Complaint narrative:
Saw television program on XXXX XXXX XXXX offering a XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( premium brand name ) purse on XXXX/XXXX/2022 and we then went online and purchased a purse for XXXX which we must have pulled a phony webpage that looked exactly like the real page. they sent a very cheap ( plastic purse ) value about two dollars without even the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX label. When we called the shopping network to complain they stated they had received numerous calls and were reporting to the local attorney general. I contacted capitalone one to dispute. Apparently they did not send any letters that i needed more information and re-posted the charge. I sent them a photo of the phone item and on package there was a phony address that read something to the effect of address mailed from is not address of merchant. Unfortunately could not contact merchant, capital one was of limited help ( apparently reps in foreign country with little understanding ) .They wanted me to spend more time and effort rather than reversing a charge.Also why would i ask them to cancel that card and request another if i did not feel i had been scammed and someone had my number.

Complaint narrative:
I'm writing to you after reading over The Cares Act provision and seeking forgiveness based on its policy. 


I noticed that my most recent credit report contains a late payment reported in XX/XX/2023 on ComenityBank/XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX. I want you to know that I understand, and have great respect for my financial obligations. Unfortunately, at the time of the incident mentioned above, I, myself and my wife both were shamefully fighting XXXX. Per a call with a rep of ComenityBankXXXX and in a great attempt to maintain my financial responsibility, I was under the impression that I qualified for a deferment plan. Nothing mattered more to me than keeping my relationship and credit worthiness intact. So I expressed great concerns about the possible cons of opting into such a program. I was assured on a recorded call that all shall be well as long as I operated within the guidelines, in which I did. Sometime later I was alerted by one of my credit monitoring services that this account was flagged as 30 days late. I immediately called in and satisfied my balance. Aside from this unforeseen and unavoidable circumstance, you will see that I have excellent payment record.This has been really challenging to my credit worthiness and stressing for quite some time now. Because I felt so betrayed by this creditor, it took me a while to use this card again. Now, I ask for your mercy under The Cares Act amendment. I understand that this is only something you can rectify. I am planning on refinancing my home and it has come to my attention that the missed payment on my credit reports is hurting my ability to qualify. In my heart, I know that the missed payment doesn't reflect my solvency. I am humbly asking for you to give me a second chance by making a goodwill adjustment to remove the late payment on XX/XX/2023 from my credit reports. As I understand it, you can do so in just a few minutes of your time. I would greatly it. Thank you for your consideration. Have a blessed day!

Complaint narrative:
I notice several month ago i had a student loan being reported on my credit report by XXXX XXXX. I sent out a validation letter and after 30 days it was still being reported and never was validated. I contacted them and was informed the debt was transferred to EDFinancial, after i got in contact with them, i explained my situations and told them by law it must be removed as it was not my debt and they were give 30 days to validate and never did. So the representitive asked for my address to confirm, and the address they had on file was not mine. After the fact, they began using the information to report on my credit reports without my authorization which is a clear violation of my rights. I sent out be certified mail a letter requesting a proper consumer investigation on the matter as described under the Fair Credit Reporting Act US 15 1681a section 3 ( e ) which stating interviews must be conducted which friends, neighbors, and associated who may have knowledge of the assumed debt. I have contacted all the people i am familiar with and no interviews have been conducted and the debt is still being reported although no efforts has been made in regards to my request for a proper consumer investigation which are clearly within my consumer rights.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I was able to take a XXXX forbearance on my home loan. Due to pandemic the doors to my employer closed down. Citizens One made it easy to utilize the forbearance as an option. After my forbearance period was over XX/XX/XXXX they had me contact them to set up payment options. I was told the past due would be put on the back end of the loan. They directed me to fill out a loss mitigation application. I did so. 
I submitted all required documents needed. Nobody updated my account for months. I tried to make a payment towards my mortgage and my payment was returned to me. They said no payments are allowed to be accepted during this time. Months went by no update. I contacted them again. Suddenly I got a letter in the mail saying i have been denied due to incomplete application. I challenged this with the representative. They said resubmit all the documents again. Months passed, finally i got a response in the mail stating that i had two options. Died in lieu or short sale. only two options.

This was not my plan to sell my home. I was mislead and they said that they can not allow due to so many months of non payment. Where do i go or what do i do. This is unfair. How can anyone expect to be able to pay lump sum at one time after forbearance and then not be given any options to resolve the situation.

Complaint narrative:
This account was an insurance claim that was paid out by my insurance provider and the gap insurance provider at the time. The amount that is being reported as a charge off, was actually the amount that me and the company agreed would be wrote off because of the total loss insurance claim. I wrote the company to get validation of debt but the letter was returned to sender. Due to company being unreachable at the address on file. In compliance with 15 U.S. code 1681g ( 3 ) ( a ) ( ii ) ( b ) ( i ) ( ii ) which speaks on disclosure to consumers. The credit reporting company never provided information on how, who, and what information was used to say this account was verified. Being in violation of 15USC 1681e ( b ).

The attached 1099C from shows proof that this account can not be considered as debt. I had to file the amount on my return which the IRS says this is taxable income. Which makes the debt paid and the company policy is to discontinue any collection.
