Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Southwest Recovery Services, Inc.
State: RI

Complaint narrative:
What I thought was very old debt is wrong. The company that is reporting money not owed is from XXXX. That report is also false. The debt incurred is from a credit card receiving company that baited and switched their contract. I only did transactions using my own debit card to test their system and found flaws. They said it was a charge of XXXX XXXX  for each transaction with no monthly fee. That is where they lied. They charged me a monthly fee and I cancelled that account right away. I never received any emails or calls inquiring about that account after that. This is a new scam where they tell you there is no monthly fee and then just send it to a collection company, so it shows up on your credit report. As stated, I only did a few transactions using my own debit card. No other transactions were done from any other source.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, as stated by creditor ( Carrington Mortgage Services ) in document attached, received an inquiry on my behalf. I sent this inquiry to Carrington Mortgage on behalf of Account number XXXX, which is my current account with them. As I reviewed my consumer report Ive noticed that there are more than 37 violations on the said report. I also noticed that there are late payments reported on the report as well. The letter was to inform them that they were in violation of law 15USC1681a 2 ( A ) i. Also attached to the inquiry was a copy of my Drivers License, Social Security Card, and proof of address for verification. 

This company as mentioned in the inquiry is in clear violation of the law. Pursuant 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) EXCLUSIONS- Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include ( A ) subject to section 1681s3 of this title, any ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ; Also 15USC166B states a creditor may NOT treat a payment on a credit card account under an OPEN end consumer plan as LATE for ANY PURPOSES. 

Both of these are violations along with the improper reporting that shows over 37 violations across three major bureaus. This is a violation of 15USC1681 section 623.

Company: MARINER FINANCE, LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
First, I will start off by saying that I gave Mariner Finance 1 star only b/c the staff was polite BUT I have had the most horrible experience with them. In XX/XX/2021, Mariner Finanace took 2 payments out of my account that I did not authorize which caused an overdraft in my bank account. My account with them was falsely flagged as late. By the time they looked into it a month had gone by and they asked if I wanted the payment back but by then it was no point since my next payment was coming due and the damage had already been done. Never got reimbursement for the overdraft they caused due to their negligence. You also can not make additional payments online or via the app you have to call and potentially have the experience I had with them taking more than they are suppose to. I applied for a loan on XX/XX/2021 and sent everything they needed for it. Mariner Finance took so long to process my application I went on vacation from work for a week came back to work and it still wasn't processed. By the time someone got back to me, I had to resend every document I had already sent twice. Finally closed on the loan this past Tuesday. It's Friday and I never recieved the funds on the loan. The end of XXXX I called Mariner finance because I have not been able to make payments and the only options they offered me invilved further harming my credit score. It's not worth the high interest rate and fees they charge people the stress and aggravation. Their politeness is not enough to compensate for the experience I had with them nor the service.
