Nothing showing that are able to collect this debt, meaning that the debt was assigned to them, nor does the XXXX that they sent me include the amount owed thats being reported.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has, through gross negligence, leaked the entirely of my credit reporting agency file they maintained ( as indicated by www.equifaxsecurity2017.com when entering my personal identifying information ). 

" According to Equifax, the breach lasted from mid-XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX.  The hackers accessed peoples names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and, in some instances, drivers license numbers. They also stole credit card numbers for about 209,000 people and dispute documents with personal identifying information for about 182,000 people. And they grabbed personal information of people in the XXXX and XXXX too. '' [ 1 ] They have failed to apply the most basic security measures to protect this data, based on congressional testimony provided by Equifax 's then-CEO [ 2 ].

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have had extensive difficulty dealing with Equifax. XXXX was by far the easiest, most responsive company to deal with, and Equifax is just completely fraudulent. Equifax not only refuses to remove inaccurate information, and once it is removed, will just place it back on there the next month, but they also would not allow me to have a Security Freeze even with an FTC report and police report. This went on for over seven months, and then, I finally spoke with someone who said they will only do it if I give them the police report AND pay a fee. That is not acceptable. However, because I am dealing with extensive identity theft, I was extorted into paying the fee. Unfortunately, I paid with my checking account, which I will not be closing because Equifax has compromised ALL of my personal data. I want the return of my fee, and I will be going to court over the data breach caused by Equifax. Had they done what I needed earlier, I would not be in this position. I hope this company goes bankrupt and we never have to deal with them again. They were always the company that had inaccurate information and would n't fix it, so it is not a surprise that they would have a hack of this nature. They are consistently unprofessional, non-responsive and derelict in following the laws.

Company: LJ Ross Associates
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I have recently received a letter from LJ Ross & Associates about a debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Michigan for a bill for my daughter, stating that I owe them for a medical bill that was unpaid. I had spoken with XXXX 's a couple different times prior to that to tell them that they submitted the claim wrong and they would need to resubmit it. I had another child last year and I met all of my out of pocket expenses with insurance so it should have been paid. Once I got this communication from LJ Ross, I called them in regards to it. They told me to contact XXXX 's about the dispute. The visit in question was an emergency visit for my older child. She was experiencing a significant number of XXXX XXXX, which we have sine had XXXX at XXXX 's to correct. The emergency room visit was coded as " XXXX XXXX ''. Insurance does not recognize this as an emergency and that was not the reason that we were there. We came because it was late and my daughter suffered from multiple, painful XXXX XXXX I talked to XXXX 's and they told me that any new disputes had to go through LJ Ross. I contact LJ Ross another day and they tell me that they can not do anything and that I have to speak to XXXX 's about this wrong diagnosis code. I call XXXX 's back and explain the situation on another day and the representative hangs up on me. This is not the first time that this has happened. It takes alot of time to call these places in the middle of the day, when they are open and you are working but you get nowhere. Between 2 hour insurance holds and the games that the hospitals/collection agencies play, you are between a rock and a hard place. The XXXX that happened in XXXX was fully paid for because I met everything with insurance once having my newest addition. This is absurd that i have to keep fighting with them about these things but they wo n't help or investigate. Then, this week, I find that they have now put this on my credit report and I am seeking to resolve this asap.

Complaint narrative:
I disputed inaccurate information on my credit report with Experian. Experian responded and claimed they had investigated the information and verified the information was accurate? They advised me to contact the reporting company directly, which I did. The company in question is XXXX XXXX XXXX. I spoke with billing department supervisor XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, and was advised that they have NO record of EVER speaking to anyone at Experian regarding my account. Furthermore after reviewing my account the supervisor advised me the amount owe is not what the three major credit reporting companies are reporting. I asked for documentation to show them that they are reporting false information and the supervisor walked me through on how to get my statement online, ( I will be attaching that with this complaint ). Experian never investigated so it 's clear they are willfully reporting false information on my report. Experian claims I have a balance with XXXX for {$11000.00}.

Company: HONOR FINANCE, LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Honor Finance has been calling repeatedly ... several times a day for several weeks now. I have asked them over and over to stop calling. 

I do not owe them money. I do not have debt with them. I have never carried debt with them. I have no relationship with this company. They have absolutely no reason to be calling me. Honor Finance is harassing me because a friend listed me as a reference at some point ( without my knowledge ) and she owes them money. They know where my friend is. They know her phone number and her address. It is not my responsibility to collect a debt for them. 

I want these calls to stop. This is not okay. They have called from several phone numbers on multiple occasions, and I will continue to delete their threatening messages and block every single number they call me from. The most recent contact ( after multiple requests for them to stop calling ) was XXXX XXXX, XXXX, at XXXX a.m. (!!!!!! ) from XXXX.

Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have an FHA mortgage through PNC bank and have been working with the PNC and our attorney to process a Deed-in-Lieu of foreclosure since XXXX XXXX. 

Four months ago, the final signed documents were submitted to PNC for the final approval for DIL recording. At this time, PNC through communication with our attorney stated everything was complete on their end, and no further documentation was required. PNC stated they were waiting for their law firm to submit the XXXX title to XXXX XXXX for recording. 

Since then, our attorney has called PNC 2x/week to which they have said, they have not received any update from their law firm. Our attorney for the last three months, has reached out to the law firm representing PNC 2x/week and all attempts have gone unanswered. 

To date, there is not county recording of the property being turned over to the bank, even though they said everything was submitted. 

PNC is telling us everything is complete, and deferring the non-processing issue to the law firm, but have not provided any direct feedback on the status of the XXXX submission. 

I believe this is an intentional delay by PNC and they have are providing us bad faith.
