Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: Fay Servicing, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
We started having problems making our payments and 2 months into our ordeal we were contacted by a representative of " XXXX XXXX '' who we paid {$700.00} to help us modify what they said would be an easy modification, we gave them 2 payments of {$350.00} and We were told to wait for them to contact us BUT that never happened. We tried endlessly to contact the representative who tool our paperwork and money BUT after several months we just got a disconnected number. We were talking to a friend of my son who is in Real Estate who told us that our bank XXXX XXXX  should have reached out to us to give us options BUT we never got contacted regarding those options, we just thought we would wait until the sheriff would kick us out once the bank took our home.Since learning that we had options my wife tried contacting XXXX XXXX at XXXX BUT NEVER got a call back. We have also called him to request a postponement of the sale of our home due to what we believe to be an unlawful foreclosure BUT again we are yet to hear back from the representative in charge of our case. Facing the pending Foreclosure on XX/XX/XXXX is putting a tremendous strain in our family so we are praying and hoping that your institution can help.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Experian, I checked my personal credit report, which I acquired from your company on XX/XX/XXXX and I noticed that a FRAUDULENT inquiry that had been made on XX/XX/XXXX is still being reported on my credit report. 
I contacted XXXX, who conducted the inquiry and asked them to remove their credit inquiry from my credit profile. According to XXXX, they can not see the inquiry and so they can not remove something that isnt there. 
I request that you initiate a REINVESTIGATION into XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) inquiry on my credit report to determine who authorized this hard inquiry. If, once your REINVESTIGATION is complete, you find my allegation to be true, please remove the FRAUDULENT inquiry. ( Do not send me anything via US mail. ) Please note that although the inquiry shown on my credit report is a factual record of the company who accessed and reviewed my profile and although it is only logged on the report, when in fact, an inquiry was made ; a record of this activity, pursuant to federal law, must NOT remain a part of record if the inquiry was FRAUDULENT. 
If you find the inquiry referenced above to be valid, please respond only via the CFPB PORTAL with a description of the procedures, used in your REINVESTIGATION to determine that this inquiry was not FRAUDULENT, within 5 days of the completion of the REINVESTIGATION. This includes providing the name, business address, and telephone number of the furnisher ( s ) contacted in connection with this FRAUDULENT hard inquiry. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. 

Very Respectfully, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I went to XXXX XXXX XXXX Emergency Room in XXXX MD. I was treated there and I had health insurance. I was covered under XXXX for You. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I received a bill for {$810.00} from Transworld Systems stating that they now owned the debt I had with XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I reached out to the hospital, the debt collector, and my insurance company and it appears nobody will help me out. 

The hospital is now saying they have nothing to do with it, the debt collector is saying that they can not submit anything to the insurance company, and the insurance company is saying they wouldn't approve it even if it was submitted ( because it's over a year old ). 

This is not a debt I should owe. I was covered for this service on this date. It was and is the fault of the hospital for not sending this to the insurance company. They are claiming that they sent me letters asking for insurance, but the address they claim to have used is not my address - and hasn't been for over 3 years. 

So, basically, the debt collector wants me to send them {$810.00} for something I should have never owed a XXXX for - and because they sent me this correspondence over a year past the date of service, my hands are completely tied. This is negatively affecting my credit score, which is what I am trying to clear up.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased special optical lighting products from XXXX XXXX, owner of XXXX, an online company selling special XXXX XXXX. They are located at : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX XXXX I sent the vendor 's representative, XXXX XXXX, a quote from a competitor company called XXXX XXXX for specific XXXX  lighting products. XXXX was able to beat that quote. XXXX XXXX promised to send XXXX products. XXXX XXXX charged {$6200.00} to my XXXX XXXX account. After taking my money, they did not send me XXXX lighting products, but they sent me their generic, low quality lighting products instead. I paid for the XXXX products in XX/XX/XXXX. Upon completion of contruction, XXXX XXXX sent the low quality products and I was able to test the products out in XX/XX/XXXX. Four bulbs burnt out immediately. These were not XXXX products. Their website stated to call for a return authorization number to return the products. We called, and they ignored all our phone calls. We returned the products to them and paid for the shipping charges. 

I called Citi cards to dispute the charges from XXXX XXXX. Citi Cards failed to investigate the problem and to credit my account for products that were not promised from XXXX XXXX. Citi Cards did not protect my purchase for the wronged products received. Citi cards is forcing me as a consumer to pay for the products that I did not received. I am asking you to investigate Citi Card 's policies and my rights as a consumer. Thank you for your time.

Complaint narrative:
When I purchased my home XX/XX/XXXX, after settlement I was informed the home had 2 HOA 's instead of the one we agreed to in settlement. Thereafter it was always a struggle to pay both. In XX/XX/XXXX I lost my job, I was still paying the mortgage using my retirement savings. I reached out to Ocuwen, my loan servicer since my mortgage company went bankrupt, for help. They told me there was no way they could help unless I stopped paying the mortgage. Since in XX/XX/XXXX, I was almost out of retirement funds, I followed their advice. I went through the process of filing a modification to the loan three times. On the third time, in XX/XX/XXXX, I decided to list the home for sale since I wasn't sure what the outcome would be and it was schedule for auction XX/XX/XXXX. My realtor found a buyer for $ XXXX, I owed $ XXXX. The buyer was scheduled to settled XX/XX/XXXX. Ocuwen refused to accept the buyer and put the foreclosure on hold. The home went through the auction, I never heard anything else from Ocuwen. In XX/XX/XXXX I received a XXXX for $ XXXX debt write off.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I have received a call from XXXX group in attempt to collect a debt on XX/XX/2017. During this call I requested that they send me a hard copy letter with more details so that I would feel more comfortable giving my banking information over the phone.They said they would do so, as well as sending an email. I did receive an email, however it seemed fishy because the senders email address was a different name than the name that was signed at the bottom of the letter. Since they agreed to send a copy through classic postal services, I decided to wait until I received the hard copy to ensure it was not a scam. I haven't received anything in the mail to this day, so I assumed that it was not a legitimate call as they didn't provide proof of debt in paper, so I proceeded to ignore any calls from that number until I could receive verification. Now my relatives are calling me, saying that somebody is looking for me and that there are charges against me. My aunt even stated that after she spoke with whoever was calling her about me that he said " She can consider herself served ''. I'm not sure how to take that but I do feel threatened. Today I sent a certified letter to XXXX XXXX, with my updated phone number asking them to send me something in paper so I can go ahead and make arrangements to clear the debt. I have also called three different numbers that seem to be linked to this group, and the line doesn't even ring. I will attach the letter, I sent along with receipts to this record. I will also attach the email the " XXXX representative '' sent me as well.
