Issue: Taking out the loan or lease — 
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (PA)

I applied for the XXXX update every year program at an XXXX. XXXX did a credit check through Citizens One Loans Personal who did not approve request for the following reasons : GARNISHMENT, ATTACHMENT, FORECLOSURE, REPOSSESSION, JUDGEMENT, OR COLLECTION on my XXXX Credit Report. None of the above actions have ever been taken against me nor is any of this information on my XXXX credit report. 
I attempted to resolve this issue with the bank directly but was told to file a dispute with XXXX. But as it was not on my XXXX report I was unable to dispute this statement. After contacting this Citizens One Personal Loans about 5 times I discovered they had used the wrong date of birth. Citizens One claims the social security information was correct but the DOB they used was XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. My correct birthdate is XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
I requested the negative credit check be deleted from my credit history as it was based on incorrect information. Citizens One refuses to do so and has advised me to contact XXXX but XXXX states the credit check is based on factual information. 
Citizens Bank has admitted to using an incorrect birthdate and this leaves me at a loss as to how to proceed. 
Citizens One Personal Loans does the credit checks for XXXX but thus far XXXX has not responded to my complaint either. I have filed a complaint with CFPB already and they too are working on this. As this is a complaint about a retail credit loan I am also filing a complaint with you regarding the XXXX XXXX XXXX and their credit check procedures.

I immediately notified the credit bureau to look into this matter because I have n't had any business with XXXX or ERC no phone call or mail stating I owe anything. The credit bureau did there investigations and deleted it from my file. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and I check my report and there 's another collection from the same company this time saying XXXX again in which I never even had business with XXXX or ERC this company is damaging my credit with false information.

I am shocked that XXXX XXXX XXXX has refused to review my complete modification packet despite being told to submit a new packet while my appeal is being reviewed. Apparently, they are using my active sale date for XXXX XXXX against me even though they were aware of my sale date since I constantly voiced my fear of losing my home. However, I provided all documents needed for a modification review but XXXX does not want to move forward and review my loan. I have an appeal letter currently under review with XXXX and was promised to have a rush review due to having the active sale date. But again, XXXX is using it against me that I did not submit my modification packet before the 37 days but how can I summit a packet when my appeal is under review? Clearly, I am being set up for failure to ensure I lose my home. When I submitted my appeal I was told the sale date would be canceled if a decision was not reached or if it was I would still be able to resubmit. They lied and the appeal assures they will not move forward with a foreclosure should one be pending. Moreover, I was advice by agent XXXX ID # XXXX that in order to have my sale date put on hold or suspended I needed to submit a complete packet. Obviously, I because suspicious because the appeal states after the outcome I would have 30 days to re-apply but yet she requested I immediately submit a packet since the decision for appeal was pending. Now, because I submitted the packet they are using it against me despite having my appeal under review. This is grossly unjust and they need to stop doing this to struggling home \owners such as myself. I am in shocked and absolutely angry with the way they set me up to fail. I am in tears because as a single mother you can only imagine the XXXX I am experience at being left homeless.I have and continue to do everything XXXX has requested of me. The modifications offered in the past where not affordable and was told they would be reviewing me for the HAMP Tier 2 and not to worry. I am reaching out to you as my last desperate attempt to help me. They need to stop my foreclosure date as told and considered for the HAMP Tier 2. Please I hope you help me and I do not lose my home. Thank you so much for listening and helping me with this.

Company: Monterey Financial Services LLC (CA)

ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO, I contacted a camp ground membership and asked how to end my membership ; I followed their instructions and was told that my membership was terminated. I did n't expect any problems and accepted their word for it. 

About 5 years later, this collection company started calling me numerous times a day, every day. I told them I do not owe this debt. They have persisted for a number of years. 

Recently, NEARLY 10 YEARS LATER ( AFTER STATUE OF LIMITATIONS HAVE EXPIRED ) they had it put on my credit report ( in 2015 ). 

It is not a legitimate debt! 
The statute of limitations expired years ago! 
And it was illegal for them to attach it to my credit!

Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC (CA)

In XXXX I purchased a home in XXXX, CA. I took out a 30 year interest only loan. In addition, I was told I needed to take out a adjustable HELOC for my downpayment. XXXX year later the housing market collapsed. My wife and I had extreme financial hardships. I am XXXX XXXX with XXXX, and my wife had lost her job. We spent years applying for home loan modifications that never seem to get anywhere. In the mean time we stopped paying the HELOC because the payment became to high and our home was very underwater. I was forced to file chapter XXXX bankruptcy as XXXX XXXX XXXX raised my payment while granting me a terrible loan modification. The terms were awful. My wife and I could not afford to relocate as I was no longer working. It was not until I found this website that I finally made a complaint about what I had been through with XXXX XXXX XXXX. With the help of your organization we were finally offered an affordable loan modification. We have been paying our loan mod since aprox - XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX. 

