Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Loan number :  XXXX  Mortgage company :  Specialized Loan Service ( SLS ) B ought this property in  XXXX   2014  at {>= $1,000,000} ( with PMI ). 15 year fixed and I made some additional payment ( now, the outstanding principal is {$340000.00 } ( lo w to value ratio is below 78 % ). I sent every required doc to SLS and asked them to cancel PMI. They did another round  appraiser ( Broker Price Option, BPO ) and rejected my application. The reason is that they gave an estimated value of {$420000.00}. What they did is ridiculous : they compared my home with recent sal es with much smaller size and lower selling price. If they compared with similar model, no hom e ( same model as mine ) was sold below {$460000.00}. It is simply unfair comparison. Any one has basic  statistic training knows the the importance of picking right sample.     Plus,  XXXX  estimate for my home is around {$530000.00}. Even thou gh it may overestimates, I can not believe they came with this number.

Issue: Closing/Cancelling account

Complaint:
I attempted to use my JCPenney credit card on XXXX/XXXX/15 and I was humiliated when my purchase was rejected. I was told to call a XXXX number. I called the XXXX number and I was told my account had been closed for " inactivity ''. I was told I must use my JCPenney card within 6 months or my account would be closed. 
I used my JCPenney card within 5 months without a problem, my account was still open in XXXX 2015 when I used my JCPenney card. 
I attempted to use my JCPenney card again on XXXX XXXX, 2015 and JCPenney had closed my account fraudulently. 
My account should NOT have been closed and this will be reported on my credit report as JCPenney account " closed '' due to inactivity which is NOT true. 
Prior to my account being closed, JCPenney also decreased my credit limit without notification. I was not notified as to why my credit limit had been decreased. 
JCPenney is conducting fraudulent activity to decrease customers credit limit without their knowledge and close their accounts when customers are not aware of their 6 month " inactivity '' rule. I was told I have to reapply for a credit card. 
My JCPENNEY credit card was used within their 6 month " inactivity '' rule my account should NOT have been " CLOSED ''. 
My JCPENNEY account should be re-opened and my information should NOT be reporting on my credit report as " closed '' due to " inactivity '', this is fraudulent information reporting on my credit report and my account was " closed '' fraudulently by JCPenney.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NY
Product: Credit card
Issue: Rewards

Complaint:
When I got my Wyndham Rewards Visa Signature card last year, XXXX of the terms on the card was that on every anniversary, I will receive XXXX Wyndham Rewards points. The anniversary is in XX/XX/XXXX ( so its almost 4 months into the year now ) and I still have n't received my rewards points. I initially reached out to Wyndham and they redirected me to Barclays bank because Barclays bank services the card. I reached out to Barclays several times in the past couple of months and they keep asking me to wait. When I called in XX/XX/XXXX they told me that the points will be credited on XX/XX/2016. Today is XX/XX/2016 and that has n't happened so I called them again and again same story where another team handles the issue and the customer service team ca n't really do anything to expedite the process. As a customer I expect the points to be credited in a timely manner without me having to follow up several times. In exceptional scenarios when things go wrong and I do have to follow up, I expect customer service to solve the issue on the first call and/or give me a definitive date on when it will be resolved - not just kicking the can down the road expecting the customer to eventually give up. I want to use these points to book a reservation for an upcoming trip and ca n't because Barclays would n't credit it in a timely manner.

Complaint:
Hello, XX/XX/2011 I filed for bankruptcy ( Chapter XXXX ). To my understanding, the law firm handling my case said that the derogatory mark will fade off my reporting history within 7 years. I now know that that was false information. I was about XXXX years old and did not have any understanding of how credit worked. The amount that went into Bankruptcy was about {$10000.00}, something I could have paid off over time had I known about debt consolidation. I now am credit savvy and have kept a 99 % payment history on a line of credit of {$42000.00} since reopening a credit line nearly three years ago. 

I hired a credit repair company to help me with this removal but after 8 months of slow progress and money spent I decided it would make more sense to try myself. So I personally reached out to Transunion, XXXX, & XXXX but to no avail. 

Due to this global pandemic with COVID-19 the economy is in a very rocky state and I just want to secure a house for me and my family. I want to finally become a homeowner. I hope we can come to a solution so I can boost my score and finally begin my homeownership process with the best interest rates that good credit can provide.
