Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Trouble using the card
Sub-issue: Problem using the card to withdraw money from an ATM

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX at around XXXX, my American Express Serve account was permanently suspended & i was locked out. My husband and I have a joint account & he can't access his subaccount or his money either, which was payroll direct deposit from his employer last week. It sucks because he is a hard working essential worker & can't access money he worked hard to earn. I have called numerous times & spoke to a few different people & was told by the last one, that it was because of my last name change on my unemployment. However i have been receiving direct deposit from my employer with my last name change without any issues. And was actually told by customer service, right after getting married, that it wasn't necessary to change it, but could if I wanted to. They even accused my husband of not being who he is, looked and reviewed our account again & saw that they were wrong about that and for holding his funds. They both said that it would be unlocked within 48 hrs. It has not. They are liars & a joke at this point. I have been with Amex for over 3yrs & this has never happened. I will be closing that card as soon as funds are accessible. Already have a new actual bank account set up. We are broke at the moment & they are holding over {$500.00} from us. Please help us as we are just trying to make it & can barely survive. They need to be stopped as there are hundreds of people online that have also been suspended as well. The only explanation they give us, is that we broke section 15d of user ahreement. But we did not. None of us gave them permission to do this & American Express has broken their own user agreement. I am disgusted & dissapointed, as bills are due & we can't access our funds to pay them.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I recently contacted the CFPB to dispute a late payment that American Express is refusing to move for XX/XX/XXXX. I did not have additional documentation at the time but have gathered my statements. American Express is claiming they are reporting the information correctly, that my account was 30 days negative for this month. However, my statements show consistent payments during this time. I have not disputed the accurate information from previous late payments, only this one that was made in good faith to get back on track with my bills. My XX/XX/XXXX payment was received XX/XX/XXXX through the agency, and my credit report shows it as on time. My XX/XX/XXXX payment in question was received on XX/XX/XXXX yet it is marked as late. AmEx has not even reported payments after the XX/XX/XXXX, evidenced by the screenshot. When I try to correct this, I always get told about the integrity of the credit report, but it appears to me based off my statements and the other months on my report that AmEx is more concerned about saving face than admitting to an error.

Complaint:
U.S Bank reported me to XXXX on the XX/XX/XXXX for owing {$60.00}, it does n't make sense to me as I walked into the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX location on the XX/XX/XXXX to close out my bank account. I closed out my bank with XXXX XXXX and I came in on XX/XX/XXXX to verify to why US Bank reported me. XXXX tried to investigate and was not aware to why or eve how I was negative {$60.00} on my checking account. She also recalls me going to the US Bank and closing my account without having any issues. XXXX called the back office to try and figure out to why I was reported. The Back office notified her that they never reported me to XXXX and that XXXX might have some kind of error. I told them I tried to open a bank with XXXX XXXX and was unsuccessful due to being on XXXX. XXXX was transferred 3x and was not able to get any information to why I was reported. After she hung up I showed her my XXXX report and explained that I was reported. On the report it shows that US Bank reported me on the XX/XX/XXXX but when looking at my bank statement I owed XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and even on the XX/XX/XXXX when it was the ending balance I was at XXXX. XXXX once again called and gave the information over that US bank did indeed report me and the first person she spoke to was not able to have any information to why, They ended up transferring her over again and then the 2nd person said that " US Bank reports people to XXXX every week and then thats the reason to why I was reported. '' I am confused as on my bank statment it shows that I requested to close my bank account on the XX/XX/XXXX and the account getting closed did not go into effect until the XX/XX/XXXX. What is confusing me is that on the XX/XX/XXXX I had a XXXX Balance and that is the same exact day that US Bank reported me to XXXX. I also see that once the account was closed I was charged a {$30.00} fee for " force-closed account fee '' Which I am not sure to why it says force-closed on XX/XX/XXXX if I came in on XX/XX/XXXX to close out my account. PLEASE HELP!

Complaint:
To date we have paid over {$30000.00} to Navient for our private student loan which had an original balance of {$53000.00}. The current payoff balance to date is over {$59000.00}. For 5 plus years we have been making more than the minimum payment amount but they chose to apply the over payment to interest instead of to the principle. This would have drastically lowered our current balance. We would like to see if there are any actions we can take to. correct this.

