Complaint narrative:
I recently started a job, and today I received this email from the receptionist : Hi, Someone from Allied Interstate , LLC called a couple times today for you. you were n't in the office and I transferred him to voicemail. He chose not to leave a message and called me back a few hours later. 
I suspected this was a solicitor. When you were n't available, he asked who you report to. I asked what it was regarding. The caller became aggressive and would n't tell me what he wanted, saying that what he was calling about did not affect who you report to. He gave me information about a debt that I should n't know about. When I told him you were n't in, he hung up on me. 

This is a new place of business and my boss has mentioned this to me. Places like this want to collect you 're outstanding debt, but this is now reached harassment at the workplace and these tactics have placed me at risk of losing my job. In that respect that means " No job=no money ''.

Complaint narrative:
My issue is with Honda financial services for a motorcycle I financed with them. It all started when I let a friend borrow the motorcycle for a bike night and unfortunately, my friend had a XXXX accident and the bike was a total loss. Not knowing what to do about the situation because the bike was n't insured and my friend was in a XXXX I was not able to pay my monthly payments to honda financial. One day out of no where I get an email from a mother of my daughters friend from her school that a lady from Honda had called her looking for me and she was n't sure why they would call her. I then realized that I had just become friends with her on XXXX and that must have been the way that the representative from Honda got a hold of who she was and her information. I then decided to call the representative that called my daughter 's friend mother and demand why she had the nerve to call a total stranger looking for me and getting her information through my XXXX. She could have looked for me another way. At this point no one had ever shown up to my house to try to repossess the bike or anything. Although the bike was at a tow yard. She then began to accuse me that I was the XXXX doing something illegal because I was stealing a motorcycle by not paying for it and keeping it. I then explained to her what was the situation on the motorcycle and that I did n't even have the motorcycle in my possession because it was completely destroyed in the accident. She continued to say in appropriate things and that is when I decided to just end the conversation with her. I did n't even know how to begin to explain to the mother of my daughters friend why they would even call her! I was so embarrassing and I do not see why she had to receive a phone call about my personal life when she was merely just an acquaintance through my daughters school.

Now 6 years later Honda reported to credit bureaus that I owe {$380.00}, XXXX for a Civic. I have called several times to Honda Finance to dispute the amount and they said it was corrected .Today it is still on my credit report. This has stopped me from getting other loans or jobs.

Complaint narrative:
I currently have a defaulted PRIVATE student loan that originated with XXXX XXXX XXXX. The loan was generated around 2003. After completing XXXX semester of school, I decided to join the military in support of XX/XX/XXXX. I am now medically retired and am XXXX. I am in the process of trying to purchase a home. After meeting with the mortgage company, it was brought to my attention that this debt is preventing me from an approval for a VA loan to purchase a home. The defaulted loan is reporting to only ONE credit reorting agency. I was also informed that the loan has since been sold to XXXX ( whom this complaint is being filed against ) but is being serviced by Allied Interstate. I contacted Allied Interstate to set up a payment plan and was told that they could not accept the terms I brought forward to them and would be unwiling to work with me.

Complaint narrative:
I have recently discovered some collections on my credit report that do not belong to me. Someone has used my name and now I am repeatedly being harassed and threatened for bills that do not belong to me. These agencies use XXXX attempts and the US Govt. should stop this. These collection agencies are relentless and they continue to call my place of business, my home, my friends and my relatives, all hours of the day or night seven days a week. They are trying to force me to pay for services and/or bills that are not mine. Also the collections are from a state I have never resided in. I have tried to resolve this on my own to no avail and I refuse to pay or settle on a bill that is not mine. Looking through my investigative notes it seems that the ( XXXX ) medical collection 's on my credit report are connected to XXXX visit to a NC doctor visit. It seems my name has now been sold to yet another batch of piranhas because I am now being harassed from new telephone numbers from a different state.

