Company: AR Resources, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I was in the hospital and had no insurance, I was advised to apply for XXXX which I did and received. The hospital bills did not get paid and I went back and forth trying to get them paid. I started getting collections calls and agreed to pay a discounted payment. I had several different bills some were small I paid them in full. I made agreements with the bigger owed bills. When I went to refinance my mortgage I was denied because of a collection debt on 2 of my credit reports bringing down my score considerably. I got the information and called to collection agency, I was told that the bill was still outstanding even through on my paperwork I had marked it paid to another agency. 
When I spoke to the representative she told me that she could discount the balance by 40 % so I paid the bill. When I ask her when the derogatory mark would be removed from my credit reports she said since I didn't pay the entire balance owed it would not be removed. She said all I had to do was pay the entire balance, really! I have never heard of something so unfair. One of my other larger bills went to XXXX they worked with me gave me time to contact my insurance co, never put it on my credit report and I we settled on a balance and it was paid. So now they will not remove it, not only is it showing up as a collection account but also a late account and will remain on my credit for 7 years, for something I wasn't even away of. I did receive a couple of statements but the amount being billed was the same as the bill I had paid to XXXX, I just figured it needed time to catch up with the payment and then the bills stopped. The bill is paid and should be removed entirely from my credit report, they basically blackmailed me to pay the entire balance and I was unable to. I thought with all the copies of bills and what was paid I would be able to get it removed by disputing it. I don't think it's fair that I have to go back to the agency and pay the remaining balance to get it removed from my credit report, and what guarantee do I have that they will. I'm still hoping to refinance before the rates go back up. Can you help me?

Company: Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Around XX/XX/2019 my vehicle financed by Bridgecrest Auto suddenly stopped in the midst of a Kentucky  state highway. The vehicle had to be towed to a facility. Since the vehicle was initially purchased I never missed any of my monthly payments. When it was determined the engine failed on my vehicle, the extended GAP insurance i had been paying for refused to cover replacement parts needed to get the vehicle functioning again. I informed my finance company, Bridgecrest Auto I can not continue to make payments towards a vehicle I was unable to drive. Therefore, I voluntarily surrendered the vehicle back to Bridgecrest with the understanding the account would be listed on my credit report but as a voluntary surrender. When Bridgecrest was contacted by the Illinois Attorney General, the responded stating I indeed surrendered by vehicle and that it was not a repossession. However, they have reported the loan as an involuntary repossession and are refusing to change this. I understand the account should be listed on my credit report but it should be listed accurately. Reporting this default loan as an involuntary repossession is not an accurate statement and should be changed to reflect its true status as a voluntary surrender

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
This will be the 4th complaint I have filed via CFPB against Experian for their negligent practices. I have also written them 3 letters disputing the item on my report marked US BKPT CT PA XXXX. I have requested on each inquiry/complaint that they provide proof of their method of verification, which they have FAILED to do. I have also sent them proof that they indeed could NOT have verified this item via XXXX XXXX as they CLAIM. I sent a copy of a letter that I received from XXXX XXXX stating that I do not exist in their database. Their refusal to provide supporting documentation to disclose their method of verification is willful con-compliance of FCRA Section 611. I have also notified them that they have FAILED to abide by FCRA because they did not mark this item as being disputed by me on my report within 30 days of receiving my initial complaint back in midXXXX of 2020. It is now XX/XX/2020, 3 months and 14 days later and it is still not noted on my report that this item is disputed by me, the consumer. I have also attached to this 5th complaint a copy of a letter directly from the clerk of courts stating that the courts do NOT verify public records to CRA 's. So if the claim is that they " verified '' with the court - that is a lie. I want PROOF!
