Company: Big Picture Loans, LLC
State: OR
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Payday loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect

Complaint:
I received a {$1000.00} loan from big picture loans on XX/XX/XXXX. I read the terms and conditions and the interest rate was 500 %. No where did it state that this was owned by a XXXX. They said I would have to pay {$230.00} PER MONTH. I agreed because I wanted to pay it off the next month. I received and email saying they were going to debit my account again on XX/XX/XXXX after they already had on XX/XX/XXXX. The terms I received specifically states once per month. Not every two weeks. When I call its either no answer or its a round about with them. I cant get ahold of them to pay it off. I am being scammed and this is a huge fraud company. I now have to close my account because all they are doing is continuing to charge me interest and will not let me pay it off in full.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I am writing to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding false information that has been reported on my credit report by one or more of the credit bureaus. The false information that has been reported has significantly impacted my credit score and has caused me financial harm. 

Specifically, I have identified false information on my credit report that has resulted from identity theft. From my understanding of the law, credit reporting agencies are required to block the reporting of any information that results from an alleged identity theft, except as otherwise provided in the law. However, despite my repeated attempts to dispute and correct this information with the credit bureaus, they have failed to do so. 

I have followed all proper procedures to dispute and correct the information, but the credit bureaus have been unresponsive and have not taken any action to correct the false information on my credit report. As a result, I have suffered significant harm to my credit score, which has impacted my ability to obtain credit, housing, and employment opportunities.

Complaint:
In early 2019 I was a victim of ongoing identity theft in which unknown individuals or individual obtained my personal information and my bank information. With this information they obtained multiple online personal loans and took the funds from my bank account as well. Each time I resolve the issue with one " Debt Purchaser '' they sell the debt to another party. This has been ongoing through disputes since 2019 and I am now taking legal action as well against the original lender and the collection/Debt Purchaser that now owns the debt in an effort to have the debt quit being sold to the next buyer after I prove its not my debt.

Company: CrossCountry Mortgage LLC

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I contacted the bank on XX/XX/XXXX about escrow shortage. I wanted to pay the shortage in full. I was quoted an amount. I paid said amount. I was quoted a new payment and a start date. I logged back on XX/XX/XXXX to verify. I was informed that I was quoted the wrong amount of shortage and that I owed more. I paid that shortage and was assured new payment would be processed. I asked for management to reach out to me. They did through secure message, not a phone call. I got a message stating everything was cleared up. Shortage was paid in full and new payment was recorded. Received phone call on XX/XX/XXXX saying Im behind on payment. Customer service on phone was rude! I asked for manager. I was transferred. I was told they could not see any messages and that I must make prompt payment on phone to avoid collections. The payment they wanted was for shortage to escrow. I denied to pay because of proof I have in chats. Customer service manager stated there was nothing she could see or do. This sounds like a fraud claim to get more money into an escrow account that they can use and sit on interest free. I have screenshots of messages to prove conversations had. There is fraud practices going on inside bank institutions.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
I have a credit card from Capital One ( Last digits of card is XXXX ) - I payed off the credit card with a balance of {$3000.00}. My due date is on the XXXX of every month. Usually I am only able to pay {$100.00} or {$200.00} towards the balance which causes Capital one to charge me interest because the old balance rolls over into the new month. However, I payed off the entire {$3000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, four days before the XXXX due date. On the morning of XX/XX/XXXX I noticed that there was a new charge in the amount of {$43.00} from Capital One on my credit card statement. When I called the rep he told me that Capital One charges me interest everyday regardless of if the balance on the card is paid - not only is this new information from what I have been told by Capital One reps but this practice should be illegal. I asked to speak with a supervisor and informed them I will be recording their call- the Supervisor hung up on me because I said I would not stop recording. Please assist and rid consumers of this evil. If you need to contact me I can be reached at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Thank you.

Complaint:
I have 9 accts that were included in my Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy discharged in XX/XX/2019 that continue to report neg information on my credit report and they are still affecting my ability to get new credit or my current credit! Late payments & neg information is still visible to anyone that pulls my credit when I am applying for new credit. Per bankruptcy laws these accts are to clear all neg info and just report a closed acct included in bankruptcy, but these accts still are! I have disputed these items several times & they still continue to report this neg information. The credit bureaus & the individual companies refuse to correct or remove these neg accts. Pls help me to get these items removed from my credit reports as I have had no luck disputing them myself. I know this is a violation of the Bankruptcy laws & these companies need to be called out on this kind of violation. I can provide proof of this affecting me in a neg way. The bankruptcy will affect me for 7-10 yrs but the law but the accts are to no longer affect my credit. This is a direct violation of this law and now all of these items need to be removed per the law. Pls help enforce this action.
