Consumer complaint: I went online to Experian.com XX/XX/XXXX to check my credit score and paid for the XXXX time fee. Little did I know that the company automatically signed me up to a 7-day trial of then started to charge me {$21.00} per month for 'credit monitoring services ' which I neither do n't need nor made fully aware of. 

I noticed the charges this month and called the company seeking full refund for both XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. The customer service told me I can only get one month refund. However she did cancel the subscription and hopefully I will not get charged going forward. 

I am very disappointed by the way Experian conducts its business - it tricks consumers into signing up to expensive monthly services by teasing them with some low cost services without making full disclosure. Such services should be explicitly opt-in only and not opt-out type of services like the way Experian does it. 

It is hard to believe that after the passing of post-crisis consumer protection regulations such business practices still exist.

Consumer complaint: The reason for my complaint is because Experian has continued to report a publicrecord that is fraudulent even though I have sent supporting information to have the public record removed. They continued to claim that the public record is coming back verified from the Vendor. I have contacted their vendor XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and expressed my concern and brought to them my concern in a separate complaint that i filed with CFPB case XXXX. They responded with my concern explaining that the XXXX County Public record was removed from my lexis nexis risk file. I am attaching the response that I received through the CFPB portal from XXXX XXXX and requesting for Experian to remove this public record from my experian file. The last complaint that I put on Experian in my opinion they did not even do an investigation as the results were given not even 5 days from the date that I put the complaint. 

I am also going to attach my Drivers License and Social Security Card requesting for Experian to remove the Extended fraud alert from my file. I attempted to upload the document to the Experian website and they have also failed to respond to my request. I am requesting for a credit line increase with one of my creditors and they are declining me because of my fraud alert. They requested that I remove from my credit profile before they can continue with my request.

Consumer complaint: I purchased a product from a vendor for about {$1300.00} The product was delivered not to my specs and was unuseable. I returned the product to the vendor and they fixed their mistakes. A couple of weeks later I looked at my credit card statement and the vendor had charged my credit card {$990.00} without my permission, without notifying me and without providing me a bill. 

I called the vendor to try to resolve with no success " they might work with me '' but I never received any further correspondence. 

I called the credit card company to put the charge in dispute, they did put the charge in dispute and removed it from my bill. Then about a month later I got a form letter in the mail from the credit card company saying they could not verify a billing error and they were reposting the charge to my account which they did. 

In my letter I specifically instructed the credit card company not to pay this charge. If the vendor wants to come after me for the money then that 's between me and them. The credit card company is not the decision maker of where and how I spend my money and just because the vendor has my card number on file does n't give them the right to charge any amount they want, when they want.

Consumer complaint: I received a very tricky and dishonest offer in the mail from Bank of America. It offers 0 % interest until 2016 but after really looking into this offer it is trying to trick people who pay off their balances each month ( like me ), because it makes all new purchases subject to interest charges. It is so bad that Bank of America is going this route .... I have been a card holder for years and have a fico score of XXXX, and if i almost got tricked, I ca n't imagine what it would do the the average consumer. This should be illegal and Bank of America should get in trouble for this.

Consumer complaint: I applied for an assumption through Bank of America ( BofA ), to remove a former spouse from my existing BofA mortgage. I completed the necessary paperwork to complete the assumption ; received a notification from BofA to submit an additional signed document ; sent it back to BofA through UPS tracking ( both times ) ; and waited for feedback from them regarding next steps. Within two weeks, I received a phone call from XXXX on XXXX XXXX at XXXX from a woman in their XXXX branch who notified me that BofA did n't have plans to move forward with my assumption because they were about to sell my mortgage to another lender. I asked the woman whether BofA would still move forward with terminating my application if I refinanced my mortgage with BofA instead of filing an assumption. She said, it would n't make a difference. I 'm certain that was a lie, because the very next day I received a package from BofA ( which was obviously already in the works ) updating me on the status of my assumption process ; which tells me, the company was moving forward with the application until an unethical employee contacted me from XXXX and tried to talk me out of the assumption. I completed the additional paperwork that was requested by BofA and mailed the paperwork the next day. However, on Fri., XX/XX/XXXX, my former spouse contacted me to tell me he 'd contacted BofA and they claimed that I had terminated my assumption application, which was not true. The woman who called me from XXXX did not present the decision to discontinue my assumption application as a choice. Instead, she stated it as a fact and as an update by her on the company 's behalf. Now, after contacting XXXXXXXXXXXX who notified my ex-husband that the process had been terminated and whom I made aware of the mystery call from XXXX, she wo n't acknowledge my emails and has made no attempt to investigate what happened to my assumption application. I will submit this same request with the Better Business Bureau as well. 

