Consumer complaint: USAA Bank has very poor customer service and a serious lack of communication with their customers. 
I have been unemployed and unable to find a job for almost two years now and surviving on what little income I have, which I have told the bank many many times. They claim they will assist customers who are going through times of hardship, but they do not really care about their customers at all. I had a personal loan with them which they decided to close without even notifying me that I had past due payments. I understand that, and I am paying it so it will be done with, but lack of communication with customers is wrong, very wrong. 
Just when things were being straightened out with them, I received a letter from them stating that they had closed my credit card account, ( which is paid up to date ) because of the consumer loan that they never warned me about. 
Funny thing is I have been emailing with XXXX of the bank executives and he never once mentioned they were closing my credit card account. 
It is so wrong for a bank to treat long time customers, especially ones who have served their country by either being a XXXX for the XXXX. 
USAA Bank claims that they honor and appreciate those who have served their country but if you are going through financial hardship they refuse to do that and work with you, instead they treat you like dirt.

Consumer complaint: I currently have a mortgage with BB & T ( initially XXXX Bank ). The mortgage is on a home I purchased in 2005 for at the time was my Primary residence. We have since converted this to a rental property as the home was no longer able to accommodate our growing family, and we were unable to sell due to market conditions. The mortgage is what would now be considered a predatory loan ( XXXX Interest only 1st 10 years ). In the past month the payment has ballooned as the loan has modified to its amortization stage the payment has increase by more than doubled what is was during its Interest only Phase from {$480.00} per month to over {$1100.00} per month. XX/XX/XXXX anticipating this change I reached out to BB & T to see if they were able to work with us on a refinance or loan modification. We were told we were unable to refinance due to the currently loan to value of approximately 130 %, the loan was not qualified for the HARP program as it is not backed by XXXX or XXXX XXXX ( we are told it is a BB & T/XXXX loan ). In XX/XX/XXXX we proceeded with the Modification/loss mitigation request as we were told this was our only option. After countless hours of works and endless documentation requests over almost 4 months we were told we had been declined for modification to a 30yr fixed program, leaving us only XXXX options keep making a payment we can not afford or let the home go into foreclosure. The reason for decline was that our current rents received cover mortgage payment. What BB & T failed to account for while delivering this decision is that there are Property Taxes, Home Owners Insurance & HOA Fees tied to this property that also require monthly payments. When factoring in these amounts we are at a significant loss.

Consumer complaint: Stearns and Lending refuses to apply my payment when my bank electronically sent them the money. They also refuse to return my calls, hang up on me, do n't reply to my questions via email and will not take the late charge off of my account ( even when an employee with Sterns confirmed my payment on time ) ( See notes attached ). My next payment will either be underpaid or sent back due to me not paying the late charge. My credit score is over XXXX and if it did n't cost to refinance I would. I have had several other mortgages throughout the years and have never experienced anything like this.

Consumer complaint: For over 4 years I have tried to due a loan modification with my lender. When I first applied my loan was with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I proceeded to go back and forth with them for well over a year and was told i was missing paperwork or my paperwork was incomplete. However, XXXX XXXX XXXX could n't tell me what was missing or incomplete. Instead, I had to reapply. This time all just went ignored and eventually my loan was sold. Now I 'm left to reapply yet again with with SPS. I have applied with them XXXX or XXXX times even paying to receive mediation XXXX. The most recent mediation took place in XXXX of 2015. Prior to my mediation I had informed all parties to include, SPS, the mediator and XXXX that my income was reduced by {$1500.00} per month. I was approved for a Tier 1 Harp program but it was at the wrong grossly income. At mediation, all parties did n't seam to think or feel that my income being reduced by {$1500.00} was that big of a deal. I did not sign the agreement and was advised to appeal based on my gross income being incorrect. I was advised at mediation that I had 30 days to submit by appeal. However, a letter that I received stating that I was approved for program was received 2 weeks prior to my mediation date and the bank is denying my appeal stating that I had 30 days to appeal based on the letter not the mediation. I had no idea of the terms of the agreement until I attended the mediation. This has all been rather confusing and I have complied with everything multiple times and have provided all requested and necessary documents to the lender. I received an email that they were denying the request to correct my income. I have provided them with current bank statements as well as current pay stubs in addition, I also provided bank statements from my estranged husband showing that he was paying and had been paying on the house that we where on a loan together. I have mailed letters and followed up with XXXX as well as sent all parties an email asking for yet another application to reapply since that is what they where wanting me to do since they would except and or allow the changes to my pay. This is a frustrating for all this could have been resolved 4 years ago. But then again this has allowed the bank to charge all these outrages fee 's to to my loan. Let al the bank loan payments, late fee 's, mailing fee 's ( which in access they will send XXXX of the same letter everytime ). I feel as I have been giving the run around and now I received a letter stating the foreclosure sale date to be XXXX XXXX, 2015. The bank as yet to respond to my requests has brought me here. 

