Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

In XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, my account was closed because of fraud on my checking account associated with XXXX  XXXX XXXX. I was unaware of the fraud immediately, but when I became aware that my statement was inaccurate, I locked the account and it took more than a month to resolve the fraud because I had to come into the office in person. When I did we realized that in the process of getting this resolved I had missed a credit card payment. The only payment I had ever missed with XXXX  XXXX XXXX. They reversed the fee right away and I moved on from the incident. Now I am looking to buy a house and all three credit bureaus show that I have a 30 day late payment on my account. I tried to resolve this in XXXX of XXXX and never heard back from XXXX  XXXX XXXX and the credit bureaus never heard from XXXX  XXXX XXXX as well. I called again on XX/XX/XXXX and they apologized that the information entered in XXXX was inaccurate. I was told they could fax me a credit dispute letter within XXXX hours and that I was all set. I called after 48 hours because no fax had been received. During this call I was told that the XX/XX/XXXX call was also inaccurate and that instead my case is being considered by their review team and that it would take XXXX business days before they would even have a resolution and that I would have to call them to check on the status or else I could wait another XXXX weeks for the letter to arrive in the mail. 

Countless times I have asked what I did wrong or why I need to prove that I deserve this to come off my credit report when I was the victim and the only answer I have received is that if I setup autopayment it will show I am committed to not letting this happen again. I just want to buy my first home and I worry that I will be out thousands of dollars for XXXX  XXXX XXXX 's mistake.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (AR)

I consolidated XXXX credit accounts in XX/XX/2016 with XXXX. To the best of my knowledge, XXXX has consistently submitted the required minimum monthly payment to each creditor. I have utilized no credit in the interim. My last credit report ( XXXX ) indicates a 44 pt. drop ( XXXX ) and a 29 pt. drop ( XXXX ) in the past 7 days. Upon research, Capital One Credit retroactively reported three 90 - 119 day late payments for months XXXX - XX/XX/2016, despite clear documentation via XXXX to the contrary. Capital One has collected timely payments. This situation first occurred several months ago. After several conversations with Capital One representatives and a formal letter of dispute, it seemed to have been resolved. However, as of today my score and Capital One records are again indicating late payments. XXXX can only verify that payments have been made in a timely manner so, I 'm seeking third party assistance in resolving this situation.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (CA)

I received a promotional offer for my Gap Card ( issued by Synchrony Bank ) for the months of XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/2016. The promotion was you would receive 5 times the normal rewards points for each purchase during the period PLUS XXXX points each day the card was used. Points were to be awarded within 2 billing statements By XX/XX/XXXX no bonuses were issued. I contacted Synchrony Bank and they acted like they never heard of the promotion and said they would look into it- I could expect to have it resolved in 2 or 3 more billing cycles. I contacted The Gap about this via email ( attached to this complaint ), they apologized and said Synchrony Bank would be in touch within several days. They were. A nice woman named XXXX from SB apologized for my problem, explained that by error the offer was n't linked to my account but that it was good, I would get my points and even offered {$50.00} in extra rewards points for my trouble. She assured me it would be resolved and the rewards would be awarded by my next statement. By this time I had at least 90 mins invested in calls, live 'chats ', and letter writing. After our call, I confirmed that the 'points for my troubles ' ( {$50.00} in Gap rewards ) were added to my account and believed that the points I 'earned ' through the promotion would be added soon and every thing would be fine. Today I received a form letter in the mail, basically playing 'Twenty Questions ', asking dates, amounts, etc- as if I am supposed to do all the research and calculations for them, after I was assured that the matter was settled- basically taking me back to 'square one '. They clearly had all this info already when I spoke with XXXX. What a terrible consumer experience and poor reflection on The Gap. I really never want to have anything to do with either Synchrony Bank or The Gap ever again.

After a letter stating that they cant sue due to its age there is no proof of debt in this letter as to last date paid no signed contract between me etc they were told until they can prove the actual debt ( which they have failed to do so ) to stop all further calls or communications. Repetition of calls is harassing behavior! Especially without time to look at letter that was requested more than 7 calls before this. They are using repetitive calls as a tactic to try to get people to pay on debts not owed. XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX letter received but failed to state when last payment was made and chain of custody proof that amount was whats true or not, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( first original date I requested proof but none still given ). I have reason to believe that this portfolio recovery services is trying to scam on a time barred debt ( past the statute of limitations ). 

There have been more than 6numbers that I can count that they have called me from and none are their actual buisness numbers. Only one that I can recall of.

Company: ROWLETT MORTGAGE LENDING, LTD (TX)

I was in the process of getting a home loan and was referred to this loan officer by my realtor. The loan office went missing in action many times when we were dealing with time sensitive issues. I was given excuse after excuse for why we were left in the dark. She gave me multiple dates to show up at closing when my file I found out was not even out of underwriting. I understand closing dates getting pushed back but not when we are told to show up at closing multiple times with no result. I was told a certain amount would be charged to my debit card for appraisal and I was charged {$65.00} more than I consented and was not given an explanation. She had me pay for a rush appraisal to close on time and it was not needed because we were never gon na close on the date she said. The real reason for the complaint is the lack of communication and us almost losing our home loan. When I gave the company a bad review XXXX XXXX ( the loan officer ) sent me the nastiest text message and threatened to pull our loan if I did not take down the review. I contacted her boss immediately and she was so embarrassed. After I sent her boss the txt messages she told me that was the most unethical thing she has ever seen and was very sorry. XXXX, the owner of Rowlett Mortgage then took over my loan and took care of us. XXXX also made it right on the charges that should not have been on my debt card so kuddos to the owner of this company. I felt attacked in her txt message and she was using all my personal info that she had collected for my loan to attack me. She talked about my finances and my divorce and this is someone that I trusted with my loan and my personal info I have no clue who else she has shared my personal stuff with. My husband was freaking out because we were suppose to finally close the next day and he thought she was going to pull our loan so I bit my tongue and sent an apology txt to her just to save face but I only did that so my family would have a home to move into. I lost my old home in a XXXX and buying a home was suppose to be a good happy time. XXXX gave us broken promises, threats, and used our personal info in our file to threaten me. On top of all of this nobody ever went over my loan with me. I did not know I was paying points to buy down the interest rate until I went to closing. I was quoted the rate but did not know I was paying for it.

This amount {$380.00} was setup over the phone to be paid that same day. This amount was now more than double my original purchase amount. When I got my next statement it showed additional interest was charged that was not included yet I had asked for a payoff amount during my call.
