Consumer complaint: While looking into applying for a mortgage, I found I have a default civil judgement listed on my Experian credit report. The judgement was obtained fraudulently as I was never served and never had a chance to defend myself in court.Initially I disputed the record as fraudulent, but experian only confirmed the records existence. I then hired a law firm, XXXX XXXX XXXX, to fight this and they set up a settlement with the firm that sued me, XXXX ( NYS index # XXXX ). The settlement agreement stipulated the judgement being vacated with my agreement to pay a {$1300.00} settlement, in monthly {$100.00} payments until paid in full. The case is now closed, the judgement has been vacated for over one month, possibly two months, yet my latest Experian dispute over the matter did not remove the record from my report. Upon receipt of the dispute results yesterday, ( filed XXXX XXXX, 2015 ), I attempted to dispute again online with Experian and was told that I would have to mail my supporting documents when i tried to upload them electronically. Experian has failed to properly investigate my case and is keeping information on my credit report that will continue to prevent my from buying a house for my family.

Consumer complaint: While checking my personal credit report, I noticed an unauthorized and fraudulent credit inquiry made by the above referenced company. I did not authorize anyone employed by this company to make any inquiry and view my credit report. This company has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 1681b ( c ). They were not legally entitled to make this fraudulent inquiry. This is a serious breach of my privacy rights. 

I have requested that they mail me a copy of my signed authorization form that gave them the right to view my credit within five ( 5 ) business days so that I can verify its validity and advised them that if they can not provide me with proof that I authorized them to view my credit report then I am demanding that they contact the credit bureaus immediately and have them remove the unauthorized and fraudulent hard inquiry immediately. I also requested that they remove my personal information from their records. 

The credit bureaus will not investigate this claim saying that it is a 'matter of record '. This company refuses to provide me a copy of the signed application, the date it was signed and that I agreed to terms and conditions. 

Company response: Company believes it acted appropriately as authorized by contract or law

To date there has been nor response. I contacted BarclayCard and submitted a dispute for the full. I also faxed over the requested documentation the needed. After 11 phone calls to customer service, my account has yet to reflect the provisional credit amount which means BarclayCard is still charging me interest on that amount. When I call they refuse to allow me to speak directly with the person handling the dispute and have claimed that someone will call me within 48 hrs.

Mortgage Servicing & Procedures & Lies : Suntrust concealing the time line when the borrower entered loss mitigation procedures in XXXX in order to justify the late fees that were charged, that the borrower was reported delinquent to the CRA 's during the trial & also in order to conceal the fact that after 6 month of processing XXXX the borrower was first approved ( XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX ) & than shortly thereafter borrower was denied for HAMP - borrower received NO denial Letter.

Consumer complaint: The loan was in review for a modification with Wells Fargo / ASC. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, a letter was sent to me from XXXX stating that my trial modification was approved and that I needed to make XXXX payments to solidify the modification. This letter is attached. Wells Fargo called me on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and stated that I had missed the first payment, but that they would continue the review if I wired the funds immediately to them. On their direction, I did so. The wire is attached. I called Wells Fargo back on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and told them I was able to wire more funds to make the XXXX and XXXX payments in advance. They directed me on how and where to send the wires. That wire receipt is attached. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Wells Fargo called me and stated that I had not made my XXXX XXXX payment. I was confused, as I had made a payment on XXXX, but they told me to make another payment, and by their instructions, I did so, on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. That wire is attached. I heard nothing about the loan mod until I received a notice of intent to foreclose on my house. I hired an attorney who spoke with XXXX XXXX at Wells Fargo and an escalations team member named XXXX. The attorney contacted Wells Fargo on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, but the file was not assigned to XXXX until XXXX XXXX, XXXX - ten days later, 3 days before the foreclosure sale. XXXX called the attorney on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, stating that though ASC confirms that my loan was in active review for a loan modification during the time of XXXX XXXX, XXXX, ASC denies sending me the attached letter. The letter has my full legal name, mailing address, Wells Fargo account number, and monthly payment information - items that only ASC would know. The letter is written on ASC letterhead with a barcode for filing purposes on the side of the letter. XXXX stated that Wells Fargo denies receiving the payments I sent them. They say that they removed my file from the modification program the same day they called to tell me to wire them more money on XXXX XXXX, and a month before they called me in XXXX to have me wire even more money. They say they are going to take my home tomorrow, though I did everything they told me to do. XXXX told me to call the police. I am concerned given the detail of the letter that if ASC did not send it, that they have a extensive privacy breach with regard to my file. If Wells Fargo did not call me to make payments, then someone inside their company is scamming money from their borrowers, as when I call the number back, I speak to representatives at Wells Fargo. I would like Wells Fargo to give me a chance to keep my home.

