State: NJ
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
The credit bureaus keep disrespecting the laws. I showed them multiple times of how they are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 
According to 15 use 1681 ( 5 ) The credit bureaus said everything was complete and accurate and I asked them how if the open date is wrong.

Then I ask them to provide me description of the investigation according to 15 USC 1681 ( 7 ) and they never did. I have proof of my letter for that.

Also according to 15 USC 1681 s-2 A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

This is violation after violation after violation. This is causing me stress because I have no hope with this system

Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
I have two credit cards with Amex : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Amex Gold Card for American Express Gold Card, there is no foreign transaction fee and I have to pay annual fee of {$250.00}. I had an oversea trip scheduled from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. Unfortunately, I lost my gold card 2 weeks before my trip and I called Amex to send me a new card, I asked them since I am traveling overseas, I need my gold card to be delivered before my departure ( XX/XX/XXXX ). My card shipped on XX/XX/XXXX and got delivered to my place on XX/XX/XXXX, 4 days after my departure. The only option I had was to use my XXXX XXXX XXXX while I was away. When I came back I noticed that I got charged for a couple XXXX dollars on my blue cash everyday card for the purchases I made overseas. Also, the Gold Card that got delivered on XX/XX/XXXX, got stolen bc of improper delivery and I had a charge of {$2000.00} which wasnt not mine. Amex recognized the fraud and emailed me a new gold card in less than 48 hrs. I called them and asked them if the overnight delivery was an option why did not apply to my XXXX replacement? and since it was not my mistake, they should either refund me for the foreign fees or give me rewards point on my cards. They rejected my requests which is a significant hardship on me bc of Amex mistake. I want to get the fees back and report this issue to you. Thanks.

Company: AmeriHome Mortgage Company, LLC
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a mortgage loan in the amount of XXXX, from AmeriHome. I immediately began to aggressively pay off the loan. On XX/XX/XXXX, I only owed a total remaining balance of {$2700.00} ( at that date ). I paid that amount and it was applied to my loan. The remaining interest was calculated on XX/XX/XXXX. It was calculated to be {$27.00}. I immediately paid that amount and it was momentarily applied to my loan, showing a XXXX balance. The next day the remaining balance was back to {$27.00} and the website indicated a payment was received in the amount of {$27.00}. The following day the balance was still {$27.00} but it now indicated that no payments had been received on the loan. 

I contacted AmeriHome numerous times on the phone and on their internal website email ( well over a dozen times ). I contacted numerous agents and no one could tell me why my loan was not fully satisfied. 

Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I again spoke to an AmeriHome agent who indicated that the {$27.00} was being held by them in suspense. She related that AmeriHome did that because if they applied the {$27.00} to my loan, my loan would have a XXXX balance. She demanded that I send them an additional {$170.00} so that they could apply the {$27.00} to my loan. 

The agent stated that they needed the additional funds ( {$170.00} ) as a recording fee. She also stated that on XX/XX/XXXX, I would be required to pay the full normal payment of {$1500.00}, regardless of the fact that I do not owe them any further monies on the account. 

I immediately sent AmeriHome the {$170.00} in duress and against my will. I believe that AmeriHome has no intention of showing I paid off the loan and they are committing fraud to extort money not due to them.
