Consumer complaint: My wife and I purchased furniture at XXXX in XXXX with terms of 0 % financing with minimum payment until XXXX under Wells Fargo Bank. These terms were applied to half of our purchase and the other part of the purchase was changed to 0 % finance for 12 months. When I noted in XXXX that we were charged extensive finance charges on part of purchase, I was told by both the merchant and Wells Fargo Bank that there was nothing that could be done unless I could prove the terms of financing. At that time, I could not find my paperwork. This hurt our credit score and due to the finance charges also made it difficult to make such a high payment. When we were cleaning out our home for purchase, I found the original paperwork from XXXX stating the terms as agreed of 0 % financing until XXXX for the entire purchase. I contacted XXXX and provided them a copy of the paperwork on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, and I was told that it was all taken care of on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX by the manager at XXXX, and it would show up in XXXX to XXXX billing cycles. I waited for approximately 6 weeks, and it still had n't shown up. I contacted the manager at XXXX and was told that someone dropped the ball, and that it would be taken care of. I then filled a dispute with Wells Fargo Bank. I provided Wells Fargo Bank a copy of the original paperwork showing that the wrong terms were applied on XXXX XXXX. I also told Wells Fargo Bank that resolving this issue was critical as we were purchasing a new home, and would not be able to acquire funding with an open dispute. I was told that they had up to 90 days to research this matter. I continually followed up with Wells Fargo Bank including my last call on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. My account is noted all the way through that the expedition of this research is needed due to the pending home loan. I was told that there was no way to expedite as they handle claims as they come in, and that they have up to 90 days to take care. Supervisors of the credit center have sent multiple emails to the billing department for an update on the status, and they have failed to respond. I indicated that they had caused my husband and I financial hardship by the bait and switch of finance terms, and now they have placed our home loan in jeopardy due to the open dispute status. I requested under the Fair Credit Reporting Act that this account be removed from my husband and my account until it is resolved since it took longer than 30 days. I was told that was impossible. At this time, we are not able to receive the home loan due to the open dispute status. We have now been caused further financial hardship/damage due to Wells Fargo Banks actions. We have lost both money from the home inspection and appraisal, and we are currently living in a XXXX with our entire family as we could not go forward with purchase, and our home was sold.

Consumer complaint: Upon selling my home XXXX PennyMac failed to refund my entire escrow account. Despite a letter from PennyMac stating they have {$240.00} for me all I need to do is tell PennyMac I want the money and they will send it they continue to hold the money. I emailed the documentation they requested to advise them I wanted the money and I have also called PennyMac twice yet PennyMac continues to provide excuses about why I have n't received my money. I have provided my current address on XXXX occasions yet PennyMac can not seem to update their system to reflect the proper address.

Consumer complaint: Recently Bank of America reported account # XXXX to my credit report as a negative around XX/XX/XXXX with an open date of XX/XX/XXXX. At the time this account was opened I was a student in XXXX. I was not legally able to open debt at the time. I have never opened up a credit card with Bank of America. This account is not mine and I strongly believe is being reported in error.

Consumer complaint: My family and I wanted to buy a new home. We got Preapproved from XXXX XXXX with Supreme Lending Services. I was very clear from the get go, that we would not sell our home that we have been living in for the past 11+years, if we could not buy another home. It was promised to us that we had everything that we needed to close on home, no problem. So we started to look for a home. We found XXXX and when it came to closing the underwriter from Supreme Lending stated that all we needed to close was XXXX bank statements, and to pay off a couple of assets. This was presented again, but to us ( XXXX and XXXX XXXX ), my realtor, the sellers ( husband and wife ), and sellers realtor on a conference call with XXXX XXXX ( Loan Officer ) that we were already approved ALL we needed was XXXX bank statement from new bank acct, and to pay off a couple of assets. When the XXXX bank statement that we were waiting for came in we were ALL under the impression that we were going to close, but at last minute we were DENIED DUE TO PAYMENT SHOCK!!!! This was a SHOCK to us all of us, because this was never mentioned. Now me and my XXXX kids ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX ) this issue has put us in a position that we maybe losing our fostering license. It takes time and money to have another home study to keep compliance for holding fostering license. Not to mention XXXX dogs that just any rental will allow to keep. 
We did everything in our power to do as the loan officer XXXX XXXX with Supreme Lending instructed us to do, and we did it at a timely manner. She did not know what she was doing, and she lied to not just to me and my husband but to both realtors and sellers involved. Every time we ( XXXX ) spoke to XXXX she needed something different from us, because something new came up, so we were told. I then started to talk to XXXX another employee at Supreme Lending because I became worried. She also said that we were close to closing, she does not see any reason why we would n't be able to, she also spoke with the sellers as well. I have many of text messages and conversations that this was uncalled for, and the outcome was ridiculous. 
We, the sellers and I had been told numerous times that we will be closing next week, but next week never came. This has not only left my family and I homeless, but also have put the sellers into a lot of grief, they also will not be able to close on the home they had built for them. This has been a stressful and devastating situation for both families involved.

