Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NJ)

I sent a letter to Experian requesting a proper investigation regarding the public records on my credit report as I know that the XXXX public records should not have been placed on my credit report. I went to my local county clerk office to see if they could resolve the issue but they stated to me that they do not speak, email or fax to the credit bureaus and that I would have to take it up with them to resolve the issue on my report. So sent my dispute and both judgments came back verified yet per my attorney who explained to me that under the FCRA which is a federal law that the credit bureaus have to conduct a reasonable investigation and make sure that the items on my credit report are accurate and verifiable. I know the XXXX judgement are not accurate and simply should not be there and how can they verify them with the county clerk or recorder when they do n't communicate in any manner to each other. This is a broken system and I need those XXXX judgments removed off my credit report as they are preventing me from obtaining future credit. I am a single working mother with XXXX children and I can not afford to to have these inaccurate public records.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (AP)

We have been in the process of modifying our mortgage, which is an investor-owned mortgage with XXXX, serviced by Bank of America. We began this process back in XX/XX/XXXX ; I requested a modification because the term of the existing modification had expired. More importantly, I have a new job overseas, which will result in a significant reduction of income. Long story short, Bank of America has made this process a complete nightmare from the outset. They are either willfully incompetent or are wittingly engaged in illegal activities. They have made agreements in bad faith regarding the removal of the escrow account they they added in error in the first place ; they did irreparable damage to our credit ; they put me at risk of losing my job. They previously added an escrow account to the loan which they themselves advised was NOT REQUIRED for our loan program. 
After 7 months of the back and forth, our customer account manager changing XXXX times, we were going to opt out of the modification because there seemed to be no end in site that would be advantageous to our family. Why would we sign up for a loan to modify our existing payment that is MORE than what we were paying? 

After posting my displeasure via social media, we finally got some response and are currently in the closing phase of the loan modification. However, it has been stalled for the past 3 months because BOA lost the original loan documents. We signed the loan documents on XX/XX/XXXX. We had to download the documents from BOA 's loan portal because we can not receive XXXX XXXX and BOA would not mail to our overseas address because it is a XXXX XXXX . I called BOA to advise that I sent the documents as instructed in the cover letter to a XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, CA. However, learned on XXXX XXXX that the forwarding service had expired on that XXXX XXXX and it was supposed to be returned to me. However, I just checked the tracking on XXXX that the documents were signed for by XXXX at Bank of America in XXXX TX on XXXX XXXX. They have held unapplied funds for 3 months - even though we have made the FULL contracted payment, charged late fees, and reported us for non-payment/delinquency, while we have patiently waited for our loan to close. I did try to contact XXXX via the XXXX Manager but there has been no real follow-up on my inquiries since XX/XX/XXXX.

My husband and I got behind on our mortgage when my husband had XXXX XXXX. Green Tree sent us notification they were going to foreclose on our home. We finally got the money to catch the payments up and paid it. Thinking we were good we recieved a letter in the mail stating they were taking the necessary steps required by law to gain possession of the creditor 's collateral. It also states they 've sent us a " Notice of Default and right to cure Default '' notice. The notice is still in effect and they will proceed as outlined in the notice unless they receive {$400.00} in late fees. My husband went in person to pay the missed payments and was told we were current. No one said anything about late fees or that they could still foreclose on our home over late fees. They also charge every time you make a payment and with draw money out of our bank account even when we 've not authorized them to do so causing NSF charges at our bank. This company needs to be closed.

My HELOC was transferred to BSI in Pennsylvania in XX/XX/XXXX, they always messed up my payments, and recently I just called to get my rate information, to no avail. My loan is now transferred to another company. 
I need my rate information, as I feel they might have put it in wrong, and at 2.25 %, with all the payments I have made, my loan should have gone down substantially, which it has not. 
I have not been on top of this, as I have been taking care of XXXX friends who have XXXX, and the past XXXX years have gone by so fast. I just caught up with everything, and I noticed that the information they sent to the new company is off by 1 %, so I need to get the correct information from BSI. 
BSI sent me a print out, which I ca n't make heads or tails out of, and I have been in XXXX for over XXXX years. They seem like they are quite backwards as far as their computer system. 
I want to make sure they have the correct rate information, as my rate is always 1 % lower that the prime rate in the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have made many payments over the monthly payments, which should have been going to principal, so I do n't understand how at the rate I am, that my HELOC has not really gone down. 
I would appreciate any help, as this is just snowballing, as BSI has sent out the wrong loan information to the new company XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX California. They have my rate as XXXX, and as indicated by the FDIC, which took over the bank I originally had the loan with, my rate will always be prime minus 1 %. 
I am asking for help in this matter, a $ XXXX loan that I started with in XX/XX/XXXX, should not be $ XXXX, I have made payments above the minimum payment, and always to principal. 
Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Hi, I have had a credit card account in good standing with Discover for several years, and was pleased ( at the time of account application, not now ), to receive a promotional checking account offer for a {$300.00} sign up bonus with conditions of sign up by XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, and make XXXX direct deposits within 60 days. Here is the full situation : a ) The application was opened on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. The final screen said something along the lines of 'pending ' or 'more info is needed ', and it was my understanding ( as with credit card applications ) that a specialist would look into the account and contact me promptly. 