Regarding a question below, I did n't pay an outsidecompany for assistance but paid XXXX $ XXXX XXXX seperate times to receive mediation.

Consumer complaint: Back in XXXX this year, I scheduled a payment with Citi Card Online banking and on the due date my payment was not taken out by the system and all of a sudden I am immersed in credit card debt, with over the limit fees and interest over the balance and I am not willing to pay. They are ruining my credit. I have another credit card with them in good standing and before this system glitch, I was paying these credit cards. The only other time I had fallen behind payments, was for the same reason, but Citi Card will tell you there 's nothing wrong with their system. But the reality is you ca n't schedule payments to be taken with two weeks in advance, because the system wo n't work. They are ruining my credit and I do n't know what else to do. XXXX, you are my only hope. I have no money to hire a lawyer or take legal action.They are denying this to their teeth without conducting an investigation and checking their own online system.

Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, USAA FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK, wrote to exercise its option to close Checking Account XXXX registered in the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX . USAA had changed my ownership registration of the account in XXXX XXXX for the vague reason that I did not qualify as the registered owner of a USAA account. They printed new checks showing the new registration. However their letter was addressed to me, not XXXX XXXX ( see attached ). 

Neither XXXX XXXX nor I owed USAA money. We were not insured by USAA Our Credit Cards had a zero balance and continued in good standing. On closing the account, USAA confiscated the funds in XXXX XXXX 's accounts which had a combined balance over {$900.00}, citing their Deposit Agreement as authority to close accounts and offset funds on deposit. There was nothing to offset. Where did the money go? 

Phone calls to USAA for an explanation for confiscation of XXXX XXXX 's funds were met with obfuscation and prevarication : in XXXX call I was told that XXXX XXXX 's account was closed because of an issue with their Property and Casualty Department. When XXXX XXXX called for clarification, she was told the bank accounts were closed by the Credit Card Division. To avoid misunderstandings, it became clear we had to avoid telephoning USAA and instead document our contacts and their response using XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX letters as a legal necessity. 

I sent a XXXX letter to USAAXXXX on XXXX XXXX and a Certified follow-up on XXXX XXXX pointing out that the accounts were registered to XXXX XXXX not me. XXXX/USAA did not reply. 

To get a USAA response, XXXX XXXX was obliged to file a complaint ( Case XXXX ) about USAA with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Via the CFPB, USAA replied : " XXXX checks, {$160.00} and {$800.00}, made payable you and to XXXX XXXX had been mailed on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. '' XXXX XXXX challenged USAA 's infallibility and asked for proof/substantiation that a check had in fact been issued and mailed ; had it been cashed? A copy of her response was also directly XXXX XXXX to USAA. USAA received the letter but did not did not reply. 

It appears that USAA kept the {$900.00} + without explanation, asking us to believe that " the check is in the mail. '' Equally troubling, USAA deleted the checking and savings accounts from their web site. 

USAA has had at least 8 months to research their response : Where is the money?

