Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX, I went to XXXX to view free credit reports I am entitled to received XXXX time ( per CRA ) per year. I successfully viewed my XXXX and Experian reports. I also selected the purchase option to get my credit score from both of these CRA 's. My Transunion experience was fine : simple, transparent and provided me with what I wanted/expected. I paid the one-time fee and received my score. 

My Experian experience was not fine. Although I have worked in the XXXX for over 20 years, I did not notice Experian 's " fine print '' that by getting my score for {$4.00}, I was also enrolling in a program that was free for the first month and then I would be charged {$19.00} per month after that. Today, I realized I had a {$19.00} charge on my credit card ( posted XXXX ) for Experian 's monthly {$19.00} fee for whatever " service '' I apparently enrolled in. 

In my line of work, I follow the CFPB closely. I know that credit reporting has been a big area of focus and produces a high number of consumer complaints ( some fair and some unfair I 'm sure ). 

When I called Experian to ask about the {$19.00} charge on my credit card, and to bring forward my concerns about the " automatic '' enrollment in some " service, '' the representative was professional and helpful. He immediately canceled my membership but would not refund the {$19.00} fee that had already been charged to my credit card - essentially saying it was a " legitimate charge. '' I 'll admit, I may have missed reading some disclaimer or fine print when I thought I was just getting my Experian score for a one-time fee of {$4.00} on XXXX. 

However, if I 've made this mistake, I am very confident many, many others have also made the same mistake and 1 ) have n't noticed the credit card charges yet and/or 2 ) do n't know what to do about it. That is why I 'm writing to you today. I made it clear to the Experian representative that I talked to that I was going to contact the CFPB because the " automatic enrollment '' as a " revenue generator '' for Experian was not, in my opinion, an appropriate or " consumer friendly '' way to generate revenue in today 's highly regulated environment. 

For the record, I have no personal or professional connections with anyone at Experian or XXXX - not currently and not at anytime in the past.

Consumer complaint: We received a letter from Select Portfolio Servicing , Inc. dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 which is an invitation to a Free Homeownership Preservation Event at XXXX in XXXX, NY. We will not be attending the event. We are not a customer of Select Portfolio Servicing and deny any contractual or other relationship with your organization. 

As SPS knows or should know, we have written previously informing SPS that there is no delinquency. We have disputed the debt -- as well as the authority of SPS to act in any capacity in regard to the alleged account number they reference. 

We have disputed this debt ; therefore, until affirmatively validated, SPS knows or should know their information concerning this alleged debt is inaccurate. Thus, since they have already reported this debt to any credit-reporting agency ( CRA ) or Credit Bureau ( CB ) then, they must immediately inform them of our dispute with this debt. We have received a copy of such report from Experian where SPS still lists the debt as a mortgage debt. Reporting information that SPS knows to be inaccurate or failing to report information correctly violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act1681s-2. 
SPS continues to persist in pursuing collection efforts without validating this debt, we are herewith informing SPS of another complaint that will be filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau based on their failure to comply with the FDCPA, Section 809. 

SPS has admitted that it is not the servicer of this account or any account in connection with us ; that it is only attempting to collect an alleged debt based on " servicing rights '' ; that SPS has made contractual arrangements with other parties for their own profit ; that SPS has harassed us and continues to harass us ; that SPS has not proved and is unable to prove that we owe any debt.

Consumer complaint: I applied for assistance in saving my home with my servicer, CMG Financial, on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I hired an attorney to help me submit my paperwork. My attorney confirmed CMG Financial received my full and complete application and all financials on XXXX/XXXX/2015. My attorney called CMG Financial several times for an update after the submission ( actual dates XXXX/XXXX/2015 - told only option was to leave a message ; XXXX/XXXX/15 - told only option was to leave a message ). No calls were ever returned. CMG Financial never sent out any letters per RESPA Reg X ( XXXX ) that they received the application or that they denied the request. They say they have sent out letters, but they actually have not. To date I still do not have any letters of receipt of application/denial or approval. Then on XXXX/XXXX/2015 my attorney spoke with CMG Financial and they stated my loan modification request was denied on XXXX 2015 due to liens on my title. I was not given the opportunity to appeal my denial before the 30 days period after my denial because CMG Financial withheld the denial letter and would not accept calls and did not return messages during this time. It is apparent they did this on purpose solely to evade allowing me to appeal my denial. I have a valid appeal as I have cleared my title and I am certain I qualify for assistnace. I feel my servicer purposely withheld my denial letter, avoided taking calls from my attorney and did not advise me I was denied in order to evade allowing me the time appeal the decision before setting a sale date. If I had not received the Notice of Sale, I would have never even known I was denied or was even reviewed. I still do not have a denial letter. I wish to appeal the denial, however the servicer has now set a sale date. My attorney states this was done on purpose. This servicer evades even speaking with me or my attorney. I have to call in and not enter my loan number. If I enter my loan number it only goes to a voice mail that no one calls back. I feel this is wrong and they are purpose evading my requests to try and resolve my delinquent loan and are simply pushing me into foreclosure.

