In XXXX  XXXX XXXX was taken to court for allowing someone named XXXX XXXX to open an account with a fraudulent signature as a co-signer on my behalf. Ive asked multiple times for both parties to produce a contract showing this vehicle loan is mine. Neither have been able to do so however the information continues to be reported despite being provided COURT DOCUMENTS showing the outcome of the judge agreeing on my behalf and ORDERING BOTH COMPANIES to remove the account from my report. Experian has also been provided with the court order, ftc report, and police report and once again have neglected to remove the account from my profile.

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: NY
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Opening an account
Sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2018 I opened a new Platinum Checking account with Citizens Bank. The account was opened online at the website : www.citizensbank.com/promotion/platinum/cash-offer-400.aspx. This account came with a promotion that offered me {$400.00} for the new account. I completed the application for the account and fulfilled the terms of the account and expected to receive the bonus I was offered of {$400.00}. 

After a few months the bonus had never shown up in my account. When I logged in to check the account, I then noticed that my account was listed as a " One Deposit '' checking account, not the Platinum account I opened. I am not sure if the bank changed my account type without my knowledge or consent, or somehow screwed up when they opened my account. I first contacted the bank by Secure Message on their website on XX/XX/2018 indicating the problem with my account type. Despite indication that they " make every effort to respond within 2 business days, '' I did not receive any response at all. 

On XX/XX/2018 I sent a second message regarding this issue. Four days later I received a replying stating they needed additional information about the promotion I applied for. I replied, including giving the webpage mentioned above. I received a final response on XXXX stating that : " our records indicate that you opened a One deposit checking account. Due to this the account would not qualify for the promotion that required a Platinum checking account. '' This is not true. I have evidence that I can provide that shows the offer I applied under ( Offer screenshots.pdf ). I also have screenshots from my actual application ( My application.pdf ) which notes in numerous places that I am applying for a Platinum checking account. Finally, I have numerous emails from Citizens Bank ( Email 1-4 pdfs ) stating that my Platinum checking account was opened, my Platinum debit card was mailed and the benefits of my Platinum status. I even have an email as recent as XX/XX/2018 referencing my Platinum status. 

Again, I clearly applied and was approved for a Platinum checking account. Somewhere along the way Citizens Bank screwed up. But they refuse to admit the problem. Contacting them directly has not helped so I am hoping the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau can help me. Thank you.

Complaint:
I called all 3 credit bureaus about several inquiries that were not mine and a few that were duplicates listed in my report.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NJ
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Unexpected increase in interest rate

Complaint:
Capital One Credit Card failed to disclose that the New Balance figure on the statement was not the correct pay-off figure when the O % Intro APR offer was ending. They failed to disclose that the printed statement due by date was not applicable to the 0 % offer due date of the statement period. They failed to disclose in any email, phone call or even list on the statement the end date of the Intro Offer so the consumer could pay in full the balance before the actual due date and avoid an interest charge on the next statement even when it led to a XXXX balance in the account in the period. 

I had paid off the entire new balance of XXXX before the due date of XX/XX/, 2019 on the statement. They then proceeded to charge me interest of XXXX on the next statement. 

When I called and spoke to XXXX she refused to credit me back this interest even though there were no other changes on the account and my credit rating was over 800 as well. 

I have other credit cards with special offers and they always list the date that special offer will end so that the consumer my pay off the balance before the offer ends. 

This is deceptive practice on part of Capital One, they could do what other credit companies due and disclose the actual date lined out on the statement, not show 0 % in the statement when it really is not 0 % interest to pay by the due date.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
I applied and was approved for a loan modification. However, my interest rate is higher in the loan modification. My current interest rate is 4.5 % and the loan modification interest rate is 6.0 %. My complaint is loan modification is supposed to help the homeowners. So, at least Selene should offer the same interest rate, if not lower, especially interest rate right now is lower. I accepted the higher interest rate of 6 % because I was afraid of losing my house if I did not accept the offer.

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

Complaint:
An account is being reported incorrectly on my report. It is through XXXX XXXX XXXX, a Collections Agency, account number XXXX. The collection was originally through a lender called XXXX. The reference number at XXXX XXXX XXXX for this issue is XXXX. This account has been CLOSED with a PAID IN FULL status since XX/XX/2016. However, this information has been incorrectly reported by all three bureaus. XXXX XXXX XXXX and all three bureaus have been contacted about this issue multiple times, but nobody is any help. I have a correspondence from XXXX XXXX XXXX, verifying that I am correct that the account is in fact Closed and Paid in Full. But it isnt reported that way. XXXX reports the item as Open and active in collections. Experian reports the item as a Charge Off, meaning that I still owe money for the account. XXXX still shows the account as Open in collections. This account should not be displayed as Active or Open in collections. It should be Closed. I should have zero accounts active or open in collections. It should be displayed as Paid In Full, not as a Charge Off. I am trying to refinance my mortgage and this issue is causing me undue financial stress. I do not want to have to file suit under the Fair Credit Reporting Act but its at the point I may have to.

Company: PENNSYLVANIA HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY
State: NJ
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
I contacted the Pennsylvania Fin Agency ( PHFA ) to apply for a forbearance as it relates to the CARES Act during the COVID Pandemic. At first I was given the runaround and was told that this mortgage company wasn't issuing forbearances. I called back the next day, and I was offered a forbearance ; when I inquired about extending the forbearance, I was offered a HUD loan and was told that was my only option. I was pretty frustrated with the option. I could not understand why I was offered a loan when I was already looking for some assistance with my 1st loan. Because the PHFA didn't offer any assistance at the time beyond another loan during my hardship with the pandemic, they continuously report my loan in the negative to the 3 credit bureaus while I struggled to pay my mortgage on time. Under the CARES Act, they were supposed to provide some assistance so my credit could have been protected from negative reporting, and that didn't happen with PFHA. They continued to report me in the negative from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. They never offered me another forbearance until last week. 

My other mortgage company has been very accommodating.
