Consumer complaint received 2018-06-23 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Communication tactics — Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language
Company: NRA Group, LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I was contacted by the collection agency NRA regrading a debt they told me I had. The lady explained this was for an unpaid tax which made no sense to me since I am under the Military Spouce Residency Relief Act and my main residence is Florida so I do not have to pay any taxes. But she kept with the pushing and using the typical collections as to scare me and try to get me to pay something that made no sense. I spoke with my sister who has a career in collections/compliance and I allowed her to get information regarding this debt as I did not want to speak with the extremely rude and unprofessional individual, XXXX XXXX. My sister called NRA on XX/XX/2018 and gave my phone number to locate the account. She was quickly transfered to another department ( never verified who was on the phone ). Once transfered it was the same lady I had spoken to at an earlier time. My sister informed me she was rude and could have spoken in a different manner as far as professionalism. Not once during the 20 minute call did she ask is this was XXXX, or verify in any other way. The only information was that a women on the phone that had my number to locate the account in the office to get information on the account. My sister was able to obtain all of the information on the account and was in complete shock that they never verified. NOT EVEN MY NAME! At the end of the call she asked to be transfered to the manager and the agent said " are you trying to catch me in something '' and she stated to just transfer to the manager. The manager got on the line and started to speak on the account and then I informed the manager that the rep not once verified who was on the phone. She then realized that she ( the manager ) should verify and FINALLY asked if I was XXXX XXXX. NOPE she was not XXXX XXXX and told the manager that a CFPB and XXXX  complaint will be filed due to giving out all account information to a third party without verification.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2017 I had around {$100000.00} in my BBVA Compass bank account, I found out my step dad stole my money and was commiting identity theft in my name, I reported it to XXXX  after I found $ XXXX in lines of credit and credit cards in my name, this money was my inheritance and it was stolen from me, along with my identity. I have filed affidavits and done all the proper steps under federal law for BBVA to handle this accordingly but has failed to do so, my attorney has filed a complaint with the Attorney Generals office of California - XXXX XXXX against BBVA Compass Bank for Banking negligence resulting in the loss of funds of claimant - XXXX XXXX. In the last CFPB response from BBVA Compass Bank all that was stated after a TWO WEEK investigation was dispute it ... I am asking BBVA once more to investigate and return my funds that are due to me under federal law. 


I contacted their dispute department at the number they provided me XXXX, I got someone who knew absolutely NOTHING. He said they arent able to dispute it and that they dont have to abide by Federal Trade Commission rules / laws and same for the CFPB, it was oblivious the man did not care about my situation and simply said oh its late so you know ... after ONE HOUR on the phone. 


I am asking BBVA FOR THE LAST TIME to return my funds that are FDIC FEDERALLY insured against fraud. This is not my issue, and will seek to obtain my rightful money.

Complaint narrative:
Closest option that I took to best describe my problem. The problem is Experian. Their was a 90 day fraud alert placed on my three credit bureaus in XX/XX/2018. I need to know if that has been lifted from Experian as the 90 days has been past. Every time I call them I can never get through to them. They either do not recognize my number or a never ending ads saying for example that I can win a trip to this place or that place. Things like that. I can never get through to them ask them if the alert has been lifted. It if has not could they tell me what I need to do to lift it.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX card from XX/XX/XXXX was dismissed in class action lawsuit in District Court of Maryland in XXXX. Judge XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX ordered XXXX XXXX to dismiss over 10,800 claims against debts Midland tried to collect, they had no license to collect in MD. My credit report shows new XXXX XXXX card opened in XX/XX/XXXX, closed XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX has new collection of the card they opened in XX/XX/XXXX. This XX/XX/XXXXcollection is listed as a Factoring Company. From what Ive read this is a violation of CFPB/FTC subsection 623 I believe. Im not a company therefore how can they resist this as such. Ive contacted all three credit bureaus since yesterday Im attempting to purchase my first home and these two collections are ruining my credit score. I just wanted to make the CFPB aware of the new tactics XXXX XXXX is

using and they may be in for another class action suit if its not taking off my credit report and I can not purchase a house. Thank you for your time in reading this and hopefully stopping Midland from trying to skirt the law.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Items purchased from XXXX XXXX XXXX, supposedly in XX/XX/XXXX, were paid for by check, dated XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$350.00}, marked " payment in full ''. In addition, according to XXXX XXXX XXXX, an additional credit was issued for merchandise returned in the amount of {$52.00}. Those two amounts equaled the total purchased and paid for/ and or returned. To the best of my knowledge no other charges were due on this account. 
While the purchases were made in XX/XX/XXXX, no payment was made until XX/XX/XXXX because no bills from  XXXX XXXX XXXX were ever received by me until XX/XX/XXXX. I had moved temporarily to another address and put in a request for the US Post Office to forward my mail. Since I received mail from other senders, I had no explanation as to why I received no bill from XXXX XXXX XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. In any event, on XX/XX/XXXX, on the check issued in payment, I provided the new address to which any future bills should be sent. Again, I received no follow up bills until XX/XX/XXXX!!! The one bill that I received in XX/XX/XXXX showed a balance due of {$320.00}!! I had purchased nothing from XXXX XXXX XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX, and had paid in full for all purchases made. Nevertheless, Capitol One Bank continued to assess both late fees and finance charges since that time ( XX/XX/XXXX ), according to my discussion with the Bank 's representatives. I offered to pay any late fees/finance charges from the date of the original purchase until the date that payment in full was received by XXXX XXXX XXXX, ie until XX/XX/XXXX, even though XXXX XXXX XXXX/Capitol One Bank failed to send bills to me on a regular monthly basis. My offer was refused ; the Capitol One collection representative insisted that I settle the matter by paying {$290.00} now. I requested a detailed transcript of my account. Capitol One has no right to continue to charge late fees and finance charges in perpetuity once payment in full has been received by their merchant XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is simply harassment and an attempt to extort funds from innocent consumers and needs to be stopped!

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I chatted with a Customer Service Agent. I had a question about what Cap 1 calls an " interest saver payment ''. It said : Payment due is {$95.00} ; but the " Interest Saver Payment '' due was {$590.00}. I had a recent refund of {$500.00}. So, because of this I was wondering why the {$590.00} was due and not {$95.00} ; as any other consumer would interpret this {$500.00} refund in American Currency made to Capital One as a form of money, therefore count it as a reduction in the amount owed. Going through 2 customer service agents via chat, they both said that the {$500.00} refund goes in as a " credit '' and therefore does not COUNT as a " payment ''. Here 's my question, if that was the case, what would happen if I only owed them {$590.00}, and there was a " credit/refund '' of {$500.00}, would they still require me to pay the {$590.00}? Because, if they would using the same argument, then I would have a CREDIT of {$500.00} AND THEY WOULD OWE ME {$500.00}, which they would have to REFUND AS ... .. AMERICAN CURRENCY. So the argument just seems to be a sneaky and unfair business practice. A refund should count as what it is, currency.

I sent a letter requesting the block on XX/XX/XXXX. Along with this letter was documentation establishing my identity and documentation supporting my claims that this was a result of identity theft ( e.g., my FTC Identity Theft Report, FBI IC3 Complaint, 2 police reports, and a criminal indictment ). This letter was delivered on XX/XX/XXXX.

According to FCRA 605B, Equifax is required to block this information within four business days of receiving the request and documentation. While 605B allows for companies to decline to block information, Equifax did not provide any explanation or claim under 605B as to why they were declining to block the information.

It has now been 10 business days. The information was blocked by both XXXX  and XXXX. Not to mention I have a letter from the creditor acknowledging cancellation of the debt.
