Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (OK)

I had XXXX accounts with Synchrony Bank for some time. I used all accounts in a proper and responsible manner. I never had a single late payment and never exceeded my credit limits. In fact, I didn't even come close on many of the accounts. I made payments either on auto pay on the due dates or in many instances I would pay before the account had even billed and before it was due. 
I also maintained my personal credit with all creditors in a responsible manner and most of my credit scores were in the high XXXX 's and with in excess of {$100000.00} of available credit my utilization was always under XXXX XXXX  but usually at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I had just been approved for a new account with Synchrony and also received credit limit increases on other accounts. This also reflects that my handling of the accounts and my credit was without question or doubt. 

Then on XX/XX/XXXX I was notified that ALL of my accounts had been closed. There was no reasonable cause or reason for the closure. Nothing had changed in my internal or external credit profile or use that would warrant this action against me. 

At the time no one at Synchrony could provide me with an explanation for the closure. Then recently I received letters for each account with the same reason for the accounts being closed. These letters provided a false and wholly dishonest reason for the closure- in violation of federal law. Pursuant to federal law an adverse action letter must contain and provide a truthful and accurate reason or explanation, which they did not. 

In my research online, I then found that this was a complaint of many - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, of other customers of Synchrony Bank. So it appears that this is not an isolated action to HARM their customers.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: Onity Group Inc. (FL)

After my husband who was the sole breadwinner of our household became ill, are property fell into foreclosure. We put the property on the market and received an offer in XX/XX/XXXX. The offer was submitted to our loans servicer for a short sale approval. In XX/XX/XXXX, the buyer canceled because the bank took too long. Then in XX/XX/XXXX we received another offer which we again submitted to the bank for approval. Since XX/XX/XXXX we have done everything asked of us from the bank to attempt to obtain an approval. The bank again delayed, delayed and delayed some more. Unfortunately, in the course of attempting to secure the short sale approval, my husband died. Each time we have presented the bank with an offer they reject it for being too low. The buyer came all the way up to {$540000.00}. The lender has had this offer since at least early XXXX. I ordered an independent appraisal of the property earlier this year which came back at {$510000.00}. Today when we contacted the bank, we were advised that on XX/XX/XXXX an appraisal was conducted and home appraised at {$470000.00}. When we asked about the status of the {$540000.00} offer that the buyer had submitted several months ago, we were advised that the offer had been declined by the investor. I was shocked. I do not understand how an offer which is {$70000.00} higher than the bank 's own appraisal could be rejected. After researching the matter a bit on the Internet, I realized that since this is a servicer who owns this loan, it may be that they are trying to delay the process to make more fees on the servicing of the loan. Or, in the alternative, perhaps the owner of the loan is simply going to make more money from a mortgage insurance claim. I can't figure out why this is happening to us. I have made a good faith, diligent effort to attempt to minimize the bank 's losses and to try to salvage what's left of my credit. However, the bank continues to delay and demand documents that have been submitted on multiple occasions and requiring the buyer to increase their offer which by their own admission is {$70000.00} more than the appraised value. I am no attorney but this seems like a highly unfair and deceptive business practice which this investor and their servicer are engaging in. I would appreciate any help you can provide in investigating this matter.

Company: Credit Control, LLC (MD)

