Complaint narrative:
Your options do not include the problem in this issue. This XXXX procedure was in mid XX/XX/XXXX. It became past due no later than XX/XX/XXXX. It was submitted to Account Resolution Services in XX/XX/XXXX. 

Federal law requires that this item can not remain on my credit files after XXXX years from the first delinquency prior to Charge off. That means the date of obsolescence on this debt would have been XX/XX/XXXX. 

I disputed this with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX accordingly. This means they sent this to the Account Resolution Services and they returned the dispute leaving it on my files.

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage was sold by XXXX XXXX XXXX to Carrington Mortgage Services. Carrington is requiring me to keep a escrow balance not to fall below {$680.00}. There is nothing in my loan contract that gives them the right to do that. My targeted low point was {$0.00}. XXXX XXXX XXXX did not do this. The balance fell as low as {$250.00} one year. Even their letter states my targeted low point was {$0.00}. I feel this is a breach of contract and that my loan terms should prevail over their policy. I did not AGREE TO THIS.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I made purchased a furniture set for roughly {$1000.00} on Kohls.com. This order number is XXXX. 

My formal complaint is regarding their credit card marketing and the misleading approach that they use. I had planned to use my XXXX XXXX yesterday and when I submitted all information in the ordering process a pop-up window appeared. I was on the very last submission page about to click " submit and finalize order. '' This pop-up says, " Apply for a Kohls charge card and you can save 20 % on this order! '' My order totaled {$920.00}. I am not XXXX to take out credit cards, but this was enough of a discount that I thought it would be a good idea. I had used a coupon code prior on the site, but it says under promotion codes you can use up to XXXX. I also looked at the fine print ON the pop-up ad and no where led me to believe I could n't use the discount especially since they already had all of my order information. I moved forward with the application process to be approved. As soon as I went back to the submission page and submitted the order I realized it had not taken 20 % off additionally. I called customer service and they told me that it was due to me having a discount already. I see this as nothing, but a misleading marketing ploy and they even agreed on the phone that it could be misleading. Even though they seemed somewhat sympathetic to me they were not willing to return my grievance of 20 % ( {$180.00} ).

Company: Seterus, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
After a separation of 2 years, without being on my mortgaged property, it was ordered in a divorce that my ex-spouse had 2 years to obtain credit and take over the mortgage for the property that I had financed. It was also ordered that if at any point, she was more than 60 days past due, I would retain ownership and responsibility for the property. After multiple court proceedings for her contempt, the property was finally awarded back to me on XX/XX/2016. The mortgage was originally with XXXX, during the court proceedings the mortgage was sold to Seterus, a collection firm. On XX/XX/2016, I paid {$4200.00} to Seterus to make the mortgage account payments current and up to date and made every payment on time from that point until the house was purchased in XXXX. The house was sold on a VA loan. I contacted Seterus in XXXX and informed them of the sale. Seterus assured me that although the closing was set for XX/XX/XXXX, I did not have to make any further payment on the loan. I was concerned that this would negatively affect my credit score. The Seterus representative assured me that I had a certain amount of days before that would happen. I was under that amount of days. On XX/XX/2016 I made a final payment of {$190.00} to Seterus, the payoff difference. On XX/XX/2016, I received a check from Seterus for {$310.00} for over payment. In XX/XX/2016 I received a letter from Seterus, it stated that I was past due on the loan. I called Seterus once again to dispute. Their representitive confirmed that the house was sold and their were no late payments. After explaining I was trying to repair my credit. I requested to have their auditors update their report to the credit agencies. It is now XXXX it shows paid, but now showing I have late payments.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to pay off my mortgage since XXXX/XXXX/15. I first attempted to have my bank make a payment only to be told by XXXX/XXXX/15 that my mortgage company, LoanCare did not receive the payment and that my bank had sent it to the wrong address. I later learned that this was incorrect information and that in fact the address was correct. I then stopped payment on the check since no one at LoanCare could tell me if they had received the check and the customer service rep had advised me the payment in the amount of {$90000.00} was mailed to the wrong address. LoanCare cashed the check the next day ( XXXX/XXXX/15 ) and charged me a {$30.00} NSF fee. 
I then spoke to a supervisor who told me that it would be best to wire the funds -- I did this on XXXX/XXXX/15. My bank confirmed the funds ( {$91000.00} ) were wired on XXXX/XXXX/15, and I called LoanCare almost every day following only to have the customer service reps tell me that they still had not received the funds. Of course, there was no one they could transfer me to to let me know if they had received the funds. I called back again today XXXX/XXXX/15 only to be told that they had received the funds XXXX/XXXX/15 but had sent back the funds today because it was {$490.00} short to pay off the loan. According to their own payoff wiring instructions attached " payoff funds must be sufficient to cover all escrow advances, interest, prepayment penalties, principal, and changes. Payoffs that do not meet these requirements will be retired if additional funds are not received within two business days after payoff department has made contact. '' No one from the payoff department or my mortgage company has ever bothered to contact me regarding the extra {$490.00} needed to pay off my mortgage. I still do not have my {$91000.00} that they kept from XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX/XXXX/15 only their word that it was " returned. ''

