Complaint:
I am now aware that Care Credit has been taking advantage of me and violating my federally protected consumer rights.15 USC1605 states that a finance charge is the sum of all charges in a consumer credit transaction and it does not include cash. Care Credit has been engaging in deceiving and misleading practices and has been illegally billing me every month for the past 22 months ( XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX ). Due to their fraudulent practices, I have struggled every month coming up with the total of {$2000.00} that I have paid them during that time.This has caused me unnecessary stress and financial damage.

Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
I applied for an Ally Bank online savings account on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and transferred, via ACH, {$1000.00}. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I logged on and the screen informed me the account was blocked. I called and was assigned Loss Prevention Specialist XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was told to provide copies of an original social security card, recent mail to my address and a state issued photo id. I supplied a copy of my passport, which expired in XXXX XXXX, plus the other XXXX items requested. I am not going to renew my passport until my hair and eyebrows grow back. I am not planning on making any foreign trips, nor even getting on an airplane for a while. My XXXX make getting my drivers license problematic for the foreseeable future. 
I was informed that the passport was not acceptable since it had expired and I had to provide a " state '' photo id. I asked for an alternative, such as providing a notarized affidavit or something similar. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, late in the evening, XXXX XXXX told me I could not get my opening deposit back either. I specifically asked for the opening deposit to be sent back the way it came. I am sure the transaction shows the routing & accounting numbers of my account at XXXX. She said that was not going to happen. She asked if I wanted to speak with her supervisor. 
XXXX XXXX called on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and left a message for me to call her. I called her back the next day and left a message as XXXX XXXX works an XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX shift. I asked for our communication to be via email or USPS mail going forward so there would be a documentation trail. I also mentioned that I would like for someone to handle this matter for me and asked where I send a power of attorney or how to handle designating a proxy for me. XXXX XXXX left another message for me to call her on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
I mailed a complaint letter to the CEO, XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I have not heard anything as a result, nor do I expect to. I have since taken the opportunity to read the complaints about Ally online and regret not doing my homework beforehand.

My mortgage company raised my monthly payment based on incorrect information. I had changed home owners insurance company and i notified my mortgage company but they did not update the records.

They also are callling me from blocked numbers demanding that I pay any outstandng balances. Each time I tell them that they made an acounting error, they say they " will make a note for future information '' but that note seems to not make it to my file.

Complaint:
Hello, I am reaching out to you because I have sent in disputes to each of the credit bureaus concerning them incorrectly reporting information about me. There are a multitude of accounts that are incorrect or dont even belong to me. It has been 60 days and still no reply, My letters have been not only been faxed, but also uploaded and mail. Yet and still nothing. I am fully aware that we are in the middle of a global pandemic but 60 days and no responses is unacceptable. At this point not only am I being ignored but the credit bureaus are taking advantage of an already difficult situation. If they do not have the manpower to process these requests they should not be reporting. It is quite unfair that as a consumer Im being dragged along.

Company: LAKEVIEW LOAN SERVICING, LLC
State: TX
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
It started in XX/XX/2021, when I was told by Lakeview loan servicing/XXXX  ( they hold my home loan ) that my XXXX mortgage payment got lost, they found out that they move my payment to another account holder without my knowledge. I have never missed any of my mortgage payments and they know because my payment record shows it. They assure me they will fix within the next days, 5 months have passed I call them literally once or twice a week. I have talked to numerous of their agents including supervisors and even agents that supposedly resolve this type of issues, up to this date nothing is been done. Today I spoke to one of their agents and she told I have two days to repay that lost payment, threatening me to report it to the credit bureau, a payment they lost!

I have sent proof of payments from my bank that clearly shows payments posted to Lakeview not only once but several times. They have admitted that they got all my payments but they can not return my money to my account because is still under investigation ( its been under investigation for 4 months ) and I am paying the consequences. They have me over the edge, They have been sending letters threatening to foreclosure! 
I still hope this issue gets resolved soon so we get to enjoy our house we recently purchased.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022 I filed a CFPB complaint that Discover was NOT reporting to the credit bureaus that I have a Discover Account # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as an authorized user. 

