State: LA
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in an XXXX & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
Initial dispute of Equifax started since XX/XX/XXXX. Dispute sent to your company XX/XX/XXXX. Equifax response was no information found, but somehow I could still pull a report with all the inaccurate information. Second they responded by saying, send in identification documents. This has been done. They responded to your company needing an additional 60 days, then needing until XX/XX/XXXX with a resolution. None of this has happened. They continue to report inaccurate information, use stall tactics. I did resend all the information but its clear, this should have been resolved.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Complaint:
Dear Sir/Madam This is to file a complaint to Citi with regards to my sign-up bonus for Citi Prestige credit card account. The Prestige card is associated with XXXX TYPs after spending XXXX $ within 3 months. I opened my account on XX/XX/XXXX, and continued to use the card for everything I need to meet the requirement for obtaining the sign-up points. I didnt receive the points as expected after I spent over 8000 $ last month. I contacted and chatted with the Citi staff and was told my Prestige card is not associated with a sign-up bonus program, because I closed one Citi credit card one year ago. This is not the exact truth. 
1 ), I never closed any Citi credit card. One of my Citi Divident card was closed by the Citi Company, not by myself. I even called to check what happened because that Divident Citi card is the longest card I owned since XX/XX/XXXX. I want to keep that credit card for ever! 
2 ), The Citi Prestige card has {$450.00} annual fee, while the Citi Divident card has no annual fee. The provision clearly stated the eligibility for the XXXX point sign-up bonus for the Prestige for not closing Citi Prestige, Citi Premier and Citi Preferred cards in last 24 months. There is no word to mention Citi Divident card. 
3 ), Mostly importantly, my application was approved by phone ( not by online application ). I talked with the staff who handled my application, and was told Im no problem to get the sign-up offer after I spent XXXX $ within three months. 

I trusted Citi company as I have been its customer for over 12 years, but what happened to me seems a " trap ''. I chatted with the Citi representative via phone, and the staff only offered me XXXX points for courtesy ; that is not what I want. Without sign-up bonus program, I mostly wo n't apply for this card associated with XXXX $ annual fee, even I need one due to too much travels these recent years. This is my first time to file the complaint. What I need is a fair treatment. This happened but 1 ) it 's the Citi, not myself, who closed my other account without my permission ; 2 ) wrong or unclear advertisement without showing the type of the card involved ; 3 ) customer confirmation already via phone for the sign-up bonus when applying for the card. As a customer, I feel so wrongly treated, so I filed with an expectation to get more attentions for my case, and I need get back my XXXX sign-up points as advertised, before I will keep stay with the Citi in future. 

With best regards ~ XXXX

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
After my first husband passed, I paid off XXXX with Bank of America in XXXX and requested the account be closed. XXXX years later, in XXXX of XXXX, I received a letter from BOA suggesting I owed for lender insurance that they purchased without my knowledge, notification, or consent, to cover my XXXX balance HELOC because they could not seem to verify that I had insurance on my home. I have spent over XXXX hours on the phone with XXXX different departments giving them either policy information or phone numbers for our agent to verify insurance coverage on my home. They are now suggesting that I owe $ XXXX before closing out my paid-off HELOC that I instructed BOA to close back in XXXX ( in person at a local branch ). This is clearly deceptive trade practices, and BOA is NOT doing its job on account administration. I am asking that this practice be looked into and stopped to protect other consumers.

Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
I recently reviewed my credit report from XXXX, XXXX XXXX. Unfortunately, I saw that you have recently began to report me 30 days late on this account on XX/XX/2022. I have previous credit reports from the above mentioned agencies that reflect my account accurately, as paid on time. I never received notice that you were going to insert negative data on my credit report, as you are required by the FCRA I contacted JEFFERSON CAPITAL regarding this debit and that I don't owe this and had a very default time..

FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 7 ) Negative Information ( A ) Notice to Consumer Required ( i ) In general. If any financial institution that extends credit and regularly and in the ordinary course of business furnishes information to a consumer reporting agency described in section 603 ( p ) furnishes negative information to such an agency regarding credit extended to a consumer, the financial institution shall provide a notice of such furnishing of negative information, in writing, to the consumer.

( ii ) Notice effective for subsequent submissions. After providing such notice, the financial institution may submit additional negative information to a consumer reporting agency described in section 603 ( p ) with respect to the same transaction, extension of credit, account, or customer without providing additional notice to the customer.

( B ) Time of Notice ( i ) In general. The notice required under subparagraph ( A ) shall be provided to the customer prior to, or no later than 30 days after, furnishing the negative information to a consumer reporting agency described in section 603 ( p ).

( ii ) Coordination with new account disclosures. If the notice is provided to the customer prior to furnishing the negative information to a consumer reporting agency, the notice may not be included in the initial disclosures provided under section 127 ( a ) of the truth in Lending Act.

Reporting inaccurate information is also a violation of the FCRA.

I first contacted the above mentioned consumer reporting agency about the mistake. They sent me a letter stating you verified the information. How is this possible? I would like you to actually look into my account history this time and not just send an automated verified response! After doing so you will see that I was not 30 days late on XX/XX/2022, The FCRA allows for damages of {$1000.00} per violation. So far you have violated my rights three times Twice by never notifying me and once for reporting inaccurate information. I could surely use the {$30000.00} bucks since the interest rates on my other credit cards raised due to you error, not to mention the priceless cost of my time writing these letters.

Complaint:
I have Traditional and Roth retirement accounts at Synchrony Bank. On XX/XX/XXXX I put in motion moving the funds to XXXX XXXX XXXX because the rate they offered was almost double. I filled out all the necessary transaction paperwork on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX mailed the transfer paperwork to Synchrony Bank. After 3 weeks I called and Synchrony said they didn't receive the paper work. I then had XXXX XXXX fax the documents in mid XXXX, they only faxed the traditional docs and I had to followup on XX/XX/XXXX where they faxed the Roth docs to Synchrony. I called today XX/XX/XXXX and Synchrony said they are working on it in their " back '' office where you can't speak to anyone. They also maintain that it takes up to 15 business days to process the requests. I'm already 5 weeks into this and it looks like several more. Am I missing something here???? What if I needed the funds? I've spent hours on hold with no resolution and it seems to just go on and on.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: MO
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage
Sub-issue: Delays in the application process

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX - I requested loan assumption be initiated by Freedom Mortgage with documented/signed third party authorization and buyer information of my home that I have financed with Freedom Mortgage. Representative claimed they would call the buyer ( person assuming my VA loan ) within one week. 

As of XX/XX/XXXX, buyer has yet to be contacted. After 5 attempts ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ) to contact a live representative ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) within the loan assumption department since XX/XX/XXXX, neither my buyer, nor myself have been able to reach a human being. XXXX 's voicemail promises a callback within " 24-48 hours ''. Still no returned call. 

When I did speak with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, she mentioned that the process would take 60-90 BUSINESS DAYS to complete. 

As a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I can attest that this process is not hard. It would take a processor 1 week to verify employment and assets. It would take an underwriter one DAY to review all documentation to make a decision. Inspections are not required. Appraisal is not required. It's a basic credit underwrite. They claim that they have heavy call volume. Maybe they should HIRE??? 

This appears to be an intentional delay that is specific to discriminating against Veterans who are trying to sell their homes via VA loan assumption.
