Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NC)

In XXXX of 2014 I went to Wells Fargo to apply for an auto loan to which I recieved but only because I also was told I needed to open a credit card account with them in order to be approved for an auto loan. Being a young man wanting my car I thought it was legit being that this information was coming from my bank. Fast forward 4 years and this is not the cause. Causing me multiple headaches in fees and interest over a credit card I never needed to open in the first place. Wells Fargo has ruined my future.

I owed about {$1100.00} to the company which I paid in full on XX/XX/XXXX. Since I had previously had payment of {$29.00} scheduled for the XXXX of each month, I made sure to call chase bank customer service, talk to a representative just to make sure that I didnt owe any more money. Also I did ask the representative to cancel all the scheduled payments and I was told that it was done. 
However, I still got charge for {$29.00} after I paid my balance in full on theXXXX. After wrongly overcharging me {$29.00} which has compromised my plan for other paiement that I had scheduled, they charge interest for no reason after I paid my balance in full. Please help take action so that no one get ripped off this way. It is illegal and unfair and nobody should go through that.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA)

I previously entered the referenced complaint below. In response, Trans Union alleges they conducted an investigation whereupon the results indicated a bankruptcy filing was identified.

Trans Union failed, as they have in the past, to conduct a thorough investigation beyond identifying that a filing had occurred. The law is clear. There was no adjudication and the case was dismissed. There is no ORDER of Relief. Pursuant to Section 1681 ( a ) ( 5 ) of the FCRA, Trans Union must delete this information from my credit report and send me an updated copy when this action is completed.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Trans Union continues to list a dismissed bankruptcy as confirmed within my credit file. Although it is Trans Union 's policy to keep reporting bankruptcies that are filed, dismissed or adjudicated for ten years, the Fair credit Reporting Act mentions nothing in Section 1681c relating to bankruptcy about dismissals or filings. However, the law clearly states from " date of adjudication '' or date of " order of relief ''. Neither occurred in the bankruptcy that Trans Union continues to report. Any case, civil or otherwise, which is dismissed never existed in the eye of the law and a case filed may never have actually been adjudicated. Therefore, you have no right to maintain information which the government has deemed nonexistent. Pursuant to Section 1681 ( a ) ( 5 ) of the FCRA, Trans Union must delete this information from my credit report and send me an updated copy when this action is completed. Trans Union has already reported this on my credit report for over seven years... enough is enough. Considering that this does not require an investigation, I would appreciate your response within 14 calendar days from receipt of this complaint and please provide me an updated copy of my credit report.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC (MA)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a hello letter from ShellPoint mortgage, who began servicing my loan. On XX/XX/XXXX, I made the initial mortgage payment, consisting of principal and interest. My monthly mortgage payments are current, and I pay my own property taxes. The problems started on XX/XX/XXXX, when ShellPoint mortgage set up an annual tax escrow account for tax year XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I notified ShellPoint mortgage that my XX/XX/XXXX property taxes would be fully paid by year- end XX/XX/XXXX, and that my taxes have never been subject to an escrow account. ( There were no overdue taxes on account. I have owned my property for decades ). On XX/XX/XXXX, I prepaid the remaining amounts owed on my XX/XX/XXXX property taxes. Effective XX/XX/XXXX, I owed {$0.00} dollars for XX/XX/XXXX taxes. On XX/XX/XXXX, I notified the managing director of servicing, XXXX XXXX, that my XX/XX/XXXX taxes were paid in full, and that no tax payments were owed for the next thirty -days, or anytime soon ; in my area, XX/XX/XXXX tax assessments are not scheduled to be issued until early summer of XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX requested proof of payments, and provided me with an email address. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent in the proof of payments as directed, and the following day received confirmation of email receipt ( s ). Nonetheless, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a threatening letter from the Loss Mitigation Department at ShellPoint mortgage, who falsely claims past due amounts owed, ( which, includes a late payment fee for my XX/XX/XXXX monthly payment, which was timely made ), and threats to call in my loan. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with the servicing department at ShellPoint mortgage, who apparently lacks the necessary power to make adjustments on accounts. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent ShellPoint mortgage a detailed letter, and re-submitted proof of property tax payments for XX/XX/XXXX, ( via email, fax, and express mail ), and also sent a copy of the delivery receipt for the XX/XX/XXXX, mortgage payment. 

In my letter of XX/XX/XXXX, I requested the following from ShellPoint mortgage : To be removed from their escrow system, ( no property taxes are due forXX/XX/XXXX, or within the next thirty ( 30 ) days, or anytime soon ) ; that ShellPoint mortgage make all necessary corrections to my account ( ShellPoint mortgage is owed no money ) ; the return of an overpayment made by me on XX/XX/XXXX, for {$460.00} dollars. An error in the ShellPoint mortgage telephone electronic system caused an overpayment on account, which has not been credited or returned. Instead ShellPoint mortgage used the money to fund the alleged escrow account for XX/XX/XXXXpayments, even though full payment has been made. I request that loss mitigation cease and desist from sending harassing and intimidating mail. To date, ShellPoint mortgage has opted to ignore the facts, and the submitted proofs, showing no payments owed on accounts. I request your assistance in this matter. Thank you.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IL)

I obtained a XXXX XXXX in early XX/XX/XXXX. I called at the beginning of XX/XX/XXXX to report my card had been stolen. I called within the required time frame and I was told by the company that they would send me an affidavit to fill out, notarize, and send in. Since then, I called three more times to express my disappointment in not receiving the affidavit and in fact, receiving continued bill notifications and a late fee instead. I made a payment of {$80.00} only because the service representative said it was necessary due to the yearly fee of {$75.00}. Both representatives during two calls indicated that the late fees would be waived. After that payment, I received another notice of a supposed late payment and the company 's possible intention of sending me to collections. In XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email stating that my bill was ready to view online, but since I reported the stolen card, I have not been able to access my account online. Since then, I received another notice that my account was past due. And now the company, XXXX XXXX, that controls this credit card, has reported me to the credit bureaus with claims of late payments on a stolen card. 
Yet, I have still not received the affidavit form. I have every intention of filling it out to dispute the charges made, as specified in my first two, now three calls. I do not intend on making payments on the account based upon these charges. I do not understand why it seems your agency is so readily able to send me bills and late charge notices, but can not get me the required affidavit to pursue the disputed charges. Now my credit has been very negatively affected.

Company: Atlanticus Services Corporation (OH)

The company offered a credit card with a {$49.00} annual fee. I accepted the terms and then received a credit card. I paid the {$49.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and then today XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter stating that was an error really the annual fee is {$150.00} and when I called them they said it was " just a little mistake ''. 

They refused to honor the {$49.00} then when I ask for it to be refunded they said I had to call them back again. 

First I'm not sure how they can change the terms after they already accepted the annual fee. Secondly I hadn't even activated the card they should be giving me my money back at the minimum. 


There appears to be something wrong with the business practices here.
