Complaint:
On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I sent a certified letter to Chexsystems regarding XXXX items on my consuymer file. In my dispute I asked for Chexsystems to validate this information and provide me with copies of any documentation associated with these accounts. I also, asked that in the absence of any such documentation bearing my signature theat this information be immediately deleted from my file that they maintain under my social security number. On XXXX/XXXX/2016 and XXXX/XXXX/2016 I received letters from Chexsystems stating that their investigation was complete. The letter states that the accounts have been verified as accurate as reported, therefore it would retain in my file. The letter gives me contact information for the bank. It also states that if I request, Chexsystems will provide a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy of the disputed information in my file. On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I called Chexsystems to request the procedure used to verify the accuracy of the disputed information in my file. I spoke with XXXX a representative who stated that they contacted the bank and the bank told them that it was my account. I asked what documentation was received to verify the accountt he was not able to provide me an information to verify the account. I asked if the obtained any documentation bearingmy signature? He stated that if I wanted that documentation I need to contact the bank at the number listed in the letter. I again asked for verification of proof that the account was verified and valid and he could not provide any such documentation. I requested to speak witrh a supervisor. He took my name and number to have a supervisor call me back. Today XXXX/XXXX/2016 I received a call from XXXX a supervisor at Chexsystems. I discussed with XXXX the same infromation as I did with XXXX the previous day. I asked for the procedure and documentation showing this account belonged to me and that they were inacurately reporting information as they are not able to provide documentation bearing my signature. XXXX continued to say that I could contact the bank and I continued to request the process they used to verify the account. I said what did they provide to show it was accurate she stated the bank told them it was verified and accurate. After several attempts to request their procedure and documentation I considered it a failed attempt and advised XXXX that I would be contacting the Consumber Financial Protection Bureau. She stated to give her a minute and placed me on hold and then came back and stated that I needed to contact the bank for verification. My XXXX account is still pending. On XXXX/XXXX/16 I placed a security freeze on my file.

Product: Prepaid card

Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
I purchased XXXX XXXX My Cash Cards on XX/XX/XXXX in CVS for {$500.00} each, total {$1500.00}. When I tried to load them to my XXXX account several days later, XXXX of XXXX cards I bought had issue to load, one of them loaded successfully. I contacted XXXX and tried to resolve this, they asked me to contact a company called InComm, said it 's their partner to handle XXXX Cash. After multiple failed attempts, I finally reached InComm, and they mentioned they will look into it. Then after several months I did n't hear from them, I contact InComm again, they asked me to send copies of my XXXX Cash Card, a bill has my address and driver 's license. After sent all my files, they promised to open an investigation and update me for the case, and gave me a case number but I never heard from them for anything relate to my case for serval months. I almost lost my hope to get my money back, then finally got hold of their customer service again, and the representative on the phone told me the case was closed, and they are not talking to me unless a law enforcement agent contact them, but she 's sure {$1000.00} on my two cards have been loaded to a different account, not mine. She keeps blaming me and said I 'm the one responsible if someone " stole '' my cards, and I told her my cards are with me, and the time when I tried to load them to my account, I was the one who scratched those cards to see the PIN, and I never shared the PIN with anyone! 
After the unpleasant conversation, I did some research online, and found out I 'm not the only victim of this potential fraud. A lot of people posted online they had similar experiences. For example, one case I found on XXXX website, it 's a complaint filed by XXXX, XXXX CASE # : XXXX, it 's basically the same experience I 'm having. And he even posted on his blog of findings he had that InComm had security breach and their own employee potentially stole customer 's money. 

One of his post can be found through this link : https : XXXX I strongly believe this is a systematically flaw in XXXX 's system if not an intentionally scam. Please help me to recover my money lost and investigate InComm for their wrong doing and hostile treatment towards customer, {$1000.00} is a big amount of money for me, you are my only hope! 

Thank you for your help!

Company: Movement Mortgage LLC
State: LA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
Received a purchase / construction mortgage from Movement Mortgage in XXXX XXXX. That loan was for the property purchase ( $ XXXX ) and renovation funds of XXXX $ XXXX XXXX for a total loan amount of {$180000.00}. Contractor did n't start work until XXXX XXXX. Worked four weeks, was paid $ XXXX from construction fund. After receiving payment the contractor abandoned site. Found a replacement contractor. Movement Mortgage wo n't release any of the remaining construction funds to the new contractor or to me to pay the contractor. They wo n't even work with me to refinance the original loan for the new contractor 's contract price. The new price is higher than the original contractor 's price, since major damage was caused by that contractor and now has to be fixed under the new contractor contract. In the interim I am required to pay monthly principle and interest on the remaining construction funds they are holding and wo n't release toward any construction. This has created a complete STOP on renovations of our home and has created much over costs since we can not move into our house. Since Movement Mortgage wo n't do anything for us, we have found a local Bank that maybe able to payoff Movement and issue a new mortgage. Movement after too many requests, refuses to give me payoff amounts on my existing loan. They wo n't give me any actual numbers. They continue to refer me to my mortgage statement balance which includes the remaining $ XXXX construction funds that they are holding and wo n't release but demand that I pay monthly on. 
The attorney that I have hired to sue the first contractor, spoke to an attorney at Movement Mortgage who gave a reason for not doing anything for us was that they were afraid I was going to sue Movement Mortgage. As of this writing Movement mortgage wo n't return my calls or respond to me. I want to have this situation investigated as to the legal right of Movement Mortgage to keep funds and demand that I pay principle and interest on those funds. Also to refuse to submit proper payoff accounting of my loan so I can move forward with a fairer and more reasonable lender.

