Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: Diversified Consultants, Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I was a XXXX customer using their data service all of XXXX with no issues of payments at all, my bill was about $ XXXX I finished my relationship with them, both sides had satisfaction as nothing was owed. I completed my last payment in XXXX and moved to phone carrier XXXX. But recently I missed a few good benefits being a XXXX customer so I decided I'd switch back, this is when the problem was brought up. I entered a XXXX store sometime in XX/XX/XXXX for them to tell me they couldn't service me until a debt owed to a collection company was paid which happened to be Diversified consultants inc. I asked them how was that possible when I paid all of my months of phone service, never late, no issues or anything and the clerks in the store could not tell me how as they said my past account was handled by a different company who they no longer do business with and they had closed my account and sold it off to diversified as charge off debt. So XXXX even though they were the original creditors, could not verify or explain this random debt, only gave me info to contact diversified in which I did, when I did they asked me several different personal questions to they had everything about me except my physical i.d lol and they just said they'd send some account info through mail. I received their mail and it is very vague, no explanation of debt what so ever. It only shows a few different lines and a few different numbers, and random dates. It goes from a balance due being {$150.00} to {$230.00} to {$290.00} to now {$290.00}. This company has literally claimed a XXXX XXXX customer to be delinquent and created their own timeline and numbers then received a call from me because I caught onto the fraudulent act, only to ask me a series of personal questions so they could secure enough up to date personal info on me to place a debt on my credit report. Well I happen to have excellent credit and I have 5years history of onetime payments and no negative activity what so ever. The debt they seek of me is puny in regards to my funds in my bank account and credit card limits but its the injustice of it all, it's the principal, I will not let allow some scam company to bully me into giving them money I don't owe them. Failure on their behalf to provide a copy of any alleged original contract or other instrument bearing my signature with the particular debt in question of fraud, will result in a small claims action against their company. I will be seeking $ 5,000+ in damages for the following : Defamation, Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud, Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act

Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
My FHA loan was previously owned/serviced by XXXX, and has been sold to LoanCare. I am a XXXX years old, XXXX, female that has applied for a loan modification with XXXX ( of which I am quite concerned there may be unauthorized default rates and charges ), which did not transfer over, I then had to re-apply again for a loan modification with LoanCare. I have diligently supplied all my financial documentation along with all of my daughter 's ( non-borrower contributor ) financial information, however LoanCare has denied my modification application with no explanation, figures or breakdown. I believe they are deceptive, and cut many corners. I have attached their response to my application, where there is no reason stated for my denial. How do I know they have calculated our income and expenses property. I have an FHA loan, there are certain guidelines they must follow, ( which I have researched extensively ) there is no way to see if they have accurately processed the application, because they did not supply a figure breakdown. This is outrageous, I have owned this property since 2001 and am a senior citizen XXXX female. I do not  want to lose my home. I have done the calculations and I DO qualify. LoanCare has failed to provide accurate calculation of ineligibility. I believe they are acting in BAD FAITH and have IMPROPERLY denied my application for a loan modification.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Billing problem
Company: FC HoldCo LLC
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On several occasions when I have made payments the company had taken the payments and applied most of the money to the interest and almost none of it to the principal. When I discovered this I asked them why and they wouldnt give me a clear answer, said that they would apply the money as they saw fit. I raised several objections and let them know that I was aware that thier transaction application was illegal and they were misapplying the funds deliberately turning my loan upside down and I wanted to know why. Again I got no answers. Time and again I have tried to work with this company but I seem to keep falling behind in payments somehow and fees are constantly being racked on that I dont know where they are coming from and addition money is always being asked that I pay but once again I dont know for what. Now Im so upside down on the loan that I cant trade in the car and I dont know how to get out from underneath it!!!!!! The dates are too numerous to list and I can tell you that the conversations with them are daily a least two or three times a day, and I usually dont know its them thats calling because their phone comes up with names like XXXX XXXX or some unknown business.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
The XXXX XXXX XXXX was where all my loans went thru. The first part was while i was attending the local XXXX college, XXXX XXXX College, then I transfer to a 4 yr school to complete my degree programs. 
Even though the next set of loans at the 2nd school, XXXX XXXX University, involved new loan paperwork, which included a new home address, email, etc. This info for whatever reason did not update across all the acounts. And since they like to make each term, 3 per year, be its own account, they are saying it was my problem for not updating all the contact information for each and every account. 
Yet, they had the new information to send me info, and even worse, the address they did have was my grandmothers address, and nothing ever got sent their either. 
It reached the point of being 6 months past due, by the time i just happened to be looking into getting a home loan, and when i went to look at my credit report, it had been tanked by 13 accounts thru XXXX XXXX XXXX, each stating 6 months late. 
For an account that's supposed to have payments due, and reach 6 months past due, they never looked at the account closer for contact info, and when we called them directly, they even said that both sets of addresses were in the system, and the different email addresses, phone numbers, etc. So why couldn't they send anything.. and like i said again, the old address in their system, never received anything at that residence either, and my grandmother has been living there since 1996. 
I sent multiple letters attempting to explain everything to the creditor, XXXX XXXX, as well as all the credit bureaus. Response has been that nothing gets fixed. And the best the school did to fix the immediate problem of an account showing past due, was to make a retro active forbearance, and back date, or whatever they call it to fix the problem.. 
But, that doesn't help my credit report where the only bad thing on my report is this set of 13 accounts, all showing several months past due, and now, best they show is current because of the retroactive forbearance. This has prevented me from obtaining financing the purchase a home, as well as prevented me from being able to even rent an apartment for myself, my XXXX husband, and XXXX  kids. You would think this would be an easy fix, but apparently not, and they wont budge. 
I have been told i have grounds for legal action against them for this matter, and the financial/mental hardship it has caused us. Not to mention, a potential lawsuit against the fact that they get to report so many different accounts, but yet i only signed 1 loan agreement per year, so how its allowed to turn into 3 seperate loans is sketchy..
