Consumer complaint: I have been in a debt management program for XXXX years until just this month decided to leave the program I am leaving the program because I am trying to refinance my home. The payments I was making in the debt management program would not allow me to refinance because my debt to income ratio is too high. After I left the program I was looking for the credit card companies to lower my minimum payments down to their normal calculation or by law. They are refusing to lower my payment. I have faithfully made my payment under the debt management program on time reducing my balances from {$70000.00} to {$11000.00}. I have talked with Bank of America up to the management level and they say I must continue with the minimum payments that they set XXXX years ago.I will continue to pay more than the minimum but I am in need to get the minimums down to be able to refinance my home. I currently owe Bank of America roughly {$4500.00} on XXXX accounts paying them {$520.00}. per month. If recalcalcuated payments would be no more {$90.00} per month. I am having the same problem with XXXX XXXX.

Consumer complaint: I would like assistance in getting NC State Employee Credit Union to review my loan for a one month deferment of the mortgage payment. I called the Credit Union on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and spoke to a person named XXXX. I explained that my mother died unexpectedly and I had to come out of pocket {$4200.00} to pay for a burial plot and autopsy. Because of this I am behind in making my mortgage payment by about 3 weeks. He said he would research if a one month extension could be done and call me back on Monday XX/XX/XXXX. I did not hear from anyone Monday XXXX/XXXX/15 or Tuesday XXXX/XXXX/2015. I called back on Wednesday XXXX/XXXX/15 and spoke to XXXX. She said that she would pass my account to XXXX and ensured me that I would get a call back. I did not hear from anyone the rest of XXXX/XXXX/2015. I called again on Thursday XXXX/XXXX/2015 and spoke to XXXX who said that the policy is that I can not get an extension if it was to pay an expense and if my hardship was under 30 days long. I explained that I was not requesting it to pay an expense, I 've already paid it and that is what has strained my cash flow. I explained that I was on unpaid leave from XX/XX/2015-XX/XX/2015, to which he said was n't a long enough time. I explained that I have XXXX checking account with the credit union, have XXXX auto loan currently, another car loan paid in full, a credit card, my mortgage, and a savings account. If I experienced a cash flow struggle in order to bury my mother, I think that deserves an exception to the guidelines. He agreed that it was unfortunate that the guidelines were not set up to assist my issue, but he had to go by the guidelines. He said that if my mother was on the loan, if I had experienced a medical harship instead of my mom, or if my mother had been sick 30 days instead of 21, they would be able to assist per the guidelines. He offered to approve a loan for {$950.00} to make the XXXX payment I 've behind, which basically increases my expenses even more and is no help. I would like to see if someone could review my situation looking at it from a " human '' standpoint rather than by a paper book guideline. I paid out {$4200.00} but only asked for one month ( {$950.00} ) worth of help. I could n't even get the Credit Union to honor their word to call me and talk about my situation. And when I get someone he says " your mom was sick long enough '' -- I think its beyond unfair, unreasonable, and flat out insensitive.

Subsequently, I negotiated with my lending company and agreed to a full and complete settlement on XX/XX/XXXX.

Likewise, as of Monday, XX/XX/XXXX, my TransUnion credit report incorrectly shows my account with XXXX, XXXX , XXXX XXXX in addition to a XXXX listing with XXXX.

" My XXXX credit report was correct when I pulled it in XX/XX/XXXX. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act creates a " duty to correct and update information '' for entities that furnish consumer information to credit reporting agencies.

Consumer complaint: Mortgage originator sold my mortgage to U.S. Bank, I had already made my first payment to Mortgage XXXX, the originator, the next payment is due to US Bank, which I could not setup an electronic payment for the first payment, hence my need to send a check.

Consumer complaint: I live paycheck to paycheck. I check my bank account balance daily if not XXXX a day. The bank I use, Wells Fargo offers online and text banking so it makes it very convenient. The problem is they do not match up. Some of the dates that transaction posts change. For example on XXXX night, the XXXX, I checked my balance through text banking. I had {$380.00} in my account. The next morning, XXXX the XXXX, when I got to work at XXXX I went online and checked my balance and transactions. It still said I had a balance of {$380.00}. At this point I realized I still had XXXX checks outstanding and I needed to transfer money from my savings. I transferred {$1200.00}. That would cover the {$1500.00} in outstanding checks. XXXX hours later I received and email saying my account was over withdrawn. Again, I went online and I see that both those absent checks had cleared but XXXX of those had a date of XXXX the XXXX. That transaction was not on my statement in the morning. They hit me with XXXX overdraft fees. They did it after I transferred the {$1200.00}. I 've noticed some variances in my account before. I noticed that checks and withdrawals move around on the statement. For example, I wrote XXXX checks, XXXX for {$100.00} and XXXX for {$160.00}. According to my text banking the {$100.00} check was posted on the XXXX. But according to my online banking that check was cashed on the XXXX and the check for {$160.00} was cashed on the XXXX. Not to mention that I can not verify what the balance of my account was after each transaction because their online banking is formatted in such a way that it wont allow. It is simply a list of debits and credits and a total at the top. I really feel that Wells Fargo is choosing what dates they want things to post to get more money in fees. I went to the manager and he was unwilling to do anything to help me. I would really appreciate it if someone would look into this. This is predatory, greedy behavior. I should not have lost {$70.00}. I only bring home {$XXXX} a week and I 'm a single parent of XXXX. Thank you.

