Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I purchased an auto through Navy Federal Credit Union. They also required me to send them the title showing they were first lienholder on the auto. I got sick had to move to a XXXX facility and put all my furniture and paperwork in a storage facility. It was there for over 3 years. They never received it. They sent me a letter stating since I could not provide the Title to them. They were going to change my loan status to a consumer loan and charged me more interest, Which is what they did. I would like you to challenge Navy Federal and have them show you proof of title and proof of being first lien holder on the auto. They are presently showing a charge off on my credit report for an unpaid auto loan. Which is presently prohibiting me from refinancing my present car.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
For the past two months I have requested that all 3 credit reporting agencies address and correct multiple errors on my credit report. However, once their investigation is complete they do n't fix nor remove anything but instead stare they have updated my account information with each debt collector I inquired about. Sixteen negative remarks are from the Department of Education and XXXX  ( both student loan lenders ). These two debt collectors have multiple listings of the same account number and loan. I found that one account is reported four separate times. The credit reporting agencies are maliciously and intentionally allowing the lenders to falsify my credit report. I know this to be true because each debt shows up repeatedly. Moreover, the creditors have multiple accounts listed as : each debt collectors name, account number, initial balance owed, listing date, and have N/A reported for current amount owed, monthly payment applied, etc. Also, the credit reporting agencies have inaccurate addresses listed, phone numbers, valid prior addresses have been deleted or removed and they also have two negative remarks that are medical debt. The medical collections are also counting against my credit report and score. Please advise

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX at around XXXX XXXX I received an alert that my credit had been pulled by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I promptly called TransUnion and after not being able to get help the first time, I called a second time. During the second call, I placed a fraud alert on my profile and asked that the inquriy be removed as it was not authorized by me. The representative gave me the phone number XXXX to call XXXX XXXX. When calling this number it goes to XXXX. The rep for XXXX XXXX l gave me the number to XXXX XXXX XXXX, but when calling this number, they were already closed for the day. When I called XXXX XXXX XXXX back and tried to ask questions, the representative was acting as if I was XXXX in trying to find out what/who XXXX XXXX XXXX is. She just kept saying over and over that " They are a separate company, you will have to contact them. '' It is ridiculous how much of a run around I received due to an unauthorized hard inquiry being placed on my credit by XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXl at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX TX. I did NOT authorize this company to run my credit report for any reason and I would like this inquiry to be removed from my report by XXXX XXXX XXXX and or TransUnion.

Company: SIMM Associates, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My father recently passed away in XXXX, XXXX from a terminal illness and he was the cosigner on my loan. In good faith, I contacted XXXX to request a release of the cosigner and instead my loan is now considered automatically defaulted when I have never missed a payment since I got the loan in XXXX. Now, the debt collection company XXXX uses to scare people, SIMM, is contacting my mother who is distressed enough from the loss of her husband, demanding payment. I am requesting that XXXX recall the loan from SIMM and allow me to be the sole individual on the loan. It does n't make sense to treat this as a default because I 've been making payments on time and it will turn a good loan into a bad loan. Amount owed is XXXX and XXXX.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
At XXXX pm cst on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I called XXXX to contact them regarding notices of XXXX debts they have in their office. When the gentleman asked me why I was calling I advised him that I was wanting to dispute these because I have an issue with the balances being owed and that there were unauthorized charges on these credit cards. He asked me why did I pay them for so long and that his collection company was going to sue me if I did n't take care of these. I again advised him that per my right by law I was wanting to dispute these. He again said we will send these to an attorney in your state for legal action if you do not take care of them. I again advised him that I am disputing all three of these accounts and I want them placed in a dispute status. He again asked why I was not wanting to take care of them and that legal action will be taken. I again firmly stated that he is violating my rights by not placing these in a dispute and trying to pressure me into making payments at this moment. I asked him for his name. He said it was XXXX XXXX, when I asked if this was his actual real name on his license, he said no, this is my business name I go by at work. I told him he could n't just make up a name to give me and that I now question the validity of my whole debt because he was being dishonest with me. I terminated the call at that point.

Company: Kohn Law Firm S.C.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
A payday loan company got a judgement on me in XXXX in the amount of {$1300.00} which includes court fees and costs. I started paying them back on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX {$50.00} per month through a debt management company. When they were contacted in XXXX XXXX by the debt management company to set up a payment plan they automatically served me with court papers. I got the court date cancelled by filling out a financial statement and proof of needs based assistance. The debt collection company agreed to a temporary payment plan of {$50.00} per  month for 5 months. I upped my payments to XXXX per month in XXXX XXXX like they asked. In XXXX XXXX i received another summons to appear in court. The debt management company called the collection company with me on a 3 way call they stated we were going to court again because I had not completely completed another financial disclosure form that they sent to the debt management company. The debt management company had no records of their request. The debt collector said if i complete the form completely that we wont have to go to court but i will still have to pay them court fees. I have been called at least once per week by the debt management company requesting my bank account information and employer information for the debt collector since XXXX XXXX. I have paid XXXX dollars on this debt over the past year and have XXXX left to pay. The debt management company tells me the collector is charging me interest at 12 %. This is a 6 year old debt. The reason for the court date on the papers i was served is for unpaid debt in the amount of XXXX. I only have XXXX left to pay plus they are now charging me interest. Is this legal? They have not agreed to a payment plan for whatever reason but are cashing my payments. I should not be responsible for added court fees again i am already paying them in the judgement of XXXX

Company: TRUSTMARK CORPORATION
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I received a call from my banker advising that my home equity line of credit payment would be increasing from interest only payments to 2 % of the balance effective XXXX XXXX. around XXXX XXXX due to a drop in my credit score. The following week I received a letter from the bank confirming the above mentioned. I ask the banker to see if I could retain the interest only status until I could examine what caused the drop in my credit score.  Approximately 2 days later I was advised there would be no change in the actions taken. 
XXXX XXXX I sent a certified letter to the financial institution advising the effect and impact of raising my payment from {$190.00} to {$570.00}. The scheduled payments had never been late or missed. In addition to increasing my APR and payment on the line of credit my XXXX was also shut down and the APR increased, neither payment has never been late since inception. I did receive a response but not from the certified letter. The response stated that the bank exercised a clause allegedly in the HELOC that they did n't provide a copy of. This harsh unexpected increase will at some point send the products into default. The response went on to say the decision was n't because of late payments but rather an overall review of my credit report provided by the credit reporting agency XXXX. I did not authorize a review of my credit nor was it covered in the disclosures ( Unfair Deceptive Practices ) that a periodic review would be conducted that would grossly impact my ability to pay. In addition to the payment increase the rate was increased and as stated the accounts had never been late. Please help, I have confirmation of registered mail copies of the letters etc. Thanks

Complaint narrative:
Today I received a phone call from a number listed as " XXXX '' at XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. The caller was from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( FCC Finance , LLC ) and they usually call from XXXX. However today they spoofed their number to show up as " XXXX '' ( XXXX ) on my caller ID. The representative from FCC called and asked me to make a payment with my debit card when I had already made a payment this month. It was taken by them from my bank account on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I am absolutely sure that this company spoofed their number. Because this company 's intent was to collect more money " spoofing '' is illegal per the Federal Communications Commission.

https : //www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/spoofing-and-caller-id I feel insulted and harassed by this company 's practices and I 'm curious if other people have experienced this before as well.
