Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received by mail a Pre-qualified offer from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  to reduce my current new car loan from XXXX XXXX. In the offer they indicated my XXXX interest rate@ 8.6 % and their pre-qualified rate@ 5.5 % which the offer would expire on XX/XX/XXXX. The offer letter also had a Pre-Qual Code XXXX to be use by calling or on their website. I decided to use their website, on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX, where I entered the Pre-Qual Code as instructed. I then was taken to a standard loan application which required me to enter almost all the info that was already in offer letter. So, I became suspicious, but I continued until they asked for my SSN, which I did not enter, at point I ended the application and closed the webpage! To my surprise a few minutes later I received a confirming email to my email address XXXX stating thank you for applying for an auto loan and I would here back in a few days! It cam form XXXX! I immediately replied with a return email : To whom it may concern : I received a pre-qualified invitation from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX  to refinance my auto loan, showing details about me and my current loan! 
When I went to your website as instructed and entered the magical mystic code XXXX include in the letter I received, it responded with many questions, with I answered, even though they should have already been answered as identified in your letter. Which leads me to believe that this is a scam!!! 
So, I am requesting that you remove any and all personal information you solicited from me ASAP or I will file a complaint with the FTC charging Fraudulent Solicitation!! I sure you or your organization is aware its illegal! 
I will expect a response to my request acknowledging that you removed me from all email and or phone lists as I requested!! If not, I assure you that you will hear from me again! 
Thank you XXXX XXXX. 

Today I received notice from XXXX XXXX, who Im a member, that a new Hard Inquiry had been made to my Equifax credit report, asking me to verify it, which I did! It was made by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX! I filed a dispute with Equifax immediately which is currently pending! 
I did not give my SSN to this bank, I didnt complete their form giving them authority to pull my credit report. I tried to get their customer service with no results, they dont seem to have one, I  dont know of any Bank that doesnt have customer service! 
I suspect fraudulent activity, this appears to be a scam! 
Thank you XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX

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/XXXX, I purchased two suits from XXXX, a company that makes bespoke suits. This company committed fraud, did not meet its terms of service, and lied about their shipping arranagments to me. I received the suits, to an address in XXXX, because they would not ship the suits to XXXX XXXX, where I currently live. This is despite nothing in their terms of service claiming they would not ship to XXXX XXXX. It only states they do not ship internationally, and XXXX XXXX is part of the United States -- so the shipping would indeed be within the same nation and not " international '' The suits, which I had to fly to XXXX to pick up, did not fit me at all. This was despite a guarantee they would. They refused to allow me to get them tailored in XXXX XXXX, again claiming in International. XXXX XXXX is not international, and to highlight the absurdity of this argument they could of simply used the USPS and not paid additional shipping costs. Also, I would even be willing to pay additional shipping costs. 

My credit card company asked for a letter from a competitor, which I was able to get and provided. This gave the expert opinion that XXXX was not acting within industry practices. I also provided all my correspondence indicating they would not remake the suit from a tailor in XXXX XXXX and they would not honor their guarantee. Despite this, they would not reverse the charge. This is against their terms of service. 

XXXX also refused to accept a return of the suit and provide a refund.

Issue: Other service problem

Complaint:
On XXXX, I went into a Bank of America Financial Center and  wanted to deposit a bag of coins into my account. I had heard there was a shortage of coins nationwide so I thought I would help. I was told they would not accept the coins unless it was for a business account. I have been a Preferred Customer of theirs for many, many years. I asked how they could refuse legal U.S. currency as a deposit. They said that if I went through the trouble of wrapping the coins in rolls myself that only then would they accept them. Can they put a restriction like that on accepting legal tender? 

In years past, I had deposited coins with no problem. They would give me a large plastic bag and I would have to fill out my name account number and then they would ship it downtown to be counted, just like they do for business accounts. This time they told me to take the coins to a commercial machine available in stores and pay the 15 % charge to count them. How can they refuse legal tender for deposit just because I can't take the time to roll the coins?

Complaint:
I reached out to TransUnion by Certified Mail Ltr # XXXX that they received on XX/XX/2018. 

Enclosed in this letter was a request to verify the bankruptcy being reported on the credit file associated with my Social Security number. 

I also provide a letter from the United States Bankruptcy Court from the XXXX XXXX of Georgia. This letter indicates that bankruptcy court does not report to the credit reporting agencies. 

TransUnion has failed to state or prove how they received this information, which was in the request that they provide proof of. They just updated the " court type '' on the report versus removing it. If I understand the FCRA, it states in affect that if the bureau can not provide verification of the disputed item they must delete it. 

Also, it is not indicate in the response from TransUnion of this dispute if and why the PACER system would have been used to access information on me that the courts themselves have indicated they do not report.

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

Complaint:
We purchased a home in XX/XX/XXXX. Shortly after, our original mortgage company sold our mortgage to Dovenmuhle. Our first payment to Dovenmuhle was in XX/XX/XXXX. We have an escrow account with Dovenmuhle. Our property tax bills for XX/XX/XXXX were sent out in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX county taxes were due XX/XX/XXXX and were paid by Dovenmuhle from our escrow account on XX/XX/XXXX. Our City of XXXX taxes were due XX/XX/XXXX. However, these were not paid until XX/XX/XXXX. An interest penalty for late payment was applied and I reached out via phone to Dovenmuhle on XX/XX/XXXX to inquire and understand what occurred. They gave me instructions on how to request a reimbursement and I sent that correspondence on XX/XX/XXXX requesting a reimbursement to our escrow account for {$94.00} ( the total amount ended up being {$94.00} of interest accrued, this can be confirmed with the XXXX County ( Georgia ) Tax Commissioner office ). 

Dovenmuhle 's response to my email inquiry requesting reimbursement into our escrow account included the following : " Please not that you will not be reimbursed for the penalty tax amounts as we did not disburse these funds from your escrow account as they should have been paid prior to the service transfer of your loan. '' How could my original mortgage company have paid a bill which did not exist until XX/XX/XXXX? That is 3 months after Dovenmuhle bought our mortgage from our original mortgage company.