Complaint narrative:
I filed a complaint with AHFC due to late notices posted to my account that were no valid. I sent them a formal dispute on XXXX XXXX, 2016 which they received on XXXX XXXX 2016. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, since I had not heard from them, I sent them a second letter telling them that they did not mark my file as disputed or responded to my previously letter that they now need to remove the late notices on my account. They received the letter on XXXX XXXX, 2016. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I received THREE letters from AHFC. 1. telling me again that my payment was late and I needed to pay immediately to get my account up to date, 2. A letter telling me my request to remove derogatory marks from the credit bureaus was denied and 3. Telling me my car loan was paid in full and attached to that letter was the TITLE for my car. So, please tell me this company reports information accurately and timely. If you would like all of this documented evidence, I am happy to send it to you, but it 's all pretty thick. I appreciate your help in ending this as it 's not fair and AHFC had not followed the law in marking my file 1. in dispute and 2. responding in a timely manner. This type of reporting is for a reason, and when at fault, I am happy to take my due punishment. However, this reporting is not accurate and AHFC has done nothing according to the law to correct this error or follow the law in investigating, marking the file as in dispute and NOT continuing to write derogatory marks on my file as payback for fighting them on this. Please help!

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my frustration with the credit reporting practices of Fedloan Servicing. After I reapplied for an income-based repayment plan my payment increased significantly. I did not have the means to make the new payment. As I was trying to figure out my options for repayment Fedloan Servicing reported my account as delinquent. I was never contacted by Fedloan Servicing about my delinquent account. 
To my dismay, I discovered that my credit score dropped over XXXX points because of a negative report from Fedloan Servicing. I went from a credit score that was in the high XXXX to a credit score that was is in the low XXXX. I inquired with a credit bureau about why my credit score was so low. I was unaware that my federal loans were never consolidated when I transfer by loans from a XXXX XXXX back to the federal government. As I understood it my loans were consolidated under XXXX XXXX, but when I transferred them to the federal government they were somehow unconsolidated. According to Fedloan Servicing, I have XXXX outstanding federal loans. Fedloan Servicing reported a late payment for each loan. I now have XXXX negative reports! I no longer qualify for any type of credit! I was planning on buying a home this year but my dreams are dashed by this simple mistake! I am not sure how long I have to wait until I am creditworthy in the eyes of a mortgage lender. Despite buying a home I can no long obtain a fair deal on any credit. As I understand the negative report will stay on my credit report for seven years! 
I believe this an unfair practice. Most if not all consumers paying back their student loans to one servicer for student loans owned by one entity i.e., the federal government would think that their single payment to a servicer constitutes payment for the outstanding balance of the loans borrowed while in school. I believe most do not understand that the loans may be treated separately and that a late payment could result in the servicer reporting a late payment for each individual loan. Servicers of student loans should disclose that a negative report will be submitted for every outstanding loan if you are late on a payment. I was stunned that my loans were not considered to be consolidated although they are owned by the same entity. Fedloan Servicing and other student loan servicers should disclose to consumers when their loans are n't consolidated even if the loans are owned and or serviced by one entity and, as a result, a negative report to a credit bureau will show a negative report for every individual loan. This has indelibly affected my ability to obtain reasonable credit offers for several years!

Company: FIRST HORIZON BANK

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is filed against : First Horizon Home Loans, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and their representativesThere are clear violations of TILA, FDCPA, RESPA, Consumer Fraud, Mortgage Fraud, Mortgage Servicing Fraud, unfair, deceptive, abusive and bad faith acts and practices. I could only select one option below, even though there are multiple deficiencies, violations, predatory lending, fraud and lack of standing. In XXXX 2007, we refinanced our home at XXXX XXXX XXXX - XXXX NJ XXXX with First Horizon Home Loans. We were told of a lower interest rate that changed at the time of closing. We had a VA loan at 5.75 % the bank took advantage knowing we were refinancing trying to eliminate debt. We were strung along for years being promised a loan modification and forced to resubmit multiple loan mod applications. We were deceived to believe we would get a loan mod and were never put on a trial period even though we appointed and were working with a HUD certified counseling agency the bank refused to communicate with them. While they were proceeding with the foreclosure behind our backs. We also discovered the process server fraudulently claimed he had served my wife XXXX XXXX " a XXXX woman '' when in fact my wife is XXXX and was never served. There was confusion and they did not give clear answer to who had the Note, whom was the servicer, whom was the lender, whom was the bank. They used fear tactics, gave unclear answers and tormented us telling us we would be thrown out of the house by the Sheriff on several occasions. I finally realized their Fraud and Bad Faith, I filed consumer complaints against them with several Federal & State agencies they retaliated by denying the loan modification and expedited the sale of my property at sheriff sale within 3 months. During the XXXX months they issued multiple " stay of sheriff sale '' and failed to give us proper notice with an intent to confuse, torment and cause us to use our XXXX " 2 weeks stay of sheriff sale.

