State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2018, I received a phone call and voicemail from XXXX XXXX stating she was attempting to contact me to locate me from the civil litigations department, and they were sending a couier to my place of employment within 24 hours if I did not contact them, and there would be a case filed against me resulting in a judgment. This same message was also left on my husbands voicemail as well just 2 minutes after calling me. When I called the number back I spoke with XXXX XXXX who stated she was a representative with an attorney 's office, and I asked her if she worked for the State of Texas Attorney 's office since she was calling from an XXXX number and she told me she did. I asked for the name of the attorney and was only told there are several attorneys in her office. So I asked for the name of the company, and she state United Recovery Solutions to which I replied this is a debt collector. I told her not to call again and send all correspondence through the mail. My husband not knowing what was going on returned the call on his voicemail and without verifying ANY information except his phone number proceeded to speak to him freely about the alleged debt, and told him they were sending a courier out to serve me with papers at my place of employment. Shockingly no one ever showed up. On XX/XX/2018 I called this number back and spoke with XXXX who informed me no courier would be coming and asked if I was aware there was a notice to appear filed against me. I told her no because I was never served any papers. She asked if I would like this information over the phone. I told her no I would like everything in writing. She immediately hung up the phone. Throughout the day on XX/XX/2018, I spoke with several people in this office and recorded all conversations. Several times I was hung up on, and put on eternal hold as soon as they heard my name. Every time I called back. When I asked for a physical mailing address the phone would " break up '' only then and with each person ... I was denied a full physical address. I requested a letter in my email from this " company '' and even the letter head does not have a complete address.

Complaint narrative:
I have a child support case in my history of open/ delinquent accounts. It was for one year in 1998. I was not delinquent on child support payments. I was exempt from this back pay because I was on XXXX. When my case was transferred to California the original state forgot to share this information & California went after my bank accounts, illegally garnishing XXXX checks on three occasions. After the third time I was furious! I sent them a legal letter and the case was closed with no money paid or owed. This should not be on my credit report. It reflects badly on me as it may affect my credit score but also reflects badly on me professionally. It should never been reported as delinquent and it should not be on my credit report at all. 
And also, my work does credit checks on new hires and when we get leases through the company. No body I work with knows I had a child as a XXXX that I gave up for XXXX  It is not ok that the people I work with find out this way.

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, IA XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Re : XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Student Loan Account Number XXXX Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am contacting you to seek your assistance with an erroneous 90-day account delinquency that was reported by the referenced creditor to the three major credit reporting agencies in XX/XX/XXXX. As of XX/XX/XXXX, my student loan account was placed on deferment. On XX/XX/XXXX, I suffered a horrific accident when a winter storm packing high winds caused a mature white pine tree to fall, and it landed on me. I was in the XXXX for eight days undergoing XXXX. I was released to a XXXX XXXX  and was subject to XXXX and aXXXX XXXX XXXX   and XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX, a period of eight months. I was on XXXX   and unable to take care of myself requiring help with my basic needs, such as feeding, bathing, clothing, etc. I did not receive correspondence warning me that the loan was approaching the end of the deferment period, nor do I have record of the lender making direct contact with me until 2.5 months after the deferment had expired. Once contact was made, the deferment was extended but the lender did not retro date the deferment leaving the derogatory information as initially reported. I feel that I have been treated unfairly, and I have been discriminated against because of my health condition. 

I am requesting deletion of the erroneous credit reporting, and an address update. My address is XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, AZ XXXX. 

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this matter. 

Thank you kindly, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, AZ XXXX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX had closed an account for me on XX/XX/XXXX, however I don't recall ever having this debt. I supposedly owe {$65.00} but in the past I've been making payments, which has puzzled me. I was never contacted by email, mail, phone call, and to be honest I don't even remember using or making payments for this. I didn't have my first part time job until XX/XX/XXXX so I don't know how I was able to even open an account. I would like for this to be wiped from my credit history.

Complaint narrative:
Today, XX/XX/2018, I was advised that because of a freeze on my credit data reporting by Experian, a prospective landlord and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, CA could not check my credit. I had placed freezes on all 3 credit reporting agencies after the XXXX data breaches a couple of years ago. I have my Freeze PINs so I logged onto Experian and followed their directions to remove the freeze, but I have spent several hours at it and keep getting a message that they are unable to do it. I tried calling the telephone number at which I am supposed to be able to remove the freeze, but the robot voice only offers the option to place a freeze, but not to remove one. I've been at this for hours and have been frustrated at every attempt. I can't reach a human being at Experian of get their processes supposedly in place for this to function. I can't even get into the XXXX website.

Company: Machol & Johannes, LLC

Complaint narrative:
My bank account was emptied and a bank fee was charged this account, due to a Writ of Garnishment dated XX/XX/XXXX, this is all coming from an alleged judgement that is over 10 years old in which I was never given service or notice and a default judgment was entered  on XX/XX/XXXX in New Mexico District Court, but I was never informed or given notice of a Complaint or Judgment. 
After Ten Years and Eight Months with no contact or collection activity on XX/XX/XXXX attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX, filed to reopen the court case against me after Over Ten years after the Judgment was given and this same attorney filed an application for Writ of Garnishment, the judge issued the writ and my savings account was emptied. 
I have never received any notices from this court or attorney and this alleged judgment was filed without my knowledge. The Bank has now given me a collection agency Name and Number that I am to contact if I have any questions, this company is Machol & Johannes , LLC. ( XXXX ) XXXX. 
I believe the judgment is expired and invalid, the alleged debt is being illegally collected and the collection agency is trying to collect on a debt illegally without notice that has long since expired or is noncollectable.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2017 I was in a financial bind and I went to loan max for help. They went outside looked at my car and told me I could get approved for {$2000.00} based on the car and my XXXX income, I then explained to the loan processor that I get paid on the first of every month and he said that that was ok. The way he ( the loan processor ) explained the loan was that the quicker I paid it off the less interest I would occur so if I paid it back in two months I would only be paying back around $ XXXX {$2800.00} Im not exactly sure of the amount but I remember it be close to {$3000.00} because I thought that was fine it wouldnt totally wipe out my income on the second month to pay it off. But on XX/XX/2017 they wanted me to make a payment I tried explaining to them at that time that I only get paid on the first of the month and I could come in that following week. On the first of XXXX I paid {$1000.00} towards the loan at that point they refinanced the loan for {$1800.00} because I paid more than the actual principle on the loan. I then asked them at that point why does the remaining principle balance say {$3500.00} it was a young lady I was dealing with this time she then stated that the remaining balance was based on me paying it off in three months with the interest that would calculate but if I paid it off the next month it would be less, o.k. On XX/XX/2017 I wasnt able to pay off the loan but I took in {$500.00} to apply to it and when she gave me my receipt I could not believe what I was seeing for my remaining principle balance it showed {$3500.00} so XXXX left trying to figure out if only {$27.00} was applied to my loan. The payment at the end on XXXX came from my XXXX check my next payment was due XX/XX/2017 but my check was less because two of my children had turned XXXX and I was no longer receiving income for them and I tried calling them to work something out but they said at that time that my loan was not in default there wasnt anything they could do, they told me to try back once it went into default and I did and they said that I had to wait until integrity ( the lien holder ) released the loan and then they would be able to work something out. We touched base a few times they called me I asked them was there an amount that I could pay to pay it off and be done no more payment plans because I couldnt afford to pay like that but they said no. And on XXXX XXXX they came and took the car, So I asked them to give me a receipt showing that they are paid because they have the car, still no.
