Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MI
Product: Credit card
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint:
I once had a credit card with Fifth Third bank, which was closed bank in XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX a charge that was stored on an online account automatically tried charging the card for the renewed subscription. Instead of Fifth Third bank declining the transaction they reopened my closed credit card without my permission. Finally, after three months of not contacting me via phone, email, or mail, I received a letter in the mail saying I owed the charge of {$77.00} ( for the service ) and an extra {$100.00} for late fees. After countless hours on the phone with them, they acknowledged my credit card was closed and they reopened it. I offered to pay the initial {$77.00} fee if they would waive the late fee for not informing me, or without reopening it without my permission. They said they would look into the dispute into a better solution. After about another month they sent back a letter saying the dispute was denied and I owed the entire fee. When I called back to ask how it could have been denied, since they reopened a closed account, they said the 120 day period has passed and there is nothing they could do about it. I have since discarded the credit card because I had no use for it after I had closed the account in XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint:
Experian says they are looking for an agent to conduct an investigation, but no agent contacts me, and I have called several times. I know the errors and can save the agent a lot of time. Basically I believe I am either a victim of identity theft, fraud or Experian has my report mixed up with someone else. They don't even have XXXX of the XXXX of my real creditors, but they do have a lot of creditors that are not mine and are never paid. 

I have a XXXX Relations Dispute Reference Number and case number, but I want to talk to or communicate to a real person.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
My federal student loans that were being serviced by XXXX XXXX, were transferred to XXXX. Since then, XXXX has been reporting on the loans as my new student loan servicer. My problem is that Equifax refuses to remove the XXXX XXXX loans from my credit report, despite those loans no longer existing with XXXX XXXX. This has resulted in double reporting the same loans and making my debt balance appear falsely high. They are currently reporting the XXXX XXXX loans ( that were transferred to XXXX ), and the XXXX loans. I have disputed the XXXX XXXX accounts XXXX and both times, despite providing adequate documentation, they refuse to remove the information from my credit report. I am told that the reason they are not removing it from my credit report, is because the lender has authenticated the loan, which is not true. I have reached out to XXXX XXXX, and they guarantee me, that I do not have anything under my name in their system and that nobody from Equifax has contacted them. 
Both times that I have filed a dispute with Equifax, at the end of the dispute, they falsely update the last reported date from XXXX XXXX on my credit report. The last reported update is always on the day the dispute was closed. 
The credit report from Equifax attached will show that the XXXX and XXXX loans are the same. If you look at the corresponding account number for each loan, you will see that the date opened and high credit amount are the same for both XXXX and XXXX XXXX. 
I do not have this issue with the other credit bureaus, only Equifax is doing

