Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding an inaccurate collection account reported on my credit report by National Credit Systems for {$10000.00} related to my former residence at XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  XXXX ). 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I signed a Debt Forgiveness Agreement with the landlord. The agreement clearly states that if I vacated the apartment and returned the keys by XX/XX/XXXX, the management would forgive the entire balance, cancel legal actions, and not pursue the forgiven amount via Collections or Small Claims. I complied with all requirements, vacated the unit on time, and returned the keys. 

Despite this, a collection account for this forgiven debt is still being reported to the credit bureaus, which is factually inaccurate and violates the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ). Additionally, I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX  ) dated XX/XX/XXXX confirming that this account was cancelled in their office and that they did not report this item to any credit bureau. This clearly proves that no valid collection should appear on my report. 

I request a full investigation and permanent deletion of this collection account from my credit report. 

Attached are copies of the Debt Forgiveness Agreement and the XXXX cancellation letter as proof.

Complaint narrative:
I am updating a late payment that is currently being reported on my credit report as " open '' or unresolved. This entry is inaccurate and misleading. I have either already resolved the payment, or I was never late as claimed. The continued reporting of this item as open and delinquent is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which requires consumer reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy of the information they report. This misreporting has negatively impacted my credit score and may hinder my ability to obtain credit or employment. I am requesting an immediate investigation into this matter, as well as a correction or deletion of the inaccurate late payment record if it can not be verified.

Company: Village Capital & Investment LLC
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
We were notified of our escrow refund amount on XXXX XX/XX/year>. We were told the check would be mailed to us in 7-10 business days. The refund amount is over {$7500.00}. After three weeks of waiting my wife made multiple contacts with a representative of the company requesting a status of the check. At this point they were beyond the time frame to deliver the check as outlined in RESPA Regulation X ( which is a federal law ) The regulation states the check must be refunded within 30 calendar days. Several representatives became argumentative with my wife when we mentioned the delinquency and we were told the check was mailed on different days on different occasions. My wife as well as myself were hung up on mid sentence. This is unacceptable- not only the customer service but the disregard for our money and federal outlines.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding an improper {$29.00} Return Payment Fee that was assessed to my American Express account. 

On XX/XX/year>2025, a payment in the amount of {$1100.00} was submitted. Although they claim the payment was initially returned, the funds were ultimately successfully debited from my bank account and received by American Express. Therefore, charging me a Return Payment Fee for funds ultimately received is unjustified and an unfair billing practice.

I have raised this multiple times with your representatives and requested escalation to a supervisor and manager, yet I have only been told the fee can not be waived. This is unacceptable, as I have fulfilled my payment obligation and you have accepted the funds. Penalizing me for their payment processing sequence is unreasonable and misleading.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am really shocked by the way the entire process unfolded. I tried to apply for loss mitigation back in 2024, but it was mishandled. Basically wasted 3 months not getting the application pushed through. I called in and requested at least 3 weeks in a row for my application to get re-assigned to a new rep. Finally they did and I was approved for a 3 month forbearance period. Then I applied and was approved for a 1 month extension. However, during this time I noticed I had late fees added to my account, and also I was not allowed to make any payments online to cure the default. I called in to ask why, and they told me it's because the home was in foreclosure. The entire point of forbearance is that a lender can not foreclose, charge late fees, or report to credit during the period. So why did they think to do that? They also never provided me with any notice of foreclosure, no acceleration letter or official date. There was no protocol followed. They just blocked me from paying, didn't give notice to me about it, and then left me out to dry. I had to call in and email support myself to try and resolve this myself. Finally I got them to remove the block on my login portal this week so I could pay. But I still need this investigated as to how on earth they could allow this to happen, why proper notice was not given, and why I still do not have any replies from the loan servicing dept related to any of my inquiries. What is scarier is that a quick XXXX search also uncovered that NewRez XXXX Shellpoint has done this to other homeowners recently where they block payments, or one person claimed that Shellpoint " lost '' their lump sum payment, and then proceed with foreclosure anyway. Please investigate this company 's practices.
