Consumer complaint: I have a Bank of America Visa card. I had a balance of approximately {$18000.00} at 16 % interest I used the remaining available credit for a balance transfer offer ( 18 months zero interest 4 % transaction fee ) Now the bank is telling me that my minimum monthly payment goes first to pay down the principal of the lowest interest. In fact my payment does not even go first to pay the interest I 'm being charged on the high interest balance, that interest is being added to my principal each month. This is a deceptive practice. Please help. Payments should be applied first to interest being charged on an account, then to the balance subject to the highest interest rate.

Consumer complaint: I got hurt at work and took a 60 % pay cut. I had a 9 % loan on the house that I could not afford the 9 % after I took the pay cut. I applied for a modification and US Bank said that I qualified for it so in the process of going through multiple surgeries I had to hire a third party to help with the modification which US Bank would NOT coroporate with would n't acknowledge than after months of going back and forth with them they finally gave us a point person to work with. The point person said that they were going to include the back and future property taxes and had told me to hold off on paying till the modification went through or approved. Basically, I got strung along without getting a straight answer for about 3 years. Then they refused to take my payment for 8 months. Finally the modification was approved only for 54 months and it did not include the back taxes like they said it was going to be only future with the loan. Because of this the XXXX I owed in back taxes ended up being XXXX ( due to the 80 % charge penalty from city ) US Bank did not include them in the loan. Now they paid the back taxes and want {$5500.00} plus the loan payment of {$1500.00} which I signed an agreement of XXXX to pay with the taxed included. I went to them for a modification to afford the house. At that price I do n't who can pay {$8000.00} a month for a mortgage. It 's not like I said I could not pay them it was the 9 % and paying the taxes on my own that I could not afford. It seems odd that I am paying {$1500.00} a month for a {$45000.00} loan for 4 years. Than I received another letter stating my new payment was {$2300.00} for 54 months. I still can not afford that. I just need the loan for 10 to 15 years so that I can afford the payment and stay in my house.

I was also in the process of moving. I nevercontacted Wells Fargo to give them my new address becauseI was under the assumption that the loan was paid off. Wells FargoDealer Services sent me a XXXX letter dated XXXX 2012So I could purchase my current car. I disputed this with Wells Fargoas well as XXXX for reporting this inaccurate. XXXX changedthe dates several times. Please see attached. Wells Fargo is tryingto say they faxed a copy of the XXXX letter with the wrong datethis is not true. I found the letter they mailed me back then. I con-tacted Wells Fargo and spoke to XXXX XXXX who not only signedthe XXXX letter but said Wells Fargo sent out a letter via mail thatthe insurance did not payoff the loan in full and I was responsible for thedeductible. She verified that the mail came back undeliverable so thenthe began calling me. When they contact me I did make the paymentover the phone. My rights are being violated on a few levels. On XXXX level this has been repeatedly updated with the dates changing several times by the furnisher andthe credit reporting agency. Section XXXX states that the respons-ibilities of the furnishers of information to consumer reportingagencies. subtitle a reporting information with actual knowledgeof errors is against the law. Also after it is confirmed that this is anerror and still reporting it is illegal.

Consumer complaint: This is getting ridiculous. TransUnion sent a correspondence claiming to have concluded the investigation for my dispute against the said debt purported by XXXX XXXX as valid. I have submitted copies of all my letters to XXXX initiating billing disputes. XXXX XXXX has violated the Fair Credit Billing Act. At best, this matter boils down to a billing dispute initiated by me before voluntarily canceling my service. XXXX has yet to acknowledge my billing dispute and just keeps sending me unaltered copies of the final bill. It 's like I 'm " talking to a brick wall. '' This is willful ignorance. I use plain, straightforward language in my correspondence, and I 've submitted it to XXXX, TransUnion XXXX. XXXX XXXX has unlawfully reported this account intending to affect my credit rating and willfully reported me as delinquent. This is grossly inaccurate. I have submitted a request for full disclosure of the investigative process carried out by XXXX to verify said debt, and sent a copy of the letter to XXXX XXXX corporate headquarters in New Jersey. I have filed an FTC complaint against XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX has committed several violations of the FCBA and FCRA, including but not limited to, threatening my credit rating, reporting me as delinquent, willfully failing to acknowledge my billing dispute, failing to apply/post credits, charges for goods and services you did n't accept or that were n't delivered as agreed, and unauthorized charges for data when I only agreed to start service under the promise of an unlimited data flat rate plan for XXXX phone line. TransUnion has equally violated laws protecting against that to which I 've been subjected because they have failed to decide this matter according to law. My documents clearly show that I have initiated my billing disputes timely and properly. The mere submission of a bill statement from XXXX is legally insufficient as peremptory evidence that the XXXX account balance is accurate. That just gross bias. My documentation is not being taken seriously. My complaints are not being taken seriously and meanwhile XXXX XXXX is still wrongfully report me as delinquent and has never even so much as acknowledged my billing dispute.

