Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Was not notified of investigation status or results
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NV)

I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting the removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days, and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 3-4 months.

Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't temporarily postpone payments
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (PR)

Navient told me to get my form stamped. Then denied it again saying the date was wrong and the third time said was denied because my new school is not under the XXXX XXXX Program. I asked about the statement and I quote : " '' Deferment Only '' means that U.S. students may defer making payments on existing federal student loan accounts while enrolled in an eligible program at a deferment only XXXX university or college, but may not take out federal student loans for enrollment at the deferment-only XXXX university or college. '' I asked about that and they just said I must keep paying them monthly. Now my account is delinquent and I can not pay the loan and school at the same time. They have in their site a 48 month deferment period may be granted. Also I asked twice for a XXXX representative and just got a translator for a few minutes before he left and I had to keep trying to finish the conversation without help.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Fay Servicing, LLC (GA)

My mortgage is currently serviced by Fay Servicing. They have been servicing it for approximately 4 years. Without exception, I have had 4 years of chronic issues of varying degree with them that only resolve when I file a formal complaint. At present, I have the recurring escrow account issue. I do not have an escrow account with them. I 've never had an escrow account with them because I handle taxes and insurance independently. Yet they have put in place and escrow account. I have disputed this with them and have forwarded paperwork to Fay Servicing indicating that I have insurance. My insurance agent has spoken with them and has also forwarded the same paperwork to them. Yet, nothing has been corrected. They have continued to charge an escrow and have applied my P & I payments to the escrow " deficit '' and not to my mortgage. They are also charging for the " unpaid '' P & I as well as late fees. I have tried to reach multiple times and have left numerous messages, but have not received a call back. Now they tell me that the property is in pre-foreclosure because I have not made XXXX payment. 
Unfortunately, this is not the first time I 've had the same issue with this mortgage servicing company. It is an ongoing, almost on a yearly basis, event. The result is always the same - we 're working on it, etc., etc., but there is little resolution. Verifying insurance and/or property taxes, and removing an incorrect escrow assessment should be a fairly easy job, not an almost 90-day production. 
I need resolution!!

Product: Bank account or service — Checking account
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management — 
Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (SC)

I am a member of USAA. I had a joint checking account with my wife as an authorized user. At the time, she was also listed as an authorized user on the USAA MasterCard. We had financial issues and the MasterCard account went delinquent. Soon after, I removed her from the account as we separated. I voluntarily removed myself from the joint checking account, leaving it to her. I then attempted to add a new checking account with USAA but was denied. They said that I could not have a checking account due to the balance owed on the MasterCard. I accepted that. Now I find that my wife still has her USAA checking account as an active account. USAA refuses to discuss it with me as it is her information. I get that. I do n't think it fair that me, the service member who originally had eligibility for their products, am now being denied an account when she is able to remain a member.

There is a fraudulent charge on my account. I have spoken with my Carnival mastercard company about the issue numerous times. After months of answering every question and sending every document requested, the financial institution told me from XXXX different representatives that the case was closed and the funds would be credited back to my account. I never got a credit and when I called back they were very rude and acted like I had never spoken with them about the issue. I have each call documented with date and time, however, they refuse to check their notes to confirm.

Issue: Other fee — 
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (AZ)

I have promotional ( no interest for 6 months ) balances on a Care Credit card. I have paid extra to be sure that the non-promotional balances ( {$120.00} from XXXX/XXXX/2015 ) was paid in full. However, I have been accruing a 'minimum interest charge ' for the non-promotional balance for the last couple months. I did a chat with a representative from the company who reports they applied my payments as required by law. The law states that the highest interest rate needs to be paid off first - all of my charges are at the same interest rate, only the non-promotional charge is actually accruing interest at this time, so it appears my payments should have been applied there first. The representative with whom I chatted reports that she changed the way previous payment ( s ) were applied, but no charges were reversed. I would like to see the charges reversed, if possible, and for the company to not to this to anyone else.

Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low — 
Company: WEBSTER BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

Account minimums were raised without my knowledge that triggered fees. The account is split between cash and investments, and the cash portion became too low and this triggered monthly fees. Because I do n't check the account often ( it is a dormant HSA ), I did not see the fees until 1.5y later. Customer service waived 3m of fees after I brought this to their attention.

