This is just a brief summary/question. I just recently became aware ( today ) that Ocwen has a settlement website and also found out the deadline to submit a claim has passed. How would someone have known prior to the deadline to file a claim? I am sure I am not the only homeowner who was not aware of this, therefore if everyone entitled did not apply what will they do with the funds which will not be sent to those of us who were in the dark about the settlement.

My Macy 's XXXX card was comprised at the end of XXXX with {$300.00} worth of fraudulent charges. I immediately reported the issue and was told it would be resolved within XXXX billing cycles. I was also assured that I would not be responsible for additional fees on the account that may add up until the charges were removed. While the {$300.00} charges were removed, the extra fees were not and continue to increase. Each month upon receiving a statement in the mail, I call and am told it would be {$0.00} within XXXX to XXXX billing cycles. No one has been able to assist me and make this go away. I am desperate for help because it is now XXXX ( 5 months later ) and the charges are still increasing. I have not used my Macy 's card and in fact have no interest in shopping with them.

I have had different chase accounts for some time now without any issues and always paid my bills on time.

This has caused my fico score to crash and my utilization to sky rocket hurting me for no apparent reason. I once again have been late or exceeded my limit but I was punished.

Product: Credit card — 
Issue: Closing/Cancelling account — 
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (MI)

Barclay 's closed my wife and my credit card accounts after having a positive history of using the card, nearly never carrying a balance month to month, and having cards open for multiple years. 
At no time did we ever receive any negative feedback or notifications that Barclay had any issue with my 'history of account usage '. 
In fact, despite the 'history of account usage ' that Barclay refers to in the closing, Barclay increased the credit limit on my card and my wife 's card in the past year, encouraging what they must later have decided is a poor 'history of account usage '. They also upgraded our cards to XXXX XXXX elite during the same period of 'history of account usage ' that was present during closure. 

In fact, I started using my primary card, the Arrival, exactly in a fashion that was advertised. I started using this card originally for everyday spend as well as to buy XXXX XXXX Gift Cards through the Barclay RewardsBoost mall, which they advertised on their own website was a great way to earn extra rewards. 

It seems clear to me that Barclay is closing our accounts because it is not profitable to provide us with rewards under the current program that they advertise, even though on their website, even today, it still shows " Earn XXXX miles for every {$1.00} you spend on all your purchases '' and Redeem for travel statement credits starting at XXXX miles for {$25.00} toward a qualifying travel purchase of {$25.00} or more made within the last 120 days ''. 

With my last statement ( XXXX ) I had redeemed XXXX points ( {$140.00} ) but still had XXXX points adjusted at the closing of my account. 

If returning my account to good standing is not practicable, a payment for the miles which would have been worth the sum unredeemed as well as the annual fee for the services I could not receive but had already paid for seems reasonable : XXXX XXXX XXXX = {$380.00}. The 10 % bonus would have added {$38.00} when used for travel redemptions, which I always have available since I travel for business. This totals {$420.00}. 

My wife 's card had XXXX miles, which would have been worth {$19.00} XXXX XXXX = {$21.00}. 

I also paid a {$95.00} annual fee on this card, and on my wife 's card, totaling {$190.00} in fees which I am now not able to fully utilize given the cards were canceled in the middle of the membership year. 

This means my monetary damages from these XXXX closed cards are {$420.00} XXXX lost redemption, self ) + {$21.00} XXXX lost redemption, wife ) + {$190.00} ( annual fees ) = {$640.00}. 

I appreciate your quick response to this issue.

My Barclays XXXX XXXX was closed without any prior notice and without any reason whatsoever. When I called I was told that my heavy usage caused it to be closed. Barclays was being deceptive with their business practices in promoting a credit card with rewards and asking me to put all my spend on it to create more points and then shutting down my account with no prior notice and not allowing me to redeem my rewards. I believe that 's not the way to treat a costumer you lured in with false promises. I was doing normal spending and my account was closed because I share the same address as my husband which was the XXXX doing the heavy spending, how is that fair I ask?

Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Experian and XXXX regarding their failure to conduct a thorough investigation and provide the necessary documentation related to the inaccurate XXXX XXXX XXXX accounts that appear on my credit report. Despite my repeated requests for a comprehensive outline of the investigation, including all documents, contracts, and contact information for the furnishers, I have received nothing from either bureau. 

Background I initially disputed the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  accounts ( Account Numbers : XXXX and XXXX ) in XX/XX/year> and followed up in XX/XX/year>, XX/XX/year>, and XX/XX/year>. My requests included : A detailed outline of the investigation process conducted by Experian and XXXX. 
Copies of all documents and contracts that were used to validate the accounts. 
Contact information for the furnisher with whom the bureaus communicated. 

Despite these requests, neither Experian nor XXXX has provided the documentation or proof required under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This failure to comply with the law has severely impacted my credit report and my ability to function as a consumer. 

Inaccurate Reporting and Discrepancies Additionally, I have identified a discrepancy in how these accounts were reported. Experian incorrectly reported a 30-day late payment, while XXXX reported a 60-day late payment. To my dismay, XXXX later matched their report to Experians without providing any justification or documentation for this change. On what basis did XXXX decide to align their report with Experians inaccurate data? This inconsistency is both unjust and damaging to my creditworthiness. 

Demands I am now making a very firm and direct demand for the following : 1. Immediate removal of the inaccurate XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX accounts from my credit report by both Experian and XXXX. 
2. Compensation for the damages caused by the continued presence of these inaccurate accounts on my credit report, which has hindered my financial standing and ability to access credit. 
3. A detailed report from Experian and XXXX explaining how they validated the information, including all documents, contracts, and communication with the furnishers. If they can not provide this, the information must be removed immediately. 

Conclusion The handling of this situation by Experian and XXXX is unacceptable and violates the FCRA. I expect swift action from the CFPB to ensure that my rights are protected and that these inaccuracies are corrected without further delay. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt resolution.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally file a complaint against Experian regarding the mishandling of a dispute involving an inaccurate and fraudulent account reported by XXXX XXXX. Despite providing Experian with a comprehensive set of documents, including an FTC Identity Theft Report and a police report from the XXXX County Sheriff 's Department ( Report Number : XXXX XXXX ), Experian has reinstated the account on my credit report after initially removing it. 

The account in question does not belong to me, and I have no knowledge of this debt. Both XXXX and XXXX have rightfully removed this account from my credit report after reviewing the evidence I provided. However, Experian has chosen to rely solely on the certification of XXXXXXXX XXXX, disregarding the substantial proof of identity theft that I submitted. 

Experians actions are in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically : 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 ( a ), which requires credit reporting agencies to block information resulting from identity theft upon receiving an identity theft report and supporting documentation. Experian initially complied with this by removing the fraudulent account but then unjustly reinstated it based on the creditors word alone, which undermines the protections afforded to consumers under the FCRA.

15 U.S. Code 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which mandates that a credit reporting agency must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation if the consumer disputes the accuracy of information. Experians reliance on XXXX Banks certification without thoroughly considering the evidence I provided suggests a failure to conduct a proper reinvestigation. 
15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which prohibits the furnishing of information relating to a consumer if the furnisher knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. Given the identity theft report and police report I provided, Experian should have questioned the validity of the information supplied by XXXXXXXX XXXX. 
Experians decision to place the burden of proof on me, despite the overwhelming evidence of identity theft, is unacceptable. This decision has negatively impacted my credit score and caused undue stress. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter and compel Experian to : Permanently remove the fraudulent account from my credit report. 
Cease any further attempts to reinsert the disputed account without a thorough and impartial review of all the evidence provided. 
Ensure compliance with FCRA requirements in handling future disputes. 
Thank you for your attention to this serious matter. I look forward to your prompt assistance in resolving this issue.
