Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Complaint:
PenFed is reporting a credit card ( XXXX XXXX # XXXX ) to the credit bureau. I went to PenFed in XXXX XXXX last year and told them that PenFed is reporting a credit card that I don't recognize to the credit bureau. They told me that all my account are up to date in good standing. I gave then a copy of the report and then they started the investigation. A few month ago they recognized that there was a flaw in the sistem and they corrected the issue. PenFed again this month reported it as un paid amount around {$60.00} and with interest is close to {$290.00}. This acount appears for the first time in my penfed account a few weeks ago. All my PenFed account are up to date except that one they add to my account, I have actually 3 cars loan, 3 credit card with them in good standing... And now it appears in my account that credit card with negative results. I contact them via phone and they told me that that what the system shows... I personal went to PenFen in XXXX XXXX to report this issue AGAIN... I can't believed it!!! It takes common sense that for {$60.00} XXXX will mess my credit and my other account is in outstanding. I'm in the process to by a house and now is in hold till I resolved this issue... Please can you expedite this case thanks in advance...

Company: ENSURE HOME LOANS LLC
State: GA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint:
The complaint XXXX raised against XXXX was closed because XXXX  pointed the issue towards origination and that is Ensure homes.So raising this complaint. 

We went through 2 weeks of severe mental stress and loss of health because of negligence by Ensure home loans. We also ended up paying higher interest rate of 3.75 % versus 3.25 % which was originally promised to us, Ensure did not close the house on the scheduled date nor communicated to me in advance that we will not meet the closing date. Me and my family was in panic mode and was in stress to loose {$25000.00} earnest money. We were are sellers mercy. 

Below are the details of the problem : We were referred to the XXXX XXXX organization -Ensure Home Loans LLC by our realtor and we started working with them from XX/XX/XXXX. This company with our permission, locked the Interest Rate for the home purchase with XXXX XXXX at 3.25 % for 30 year loan -7 1/2 ARM with 20 % down payment. We got the appraisal report from XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX for home ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX ) appraised for {$960000.00} with sale price being {$910000.00}. We also got the closing disclosure issued to us by XXXXEnsure Loans on XX/XX/XXXX on-track for scheduled closing date XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX/Ensure did not provide final CTC ( Clear to Close ) and we could not close the home as scheduled on XX/XX/XXXX. We did not get any information from them on the problem or the ETA to fix the problem. Finally on XX/XX/XXXX ( after 2 days of passing closing date ) we were told that the XXXX team got the appraisal report changed by same appraiser to {$800000.00} from previous {$960000.00}. Our family went through severe stress for 2 weeks as we were told to lose the XXXX XXXX earnest money, not knowing if we will be buying this house. Finally I had to take the problem on my shoulders to escalate the bank via emails via XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX presidents of XXXX to get some attention from XXXX. They apologized for the service breakdown and revised the product and finally I ended up paying higher interest rate and additional PMI every month. 

Questions : 1. Why no one from Ensure Home Loans or XXXX were worried about NOT meeting the closing and why are they so careless that the customer might loose {$25000.00}? 
2. Why was I not informed in advance that we will miss the closing date? 
3. Why was I not communicated on problems in appraisal report in advance? 
4. Why was the appraiser asked to change the home value by {$160000.00}? That too the same appraiser within the span of 10 days? 
5. How are we going to compensate the severe mental stress I went through for 2 weeks and financial loss due to institution 's negligence?

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021, I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day, over 30 days later, I have not received a response yet. I feel like Im being taken advantaged of and being ignored. Section 611 ( a ), It states that failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. Its been over 30 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you have caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX I entered in a consolidation agreement with a XXXX XXXX XXXX to consolidate my student loans with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I contacted XXXX and was informed that my student loans would be in forberance while the loan was getting consolidated and paid by XXXX which would take around 2 months. The loans were consolidated and XXXX was paid in XX/XX/XXXX. However, XXXX has since then continuously reported 60 days late on my credit profile even though I should have had a temporary forberance period. I have written to XXXX to request a good faith removal as this was not reported accurately. XXXX refuse to XXXX my request. XXXX has reported 60 days late in XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX and Transunion credit reporting agency and has reported to XXXX 60 days late for XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX even though they were paid and the accounts closed in XX/XX/XXXX. Their report on my credit profile are inconsistent and incorrect as some loans state late XX/XX/XXXX and others state late XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. They have reported the loans were paid XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX agency and XX/XX/XXXX to another agencies. These dates are not consistent. The reporting is inaccurate. XXXX was paid off in XX/XX/XXXX, so how can they report 60 day late for both XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Please I urge someone to look into this company 's and credit reporting agency unfair credit reporting practices.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Application denied

Complaint:
I applied for a Verizon Credit Card ( Synchrony Bank ) on XXXX ( Reference Number : XXXX ) and was denied with a claim that my credit was " frozen '' through the credit reporting agency, XXXX. The freeze had been lifted two days prior to the application. I called Synchrony Bank and was told to reapply so they could transfer me to the underwriting department to address the issue " real time '' and help expedite my application. I applied a second time on XXXX and was still denied based on applying too quickly between applications. The policy apparently requires that you wait 30 days before reapplying. After calling again on XXXX, I was told to wait on a letter with a reference number and call back so that the denial issue could be addressed at that time. I received my first and only letter on XXXX ( Reference Number : XXXX ) which was based on the second application. The reason for denial on that letter was : " Prior application submitted too recently ''. I called Synchrony Bank again on XXXX and spoke with a fraud department manager who instructed me to apply again while we were on the line and she would be able to help process application immediately. After being put on hold for several minutes, she then instructed me that I would need to wait another month ( until XXXX ) before reapplying since it had not been 30 days since the last application. She thought that an override of the waiting period could be made on her part but was clearly not the case. This is the most frustrating credit card application process I have ever dealt with. Also, I am very unhappy that my credit score was " dinged '' three times without being approved and if I apply again at the end of XXXX it would be a total of four times. The manager assured me she would remove the credit reporting " dings '' and would like to verify this has in fact been accomplished. I am a brand new Verizon customer and simply want to use the Verizon credit card to pay my bill each month ( instead of my checking account ) so that points can be earned. My credit score is in the 800s and I pay all my credit cards on autopay each month in full. It definitely should not be this difficult to apply and achieve a credit card approval through this bank. Very disappointing and frustrating to say the least.

Complaint:
I made a uniformed decision on XX/XX/2017 when I entered the mentioned consumer transaction. At the time I was not aware of the money or costs it will cost me personal, financially, physically, and mentally, to do any business or extend my credit to this company. I didnt understand the meanings and it was not clear and conspicuous to me at the time. Because of there is no evidence of a debt only these papers of some type of copied papers of statements. The agreement should be voided because I made a uniformed decision and didnt understand. I could have made a better choice if I knew the details in full. 

There has to be more of a better understanding for consumers in these types of situations.
