Consumer complaint received 2018-02-26 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: CONTRACT CALLERS INC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I only first learned of this debt of XX/XX/XXXX when I was notified this collection hit my credit report. I immediately sent a certified letter requesting verification of the debt and information on it as I had never heard of Contract Callers   before. I followed up with a phone call the following day in which I disputed the debt once again and requested verification of the debt. Especially as it was being reported as a new debt with a date of XX/XX/XXXX, when in fact I learned after speaking with them the original date of delinquency for this account with the city of XXXX was close to 8 years prior. Furthermore, at the time I did not live in XXXX, nor did I have an active account with the city of XXXX. Even worse, years after this debt was past due I opened a new account with the city of XXXX without any trouble or notice from them at all. At this time were given my most current address, to which I have yet to receive a single shred of notification or verification of this debt. 

Even worse, Contract Callers has repeatedly violated the FCRA by continually reporting and flagging this account as a collection on my credit reports. Not only have they reported the same debt more than once, they have failed to include that the debt is under dispute or provide me with any notice of my rights, notice or verification of this supposed debt.

Company: Finance of America Holdings LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
In late XX/XX/2017 I applied for a Reverse Mortgage. Everything went smoothly, counseling, in-home Mortgage Review, etc., until the Appraiser took note of the power lines running beside my property. Photo Attached. They wanted a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of the lines stating they were safe and were not a danger. XXXX letter attached. 

I spoke with a different Lender and they provided the actual Underwriting verbiage that pertains to the lines. 

" If the dwelling or related property improvements are located within the XXXX area, the Mortgagee must obtain a certification from the appropriate utility company or local regulatory agency stating that the relationship between the improvements and Local Distribution Lines conforms to local standards and is safe. '' These transmission lines have been here for over 50 years and run thru densely populated areas. I am sure all of the homes were financed. 

After a long silence from the Lender I received a form letter stating insufficient collateral. Copy attached. My home is paid for? 

I have talked with Local, State, and Federal Utility Regulators and no one can understand the reason for denial.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
M & T Bank 's role as a mortgage servicer was terminated effective XX/XX/2017, when I mailed CMRRR a Notice of Rescission rescinding the mortgage on that date the mortgage was not in default and no payments were due. 


After receipt of my Notice of Rescission on XX/XX/2017, M & T Bank has been operating as a debt collector by attempting to collect the rescinded mortgage as if it was in default when it is not in default and in making false representations of the character, amount, or legal status of the rescinded mortgage in violation of the FDCPA.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Received a 'Notice of statement credit ' dated XX/XX/2017. In the letter it indicated I would receive a {$330.00} statement credit which would be applied to my account and would appear on my statement within two billing periods. 
My credit was never received so I phoned the credit card company and it was then explained to me that I would receive my credit by each {$50.00} purchase with a 1 % cash back. 
I do believe this is wrong and it stated a credit to my account. I would very much like this explained to me thoroughly.

Complaint narrative:
I disputed an amount with XXXX XXXX in XXXX. They refused and said they would ruin my credit. They then put the amount they said I owed {$82.00} on my credit as unpaid debt. As of XXXX XXXX, a debt collection agency added this debt to my credit as a new debt and has claimed it as late for the last year. This was an old debt, added onto my credit as a new delinquent debt. I found it on XXXX, due to an app I have, and suspect it is also with the other two credit bureaus, but have not paid to receive a copy of those reports yet. This is underhanded ... adding this debt as a new delinquency.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I experienced a hardship during a natural disaster ( hurricane ). I spoke to a representative at Capital One and was advised of a deferred payment due to this hardship. As a result of this i suspended my automatic payments for this account. I realized about a month later that this non-payment in XXXX is now being reported late. I spoke to customer service and was advised this would be corrected. Two months into the investigation i received a letter for capital One stating nothing could be done. I think this is unfair and should have been handled differently by the representative ; i think giving out false information at the time of my hardship and saying i had one less thing to worry about was horrible and showed how uninformed the customer service rep was at the time.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: ME

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2018 Discover Bank sent me a 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt for the amount of {$3600.00} - the outstanding past due balance on a Discover Card in my name. SInce XXXX effectively canceled the debt by issuing the 1099-c, they can not report a balance or past due amount on my credit report. I disputed this through XXXX, which Discover verified the balance and past due amount, there by violating the FCRA as since the issuance of a 1099-c cancels the debt, I do not own them any amount nor is any amount past due. 

This is willfully false reporting and I demand the trade line be deleted from my report. DIscover is engaging in a clear violation of the FCRA and willfully reporting false information damaging my credit.

My first statement came in with the {$85.00} enrollment fee.

The response from both the representative and supervisor on XX/XX/18 was sorry there is nothing we can do. I immediately cancelled the card for fraudulent and misleading business practices.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX I tried several times to make an online payment, and to call in and make a payment. They kept saying there was a system error and that I needed to go to a local 5/3 location to pay. I don't have a local 5/3 location. Every time I tried to pay them I got this same error. I called and spent hours on the phone and they could never help me resolve the problem. buy the time I was able to make an online payment. it was considered late. and they charged me a late fee and reported me delinquent to the credit reporting agencies. This has happened several times in other months as well. Unfortunately, in this case it was to late for me to mail a payment. I was finally able to make a payment XX/XX/2018 for XXXX. but I was trying to pay the balance in full. It would not let me make a larger payment. I feel like 5/3 is intentionally causing error to get late fees. or in the very lease being negligent in addressing the issues to help clients make their payments. I spent hours on the phone. I have never had a 30 day late. and this is the second time it has happened with 5th third. both surrounding the same circumstance. they refused to correct the credit, and told me they don't save the notes. I paid the remaining balance of by mail, immediately after.