I believe that, had I refinanced with Bank of America, they would have made no attempt to cancel my assumption application. But, because my mortgage is an FHA loan that they 're not able to profit from, a representative of BofA terminated my assumption application on the basis of discrimination. 

Please feel free to contact me by email or phone. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint: Our loan was service released from XXXX to Select Portfolio Services ( SPS ) as of XXXX/XXXX/2015. When we received our initial statement from SPS, we noticed that the loan was setup incorrectly. We contacted SPS on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and advised them of the error. We generated and sent out a certified letter to SPS with the previous statement as to how the loan should be setup. On XXXX/XXXX/2015, we spoke to SPS and stated to them again the loan is still setup incorrectly. On XXXX/XXXX/2015 SPS called stating dispute being reviewed. On XXXX/XXXX/2015 SPS called again stating loan was setup correctly. We advised SPS that this is incorrect and to re-review the actual mortgage statements provided. On XXXX/XXXX/2015, we sent another certified letter to SPS in regards to the loan being setup incorrectly. We requested a payoff statement and payment history on XXXX/XXXX/2015 from SPS. We received the payoff statement and again it reflects the incorrect information. The only responses we have received from SPS is that they are in receipt of correspondence. Nothing in writing to our complaint or request of documentation. We are requesting assistance before we file a lawsuit against SPS in regards to our loan being setup incorrectly.

Consumer complaint: This company has called me multiple times. Today, specifically, they asked to speak to XXXX XXXX. I asked who was speaking. The lady on the line said XXXX. I said, " Ok XXXX, where are you calling from? '' She says, " BRG ''. I said, " What is BRG? '' She said, " Is this XXXX XXXX? '' I said, " What is BRG ''? She then says, " Is this how this conversation is going to go? '' I said, " What is BRG? '' She then says, " I am not allowed to disclose personal information '' To that, I reply, " Telling me what BRG is, is not giving out personal information ''. She then says, " I 'll call back later ''. This is not the first time they have refused to tell me what BRG is. Their called ID is very sketchy and says " Unbound '' followed by 5 or 6 numbers. I have never heard of BRG and have no idea why they are calling but I do n't want to even attempt to find out why they are calling if they are n't even willing to identify the company and what it is.

Consumer complaint: I have contacted ChexSystems several times about removing a bad address that belongs to someone else from my ChexSystems banking/credit report. ChexSystems keep telling me that the disputed address was provided by me. I have no record of this. At any rate, ChexSystems has my current and correct address on file ; there is no need for them to keep an additional erroneous address in my file. This put me in jeopardy of identity theft. I would like ChexSystem to remove the erroneous address. Thank you.

Consumer complaint: I have a current issue with XXXX XXXX. They agreed to pro-rate my last invoice. They forgot. I have made several attempts to resolve. I owe for XXXX. They stated, once, they were going to pro-rate the debt. I agreed to send them what I owe them. 

Amsher Collection Agency has called me several times over the past XXXX weeks or so. Each time they called, I disputed the debt. 

Today I spoke to XXXX at Amsher Collection Agency. She said the dispute ca n't be verbal but mandatory, must be in writing. I asked her to check because I thought she was wrong. 

She went on to say in order to get the dispute process started I must make a goodwill payment, what? She then repeated her statement and said yes I have called several times and claim I do not owe the debt but dispute must be in writing.

Consumer complaint: I had been current with my mortgage payments with Bank of America since XXXX, up until early XXXX when, because of financial hardship, I was forced to stop making debt service payments. Before defaulting on my mortgage loan obligations, I approached Bank of America towards the end of XXXX to request assistance under the National Mortgage Settlement of XXXX. According to the settlement, every client who was current with their payments would be able to refinance. But instead of receiving any kind of assistance, Bank of America suddenly and abruptly sold the servicing rights to my mortgage loan to a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX. After this happened, I have not received any kind of assistance or any replies to my requests for assistance. In XXXX of XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX transferred the servicing rights to my mortgage loan back to Bank of America. To date, I have not received any responses to my requests for help.

Consumer complaint: I found a " collections '' status on my credit report for a medical bill. I received XXXX bills from the physician 's office and paid via check on the XXXX bill. The check was not cashed but I received no further communication from the physician 's office. I contacted the Collections Company and told them that I had not received a letter or phone call from the company. Upon further investigation, I did not receive a letter but I did have XXXX missed calls from their unknown number ( no voicemail ). I do not feel that this is sufficient contact and I believe that they should have sent a letter if unable to contact via phone. I had extraordinary credit, no late payments, prior to this incident and I paid the outstanding balance immediately on the phone with the collections agency.