Consumer complaint: I sent a dispute to Experian and they keep refusing to honor and respond to my disputes. This is the XXXX time I 've sent the dispute, which is supposed to clear up the inaccurate items on my credit. First, they say I sent a suspicious request, so they would n't process the disputes. Second time, I sent it certified mail, return receipt and they received it but never responded and 3rd time, they told me that the items had already been investigated and verified ( which was a complete lie ). There are XXXX collection accounts reporting to Experian which are all completely incorrect. 
1 ) XXXX - told me they already requested a deletion months ago2 ) XXXX - told me they already requested a deletion months ago3 ) XXXX - never verified4 ) XXXX - never verified5 ) XXXX - never verifiedThis has been going on for over 6 months and Experian is blatantly breaking the law.

I 'd like these accounts deleted right away.

Consumer complaint: Redeemed a promotion through XXXX XXXX. I received a {$50.00} debit XXXX reading " valid thru XXXX ''. On XXXX/XXXX/2015 I attempted to activate the card for use and was told by citibank ( XXXX # XXXX ) that the card was promotional and expired and he would not reissue the card although it still had {$50.00} on the card. I explained that the card reads on front that it is a " Debit '' " XXXX '' for {$50.00} and I requested that a replacement card be issued to access those funds on the debit card. He refused stating it was promotional. I understand that debit cards are often handed out as part of promotions - but nonetheless- this card reads " Debit '' " XXXX '', still has funds that I would like access to ; that he was refusing access to funds given to me. This is not a " use it or lose it '' situation. I was promised a {$50.00} debit XXXX and I would like to use that {$50.00} at my leisure and if the card expires, please issue a new XXXX so that I have access to the funds. A promise is a promise.

Consumer complaint: My identity got stolen 

Company response: Company chooses not to provide a public response
Consumer complaint: I received a medical debt in the mail that was not mine. I wrote the collection agency Grant & Weber, to inform them the debt was n't mine and I was a victim of identity theft. They never responded to my request or even replied " and again I disputed the debt because it was n't mine and was a result of ID Theft. 

This debt is fraudulent and has never been validated. It was been past the 30 days as law provides to validate this debt nor did they reply to my dispute as law directs them to do so. 

I applied for a credit loan and was denied due to their frauudlent reporting. 

I then check my credit and found the collection agency reported this fraudulent account on my credit file causing a major credit diminish to my exceptional credit. 
This collection agency never validated this debt within 30 days and then knowingly and purposely reported this fraudulent account that is not mine on my credit report. 
This a defamation of my character, malicious intent and a violation of my FDCPA, CA Rosenthal Act and California Identity Theft Act

Consumer complaint: I received a combination letter/form fromPopular Community Bank. The letter indicated that I had an inactive account ( the account number was on the letter ) that would be turned over to the XXXX if I did not take some steps to activate the account by a date in XXXX. I called the number on the form ( I checked on line and the number on the form was the number listed for the bank ). I spoke with a representative to confirm the contents of the letter and asked how to just withdraw the funds. I was told that the account needed to be reactivated first before the withdrawal could be made. I asked if the request for withdrawal could be made at the same time as the activation request. I was told yes and returned the form with my request for the withdrawal of funds. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I received a call from E-Loan where the original account had been opened. I was told that if I wanted the funds withdrawn, I would need to do so on the e-loan site not in writing as previously told. I took the number and called back ( the number listed on the e-loan website was the same number I had been given ), talked with someone else who gave me the same information. I spoke with XXXX representatives of e-loan and XXXX representatives of Popular bank. Each said I needed to follow the e-loan process. I went on line to make the request yesterday. When I entered my information to set sign into the account ( I was really setting up and account because I could not find the original account information ), I received an error message. I also sent an e-mail to Popular Band customer service but have received no response. I am worried that I have been the victim of a scam.

Consumer complaint: very " simple '' situation. XXXX XXXX refused to change mailing address, kept sending it to old address, in spite of notification of COA by mail, telephone & online. So then, since they could not get the statement to me, I closed acct. that took weeks, instead of a few minutes.. the " late '' charges are because they would not get the billing statement to the current/correct mailing address. 
I think the problem lies not in billing /accounting, but in customer service procedures. We still shop there, as they are handy. The problem is not with local stores, but headquarters.
