Complaint:
USDA rural housing development home loan mortgage was paid off XXXX of XXXX. Account number XXXX. USDA cashed the check in XXXX of XXXX for {$120000.00}. I never received signed payoff title. I worked with a title agency. 
For property located at : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX KY XXXX. 
Our File No. XXXX contact person is : XXXX XXXX  XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX OH XXXX I received a check for over {$20000.00} and realtors were paid. The payoff was provided by the USDA. For the last 2 years and 10 months, I have contacted the company. The company continues to report to all 3 credit bureaus that a house payment has not been made since XXXX of XXXX, ruining my ability to buy another home for my family of XXXX. I am also unable to rent an apartment due to my credit score. My husband and XXXX XXXX  children have been " homeless '' for almost 3 years due to the company incompetency. In XXXX of XXXX, the company reported additional charges for " foreclosure '' fees over $ XXXX on all 3 credit bureaus. I have disputed with every credit bureau each time. It'll fall off my credit report then only to reappear again. 
I've spoken with XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX in the foreclosure department, each informed me that this is their mistake, and the letter will be mailed, and everything will be ok. The USDA failed to apply the payment to my account due to COVID and " working from home '' until XX/XX/XXXX.

I have spent countless hours on the phone only to be told, it's taken care of, and I never receive the letter. I can not get anyone that can help me on the phone and have to wait for call backs from the foreclosure department. I've asked to speak to manager only to be called and told, the manager on the phone can't send me the letter but " XXXX XXXX '' will call me and can email or mail me the title payoff letter. I have never received a call or letter from XXXX XXXX. Then the phone call process starts over again.

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2019 I purchased a couch and entertainment center on credit from Ashley Home Furniture Store. I was clearly explained that this was a 12 month interest free purchase after the 12 months I would be charged interest PER MONTH based off of what I had my principal balance paid down to. I just received my billing statement and I'm being charged {$580.00} in interest, {$38.00} for an over my credit limit charge AND 29.99 % interest on all of the above moving forward. A call was placed to Syncrony bank c/o Ashley Homestore and told the best they could do is me pay my principal balance in full today to avoid the extra charges and interest. The representative at Syncrony informed me this was a promotion when I made the purchase and the promotion was that I had to pay in full in 1 year to avoid being charged interest on the total purchase amount in 2019. How is this legal? I'm being charged interest ON TOP of interest. Absolutely none of this was explained when the purchase was made.

If you review my credit report in which I have a copy of there are numerous of violations with inaccurate information alone. If the open date is inaccurate, the date last active is inaccurate, and date last reported is not accurate how is that a proper investigation?

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Complaint:
I live in San Diego, but I was in XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I was charged for XXXX food on XX/XX/XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX - {$24.00} ) in XXXX XXXX while I was in XXXX. 

The thing is I placed charges on the same credit card in XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX thus verifying I was indeed in XXXX ; I also have receipts of plane travel to/from XXXX as well as the hotel I stayed at in XXXX on this exact date. Essentially, it would be impossible for me to eat at a XXXX restaurant on XX/XX/XXXX in XXXX XXXX and also be in XXXX at the same time. 

Once I noticed the fraudulent charge upon my return from XXXX, I called Chase to dispute the charge and request a new credit card. I then received a notice from Chase on XX/XX/XXXX letting me know that I would indeed be charged for the XXXX food ( XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX even though it is literally impossible for me to be in two different cities at once. 

I am filing a complaint because I did not make this charge. Again, I have charges on the same credit card in XXXX alongside plane/hotel receipts. Im sure I could even request surveillance footage of me at the hotel if need be. I am requesting the {$24.00} that was credited to my account indeed remain on my account as this truly was a fraudulent charge.
