Company: Netspend Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I was taken by ambulance to XXXX Hospital at XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Texas. While I was in the hospital ( note, I'm a XXXX veteran awaiting a XXXX XXXX and not in good health and all ) I believe my home health aide robbed my apartment in XXXX of laptop, card, cellphone and other items and used my card for about {$1600.00} in charges over the next few weeks. I was released in XX/XX/XXXX and immediately contacted XXXX XXXX NetSpend to file a dispute and freeze the card. My medical power of attorney, XXXX XXXX, at my request, contacted NetSpend to freeze the card in XX/XX/XXXX, they brushed him off and hung up on him. NetSpend, rather than really investigating the claim and following the EFTA and other federal laws, brushed off the dispute and just closed my account on the 10th business day when required to credit my account. By unilaterally deciding to close my account, after the cut off date for social security, it caused my VA/SSI benefits to be delayed almost 2 weeks. They gave a boiler plate resolution and justification for the dispute and have not allowed me any appeal or dispute of their " investigation ''. Documentation was submitted and overlooked. How was I responsible for fraudulent charges made in XXXX while I was in hospital in XXXX intubated. They said charges were consistent ... Four charges of almost the same amount at XXXX in 10 minutes ( {$100.00} )???? Balance inquiry which I never do cause of the app. They stole my laptop and phone. All personal information. Including my PIN. Further, they used the card to rent bikes by XXXX XXXX XXXX ... .I 'm a XXXX XXXX candidate using a XXXX and on XXXX  ... .how am I renting bikes in XXXX and XXXX while I am  laying in a hospital in XXXX. I wish I could ride a bike again. But, with all this obvious, prima facie evidence and documentation, NetSpend refused to honor the dispute and federal regulations and have by their unappealable actions have blamed the victim and then victimized the victim even more. Under the CPA and EFTA, I'm supposed to be protected from fraudulent charges. Yet NetSpend has allowed someone to take my federal benefits and just says oh well. I mean, they used the card for XXXX  and XXXX XXXX, both of which I already had an account. Why would I get secondary XXXX accounts???? Also please note. I have a notorized affidavit I sent NetSpend but can't upload it as it's over 10mb

Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Pendrick Capital Partners Holding, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
This account {$340.00} for XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX showed up on 2 of my credit reports XXXX and XXXX. It was from 2012 apparently and supposed medical bill. This collection account was purchased from Pendrick Capital Partners LLC and then sent to XXXX XXXX. I disputed said account as it only had my name and nothing else. I made calls for about 2 weeks and unable to actually verify debt. When disputing with credit bureaus XXXX advised debt is verified but there is no social security number, address has never been mine or the phone number listed. When you see my address on letters from XXXX is because they got it when I disputer with credit bureaus. When I sent in verification of debt with XXXX they only provided what was sent to them from Pendrick Capital. I have never once received an actual statement or bill regarding this and refuse to pay it. I think it is a shady tactic for collection agencies to throw these accounts on credit reports when debts are 7 years old to try and force someone to pay something that cant be verified other than a name. I have spoke to Pendrick Capital as well and they cant even verify anything outside of my name.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute the account listed on my credit report as XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have disputed this account information as inaccurate with you, and you have come back to me and stated you were able to verify this debt. How is it possible that Equifax can claim to verify this alleged debt when the Collection Agency itself obviously can not. 

Under the laws of the FDCPA, on XX/XX/XXXX I contacted the collection agency directly myself and they did not even reply to my inquiry. I have been unable to receive any communication from them to verify that this is indeed my debt. 

On XXXX XXXX XXXX I filed a Consumer Protection case with the CFPB disputing the erroneous file on my credit with XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX  again did not even respond to the CFPB claim. Claim # XXXX I enclose copies of my requests to the collection agency, asking them to validate these alleged debts, and the receipts showing that I sent these letters certified signature request. This debt is not mine and I was given no evidence of my obligation to pay this debt to this collection agency. 

The FCRA requires you to verify the validity of the item within 30 days. It has now been approximately 4 months since my first inquiry, with no validation/proof that this debt is mine from either the Collection Agency or the Credit Bureau. There is a clear case of unverified debt here, and I urge you to remove this item quickly before I am forced to take legal action.