State: IL
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I made a {$100.00} cash deposit into my checking via ATM location # XXXX located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, IL. This ATM belongs to Fifth Third Bank. A deposit slip printed from the ATM showing my correct ATM card number, the date, and the deposit amount of {$100.00}. The following business day, I checked my online access account with Fifth Third Bank. The deposit had not posted. I called the XXXX branch office at XXXX and explained the situation to the teller who answered. I was advised that I would need to call XXXX and file a dispute. I called and filed. Case number XXXX was opened for me via the Disputes Resolution Dept. and I was issued a provisional credit for {$100.00} in my checking account on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I was provided with a letter regarding this transaction. 
On XXXX/XXXX/2015 I logged into my Fifth Third online access account and found the {$100.00} had been debited from my account with the description " reversal of dispute provisional credit ''. I also received in the mail a letter dated XXXX/XXXX/15 that Fifth Third Bank had denied my dispute because they had determined the ATM to be in balance. I called the Disputes Resolution department immediately and was advised to bring my ATM receipt into the branch where the deposit was made. I went to the branch on XXXX/XXXX/15 and sat down with personal banker, XXXX XXXX, and we together made a call to the Dispute Resolutions dept. where we were instructed to fax a copy of my ATM deposit receipt to XXXX. The fax was made and I was sent home with no timeframe of completion. I followed up with the disputes resolution dept. on XXXX/XXXX/15 to verify the fax was received and to determine a timeframe in resolving my dispute. I was advised the fax was ( 1 ) received, but ( 2 ) my claim was still denied because the ATM was found to be in balance. I followed up with an email to XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/15 letting him know the findings. I have not been offered any help in resolving this matter. 
I find it to be absolutely unacceptable from a customer service standpoint that a deposit can be made into an ATM, a proof of deposit receipt is provided, and yet the {$100.00} is missing. The XXXX branch has provided absolutely no service at this point. The denying of my dispute by the Dispute Resolution dept after providing solid proof is also unacceptable.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
I 'm writing to report illegal interest charges on my mortgage account with Freedom Mortgage. I refinanced with Freedom Mortgage, and my closing date was XXXX/XXXX/2016. On XXXX/XXXX/2016, I sent in payments totaling {$6300.00} to cover my statements due for XXXX 2016, XXXX 2016, and XXXX 2016. In addition to sending in these advanced payments, I e-mailed the company to ensure they knew that my payments were meant to be put towards future months, and that as a result, I should not be charged interest for the months of XXXX and XXXX because I 've paid for those months in advance. However, for the past three weeks, I 've been calling Freedom Mortgage because they 've applied my payments incorrectly and have charged me an additional {$1700.00} in interest for the months of XXXX and XXXX, which have not even arrived yet. At the time of my payment on XXXX/XXXX/2016, I had n't even reached the XXXX/XXXX/2016 due date for the XXXX payment. When I called in to speak to several supervisors ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ), they each have told me that even though I 've paid for XXXX and XXXX well in advance of those months accruing, they are charging me interest regardless. There have been exactly XXXX days between my XXXX payment and my XXXX and XXXX payments, which means that I have accrued exactly {$0.00} in interest for those months based on the terms of my loan, however, it is nearly a month since I 've been going back and forth with this company to have this corrected. XXXX even told me that I was not allowed to send in more than 3 months of payments in advance towards my account. I would like to file a formal complaint with the State of New Jersey and all appropriate government agencies related to this problem. Please contact me as soon as possible to help me resolve this problem.

Sub-issue: Delay in processing application

Complaint:
I applied for a Chase card on XX/XX/2022. I called today XX/XX/2022 to find out my application has been archived because its been over 30 days. I found out that there was some incorrect information on my credit application but I was never notified of the application. 

I was told to reapply - my credit is excellent but the issue is that hard pulls on credit reports can impact your credit score. Seems strange to not notify your applicants of issues or perhaps not deny them after those 30 days. I believe ECOA laws prevent this from happening after the 30 day mark. 

I would love any help and hopefully this isn't happening to anyone else if there is something strange going on here.

Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I have a home loan through Lakeview loan servicing llc and  make monthly payments on this mortgage of a little over {$1000.00} each month. Over {$300.00} are taken out each month for an escrow account ( property taxes and insurance ). The property taxes on this property were due before XX/XX/XXXX. Lakeview has failed to pay them. I have contacted Lakeview loan servicing llc 9 times since XX/XX/XXXX and spent countless hours on hold to get the run around and absolutely no where with them. Here we are 2 delinquent notices later ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and they have not paid property taxes out of escrow. They have told me multiple times on the phone that they would get them paid in 3 business days but they have failed to do so. In XXXX I faxed them the first delinquent notice with a letter and cover letter after they had requested me to do so. They still failed to pay it once they recieved it. They are taking my money each month and are failing to do their job and pay my property taxes in a timely manner. Attached are the documents I faxed them. 

Thanks, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
I have prepaid my flood insurance for 3 years and my home insurance for the year. Every month I pay for both flood and home owners insurance despite submitting proof that they have been paid in full. I have contacted there escrow department over a dozen times. They fail to respond unless severe persistent measures are taken. I have called, sent emails, even certified letters. My insurance company has contacted them. They have confirmed they have gotten the documents and yet, every month I am still overbilled. They overpaid my property taxes by XXXX, which when asked by the XXXX clerk she has no idea why they did it. I feel its unreasonable that I, nor anyone else should be forced to used a lending carrier that cant even bill every month correctly. If they can not handle paying the appropriate people ie my insurance company, the tax borough and whomever else I should not be forced to have incompetence controlling my finances.
