State: AL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I called  XXXX  who is the services my student loans multiple times to figure out why I have over  XXXX  late payments on my student loans. I explained to the agent that my loans were in forbearance and deferment which means I was not obligated to pay the student loans those times because my payments were put on hold for the forbearance. The agent agreed that in  XXXX  my loans were in fact in forbearance, but  XXXX  would not remove the late payments. The agent then proceeded to tell me to contact the credit bureaus to see if they can remove them or wait the  XXXX  years so they can fall off my credit report. I do not think it is right to penalize someones credit worthiness by putting late payments on their student loans when they were not obligated to pay due to forbearance and deferment. I contacted all three credit bureaus and asked if they can delete the late payments. They all declined and informed me that the original creditor would have to remove the payments. I feel as though this issue will never get resolved

Company: Mobiloans, LLC
State: OK
Product: Payday loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest I didn't expect

Complaint:
I requested a loan for {$1000.00} from mobiloans My payments are all similar. Auto draft of {$150.00} and {$45.00} applied to loan balance {$100.00} applied to advance/fees. So the two payments equivalent to {$300.00} that come out each each month only {$90.00} of that goes to my account balance. I have a few times had to request funds because I did n't realize it would be twice a month but was sure I had gotten myself in a mess and would just have to keep trying to get through it until I got it paid off. I went through all of my statements and I have paid {$4700.00} to them since XXXX2015. My total fees charged total in {$2400.00} and my current balance is {$1000.00} with a payment due of {$260.00} and {$170.00} of that is fees. I feel this debt has been more than enough taken care of. I was advised by several people to close my bank account and try to find relief of this debt. I do n't feel I owe this company anymore money they have received back what they loaned to me and then some.

Company: Seterus, Inc.
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
Seterus Inc , has failed to abide by the servicing guidelines in connection with the  HAMP  and Non-HAMP loss mitigation options by the Treasury department in connection and also failure to abide by the   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   underwriting guidelines published on    XXXX   XXXX  .      On    XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  , Seterus Inc , denied our mortgage assistance request and claimed that we did failed to provide a " hardship '' letter. The record reveas that on    XXXX   XXXX   XXXX     , the hardship letter was provided. Therefore  Seterus Inc  have provided false information in connection with a  Federal Program  in order to acquire a denial.     Upon receipt of  Seterus  correspondence, we contacted the servicer and was told that no other information was needed because were in receipt of a full package and that the loan was sent to underwriting.     Following this conversation few days later, the servicer changed recounted their explanation for the denial and claimed that the application did not reflect the correct amount of the  S.S Income  provided. Seterus inc, claims that the application reflects the e S.S.  Income of {$360.00} and the bank statement reflects other amount.     We explained to the servicer that the application reflected the correct amount for the following reasons : 1. Only i    XXXX   XXXX    executed the note and not my husband   XXXX   XXXX     therefore my husband income has to be reflected under " contribution '' and not appropriate to be reflected on the S.S  Income.      My husband provide all applicable documents in connection with the treasury department guidelines, as well as evidence of contribution and well explained. The bank statement reflects the amo unt i receive of S.S Income w hich is exactly what i receive, while servicer claims that i did not provide the full amount.  Servicer i s playing stupid and claims that I receive {$650.00} of  S.S Income  and also {$360.00}. The record revelas that the {$650.00} is my husband  S.S Income and n ot mines. He furnished, bank statements to prove this and also explanation letter.   It is obvious that  Seterus  continues to act in bad faith in connection with a federal program.     Be advised that the servicer denied our previous mortgage assistance request, although we abided by the trial payments. On the second payment Seterus cancelled the loan modification claiming that we did not provided the " PMI '' amount. We made two payments pursuant to the amount reflected on the approval however they claim that we had to add the PMI our selves.  Seterus  filed a lawsuit after the denial which is what they really what had in mind all along.     Seterus has acted in bad faith and we request that they reopen the mortgage request.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Other mortgage
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
We sent in a package for the borrower on XXXX/XXXX/2015 to be reviewed for all modification options, XXXX, in-house, etc. Apparently, on XXXX/XXXX/2015, the borrower received an offer for a streamline trial modification with payments that were 49 % of the borrower 's gross monthly income. I, the Housing Counselor, was told that the borrower needed to accept or deny the offer, and would IN THE MEANTIME be reviewed for other options since they had the application on file. The borrower " failed '' the trial mod., because she chose to, and did n't make a payment, with the understanding that she was being reviewed for a more affordable option. I spoke to XXXX XXXX at Seterus, Inc. on XXXX/XXXX/2015 who said the application was received on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and they expected a decision to be made withing 30 days because file was UNDER REVIEW for XXXX and nothing was needed at this time. I was told on XXXX/XXXX/2015 that they had requested a reinstatement letter and no paperwork was needed and that they were waiting for approval. They told me to check back in in a week. I called today and spoke to a XXXX XXXX. He said that they show that no modification was being reviewed for currently and that the client failed the trial mod. YES, the client failed the mod. because she CHOSE to. It was UNAFFORDABLE. He said that he did see a package for XXXX, but it was n't being reviewed, and that I should call back in a week while they " update their screens '' and start to review the file. As far as we knew, the file was complete and being reviewed for XXXX. Also, there is NO single point of contact at Seterus, Inc. You call and speak to a different person each time and there has been no single person communicating with the borrower or working on the file, at least that we have been made aware of.

