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:
I have made multiple attempts to contact the bureau in order to correct the eroneous items on my credit report. I have either not received a response within 30 days and most recently it has been over 60 days without a response or the items have not been investigated due to the fact the dates did not update. I have sent letters XX/XX/20, XX/XX/20, XX/XX/20, and now XX/XX/20. I have multiple bankruptcies reporting on my credit report that have not been filed and the bureau refuses to correct or send proof of these accounts belonging on my report. It is not fair that I am being negatively affected by these mistaken erroneous accounts. I will attach the most recent letter I will be sending out to the bureau.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: WI
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Non-federal student loan
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't decrease my monthly payments

Complaint:
My son attended XXXX XXXX and received private loans from Wells Fargo in addition to Federal loans. Wells Fargo carries the majority of his loans. My complaint is the interest rates these banks charge. I am the co-signer on these loans as well. I believe in paying your student loans, however, I have a problem when I am seeing interest rates of 10.74 %, 6.991 %, 6.490 %, and even 4.490 %. The banks are making way too much money on these student loans and make no attempt to lower these interest rates. I understand banks having to make money, but really??? 10.74 % interest rate!! That seems like gauging to me. I am working with my son now to get these all refinanced into XXXX loan with a better interest rate, but again, the interest that he has been charged over the past 4 years is outrages.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Credit decision / Underwriting

Complaint:
Experienced harassment and unnecessary delays in processing a mortgage from Wells Fargo that resulted in having to walk away from the mortgage. Initially told that I qualified in early meeting XXXX. Provided two years tax statements, paycheck stubs, signed dated gift letters, employment check and credit check info at time of signing early XXXX Had XXXX requests to put gift letter on official form, initial information, provide bank addresses, provide POA letter ( on XXXX different requests weeks apart ) and ALL gifter account numbers ( even though XXXX gifter has already transferred the money ), explain all banking transactions for last 6 months, changed amount personal money required, etc etc. XXXX gifter was told that it was illegal for him to put the gift money into the buyer 's account. Never got a closing date up to less than a week prior to required closing ( XXXX XXXX ) even though every request for information was satisfied within 24hrs of the request. Very Bad experience. Very poor communication. Despite request up front to let us know what was needed, the requests came in piece meal and often several times on the same documents. Never returned calls to elicit the status and requirements. Seemed that since the mortgagee was a single woman, there was indifference to making this process acceptable. Would definitely recommend that individuals seeking mortgages avoid going to Wells Fargo.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Product: Credit card
Issue: Late fee

Complaint:
Hello : It has come to my attention that all or most of the credit card companies collaborated recently to start charging ridiculous late fee and interest charges on the balances, if the due date is on the weekends, when all financial institutions including the credit card companies are closed for business transactions. 
Therefore I would like the CFPB to send a memorandum out to stop this unlawful practice by the credit card companies. Why should their customers send XXXX dollars to them one or two days ahead of the due dates instead of them waiting for the next business day to receive the amounts? 
Your advise and action would be highly appreciated. 
Thanks,

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: CA
Product: Credit card
Issue: Credit determination

Complaint:
I went to the discover card website today to find out if I was pre-approved to apply for XXXX of their credit cards. I know that with this pre-approval, there is a soft inquiry, not a hard XXXX, and they collect information to view my credit report and it does n't affect my credit. I filled out my information as requested and the " Discover It '' credit card came up saying that I would be qualified for this card. I went ahead and applied for the credit card and after I clicked " submit '', they requested even more personal information which I filled out. Then after I clicked " submit '' again, a message came up saying that I needed to apply with someone else as I needed to submit a " joint application ''. I never stated that I wanted to submit a joint application or that I was applying with anyone else or had any interest in applying with anyone else. I stated that I, alone, wanted to apply. I then called customer service, new accounts, and spoke with a manager by the name of XXXX XXXX, ( this is the spelling of his name he gave me ) and explained the situation. He was trying to give me the wrong information by telling me that when someone fills out a " pre-approved '' form, that the credit is not checked or viewed at all. I then told/ him that I know how it works and that I have applied for other credit cards with other banks and they have even told me that they view the credit to let me know if they can offer me a credit card or not, and based on that, they either state which credit card I can apply for or state that they can not offer me a credit card at that time. I stated to him that he was giving me the wrong information so that it did not appear that the bank had made a mistake, but that this was exactly the case. The bank made a mistake. He kept repeating the same thing so I told him that I would be filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau so that you guys knew what they were doing to consumers. I told him that I want them to delete the hard inquiry from my credit report and he refused. So I am filing this complaint to request your assistance so the bank can delete the hard inquiry which should have never been there on the first place, had they not given me the wrong information at the pre-approval screen stating that I could apply for the Discover It credit card.
