XXXX XXXX did in fact delete the original credit item in XXXX, XX/XX/2014. Please refer to the XXXX dispute results, dated XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/2014. However, XXXX XXXX reinserted the previously deleted information through Pinnacle Services Credit Services, LLC in XXXX, XX/XX/2014. Please refer to XXXX report # XXXX, dated XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX This action taken by XXXX XXXX one month later violated our agreement that the disputed cell phone account was not mine. Pinnacle Credit Services , LLC has responded to me that they do not delete inaccurate, previously deleted credit items. XXXX XXXX, to date, has refused to voluntarily correspond with me regarding this matter. 
I have suffered personal damages due to being denied credit during this period of time. These damages are a direct consequence of XXXX XXXX ' civil tort against me, by inaccurately reporting negative credit information, agreeing to delete the inaccurate credit information, and then subsequently having Pinnacle Credit Services , LLC reinsert the negative credit item under my name. Pinnacle Credit Services , LLC is also liable for unlawfully reporting the previously deleted negative credit item under my name, and failing to remove it voluntarily. 
I request that CFPB investigate this matter thoroughly, and penalize these offending parties for not acting justly, and in good faith, to restore my good credit, and failing to abide by the terms of our agreement.

Issue: Disclosure verification of debt — Not given enough info to verify debt
Company: Pinnacle Credit Services, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I have sent several letter to Pinnacle Credit Services LLC with no response from them. They are reporting incorrect information on my credit report every month. They are listing it as a new debt as well as for collection. This has been happening for several months now. I have tried to reach the company but no one is returning my calls or answering my letters. I even have a letter from XXXX of their attorney stating they can not find any information regarding my account. I asked for the account to be removed ; it was removed for 2 months then put back on twice. I got that corrected. I have tried with all of the credit bureaus to have it removed but they say the debt is valid. When I asked for proof they send information through another agency but not to me. This is costing so much stress. I would appreciate someone looking into the matter. It seems to me that I am not the only person they are doing this too. This is so wrong. I am trying to purchase a house but this keeps popping up.

Company: Exeter Finance, LLC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I visited XXXX in XXXX, CO and was looking at cars. They let me know that they were running a credit report to see what loans I qualified for. I let them know that I only would allow one company to run the report ( XXXX ) and they agreed. They did not tell me that other companies would be running a credit report to give me loans and I specifically told them that I did not want my credit run through finance companies I did not approve of. I was unaware and did not give understandable permission for this company to run a credit check on me. I was pressured into running a credit report when I did not want to because I was a first time car buyer and unaware that when XXXX ran the report it would go through numerous agencies. They did not clarify and tricked me. I think this is unfair in that it affects my credit score negatively.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — 
Company: Exeter Finance, LLC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I financed a vehicle with Exeter Finance in XXXX 2015 alongside a cosigner. I financed it at at 14.7 which was slightly higher than my other vehicle was financed at. A couple months ago I ran into the issue of the cosigner taking off with the car which I know bear some fault on my own part but Exeter has been of no assistance in helping locate the cosigner to notify of lapse of insurance on the car. I also offered to pay the loan off in full if the car could be returned, or I would like to be released from the contract since technically both of these parties breached it. 
Then the other day as I was monitoring my credit I noticed how little had come off the principle. I knew from work that around {$320.00} should come of my principle with the {$410.00} payment. However the amount coming off was around {$190.00}. I was very upset as I read through my paperwork and kept seeing " annual interest rate '' but for some reason being charged a daily interest rate. I paid my other vehicle off and have another one ( since this one was taken ) and I have no issues whatsoever trying to guess what my interest portion of my payment will be. I am very upset and thought Exeter would be like other finance companies I have dealt with who did not hide their charges and understanding of the process.

Complaint narrative:
I cosigned my brother in law 's home loan in early 2007. later that same year, on XXXX 2007, he refinanced the loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX in order to remove my name from his mortgage. He Signed and Closed the Loan, as sole borrower, on XXXX XXXX, 2007. The title company was First American Title Insurance .when this new refinance Loan was " filed '' with the XXXX Clerk XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, A different loan closing document was used. this different document had my name added and my signature forged. furthermore, a notary falsely stated that " i appeared before her '' to sign said document. what is even more troubling is that the pen inked handwriting and signature matches the notary or whoever created the forged document. The very reason for the refinance loan was to remove me as a borrower. this type of blatant forgery and falsification is unacceptable from any financial entity, let alone a XXXX Bank. The only way i found this out was because my brother in law is losing the property on foreclosure, and i now have lawyers serving me court papers as if i am still involved in said loan/property.

Complaint narrative:
To whom it Concerns, I currently have a mortgage that is held by XXXX XXXX. This loan was made in XXXX, XXXX. My original loan Servicer, XXXX XXXX, handled my loan and encouraged weekly and bi weekly payments. I made 3-4 payments per month, also making {$100.00} extra per month since I purchased my home. My Loan Servicing company changed in XXXX XXXX to Specialized Loan Servicing ( SLS ). I continued to make my partial payments for 3 months. Unfortunately, they have told me that their system is unable to properly process these partial payments. As a result, they applied my payments to principal ONLY and disregarded it as payment towards my monthly payments, and now my loan has now been reported to the Crediting Bureaus as Delinquent. Upon the request of SLS, I quit making partial payments with no resolve for prior payments, and after NUMEROUS phone calls, Certified Letters, and Faxes, they have not fixed anything per my requests. I have provided them with ALL payment information of 100 % monthly PAID balances. They have not fixed anything, nor care to. I do not know what else to do. I am 100 % on time, every time with my mortgage, and because of their SYSTEM ERROR at SLS, they are now reporting Delinquencies to the Crediting Bureaus. Please provide me with some assistance or information on what to do, or who to call. Thank you for your time and have a great day!

Complaint narrative:
I XXXX XXXX am being pressured by a number of collection agencies that state they have a right to an administrative garnishment against my wages. Administrative garnishments can only be procured by the United States Government, period. My student loans are privately owned, and these private debt collectors are disguising themselves as collectors of federal debts that are private only. I have been harassed at my work and home with threatening phone calls, all in violation of my rights with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I demand to know what entities own my student loan debts. 
I DEMAND A CEASE & DESIST ON ALL COMMUNICATIONS OUTSIDE OF WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE!!! 
I DEMAND A COMPLETE FORENSICS REVIEW ON THE CHAIN OF OWNERSHIP OF MY STUDENT LOANS!!! 
I DEMAND A FULL REVIEW OF EXISTING STUDENT LOANS FOR A CONSIDERATION OF CONSOLIDATION!!! 
There must be a court order on any private debt, which would require a summons and complaint and an actual judgment. That is the actual protocol with my student loan situation.

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a home in XXXX XXXX. In XXXX XXXX, my mortgage was sold to SLS. I immediately began getting threatening letters from SLS about " inadequate insurance '' and was told I must make arrangements for coverage or face fines / litigation. According to the terms of my loan, property insurance is paid through my escrow account, however I have concerns that SLS is not acting within the law regarding collection and distribution of escrow funds. I did some further research and discovered that SLS has a reputation for such unethical activity. I am now in the process of refinancing with a reputable company, am worried about what SLS 's misbehavior will do to me financially until it is no longer my mortgage servicer. Please investigate and let me know what steps I should take to address this issue. Thank you
