Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: Orions Management Group, LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Dear : CFPB I received a letter recently from OMG, LLC. ( Orions Management Group ), stating I owe a current balance of {$7600.00}. When inquiring about the debt, I was informed it was an outstanding debt from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have banked with XXXX XXXX XXXX for fourteen plus years, including both a mortgage loan and deposit accounts. To my knowledge, I have never received any correspondence regarding an unpaid credit card balance with this institution. Furthermore, I spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX representatives who were also unable to provide information regarding the debt. I also reviewed my credit report and verified that this debt is not listed as outstanding. I requested documentation from OMG, LLC., to provide evidence for the debt. I was supplied statements from XXXX that show a balance due ; however, none of the documents provide information pertaining to the original purchase ( s ). These statements provided do not appear to match any known debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I believe that I am a victim of identity theft and that the reported charges are a result thereof. The debt collector is calling and harassing my family, threatening to take legal action, and indicating if I settle by XX/XX/XXXX, I will only owe {$3000.00}. However, if I am unwilling to settle for this amount, they will take legal action and require I pay the full amount of {$7600.00} plus legal feels. They have claimed they have recordings of me from a year ago, agreeing to pay the debt. When I requested to hear these recordings, I was advised that they may not actually have them. I believe the threat of a false recording is being used to coerce payment for a debt to which I am not obligated. The debt collection practices are abusive in that they are threatening me and my family members. Additionally, the collection practices are deemed unfair as the company can show no evidence that the debt incurred is mine. I believe the intent to coerce payment from me is deceptive as the company is claiming they have recordings with me acknowledging the debt. Out of fear, I have taken time off work to try and validate this debt. I have lost sleep as I am afraid this company will take me to court for a debt I have not incurred. During this time, I have gone on-line and verified several complaints of similar abusive behavior. I am very afraid of what this can do to me both personally and financially. I am hoping that you can assist me and other victims like me. I have listed some examples of these victims I am speaking about below XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Denied request to lower payments
Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I called and requested a payment extension on both of my loans with XXXX. The first one on my primary vehicle was processed no problem. I was even able to sign the payment extension through a secure website and within 2 minutes. The next vehicle not so easy - I was told that since I went through a contact center in XXXX, TX that they did not have the capabilities of doing e-sign. I requested that option because of the ease of use and that my situation was quickly resolved in that manner. I then was told that they could fax the document to me ( which I dont have a fax ) or that they can mail it to me. I chose the option for them to send it to me via US Mail. Upon my receipt of the document ( mind you the same one that they could not email me ) I signed it and followed the instructions at the bottom of the agreement to fax or mail ( which I mailed ) a copy to them and to keep a copy for my records ( which I have a copy of the document ) the document that I signed and returned via US Mail. Come to find out my account is now almost 60 days behind because they stated that they never received the document at the address in which they provided as a good contact address for this transaction. I called and spoke to a XXXX who said that I should have called to confirm that the document was received. The document does not state anywhere on it that I should follow up to make sure it was received as that was not a condition that was stated in writing that I should follow to make sure that it was received. The representative then transferred me over to a supervisor who stated pretty much the same thing and seemed to insult my intelligence all in the same interaction. I think that if mailing was an option that was stated as a viable option to assist in this matter and I did everything that was requested of me to sign, return and keep a copy that my original agreement should be honored and that I as the customer should not be penalized for a lack of receipt on their end -especially when e-sign was offered before.

Complaint narrative:
on XX/XX/XXXX National Credit systems responded to my proof of validation letter by sending be a packet and my signature has been forged. I sent a letter back stating that it is my signature is not the signature on the paperwork that they sent me. I also sent proof of my signature via drivers license and other signed documents. NCS ignored my letter. I called them several times to ask who signed my name on the paper and the represent ivies that they transfer to me will start to yell. I Sent another letter asking for validation of the signature and validation of the contract, They sent back they same exact packet that they sent before dated XX/XX/XXXX. This is not my signature and also not a valid contract. A Contract must show valid signatures of the parties to the Contract instrument, in order to verify its validity in law. Contract must be a deliberate and conscious agreement made between competent parties. there is only one signature on this " so called '' contract. Also, the lease expired on XX/XX/XXXX I then went on a month to month lease with the company and worked for rent. This paper that NCS sent me states that the reason that I moved out was because I no longer worked for rent. NCS must prove that I owe XXXX to them or any company that they are representing.

