Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened to sue you for very old debt
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Re : Validation and Proof of Claim As I have no account with you, nor am I your customer, nor have I entered in a contract with you, nor does this debt exist I request the following information to which I am entitled under Title 15 USC 1692 et. seq., the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) : MIDLAND FUNDING LLC {$1400.00} Dollars 1 ) Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter.

2 ) What is your authorization of law for your collection of information?

3 ) What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt?

4 ) Please evidence your authorization to do business in my state.

5 ) Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature.

6 ) Please show proof to establish balances, payments, interest rate disclosures, etc. as alleged in your demand letter.

Pursuant to 15 USC 1692g, you have 30 days from receipt of this notice to respond. Your failure to respond, on point, in writing, hand signed, and in a timely manner, will work as a waiver to all claims in this matter, and will entitle me to presume that you sent your letter in error, and that the matter is permanently closed.

This Notice has the same effect as a dispute to the validity of the alleged debt and a dispute to the validity of your claims. In addition, this Notice is an attempt to correct your records, and any information received from you will be collected as evidence should any further action be necessary. Moreover, this is a request for information only, and is not a statement, election, or waiver of status.

I look forward to your prompt reply. I am insistent that you also send a copy of this dispute to the original creditor, so that they can understand a 1099c loss of income was filed with IRS, so this debt doesnt exist, nor does it report on my Credit.

I further insist that if you remove the garnishment, before I expose to the judge the fraudulent actions against consumers the Company participates in.

Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: Supreme Lending
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I just bought my first home. I made it very clear to the lender that I was not going to pay points. As a matter of fact, I sent this email to him when he sent me an estimate after I told him that. 
" I thought you said there was no origination fee? But on this form it says origination charges 1.776 % of loan amount and then it says ( points ). That's very high. Can you please clarify? Are there points or not on this loan? And if this is not an origination fee, why does it say it is? I do not want to pay points and why is this fee there. I understand this can be negotiated and I'd feel much better if this fee was not here or it were a lower rate. The payment keeps going up and up and up. I feel like I'm paying a high interest rate already and now an origination fee? Most origination are XXXX5 to 1 %, this is almost 2 %. '' And he said this ... ... There is no free interest rates in todays crazy market & that is not a choice of mine. The Federal government dictates the cost of interest rates. Rate costs are essentially mandatory right now because investors know that people will be refinancing in the very near future & if they did not get up front money for their investment, they would lose XXXX of dollars. '' I told him over and over no points. He made it out to say that they were not points but that he had to " buy '' the loan. At closing, again, he said they were not points but he had to put them in that spot. 
I am a 100 % XXXX veteran and have never bought a home before. I had a lot of questions and he made a lot of promises and then double talked them. I have XXXX and a XXXX XXXX, am on a lot of meds and feel like he took advantage of this. After the closing, he never contacted me again and sold my loan within a week. He would not answer my questions and would not assist me with things he said he would. He promised that the loan rate would go down in XXXX and that we would refinance. He lied and lied and I feel really XXXX  but I was afraid to lose the house as the person who sold it had to take an offer asap. 
In addition to the loan issues, he inappropriately ( he was married and so was she ) and aggressively pursued my female real estate agent ( and friend ) and told her lies about the loan too. She was a novice. On more than one occasion, she asked me to stay with her so she would not have to be alone with him. 
The bottom line is that I can not find anyone to help me with a solid answer as to how it is okay to lie and misrepresent loan fees and points, especially to a XXXX veteran. He also added all the closing costs to my loan after telling me that I was not going to pay any closing costs. The name of the company is Supreme Lending ( Everett Financial ) and the individual who did this is XXXX XXXX.
