Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation — No notice of investigation status/result
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (OR)

Equifax updated my credit report lowering my score over XXXX points. They state on the front because it is due to a recent serious Derogatory item on my report - I of course disputed this through them as wel as on this site. I have been working on my credit for over 5 years and knew that I never paid late. So rather than fixint the error they sent me my credit report which of course shows NO late payments in over 8 years. So not only did they send PROOF that there were no late payments on my accounts they are reporting that there ARE. SInce this is NOT showing on my credit report from any of my account holders. Thye need to provide the creditor that is reporting me late since it is NOT on my report. The report does me good. There is also a serious issue where half of my monthly payments are showing " no data avail '' however the payments have been made which shows on my XXXX as WELL as my XXXX. That needs to be updated as well. This one incident has caused me SERIOUS financial problems as my credit score reflects my ability to pay rent and maintain the balances on the cards I have. I want to know if I have any legal recourse for this as this clearly a breakdown on their end. I should not have to dispute this report on a monthly or even weekly basis. They have a responsiblillty to maintain correct information.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (ME)

While living in North Carolina around XX/XX/2011 I considered filing for bankruptcy. I sent for the paperwork and submitted it and then was told the information was incomplete and could not go further. At the same time I received a good job offer and decided not to pursue the bankruptcy any further. I thought the matter was closed when upon review of my credit report, I find that the bankruptcy was listed as dismissed. On 3 different occasions I wrote to all XXXX reporting bureaus asking that this be removed. I did so using certified mail and each time the response was the same, they ca n't do anything about it and so it has to stay on. I have gone to great lengths to rebuild my credit since XX/XX/2011 and returning to the work force yet this error keeps hanging over my head. 

Please have it removed from all credit reports. Thank you.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA)

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Applications were done in my name, I don't recognize these fraudulent inquiries nor have authorized them, resulting in my credit report being pulled up by these companies, hurting my credit score and may also suggest potential identity theft adding more harm to me. I have contacted the bureau and a representative told me that they would be deleted from my credit report but I still see it, it's adding unnecessary stress in my life.

Hospital debt from XXXX XXXX - charged off to Merchants Credit Association. Ongoing garnishment through employer for many years - it seemed cyclical - every 6 weeks or so. Thought nothing when the employer began taking $ from check but this time I did not receive paperwork. Found out from the creditor $ was not given to them and employer did not send any {$.00} Creditor informed me that they had sent the usual writ of garnishment but they employer did not respond. Creditor informed me that the debt was now the employers responsibility. One year later creditor performed a bank levy - when asked about the employer they stated 'it was easier to clean out your account than to get him to respond '. When I told them they said it was the employers responsibility I was told it was up to them to decide who to go after and to 'call back when I was more informed of what the laws were ' When I asked how much $ was left on the debt I was informed I only owed approx {$250.00} I was told they would call me with an exact amount once the levy went through so I could pay it off. XXXX {$510.00} cleaned out of my account again. They said they did n't have to call me if they did not want to. I asked for proof that they even contacted the employer - was informed as the debtor I do not have access to that I would have to get a court order. I can not prove that funds were taken from my paychecks since my employer never gave me check stubs - currently working with XXXX on that.

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION (DE)

On XXXX/XXXX/15 at XXXX atm location XXXX I went to the atm to make a cash deposit as I always do. The bank was closed at this time. I selected the option to make a deposit and put the amount of {$640.00} into the slot that collects the deposits. After that the machine said there was an error and the atm was unavailable to use. It rejected only {$2.00} cash instead of giving back the amount I inserted of {$640.00}. Then a receipt printed out saying " deposit error unable to process transaction ''. I then called the bank and reported what happened and filed a claim. Following that I faxed a copy of the receipt the atm printed to the bank. I received a provisional credit for the amount of {$630.00}. Then I received a letter on XX/XX/XXXX stating they reviewed my account and they determined the transaction was processed correctly and no error had occurred and they would be deducting the {$630.00} provisional credit on XXXX/XXXX/15. I then called the bank again and was told that there was no overage in the atm so they had to deny my claim. There was no review of the surveillance tape which you would have been able to see me count the {$640.00} and deposit it into the atm. If my transaction was processed correctly and no error occurred then there would be record of my deposit and the atm would not have printed a receipt saying deposit error unable to process transaction. I feel that the bank failed to thoroughly investigate my claim. I am also going to small claims court to file a claim to take this matter to court. I have had the same checking and savings accounts for thirteen years, since I was XXXX years old and have never overdrawn my account or had any negative activity. After always having the same accounts and being comfortable with the company for so long I will now have to take my business elsewhere. Enclosed is a copy of the receipt that printed out at the atm and also the letter I received stating my claim was denied.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (WI)

I have attempted numerous times to get straight answers from Nationstar and the lawyer they hired to foreclose on me in WI. After a lot of research and after finally getting documents from Nationstar I was able to prove that it was Nationstar that filed a fraudulent assignment with the Register of Deeds and with the Court. Nationstar likes to say they just get their documents from the MERC system, but if you look at the proof I am providing you will see it was a Nationstar notary who signed the assignment and the assignment took place in XX/XX/XXXX when they were servicing the loan. An assignment to XXXX Bank as trustee could not have occurred in XX/XX/XXXX because this particular trust closed in XX/XX/XXXX. Also Nationstar owns agencies that have been sendng representatives to my home to " break-in '' even when they do not have any legal right to be on my property. They claim that they determined my property was abandoned based on fraudulent information. Nationstar said they were taking my complaint seriously, but they never followed up and recently sent yet another person to my home, who came to my home at XXXX and he attempted to break-in until my dogs started barking. I am attaching all of my proof and I am contemplating filing a federal lawsuit against them. Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated. Please see attachments for further explanation.

