Complaint narrative:
The original purchase price of the house was XXXX and we put down XXXX. We were told by the lender that we would have to pay the PMI at first and by the second year it should be removed because we gave more than the 20 % down needed and therefore the ratio of what is owed and what the house is worth would be below the requirement to have it removed. Ive called the bank, Ive placed numerous requests and they say that they will charge the PMI for the next 7 years because thats what they are allowed to do. But now the house is worth XXXX through last view on realty website and we owe XXXX which is well below the 78 % requirement to remove the PMI. Even if the house still appraised at XXXX its still below the 78 % because we put so much down. We just want the PMI removed, thats all.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a new XXXX XXXX VIN # XXXX   from XXXX XXXX  in XX/XX/XXXX, financed for 6 years through XXXX. At some point my loan was transferred to Ally Financial. The loan was paid off in XX/XX/XXXX, but I did not receive a tiltle and called to inquire ; I was told that they released the lean on the title and that XXXX would print the title if I needed it. In XX/XX/XXXX the car was wrecked and processed by XXXX  as a total loss ; XXXX requires the title to release the settlement funds so that I can get a new vehicle. When I went to XXXX to get the title I was told they could not give me the title because it still had a lean from Ally financial. I asked my wife to call Ally, which she did and was told it would take 24 to 48 hours to process ( I do not have the transaction number ). 10 days later I follow up ; They have no record of my account or social security # but do recognize the VIN of the car. I get the same response as my wife except its 24 to 48 hours for a fax and a week to 10 days for the mail ( transaction # XXXX ). 5 days later still no title release so I follow up again. They transfer me to an account recovery department XXXX who says the system dealing with old accounts is down and they will process it when it is back on line, I asked how long it has been down and when it is expected to be on-line and was told it had been down for at least 2 weeks and they had no information when to expect it to be resolved, and that I have waited 5 years a few more weeks should not be a problem. I call back several times asking for managers or some one who can send a release with out the broken system but have no luck. They all had the same story " they are experiencing technical difficulties and they will call me once they are resolved. I called back the next day and put in another request # XXXX.

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I am XXXX XXXX XXXX  and have been serving in the XXXX for 19.5 years and I have a home that I purchased XX/XX/2005. I have never been missed a payment until late last year when the tenant I had living in my home XXXX XXXX. I was trying to keep up with the payment with me no physically living in the home it became very challenging. Fast-forward I received a phone call from a mail carrier that I know who delivers mail in the area my home is in and she asked me if I knew that my home was in foreclosure and my response of course was no. I reached out to M & T bank and they said that they have been sending notices although I never received anything in the mail. I am not sure how the process work so I reached out to a real estate professional and I was informed to contact the bank again and see what the for sale date is. The bank the referred me to the attorneys who was taking my case. I contacted the attorneys who were handling my date and they emailed me the amount in arrears, the payoff amount and the Foreclosure for sale date. I have tried to work with the bank to get this date postponed as having an active foreclosure and I was told that there was nothing to do. I was told that I did not qualify for the program for military because I bought my house before the program for military was in effect. I do not want to loose my home. I am planning to move into my home once I retire which is in 1 year. I really need help with this matter. I did not work hard to keep up the payments of my home to just finally loose it without any notices at all. I hope that I can get some help in this matter. 
Thank You XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I received 3 letters from XXXX Credit monitoring membership dated XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. First letter dated XX/XX/XXXX states that on this same date XX/XX/XXXX the following changes appeared in my credit file : Major Derogatory from Creditor XXXX XXXX in the amount XXXX ( new medical collection ). 

Soon after receiving this information I submitted Dispute Letters to ( XXXX, XXXX, & Experian ) with the above derogatory account information on it that was given to me from XXXX. 

I received a response from XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX ( less then 10 days of me quickly responding to this report ) stating RE : Unable to Locate Credit Report dispute Request. 

I submitted another Dispute Letter only to receive a XXXX response dated XX/XX/XXXX RE : Dispute Status ... .Based on the information provided to XXXX , our records show that the information you disputed does not currently appear on your XXXX credit report. 

The certified letters that I submitted to the credit bureaus were sent expediently and most importantly I am using the same data that can be found on my current status credit report and the information that I received from XXXX credit monitoring. 

I clearly monitor my credit report very closely and I went from XXXX to XXXX ... 33points dropped and now XXXX dropped another 7 points! I work very hard to get where I am at. 

So how can I have a 33 and now 40 points dropped for the ( only ) negative thing on my credit report in which XXXX and XXXX now say does not exist or can not be found? When it is on my credit reports. All 3 of the bureaus has the same information I am rightfully disputing and all 3 credit bureaus : XXXX, XXXX and Experian each received a letter from me disputing this account and asking for validation.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I was hospitalized at the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Hospital in XXXX XXXX, NJ from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX for approximately 12 days. At the time, I had no insurance coverage. As a XXXX XXXX veteran, medical bill assistance was available to me. Additionally, the hospital had a program that enabled the forgiveness of all related debt for the hospital stay and treatment for which I qualified. Immediately after my hospitalization ended, I applied and was accepted into their medical forgiveness program. Within 120 days of my hospital stay, I received a letter from the hospital notifying me that the entire hospital stay and all related treatment debt had been forgiven. 

Approximately 9 months after my discharge from the hospital, I received a letter from IC Systems notifying me that I owed approximately {$6500.00} for an unpaid medical bill from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Hospital of XXXX XXXX, NJ. I immediately called the hospital. During the call, I was told that I had no outstanding or unpaid medical bills. Further, the hospital spokesperson stated that not only was the information about the bill incorrect, but that the hospital did not use IC Systems to collect their delinquent debt. 

After I completed my inquiry with the hospital, I called IC Systems. Their spokesperson stated that she would look into the validity of the bill, but it was solely my responsibility to satisfactorily resolve the matter. IC Systems never followed up or acknowledged this telephone conversation. 

On more than one occasion, I have attempted to have this debt removed from my credit report with XXXX   and XXXX. The reply from both credit reporting agencies has been that the debt appears to be valid. I noticed today that IC Systems has changed the classification of the debt on the XXXX report to show that they are the lender and I am the " borrower '', as of XX/XX/XXXX. Clearly, that is an incorrect statement. 

The alleged debt is not valid. I believe that IC System, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MN is committing a fraud with the goal of collecting a fictitious amount at my expense. In the meantime, my credit score and family are suffering because IC Systems regularly modifies their notes to give the appearance of fresh or renewed collection efforts. 

At this point, I have been held captive by IC Systems for nearly 4 and half years!!
