Company: PREFERRED CREDIT INC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Back in XXXX 2017, Upon reviewing my credit report via XXXX, I noticed a several negative debts on my credit reports. I disputed them with the Credit Bureaus. All the negative times were removed except the company, which is the subject of this complaint. The company name is " Preferred Credit. '' Credit Bureau told me to contact the company. I followed up with the company, provided them with police report and my identifications. They refused to resolve my dispute, citing there is nothing to indicate that I 'm not responsible. When asked on what basis they reached that conclusion, they are unable to convey a direct and logical response. I have consulted with a lawyer ( " XXXX XXXX, XXXX. ) who told me to contact the CFPB as a condition precedent to filing legal action. I have made a request for Reproduction of Documents upon which the company reached their conclusion of " no indication of fraud '' but have yet to hear from them. Please contact the company and instruct them to remove the negative item from my credit report which is the result of identity theft. 

Impostors have used my name on several occasions and based on the documentary evidence in my possession, the credit collectors have cooperated and cleared my name. However, Preferred Credit has been unfairly intransigent in their attempt to frustrate me into paying for something that I have no knowledge of. They are affecting my credit in the meantime and refused to turn over documents to me.

Company: HCFS Healthcare Financial Services of TeamHealth
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, our daughter had a hair tourniquet around her toe. We used XXXX to try and remove it at home. After a while, the indention was still there, so we decided to take her to XXXX XXXX XXXX. When we arrived we signed in. We looked at her toe again under the fluorescent lights at the hospital and determined that the hair actually had dissolved and only the indention was left behind. We told the hospital that under the lighting, we could tell that the tourniquet was no longer there. Since we already signed in, they had us sign something that said we no longer needed to receive treatment from them. We went home and received a few bills a month or so later. They totaled around {$170.00}. I called the hospital to speak to the billing department. They said it was a mistake on their part and said that it was taken care of on their end. Apparently {$120.00} of the entire bill was eradicated because we have received no bills whatsoever in probably a year or so. Now, after all this time, we are getting a bill from a debt collector for {$47.00}. I called the debt collector, XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX and explained to them the situation and told them I wanted to dispute the debt. They told me they will continue to contact me for the debt. I spoke with the Patient Advocate at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and she told me she would do what she can to help me get this resolved. Nothing came of it and she never contacted me again. Nobody can even give me any other phone numbers or information or help me to resolve this and XXXX continues to harass me.

Complaint narrative:
I made two purchases under {$75.00} and am being charged high interest on old balance plus high finance charges on purchases and current balance XX/XX/2017. I have always been timely with payments and believe interest rate is too high and also finance charge is too high. I asked many times for lower interest rate because I have moved to a state ( Illinois ) where  the cost of living is high and income is lower than when I was given this credit in CA. They refuse to lower interest rate and finance charges.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX has intentionally reported an inaccurate charge off on my credit report even after I 've provided them with proof my car payments were deferred. On XX/XX/XXXX, my car was declared a total loss due to the flooding in XXXX, TX which was declared a natural disaster. I 've even continued to make my monthly payment until I noticed the online portal displayed my next payment was n't due until XX/XX/XXXX.I took it a step further and decided to contact XXXX to confirm this was correct. The rep reassured me that this was correct and not to worry about payments until XX/XX/XXXX. This is because my insurance company paid off XXXX but I was left with a remaining balance of about $ 4k since I did n't have GAP coverage. I take full accountability for the amount owed! 
Months later, in XX/XX/XXXX, I started receiving calls that I needed to start making monthly payments immediately. I advised the rep that my payment were deferred and they stated that I was originally given the wrong information. I informed XXXX that I 've taken on another car loan and could n't afford to pay on it at the moment but will pay what I can since my payment were technically deferred. No one from XXXX has wanted to take accountability and accommodate me with what I was originally told. I 've even provided XXXX proof of the information displayed on their website at the time and asked them to pull the calls. XXXX has done nothing but advised me to contact the credit bureau to have the charge off removed. I 've last spoke with XXXX from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. Her contact number is XXXX Ext:XXXX. We were trying to come to a payment agreement but unfortunately, I could n't afford to pay the large lump sum payment she requested. However, I did pay {$94.00} towards the balance. Even in this conversation, she told me to contact the credit bureaus to have them remove the charge off because nothing can be done on her end. Prior to contacting XXXX, I 've already submitted multiple disputes online. I 've even sent letters to each credit bureau via certified mail on XX/XX/XXXX and they continue to leave the same remarks " Charge off, customer disputes after resolution, meets FCRA requirements. '' I 'm convinced the credit bureaus has n't even investigated this matter because the information is still being report inaccurately although I 've presented the credit bureaus and XXXX with the burden of proof to justify my claim. Its sad because I was a loyal customer with XXXX and never missed a payment before my car was totaled. Once this remaining balance is paid off, I will never use XXXX and will likely spread the word of how this company operates unethically.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, I contacted my bank Navy Federal Credit Union, which I have been a member of since XXXX. Navy Federal Credit Union ( NFCU ) informed me that my account was place on restriction and that I did not have access to pay my bills using " bill pay '', " outside transfers '', or from " other institutions ''. My account is not past due, I have not been late, nor have I ever had any credit problems in the past. I asked the agent why was my account being retricted and she was unable to explain. She put me on hold for 10 minutes and when she returned she told me that I would have to call back later for a specialist to explain why my accout was retricted. I waited 1 hour and called back. The agent again put me on hold and retured to the call unable to reset my access nor explain why my account was retricted. I asked serveral questions regarding the retriction and the agent informed me that there was a scam going on and my account was restricted due to suspicion that my accout may have been compromised. I normally use my outside banks and accounts to pay my bills, restricting my access will delay payment or cause me problems in paying my bills. I am a veteran, that served and retired with 28 years of service. This type of treatment is unexplainable.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
In febuary I entered into a loan modification period with Ditech mortgage company. The first payment was due XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. We made the first payment on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for the XXXX XXXX due date. The second payment on XXXX for the XXXX payment, the third payment on XXXX for the XXXX payment, XXXX payment on XXXX for XXXX payment, XXXX payment on XXXX for XXXX payment. Soon after we made the XXXX payment, ditech sent us a letter stating our modification was finalized and we were due on XXXX XXXX. We already paid XXXX 's payment on XXXX. They did not apply our payment made on XXXX for XXXX. They charged us twice for XXXX month. We paid XXXX on XXXX and they also charged us again for XXXX after the finalizing of he modification and did n't consider the payment we had just made. It seems it had just gotten lost in the process and no one looked closely enough at our account to adjust for the payment we made. We continued to make a payment on XXXX payable for XXXX, but they are saying we are a month behind now and charging us late fees. 

I have called 3 times and have been argued with and finally after the XXXX time, the person named XXXX, stated that I was right and confirmed with the supervisor that I was correct. His explanation was that no one had looked closely at our account and it definitely needed to be fixed. They requested an audit the end of XXXX. I am continuing to get late notices and it does n't appear to be resolved. Can we please have help on getting this resolved? 

It is extremely urgent this is cleared up, because they have taken {$1200.00} of our money and will not apply it correctly or return it to us. 

I 've attached a photo of the payments made from our bank account. A copy of the trial modification letter with schedule of payments to be made, and a copy of the finalized modification page showing payment amount due on XXXX for {$1200.00}. We already made that payment on XXXX due on XXXX for XXXX.