If you continue to list the disputed item on my credit report I will find it necessary to sue Equifax for actual damages and declaratory relief under the FCRA. According to this regulation, I may sue in any qualified state or federal court, including small claims court in my area. 

While I prefer not to litigate, I will use the courts as needed to enforce my rights under the FCRA. 

I look forward to an uneventful resolution of this matter. 

Sincerely

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, we received notification from XXXX  XXXX XXXX  that our mortgage servicing was transitioning to Select Portfolio Servicing effective XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, once we verified the mortgage service moved, we paid our mortgage in the amount of {$1600.00} which they deposited on XX/XX/XXXX. We have paid our mortgage on XX/XX/XXXX and you deposited it on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$1500.00} and on XX/XX/XXXX we paid {$1600.00} and on XX/XX/XXXX we paid {$1700.00} and our mortgage remains current and paid according to the invoices they send out on a monthly basis. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, SPS transferred {$1900.00} to XXXX XXXX for our homeowners insurance that they labeled as hazard insurance In XXXX, we moved our servicing of our homeowners insurance to XXXX XXXX and informed XXXX  XXXX that we would be paying directly to XXXX XXXX to earn discounts as we arranged all our insurance needs under one umbrella. XXXX XXXX is our insurer today. The payment SPS sent on XX/XX/XXXX from our escrow was made in error, we pay XXXX XXXX directly. Our XXXX  XXXX  agent confirmed that on XX/XX/XXXX they returned the funds to SPS Select Portfolio Servicing. Those funds were returned to SPS in XXXX and they withheld the funds from our account for 3 months. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, SPS sent a refund check in the amount of {$1300.00} which is {$620.00} short of the overpayment. We have served SPS with 2 notices of error regarding this matter. SPS fraudulently took money from us that was an overpayment of our Homeowners Insurance when we owed nothing to them as our mortgage and escrow accounts were 100 % current based on their billing. We believe that SPS took {$620.00} in funds, without explanation, to insert into an Escrow account and boost the value of the account ahead of schedule and we believe this a breach of contract on our mortgage.

Complaint narrative:
I have been banking with Bank Of America for years. I deposited a check on for {$940.00} that was a paper check from XXXX. Bank of America took 14 days to clear my check. They informed me on the customer service line it was because the Federal Reserve would not clear the check for 14 days. I contacted the Federal Reserve and they stated that the only way a check should be held for more a few days is if you just open your account with 30 days which I have not. I contacted the customer service and asked to file a complaint. I was informed that they take complaints but you never hear an outcome or resolution to the complaint.

Company: Capital Accounts, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I have made payments to Capital Accounts in the amount of XXXX ( receipts attached ) for a dental bill that XXXX XXXX XXXX has turned over to Capital Accounts. The original bill is XXXX. The original letter from Capital Accounts stated I owed XXXX with interest charged to the XXXX. After paying the XXXX a balance of XXXX remaining. Today I called Capital Accounts to offer them XXXX to close the account. The representative refused and also stated my balance is over XXXX. I asked to speak with a supervisor or manager. The Representative stated that he was the supervisor and they do not settle accounts. Capital Accounts is charging an extreme amount in interest keeping me hostage to a debt already paid. 
Originally XXXX XXXX was never owed this money, because they did not complete the work leaving me to seek another dentist ( XXXX XXXX ) completed the work ( both original bills are attached )

Complaint narrative:
I received a voicemail message from Perfection Collection stating " this is a call regarding field documentation I have here for you that requires your signature so you need to be available. Make sure you have a photo ID and a witness present. If you're not going to be available today you must get in contact with the filing office directly to avoid any further action being taken. Their number is XXXX. Make yourself available. You have been notified and I will see you shortly. '' This same message was also left on the voicemails of my stepfather and ex-mother in law. The message to my stepfather also stated that if I did not get in touch with the filing office immediately it would be considered a " mark against me. '' They called me in a panic because the message implied it was a law enforcement agency. I have never been left a voicemail by this collection agency before, nor have I received anything in the mail regarding the debt. This was my first communication with them. When I called them back to find out who this was and what it was about, they refused to send me anything in writing. I spoke to Ms. XXXX and was told if I didn't pay right then, I was refusing to cooperate and I better have a XXXX good attorney.
