Consumer complaint received 2025-01-23 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Rental debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: ProCollect, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding ProCollect Inc. 's potential violations of both Texas state law and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ). This issue requires your immediate and thorough attention, as it concerns both unlawful debt collection practices and false representation that has harmed my credit standing.

I have reason to believe that ProCollect Inc. is not compliant with the Texas Finance Code, Section 392.101, which mandates that third-party debt collectors must file and maintain an active surety bond with the Texas Secretary of State to lawfully engage in debt collection activities in the state. Based on my research, I have found the following : ProCollect Inc. 's bond, filed under File Number : XXXX, was canceled on XX/XX/XXXX. 
Another bond was filed under File Number : XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, but its current active status is unverified. 
If ProCollect Inc. is indeed pursuing debt collections without maintaining an active bond, they are in clear violation of Texas state law, and such actions may also constitute false or misleading representation under the FDCPA ( 15 U.S.C. 1692e ), which prohibits debt collectors from making any false claims related to their authority or status.

Moreover, ProCollect Inc. has reported a debt on my credit file that appears to be associated with these unlawful practices, potentially damaging my financial reputation. This misrepresentation must be rectified immediately, and I am requesting the prompt removal of this account from my credit report to prevent any further damage to my financial standing.

I am requesting an urgent investigation into ProCollect Inc. 's practices to ensure full compliance with both state and federal laws. Should you require any further information or documentation to support my complaint, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Given the serious nature of these violations, I expect a swift response and a thorough resolution to this matter. I trust that Consumer Reports will act on this complaint with the utmost urgency and attention to detail.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I refinanced my mortgage with Freedom Mortgage ( FM ) on XX/XX/XXXX. FM was paid in full on the same day. I received a partial payment of my escort account on XX/XX/XXXX. I still have a remaining balance of {$880.00} in my escrow account. After speaking with FM over the last couple weeks, I have been told that the refund could be direct deposited and after waiting a week I called back to be told that it couldn't. They then advised that they would need to review the account to refund my escrow balance. I have asked for a direct wire to my account and put them on notice that they no longer have an interest in my property which did not help my case. I believe I am being retaliated against due to me refinancing the loan. This is not acceptable. I have relied on these funds and FM should be held accountable.

Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute on XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX due to inaccurate information. Experian denied to follow up with the investigation. I recently was notified that CFPB has filed a lawsuit against the company ( experian ).

They alleged the company of accepting unreliable information, failure to notify consumer dispute results. This aligns well with my situation! Experian has not attempted to remove, nor correct any information. I'm requesting this derogatory remark be removed or corrected immediately as it's affecting my chances s getting car. Experian violates my rights as a consumer, as well as federal laws.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding multiple overdraft fees applied to my account. These fees were assessed despite having sufficient funds available at the time the transactions were authorized. However, due to delayed posting of charges and credits, I was unfairly charged overdraft fees. 

This issue appears consistent with recent findings by the CFPB, which identified similar practices by Navy Federal Credit Union, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially having adequate funds. I believe these practices are deceptive and unfair.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Experian has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act FCRA to conduct a reasonable investigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Experian, alleging systemic issues such as falling to forward consumer- provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Experian has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I have provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts as Experians inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXXXX/XX/XXXXaccount [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
