Company: Berlin-Wheeler, Inc. (Kansas)
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I had an outstanding bill of  XXXX  ( for services I did n't know I owed ) with   XXXX   on   XXXX   XXXX  nd I currently receive statements from them just fine via email and at my current address. I paid this debt and even spoke to a rep at  XXXX  and said I was fine and it was from a service rep coming to my house for additional services.   On  XXXX / XXXX /  XXXX   I received a call from a collection agency in Kansas for an unpaid debt with  XXXX , I then asked what this is for and they said for {$100.00} and I said for what and they said for  XXXX . I hung up and called  XXXX . Both the billing dept and Collections dept told me I had a  XXXX  balance with them. Then they told me they could n't help me and I needed to speak to billing again. After telling them I was called by a collection agency 5 times they finally looked into it and stated I owed {$100.00} for a unreturned modem from the previous address. I stated I gave that to the technician. They said they do n't see that in their records. I told them I always pay my bills if I miss a bill I pay it as I have before. I also asked for proof of this as I have received nothing in the mail from them saying I owe this. They could n't answer any of my questions but say they sent it. However I received the  XXXX  statement from them just fine and other previous statements. I also said I called in several times prior and this was never brought to my attention. They said it 's not the rep 's job to look at every account. I sign online and my account says I have a  XXXX  balance and I have no messages or notification. I am not paying for something I gave back and have never received ANYTHING in the mail or email that I owe. They can use the excuse of " it 's a different account '' all they want but my email has not changed so they could of sent an email but they have n't. I feel as this is mistreatment and should be reported so no one should go through this as well.

My husband and I sold our house through a short sale. The date of closing was  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . However, Bank of Albuquerq ue ( BOA ) is  reporting the closing as  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . This is impacting our ability and rate of a new home loan. I attempted to contact BOA and they gave me the run around and told me that I had to dispute the information with the credit bureaus and that I needed to call the title company as they would know why there is a year discrepancy. This is ridiculou s. BOA is  the one who agreed to the settlement. I have the settlement letter dated  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . Additionally, it states right on the  Settlement Statement that the date of Settlement i s  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . I am requesting from the BOA a signed letter stating that our closing/ settlement date was  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  and not  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . Additionally, I expect them to immediately correct this information with the credit bureaus as it is negatively impacting both my own and my husband 's  credit score . Thank you!

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
American Express ( Amex ) fraudulently attached to my Gold account seven ( 7 ) unauthorized users with their own credit cards numbers. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT NONE OF THE UNAUTHORIZED USERS WERE EVER KNOWN BY, OR ASSOCIATED WITH ME. Amex told me that the unauthorized cards were " attached to my account '' by Amex 's computer. Before these unauthorized cards were attached to my account, I had in excess of XXXX points. The unauthorized users eventually drew my points down to XXXX. Amex told me that my points were " used for XXXX purchases '' and travel. At this time, my XX/XX/XXXX statement indicates that I have a NEGATIVE XXXX POINTS. I began contacting Amex in XX/XX/XXXX. They finally reissued a new credit card number in XX/XX/XXXX, BUT THE SAME UNAUTHORIZED/UNKNOWN USERS WERE STILL ON MY ACCOUNT. At this time I requested paper copies of my Amex statements dating back to XX/XX/XXXX so that I could scrutinize each transaction, etc. I have yet to receive copies of my statements. Amex continues to deduct points from my account to 'pay back ' points that I NEVER USED. At one point, an agent told me the matter was closed and that my account had XXXX points. Sadly, my ill husband and I wanted to take one last trip together. Of course, I had counted on plenty of points for the airline tickets. Without these points, we are unable to take this trip. Rather than try to help me, they have now reduced my point balance to XXXX for reasons I do not understand, nor can they explain.