Complaint:
While I 'm waiting for XXXX to be re-opened, another issue has arisen. I asked Synchrony Bank to allocate payments to XXXX charges on my account that expired in XX/XX/XXXX. They complied with my request, however, then they sent me 35 emails and a letter via postal service to confirm they had allocated the payments. Is it their standard company procedure to notify a customer that their request has been completed by sending 35 emails and a letter?

Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
I have three promotional offer accounts with Syncrony Bank. All of these accounts provide a minimum monthly payment. I recently discovered that my hh gregg account through Syncrony Bank has been providing me with a monthly minimum amount which did not provide me with a monthly minimum amount to meet the promotional offering of zero percent interest and are now charging me 30 percent interest retroactively which is almost the amount of the original purchase amount. Since my other promotional accounts with Syncrony always provided a minimum monthly amount to avoid hefty interest charges, for some reason Syncrony provided me with a lower amount for this hh gregg account so that I would miss the promotional deadline so they could charge me an enormous amount of interest. I have tried to work this out with them but they refuse to acknowledge any responsibility of their part.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CO
Product: Credit card
Issue: Credit card protection / Debt protection

Complaint:
Barclays took over my XXXX XXXX card with XXXX points XX/XX/XXXX. From the moment the account transferred over I have not been able to open an online account, set up autopay, see my charges or pay my bill because their entire system is based on your social security number, and for some reason it takes 3-5 business days for them to record it. What is disturbing is that mine does n't work because someone else is using my social security number on their account. It has been over 7 months and Barclay 's still has not resolved the issue. I even faxed them a copy of my social security card, at their request, but no one ever confirmed they got it, it is just lost in their company somewhere. Because of this I can not open an online account. I have to call to check my charges, and call in to make a payment, first I have to go through a series of transfers and holds, it takes 45 min - 1 hr, my identity is questioned ad nauseam, then they finally realize the situation and offer to update my social security number, but the problem is they are not actually able to do this, there is some kind of glitch in their system, and they also can not reassure me that the other person using my social security number has been stopped, in fact they can verify as of tonight that the person is still using it. I ask them to put a stop to it, they say it will take 3-5 business days, and that they will call me back, but it never gets fixed and they never call back. I have to call them and go through the whole process all over again, this has happened 15 times in the last 7 months and there is no end in sight. They even charge me late fees while acknowledging that I can not pay without calling and wasting an hour of my time. Once they charged me the late fee after informing me that I was 10 minutes late calling, because it was based on Eastern Standard Time, even though neither of us was on the east coast. I asked to talk to a manager and was told there was no higher supervisor available, I asked for security and was told that security did n't take phone calls, but then another time I called I was transferred to security even though I did n't ask for it. One of the many managers I spoke to said the only thing I could do was write a letter to their headquarters through snail mail. There is more but I will stop here. At this point I am just going to pay it off and close the account. Their customer service is horrible and their lack of security and execution of tasks is downright frightening. They simply do n't know what they are doing and can not be trusted with money. They should be shut down before they do serious damage.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Investigation took too long

Complaint:
I have been disputing a collection account by XXXX on my credit report for several months. I have uploaded XXXX 's response indicating in response to a debt validation request that it has no information on the account. I have disputed this three times and also done a CFPB complaint against Equifax on this issue, to no avail. 

When I call Equifax and describe the problem, which is that Equifax refuses to conduct any meaningful investigation the representatives, usually in the XXXX launch into a script about the 30-day investigation period. 

Today, I finally reach a representative through three levels of supervisors in the US. Her name is " XXXX '' and her employee number is " XXXX ''. I told XXXX the problem and she stated verbatim that Equifax will continue to report whatever their customer continues to report no matter what. I replied in a recorded phone conversation : " XXXX, I want to be very clear on what you just told me because do not think what you just said is in compliance with the FCRA with regard to Equifax conducting an actual meaningful investigation. In fact it is likely the basis for the majority of complaints agaist Equifax with the CFPB. Assuming that I sent Equifax documentation from that a creditor or collection agent sent me in writing indicating they could not provide any information at all about on an account, but then that creditor comes back and verifies, Equifax will re-report and continue to report even if it is looking at documentation which clearly states the opposite? '' XXXX said, " Yes, that is correct. '' I have gone back and forth with the all of the credit reporting agencies on this point and NEVER would one admit to something like this. Instead, they all dodge the question by reading the script. XXXX has finally been the first person to step forward and honestly state what Equifax ' policy actually is. If you ever have hearings on this matter I am willing to testify to this and back up what I have said above.
