Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
I am emotionally frustrated and disappointed to lodge this formal complaint against the credit reporting agency. Despite my numerous disputes dated [ INSERT THE DATE OF DISPUTES ], XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX have callously disregarded my previous requests. Their failure to uphold reasonable procedures to ensure the utmost accuracy, as mandated by 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), in the credit reports they publish is deeply disheartening. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681i, it is clearly stated that XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax are obliged to conclude the investigation within 30 days from the date they received my dispute and provide a response. However, to my immense frustration, I have not received any response, nor have they taken the necessary steps to address the inaccuracies present in my credit report. 
I've also included the dispute letters that I sent for your reference. I'd like to point out the urgency of the situation and demand that the inaccurate information on my credit report be removed. This demand is based on the violation of both 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i. I am disappointed that the credit rating agencies in question have not reacted quickly to my complaints. It is worrying and aggravating the situation in question that such a lack of urgency has not been addressed. In addition, the information they have provided is not merely incorrect but also misleading. This error of reporting is a significant and material mistake on the part of them.

According to 15 US Code 1681a ( 4 ), consumer reporting agencies must respect my right to privacy but clearly, my right to privacy as a consumer has been violated by you publicly reporting this information when I never gave your organization permission to report my information.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: WA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
On or about XX/XX/2019 my mortgage company, XXXX XXXX sold my Mortgage to Freedom Mortgage. We received a notice on XX/XX/XXXX to make our XX/XX/XXXX payment to our new mortgage co - Freedom. Due to the late notice our XX/XX/XXXX payment had already been sent to the prior mortgage company. 
On XX/XX/XXXX we received a letter from Freedom Mortgage that we were delinquent and now owed for XX/XX/XXXX and upcoming XX/XX/XXXX payment. At that time we made 2 additional payments electronically through our bank to Freedom. One for {$1600.00} and another for {$1600.00}. 
I have called Freedom Mortgage on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to follow up and I keep getting the run around with them saying they don't have my payments. On the last 3 dates that I called I have uploaded proof of electronic payment which includes a confirmation number that they received it. This makes a total of 3 payments that I have provided proof of receipt and they will not acknowledge any and to make matters worse, in a couple of weeks this is going to report on my credit.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: WI
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
This complaint relates to my Discover card. I pay this card online, and have for several years. This is intended as a way to insure that the payment is received on time. I am not dependent on the US mail to deliver a payment by the due date, and for the most part this has been successful. 

However, the payment made by phone for the month of XX/XX/2019, which was made on time and as I have made every other payment on this account, was recorded by Discover a day AFTER the deadline, causing a late fee. The payment was made on XX/XX/XXXX ; however, Discover processed the payment on XX/XX/XXXX, causing a {$28.00} late fee to be assessed to my account. This is unacceptable. 

I am also concerned that this malicious action on the part of the Discover card may have additional detrimental consequences, including an increase of the interest rate I am charged on this card, as well as a negative effect on my credit rating. These must be reversed, in both cases.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: NM
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Can't close your account

Complaint:
CASE # XXXX In late XX/XX/2021 we had a cyber security breach on our home desktop/laptop. We contacted our bank BBVA within ~ one hour and went to them when they opened the next morning to explain what happened. We closed all accounts at that time and received courtesy checks. Within a month the breach had been resolved, that is, all new accounts for checking, money market ( MM ), credit card, a new modem and even a new desktop computer that had been thoroughly vetted by the XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX. At the initial encounter with BBVA after the security breach, we put a hold on our Money Market account allowing money to be deposited but none to be withdrawn. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I tried to transfer money from our Money Market account to checking but was unable. On Friday XX/XX/XXXX I went to BBVA to inquire and the representative stated that our account was on hold at which time and I asked her to remove it but she could not ( I had forgotten to tell BBVA to release the hold ). The BBVA representative also tried to transfer funds from our MM account to checking, but was unable. Additional inquiries were made by the representative who stated that because PNC Bank was now the new owner as of XX/XX/XXXX, the account could not be released. She made additional calls and stated the hold would be released within 24-48 hours. After 6 business days ( XXXX ) I finally received an e-mail from PNC Retail Support which I responded to and on XXXX I called and also sent an e-mail to the PNC rep who sent me an e-mail but there was no response. Another PNC rep told me she sent a message to the rep handling the case, which needed to be further reviewed ; the Branch Mgr. at the PNC branch I do my banking also escalated the incident to PNC to no avail. It has now been 11 business days and after numerous contacts, escalations, and statements that the hold still had to be investigated, nothing has been done. This is totally unacceptable and I am truly livid. I put the hold on the account and I expect that when I request it being released it is done within a very timely fashion and not told there has been no investigation 11 business days later and the hold still on. If this were happening to you and your money I am sure you would be every bit as angry as I am. I don't know what kind of incompetent charlatans PNC hires but their lack of action and incessant escalations is disgraceful.

Product: Debt collection

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed

Complaint:
The debt collector FMS Financial Solution keeps contacting me about a debt which was discharged in bankruptcy. Attached is my bankruptcy paperwork and on page 22 the debt is listed as part of the debts which were discharged. They have sent me no written notices about the debt, and have used aggressive language in an attempt to intimidate me into paying a debt which was discharged during bankruptcy. One example of aggressive language that they used was to threaten to go after my father. While he did co-sign, my debt was discharged and I should not be contacted and told " we're going to go after your father, '' in an attempt to intimidate me. The FMS employee, XXXX, which told me this was aggressive and rude. FMS Financial Solution did not contact me during my bankruptcy proceedings because they received the bankruptcy paperwork. They also inflated the debt from approximately 3,000 dollars to 6,000 dollars and never provided any notice or information about what the extra charges were for. I want the debt collection to stop, I will be disputing this on my credit record and I want an apology written in email from the debt collector.

My name is XXXX XXXX and I am filing a credit card complaint against Citibank I have been a Citi Credit card holder since I am a XXXX back in XXXX, I used citi credit cards for the past 15 years, never miss any payment. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, I found all my credit cards are closed without any notification. I called Citi support immediately for three times, get transferred from one team to another and none of them can give me any reason for my account closure. They also can not help me to redeem my {$2000.00} cashback I earned over the years Citibank did not provide any solid justifications on why they are closing my account. 
It didn't made any attempts to contact me for any information, but simply decided to close my account. This practice is unusual and does not conform with industry standards and procedures carried out by all other banks. 

I hereby share my experience here to alert any other consumers like me that might be dumped by Citibank and I regretted so much for applying my first credit card 15 years ago. 

Sincerely XXXX XXXX