Complaint narrative:
Firstly I had an account with US Bank for 2 yrs during my college. When I went out of the country there were a couple of overdrafts which were paid off as soon as I came back and my account was fine for a year. After 2yrs, when I reached out to a nearby bank to deposit money I was told my account was closed and I would receive a cashier cheque through the mail which was told to me when I went to the bank a week ago. It 's been more than a month and I have n't received any mail from the bank and when I try to call the people at the bank they try to avoid me by not picking my calls and I persistently keep calling them and put voicemails which never get answered. If this is the kind of business US Bank wants to do I really want to complain about this.

Complaint narrative:
USBank LN XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA XXXX On a recorded line, XXXX with USBank has violated CA State and also required us to hide money from XXXX by saying the homeowner needed to bring in funds to close the short sale. USBank had previously approved this short sale at $ XXXX. Now they want {$11000.00}. I told XXXX and her XXXX XXXX, that what they are asking us to commit XXXX ILLEGAL ACTS 1 ) Violate State Law by asking a homeowner to bring in funds in a short sale, and 2 ) Violate Federal Law by giving a XXXX TD more money than is allowed by XXXX. 

With all the stuff in the media with XXXX XXXX being fined by the CFPB for this exact same loan fraud, it amazes me that USBank is now so blatant as to ask us to commit federal loan fraud by providing funds outside of escrow - essentially asking us to HIDE MONEY FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.

Company: Nationwide Credit Corporation
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
For more than three months, I 've been receiving almost daily phone calls from a debt collection agency. I never answer their calls and the company never leaves a message. I have no outstanding debt. 

The caller-id sometimes shows the company name as NCC Business Services and sometimes as XXXX XXXX XXXX For NCC Business Services XXXX the calls originate from ( XXXX ) XXXX and ( XXXX ) XXXX. For XXXX XXXX XXXX, the calls originate from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

My complaint expresses the same situation as the complaint against XXXX XXXX submitted to your agency on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. In addition to never leaving messages, the company has never contacted me through the mail or in any other way. They just appear to be phishing for information. 

Others who have received calls from this debt collection company report requests for private information such as social security number, claims of grossly inflated amounts owed, threats for non-payment, and many, many cases of mistaken identity. 

Back in XXXX, I received repeated calls from the same company over a period of weeks. Upon finally talking to a company rep, it was clearly established that the real debtor was someone else with my name. The rep said that the calls would stop, and they did for a period of several weeks, but then resumed. It required the intervention of the Maryland XXXX office to get the calls stopped permanently. 

Because of my previous experience and the experience of others, I refuse to have any contact with this company and would like these annoying, harassing calls stopped.

Three months ago while looking at my credit report, I noticed that there was a collection account for XXXX put there by a company called XXXX.

They said XXXX XXXX XXXX put in a claim and they paid it. Now, I had a mortgage with XXXX XXXX XXXX which they fraudutlently foreclosed on when they told me that I was going to get a loan modification. 
Neither United Guarantee nor XXXX is taking responsibility for adding that mark on my credit report. XXXX XXXX XXXX is asking me to pay them 22000 to settle, eventhough they told me that they did not report to XXXX, they are saying until I pay them the item will remain. After pressing the issue with them, they told me that it was XXXX XXXX XXXX who place the item on my credit report. The item does not say XXXX XXXX XXXX anywhere, yet I already have a foreclosure Mark for XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report.
