State: GA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
SPS ( loan XXXX ) has not been up front with me about the process of loan modification. When I speak to someone at the company ... they say they have all the information they need then a few days after we speak I will get a letter saying they need more information. When I send in the additional info they say they need ... they wait a couple weeks, then call me and tell me they need it ALL over again because the info they have is now too old. At least every other day, sometimes more, I get a phone call from SPS and the person always hangs up the second I answer the phone which is very odd. I will call back and they say they have no record of this. They are purposely trying to dodge me in order to foreclose, which is not right. They have a modification process but they never allow me to finish it or block me from doing so. I became behind on my mortgage which is at SPS or Select Portfolio Servicing. The home is my former primary residence at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I moved my family away from this home to a better school district 5 years ago. I could not sell the home at the time, as in 2012 the mortgage was more than the home was worth. I lost the renter for several months which caused me to become behind on my payments. I have never asked for anything for free, just to add the missed payments into the back of the loan. The problem with all this is that SPS has been evasive and they want to foreclose. They are not trying to help in an way and not even following their own rules and regulations that they sent me early on. Thank you, XXXX

Complaint:
I have numerous unauthorized inquiries on all three of my credit reports ( XXXX, Equifax, XXXX  ) that I have been fighting to be removed from my credit. I have disputed this with each of the credit bureaus above for almost a year with no results. I have asked for validation such as a signed credit application with my original signature which I have not been granted as of yet. According to the FCRA 15 US Code 1681, the only way to access my credit report is if I have given permissible purpose to do so. I HAVE NOT given any permission to anyone to make an inquiry with my credit which deems this impermissible and therefore should be deleted.

Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
I have been attempting to dispute practices and false reporting by CitiBank NA on my closed account. Because of my complaints against them, CitiBank flagged my account in XXXX and increased the balance for fees/interest/ other which exceed the total of the credit line even though the account has been closed for years. I received notification from XXXX that CitiBank flagged my account in XXXX, and it resulted in another major credit score drop. CitiBank, being the predatory lender they are is attempting to ruin my credit even further than they already have. There should be no new flags or costs associated with this account since it has been closed for years, and per Citi was transferred to a collection agency over 3 years ago.

Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
Based on prior conversations and information posted on the FedLoan Servicing website, I was advised that consolidation of Direct Consolidation student loans and Direct Parent Plus loans would result in resetting the PSLF qualifying payment count to zero. On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a PSLF application without consolidating my two Direct Consolidation loans with my Direct Parent Plus loans. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter stating that I was not eligible yet to receive forgiveness. A representative from FedLoan Servicing informed me that the payment count was not reflecting the Limited PSLF waiver update and also advised me not to consolidate the Direct Consolidation loans with the Direct Parent Plus loans. On XX/XX/XXXX I received forgiveness on the two Direct Consolidation loans. On XX/XX/XXXX, the Department of Education posted on their studentaid.gov website the following information : " Under the limited waiver your consolidation loans will receive credit for time in repayment on your loans with different counts. Your consolidation loan will be credited with at least the largest number of payments on the loans that were consolidated. '' Shortly after XX/XX/XXXX, it was confirmed by a consolidation specialist at FedLoan Servicing that I would have received forgiveness on all on my loans had I consolidated prior to submitting the PSLF application.

My husband and I - have been trying to work with NMAC to resolve our loan issues, but to this point, we have not had any resolution. What we would like to do is settle this account - for an agreeable amount. Which would require NMAC management to be willing to accept less than the balance to settle the loan. We are military veterans and feel we have not to be helped. We need NMAC to offer help and assistance to resolve these issues - because at this point we are having a really hard -time. If we could settle this loan for XXXX or so - that would be a great help for us.