My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am filing this complaint against XXXX 's for furnishing false and misleading information to my consumer report as a means to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. This account is listed as a Charge off on my consumer report as shown in attached exhibit A. This is false and misleading. 
I am aware the definition of a Charge Off, pursuant to 7 CFR 1956.54, is The writing off of a debt and termination of collection activity without release of personal liability. 
Im also aware that once a debt is cancelled, it now becomes gross income. 
Pursuant 26 U.S. Code 61 ( a ) ( 11 ), Gross income includes income from discharge of indebtedness. Was a 1099-C filed on this account? If so, I never received one. 
I am aware that a 1099-C must be mailed to consumers by XX/XX/XXXX the following calendar year in which the identifiable event occurs. If your company has mailed me a 1099-C, please provide documentary evidence, such as a tracking number, that proves I in fact received and was aware of a 1099-C. 
Knowingly furnishing this false and misleading charge off to my consumer report is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2. 
If XXXX 's has filled out a 1099c form and is continuing any kind of collection activity as defined under 31 U.S. Code 3711 ( e ) by performing any of the following conduct ; administrative offset, tax refund offset, referral to private collection contractors, referral to agencies operating a debt collection center, reporting delinquencies to the credit reporting agencies, garnishing wages, pursuing litigation or foreclosure, you are committing tax fraud and should be reported to the IRS for a fraudulent financial gain. 
I am aware and I am invoking my right as the consumer to demand the money audit trial in accordance with 12 U.S. Code 5562 ( c ) ( 10 ). I would need this product of document material as documentary evidence in order to properly address this subject matter and without this documentary evidence there can be no validation of such debt. 
Furthermore, in order to validate the debt, please provide verification through audit certification of debt entry in accordance with GAAP, IRS, in accordance with Basel 3, and UNCITRAL conversions. 
If any of the above can not be provided, this account must be removed from my consumer report immediately to prevent further harm to me and my financial reputation.

Company: Westlake Services, LLC (FL)

On XX/XX/2019 I received a notice of transferred services letter from my previous lender XXXX XXXX stating that effective XX/XX/XXXX the servicing of my account would be transferred to Westlake portfolio management services. My loan reached its maturity date on XX/XX/2019, however I still have a balance owed of a little over $3000 of which the following payments have been made to Westlake in an attempt to satisfy and pay the account in full; $XXXX on XX/XX/19, $XXXX on XX/XX/19 and $XXXX   on XX/XX/19.  I received a past due letter dated XX/XX/XXXX requesting the full amount to be paid. Immediately I contacted Westlake and inquired about the account and expressed my concerned w/ the details of the letter specifically where the letter stated that my vehicle could be repossessed. I was informed by the customer service rep that Westlake granted my account an extension until XX/XX/19 to pay the remaining balance. About 4 weeks later I received another past due noticed. I contacted Westlake again and was told once more that I had an extension until XX/XX/XXXX and that as long as I continued to make payments my vehicle wouldn't be repossessed. Fast forward to today XX/XX/XXXX and my car was repossessed at XXXX. I spoke with Ivonne the repossession supervisor and now the story they are giving is that my account was noted for the extension but wasn't granted, information that has never been communicated to me during my previous conversations w/ their customer service reps, and that she would be sending my account for review and if approved for the extension I would get my vehicle back. While I appreciate XXXX   diligence to help I am very upset at the amount of miss-information from the lender and the situation I've been placed in is unfair. This company is a nightmare.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: HEARTLAND PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC (NY)

The servicers in question are XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and Heartland ECSI. 

Loan servicers Heartland ECSI and XXXX have misplaced funds totaling {$6500.00} that is owed to me. 

On XX/XX/2020, I applied for a consolidation of a federal XXXX loan held by the XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX and serviced by Heartland ECSI, and selected GSMR as my servicer. 

On XX/XX/2020, I paid the XXXX loan serviced by Heartland ECSI in full, as I never heard from Navient about my loan consolidation. 

On XX/XX/2020, weeks after the loan was already paid in full by myself, Heartland ECSI received a payoff from XXXX, thus meaning that I had a credit of {$6500.00}. The same day, Heartland transactions show a debit of that same amount, but with no details. A customer service agent claims that Heartland refunded the money back to XXXX. However, XXXX went ahead with the consolidation and pushed the loan to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which had a loan balance of about {$6500.00} added to it, which is a new liability for me although I paid the XXXX loan in full already on XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/2020, I called XXXX, and they know nothing about a refund from XXXX. Heartland claims they can not provide documentation to prove it was sent to XXXX, so XXXX will not give me my money back or look into it. Heartland has not sent me any official paid in full documentation or otherwise. Heartland has not provided any timeline or support in getting me documentation of this alleged transfer of money back to XXXX.

Ive spoken to the banking branch where I paid the balance due and couple of customer service representatives and they give the runaround. I was told they would update the credit agencies but yet it still shows as a derogatory mark. Please help me, CFPB.