Consumer complaint: ( The choices above do not accurately describe this situation, I selected the one that I felt was best. ) Southwest Credit Systems ( SWCS ) has been reporting a collection account on the XXXX main credit bureaus for a XXXX account ( # XXXX XXXX since XXXX/XXXX/2015, in the amount of {$330.00}. SWCS was made aware of the fact that these charges are not accurate and in dispute based on the cramming activity XXXX was engaging in ( Federal Trade Commission v. XXXX XXXX , XXXX ). 

I was not contacted by XXXX, as I have moved from my previous address and never received information from them regarding Federal injunction or class action. I only became aware after reviewing my credit report and researching online. An online page was set-up, by XXXX, to aid in getting information regarding old/closed accounts, but it has since stopped receiving new complaints or allowing for review of old/closed billing information. 

I do not think the balance {$330.00} being reported by XXXX is correct and they refuse to change or cease collecting on this account.

Consumer complaint: I 'm currently in the process of rebuilding my credit and have been combing my reports when I came across a collection for an old Internet account back in 2011. I filed a debt verification letter with the collection agency at the XXXX of this month. I received a response the following day, during which they said the account status had been updated and it was placed in an " investigatory status. " When I checked my credit reports XXXX XXXX, my XXXX report shows this debt meets the guidelines set forth by FCRA. On my XXXX report, it shows the debt as being disputed. First and foremost, I never actually disputed the debt. I simply asked for a verification of the debt. 

I called to speak with the original creditor this morning, giving them the account number listed, my social security number, my name and former address the account was listed under and every other piece of information needed. After spending more than XXXX minutes on the phone with them, I had XXXX separate account receivables professionals tell me there is no record of any account or debt with my listed information in their system at any point. 

That tells me the collection agency simply ignored my debt validation letter or rubber stamped it because the original creditor does n't have anything listed for my account.

Consumer complaint: I need to negotiate my debt to as minimum as possible. I 've try bringing it lower do to my financial hardship. 

Company response: Company disputes the facts presented in the complaint
Consumer complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ), and my wife 's name is XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). We have worked hard and paid our taxes all of our lives. My wife XXXX and I have had a rough time for the past few years, health-wise and financially. We have tried repeatedly to get help for our situation. 

Over 2 years ago, we applied for a program called KEEP YOUR TENNESSEE HOME. We have been on the list until XX/XX/XXXX, when we were told they had run out of money. 

Next we tried the REVERSE MORTGAGE program. Although I am XXXX, we could not use this program as my wife is only XXXX. 

Then we turned to our banker WELLS FARGO for help. We do not make enough money to qualify for their REINSTATEMENT PROGRAM. Since I am recently laid off my job, I then applied for their UNEMPLOYMENT PROGRAM, but we make too much money for that one. 

I have just received a foreclosure notice on our house. I will need to give you some background so you can better understand how we got to our present situation. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, I fell victim to XXXX. I would suffer XXXX XXXX over the next 2 years. XXXX would XXXX me for several days. XXXX would require XXXX. XXXX would hospitalize me and nearly kill me. This left me unable to work and on Social Security XXXX. 