On XXXX XXXX XXXX I sent a certified validation letter, with signature requested, to Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC to verify an alleged debt they claim I owe them, in the amount of XXXX. I have no contract with this company. They sent a letter back, dated XXXX XXXX XXXX, without the requested validation of alleged debt and retaliated against me by reporting a collections to the credit bureaus within the past week and made XXXX inquiries on my report without my consent. On the bottom of this letter it clearly states in bold letters, " THIS COMMUNICATION IS FROM A DEBT COLLECTOR BUT IS NOT AN ATTEMPT TO COLLECT A DEBT ''. They are damaging my credit report causing it to drop while I 'm working to correct it and deforming my character. Because of this drop, I am unable to get a mortgage or rent an apartment without good credit and my family deserves a home, otherwise we 'll be homeless soon. I 'm requesting this unproven & alleged debt to be removed from my credit reports and all attempts to collect this amount and communication to stop.

Company: Seterus, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I thank Seterus Inc. for their response. There seems to be areas for correcting their findings and perhaps practices for other accounts.
1 ) Escrow account : Seterus said that they applied my tax refund to in the amount of {$2400.00} back to my escrow account. That, in addition, " there was an escrow shortage of {$440.00} '' as of the date of their XXXX answer to my complaint .... '' Please be advised that you will only receive part/all of this tax refund if there was an overage in your escrow account. '' Here, Seterus received TWO of my tax refunds, one in XXXX, which they accounted for, but also one in XXXX, of the same amount, which for which they did not account in their XXXX response to CFPB. This information was faxed to and made part of my CFPB file and received by Seterus. Therefore, this second tax refund should be sent me as soon as possible.
2 ) The XXXX tracking of my XXXX payment. In XXXX, I sent at least two envelopes by certified mail. Seterus ; answer seems to have mixed up the tracking for the XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX mailed envelopes. They have the first page of the tracking number ending " XXXX '' which did n't arrive until XXXX XXXX. But their second page refers to the XXXX XXXX mailed PAYMENT which number ends in " XXXX, '' was waylaid through Tennessee, but still was signed for by Seterus ' agent on XXXX XXXX, 2017, so the payment was NOT late. It looks like they mixed up the two XXXX tracking statements somehow.
3 ) New : on my XXXX statement, it says the Regular Payment is {$1100.00}. But at the top of the statement, it says that the " Amount Due '' is {$1200.00}, presumably including a {$30.00} late fee, IF the payment is late, after XXXX XXXX, 2017. But at the BOTTOM, on the payment coupon, it says " Total Amount Due '' XXXX. Then it says " payment after XXXX XXXX, 2017 is XXXX. But the regular payment is XXXX It looks like Seterus ' error here, could make many people pay a late fee TWICE. If this is compounding the practice over thousands of customers, this error could make a serious error of millions of dollars to the detriment of customers and create a serious accounting problem.Seterus needs to fix this.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a notice, via certified mail, to Portfolio Recovery Associates, that their claim for a collections account, with a balance of XXXX is formally disputed.
I requested validation of the debit, pursuant to the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, along with local state laws, requesting " validation, " that is competent evidence bearing my signature, showing that I have ( or ever had ) a contractual obligation to pay them.
On XX/XX/XXXX Portfolio Recovery Associates sent me a letter titled Verification Information Concerning Portfolio Recovery Associates with an account number, and some additional irrelevant information, but nothing bearing my signature as requested.
On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a second certified letter to Portfolio Recovery Associates, once again, requesting them to send me a copy of any viable evidence, bearing my signature showing the account is reporting accurately and that I have a binding contractual obligation to pay them the alleged amount.
I also requested the name, address, and telephone number of each person who personally verified this alleged account.
On XX/XX/XXXX Portfolio Recovery Associates sent me the same exact letter they sent me the first time. Once again, they have failed to provide any documents bearing my signature.
<P/>
They are in violation of the Fair Debt Collections Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Also defamation of character and negligent enablement of identity fraud.
