Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: BB&T CORPORATION
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
BB & T has a policy where, if the full amount of a mortgage payment is not received, they place the payment they did receive in a suspense account rather than crediting the partial payment to the mortgage loan. They leave the payment in suspense until subsequent payment is received ; they then deduct the shortfall amount from the current month 's payment and add it to the prior month 's payment and apply it to the loan and then move the current month 's payment into suspense. In our case, our payment increased due to an escrow increase ; we did n't realize that when we paid the escrow shortfall in full that our payment amount was still increasing, so we did not change our monthly remittance. As a result, we now have negative information that was reported to the credit bureaus making it seem as if we have not been paying on our mortgage at all. I believe the payment application process is an improper business practice.

Please resolve this manner as soon as possible. Thank you.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Several months back I went to Experian to get a copy of my credit report for my husband myself, using XXXX of my credit cards. Over the last 9 months Experian has been charging my card for a monthly membership fee that I was unaware of in the amount of {$43.00} a month. They automatically enrolled me and my husband in a monthly membership without my knowledge or consent. The only reason I did n't discover it until recently is because I put that card away and was trying to pay it off. When I realized the balance was going up instead of decreasing, I checked my online statements and realized what Experian had been doing. When I called to dispute it. They said that it was an automatic enrollment and I was out of luck. I had to jump through a bunch of hoops to cancel it getting my credit card company involved to assist me. They 've charged my card {$350.00} over the last nine months. I was so upset that they would do something so underhanded. I had no idea that they automatically enrolled me in a monthly membership. Saddest part is I thought they were supposed to protect the consumer not take advantage.

Complaint narrative:
I requested Experian provide me verification of negative on my credit. Fair Credit Reporting Act requires them follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information on my credit report. Therefore, I am requested them verify the item I am disputing at a higher standard than a computer generated inquiry, XXXX or third party database search. They sent me the typical verification with the creditor information, but failed to give verifiable proof that this was mine.

State: MA

Complaint narrative:
As a private citizen I was caught up in the extensive recession as millions of other American citizens were. I eventually paid off all of my debt after obtaining another job. XXXX XXXX XXXX shows a balance of {$150.00} on my account that they initially charged off for {$1200.00}. However, once XXXX XXXX XXXX accepted my payment that standard of the debt can no longer be that of a " Charge Off ''. This is the guideline under FDIC Rule 5000. Now if XXXX XXXX XXXX is owed a balance, I request an updated statement or invoice. I will pay the balance immediately. Upon that time of payment, I demand that the Rule 5000 interpretation apply and that all references to " Charge Off '' be eliminated, and that the timeline for deletion be narrowed to the 7-year period of the account 's first late payment. XXXX XXXX XXXX is essentially holding my credit report hostage for a simple payment of {$150.00}. Once the balance is paid, the " Charge Off '' standard has been eliminated legally and permanently.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
The issue is that XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion have not removed information off of my report that does n't belong to me. I started this process with them in XXXX and it is XXXX. I have been more than patient. At this point I have obtained an attorney to start the process of filing a small claims case against all XXXX bureaus. There is information on my report that does not belong to me and I have stated that every month. At this point the Bureaus have stopped responding to me. This is their final chance to do right, by removing these items off of my report before they are contacted by my attorney. There are also several addresses on my reports that do not belong to me either. 
Attached to this complaint are word documents of each bureau with everything that should not be on there. Addresses included. It is my expectation that they remove the items after I have been disputing these items for 10 months. If not, they are facing a lawsuit.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
An account on my credit report has a mistaken date. I mailed in a debt validation letter to allow XXXX to correct the information. I received a letter in the mail, stating that Experian received my correspondence and found it to be " suspicious '' and that " I did n't write it ''. Experian 's letter is worded to imply that I am incapable of writing my own letter. I was deeply offended by this implication. 
I called Experian to figure out why my letter was so suspicious. I spoke to a representative who was incredibly unhelpful, She did not effectively answer any questions I asked of her, and she kept ignoring what I was saying regarding the offensive letter and my dispute process. I feel the representative did what she wanted to do, and I am not satisfied. It is STILL not clear to me why I received this letter. I typed this letter, I signed this letter, and I paid to mail this letter, yet Experian willfully disregarded my lawful request. 
I am disgusted with this entire situation, and I would like for my dispute to be handled appropriately, and I would like for an Experian representative to contact me and give me a real explanation for this letter.

Complaint narrative:
Experian will not remove debt off of my credit that can not be properly validated. I do n't know what they take as validation but this company trying to get money out of me has not sent me one thing to prove anything I owe. XXXX removed everything and followed the law. Not sure why Experian is not. 

I have a company saying I owe medical debt. This company WILL NOT validate this debt. It has been over 60 days since they have received my certified letter requesting this ( attached XXXX. The debt collection agency has thirty XXXX 30 XXXX calendar days to respond to a debt validation request. If a debt collector has failed to respond to a debt validation request, then they have essentially admitted, per Texas XXXX that the debt in question is inaccurate. The debt collector has five XXXX 5 XXXX days after admission of inaccuracy of this debt to cease collections and remove credit bureau listings. They have not sent an admission of inaccuracy or any other information. I am a residence of Texas and under Texas XXXX. ( under the FCRA ) A debt collection company attempting to collect debt in Texas must be bonded and licensed to do so. Failure to maintain an active surety bond is grounds for an immediate cessation of collections and reporting to major credit bureaus. 

Experian has NOT done their job in accurately upholding the FDCPA or the FCRA. If they would have they would have investigated properly and understood that this company is trying to illegally get money out of me. This company will not and can not prove this debt is mine and is n't even allowed to legally operate in my state. To accurately validate and verify this debt the items listed below are needed, if Experian can not produce these items that the company has sent to them then it needs to be removed from my credit! 

The name and address of the original creditorThe original date of default or non-payment of the debt with original creditorThe date the debt was transferred from the original creditor to the third party debt collectorThe original balanceThe current balanceContract between the original creditor and the collection agencyAny fees added by your agency.

Complaint narrative:
The XXXX XXXX organization sent my account to a collection company, Receivables Management of XXXX VA, without billing us directly. My family of XXXX has lots of XXXX medical issues in the course of a year, and in every case, we always pay our bill immediately, or in exceptional cases make arrangements to pay extremely large bills over a series of installments. We have a high deductible medical insurance plan, and routinely we pay over {$6000.00} in medical costs until the deductible is met, and when the deductible is met, our insurance faithfully covers the remainder. We use our local XXXX XXXX 6 or 7 times a year, at least until now, and we have never had any issues, and our credit reports demonstrates that we do n't have issues with anyone else. We first became aware that XXXX had sent a balance to collections with Receivables Management of XXXX VA XX/XX/2016 when my daughter required medical care. Naturally, as soon as we were informed that anything was outstanding, we paid the bill in full immediately at the front desk of XXXX XXXX. We contacted the credit bureaus about the matter, and naturally the erroneous information was " confirmed ''. This is an abusive practice and I can not fathom what business purpose it serves to take ordinary receivable matters in turn them into inappropriate collection practices.
