Company: RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Did not receive any information from one mortgage company ( XXXX XXXX ) that they were being bought out by another mortgage company ( RoundPoint ). Not only have I been dealing with inept personnel from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, but the issue is now haunting me once again with this new Mortgage Co. ( RoundPoint ). With every piece of evidence I have in making a payment by check, to include the image of the front of the check, the back of the check, and the " stamp code '' of the check that I received by bank, the issue is still going on. It 's been a year where I had to battle back and forth with XXXX about how I have all the proof needed for a payment I made that they had lost, and will not own up to their mistake. After countless phone calls, aggravation, and XXXX I had to live through ( and clearly just found out I still am ), I thought this issue was finally fixed. Not only was the issue NOT corrected, but now RoundPoint is starting this nightmare all over again. To add, XXXX XXXX dropped my credit score on 3 different occasions and I had to fight, endlessly, for months to make them put my credit score back to where it rightfully belongs because they could not fix a problem all while I had supported every piece of evidence any would need to realize I was not at fault for a payment they lost in their " processing center. '' To include emails, names, check numbers and amounts with dates, images of the checks and stamp-code for the check. I 'm a veteran XXXX, a XXXX XXXX XXXX, and now that it is XXXX XXXX, 2016 I will, yet again, be contacting the new mortgage lender ( RoundPoint ) to start from square one about an issue that should never had existed in the first place AND to fight to keep my credit at XXXX where it rightfully belongs. This is a major issue that needs resolved!

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX XXXX, there were XXXX isolated fraudulent credit card charges on my XXXX credit card account, an account which I opened in XXXX. At that time, I contacted XXXX about the charges, and XXXX replaced my card. I subsequently contacted TransUnion to request that a security freeze be placed on my account. I did NOT dispute the XXXX account, but TransUnion contacted XXXX and required that my account be closed. Further, my 11 year XXXX credit history was entirely removed from my credit report without my consent. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I contacted TransUnion and spoke to XXXX, a Supervisor in Special Handling. She looked at my security freeze request and verbally acknowledged that TransUnion was responsible for the error. She stated that I would need to contact XXXX to have the account reinstated, and then TransUnion would update my credit history. XXXX, however, has refused to reinstate my account because they were ordered by TransUnion to close it. I am caught in a XXXX and have tried working with XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX All XXXX companies tell me that they have no power to reinstate my account ; therefore, my credit history is inaccurate. Because TransUnion made the initial error, I believe it is their responsibility to work with XXXX and the other credit reporting agencies to correct it. I would like my positive credit history with XXXX to be reinstated on my credit report and my XXXX credit card account to be reopened.

The medical bill was taken care off by workers ' compensation but later on i received a letter from a law firm stating i am responsible for another bill. I called the law firm and provided them with the workers compensation company, the name of the benefit counselor.

I checked my credit report and found out that the said amount had been sent to collection in the new amount of {$230.00} and has damaged my good credit score. I never owed this amount. I have been unable to find a job in my field because of my credit score. 

I would like your assistance to please help with the removal of this negative report on my credit information.
