I received a collection notice from Collection Information Bureau , Inc. from creditor by the name of XXXX XXXX , XXXX. I paid the amount they claimed I owed, exactly {$81.00} because I do not like to be send to the credit bureau, etc. When I called this morning to ask for the explanation of benefits or at least to know which number should I call to obtain the information and why was I charged for that amount ( I have XXXX and also a supplemental XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. ), the man who answered the phone was very nasty and did not want to give me any information. I asked him how was possible that the company does not have contact information for their client XXXX XXXX , XXXX he said they do not have that inf, The only inf he gave me was the one on the collection notice and that services were provided at XXXX XXXX.

Please let me know what to do next.

Complaint narrative:
On X/XX/17 I contacted this company to get written notification of the amount owed so I can secure a certified check and secure record. The person I spoke with refused to send me anything, saying letters were sent years ago to an address in Wisconsin. I explained I can not pay, but want to pay, but I need a letter. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he explained he was the director and I am not going to speak to anyone else. I want this off my credit report, he stated he does n't care if if I pay it off or not, and it could stay on my credit report forever, he just did n't care. His tone was overwhelmingly aggressive and intimidating, unprofessional and his tactics are terrifying.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I received my citicard statement and noticed that the previous month 's balance had not been paid. I checked my checking account statement and saw that a payment had not been made for the previous month. I called citicard that I did not recall receiving the credit card statement. I told them that I would pay the entire balance but would like the {$25.00} late charge refunded. I was told that the computer said that I was not eligible for a refund. When I asked why, they would not tell me. Only that the system said I was not eligible. I had never been late before. I had always paid my balance in full, which may have been the problem in that they did n't make enough money on me. However, I feel that I was owed an explanation as to why my request for the refund was denied. I understand that a company will generally refund a late fee one time. Since they refused to tell me why my request was denied, I have no way of knowing the basis for the discrimination in my case. I have since paid the card balance in full and my card has been cancelled.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
The property is at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , Maryland , XXXX. The original loan contract for 15 years was singed with XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. So far, payments have been made monthly to XXXX for the last 7 years. In XX/XX/XXXX, I had a letter from XXXX that I should start making payment to LOANCARE. A questioned XXXX about the legality of the new deal only for XXXX to tell me that LOANCARE is a subsidiary company, and that the contract still stands valid with XXXX. I took XXXX by its word, and started making monthly payments to LOANCARE since XX/XX/XXXX. No paper or electronic, or verbal contract has been signed with LOANCARE in connection with the ownership of the property. Then just last month, XX/XX/XXXX, I had a letter from LOANCARE that I must pay {$710.00} for escrow or else my monthly payment would increase by adding the escrow amount. On the other hand, if I paid the escrow, my monthly payment would remain the same. I quickly send a check of {$710.00} to LOANCARE to cover the said amount. However, when the XX/XX/XXXX payment bill came, LOANCARE still increased the payment by {$100.00}. evidently LOANCARE had added the escrow to my monthly payment even though LOANCARE has already cashed the check of {$710.00} mailed to them. I called them to make a complaint but officials will not budge. Besides that, LOANCARE customer service is very rude, disrespectful, and indiscipline to customers. They tell me to refinance which I do not want to because it is not in my interest. I call XXXX to complain only for officials to tell me that they can not help me ; rather I must refinance. The behaviors of the two companies ( either sister or subsidiary companies ) are  nothing but a calculated attempt to rip me off financially, or even find a cause to foreclose my property. I have 7 more years to finish payment, and I have no interest in refinancing. With regard to the monthly payment, I do not see the reason why LOANCARE should increase it. If anything at all, monthly payment must reduce because the principal has reduced after 7 years of monthly payment. This is fraud, and I need help urgently. Thanks.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am a former Well Fargo Dealer Services Customer. I have had my loan with them for 5 years without a problem. However, in 2016, I had auto insurance added to my car loan balance. I paid directly from my bank account the same amount for 5 years. I then began to get late payment notices and they began to add to late payments to my credit record. I contacted Well Fargo. I requested an investigation and I contacted the individual credit bureaus. I finally gave up as I only had a few thousand more to pay. The negative reporting of late payments tanked my score. I did not want the insurance and never requested the insurance. All of a sudden, I had unwanted insurance and bad credit.
