Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold
Company: BB&T CORPORATION
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
We bought the car after experiencing the loss of our previous car from a MVA in which the car was totaled. We felt pressure to buy something quickly, from the insurance company. We purchased a XXXX XXXX, and the XXXX dealership obtained financing through XXXX XXXX XXXX. The account number is XXXX. The payments became a struggle when I had to stop working as a XXXX XXXX XXXX due to health problems. I tried to work with the company to reduce payments and they were unwilling to work with us to lower the payment amount. We thought maybe we could trade the car in and lower the payments that way, and the gentleman at the XXXX dealership suggested just letting the car go. It would only hurt your for a year. In fact he told us he had done the very same thing and it did n't affect his credit at all. They refused a trade in because the amount owed was more than the value of the car. Being desperate to lower our payments we fell for this and purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$300.00} less per month. I tried to talk my husband out of this but he would change his mind. My husband was diagnosed with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX and does not always see things clearly. They came and repossessed the car, sold it and the amount we still owed was {$17000.00}. We only paid XXXX for the car new. I was not able to maintain employment and had to file for XXXX due to XXXX. We tried so hard but we were so gullible. The car was purchased at XXXX XXXX in XXXX  Carolina.

Complaint narrative:
Today XXXX XXXX 2018 I contacted my XXXX XXXX to ask when and how many times do they report my balances to ALL 3 Credit reporting Bureus. XXXX stated ( and I have their email statement ) ONCE A MONTH. I signed up for My Fico credit score monitoring with Free Daily Alerts. It appears, that XXXX, Trans Union and XXXX are reporting to my credit file balances Two weeks after my closing date with XXXX XXXX, then immediately decreasing my Fico score as much as 20-30 points at ANY GIVEN TIME OF THE MONTH. I find this to be wrong. My XXXX XXXX closing date is the XX/XX/XXXX of each month. Verified with XXXX XXXX. Why is XXXX, Trans Union and XXXX reporting balances two weeks after? And decreasing my score? I am AFRAID to use my XXXX XXXX at ANY TIME because XXXX, Trans Union and XXXX is reporting incorrectly HURTING my score. I applied for credit and was denied because of this game the Credit reporting agencies are doing. I have TREND REPORTS by MyFico where it shows the dates, the decreases and the entire month graph as proof. I also have a written statement by XXXX XXXX  that they ONLY report my Balances every XX/XX/XXXX of each month. What is happening here, is that the credit reporting agencies are keeping my Credit Line Utilization Ratio High, when in reality it is low 4.5 to 7 percent. By doing so, my scores drop. I know my rights as a consumer and I demand an Investigation to  this bad business practices. XXXX XXXX advised I should report this immediately because it is wrong.

Complaint narrative:
Over the span of two weeks, I have received 26 calls to my cell phone from a debt collection company by the name C B E Group. My phone automatically rejects calls from this company but keeps a record of calls rejected. It is my understanding that it is in clear violation to make multiple calls to a number in a 24 hour period in an effort to collect a debt. I do believe it is considered harrassment. I would like the calls to stop and to pursue legal repercussion in regards to this harassing behavior.

Company: JH Portfolio Debt Equities, LLC
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I recently disputed a collection account on all 3 CRA with JH Portfolio Debt Equities several times and the account continued to remain as debt owed. I also filed a prior complaint due to not accurately updating my information on my credit report as I am in a Chapter XXXX bankruptcy. The company responded with the date they purchased the debt and also uploaded 3 credit card statements that had nothing to do with when the validation of the debt took place. 2 out of 3 of the statements you uploaded are not my current mailing address. The response also stated I filed a dispute prior to JH being notified, I notified JH after seeking an alternate number. I spoke with a customer service representative and provided the necessary bankruptcy information and the company continued to respond to XXXX as debt owed. Pull your company recorded lines to verify you dropped the ball on this. I would also like for the company to provide accurate information on when and where letters were mailed and how they attempted to collect this debt. I never received any information from JH Portfolio to dispute. I am not seeking credit card statements, I am seeking information on when a validation letter was mailed and it must be verifiable.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Convergent Resources, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I received a notification from XXXX XXXX XXXX on a past due XXXX bill from XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I immediately disputed the validity of this debt and they sent me back a copy of a bill dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX showing a balance. 

This is in no way a validation of the debt as it does not show whether or not the debt was paid or not. 

Further more the company put a collection account against my credit which is currently reporting on my credit file and has been showing an active open collection although this account is and has been in dispute. It is my understanding that this ca n't happen until the debt is proven to be valid. 

I have called them and sent to date 3 different emails to try and resolve this matter with zero response back.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
As ofXX/XX/XXXX, 2018, my credit score from the 3 agencies are as follow : Experian : XXXX XXXX  : XXXX XXXX : XXXX The stunning difference between Experian and the other 2 is striking. I noticed that XXXX, through its associated cie 's like XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, lowered by credit limit over 5 times this past year for cards associated with these accounts, which all showed in my Experian credit report. It appears that this led to my already low Experian score to get even lower. By 9 points!!! 

This makes no sense, whatsoever. I got the store credit card to finance some purchases, like a lot of other people. Paid in full, 100 % on time. Then this " stale '' credit I forgot about gets lowered because the parent company wants to penalize me for not using their card, and somehow this can draw my credit score by 9 points in the past few months? Really? Are you kidding me Experian? To give you and idea, I lost 14 points for short-selling my house, for crying out loud ... Get real. 

My complaint is that Experian system of calculating the Fico score is completely out of touch with reality, lacks proper gauge for credit score changes, and is out of sync with other agencies. I pay my mortgage religiously, my kids ridiculously expensive after school program, my car loans, contribute to my 401K, my kids 529 plans, have plenty of cash reserve in my account, have a 7 figure net worth and yet, none of this matters. If some rando furniture cie decides to lower my credit limit on some card that I do n't need anymore then, by all mean, that mandates tagging me as a financial problem in the eyes of Experian. 

Experian should be excluded from credit pull if their system is unreliable and disconnected from reality. I am about to refi my mortgage, and the idea that these idiots have a say in this is mind boggling.
