Company: Solar Mosaic LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This company is reporting a {$16000.00} loan for solar panels I never purchased. I have called this company multiple times to further investigate this matter, and they have an account open In my name but no contract with my signature authorizing the agreement.

I did buy solar but with another company. This company should not be reporting any information to my credit report as I have no relationship with this company. This inaccurate reporting has harmed my ability to get lending with other creditors. 

I need this inaccurate information removed immediately. I will also need compensation for the damages caused by SOLAR MOSAIC LLC.

these accounts below listed the following company as the creditor American Profit Recovery Inc. : Lawn Pride XXXX This company American Profit Recovery is NOT the creditor, I never contracted with them, and I sent certified letter to them and also ALL the Credit consumer agencies to immediately correct my report and remove this Fraudulent account.

This law sets specific rules and guidelines for how debt collectors can contact and communicate with consumers. If a debt collector violates any of the provisions of the FDCPA, I may have the right to sue in federal court and recover damages against them.

They furnished this false account on my reports and this has caused my credit worthiness to be affected!

Company: Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson LLP
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I was traveling from XXXX XXXX  to route to XXXX XXXX and accidentally went through an XXXX XXXX toll instead of a cash toll, so I was charged {$50.00} as a fee for breaking XXXX XXXX law, and not paying the toll as I went through. I was sent a letter from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson stating that I owe this {$50.00}. The toll technically came from the XXXX XXXX, XXXX however, they use this company as their debt collector. Upon looking them up on the XXXX XXXX XXXX there are multiple complaints of fraudulent activities from them, including one person who was continuously charged from a toll they had in XXXX, he would pay it, and they said that their balance was a XXXX, but they continuously charged him, because they only take a certain amounts of the money to pay off the debt, and the other money they pocket for themselves. This is not made explicit whatsoever in any of the letters that they sent it is completely misleading to the public as well as rather predatory. Im concerned that most people receiving these letters would pay through them Goggan Blaire and Sampson rather than XXXX XXXX XXXX directly resulting in scamming them out of their money for years to come. Had I not look this up and called the source of the toll, I probably wouldve fallen victim to the countless people that have had issues with this company. They are not operating a fair business practice, they were purposefully elusive, the only way to file dusputes is through Fax, they do not have an email, they do not have a place for complaints other than through Fax. Although it is not against any law to only have fax as contact, I highly suspect that they do this in order to purposely inconvenience people and not having to directly talk to them to complain about their fraudulent behaviors. The lack of explicit statement on the letter, missing forms, the public into thinking that they should use this company to pay their toll, when, in fact, they are unknowingly paying the company, and only a certain percentage of their toll. This is quite despicable, and should be looked into.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My XXXX payment of {$490.00} was debited from my checking account and the full amount of {$490.00} was applied to accrued interest. 

However, the XXXX statement that Mohela provided only shows accrued interest of {$110.00} on loan XXXX and accrued interest of {$130.00} on loan XXXX for a total of accrued interest of {$240.00}. Yet {$490.00} was applied to accrued interest. 

This is an error since the difference of {$240.00} should have been applied to my principal. 

I have called Mohela several times a day for several days and they keep putting me on hold for several hours and no on is able to correct the problem or tell me why payments ar e being incorrectly applied. 

The billing statements are incorrect since what they are indicating is the accrued interest, it is not. This is very dishonest and unfair to the borrowers that there is no transparency as to how Mohela is applying payments and the customer service representatives do not have the answers. 

I look forward to a resolution.