On  X/X/XXXX  I started paying  Works and Lentz  {$75.00} a month a total of {$3000.00} as of this day after being threatened to sue on first notice of this debt, threatened over the phone that if I did not pay at least this amount every month that they would have to proceed through legal actions. I never received a bill from the hospital. I had no acknowledgemention of this debt. I did however receive other bills from the hospital (   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   etc. ) Which were all paid for. I was caught completely off guard when Works and  Lentz first c ontacted me and because of the manner of which they decided to address themselves I was to scared to question or do anything about it and did not know I could do anything about it. I have asked Account manager  XXXX   XXXX  from m Works and Lentz t o send me verification of this debt and account summary 3 times and have never received. The amount of this debt is currently {$11000.00} it started at {$14000.00}  Works and Lentz f irst received our account on  X/XX/XXXX . After already paying thousands to the hospital for the other bills and never even hearing about this one I was very upset that the hospital never even gave me a chance to try to pay this bill by never sending me anything about it and now this bill has hurt my  cr  edit score  significantly. Works and Lentz  reported to the credit bureau   XXXX   before even contacting me. The amount reported was {$13000.00}. {$1300.00} less then what they say I owe.

Complaint:
I already filed a very specific complaint. Experian did nothing.     They sent a proforma reply proving they did not even read the complaint. I have a VERY specific complaint. They said they had no specifics. Here are the specifics, again.     Their  credit score  for me shows : " Open real estate account balances are too high compared to their loan amounts '' This is a quote. It is very specific. Here is my specific reply. I have NO real estate balances!! None. Not a single  XXXX . I have not had any real estate loans since last  XXXX ! It 's  XXXX .     I do not understand why CFPB accepts this kind of reply from Experian. They clearly did not investigate my very specific complaint. They did not even read it to see if there were any specifics.     Very frustrating that credit agencies can operate with complete indifference and impunity and get away with it. They should be fined for this. Thanks.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: WA
Product: Credit card
Issue: Advertising and marketing

Complaint:
To whom it may concern, Today I applied for the Alaska XXXX XXXX card over the phone. As expected, I went through a credit approval process by which I assumed I would be given approval for the XXXX card. Upon completion of the process, the customer care associate said I was " approved, '' though she did not state which card I was approved for. When I asked, she stated I was approved for the signature card, but needed to double check. When she double checked she stated I, instead, was approved for the XXXX Platinum card ( which is not even listed on the website ). The credit line was automatically opened upon submission of my application. 
When a customer calls to sign up for a card, and is placed on hold while his or her credit score is approved, and then told " you are approved, '' the blanket assumption is : I was approved for the card I requested. Luckily, I double checked and asked what card I was approved for. To add to the deception, she stated I was approved for the " signature card '', but needed to verify this. Upon verification, she informed me I was approved for the " Platinum '' card -- a different card entirely. The account was already opened at this point. When Alaska XXXX advertises XXXX offer, presents information as if the customer is receiving said offer, and then switches the offer at the last possible moment falls under the definition for " Deceptive Marketing and Enrollment. '' The only reason I applied for this card was because it was advertised as XXXX mileage points upon approval, the woman on the phone even stated I would get an additional XXXX points for signing up today. This advertising scheme is precisely what I am reporting. The information for the Plantinum card that I was automatically signed up for is not even easily accessed online. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
