Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
As of XX/XX/2020 my Equifax score was a XXXX. On XX/XX/2020 that score dropped XXXX points to a XXXX. This drop was supposedly due to a credit limit decrease with XXXX XXXX from XXXX to XXXX. However at the time this credit limit decreased my credit balances decreased by {$860.00} ( itemized and listed below ) which should have been enough to sustain my score instead off causing it to do take a tremendous dive. Additionally, I received a credit limit increase of over {$4000.00} for my XXXX XXXX XXXX I have also received XXXX other credit limit increase and my score has still not gotten back to normal. 

When this incident occurs my Transition score was not affected and is still a XXXX. Please fix this reporting issue. 

XXXX decreased by {$240.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX decreased by {$65.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  decreased by {$10.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXed by {$540.00}

State: WI

Complaint narrative:
XXXX  and Transunion are reporting incorrectly that I am ( XXXX ) days late on the XXXX XXXX partial account numbers XXXX. ( Please see page attached from my credit report showing the multiple accounts along with a spreadsheet for reference. ) First, all of these accounts report a {$0.00} balance and {$0.00} past due. Second, these accounts are currently being coded as an XXXX. These accounts should be coded as an XXXX. I have contacted the bureaus and have spoken to multiple representatives who have verbally stated to me they can not change the coding on these infractions. This is not true. I have spoken to my loan officer, as well as my lender, and it was confirmed that the coding on these items can be changed by the bureaus to report accurate information. I am not disputing any prior late payments however, these accounts are being reported as if I am past due in present day. Keep in mind that it is impossible to be late on an account where nothing is owed and nothing is past due. It is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to not report accurate coding. This false reporting of lates is seriously harming my credit score and all of these line items need to be removed from my credit report. I have contacted the bureau to remove these however, I have not been successful.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
My Complaint is against my mortgage servicer Shellpoint mortgage. I was placed on a forbearance, I talked to someone in XXXX they approved the forbearance due to XXXX, They said they would send me the proof it has been 4 months. I received nothing. I have been calling for 43 days and emailing for 38 days and chatting online because I have been lied to and have been told for almost 6 weeks that someone would contact me in 48 hours. I have now been told that 23 times and now here 6 weeks later I am still waiting for someone to discuss my mortgage & bring it current. I initially contacted them in XXXX of 2019 to start the process and they will not contact me after all my attempts. Both me and my husband were laid due to COVID-19 which initially started in XX/XX/2019. I have been trying to bring my loan out of forbearance and current for the last 2 months so that I do not get reported to the credit bureaus. We are back at work and can pay the past due amount. Per the cares act which I will attached, if we were late prior to COVID-19 per FHA the mortgage servicer is to report me current for the past due months prior to COVID-19 it is written in stone by FHA/HUD and the cares act. I have been dealing with XXXX since XXXX of 2019 to make sure I was not marked 30 days late and due to their negligence and the 43 days of lying to me that someone would call me and still till today has not are trying to ruin my life. Covid came out in XX/XX/2019 We were laid off for months we have been trying to bring our mortgage current for th 6 months and they have not helped me and I don't deserve to be reported late for the last 6 months. I need someones help because as of today I still can not pay my mortgage because they choose to ignore me. This is not fair, for the last XXXX weeks i call and the call transfers me to a XXXX XXXX and his mailbox is full. come on this is terrible. I want justice and I don't want them reporting any delinquencies on my credit report because I have been trying to pay them and they ignoring me.

Company: Harris & Harris, Ltd.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Harris & Harris , LTD dated XX/XX/XXXX advising of an alleged delinquency on an account. As I was unfamiliar with the claimed debt I contacted the office at the number provided and explained that I was unaware of any outstanding debts and requested supporting documents to confirm its validity. I was told they would request the info and send it to me. Since that call I have yet to receive any such proof but I do however continue to receive calls XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ) attempting to collect the claimed amount owed. In response to each call I have repeated my request and each time I am assured the supporting documents will be sent, with the exception of today 's call during which they claim to have sent me several letters and insinuated I must be throwing them out. I took umbrage with such accusations and let my displeasure with their tactics be known stating clearly that the only written communication I received was the XXXX letter which only indicated an amount owed and date of service, neither of which could be construed as proof of debt. I was told the notice was proof of debt. I maintained that the first letter did not contain any specifics of services rendered and as such I could not validate the debt and I reiterated my request for supporting documents. I further requested that they no longer contact me by phone and advised that in response to any future phone calls I will seek counsel to protect myself from unfair collection practices. 

My interactions with Harris & Harris have given me little reason to believe their collection techniques consist of anything more than badgering consumers on unsubstantiated debts. I have seen no evidence of an intent to resolve this alleged debt in good faith and as such I seek intervention.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I have a Barclays Arrival credit card ending in XXXX which was not actively used given my age of XXXX  years and not going out much in last few years. Barclays sent me a letter date XX/XX/XXXXconfirming account closure due to inactivity. I was also told they sent me another letter a month before this one notifying me that account will be closed if card is not used in next 30 days but I did not receive that letter in mail. If I had received it, I would have asked someone from my family to use my card and keep my arrival miles active. I have XXXX miles that are now expiring and can not be redeemed towards the greater value of XXXX points = XXXX for travel expenses. I called the customer service and requested to reinstate my account but was refused and was only offered XXXX points XXXX as fair redemption value for my XXXX miles giving me a maximum of {$210.00} instead of {$420.00} which I expected to use against travel redemption in future.

Complaint narrative:
MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT is trying to collect on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX for an unknown debt. MIDLAND CREDIT MANAGEMENT has not supplied any proof of contract, how the debt was calculated, or proof of purchase of the contract from the original creditor. They simply sent a computer generated letter 4 months ago. I disputed the item with them and the 3 credit bureaus. I have yet to hear back from any of them. It has been over 60 days since the initial dispute. By law, the maximum time to respond is 30 days. This negative account in the amount of {$8200.00} is lowering my credit score and causing issues for credit approvals. My quality of life should not be lowered due to their mistake and not following proper Credit and Collection Laws such as FDCPA
