Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously filed a complaint on XXXX against Experian for fraudulent accounts that were not mine. I requested for fraudulent accounts to be blocked from my credit. They responded on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX stating that accounts and inquiries have been blocked as requested. I received an updated report showing they were deleted but then the next day XXXX/XXXX/XXXX when I checked my reports creditchecktotal.com the fraudulent accounts were readded without notice. I called Experian XXXX and was told they had proof the accounts were valid. I requested proof and still to this day have n't received anything showing that the fraudulent accounts and inquiries belong to me. I would like to file a claim for damages as a result of the pain and suffering that I have been under due to my personal credit report having fraudulent information being reported. I have attached my police report, request to block and the proof of accounts and inquries deleted to soon be readded without proper notification and proof of claim. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that the credit bureau inform you BEFORE they re-report a previously deleted listing.

Complaint narrative:
I have been a customer of Citicards since XXXX and have always maintained a up to date account. On or about XXXX XXXX, XXXX their customer service department contacted me regarding a payment and told me that to avoid a late charge to submit my payment. She informed me that as long as I made a payment that I would not be charged a late fee. I then get a statement and they charge me a late fee. Why in the world would you tell me I was not going to get one if I made the payment and after I made the payment you gave me one. That is not good business. Let alone, by law there is a grace period for making payments. I will be terminating my business with them

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a loan modification with OCWEN over a year ago and was granted a loan modification. And then they sent me something in the mail indicating that it was a trail period and the payments would be {$1400.00} before that the payments were only a {$1000.00} and I completed the trail process and for the third time they had some loan monitor from XXXX tell me that I did not complete my paperwork. This continues to be OCWEN 's answer when asking where is my documents to finalize the loan modification. I had to file Bankruptcy against my better wishes just to save my home. I completed the repayment plan and OCWEN received monies for back payments monthly. When I called on XXXX XXXX, XXXX to discuss the process for receiving monthly statements I was informed that I was not entitle to a change of address : ( from my XXXX XXXX to my Home ) address. OCWEN after eight months or more finally produce some loan modification forms that they forward to an attorney that is not my attorney : XXXX XXXX XXXX. I continue to await for the loan modification forms and monthly statements. I want to keep my home and I want to make the monthly payments at {$1400.00}. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I received two calls from OCWEN and they stated that they were debt collectors. It was so hard to understand when they were saying due too their strong accent. For many of years this has been an ongoing problem with OCWEN they give you false hope on trying to help their customers. I have been a victim and it appears that they continue to hold me hostage with their illegal mortgage practices. I have also followed up and contacted Congresswoman XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX for additional assistance in getting this right. OCWEN has poor lending and mortgage practices.

Company: CURO Intermediate Holdings

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, 2017 XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX contacted me about a debt. In conformance to my rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I requested XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX to provide me with a validation of the debt that they talked of earlier. I stated this is not a refusal to pay, rather a statement that your claim is disputed and validation is demanded. ( 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ) ) I do hereby request XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX provide me with complete documentation to verify that I owe the said debt and have any legal obligation to pay you XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX I have not received documentation demonstrating compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) ( 15 USC 1692g Sec. 809 ( b ). They did attempt to send a deceptive/new contact agreement to sign with no validation as requested. My right to dispute the debt was not in compliance as well. 

The company sent verification letters not debt validation letters as requested. The verifications letters shows the name of the alleged creditors. The original terms and or agreement stipulates arbitration and not a third party collection agency. The admitted they are a third party and not an arbitrator, which violates the terms. Once again, the requested information is outside of the 30 day FDCPA 15 USC 1692g SEC. 809 b  The company stated that they resecarhed the the issue, the could not have if clearly written in the arbitration agree with the alleged creditor XXXX XXXX which states all conflicts shall be sent to arbitration and not collections. The request for arbitration was ignored by the alleged rapid cash creditor and I received communications from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX without researching they sent incorrect informato the credit agencies without verifying what they were validating as a debt belonging to me. A copy of a debt from the alleged original creditor alleging I owed a debt is not validation of a debt.

Complaint narrative:
I have several liens reporting on my credit file by this company. XXXX and XXXX are not reporting any lien. upon checking my credit report I downloaded today, there is no way to verify that these liens belong on my credit report. The only information reported is a reference number, amount, filing date. I then called Transunion today, XXXX XXXX, XXXX and spoke to a representative, XXXX. I questioned him about the issue. XXXX claimed that what we see on the credit report is also what they can see, meaning they do not see my DOB, SSN nor address linked to the liens they are reporting. I questioned XXXX about the XXXX XXXX XXXX  program and told him that if Transunion 's system does n't show my DOB, SSN and my address, the liens should have been removed last XXXX XXXX, XXXX. XXXX claims that the standards have been applied to the system already and remaining liens where verified. The question is how was it verified if they do not keep records of DOB, SSN or address associated with the liens? He then said they verified the information directly from courthouses electronically. I do not think that the liens reference # s, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX belong on my credit report. He initiated the dispute over the phne and provided me with a file number # XXXX

Company: Receivables Performance Management, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX, I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX concerning a new bill I received, even though I no longer had an account with the company. 

I had transferred my account to my now ex-wife and she was legally responsible for the account as part of a divorce proceeding. She was the only person that actually had telephone service through XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I was advised that when the transfer was accomplished, there were two telephone numbers transferred to her, but she refused one of the numbers. XXXX XXXX XXXX representatives advised me that I was responsible for paying for the number that remained. 

Prior to this transfer, the number in question was simply a " placeholder '' number with no device, calling plan, nor data plan. The fee to keep the number assigned to the account was XXXX per month. However, after this transfer, XXXX XXXX XXXX began charging me XXXX per month for the same number, without notifying me of any change. I had no means to access any service on this line whatsoever. 

I disagreed that I owed more than XXXX for something I could not actually use in anyway. XXXX XXXX XXXX elevated that call to a supervisor, who completed a protest for forwarding up the approval chain. I never heard anything else from XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

In approximately XXXX XXXX, I noticed a new collection account on my credit report. XXXX XXXX XXXX had turned this account over for collection and this is hurting my credit score.
