Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: National Credit Adjusters, LLC
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I have reason to believe that NATIONAL CREDIT ADJUSTERS is " parking debt '' on my consumer report in an attempt to coerce me the consumer into paying a {$1500.00} debt that I don't owe and has been doing so since XX/XX/2019. I've tried to remedy this situation through the process of disputing the alleged debt, but there was no " reasonable investigation '' done on behalf of NATIONAL CREDIT ADJUSTERS or the XXXX consumer reporting agencies XXXX, XXXX, or XXXX. Running a consumer report through the " XXXX  '' automated system does not constitute as a " reasonable investigation ''. I demanded " to see '' verifiable information such as, chain of custody, purchase agreement, bill of exchange, original documentation with my wet signature in " blue ink '' not a " carbon copy ''. None of which were provided to me after the conclusion of the automated investigation. So how can this alleged debt be valid or verified? 

Per 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 - Responsibilities of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies ( A ) Reporting information with actual knowledge of errors A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. 

Per the Federal Trade Commission : Just what is debt parking? Its the practice of placing purported debts on consumers credit reports without first attempting to communicate with the consumer about the debt. Some call it passive debt collection, but theres nothing passive about the injury it can inflict. Consumers often dont learn about it until a mortgage company, prospective employer, or other decision maker pulls their credit report and spots what appears to be an unpaid debt. With a house, car, or job in the balance, many people feel pressured to pay up even though they may not actually owe the money. 

Me and my family have suffered severely due to this inaccurate, erroneous information being reported on my consumer report. This has damaged my character, my reputation, and my general mode of living as well as my ability to obtain credit for personal and house purposes. 


15 U.S. Code 1681- Congressional findings and statement of purpose U.S. Code ( b ) Reasonable procedures It is the purpose of this sub chapter to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this sub chapter. 

Now how are these kinds of deceptive tactics " fair '' and " equitable '' to me the consumer? I believe my consumer rights are under attack.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
A letter mailed from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  XXXX, VA dated XX/XX/2022, indicated my mortgage loan was being transferred to Carrington Mortgage Services, XXXX, IN as of XX/XX/2022. I have not received any communications from Carrington Mortgage Services on my transferred loan, nor has my automated payment been paid. 

As I understand, I should have been given a 30 day notice of the sold loan and Carrington Mortgage should have communicated with me on about my payment options. With all the junk mail I receive to refinance my mortgage, I am leery of sending a mortgage payment to a company I have had not communications with or a valid account number. 

Doesn't the new mortgage servicing provider have requirements to notify me of my mortgage rights and responsibility for payment? 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX
