Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Ostarch Hilmy & McCauley, PLLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am in receipt of a fraudulent notice of default with a demand for the payment of past due monies from a debt collector named XXXX XXXX XXXX, threatening to place a lien on my homestead. Debt collectors can not make false or misleading statements. For example, they can not lie about the debt they are collecting. XXXX is misrepresenting the nature of the debt he claims I owe. Furthermore, XXXX claims to represent an association as his client. This association does not exist in the State of Texas nor the remaining States and Territories of the XXXX, whether in any various form of incorporation or even a recorded fictitious business name. 
Again, the entity he is demanding payment for from me which, self-servingly, includes his very own legal fees, does not exist. XXXX debt collection practices are seemingly those a reasonable person would perceive as fake, abusive, and contrived by a scammer Additionally, with blatant and complete disregard to The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) a federal law that instructs debt collectors in what they MUST do when attempting to collect certain types of debt, he knowingly and purposely omitted the most important item that he is legally required to furnish me the amount owed. Not only did XXXX purposely disregard the law regarding this, he also failed to provide the amount, in writing, within five days after his initial contact in a validation letter as mandated by the FDCPA. The only alternative to this willful omission would be the public display of his utter and complete incompetence. Competent debt collectors and attorneys are familiar with the basic, minimalistic rules of the FDCPA which they must abide by, including the validation of a debt. Once that takes place, as required by law, the clock starts ticking and the proposed debtor would have 30 days to respond in agreement or disagreement from the date of validation. Instead, XXXX has chosen to ignore the law and demand payment in full for an undisclosed, phantom amount of money within twenty-one days ( 21 ) and threats to foreclose on my homestead if I do not pay an unspecified amount that is unsubstantiated by the required documentation as per FDCPA. XXXX demonstrates his attorney misconduct via his false and misleading statements, his failure to disclose any relevant facts, his hiding of evidence ( if any ), and his indolence to law. He is threatening to take my homestead without justification for a debt I do not owe. The very sad truth of this matter is that XXXX is perpetrating an illicit debt collection scam for his personal financial gain. He should be disciplined for misconduct with haste. His actions are an insult to your profession. XXXX XXXX XXXX is sloppy

Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I called Aidvantage on XX/XX/XXXX to switch from an IBR plan to the SAVE plan and was told to expect a response by XX/XX/XXXX. I never heard back from them about my new monthly payment amount, so I called again today, XXXX. The customer service representative said that Aidvantage had never submitted my application. She informed me that since it was after XXXX, I would be charged {$5.00} to switch to SAVE. According to the Department of Education, switching repayment plans should be free ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). For one, it seems unfair that I was charged for something that was clearly a mistake on the part of my loan servicer. It also seems like a problem that they are not submitting applications. Secondly, why is Aidvantage charging borrowers to switch repayment plans???

In fact if you do not honor my original request to verify the items contained in my previous letter, mailed via certified mail, I will file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission against your company. The following information therefore needs to be reinvestigated. I respectfully request to be provided proof of this alleged item, specifically the contract, note or other instrument bearing my signature. Failing that, the items must be deleted from the report as soon as possible.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to file a formal complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding an issue I have encountered with the Department of Education/XXXX . I believe that the Department of EducationXXXX has failed to report my recent payments accurately and has incorrectly charged me interest, which is adversely affecting my credit history and my account balance. The details of my complaint are as follows : 1. Creditor 's Name : Department of EducationXXXX 2. Account Number : XXXX XXXX. Payment Dates and Amounts : - Payment Date : XX/XX/2023 Amount Paid on XX/XX/2023 : {$200.00} - Payment Date : XX/XX/2023 Amount Paid on XX/XX/2023 : {$100.00} I made these payments to the Department of EducationXXXX on the specified dates and in the respective amounts, as documented by my bank statements and confirmations from my payment method. However, to my concern, these payments have not been reported to any of the major credit reporting agencies, including [ List the Credit Reporting Agencies, e.g., XXXX, XXXX, TransUnion ]. Furthermore, I have noticed that the Department of EducationXXXX has incorrectly charged me interest on my account balance. At the time of payment, my outstanding balance should have been {$1000.00}, and I should have had no interest due. However, the department erroneously calculated my balance at {$1300.00}, including an incorrect interest charge. This failure to report my payments accurately and the incorrect interest charge are negatively impacting my credit score, financial standing, and the accuracy of my account balance. I have attempted to contact the Department of Education/XXXX multiple times to resolve these issues but have not received a satisfactory response or resolution. I believe that the Department of EducationXXXX has violated consumer protection laws and regulations by not reporting my payments accurately, and by incorrectly charging interest. I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate actions to ensure that the Department of Education/XXXX adheres to its reporting obligations and corrects the interest charge. I am attaching copies of all relevant documentation, including proof of these payments, my account statements, and any correspondence with the Department of EducationXXXX , to support my complaint. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that you keep me informed of the progress and resolution of my complaint. You can contact me at [ Your Email Address ] or [ Your Phone Number ] if you require any additional information. Thank you for your assistance in addressing these issues.
