Complaint:
Hello I opened a Citi AAdvantage XXXX  card, which proeminently featured " no annual fee '' in multiple places ( on the website, marketing material and even the disclosures, evidence attached ) However, the credit card I received, while similar in color and in name, came with different conditions. The most glaring difference is the disclosure : the website said " Annual fee : None '' while the paper disclosure I received said " Annual fee : {$99.00}. However, the annual fee is waived for the first XXXX month ''. 

I never agreed to that. 

As the advertisement did not clearly and conspicuously state this membership or participation fee that could be imposed, I consider this a direct violation of 1026.16 ( b ) ( 1 ) ( iii )

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: TX
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I've been with Select Portfolio Servicing for over 10 years and have carried an escrow account with them. They have continued to miscalculate/ forecast my necessary amount to pay for taxes and insurance despite this longevity. Typically year after year they have notified me of a shortage due to this poor ability to forecast on their part and have me pay catch up payments over 24 months. This year they have once again miscalculated my estimated escrow and instead of having me pay catch up payments over 24 months, have a new policy that I must pay these over 12 months. This has increased my payment over 15 % ( {$340.00} a month ) which is something I can't afford given the current environment with inflation. Please investigate this companies escrow practices to find ways to improve this so others aren't harmed as I have been.

Complaint:
BRIDGE CREST is not under any LAW required to report any of my private consumer transactional information. BRIDGE CREST HAS THE OPTION TO REPORT MY INFORMATION TO THE CREDIT REPORTING AGENCIES which is why the consumer has the RIGHT to demand financial institutions to withdraw their reporting under 12 CFR and the FCRA. I have placed BRIDGE CREST on PROPER NOTICE on XX/XX/XXXX that I under 12 CFR 1022.24 and 15 USC 1681b permissible purpose request that BRIDGE CREST CEASE ALL REPORTING OF MY CONSUMER TRANSACTIONAL INFORMATION TO ALL REPORTING AGENCIES and was given XXXX days to comply and perform their fiduciary duties accordingly. As of today XX/XX/23 BRIDGE CREST has received my Notice and have willfully continued to report my consumer transactional information against my request, against my RIGHT, against CFPB regulations under 12 CFR and against the FCRA. BRIDGE CREST appears to be acting on its own accord with a total disregard to the LAWs it is obligated to perform under. BRIDGE CREST is in willful noncompliance!

Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint:
Im a divorcee, worked 1 and 2 jobs most of my life and raised XXXX sons ( now grown ) on my own and never made excuses. 
Ive always taken personal responsibility for my poor credit, but when I retired in 2012, I filed for a Chapter XXXX and yet paid my bills and managed to pay off {$40000.00} in a 6 year period. 
My sons were now grown and my income had improved, so I worked on improving my credit. 
Ive monitored my credit for 6-7 years and its slowly improved. However, the Bankruptcy recently fell off my credit, and now after 6-7 years my credit score dropped 53 points.

In 6-7 years, Ive paid my bills on time and most often paid them early.

Now Im being told that because of algorithm used by XXXX, its impacted my credit score negatively. 
There is something very wrong with this. I understand that XXXX and Equifax are separate companies, but with Equifax my score fell for the same reason 8 points. 
Its like XXXX is working against me and others. There is something very wrong with this picture. 
XXXX uses terms like algorithm as an excuse. I am asking that you look at my credit report situation and correct my credit report. I am XXXX years old now..through an emergency situation that recently arose, I was made aware that I need a new roof on part of my house. I was looking forward to getting a positive credit score so that I could arrange for financing at a decent interest rate. XXXX has caused me great harm. I am very upset.please advise.
