me up to 90 days to research and they do not control the store or their items. I asked for a full refund since nothing has been done and I am paying for kitchen cabinets that were never installed nor counter tops. The customer service representative would not give me a claim or dispute number. She told me it has been noted and I will receive a letter. 

I have been making {$500.00} a month payments since XX/XX/2022. This is not right and I feel I am being taken advantage of by Lowe 's and My Synchrony.

Complaint narrative:
I requested an extension agreement for the month of XXXX, I uploaded my extension agreement before the 30 day mark so that it would not be recorded as thrifty days late. I uploaded it on XX/XX/XXXX the same day that I spoke with a representative. I signed the document and sent it back. XXXX called me on XX/XX/XXXX more than 2 weeks after I uploaded the extension agreement saying that I was 30 days late. I uploaded the same document that day because customer service stated they could not see it on their end even though I could see it on my customer portal clearly showing it was uploaded. XX/XX/XXXX they reported me to the credit bureau as 30 days late. XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with a supervisor who could see the document but stated they did not process my agreement on XX/XX/XXXX because it was not dated. Which made no sense, the same document I uploaded on XX/XX/XXXX was reuploaded on XX/XX/XXXX, neither of them was dated but they still accepted it the second time with no date. They intentionally waited until I was 30 days late to tell me they couldn't see the document and that it needed to be dated. They do not want to fix it and it's irresponsible for them to accept the second document but not accept the first one when they have the same signature but no date on either.