Consumer complaint: I pulled my credit report from XXXX, on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and XXXX. Wells Fargo has continually reaged a debt monthly that was charged off in XXXX. I had tax consequences in XXXX. They ca n't say a debt is still owing if they have charged it off. I want them to remove the still owing or past due balance. They are also doing this to my ex husband. They have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act for over 3 years by re aging a debt written off and closed in XXXX. XXXX XXXX was the 180 day write off period. the FDOD was XXXX XXXX. 
I will never be able to get back on my feet if they continue this illegal tactic for both my self and my ex husband.

Consumer complaint: I went online to Bank of America ( BoA ) credit card website to payoff the full amount due. The website indicated that the full amount due was {$7100.00}. There was nothing on the website to inform a consumer that paying the full amount indicated would not fully pay off the account. I made the payment for the full amount and believed I now had a zero balance on this account. As I had closed the account a number of years ago, my intention was to no longer have to make any additional monthly payments. To my surprise, instead of the next account statement showing a XXXX balance - it showed that I owed and additional {$38.00} due no later than XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I called BoA and spoke with a customer service representative, " XXXX. '' She transferred me to her supervisor, " XXXX XXXX, '' who identified himself when asked, as a " supervisor of the agent team. '' XXXX XXXX acknowledged that there is nothing on the website that explains to a consumer who wishes to pay the amount necessary to result in a zero balance on the account that the amount shown as due, on the day that the consumer signs onto the account, is NOT the actual amount that must be paid to XXXX out the account. 
XXXX XXXX explained that despite this failure to inform the consumer on the website, BoA refuses to credit the {$38.00} because somewhere in a revised terms of service, which he said was sent out in XX/XX/XXXX, it explains that if the consumer wished to pay off the full amount owed, the consumer must call BoA to find out the real account balance. 
I explained to XXXX XXXX that the failure to provide this information on the website -- in the " Pay This Card '' dialog box that pops up to allow the consumer to click on the " Make Payment '' button, and enter an amount to pay, is misleading. I asked that the {$38.00} be credited back to the account such that the next statement would show a XXXX balance, and he refused to do so, again restating the explanation in the paragraph above.

Consumer complaint: In XXXX I discovered my Barclay Credit Card was past due and I had been charged a late fee. I contacted the company and asked if they would waive the late fee and I would set up auto pay so this would not happen again. As a courtesy they waived the late fee and I set up auto pay for the minimum payment due on the due date of the XXXX of each month. This month, XXXX, I scheduled a payment for {$50.00}, then remembered that I already had the auto pay set up so I cancelled the {$50.00} payment. Today I checked to confirm that the minimum payment of {$27.00} had been made only to discover that not only was it not paid, but I was again charged a late fee. I checked my payment settings and confirmed that the auto pay was in place. I called the company to find out what the problem was and was told that when I cancelled the additional {$50.00} payment that also cancelled the auto pay and they refused to refund the late fee. This is an unfair practice. The scheduled payment should not have anything to do with the auto pay. They are set up in different areas of the website. I need your help and can provide documents.

Consumer complaint: I signed up for a Barclay 's CC in order to buy an iPhone from XXXX. I was approved and made the purchase. It required me to set up an autopay via my bank account. On my second autopay, there was not enough money in my account to make the payment. Barclay 's payment system flagged my bank account and wo n't let me use it to make payments any longer. They wo n't take a debit card or a credit card. I do n't have another bank account to make a payment. I 've written them twice and they 've basically blown me off. Meanwhile they 're sending late payment reports to the credit agencies. Effectively they 're forcing me to go out and open another bank account in order to avoid late fee 's and negative credit reports. I do n't want or need another bank account. I have notified them that I have money to pay them twice and asked for them to reinstate my bank account as a payment method twice.

Consumer complaint: A collection agency called me XX/XX/XXXX for money on a XXXX account I had paid in full in person at XXXX XXXX office, {$310.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. The phone had been stolen in XX/XX/XXXX and altho it was insured, XXXX would not replace it. I had an old phone and used it for 6 months while continuing to pay XXXX monthly in full.

Consumer complaint: Bank of America refuses to transfer my mother 's IRA to another bank. We decided to move it from BOA because they refused to do a change of address or a direct deposit of the required IRA monthly withdrawal of funds. The checks, good for only 90 days were repeatedly mailed to an old PO box we wanted to close out and three times we had to ask for new checks to be issued because the checks had expired by the time we received them. For no valid reason, BOA failed to direct deposit the checks despite my filling out the forms. It even took a month for the forms to arrive within the same town. XX/XX/XXXX I asked XXXX XXXX Bank to initiate papers to have the IRA transferred to them from BOA. BOA has dragged their heels and refused to transfer the funds despite repeated phone calls. BOA has a reputation for being extremely slow to release funds or respond to requests. We feel they are a shady and questionable bank. We want the IRA transfer to XXXX XXXX to be done immediately and for BOA to relinquish all hold and illegal use of the IRA money without permission. We believe without outside intervention they will string us along indefintely, ignoring the transfer request and continuing to illegally benefit from the funds while depriving my mother from their benefit. I am her legal guardian of person and estate and BOA has had these papers since XXXX 2013.
