Consumer complaint received 2021-05-27
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
I had the misfortune of working with XXXX and US Bank in XX/XX/2021 when I was looking to buy a family home in XXXX XXXX. The interactions started strong. XXXX provided competitive mortgage rates, issued a pre-approval for a mortgage amount far greater than I needed and was fairly quick to call me back ( always on his cell phone never on a recorded line ). This positive beginning gave me the false confidence to dismiss the other lenders and focus entirely on US Bank, a decision I would later strongly regret. 

The requests for documents started to come through very piecemeal ; a statement on one day, a screen shot two days later, another statement a couple of days after that. There didnt seem to be any set plan on the documentation needed to process my application. This made the whole ordeal extremely drawn out which posed a serious problem with meeting the escrow date targets.

The mortgage requirements also changed considerably. 3 weeks into the discussions the amount of cash needed to purchase my house was increased arbitrarily by $ XXXX, a sum that thankfully I was just about able to raise. This increase was not for an additional downpayment the LTV of the mortgage was to remain the same it was simply an additional requirement with no further details given. XXXX repeated asked me whether my mom could lend me money or whether I had any siblings generous enough to gift me some cash. He had no idea of my person circumstances and I found these questions unprofessional and intrusive. He even went as far to suggest that I take out a person loan, have the money deposited in an account that did not have visibility on, transfer the money to my spouse so that they could deposit the cash in the escrow account to make it look like a gift. Although this all sounded very unprofessional and possibly illegal, I reluctantly agreed. At this point I was too far involved and it was too late in the process to change to a different lender. After doing this, as you would expect, my FICO score plummeted as I took out an unsecured loan. 

In the end, due to XXXX incompetence and mismanagement of the whole ordeal, I was forced to back out of the house purchase which was a severe setback to myself and my family. He inability to do his job lost me a house, a considerable amount of money in the form of fees and other charges, and also took up a huge amount of my time.

Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response from the 3Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you. They have shown negligence and an act of refusal of complying with my request. I know for a fact that they are to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law, provide proof, and documents, and give definite and accurate responses, within the given statutory time. However, if they failed to do so, they are obliged to remove or update the items which are erroneous and unverified.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
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/2018, I received my new Sears Mastercard, number XXXX, in the mail and disputed a charge for {$2200.00}, made at a Sears store in XXXX, California on XX/XX/2018. The dispute was made via telephone. I never received a confirmation of the dispute, so I filed a duplicate dispute on-line the following day. The basis for the dispute was that Sears delivered a non-functional/defective electronically adjustable ergonomic bed-set. The bed-set was purchased to address my physical XXXX. 

Sears Mastercard responded to the dispute with a letter dated XX/XX/2018 ( attached ) requesting additional information. Specifically, The date and method of return, a copy of the return receipt or credit voucher, an explanation and a copy of the merchants refund policy. I replied with my letter dated XX/XX/2018 ( attached ) and I included copies of the receipt/contract which detailed the return policy, salescheck number XXXX, attached. I also included the transaction print-out, salescheck number XXXX, which XXXX ( a store manager ) gave me on XX/XX/2018, when I attempted to return the merchandise to the store in person. That day, XXXX refused the return and instead referred me to the Sears National Customer Relations line XXXX. I subsequently telephoned the line and told XXXX I wanted to immediately return the defective bed-set. She gave me case number XXXX and told me someone would contact me. To date, no one has contacted me. Two other people witnessed my attempts to return the merchandise. 

Sears Mastercard investigated the dispute and reversed the charge, see letter dated XX/XX/2018, attached. Then suddenly and without providing any additional evidence, Sears Mastercard arbitrarily overturned their decision in their letter dated XX/XX/2018, attached. The reason for reinstating the charge was, you did not provide proof that you returned the merchandise to the merchant. Indeed, considering the evidence the only reasonable conclusion is Sears Mastercard did not evaluate the dispute in good faith as required by law and reversed their decision because of their financial symbiotic relationship with Sears. I am therefore, requesting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to intervene on my behalf.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
I am aware that you have been responding to many of the disputes, complaints, and challenges with pre-written standard form letters, despite the precise information consumers have provided. I am well aware that this is ILLEGAL ; as each consumer dispute must be addressed individually and dealt with in accordance with its particular merits. 
My letters have written and generated using accessible software that is available to everyone. If you choose not to process or address my letters, you are violating 15 U.S. Code 5 1681i. And it is against the law to delay the processing of letters from consumers based on the assumption that assistance from a third party may be available. This does not qualify as a legal exception. I am the sole author of any letters bearing my name, or they have been written by my advisors with my complete knowledge and consent. I understand that there is no requirement for you to request a Power of Attorney in order to delay processing consumer letters. If you fail to process my letters promptly, I will consider it as a deliberate disregard for my consumer rights. In such a case, I will be compelled to contact my attorney and pursue legal action.

According to the FCRA Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( l ) and the accepted STANDARD of Metro 2 data fild reporting, I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe is not correct. It is essential that all data included in a consumer 's file is properly documented and validated before it is made available for use by creditors. Therefore, I take this matter seriously. The allegations of delinquency and derogatory information against me are entirely false, I won't stand for any misinformation being associated with my name and fiancial history and I am determined to FIGHT back with ALL my strength! The accuracy of your credit report is crucial. The allegations listed do not meet the federal or state requirements for reporting and can not be substantiated. I challenge these claims due to their failure to comply with basic reporting standards, which would provide me with greater confidence in the accuracy of the information presented. It is your responsibility to maintain and report data with complete accuracy and compliance. You must not report any claims that you know do not meet regulatory requirements. It is crucial that we ensure all claims are accurate and reported in the appropriate format as mandated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and reporting standards such as METRO 2. I kindly request that you handle this matter with utmost care and diligence.

Complaint:
There is information on my consumer report that is a result of identity theft. I did not provide written permission or instructions for the identified transactions to be reported on my consumer report. I am requesting that the reporting of this information be blocked and deleted. My request to block is not being made in error. My request to block is not being made on the basis of material misrepresentation of fact by me, relevant to the request to block the identified transactions. The identified transactions are not information related to any transaction by me as the consumer. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX after first being made aware of a fraudulent contract under my name with the company. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The dealership informed us that we would not be held liable in any way. A month later my car insurance canceled my policy for not having full coverage insurance on this vehicle. This matter has caused my family so much distress, from having to deal with the police to calling and visiting the dealership for months. I have never owned a vehicle or any property connected to this company! I was told that the company contacted the dealership and entered a lawsuit with them because I did not purchase a vehicle nor did I knowingly enter into any contract with XXXX. None of my proper information was ever verified by XXXX, the company was unsure how I even had a file with them. After contacting XXXX I stopped receiving bills but was unaware that this account was still on my consumer report. I do not or have not owned any material connected to this company in any way. I do not certify the validity of this debt, I have not provided written instruction or otherwise for this debt to be reported to my consumer file. This account appears on my profile as the result of fraud and identity theft.
