Company: Lendmark Financial Services
State: CA
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I opened a loan with this company XX/XX/XXXX. I fell on hard times and entered into a credit counseling program in XXXX or XXXX of that year. The terms of my loan were to lower the payments to $ XXXX and the interest rate was supposed to be lowered from 35.23 % to 21.92 %. I noticed my balance wasn't going down over time so I called to inquire why. The rep told me because the loan was so new that I'd have to make more payments and wait until XXXX before it would be recalculated and any payments applied. I felt that didn't sound right but at the time was going through a divorce and health issues so I didn't look into it further. 

Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX I pulled my credit report and noticed the balance on the loan balance has been increasing each month since XX/XX/XXXX rather than going down. I logged into the online portal and saw my interest rate was still 35.23 %, and monthly finance charges were {$200.00} which was the same amount of the monthly payments. I reached out to the debt management company and they contacted Lendmark and were informed my account was under review as the error was just realized in XXXX of this year. 

As of XXXX a credit of {$4800.00} was credited to my account, the interest rate lowered to 21.92 % and the current balance {$2200.00}. I called and asked ify account had been adjusted back to XXXX and I was told yes. I requested a detailed audit/breakdown of payments/credits and that my credit profile be updated according. The rep said there wasn't a breakdown, the account was credited accordingly and that I need to submit the dispute in writing. Informed rep if adjustments have been made I'm entitled to proof so that I can be sure they are accurate. Rep stated she could send me a copy of what she has. I received the copy and it shows nothing in detail, just the amount of the credits. 

I called the 800 # and the rep wasn't helpful, kept trying to refer me to debt management company and told me they'd have a detailed record of what transpired. I explained the situation, the rep then pulled up my account and realized what I was saying. She put me on hold to call the branch. I was told the branch manager was busy and I'd get a callback. I did about an hour later but was unable to answer due to work. 

Bottom line is my account was not handled properly. The failure to apply the correct interest rate in XXXX has negatively affected my credit. I should be able to see a breakdown of the payments applied, credits given and monthly balance since XX/XX/XXXX. Also, since it's Lendmarks error they should update my credit report accordingly.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/23, I found out that my XXXX by Goldman Sachs XXXX account was locked, after attempting to transfer money out of XXXX to my account at another bank. Reached out to XXXX customer support, and they informed me that my phone number does not associate with my name ( a false statement, especially after I confirmed it with my XXXX ) and that they can not unlock my account without a signed mailed affidavit. This process alone would take over a month. 

After researching online, I found that many other XXXX by XXXX customers are experiencing the same difficulties with withdrawing their savings from XXXX. The prevalence of such issues makes me realize that the firm has been intentionally delaying cash withdrawals.

Complaint:
My divorce was just recently final and I was in a very toxic, abusive marriage. I had zero control of bills, emails or anything of importance. After I escaped and filed for divorce I started getting letters in the mail from all different credit card companies. Here to find out these were open XXXX from my ex husband and he had all the statements coming paperless. My attorney has filed contempt charges and fraud charges are reported also. The 3 credit reports are attached that show all these credit cards in my name and they were not opened nor used by me. This is causing a major problem as I am receiving calls non stop and even to my employer. Can you please help with this?

Complaint:
This account with XXXX XXXX was previously disputed and removed. It was replaced on account. I have NOT had XXXX services since XXXX. My account was XXXX. 
In XXXX my son was 6 months old, my husband grandma lived with us and our service was CUT for non payment. His grandma flipped out crying she couldnt watch her soaps. Soon after we changed to dish network as a promo with our cell phone plan. I know for a fact this happened then because she died in XXXX as well as birth of my son. Prior to XXXX, we were often in delinquent status. Federal law ( US Code Title 15, 1681c ) controls the behavior of credit reporting agencies ( CRAs ). The specific law is called the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Under FCRA 605 ( a ) and ( b ), an account in collection will appear on a consumers credit report for up to 7 years.To determine when an account will be removed by the CRAs ( TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX and others ), add 7 years to the date of first delinquency. The date of first delinquency is shown in credit reports. Subsequent activity, such as resolving the debt or one debt collector selling the debt to another collector, is irrelevant to the 7-year rule. Being this is PAST my 7 year mark since first delinquency plus was previously disputed and removed, Transunion is in wrong to replace. XXXX is changing dates.
