Company: Collection Bureau of America Ltd.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Consumer Finance, On review of my credit reports I found out I had a collection from CBA COLLECTION BUREAU OF AMER - Original creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX from XX/XX/2017 in the amount of {$4400.00}. 

I have challenged this with the 3 credit bureaus as well as the original creditor and as well the collection agency- to prove this is my account and I owe this amount. 

I have yet to receive any proof. 

I have asked the 3 credit bureaus to remove from my credit reports and its still not done. 

This is not a valid debt I owe. 

I will attach the documents I have mailed everyone via certified mail.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Franklin Collection Service, Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
on XX/XX/22 I noticed my credit score dropped XXXX points due to Franklin services adding an account for {$150.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I called and spoke to XXXX XXXX XXXX  and they confirmed I do not owe them for any services. I called the credit agency that is reporting it-Franklin services and explained to a supervisor XXXX that this is a mistake. It is reporting on my credit report incorrectly as an unpaid balance when I do not have any unpaid balances with XXXX XXXX  XXXX. It is showing as a chargoff/derogatory account. They never attempted to even contact me prior to this to try to collect. If they would have attempted to contact me by phone or mail, I would have had the opportunity to explain to them the situation before they put it on my credit report. This violates my rights as a consumer and clearly shows shady tactics by this company to unfairly collect a debt without giving me the opportunity to dispute it.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I received a notice from FedLoan Servicing dated XX/XX/2022 informing me that a PSLF certification form did not include the end date of employment. The notice did not identify the employer in question and did not provide any information that would enable me to identify the certification form allegedly missing this information. Due to that lack of information, I was required to call PHEAA and have now been sitting on hold for more than hour to speak with a " specialist '' for the sole purpose of obtaining a single piece of information that could easily have been provided in the written notice and which is absolutely necessary in order for me to respond to the notice. I tried the option of requesting a call back but that did not work and I was left with no choice but to wait on hold. PHEAA, which has profited enormously through its incompetence in student loan servicing, should be required to compensate me for the time irretrievably lost to said incompetence.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Freedom Mortgage bought my loan in XX/XX/2018. From day one I have had nothing but problems with them, ie. recording payments properly miss applying payments to the wrong account. 
I have had converstions with them on more times then I would have cared to, with nothing resolved. 
I have asked for a face to face to resolve the issue but they stated " we dont do that ''. 
I have this all documented with the dates, times, and person Ispoke with. 
They have now filed a foreclosure proceeding against me. I am not in the arrears and I have all my bank statements to prove it. 
I have their statements showing on several different occasions that there was no payment due, I knew this was nor correct and amde the payments anyway. 
Their statements are very confusing and I believe this is intentional, so as to confuse the customer. 
they keep calling and asking me to sign up for a program to get money from the government to pay what they say are arrearage, I did not participate in this because I am not in the arrears, This seems like a scam on their part to get money not due them. 
I am in the process of compling the bank statements and will provide them in a few days.

Company: CARDINAL FINANCIAL COMPANY, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
When closing our refinance loan, Cardinal Financial engaged a closing agent, when preparing the closing statements, Cardinal Financial was responsible for transferring the payments from the previous escrow to the new escrow and paying the homeowners policy for the next year ( or ensuring that there was enough money in escrow to cover it ). At closing we still had several months on our policy. We were billed for the new years policy, then refunded the policy amount then when the renewal policy was not paid as the money was not in escrow and I received a cancelation notice only after contacting Cardinal Financial did they paid the policy. Now due to their errors, there was a deficiency in the escrow account that has caused our monthly payment to increase over {$300.00} a month as we are about to enter a recession. When I presented to above to Cardinal, they did not address this issue but used my neighbors property tax bill ( not mine ) to refactor the escrow account. The names on our tax bill and my neighbors are not anywhere near the same. Cardinal Financial has engaged in a series of mistakes and errors that have been costly to my husband and I.
