Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (TX)

someone got into my citibank account in XX/XX/2022, citi bank froze my account then eventually closed it. i let them know that the address they had on file was not my address anymore, a representative told me that he was able to go in and change it to my new address. once the account was closed they sent out a check of {$870.00} from the funds that i had left in my account, the thing is they sent it to my old address when i had already told them that i didn't live there anymore and the representative told me that he changed it on his end. i went to my old apartment to see if the people living there now had my package. they didn't answer the door so i left a note with my phone number, i never heard back from them. i then contacted XXXX to see if they had my package they told me they didn't and there was nothing that they could do about it. the next step i took was contacting citi bank again to let them know they sent it to the wrong address and that i didn't receive my check. they told me that they would sent another check out to the correct address. i've talked to multi able agents and they all have a different story each time i call. i was told that i then needed to mail out a copy of my photo id and a utility bill with my name and my new address, i mailed the information out to them twice and i still haven't receive my check we are now in XXXX, i'm currently XXXX  and its been stressing me out, it shouldn't be this difficult to receive my money. Every time i ask to speak to a manger or supervisor they told me it's not one available and they an do a call back. i have never received a call back.

Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (FL)

Ive been banking with Chase for many years. I recently had my checking and savings accounts abruptly closed by Chase. They stated to me the decision was permanent and final and would not disclose a reason why. There were no instances of strange activity or anything out of the ordinary on the account. I didnt find out my account was closed until I went to use my debit card and it declined. They didnt notify me formally of this decision until four days later. Furthermore, I have had to face hefty fees from returned payments at the fault of Chase neglecting to notify me of this pending closure before they blocked my account. This is absolutely no way to treat your customers.I advise you to bank elsewhere.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I am writing to file a formal complaint against this agency for consistently reporting inaccurate information on my credit report, despite my repeated efforts to dispute and rectify the errors. 

This blatant disregard for my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) has caused significant financial and emotional distress, and I kindly request your intervention to resolve this matter appropriately. 

I submitted a dispute regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report. According to the FCRA, the agency is obligated to conduct a reasonable investigation into the disputed information within 30 days. However, despite this requirement, They failed to conduct a proper investigation and instead verified the inaccurate information without providing any valid evidence. This violation of my FCRA rights has resulted in ongoing damage to my creditworthiness and has hindered my ability to secure favorable lending terms. 

I kindly request that the CFPB instruct this agency to conduct a thorough and reasonable investigation into the disputed information and provide me with a written response within the stipulated time frame. Additionally, I request that the inaccurate information be promptly removed from my credit report due to my rights being violated and sending multiple disputes in the past with no resolution.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: Caliber Home Loans, Inc. (FL)

RE : Caliber Home Loans - My mortgage was in arrears. For that and other financial issues I filed XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy. I successfully completed the 5 year payback and an Order of Discharge was issued by the court in XX/XX/XXXX. I recently tried to refinance my home through XXXX Mortgage with the VA funding the loan. Everything went fine until the VA asked for an explanation of the Deferred Principal amount. The XXXX broker advised that there had to be a loan modification agreement or Forbearance. Both he and I searched the County Court Official Records, bankruptcy Court records and could find no such agreement. I called my bankruptcy attorney who stated that there was never a loan modification done during the pendency of the bankruptcy. He also advised that if there had been Federal law states that both parties would have to agree and the bankruptcy Court would have to approve any such modification. Again there is no such Order in the Court file. After the Discharge was issued I got rid of all the old mortgage statements however when this issue came up I searched my files and did find a mortgage statement dated XX/XX/XXXX and at the time there was no deferred principal listed. The amount was just listed as Outstanding Principal. That was just 90 days before I filed bankruptcy and in fact had already retained legal counsel by then. XXXX XXXX took over the servicing of the loan in XX/XX/XXXX and at that time a deferral principal amount was showing on Caliber 's mortgage statements. A representative from XXXX XXXX  stated they had a copy of a Caliber Mortgage statement dated XX/XX/XXXX and it was showing then so sometime between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX it somehow was showing deferred principal. Both the XXXX broker and myself have been on the phone with Caliber Mortgage on two separate occasions. Each time the first person we spoke with stated they could find no such modification agreement. We were put on hold each time to be transferred to someone else and each time the phone went dead. I have since requested in writing via email that Caliber furnish me with any documents relating to the loan modification and they have not responded at all. XXXX Mortgage states this is the only issue holding up being able to close on this loan. I don't understand why they just won't produce this documentation. I can't refinance I would imagine I am going to have a problem selling if this same issue comes up. Please help me get the documentation for this loan modification as the VA and XXXX Mortgage states that it has to exist. Did Caliber do something unethical or even illegal?

The credit reporting agencies keep disrespecting the laws. I showed them multiple times of how they are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) Experian and XXXX said everything was complete and accurate and I asked them how if the balance is wrong? EXPERIAN is reporting a balance of {$3400.00} and XXXX is reporting a balance of {$3400.00}. 

Also, XXXX is reporting the account as open when it is a collection account. Collection accounts from debt buyers can not be open.

Then I asked them to provide me with a description of the investigation in accordance with 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) and they never did. I have proof via the previous dispute that was filed through the CFPB to the credit reporting agency.

Also, according to 15 USC 1681 s-2 A person shall not furnish any information relating to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe the information is inaccurate.

This is violation after violation. This is causing me stress because I have no hope in this credit reporting system.

Failure to comply will force me to pursue actual damages against the credit reporting agencies. I have proof of these damages and will seek legal counsel if necessary.