Complaint narrative:
I was a XXXX XXXX customer for over XXXX years and canceled my service in XXXX. I returned all the time XXXX XXXX in XXXX. We paid the last monthly bill and at the time of the return was told I had retuned everything. There was nothing to pay the day I returned the equipment. 

Today I received a call from Stellar Recovery , Inc. XXXX, MT XXXX which I was later told is a Division of XXXX XXXX XXXX, and requested to pay a {$22.00} Bill Plus a {$9.00} Transaction Fee. 

I paid the bill and fee because they threatened to report this bill to the credit bureau. They also said they could send me a bill in XXXX days but then I would be past 60 days ( for a bill that has n't been sent ) and I would have already been reported to the credit bureaus. Having never missed a payment in my entire life and having done business with XXXX XXXX since XXXX of 1982, I was greatly upset. 

I never received a final bill in the mail and the person from the recover company could not or would not provide me an explanation of what this bill was for. So I 've paid a bill I 've never received and ca n't verify what I was billed for. 

The recover company left a message on my phone with an automated message not referencing that this was in regard to the final XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX has not returned my call this morning to explain to me what I was billed for.

Company: Immediate Credit Recovery

Complaint narrative:
Contacted for the first time in XXXX XXXX about a loan from XXXX 's that supposed remained unpaid. Live in XXXX. Wrote an XXXX chq as XXXX draft not possible ( too old fashioned ) and explained problem in letter. Chq returned and XXXX draft requested. Started to question paperwork and asked for proof of debt and method of payment other than XXXX draft. Only received unsigned form letter answering questions I did not ask and escalating the debt amount. Thought it was a scam due to time lag in invoicing, clock not stopped when validation of debt requested, debt not validated, no alternative payment method offered, IRC website says they are XXXX XXXX but actual XXXX XXXX site says they are not, lack of contact information on correspondence ie return address, no names or signatures, slow mailing to XXXX ( about a month ). I have copies of all correspondence including registered post and fax transmissions to XXXX. Complaint to XXXX ombudsman XXXX XXXX XXXX, no receipt acknowledged and followed up 5 times. XXXX XXXX letter received and email from XXXX XXXX Escalated Issues advising complaint to be lodged with FSA Feedback System and copy of a loan document provided. Issue lodged with XXXX Feedback System XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX date XXXX XXXX XXXX. Information package from XXXX Feedback System received XXXX XXXX XXXX dated XXXX XXXX XXXX again unsigned, no contact information and no name. Claims much of my correspondence unable to be found ... ..and that even though I ca n't remember the loan does n't mean I am not responsible. However I finally received documentation about the loans but no explanation as to why it took so long to invoice me in XXXX as I have held a XXXX passport since XXXX and drawn XXXX Social Security since XXXX. The package also contains reference materials to an erroneous loan at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX. A place I was never at. I was living in XXXX in XXXX. The only institution I ever attended was XXXX. Again it said to contact Immediate Recovery Inc to arrange payment so we are back to the spinning wheel again. XXXX provided no payment method and IRC have not answered my emails this week. I believe at the very least the interest should have ceased in XXXX XXXX, anything related to XXXX is not me and if they can not provide a swift code for direct deposit or credit card facility to clear the XXXX debt then Social Security is the only option. The debit is supposedly {$2100.00} as at XXXX XXXX XXXX. I hope you can help. Otherwise I will have to go back to the XXXX Ombudsman or just wait for the Social Security option as there appears to be gross incompetence or a scam going on. Note : I ca n't talk on the phone due to XXXX ( service related ) and the time difference between XXXX and XXXX also adds to the difficulty.