b ) Contact was never made, which was frustrating, so I called in on XXXX, and the account rep told me she saw the application and was willing to finish it. I reminded her of the bonus offer and *she acted like is was still completely good and valid* since I had applied on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 

c ) Direct deposits fulfilling your terms and conditions were completed XX/XX/XXXX. 

d ) I sent a secure message ( now unavailable to me ) in XXXX asking when the bonus would post, and the rep told me it would be on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. He did never indicated that I was ineligible, and he apologized for the inconvenience. 

e ) When XXXX passed, I sent another message ( now unavailable to me since the Discover system deletes them after 30 days ), asking what happened. Another rep told me things would be adjusted within 30 days. There was still no indication that I was considered ineligible. 

f ) I sent in a message yesterday, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, and was informed that the account was officially dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, which is the time of completion and not the time of the application, and I am therefore considered ineligible. This is the first I was told of this. I sent in an application on XXXX in good faith that it would be reviewed and completed, and in my opinion, Discover dropped the ball on it. Not me. 

g ) I then called in. The rep not only told me about the account date issue, but also informed me that I was not targeted. I received a direct mailing, and was therefore, by definition, targeted. They later change their story on this, oddly enough. 

h ) I received another message telling me, Oh, I guess you name is actually on the list (?? get your story straight ), but your still ineligible because of the account opening on XXXX, not XXXX like I thought it was. 

I can not believe that are going to renege on a bonus offer using a petty technicality. It is not my fault for not finishing my account opening in an 11 day window ( XXXX ). That was completely in their court, not mine, after I applied. This is bad business practice all around.

Issue: Using a debit or ATM card — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX)

Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to use my Wells Fargo debit card at a XXXX grocery store located in XXXX, Texas. I had successfully used my card about a hour before at XXXX located in the same strip mall. In an attempt to pay for my groceries, I swiped my debit card. I was told the transaction was not authorized. Despite the fact, I had well over the amount in the account ( even after the previous XXXX purchase ). The check out person suggested that I try again, which I did. XXXX again, the transaction would not authorize. So, I used a debit card from another bank, which did go through. 
When I called Wells Fargo, to inquire what happened, their explanation was that they were concerned that I had been to XXXX previous to using my card at XXXX. So, without a text to my cell or a call, they blocked my card. In response, I explained how I was at check out with a cart full of groceries, not knowing why the card was blocked. The Wells Fargo rep again, just repeated that it was because I had shopped at XXXX previous. Is this something that they do to all of their customer 's accounts? My husband and I have been Wells Fargo customers since XX/XX/XXXX, why the hyper diligence regarding me using my debit card? 
In addition, before the customer service rep would speak with me, she required me to give my XXXX Wells Fargo credit card identification info! The credit card is not linked to the debit card 's checking account. It is an entirely separate account. She asked for this info even after I gave her the identification info regarding the debit card account, as well as the last XXXX digits of my social security number. 
Should I assume that for some reason I was deemed a person of suspicion? How do I know if and when my card will be subjectively blocked? I understand Wells Fargo, like many banks, take fraud related measures to protect accounts, but if Wells Fargo wish for its customers not to shop at XXXX using their debit card, they need to make a public statement. Otherwise, they position themselves as having final say as to where I can spend MY money. 
I would really appreciate an explanation as to their reasoning and if this type of action is within their legal rights.

In XXXX XXXX, I opened a loan with another person through GM Financial. I was placed on the loan as co-borrower, however, never placed on the title of the vehicle, I was only placed on the loan documents. I am unsure why this occurred. When the primary person did not pay the loan, I paid the payments. I went to the DMV to attempt to take over the vehicle. By law in Ohio, if the other person does not sign for this, you can not be added to the title. The primary person obviously refused to sign the documentation. I have since taken this person to court to mitigate the situation. There are XXXX judgment liens, XXXX for the total amount of the contributory share, and a year later when the primary still refused to pay, the other to foreclose on thier home for the amount I sued for to pay off the loan. The primary person filed bankruptcy XX/XX/XXXX. 

I tried again to get GM Financial to give the vehicle to me via other means such as forcefully placing me on the title through the court. GM financial has refused repeatedly to help. In XXXX XXXX, GM Financial finally repossessed the truck, there was not a payment due on the vehicle until XXXX XXXX. 

I have tried to add the vehicle to my insurance, but was told it is illegal since the vehicle is not titled to me. It would be considered insurance fraud to which I could be tried and persecuted. 

I am held as a hostage, I continue to make these loan payments, I am unable to obtain ownership of the vehicle, as well as unable to insure it because I was never placed on the title or registration. 

GM Financial currently has possession of the truck and I continue to make payments on time monthly. They refuse to work with me or my lawyers. I have exhausted a great amount of resources attempting at a resolution to this matter. Attorney 's fees included. I am still in the same predicament. Only now, GM Financial has possession of the vehicle.
