Complaint:
Vanderbilt has been the worst mortgage company by far that I have ever worked with. They have given me nothing but problems and false reporting throughout the entire relationship. I am so glad that they sold the load to XXXX. 

Back in the XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX time frame that had a totally random faulty reporting of late or missed payment on my credit report. When I saw it ( only because I was closing on another property and the lending company saw it ) I called Vanderbilt and they sent the attached letter apologizing for their mistake and promising to remove it. As you can see from my current report.. .they NEVER actually removed it. A late payment from spring of XXXX is STILL on my credit report. 

In XXXX there was a hurricane in XXXX Florida which is where this property is located. Vanderbilt mortgage pro-actively reached out to me to suggest a disaster relief plan that would have me defer three months payments. They told me to skip three months payments and then on the 4th month they gave me a new amount that I would be required to pay for 6 months. ( this amount represented my normal monthly amount plus an additional amount to make up for the three months by spreading it out over 6 months ). I did everything that Vanderbilt told me to do. I skipped the three payments and I set up by automatic bill pay with the bank to pay a higher amount for 6 months and then resume with my normal monthly payments. 

I was never any days late. 

I heard that sometimes when they set up deferred payment deals that they plan on marking you as 30 days late, even though in my conversations with them before agreeing to do this.. They assured me that there would be NO negative reporting on my credit report. 

They did report me as late.. .however, I never missed nor was late on any payments with Vanderbilt mortgage. 

Very predatory lending practices by Vanderbilt. I hope to never have to do business with them again. 

Their predatory practices prevented me from closing on a new home which was to be my first home owned primary residence since XXXX. 

Please help. Thank you so much.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I placed a call to XXXX XXXX credit card customer service requesting to change my address on file to other address. Being that I had XXXX and currently is hospitalized. My address change request was to assure bills were received to a family member. The family member would bring bills to hospital so they can be paid. However, I never received a bill so I would log on trying to remember what day the bill was due since I got no bill sent to my family members house. Today XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed I still have not received a bill again. So I log on to pay the bill. I called customer service explaining Ive called previously on XX/XX/XXXX to change address. At this time I was advised it was not changed so the representative proceeded to update the address. I asked for late fee to be waived being that I never got the bill. I was advised nothing can be done because there is no record of my calling. However, I know for a fact that I called in and spoke with someone who was sympathetic about my XXXX and even said she knew someone who had the same XXXX. I asked to speak with a supervisor today. She pretty much called me a lier saying I did not call from my phone number and record of me calling. As I stated to her just because your company does not show I didnt call from my cell phone doesnt mean I didnt call. Its not my fault as a customer your representative did not do their job. 

I asked to speak with a XXXX. I spoke with someone named XXXX. I explained the situation to him all over again. I also explained to him that as a company you have an obligation to ensure you are sending your customers bills in order for them to be able to pay the bill. However, the practices that are being used are unethical. I asked him that I would file a complaint with the consumer finance protection bureau based on the situation and how I am being treated. 

I asked XXXX if I could speak with another XXXX. XXXX placed me on hold and came back stating the other XXXX said XXXX. However, I asked to speak with the XXXX ; I did not ask XXXX to relay messages back in forth. During the conversation, XXXX then start to cut me off while I was speaking instead of listening to what I was saying. Its sad and unbelievable that customers get treated like this when they have a medical issue that requires immediate attention. This is not how you treat your customers. I will be telling all my friends, family, people on social media about my situation today

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021, I did purchase a product computer for the amount of {$79.00} after the transaction got effect bill come to {$110.00}. I claim the extra payment that got charged to my credit card but it was denied by Paypal on XX/XX/2021. 
Also, I claim that the package I have never received Paypal provide to me the tracking number XXXX and that confirm the package was delivered by the Postal office but not to my address and not under my name because the tracking number provided by the Customer/Paypal does not belong to my address and no to my name.

I asked Paypal and my Syncrohnic bank credit card to refund my money and they refuse to do so.

I have stress, a headache, I get sick and I lose days and hours of work trying to solve this problem also the customer service in both banks treated me badly without compassion, respect, and education. the attitude of the customer service people and the lack of consumer protection forced me to close my account. The abuse of this bank and that of Paypal was more there when I closed my bank account they took away the money that I had earned by making purchases on XXXX. It is not fair that honest and credible people go through abusive actions of this institution such as Paypal. Paypal their service is lousy and their customer service workers are rude, the claims and disputes staff are not interested in solving customer problems. That is why I ask for the full weight of the law and a civil reparation for being the intermediary of scams and fraud to clients.

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

Complaint:
Equifax has purportedly resolved my investigation without responding to my complaint on CFPB. It is expected that they will soon indicate the complaint as resolved and it will subsequently be closed. However, I want to emphasize that Equifax 's involvement in this matter is far from over. Equifax erroneously categorizes my bankruptcy as a XX/XX/XXXXXXXX, a classification applicable to family farmers required to partially repay their debts. I have never engaged in farming and have no obligation to make any repayments. This appears to be an intentional attempt by Equifax to evade accountability for their error which appears to be more intentional than error at this point. 

Despite myXX/XX/XXXX bankruptcy being public record and duly acknowledged by Equifax, it took three investigations for them to rectify my credit report. XXXX XXXX was duly notified by the court of my impending and final discharge. I also wrote to them several times via email, explicitly requesting an end to their phone-based harassment and reiterating details of my bankruptcy. Both XXXX XXXX and Equifax were aware that the debt was invalid, both were aware of the finalized discharge. Nevertheless, it took three investigations for Equifax to partially rectify the situation. 

Presently, I see that XXXX XXXX is labeled as a " closed account '' on my Equifax my credit report ( no other credit reporting agencies have had this problem. ) However, Equifax has appended a comment implying that this discrepancy was somehow my doing, when in reality, it stemmed from the failure of XXXX XXXX and Equifax to comply with legal procedures. This is particularly galling as it adversely affects my Equifax score, inaccurately suggesting that I bear responsibility for the situation, rather than XXXX XXXX and Equifax who failed to adhere to legal requirements. 

I am unwilling to initiate a fourth dispute. Instead, ***I wish to inform Equifax that I have initiated a lawsuit against them in small claims court. *** This action is taken to seek redress for the time spent, the harm caused to my credit report, the missed financial opportunities, and the emotional distress inflicted upon me. It is aburd for Equifax to offer admonishments or guidance on proper procedures for future incidents when it was their own professional incompetence that necessitated three investigations to address this matter and they still have failed to get it right.