Consumer complaint: My accounbt has been attacked by a company multiple times ( 8 ) in one day and multiple times ( 19 ) over the last few months especially. It happened also, a year ago and the compnay changed their name and did it again. There was XXXX company names that have tried to withdrawl ACH debits out of my account doing multiple times with less and less amounts at least 3 times in one day upto 8 times in one day. Each time I found out, I have called the Navy Federal Credit Union and they tell me to send in the request form to receive the return item fee charges that they have charged me each time it occurred. In the last 3 months, I have been charged {$550.00} in return items costs. I have faxed in the forms, and they tell me they did n't receive them. I went into the branch on XXXX XXXX, 2015 and they filled out XXXX forms for the charges and turned them into the deptartment that handles that amount. They refunded me {$200.00} and told me they were not going to give me the rest. I worked with XXXX and he said that he would get me the funds back, but now, on Monday XXXX XXXX, 2015, he said they ca n't. I then requested the reason for denying me in writing and they have refused. I went into the Branch again on Tuesday XXXX XXXX, 2015 and spoke with the Branch manager, XXXX XXXX at the XXXX, VA XXXX and when I requested again in wrting for the refusal to refund me the fees that they took from my account for a fraudulant company trying to ACH debit my account repeatedly after I had made numerous calls and attmepts to stop this, she said they were still researching it and it would take upto 3 weeks, if they determine to give me the fees back. I requested the elecutronic transmisions from all the attempts made on my account and she told me that there is n't anything to give me. When I told her that they needed to abide by the Regulation E. Electronic Fund Transfer Act, and return the fees to me, because I never authoized that company ( s ) to debit my account, she told me that the law did n't protect consumers against the fees incurred by the fraudulent attempts on my accout. I have re-read the law, and it clearly outlines protection for consumers against the bank fees that are incurred with fraudulent debits. They clearly felt I had fraud against my account ( by returning {$200.00} into my account ), but are refusing to refund me all that was incurred ( another {$340.00} ) with these transactions. I have notified them via, phone, fax and in person, as soon as I knew about the attempted debits starting in XXXX 2015, but they still refuse to follow the law. I really would like someone to make sure that they do n't continue to act as though no one can make them follow the law and enforce regulation on them. I want the rest of the fees of {$340.00} returned back to me asap.

Consumer complaint: We refinanced our home loan and have been paying monthly on time. The mortgage company did n't end the original loan and they keep sending us default letters and are reporting it on our credit report that we are in default. We have called the mortgage company 4 times, every time we get a loan default letter. They keep telling us the same things that the computer is spitting out these letters and making excuses. We ca n't get the mortgage company to make the status of the past loan paid off like it should be, instead they are reporting it every month as defaulted. We have XXXX mortgages on our credit report, XXXX we are paying on and XXXX that we are in default and should have been paid off. They are hurting our credit score by reporting a loan we no longer have and that it is in default. We are afraid that they will start the process of repossession on this loan that we do n't have anymore. What can be done?

Consumer complaint: I sent a letter to Experian requesting validation of an inaccurate item on my credit file. The letter included the very pertinent information as they themselves use. If Experian is not able to identify me by the very information that they are allowing an alleged collector to use in order to make a claim, how could this be considered fair credit reporting practices? 

Instead of validating the item in dispute, Experian replied with a request for unreasonable and unnecessary personal information from my personal files, such as a copy of my drivers license, utility bill, bank statement, social security number, complete spelling of my name, and addresses for the past two years.

Consumer complaint: I have never opted in to any fee agreement with my bank, Branch Bank & trust. I have opted out of their fee agreement on several occasions, most recently the XXXX of XXXX. The previous times with their customer service dept. over the phone and fees were refunded. They have again illegally charged my personal account {$72.00} in overdraft fees and have refused any refund. These fees are illegal according to the Overdraft Protection Law. This is not first time this has happened. I contacted BBT and they said I was opted in, how convenient for them. I have never nor would I ever opt into a fee agreement. I believe it is BBT that has changed my opt out to suit their needs. My goal is to recover my lost fees and you to investigate BBT for illegal practices. Thank you