About 30 years ago, XXXX came to a halt at a stop sign, but the car behind her did not. Since that time, she has had over XXXX XXXX, including XXXX XXXX. She has been unable to work since, XX/XX/XXXX. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, we took in a little boy named XXXX XXXX. He was XXXX years old at the time. His parents are XXXX and are XXXX. XXXX is XXXX years old and we are in the process of getting legal custody of him as there is no one else to care for him. 

My wife applied for SOCIAL SECURITY XXXX over 2 years ago and we are now waiting to hear from a federal judge on this matter on XXXX XXXX. If all goes as our lawyer says, my wife should get her XXXX then and possibly 2 years back pay which should be more than enough to clear up our finances. The problem here is it looks like WELLS FARGO, and the foreclosure lawyers are not willing to wait that long. 

Our mortgage holder, Wells Fargo, has just notified us that they are about to begin the foreclosure process on our property. As you can see, we have had a few rough years and desperately need help. Any other advice or help you can give us in this matter would be deeply appreciated. Is there any way that we can get help on this? Please keep us in your prayers. 

Yours Truly, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TN XXXX

Consumer complaint: We have a Bank of America credit card for many years now. Every month I set up the payment to be taken from our checking account ; usually for the full amount due. This month, XXXX 2015, I set the amount to be paid ( {$8700.00} XXXX to come out of our checking account on XXXX XXXX, the due date. It did. The total amount due was {$8700.00}. On XXXX XXXX, they also deducted another {$8700.00} from our checking account. Fortunately, we had just sold our house, so we had money to cover the double payment! I called them on XXXX XXXX and asked them to put the money back. I was told it would take XXXX business days to do so. It finally reached my bank, this morning, XXXX XXXX. We were never given an explanation on how this happened, compensated for the use of our money, which I feel is only fair. If we had not sold our house, this would have put our finances and other payments taken from our checking account in serious jeopardy! My greatest fear is that this might happen again with them. I will be canceling our credit card within the next month. Thank You

Consumer complaint: I was trying to modify my FHA loan, and the lender ( U.S. Bank National Association ) denied me base on " insufficient down payment '' requirement. FHA does not require a down payment, since then they have tried to gain possession of my property. I have a court hearing tomorrow XXXX/XXXX/2015 in XXXX to try to stop this injustice. This has been a great burden on me and my family.

Consumer complaint: The company Green Tree servicing has posted information the all XXXX credit bureaus that is not true or accurate saying that my property is affected by natural or declared disaster. This is not true. Even if it were true it should not be reported on my credit report since it has nothing to do with my credit worthiness. There has not been any natural disasters occurring anywhere near my home. I live at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX on high ground. 
GREEN TREE*XXXX XXXX XXXX -- - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX -- - XXXX AFFECTED BY NATURAL OR DECLARED DISASTER

Consumer complaint: None of the above apply, so please forgive the improper selection. 

My credit score ( I only monitor TransUnion ) dropped nearly XXXX points since last month. The only change in the report is that I paid off more than {$1000.00} in the debt that I owed. No new accounts, no delinquencies, no loss of open credit. Just a lower balance due. 

In essence, by paying down my debt I 've hurt my credit. This is an obvious case of lowering someone 's credit purposefully and without reason to give creditors grounds for higher rates. Please aid me in rectifying this, I 'd rather not have to take it up in a civil suit.

Consumer complaint: I recently contacted Enhanced Recovery Company about a debt I noticed on my credit report. I was never notified of this debt nor given the right to dispute or have the debt verified in writing. The address ERC provided to me was one I do not live at. I requested they restart their recovery efforts by allowing me first a chance to pay the amount due without reporting to a credit bureau. I paid the amount in full and still see the issue on my credit as unpaid. I would like Enhanced Recovery Company to immediately remove this trade line from my credit report with any and all bureaus they have reported to. I feel this is warranted as I was never afforded the opportunity to handle this issue properly.

Consumer complaint: Citi Card posted my account as past due 30 days for a {$40.00} payment which they simultaneously received a payment of {$400.00}. They sent me a letter stating if I had financial issues they can help before my account goes past due and reported to credit reporting agencies. However, while this was happening they had already reported me past due and cost me XXXX points of my XXXX fico score. This is unsound business practice and unsound treatment of customers. {$40.00}!!! Phenomenal large payment history. I just got an auto loan which may have been affected by Citi 's lack of common sense and customer care therefore costing me unknown financial hardship.