Consumer complaint: Note For CFPB rep : Although this complaint is the same as a prior complaint, I am including new information for Experian. Due to the fact that Experian is not required to respond to a Disputed CFPB case and the dispute does not allow for the upload of additional information I ask that you please process this as a new CFPB complaint. Thank You. 

For Experian : On XXXX/XXXX/2015 I submitted a CFPB complaint with Experian, hoping it would lead to an " Executive Investigation '' rather than the typical investigation submitted through their regular channel as it is highly ineffective. My hope when submitting this " Executive Complaint '' was that I would be connected with a direct experian case agent who would actually do their homework, and call the creditor in order to verify the claim that I made was accurate and correct my information as required by the FCRA. Unfortunately this was too much to ask for from experian as experian did the exact same thing they did when I submitted a complaint through the regular channel, absolutely nothing. In fact it was worse than nothing. Instead of verifying my claim with the creditor, they instead chose to take time out of their day to respond to my complaint by accusing me of making up false data and submitting documentation from " Some Law Firm '' as they put it in their response. If they would have called either " XXXX '' at ( XXXX ) XXXX or " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' at ( XXXX ) XXXX They would have seen that it was not a made up document, but a verifiable legal document issued by the attorney representing the creditor. Since picking up the phone is apparently too much work for experian, I took the liberty of doing their homework for them. I have attached a document written by XXXX. XXXX XXXX, Director of the Student Loan Program for the New Jersey XXXX ( the Creditor ) stating that the loan has been paid off in full. I have also attached a previous document from XXXX which states the specific reason the payoff amount is higher than the amount listed with experian which is the reason i 'm assuming is the direct cause of experian taking the stance that the attorney payoff letter is not a " valid '' document. ( experian 's credit record does not account for the attorney fees. ) If experian wishes to verify the information for themself. They can contact Ms.Gervasio at XXXX or contact XXXX at ( XXXX ) XXXX ( which is the number listed on XXXX 's webite ) and ask to be transferred to XXXX XXXX to verify the information I am reporting is correct. 
I just checked my credit report with Experian last week, and they are again incorrectly reporting that I paid {$0.00} for the month of XXXX 2015. 
I have the documentation for a small claims lawsuit filled out for the amount of {$1000.00} in full at this point in time. If experian chooses to respond with anything other than " We have contacted XXXX and have corrected the information accordingly '' I will be sending out the lawsuit and will gladly collect the {$1000.00}.

Consumer complaint: We refinanced our home several years ago and the loan was sold to US Bank. It has been horrible ever since. We have never been late with a payment on our mortgage. US Bank deliberately makes paying the loan difficult. I can only occasionally access my account online - they have the worst website ever. Sometimes I can log in, other times I ca n't. It will say my password/ID is n't in the system. I 'm stuck having to write monthly checks to mail in stead of the paying online. I think they do this in the hopes of the customer being forced to make a late payment so they can tack on big fees. I called customer service about it and she gave me some insane excuse that I needed to use a different search engine??? That makes no sense at all. It does n't matter whether I get to their website via explorer, Chrome, etc. the result is the same. They also overcharge every single year for escrow account.

Consumer complaint: Flood Insurance over charge. Every year Bank of America sends me an Flood Insurance update XXXX in XXXX XXXX for renewal purposes. It is always a hassle, they send me an OPT OUT letter which allows me to only have flood insurance coverage on the amount of balance owed. Getting them to honor it is very difficult. Last year they had the amount incorrect and refused to correct it. I sent back the letter with a copy of my statement showing I only owed them XXXX NOT XXXX. When I called them, I was told several times " oh yes we will get that fixed ''. I requested paperwork in writing over and over, it never arrived. They drug it out past the " renewal window ''. I had a XXXX call with BOA and XXXX which got very heated. BOA " bank of America '' said it was Insurance company so we then got her on the phone as well. BOA still insisted and XXXX was amazed by the ignorance of BOA, but it was to late and I was denied by XXXX in reduction of coverage because the bank refused to correct the paperwork in a timely manor. BOA was sued recently for placing lender based insurance on there loans. This was before my new troubles with them so I did n't join the class action law suit. They have managed to get me the last two years. Now my payment is approx. XXXX more than it should be due to the extreme amount of flood insurance they selected for me! I believe the new " amount owed '' error is not an error and it is there new way of getting away with the over charging of there customers. Previously it took several heated calls to get them to honor the OPT OUT letter. its so aggravating and unfair of BOA the lender to treat the customer this way.

Consumer complaint: We applied for a streamlined refinance on XXXX XXXX, 2015 with Freedom Mortgage. Initially, we were told the process would take XXXX3 weeks. Since that time, we have been through several processors at Freedom Mortgage, so we never know who to contact for questions. We have been promised several closing dates ... of which all of them have come and gone with little to no explanation. They stated once that part of a delay was they were waiting on us to send a subordination agreement ... of which I had sent them XXXX times previously for their approval before having my XXXX mortgage lender sign it. Then ... when Freedom approved the subordination, I overnighted the signed document to Freedom ... only to find out several days later that they needed the subordination changed. We are fed up with this process and do n't understand the consistent delays with the complete lack of communication.