Consumer complaint: I am putting a second complaint on Citibank because they sent a response in the last complaint stating they updated the social on my account and re reported the account with my new social to wait 30-45 days for the credit bureau to update the information and I have waited close to 60 days and nothing has been updated this is a perfect example of what I have been going through with them for the last 5 months. I need this account to be re reported with the accurate social I spoke to the credit bureaus and they told me there has not been a reporting from them since 2010

Consumer complaint: There was confusion on why a collection agency reporting to my credit report that I had an account in default as I had no knowledge of any account of the sort and the location of the collection agency was in a state that seemed like it was not related to me either. Anyhow I opened an inspection into the collection agency through the cfpb which allowed for the collection agency to look further into my case and they found that I had indeed not been notified by the hospital of what was a special deductible/co-pay for a XXXX. I did n't realize that this deductible was separate from my normal medical deductible which had already been covered for the year from a separate XXXX. As a result of this reinvestigation on the Collection Agency 's Part explained to me what the charges were and why I had not been informed about them. They also offered me a " one-time special offer, '' as they put it, this offer as they explained would remove any mention of the account going to the collection agency from my credit files and it would resolve in full all claims by the hospital in question. They said that they would be willing to discount the amount that I would need to pay by XXXX %. I took them up on their offer and their word that it would not appear on my credit report. It now appears on my credit report as settled legally for less than the full amount and it has it under the collection agency 's name as the creditor claiming this fact.

Consumer complaint: Macy 's store credit card : I was 11 days late on a payment in 2014, since then I have been making payments to Macy 's. However they have been reporting to the credit bureau that it has not been paid since then. I have proof through bank transactions, disputed through the credit bureau and Macy 's has not removed the erroneous late and no payments. In addition, they charged off my credit card while I was making payments, which also negatively impacts my credit. Because of an XXXX day late payment my credit is damaged for the next XXXX years. I believe it is unethical and should be illegal for Macy 's to continue to fraudulently submit information to the credit bureaus and not be held accountable. In addition, prior to the XXXX day late payment I called Macy 's stating why I was going to be late and asked for a payment plan and they said their company provides not payment plans or assistance if when someone loses their job.

Consumer complaint: I am responding to a letter I received from Experian regarding a suspicious request made on my credit file. Based on my understanding of the letter, it looks like Experian is refusing to complete my request because they believe the letter I wrote them was not sent by me. 
I would like Experian to know that I did in-fact send them a letter disputing information on my credit report. I also give Experian my expressed and written consent to continue with the investigation of my accounts per the dispute letter I wrote to them. 
Since I have not experienced this situation before, I would very much appreciate Experian providing me with an explanation of my rights specifically pertaining to how I am allowed to dispute information on my credit report. 
I would also like to know specifically what made my letter " suspicious '' and why Experian thinks I did not write my letter to them. Did I say something in my letter that they think I am not smart enough to write myself? 
I have reviewed Experian 's website to determine what steps I am required to take to dispute my accounts and thought I had followed all instructions : I sent in a copy of my ID, proof of my social security number and proof of my address. I would be very grateful for a step by step explanation from Experian detailing the specific information I may have missed from their website. 
I would like Experian to let me know if I am allowed to re-write my letter, and if so, would Experian be so kind as to provide me with an example of a letter that would be acceptable to them? 
I am just a regular person and do not have the money to be represented by an attorney or any other agency. I work all day and can not afford to take time off work to dispute my accounts. So I would like Experian to tell me if completing a dispute over the phone would provide me with the same outcome as a letter? And if the results would be the same, why is Experian choosing to not accept my letter and my humble request for an investigation of my accounts?

Consumer complaint: I filed a dispute online with Experian regarding the information being reported by XXXX. I disputed the high limit amount which is incorrect along with the number of late payments. The date of XXXX delinquency was XX/XX/XXXX. I received notice that the investigation was complete and the account was updated with " disputed meets FCRA ''. I did not receive any proof. Experian also changed updated this item and changed the date it would be removed to XX/XX/XXXX. They have added 3 years to this date. A dispute does not change the date of first delinquency and this re-aging of this debt is illegal.
