Sub-issue: Fee problem

Complaint:
Citibank has been charging me {$30.00} a month service fee since XX/XX/2020. In XX/XX/2020, I called them and pointed this out, and they agreed to refund the fee that had been charged till then. They told me this fee was because I had a 'premium ' account, even though I had never requested this, and had not used any of the 'premium ' features. Till date, I do not know what these premium features are. 

However, a few days ago, I noticed that I was still getting charged this fee. Since XX/XX/2020, I have been charged a total of {$300.00}, even though I was under the impression that I was not going to get charged this fee again. When I called Citibank, they said that they can not do anything this time. They refused to issue a refund, and asked me to call back again to downgrade access ( since they could not do it on the same call ).

State: MO
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
I have requested each of the credit reporting agencies multiple times over the past year requesting a freeze on my credit reports. With each request, I have included name, social security number, and address verification. None of the CRA 's are following through with the freeze request, and have even prevented me from accessing any of my credit information. Experian claims they do not have a credit file on me even though I have a copy of my credit report and include it with my requests as well. XXXX won't provide me with any information either. 

I have also submitted police report regarding identity theft, which has also been disregarded and ignored. 

In an attempt to apply for a home improvement loan, none of the CRA 's were willing or " able '' to lift the security freeze as requested over the phone nor in writing - even with various documents proving identification.

Company: RUSHMORE LOAN MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC
State: MO
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
We have been set up to fail on this mortgage from the get go! I have been working with XXXX XXXX at Rushmore Loan Management to save my house and the only solutions I have gotten are loan mod trial payments that are increasing my payments instead of reducing them. A year ago I lost a $ XXXX job. I was out of work for 2 months with no income and only my wife 's {$55000.00} income. I asked for help and was told to do a short sale as Rushmore deemed I couldn't afford the house. I then got a job with a salary of {$55000.00} to match my wife 's. We get approved for a loan mod trial payment that is about the same amount as my current payment!!! ( The one that is already too high! ). Well they set up the mod trial payments to begin immediately a week after requiring me to come up with {$2000.00} down payment so immediately we are gon na run behind because they didn't calculate the extra month and give us enough time between payments. C'mon really???? That is just setting us up to fail! We did, we were never able to stay current because we started out delinquent on it. So I go get another job that pays more - {$60000.00} back at my old employer XXXX and I again petition for some relief on our payments and we get approved again. Again I had to come up with another {$2000.00} down payment and again was given only 7 days to make the 1st trial payment of get this {$2000.00}!!!!!! Again we started out delinquent on the trial plan - well now we just received the 10 day letter that the plan is being canceled because we fell behind! You started us behind and again we were set up to fail! OK we lost {$28000.00} income and now our mortgage payment gets raised another ball park $ XXXX. We are asking for a lower payment not a higher payment!!! Then I get told at least it will bring you current!! So we can default on the higher payment again. The idea is to fix it right the first time. I also was told if I can manage to pay it for 1 year on time we would be eligible for a refi. No one is gon na refi us with our credit like it is! 

We offered to pay $ XXXX for the house and was told not enough. That is 25 % of our net monthly take home pay. It would be on time every month. My wife does XXXX XXXX at XXXX ( she is an XXXX ) and they offer numerous alternative mods where they balloon balances on the back end to hit an affordable payment. They also set payment structures temporarily for say 60 months at reduced payments to help people get back on their feet and save their house. We have been offered no interest rate reduction, no term extension, no payment reduction. No nothing except pay more and the payment goes up, up, and up. It is almost as if Rushmore wants us to fail so they foreclose on our home of 11 years. 

We can pay and want to save our house. Please help us and please stop raising our payment so high it is un-affordable to us.

Complaint:
XXXX has been deceptively putting my loan in forbearance status even though I was never late in payment or requested forbearance status. Also, they are generating higher amount bill than it actually is due so that payment carries over to next month and it does not count as qualifying payment toward PSLF. This is a very deceptive and fraud practice. They are not listening to me and not fixing these issues. If they do not count all my qualifying payments for PSLF, I am going to take legal action against them. I hope they listen to you.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I traded in my car XX/XX/2017, which financed by capital one auto finance. The monthly account payment was late, but not 30 days yet. I received the new car and the dealer agreed to pay the remaining balance on the trade in car, which there was still a year and a half of payments left. The dealer took 14 days to pay off the prior loan, which was XX/XX/2017. I had no idea and was never told I was still responsible to make payments in till the dealer paid the loan off. If I had known ... I could have just made the payment. Received a 30 late on my credit report. I called capital one several times explain but no resolution. This account was paid off a year and a half early with just this one late late payment. I believe it's unreasonable for capital one not to remove this one blemish from my credit report.

Company: Credit Counsel, Inc.
State: FL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
I had a repair performed on my vehicle at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/18 and had a balance due of {$830.00} for this work. I was not aware of the balance, since I never received an invoice from XXXX. I became aware after receiving a debt collection notice from XXXX XXXX at Credit Counsel Inc. on XX/XX/18for {$920.00}. I spoke to the management at XXXX  to let them know that I never received an invoice, which would have alerted me to pay and I was disappointed that they sent the bill to collection without even letting me know. They agreed that an error was made and they were supposed to invoice me but never did so due to an oversight. I promptly paid the outstanding balance due to them, which was {$830.00} in person on XX/XX/18. I was assured by XXXX that I no longer owed them any money and that the debt collector will no longer be contacting me for payment. I received a receipt from XXXX, showing the payment made and that the balance on my account is {$0.00}. However, I have received additional correspondence after payment was made from Credit Counsel on XX/XX/18 requesting payment for {$86.00} even though I do not owe this money, as I already paid my debt and resolved the issue with the creditor.

Further, the balance that Credit Counsel Inc. is stating I owe increases with each notice I receive. The initial notice received on XX/XX/18 is {$910.00} which includes {$83.00} in excess of the balance owed to XXXX. An email received on XX/XX/18 indicates I owe {$920.00} ( {$85.00} in excess of the balance owed ). I paid off the debt on XX/XX/18, and received another notice on XX/XX/18 for a total of {$86.00}. When I inquired why this excess amount is owed from Credit Counsel Inc, an explanation or details supporting the claim could not be provided and they only sent the invoice of {$830.00} from XXXX. I also inquired of XXXX on why the amount being charged by the debt collector is higher than the amount owed and the manager, XXXX XXXX, at the XXXX  stated that it is not in accordance with their contract for Credit Counsel to charge more than the {$830.00}, since Credit Counsel receives a fee as revenue from the amount collected from the debt.

I still insist that this bill was covered under my insurance at that time.