Consumer complaint: Our Mortgage loan started with Country wide, and got sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX, then resurgent which then got sold to Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing. My husband got laid off for 7 months, and we were falling behind. This was a year ago mind you. Every time we sent the documents they claimed they did not have enough information and documents, which was a straight out lie! We would re-submit the files, and by the time they processed the information it was already expired! this is a clever way to collect illegal fees, and make you fall behind even more so they can foreclosure on your home. We were only three monthe behind when this started, and were ready to pay at that point a year ago, but our Account Manager advised us not to pay because it was in review anyways. Any time we tried to make payments online, it would not allow us to pay. To this date we are still playing this game, and have no idea what to do? We do not want to lose our home, and are willing to work with them arranging some type of loan modification, but they keep saying that they ca n't help us because we did not send the information they needed, which is a flat out lie! We have proof from emails sent back and forth with their company. countless phone calls to get a voicemail, and no answer..they claim they do n't have to leave a message. Now our fees they have added has grown to a rediculous amount that we ca n't pay..of course. They want us to lose our house! Please help us keep our home, and get us on the right track with a proper loan modification.

Consumer complaint: I am disputing a charge at US Bank. I was sent a claim form for ACH entries and electronic checks to fill out and return. I went in to the local branch in XXXX, Mo to make sure I was doing everything correctly. The banker, XXXX, said that everything was right so I asked her to fax it to the claims office for me. I left then 10 minutes later I received a phone call from a non banker with the phone number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that had received the fax. The form had my full checking account number, my name, and my phone number on it. I called the XXXX number for US Bank to tell them of the error and the connected me with the local branch directly. XXXX came on the line and asked what number was on the paper. When I gave her the number that it was to be faxed to she said that it was not the number that she faxed the form too. She did not apologize and she argued with me about the number being incorrect. She told me to come back in to the branch and she would re-fax the form and do a hard close on the account. I could not go to the branch today so she told me to contact the XXXX number again and the customer service bankers could close the account. I did that and while I was on the line with US Bank customer service XXXX contacted me again and told me that she spoke to the cashier that watched her fax the form and they XXXX agreed that the number she faxed it to was on the form so she was going to investigate further and get back to me. She is not taking responsibility for giving my banking information to a regular citizen and trying to put the blame on me for her error.

Consumer complaint: Per the agreement reached between GreenTree Servicing and me, the escrow account was to be removed from my account once the escrow balance was brought to a {$0.00} balance. As of XXXX XXXX, 2015, the escrow should have been a {$0.00} balance as I made a payment of {$130.00} to the escrow account and {$400.00} to my principal/interest ( my normal mortgage payment pre-escrow ). I included a signed letter with the payment breakdown and requesting a phone call if there were any issues. I followed up with a phone call to ensure that my instructions were followed through. This was not the case. This is an arrangement that was entered into after my last complaint against GreenTree Servicing. My account has since been transferred to Ditech Servicing due to a merger.

Consumer complaint: My son stole checks from us ( Wells Fargo Checking Account ) and cashed them into his Wells Fargo Checking account. The checks were NOT SIGNED and the " To '' Field was NOT FILLED OUT. He deposited them at an Wells Fargo ATM. A total of XXXX checks for a total amount of {$4600.00} over a period of over a months were cashed. Wells Fargo did not flag or return any of these checks despite the obvious deficiencies ( see attached file for a copy of the checks ). When I talked to Wells Fargo about this, they said that the ATM is just a machine and can not verify checks, that there are too many checks cashed every day at ATM 's for Wells Fargo to verify them and that it is up to the account owner to catch any deficiencies. We also field a fraud claim with Wells Fargo, which was denied based on the fact that we are signers on both accounts ( our and as parents on the teen checking account ). 
I understand that my son 's action are my responsibility and I agree with the reasoning for denying the fraud claim - after all, if the bank tried to recover the money from him, it would have to come from us since he does n't have any ... However, I have a serious issue with a bank shrugging off the responsibility for reviewing checks. If they chose to delegate check acceptance to a machine ( ATM ), they need to put the same controls in place that they have at the counter. No teller would have accepted a check without a signature, a check without a " to '' field, a check without a date or a check where the number and word amount does not match - yet for an ATM to accept them and no-one reviewing them afterwards is supposed to be acceptable? Our son tried writing several small checks first and when they went through the system without raising any flags, he followed with more and bigger checks. If the bank had caught the clearly incomplete checks within 5-10 business days, we would have been alerted and could have stopped it right then. This would have limited our losses to {$750.00} and would have meant a misdemeanor charge for our son. Because the bank continued to honor these checks with no review whatsoever, he continued to write them and our losses went up to {$4600.00} before we caught it on our bank statement and our son now faces felony charges.