Complaint:
This account is already PAID. I am seeing repetitive 30-day late marks which is a clear violation of the FCRA and it is severely affecting my scores. 

I am not sure how this happened, I believe that I had made my payments to you when I received my statements. My only thought is that my monthly statement did not get to me, or the payment was not applied as fast as expected. I checked my bank account and noticed that you deducted the money out of my checking account that on the month that you marked me late on my credit report.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
I tried to get a credit freeze with Experian on XX/XX/2017. After filling out the online application ( including entering payment information ), I got the following message : " We were unable to honor your request to place a security freeze on your personal credit report based on the information you entered. Sending us your information To request a security freeze, send all of the requested information via certified ... .. '' ( I am attaching a PDF of this screen to this complaint. ) I never followed up with that paperwork. 

Today, I authorized a lender to do a hard pull on my credit file, and I got a message back that they ( 1 ) use Experian and ( 2 ) my Experian account was frozen. I tried to unfreeze my account via the Experian portal and got a similar message that my request could only be processed by mail. 

More importably, I never successfully froze my account ( to my knowledge ), nor did I get a pin or any notification. 

I would like my credit report unfrozen with Experian because they were never authorized to freeze it in the first place.

Complaint:
I received an auto loan through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and consistently made my payments on time. During this time I went through numerous health issues, surgeries and financial hardships but still maintained my obligation of consistent payments. 



On XX/XX/XXXX I purchased a new vehicle from XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX   was contacted regarding a 10 day payoff amount. XX/XX/XXXX per the attached check XXXX XXXX received final payment for my loan. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX to confirm receipt of the funds and was told on numerous occasions that the check was not yet received ; in speaking to the representative I was informed that I would not receive a late payment reporting on my credit report because the check should be processed by end of month. 



I thought nothing else of it because on XX/XX/XXXX I received an email informing me my auto account was paid in full, however on XX/XX/XXXX via my credit monitoring service I was notified that my now closed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account was reported as 30 days late which dropped my credit score by nearly 100 points. I was reported 30 days late on XX/XX/XXXX the same day the loan was paid off. 



I am requesting that this late payment be removed from my credit file as it has significantly affected my credit record and payment was received prior to me being 30 days late and the end of the month which I was told by numerous representatives is the reporting day. I am purchasing a home in XXXX and this negative item could render that impossible, cancel my pre-approval and cause detriment in other credit areas. I have spent years working two jobs, sacrificing and paying off debt to rebuild my credit history only to have my score I raised from XXXX to over 700 diminished by this derogatory item.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: RI
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Nationstar misstated to CFPB the process and corrective action Nationstar took in addressing the errors in my mortgage account. ( see attached letter ). 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment of {$3300.00} one week prior to the payment due date. The escrow calculation had changed from {$1400.00} to {$1600.00}. Nationstar provided no explanation for why the escrow calculation inexplicably changed in XXXX, XXXX. Again, inexplicably, Nationstar changed the escrow calculation back to {$1400.00} in XX/XX/XXXX. 

Secondly, XX/XX/XXXX I made two payments of {$3500.00} on the same date for a total of XXXX. One of those payments should have been credited to the principle balance after the other check paid interest and escrow. Instead Nationstar treated the two payments same. Each check was deposited as if it paid principle, interest and escrow resulting in double payment of interest and escrow on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Nationstar provided no evidence that the escrow account reflected these double payments. Nationstar should have reduced the balance remaining by {$3500.00} using the second payment check but did not. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, Nationstar screwed up the second payment for the escrow account by depositing the payment as a mortgage payment and had to reverse the payment for deposit into the escrow account. 

I am now requesting a full refund of the extra {$3500.00} paid in XXXX that was not recorded correctly nor accounted for in the payment schedule as a reduction in principle. Nationstar overstated my remaining balance when paying off the mortgage to XXXX XXXX. 

Nationstar miscalculated interest and escrow XX/XX/XXXX and therefore miscalculated the balance resulting in an overstatement of the {$3100.00}. This amount should be returned to me immediately with interest. The adjustments on XX/XX/XXXX of {$140.00} and {$200.00} also reflect that the payment in XX/XX/XXXX was sufficient to cover the mortgage due did not constitute a late payment of insufficient payment given those adjustments were not derived from other monthly mortgage payments. ( see attached supporting documentation )