Consumer complaint: I tried to apply for a loan online. I was redirected to XXXX to get my credit score. 
It was supposed to have been a {$1.00} charge to receive the credit score and NO additional charge if the trial membership was cancelled. 
When I was unable to get my score, I called the SAME DAY ( XXXX XXXX,2015 ) and cancelled my membership. 
A {$1.00} fee was charged to my account, from both XXXX and Transunion on XXXX XXXX. 
HOWEVER, on XXXX XXXX additional fees of {$29.00} from XXXX and {$17.00} from Transunion were chargedto my account, even though the membership had been CANCELLED a week earlier. 
Since these additional unexpected charges caused an overdraft on my account, I am also being charged {$36.00} PER DAY for overdraft fees. 
XXXX has agreed to eventually refund the original {$29.00} plus {$1.00} fees but not any of the overdraft charges. 
Transunion is REFUSING to issue any kind of refund. 
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Consumer complaint: I have received around {$800.00} in overdraft charges from my bank because I am unable to control Paypal funding sources. Paypal requires that a bank account be linked to the account, and then you also add a credit card for backup funding. I have tried multiple times to modify the priority of withdrawal so that my credit card is the backup source to the paypal balance. Even though I thought I was successful in changing the priority of funds, there were other conditions that I can not easily see or understand causing a draw attempt against my bank. During my most recent calls I tried to have the undesired bank completely removed from the account. The call ended with the phone service rep telling me I could n't do it because there was a pending charge still open ( on XXXX of the overdrafts ) and once that settled I would be able to close. After the charge settled I was still unable to close. I tried over and over, and then stumbled upon a billing agreements section, I also cancelled accounts and made changes, but even those were not effective. Today I called again to complain. The Service Rep to me that charges XXXX go to the balance, then go to bank and then other funding sources. I asked then why is there an option for a backup funding source if Paypal still attempting to withdraw from my bank? I read to her the settings that were applied to XXXX of my billing agreements ( XXXX ) it clearly was set to Balance, then my XXXX CC. She had a XXXX sec silence and could n't respond. This was the tipping point for me, I asked her to cancel my account completely .... she was unable to do this, again stating that because of another open transaction she couldnt do it and that I would need to wait for that to settle. They fooled me on that XXXX in the previous call and it cost me another {$70.00} in fees, so I persisted in requesting that all billing agreements be cancelled. She said she did, and I was online when she said that she performed this, but when I checked, many of the accounts were still active. And again I asked why she could n't simply shut down my account. Frustrated I asked a second time for a supervisor. She placed me on hold and then a few minutes later the call dropped ... I came straight here to provide complaint

Consumer complaint: I was at the end of my lease agreement, and I move and left the apartment in good shape.I also paid a XXXX pet deposit to them for any damage, but there was none and I did n't receive no money back. 

Company response: Company disputes the facts presented in the complaint
Consumer complaint: The story began when the guy a the XXXX dealership in XXXX sold me an extended warranty agreement without discussing any details for a much higher amount than prevalent in the market. This I found out the day after I was practically tricked into buying the warrant. I mean tricked because they did not even inform me that for the first 90 days and XXXX miles of the car are already covered. Now they are giving me credit but without adjusting the sales tax of {$160.00} and although Ally ( Financial Group of XXXX XXXX has sent me the revised repayment document, when the bank that I work with ( XXXX ) approached them for refinancing, they are claiming that their records will not be updated until another 10 days. This is also the date when my first installment is due. I believe the are planning to either charge me penalty for nonpayment or induce me to stay with them for the loan. The whole deal was crooked with the XXXX salesman promising to reimburse me for a second key if they could not find the duplicate and then later backing out saying they did not make enough money on the deal. They should have thought of that when they made the promise. 

I strongly request an urgent review of this matter so that I can proceed with my refinancing and not be liable for any penalty or other charges by Ally. 

I also request a review of the sales collection and refund procedures of Ally so that other innocent customers who do not fully understand these matters are not cheated.