Company: Genesis FS Card Services, Inc.
State: SC
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX  when I get paid i call all my credit cards and pay those which are due that week to keep them current. On XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, I call Genesis FS Card Services for two of my cards. My Indigo and Milestone accounts. On both Accounts ( and I have this recorded if you want to hear it to be true ) The message I got was my MINIMUM due was the TOTAL amount due on the card. This set off my panic button and i paid {$200.00} on each card where normally i would pay the minimum due of {$40.00}. That is alot of my paycheck to pay on just two cards. To make matters worse the company has a policy that it may take up to 10-14 days for your to get access to your money. The payments cleared my bank on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX. tI am a on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and need money for gas having put {$400.00} on two credit cards wiped out my ability to buy gas so I called Genesis FS Card Services on or about XX/XX/XXXX and they were able to release the funds on My Indigo card. However, by the next week on XXXX XXXX, I once again needed gas money and the funds were yet to be released on my Milestone account. I waited over 45 minutes on the phone for a manager and then they said they would call back. They never did so I called back later that night. They said there was nothing they could do at all and the funds would not be released until Friday XX/XX/XXXX. The system error was corrected on the Indigo card phone system as of XX/XX/XXXX as it gave the correct minimum due of {$40.00}. When i called and once again recorded the Milestone account card on XX/XX/XXXX the system ( almost two weeks Later is still telling customers their minimum due is their total amount due - I have it recorded as proof ) When a company incorrectly bills their customers and has absolutely no means to fix the error to financially improve the situation of their client that is a big miss for the business. I will give the company time to respond to this complain before I share if further on social media as people need to know how this company treats its clients.

I am a victim of identity theft and I have submitted a notarized affidavit which serves as a legal document to my identity theft.

Consumer complaint received 2021-04-18
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 I sent Equifax a letter via certified mail and received a signature upon delivery on XX/XX/2021 as shown by the attached signature image and a screenshot of tracking history provided by the postal service. I have needlessly sent a second letter to an updated address since I briefly believed that their failure to respond was due to not having received the dispute letter mailed on XX/XX/2021. However upon receiving the proof of signature by an agent, I now know that thats not the case. 

In both letters I demanded that 2 credit lines and 2 hard inquiries be deleted from my report since Under 15 USC 1681b Permissible purposes of consumer reports ( a ) IN GENERAL Subject to subsection ( c ) any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( 2 ) in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

I never gave EQUIFAX written consent to report anything on my consumer report, no consent is identity theft.

In accordance with 15 USC 1681i. ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) - if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a consumer 's file at a consumer reporting agency is disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a reseller of such dispute, the agency shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from the file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or reseller.

Clearly, federal law requires Equifax to respond to my dispute within 30 days of the dated return receipt, which I have attached. They have failed to respond within that time period in violation of my consumer rights via the FCRA and must now delete the disputed items of information mentioned in the original letter, which I have also attached.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX XXXX am : I received a notice from JP Morgan Chase Bank XXXX that a debit/prepaid Atm card had be approved and issued in my name. I knew this was an issue as I had not asked for authorized one for approval. 

Upon calling Chase and Talking to fruad shortly an hour thereafter, it was soon discovered that a new College Checking account was created and that 3 transfers in the amounts of : {$8500.00}, {$6800.00}, and {$4600.00} were already pending to this new College Checking account ( coming from my Own Premier Checking Account ) with corresponding withdraws taking place simultaneously. Upon numerous calls to Fraud for these transfers to be blocked, they were eventually allowed even though they were fraudulent. Chase Bank personnel were constantly confused as they didn't know whom they were talking too and eventually asked me to visit a branch to prove my identity ( they failed to ask for proper identification such as passcodes over the phone ). 

Upon visiting local branch on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, it was revealed by bankers, that the Fraudulent account was opened in Florida using my social security number and likely forged ID. Since the transfers were considered going from my account to my account, the initial claim was rejected even though the fraudulent account was not opened by me ( withdraw slip clearly states XXXX XXXX who I do not know ). 

With nearly {$20000.00} stolen from me instantly, it has caused a lot of issues, such as payday and mortgage needing to be rerouted as well as Chase credit cards being paid in person. 

I have called Chase numerous times to ask for a clear explanation as to how this could have happened but have not received a satisfactory answer. The first banker I spoke too, revealed that the account was already on high alert before the Fraudulent account was opened, as someone had called Chase impersonating me telling them he had my social and asked the balance but then hung up when asked for a passcode, he even tried twice! What is frustrating, is that Chase asked me if I knew the thief XXXX XXXX several times. 

There is currently a police report : XXXX filed with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and a detective investigating this.