I am writing you because I received a letter from XXXX XXXX about some loan I may or may not have with them. The HELOC loan was originally with XXXX XXXX XXXX but we stopped payments back in XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX because the house was upside down. and XXXX XXXX XXXX sold it so many times we could not keep track of it. I currently do not have any financial information on this debt. The last letter I have regarding a HELOC is from XXXX XXXX XXXX saying it was being sold to SLS Lending dated XXXX. Even then, XXXX XXXX did not have the amount of the debt nor any history of payments, etc. This letter was dated way back XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. That is a long time ago and I have no way of knowing what my payment history was, fees incurred, who has the original title, transfer or sale dates of the loan., etc. So I have not heard anything about this since XX/XX/XXXX. Today, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received a letter from SLS. Something about RESPA and QRW and possible enforcement of the lien. But there is no other information on there. I thought HELOCs did not have RESPA rights to information so I do not understand what this letter is for. I can not afford to make anymore payments as I am XXXX and my wife can only work part time. That is why I received a loan modification for my home on a financial hardship term. I do not have the means or resources to leave my home based on a HELOC that may or may not be valid. We still owe a very large amount of this debt vs. the worth of the home. I will be forced to file Chapter XXXX for protection.

XXXX XXXX, 2017. In receipt of another generated response to the complaints filed with WFHM and after providing documents / receipts / Bank statements / direct payments WFHM excluded in their records. The information WFHM provided says nothing new, does not fully explain why they excluded pertinent information and why they are not reporting my mortgage to the credit bureaus. Additionally why WFHM continues to report my mortgage payments as late or not made at all, when they clearly have all of the information, receipts, etc, provided by myself and the Wells Fargo Branches. I have consistently reported this issue to the CFPB only to have WFHM send the CFPB generated responses, with no end result. The other issue I have is that WFHM is directly affecting my ability to re-finance, it also is directly affecting my credit score and ability to obtain new employment. To make matters worst WFHM in sending the incorrect information to re-finance, have directly resulted in a denial. With the information provided ( All Payment History/Month by Month ), WFHM will continually state that the information on their end still has missing payments. It would take a simple phone call to the branches to where the payments were made to resolve this information and clear up any confusion. Resulting in a apology letter from WFHM and compensation of any late fees attached.

I answered a solicitation to have my personnel vehicle wrapped in a particular logo earning $ XXXX/week for 12 weeks. The sender mailed a check to me for {$2900.00}. This was to give the first week 's payment ( {$500.00} ) and the rest was to use towards the installation process ( {$2400.00} ). I was to send {$1200.00} ( XXXX ) to ( XXXX ) different people, using XXXX to send the money. This was part of the scam, stating an installation team would show up at my residence to wrap my vehicle and then remove the wrap after the 12 week period. 
When I received the check, I used the Navy Federal Credit Union ( my bank ) " edeposit '' method to deposit the check into my checking account. On " good faith '' NFCU honored the check within 2 days. On the third day, NFCU found the check to be fraudulent and took {$2900.00} from my account. I have filed a police report about the solicitation scam and realize I have loss that money. If NFCU would have not on " good faith '' put those funds in my account, I would have never proceeded any further.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — 
Company: U.S. BANCORP (WI)

I am contacting you with full authority from the consumer ... .I am filing this complaint from a Wisconsin car dealership on behalf of our customer. Here is what happened. Our customer lease a vehicle from US bank 3 years ago through our dealership. She wanted to buy her lease out and trade it in to our dealership as she was at the end of her lease. US bank told us that she had to go through a bank branch or it would be substantially more money for her to buy it out. So we told her to go to the US Bank branch that is across the street from our dealership. She did so on XXXX/XXXX/15 and she converted the lease to a loan and financed {$15000.00}. She then came over to our dealership after signing the loan documents with them and proceeded to trade the vehicle in to us and lease a different vehicle. Since the loan was so new it was difficult for them to determine the exact payoff but they told her that there would be a {$100.00} early termination penalty loan payoff plus {$1.00} per day in interest so we used a payoff amount of her loan of {$15000.00} even though it was confusing to us why they would even have a {$100.00} early termination penalty on a loan in the state of Wisconsin. Now they are telling us that we are short an additional {$78.00} and some odd cents which again does not make any sense and we tried contacting US Bank and they have no explanation for the difference. This customer is super upset and we do n't know what to tell her for the reason of the additional monies.
