Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: SC
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
According to the cfpb website, I have been eligible for PMI termination for quite some time. I called Specialized Loan Servicing and inquired about this and was told by the first representative that I had to have 80 % equity before I could drop my PMI. After researching your site, I called back and got another representative and was told that the aforementioned representative was incorrect and it was actually that my principal needed to be 80 % of the original value ( in other words I had to have 20 % equity ). I asked how much equity I currently had and was told almost 50 %. I explained to the representative that if that is true, SLS should have cancelled my PMI years ago. I was told a request to look into this matter would be sent in and someone would call me back within 10 business days. It has been more than 10 business days and I have not heard anything from anyone.

Company: Chime Financial Inc
State: PA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Complaint:
I used my bank 's check mailing service to pay three creditors. They were supposed to be sent on XX/XX/2021. I allowed ample time for the checks to be received on time. The money in the amount of {$1100.00} was withdrawn from my checking account and I was informed that the checks were mailed. After about XXXX weeks, I noticed that none of the checks cleared as they should have. Shortly after, I was assessed a late fee by each of the creditors. I was charged fees in the amount of {$38.00}, a XXXX processing fee, plus there is a stigma with paying bills late. 

I was informed by Chime that all that can be done is they can cancel the checks and credit the money back to my account. They offered to send them again, but I lost my confidence by this point and declined. I was offered a flippant apology for the " inconvenience ''. To a working class person like myself, having {$1100.00} tied up for a total of three weeks and approximately {$40.00} in late fees, is a big inconvenience.

I tried opening a Venmo account ( for my friends birthday - as advised by my friends )- and I filled in information - including my credit card information.

Now Im worried that I gave my credit card information to this company- which I think might be fraudulent. How stupid was I? 

Please advise.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Lease
Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Billing problem

Complaint:
In mid XX/XX/XXXX I extended the lease on my XXXX XXXX XXXX with XXXX XXXX. From the first billing Cycle chase began to have a on-boarding issue with payments on my account where I made payments and the payments would be applied to the previous month and create a credit for the month prior and delinquency for current cycle. I was unaware of this issue until mid XX/XX/XXXX when I applied for a mortgage. The lender ran my credit and brought to my attention that chase has been reporting me late to the credit bureaus and I would not qualify on that basis for my loan. I called chase to resolve the matter. I discussed with them at length the issue and it repercussions for myself and my family and I was told that they will not remove the late payments and delinquency from my reporting because it is out of there capacity to do so. I proceeded to hire a specialist to dispute this on my behalf to correct this error so I can Recover and move on with my life. On XX/XX/XXXX I called chase again and asked what it would take for them to show my account as current and in good standing to which they replied I must make a payment of {$1000.00} which I did. My Billing cycle for this account ends on the XX/XX/XXXX of every month. In order to insure myself against future on boarding Issues that may occur with this account I requested a letter of good standing that the account is current and the next payment is due on the XX/XX/XXXX. I went about making my XXXX and XXXX payments for this account on time. In early XXXX I began looking into a new car for lease and Opted for a newer model of the XXXX XXXX XXXX I had. When I began the process It was brought to my attention again that chase had again inaccurately and erroneously reported me late yet again. When I called chase they said I am not late and have no late payments so I asked why Am i being reported late for XX/XX/XXXX they said they don't know why I asked them to correct this and they refused. I have exhausted all means by which to approach this and remedy this with chase and I am in dire need of intervention to correct this and allow me to pick up the pieces from the damages that has come from this situation

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX mark my account current on my report for XX/XX/XXXX and once I made my XXXX payment they lodged or went back and changed an on time payment to 30 day late but make my XXXX Payment on time. I reach out to each to each credit bureau with my dispute and the company verified this lateness as accurate. 
The company never once reach out to me via phone or mail stating my account was late now in jeopardy of being late. I contact this credit card services before any lateness was ever entered and informed them I am not being informed of any mail or alerts regarding my account. The representative stated that my account was caught and there was no lateness involved with my account. I have proof of this with my statements and I submitted these statements as evidence to the reporting agencies in questions only to be told the card provider states that what they report is accurate when evidence was provided. The credit reporting agency mark it current for the month of XX/XX/XXXX but in XX/XX/XXXX the card provider when back and changed a current payment into a 30 day lateness. They have violated the FCRA and the credit reporting agency was just as guilty when they removed an on time payment two months later to reflect a previous payment on time to a 30 day lateness.
