Sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

Complaint:
Midfirst Bank came to my orientation at XXXX university. They offered a {$100.00} bonus if you open a bank account with them that day. I spoke with them after the presentation and gave the guy my application. He stated he would come back in a few hours to help me make my initial deposit and get me my bank card. The representative never returned and I had to go days later into the bank at XXXX to speak with the manager about why my application was not processed. He apologized several times and said he would make it right. He helped me get my card and stated I would receive more information via email or mail and I never did. I setup direct deposit and waited. They told me I would get the {$100.00} a week after and it never came. The lady on the phone said I would get the bonus, I would just need to wait 4 weeks. I waited and still no bonus. I called today and they are refusing to give me the bonus. I advised the manager when I went in to the office I told them I would NOT open this account if I could no longer get this bonus. He clarified several times he would take care of me and not to worry. 

I called today and spoke with someone at the branch, he said he spoke to the manager and he said he would not honor it. I advised again he promised me when I went into the branch originally I would get the {$100.00} bonus that was advertised at the orientation.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I applied for a secured credit card through XXXX XXXX. After my application, I discovered my twin brother 's credit file is showing on my credit report. I contacted XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and they explained I would need to mail in information to verify my identity, however they did not specify all the documents I would actually need. I mailed the information on XX/XX/XXXX. I never received any confirmation so I called XXXX again on XX/XX/XXXX and they assured me it would be fixed in five to ten business days. I reapplied for the secured cc and discovered my credit file had still not been corrected. Today on XX/XX/XXXX my banker and I called XXXX after being transferred multiple times and hung up on just to find out there were no notes or updates on my credit file. I would have to resend the documents and call again for an update in five to seven business days. I also tried to contact XXXX and Equifax on XX/XX/XXXX. Equifax did not allow me to speak with a representative due to the call volume being too high and advised me to call back later. I tried to dispute my credit file online with XXXX online and by calling on XX/XX/XXXX but was not given the option to actually correct my credit file. I have been told this is a common error but not my error, to begin with. I just want to fix my credit file so I can start building my credit. This has been a major inconvenience and I have not been helped in any compacity by any of these credit bureaus. I am starting to feel defeated and possibly am being discriminated against by me being a young XXXX American man.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
My issue involves XXXX XXXX XXXX ; I have previously filed a complaint. I have contacted Ocwen Ombudsman but got a generic response. One thing they continue to ignore is the inaccurate information they are now reporting. The term of the loan is reported as 38 years. This is false. The term was 15 years with a balloon note. This is why they were able to take my home. CFPB recently filed a suit against this company : Case No. XXXX CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU, I want to add any information I can to this suit if possible. If not, I want someone to help me determine if anything can be done. I began trying to go through the modification process in XX/XX/XXXX 2010. They refused me at every turn. First, because I was not in default and had not missed 3 payments. When they received that 3rd payment they sent it back and my nightmare began. They told me that NPV was the reason, or the 31 % rule, they lost paperwork, they stalled and  stalled and then finally sent me a 2 year in-house modification agreement because they said the " investor '' would n't allow this loan to qualify for the HAMP. I made every payment on time and applied for another modification which was turned down. They claimed the loan owner would not allow modification and demanded the balloon payment of {$75000.00}. Help me. Please. ________________

Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
I went through my XXXX XXXX housing information to get a credit report. As they said I should be able to get one free credit report each year. I entered information to get my trans-union report. They give you tabs to get the report and a tab to get the score. No where does it tell you that getting the score is different than getting the report. My lender told me I would have to get my score through this free site. Then I find out they charged me {$20.00} just to look at my score. This is highway robbery and a complete deception. I had to get a little mad at them to get them to refund the money. I was told it would take up to 5 days to refund the money, it sure did n't take them 5 days to take it. This happened 2 days before payday and the {$20.00} was all I had to live on until them plus it was going to pay my gas to get to work. There should be a huge flag warning people they are about to be charged. The was no button to push giving my permission and no $ amount shown.
