Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I do not recognize these accounts, and have never incurred debt with these creditors. I do not know where they came from. Thus, I am requesting that you please verify the validity of these accounts, and remove them once its confirmed that they are not mine. 

I believe that someone else may have a relative that may have forged my name ( or used my personal information ) in order to take out credit without my knowledge,  consent and permission. Therefore, please obtain all documents from any of these debts, and even if my signature appears on them, I ask that you review any notes, phone calls, bills of sale, and even compare my handwriting and signature, which I am certain you will see, is not mine. I would be happy to provide you with any handwriting samples you may need ( and my signature does appear on the ID theft affidavit/report that I am attaching ). 

It could also be possible you are mixing up these accounts with someone that has a similar name as me. Either waythese accounts are not mine, and I would like them immediately deleted. Once deleted, please inform all other credit reporting agencies. If somehow these accounts are verified, I would request you send me all documentation, including letting me know who provided any information to you, so that I can conduct an investigation, or otherwise pursue my legal remedies for reporting things on my credit that are not and never were mine.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX two mortgages were transferred/sold ( via company to company ) to Loancare Servicing. As of XXXX the payments amounts have changed 5 times. In XX/XX/XXXX I requested a breakdown to include monies transferred by previous mortgage company. This was received XX/XX/XXXX. Subsequent calls have not resulted in clear explanations regarding increased mortgage amounts. Because I am not confident in the accounting of Loancare on XX/XX/XXXX I requested the cancellation of the escrow acct stating that I would pay insurance and taxes directly. I was told by Loancare that a response would be provided in 5 days. I contacted Loancare two weeks later, was told that the response would take 30 days. I called XXXX was told that there was no decision. I called XXXX was told that the escrow cancellation request was denied due to property being 2 - 4 unit property. I responded by asking why did it take 6 weeks to deny if this is the policy? I would was told that I could re-submit asking for the decision to be reviewed. Bottom line is I do not have confidence in Loancare 's accounting or trust the information I receive.

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was renting an apt from XXXX XXXX XXXX. There was a discrepancy with one of my rent payments while I was out of the country. To summarize, owner attempted to get me evicted. I had to retain a lawyer, we had to sign an agreed stipulation for amount owed, vacancy date etc. Everything was done as agreed, and this paperwork was approved by XXXX County State Court. Six months later, I started receiving phone calls from a debt collection agency advising I owed over 2k in  outstanding rent. I explained the situation and provided case number, but calls did not stop and I came to find out later that this inaccurate information ended on my credit report and has affected terribly. I am still vigorously fighting with the credit bureaus to get this removed. I have submitted multiple disputes through the credit bureau submitting the paperwork and they state that National Credit Systems keeps verifying account as accurate. I have worked very hard to try and maintain my credit up to par and this atrocity has caused me more stress than I ever Imagined.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Hello. I had a fraudulent charge of {$320.00} reported on my account by XXXX XXXX XXXX and I called and wrote to both them and Transunion. I never received anything back from either company. I then issued a dispute and transunion replied it was investigated and was a valid charge. I then wrote and called again and the billing company finally found their error and notified transition that it was in fact a billing error. On XX/XX/XXXX my credit account was changed to say the {$320.00} was " paid off '' implying that I paid the fraudulent charge instead of just removing it from my credit report. I then issued another dispute with them but it still say 's " paid off '' and it would stay on my credit report until 2026. That would not be fair as I never owed that money. Thank you for handling this for me as I have spent many frustrating days on the phone and writing letters.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have repeatedly attempted to prevent NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION from removing funds from my checking account to pay for credit debt owed to them. I am aware I am behind, as I was laid off from my previous job and have only just began a new one, but I've yet to receive a paycheck. I do not have money to spare to pay for the late credit cards. Attempts to prevent removal of funds from my checking account proved unsuccessful even after I had explained that they were taking the last XXXX dollars to my name that was going to be used for gas to make it to and from work. I was told I should have " taken a better look at the credit card policies '' by the representative. I was never informed of these collection methods as it is federally unlawful to remove funds to pay for credit cards without my authorization. But I was fooled by the fine print, I'm sure I was not the only one. I planned to pay the owed amount as soon as possible, within the month, as I have more pressing debts to pay such as rent, car note and insurance. This seems to be a bully tactic and I hope for some sort of resolution as I am now backed into a corner and can't even afford to make it to my place of employment. Attempts to stop the unauthorized removal of funds took place on XX/XX/2019 and XX/XX/2019 on a recorded line with their collection services.