I also filed this complaint with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX to confirm with Discover that I am the owner of that account. 
After no proper response I filed the claim again on XX/XX/2022 with Discover, and all 3 credit Bureaus. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, Discover sent me a letter agreeing with all my claims and promised they would provide the proper information to XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. ( see Discover letter attached ). This account is reported on the XXXX of every month and although Discover reported for 4 other authorized users for same account ( see attached XXXX  update showing the Discover account was updated on XX/XX/2022 for another authorized user ) Incredibly Discover has either failed to follow through or the credit bureaus are deliberately withholding the information. Therefore, as my right I am requesting Discover provide me the date they reported the correction to the credit Bureaus including a copy of the AUD form they claim to have submitted to XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX.

State: NJ

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:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Sent a dispute out on XXXX XXXX on the The following Account was charged off as of ( XXXX ) Since then the account has repeatedly been updated as charged off every month. This is an update in the payment history which to my understanding charged off accounts should NOT include an active payment history. Need I remind you this also falsely manipulates the statue of limitations. 

Ive also noticed on the account there were errors in the ( BALANCE ) & ( DATE OF LAST ACTIVITY ) section. Equifax is reporting a balance of {$290.00} with a date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX is reporting a balance of {$0.00} with a date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX is reporting a balance of {$490.00} with a date of last activity as XX/XX/XXXX now all three of these balances and date of last activity cant be accurate. These accounts appear to be furnished by the same creditor so why is all the provided data different? It was there duty to ensure that all information reported is consistent and most importantly accurate and they have failed to do so. So i asked that if they could Please DELETE this erroneous item immediately they reported that it was updated but nothing was changed. 

All in all theres plenty of discrepancies on this one account alone XXXX is reporting the high balance as {$490.00} XXXX is reporting the high balance at {$0.00} and Equifax is reporting it as {$290.00}. Second is the Dola Date XXXX is reporting it as XX/XX/XXXX XXXX is reporting XX/XX/XXXX and equifax is reporting XX/XX/XXXX. Third error is that XXXX is reporting the closed date as XX/XX/XXXX but XXXX  and equifax has no closed date which makes no sense at all if the account status is reporting as a closed/Charge off then whats the closed date? Fourth error is the last payment transunion is reporting it as XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX is reporting it as the same XX/XX/XXXX but equifax is reporting it as XX/XX/XXXX. The Fifth error is the late payment thats being reported XXXX is reporting that there was no late payment in XXXX but equifax is reporting it as 30 days late and in XXXX XXXX is reporting 30 days late but equifax is reporting 60 days and XX/XX/XXXX XXXX is reporting 60 days when equifax is reporting 90 days but XXXX is reporting 90 days late in fed XXXX. There is so many errors on this one account alone that i distorted and came back verified and updated which you can obviously see was not so there for i believe that they should remove the account from my credit file theyve been reporting wrong information on this account for years

Complaint:
Found out Westlake Financial has been listed as fraudulent company, and notorious for bad complaints with consumer affairs. After dealing with this company trying to work a settlement on an account I defaulted on, I see why this companys reputation is so bad. XX/XX/XXXX I called them and tried to work out a settlement offer to get my acct closed. I offered them one amount which was all I had at the time to contribute to the debt, they counter offered me another amount to sif and remove the account from my credit file as long as i made a payment that day via money gram. After making the payment I called back to let them know i was hung up on twice. Then I was told i would receive an email in a couple days confirming that my acct would be sif and removed from my credit file as agreed upon. Two weeks pasted no email no action, another two weeks a month later no email no action. Luckily I was recording the conversation. I called back then I explained to a new person all that happened he told me someone would call me back because I should not of been told they would close out the acct for the amount paid. I told him well they did and that was the agreement, so he said well do you have that in writing I said no I do n't have to. I explained that there were clear fdcpa violations, just in the mini Miranda alone, not to mention the lies I was told and failure to adhere to the terms of the deal we made. But anyway, I told him had it recorded and was recording him, he panicked then said immediately he could no longer speak with me and hung up on me