Consumer complaint: I have a dispute still under investigation with XXXX of the credit bureaus. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX is the debt collecting company collecting on behalf of Suntrust Bank on my credit card debt. Even though I have been paying on time according to the negotiated terms and allowing the company to directly debit my bank account they are still reporting me monthly as paying late because they are using my total balance owed as past due instead of reporting the amount due as the payment amount that they agreed to accept as a monthly payment in XX/XX/XXXX. I am being intimidated and/or threatened by this tactic. When I spoke with a XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to try and resolve this issue with them directly, he essentially told me that they would continue reporting me as late until the entire balance is paid off. I acknowledge that I owe the balance but if I could pay the whole balance off in XXXX lump sum I would not be in this situation. I am trying to do the right thing by paying as agreed according to the negotiated terms of repayment.

Consumer complaint: My Citibank credit card includes a " benefit '' called Trip Cancellation and Interruption Protection. It advertises that " if certain unforeseen events get in the way of your trip, '' cardmembers may be reimbursed for change fees, lodging, and meal expenses related to trip cancellation and interruption. My flights were cancelled for 2 days, and 3 different " benefits advisors '' at Citi 's service said I would be covered for hotel and meals while I waited for my next flight. They said that I could not file a claim or document my issue until after I spent the money on the expenses. After I spent the money, Citi later said that I was not actually covered, because trip " cancellation '' means that you have to cease all travel, and " interruption '' means you had to begin travel and then cut your trip short. Citi would not take responsibility for 3 separate benefits advisors giving me the wrong information ( that I would be covered ). Further, the benefits documents and fine print contain no definition of " cancellation '' or " interruption. '' Rather, the text is incredibly misleading, because it says " change fees '' are covered, and that you are covered if " You ca n't travel because severe weather, a natural disaster, or a labor dispute causes all travel to or from your destination to stop for at least 24 hours. '' By advertising to customers that the card contains benefits that are not truly in place, Citi is misleading people into using their card and spending money that will not be covered.

Consumer complaint: XXXX we took out a mortgage with XXXX. Our new home was a co-op apartment ; as such, we did not own the apartment outright, but instead owned shares in the corporation that was our apartment building. At the closing, our stock certificate was placed in the possession of XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX informed us that our mortgage was transferred to Greentree Servicing. XX/XX/XXXX, we decided to sell our apartment. Our lawyer retained a firm that requested our file, including our stock certificate, from Greentree on XX/XX/XXXX. To date -- XXXX weeks later -- despite numerous requests, Greentree has not produced the file. This is the only step that is holding up our closing. When we spoke to " Gail '' at Greentree Customer Service today ( XX/XX/XXXX ), she reported that she could find no record of our having requested the file and said our only recourse was to request the file today. We no longer live in that apartment and are now paying interest and principle on an unoccupied home. In addition, our closing is in jeopardy, in which case even more money is at stake. We would add that we have never once missed a single mortgage payment.

Consumer complaint: I had a previous modification with Wells Fargo and was making payments on that modification for several years and remained current. The XXXX, the XXXX loan, was problem. I attempted to reach out to them to negotiate a payment plan. I had difficulty working with XXXX, getting a hold of them specifically, and they were unwilling to consider any type of payment plan outside of the entire note. I was n't even asked for my income for consideration for a modification, although, I could have afforded the loan in reasonable monthly payments. 
I prepared to borrow money to pay the entire note XXXX, and I could only get {$50000.00}. The XXXX representative informed both me and the money lender I had retained that they, XXXX XXXX, had a buyer for the note. At this time, the loan had not gone to foreclosure auction yet. 
I had filed for bankruptcy, but XXXX sold my XXXX loan at auction XX/XX/XXXX. Since I was in bankruptcy, the bankruptcy judge informed my lawyer that my lawyer had to get my property back. A 3rd party who purchased this note is currently being indicted for auction rigging. 
Recently, XXXX XXXX, my father, who is also on the loan, received a call that our Wells Fargo loan was all paid up. We confirmed this with XXXX XXXX 's office that another bank loan paid off the XXXX, effectively removing me from having anything to do with the property. 
I have now lost my home and my equity since Wells Fargo, despite several attempts to contact them, will not explain to me what happened.