Conns has been blowing up my phone 4 to 5 times a day monday thru Saturday. Even when I spoke to them and let them know that I lost my job a couple of months ago due to covid-19 and that I literally had no money to pay them they continued to call my phone numerous times a day. They are causing even more stress to an already stressful situation. And every single agent that I told about my financial situation had the nerve to ask me how I was living when I need to buy food and keep a roof over my head. That is none of their business. Then after asking me that they continued to ask can I at least pay something. It's too much. Even when I had a job they called my job 4 to 5 times a day.

As a potential customer at Conn 's HomePlus store ( Located in XXXX XXXX Texas at : XXXX XXXX ; XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ), I was shopping for a new fridge. We were interested in the " in-store '' credit that was going to allow 12 months of interest-free financing. I was very clear that I did not want, nor would I apply for, a credit card. We were still deciding about which fridge to buy, so we decided to continue the process another day. 

I was contacted ( with my permission ) via phone by the sales associate who had been helping us. I was re-assured that there was no way I would be applying for a credit card " because that HAS to be done in person, '' and that we were simply applying for the in-store credit with Conn 's. 

I received a credit card in the mail from Conn 's a couple of weeks later.

Company: CMRE Financial Services, Inc. (TX)

I agreed to fully pay this old debt and was led to believe if I made the payment, they would NOT report this debt to the credit bureaus. They continue to report this item. Please investigate. I can not seem to get a good answer on why this is happening. Since I work in the financial services industry, I fully understand the negative impact of having a collection on a credit report. As such, I would never have paid this item without their commitment they would NOT report it to the credit bureaus.

Company: AMERISAVE MORTGAGE CORPORATION (TX)

Hi - This is in regards to a possible ECOA, Regulation B, and UDAAP violation with Amerisave Mortgage. I have applied for a mortgage loan in XXXX 2016 and was pre-approved. I spoke to the loan officer and he told me to submit certain loan documents to be submitted to the underwriters. I submitted all documents as requested and received a phone call to submit my drivers license. I submitted my drivers license XXXX/XXXX/2016. I emailed the loan officer back and told him it was submitted. I have no heard from the loan officer since then. My credit is not the greatest or not the worst, it is in between and my DTI was a little high but I was within the FHA guidelines, per the loan officer. A month later today XXXX/XXXX/2016, I called the loan officer and asked him why I have not heard from him a little over a month. He stated that I was n't 'pre-qualify. ' But my loan status/application said I was pre-approved. He did specified when I first applied for the loan that in order to get pre-qualify, he will need to send the following documents i submitted to underwriting. However, I have not heard from him. ' I told him that it should be his responsibility to contact me and to tell me where my loan status is at. I felt as if I was mistreated, misleaded with my application and loan status maybe because my credit was n't the best and he did not want to work on my loan but would rather work on loan applications that has the best credit so he can get his incentives. I understand this, but I should not be mistreated due to my credit or even income. I should be treated the same as the person who has XXXX credit this is call 'FAIR LENDING. ' I feel that this is a violation of ECOA, Regulation B, UDAAP, and fair lending. All customers should be treated equal when it comes to credit applications. I understand the sale incentives, there should be some type of oversight within the team members to ensure that they are treating all customers equally. I plan on filing a lawsuit.

XXXX underpaid my bill to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX. I advised their billing department at XXXX XXXX that my XXXX should cover most of this and to please re-submit to my insurance company. XXXX XXXX did NOT re-submit and they sent me to collections using Hollis Cobb XXXX at XXXX. The collections company has been calling me for several months ( some calls were very rude - especially at the beginning where I was talked over and yelled at ). I kept telling them that the XXXX was going to take care of this, but the collections company never stopped calling. I have received up to 6 calls a day from them to try and collect this debt, which has interfered with my job and caused me to waste minutes on my cellular plan. I spoke with XXXX XXXX today, who is supposedly a manager at Hollis Cobb XXXX, and she even confirmed the notes were in there about the XXXX issues. I provided XXXX with the confirmation number from XXXX for the additional payment to the XXXX XXXX, and advised them I am working with a manager at XXXX XXXX to resolve the remaining {$51.00} ( which is what XXXX at XXXX told me is the only amount I should pay ). I also advised them that I would have my attorney contact them if they kept harassing me.