Company: Payday America Inc.
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I began being contacted by Payday America on XXXX XXXX. I received both a text message and a I believe a restricted number call followed by a caller Id call from XXXX. I was left a message that stated that Payday America was attempting to contact me regarding a  payment that was due on my account. After I received the message I immediately contacted the company and let them know that they were contacting the wrong person. That I have no loan or pawn item with Payday America. I insisted that they no longer contact me regarding a debt that is not mine and told them to remove my number from their database. The woman on the other end of the line was rude. I told them do not text me or call me again. I then received a call and a text message on May 5th. I again contacted Payday America and asked them to remove my number. The  woman on the other line attempted to get my name. I let her know that I do not have an account with them and I was not providing that but I provided the phone number and again requested that it not be contacted. I have since received two more text messages weekly on Fridays and get a restricted call followed by a caller ID call of XXXX calls every Friday as well and have contacted them every time they have called and asked them to remove my number. Today XXXX XXXX XXXX after receiving both a text message a restricted call and a caller ID call with the caller ID of XXXX I called Payday America again and again requested to have my number removed from whoever is using it on their account. The woman on the other end of the line said that there was no way to remove it and I should just " Block '' their number on my phone. I do not want my phone number that I have had for 4 years to be associated with someone 's account that has payday loans. I do not think that it is too much to ask to have my number removed. I should not have to block a phone number from calling me to avoid a company calling me regarding a debt that is NOT mine. I do not authorize them to call my cell phone for the purposes of collecting a debt. I do not authorize them to text message me on my phone that I pay for to collect a debt that does NOT BELONG to me. I want my number to be removed from the account in which it is associated and I want them to NEVER contact me regarding someone else 's debt again. I have tried 4 times to get them to remove my number and now I am here. Please help me to get them to stop contacting me!

Two weeks ago I had sent a letter  of VALIDATION to Atlantic Credit & Finance Incorporated .

I know that I owed the Original creditor, but as  for Atlantic Credit & Finance Incorporated, I w anted VALIDATION that I owed the debt to them as in I wanted a signature of mine consenting to their company to collect this debt. I just only received VERIFICATION of said debt in the form of an old billing statement.

Company: Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On  XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX  I entered into a  XXXX  month lease for a new  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  with creditor  Mitsubishi Motors Credit of America   XXXX  MMCA  XXXX . Note, that the contract did not assess a Disposition Fee upon return of the vehicle ( see attached contract ). The first lease payment of {$100.00} was due upon signing the lease ( see attached contract ). The subsequent  XXXX  lease payments were paid in  XXXX  lump sum, totaling {$2400.00}, and was received by MMCA on  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  ( see attached MMCA statement ). At the end of the lease the vehicle underwent a Lease Termination Inspection and there were no charges assessed for either Normal Wear & Use or Excess Wear & Use ( see attached inspection report  XXXX . The vehicle was returned to the dealership where it was purchased in  XXXX  of  XXXX . There was not a problem with this account until  XXXX   XXXX . MMCA fraudulently reported to the  XXXX  major crredit bureaus that I still owed a lease payment of {$100.00} in addition to a {$5.00} late charge thus totaling {$110.00}. I 've disputed this with the credit bureaus supplying them with the proof attached hereto but they have not removed this fraudulent charge because MMCA 's electronic response to the credit bureaus is " this account is being reported correctly. '' On a recorded line with MMCA on  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  a MMCA representative stated that the {$110.00} charge is NOT owed but still on my account because they have not yet received a " signed odometer statement from the dealership. '' Whether or not MMCA ever receives a signed odometer statement from the dealership, that has since changed ownership, does not give this creditor the authority to commit fraud against my credit history causing an unjust, significant decrease in my  credit score  due to thier fraudulence.

Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I have no problem paying the assessed fees. My concern is when you are on the automated system and you are paying your loan, the message states the amount includes any fees that are owed. You submit the payment with the impression that the fees are paid. I found out today that the fees are still outstanding. The employee I spoke with indicated that " sometimes the system does not pay the fees and applies the amount to the payment. '' I have still received benefit, I understand that. But, you think the fees are paid and then they are not. At the end of the loan you could have several fees outstanding that you think are paid based on the fact that the automated system said they were. I think this is a deceptive practice and could cost a consumer at loan of money at the end of the loan if they were not diligent. Yes, it is the consumer 's responsibility to read their statement, but the practice should match what their system said is going to happen. Please have Chrysler Capital update their automated system to match their business practices. The employee I spoke with today said that she would have to submit a request to have the funds moved, so they will correct it, but it should not happen that way. As I stated, I feel this is a deceptive act under the UDAAP guidelines, as the consumer could end up paying additional money as they thought the fees were paid and if they just move the funds to cover the fees, it could change the payoff amount at the end of the term. I did explain to the employee that I felt this was deceptive and I would be filing a complaint with the CFPB.
