I have sent over 7 correspondence to all three major consumer reporting agencies requesting validation of debt, correcting name, address, and phone number along with requesting the removal any fraudulent accounts, inquiries, names, addresses, and/or phone numbers showing on my consumer reports that are not valid with minimal corrections.

I took out a payday loan with Advance cash during the Covid pandemic. I could not continue to pay it off with the high interest and high payments. The interest they charge is far above allowable usury so I am not sure how this even happens? How do I know after making payments for as long as I did is the balance higher than the original loan amount? Advance Cash sold this debt to XXXX XXXX XXXX. These people have called me, my mother and my sister and threatened to come arrest me at work. They have sent several messages about pending legal action, warrants, and asking my address to come arrest me. They have also sent several emails saying there was a warrant out for me and even used a lawfirm paper head saying i had an active case. I called the lawfirm and learned that was a lie and that these people were representing themselves using the name of a big law firm to intimidate me. Now I see that XXXX XXXX XXXX has reported this on my credit report. When will this harassment end? This cant be Ok!

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a house with XXXX Mortgage in XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX, I started a PMI or mortgage insurance removal request with XXXX because the equity in the house had reach the threshold for PMI removal at 20 %. I preceded with XXXX instructions and provided a written letter along with a " reappraisal '' fee. In XXXX of XXXX, appraisal agent came to the house and appraised the property. 

In XXXX of XXXX, XXXX sent a letter to me informing me that they had sold my mortgage to Freedom Mortgage, beginning XX/XX/XXXX. I called and talked with XXXX weekly throughout XXXX, hoping to have the PMI removed before XX/XX/XXXX. By the last days of XXXX, it did not look like XXXX Mortgage would complete the request. 

In XXXX of XXXX, Freedom Mortgage took over the loan. I preceded to call and ask about the progress of my PMI removal. On XX/XX/XXXX, Freedom Mortgage called to say that the request was denied and that I did not meet their LTV ratio. The loan has over 25 % equity or LTV ratio, so this finding seems false. Freedom Mortgage 's own website states that PMI removal can be requested at 20 %. 

Please advise and assist.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MD XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX Account # : XXXX XX/XX/XXXX NOTICE TO AGENT IS NOTICE TO PRINCIPAL NOTICE TO PRINCIPAL IS NOTICE TO AGENT On ( XXXX of XXXX ) I checked my consumer report and your company reported an alleged debt on my consumer report. I do not agree with the amount your company has put in my consumer report. Pursuant to 15 USC 1692g ( a ) ( 1 ), I am requesting the amount of the alleged debt, and how the amount of this alleged debt was calculated. Please keep in mind this is only a request for validation of the AMOUNT of the alleged debt pursuant to 15 USC 1692g ( a ) ( 1 ). Please be clear on where this debt originated, how it was calculated, and any supporting documentation that proves your claim is valid. Also please keep in mind that only the creditor is the person who can validate these debts. Pursuant to 15 USC 1692a ( 4 ) the term creditor means any person who offers or extends credit creating a debt or to whom a debt is owed. Only a consumer like myself are the only people who can extend credit. So therefore, I have created the debt, but I do not own the debt. If you claim that I own the debt than please send me the instrument of indebtness with my signature. Also please keep in mind numbers or ID numbers is not a signature. If you can not provide me this instrument of indebtness than the debt is not owned by me and this has to be removed from my consumer report. Please keep in mind I am not requesting that you send me proof of location information ( my place of abode ) I am only requesting the alleged amount of this debt you claim I owe, and how it was calculated plus the instrument of indebtness with my signature of me approving this debt.

hello. i was trying to refinance with one main financial. i submitted all of the initial documents and she called me back while i was still at work. she she she needed a bank statement showing all of my recent transaction and wanted proof of the deposits because they didn't believe the ones i sent them. i was a little uncomfortable with this and asked XXXX if i was able to send it the next day because i was still at work and just felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to think about it. she also said it was her managers discretion and i asked if i called a different branch of one main that i could possible get the loan and she said yes to that. when i got home to upload the documents they closed it because I'm guessing she wasn't getting the commission for it or what. this really bothers me because they pulled my credit and i didn't get a fair chance to get approved for the loan
