Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit repair services
Issue: Confusing or missing disclosures

Complaint:
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting act. The list of accounts below has violated my federal protected consumer rights to privacy and confidentiality under 15 USC 1681, XXXX  Account # XXXX, has violated my rights. 

15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : It also states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish without my written instructions. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX  New Credit Inquiry Added Applying for a new line of credit will usually result in a hard inquiry on your credit report. You could also see inquiries from applications for a new apartment, phone or utilities account. Each hard inquiry will typically lower your score a bit, though the effects often wear off after a few months. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Collection Balance Increase of {$1.00} There could be a few different reasons why your balance increased. For example, the collection agency may have added interest charges to your balance or your balance may have been updated to correct a previous reporting error. While the balance change itself won't necessarily impact your score, having an account in collections is generally harmful to your credit. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Increased by {$1.00} It looks like your balance went up. This could be the result of a missed payment, which can have a negative effect on your score. Your total debt also typically factors into your credit score, so it's best to keep it low if you can.

Product: Mortgage

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
My mortgage was recently sold to XXXX. This will only be my XXXX payment to them of both of which have been on time based on the policy at the time. Now they are charging fees for what they consider " past the due date ''. Mine is " due '' on the XXXX. They start charging fees starting on the XXXX and they get higher the more the days go by. I am not disputing that a late charge could be due, but there are several issue. When my first statement came out, the " late date '' was considered to be the XXXX. One, I was never notified in writing on the change and certainly did n't agree to it. Two, I have never been late on it, so I do n't see how they have the right to change their policy. This is nothing but a money grab from a greedy company penalizing responsible borrowers. Please address this issue. Thank you.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: MD
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:
American Express Delta Sky Miles card. When billed {$95.00} annual fee I immediately called customer service on phone to cancel account. Talked to agent, expressed desire to cancel unless they waived fee. Was transferred to 'retention specialist ' line. Was on hold for > 20 minutes then call dropped. Went online, did the same on chat session. I tried at least five times with online chat and phone calls. I was finally able to cancel card, but by then their 30 day time limit to refund next year 's annual fee had passed. In one of the customer service conversations XXXX said would they investigate and respond in 60 days.
Amex effectively delayed cancellation of the card until the fee refund period was over. This behavior seems similar to XXXX making it extremely hard to cancel their service, for which the FTC dinged them, about ten years ago.

State: NJ
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
Change has switched my loan type from a conventional 30 year fixed to an " interest only '' loan after sitting on my loan for 2 months and 3 days before my rate expires. They are doing this because they no longer offer the original product I was locked into early XX/XX/2022. This is beyond frustrating as we are already in breach of contract due to the ongoing delays caused by change. Change does not reply to any of my communications and they continue to intentionally let my rate locks expire with their tactics. Just last week XX/XX/2022 due to the delays caused by Change XXXX, I was forced into a loan that was 1.15 % higher ( from 5.1 % to 5.75 % to 6.25 % ) than my originally locked loan due to the intentional delays and now they switched the product on me 3 days before the new rate expires. 

I had originally filed a complaint ( XXXX ) with CFPB regarding the malpractice from Change Lending XXXX XXXX Change has been forcing me into higher rates by not providing me with a clear to close. They stop communicating with me every time my new locks expire and then force me into higher rates by telling me " take it or leave it ''. If I leave the loan the seller will sue and I will lose my deposit and any additional damages.

Complaint:
I am unaware of the accounts that are listed on my credit report. I 've contacted my lawyer to investigate the issue and come to find out that the accounts are n't mine. You ca n't continue to accuse me or force me to accept the accounts. If I know for sure that these are n't mine please stop accusing me please seriously. Now I 'm asking how did these accounts end up on my credit report without my consent, what process did you guys use to verify that these accounts are for me? I would like to know the steps you took to inaccurately and improperly placed it on my report? You are actually accusing me, breaking the laws in such ways without my consent there is no way anyone can add an account or inquiry on my credit. No one has contacted me nor did I attempt to open any accounts for more than 20 years. So we have a problem. I am an elderly citizen and I am going to make sure who ever is in on this pays the consequences including you guys. I 'm not someone who uses credit at no point I 'd rather use my own cash. I am going to contact the Police Department, FTC, BBB, and file a lawsuit because it seems to be a problem now days. If it 's not removed I will take legal actions against each creditor.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I have contacted all 3 credit companies and the department of education about getting my student loans either completely off my credit report or partially off it. Reason being is because 2 are pass the statue of limitations. XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. They said that they will fall off in 10years. Ive asked them why 10years when its suppose to be 7years for it to stay on your credit report. Because its still on my credit report I simply can not get a house loan. All Im trying to do is move into a house with my kids and no one will assist in removing my student loans. I understand that I still will owe on the debt that I dont have a problem with but I cant not acquire credit with the student loans being on my credit report. The credit companies tell me they cant dispute them off and the student loan company says the same thing. No luck getting any assistance with this.