We refinanced with Nationstar mortgage XX/XX/XXXX and we have never been late or delinquent in our payment. 
We made two payments XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX of them ( XX/XX/XXXX, which was paid early and intended for XX/XX/XXXX ) was misapplied by Nationstar to the principal by mistake. In addition monthly payments were short XXXX cents for a total of XXXX cents, which was remedied by a payment of {$1.00} and acknowledged by Nationstar. We had been speaking with Nationstar representatives and received a written note from them on XX/XX/XXXX that this matter is resolved. We were assured after each phone call that the account would be rectified and that " we should not worry about it reported as delinquent ''. However, on XXXX XXXX to our astonishment we received XXXX reports from our credit monitoring company XXXX stating that our perfect credit score is ruined because of XXXX has reported that we are delinquent in our payment for 30-60 days. Despite phone calls, written messages and online efforts we have not heard back from the company. 
This matter is particularly important to us since XXXX is a XXXX who works full-time and requires good credit for student loans of which he now is under scrutiny from credit agencies. I trust you will intervene to resolve this matter and make sure that Nationstar cures our credit reports and states to credit reporting agencies that they have reported us by error.

Issue: APR or interest rate — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NM)

I had opened a Chase Freedom credit card with Chase. I also had XXXX other accounts related to this company. On XXXX 2015 statement it clearly identifies that the 0 % promotion was still active and that it was going to be expiring in XX/XX/2015. That is all that it showed ; it did not give a specific date indicating the promotional expiration. 

I paid the card off in full by the due date and thought everything was ok ; I paid off the 0 % balance. 

Then in XX/XX/XXXX statement they charged me XXXX in interest charges. I tried contacting the company and XXXX " supervisors '' ( XXXX and XXXX ) refused to refund the interest charges. They then claimed that the promotion expired on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and that their interest charge was valid. If that were true ; why did the statement generated on XXXX/XXXX/2015 still indicate that there was still a promotion and still showed XX/XX/2015 as the expiration date?!?!?! 

Not only is all of this misleading I think this company is trying to take as much money from people as they can. This is the XXXX company that has ever done something like this and I do n't think I am the only person who they are doing this to. I pay off my credit cards every month and I also pay off my 0 % balances. 

As of today XXXX/XXXX/2015 I have closed ALL ACCOUNTS with Chase. Even a recently opened Amazon account. They lost a customer over XXXX interest charges ; that just tells me this company is working under false practices and does not care about their customers. 

I would like for this company to be investigated as much as possible. It is not right what they are doing. On a final note ; I know that cancelling the cards will affect my credit score .... but I am willing to take that hit and separate myself from a corrupt corporation. 

I will be uploading my XXXX and XXXX statements. Keep in mind when reading them that they indicated to me over the phone that the expiration was XXXX/XXXX/2015 ; but, nowhere does it state this on the statements. And in XXXX statement the notes in regards to the promotional balance are gone ; which if the expiration was truly XXXX/XXXX/2015 then it should have been removed from the statement generated XXXX/XXXX/2015 as well.

My mortgage is currently serviced by Nation Star. My regular monthly payments are {$500.00} per month and Nation Star has imposed {$530.00}, {$530.00} and {$530.00} monthly charges over the last 60 months ( see attached ). Nation Star claims that the increase in the overall escrow is due to an increase in taxes. However, my taxes were reduced from {$860.00} to {$510.00} per month, due to Kentucky Homestead law. My P & I is {$450.00} per month and since my taxes equal {$43.00} per month, therefore my monthly payment should equal {$490.00} per month. Overall, have been overcharged {$34.00} for a sixty month period, which equals a total amount of {$2000.00} overcharged. On XX/XX/2016 Nation Star demanded payment of {$920.00}, even though I have made all of my payments timely each month. Nation Star advised that these funds needed to be paid in order to avoid foreclosure. Nation Star has refused to prove up the math behind the alleged delinquent amounts. The statements that they have issued have not matched the oral amounts listed. Both CFPB mortgage servicing laws and RESPA law require that transparency within accounting be present during mortgage servicing. Nation Star is in violation of both CFPB and RESPA law. Overall, I feel cheated and deceived by Nation Star and I am seeking your assistance on this matter.

The approval was good until XXXX/XXXX/2016 but we were told to close by XXXX/XXXX/2016 ( a Sunday ) or the loan would be service transferred. We submitted the recorded documents to XXXX on Monday XX/XX/XXXX2016 as is required and was told that the loan had been serviced transferred on Tuesday XXXX/XXXX/2016 AFTER XXXX had received the funds and the recording documents. The representative let us know that they had sent the short sale funds as well as all related documents to Nationstar. ( Final XXXX & XXXX XXXX Deed attached ) We contacted Nationstar and was told that we would have to wait until the loan had been " boarded '' before they could let us know the disposition. In the meantime, I had moved out of my property on XXXX XXXX, 2016 as required by the purchase contract. 
Nationstar has received the short sale funds and my realtor has been in contact with them and has sent them every document that they have requested. On XXXX XXXX, 2016 we received an approval letter from Nationstar with a request to have additional paperwork signed and notarized. ( attached ) These documents were immediately sent back to Nationstar that afternoon. 

As of yesterday my Realtor was told that the file was in the closing department and we should have word that day. 
My Realtor has been calling and emailing all day and there has been no response from Nationstar. 

The transaction closed on XX/XX/XXXX,2016 and XXXX service transferred this loan even though they were aware that we were closing. Nationstar has in its possession the short sale agreement, the recording documents and the money. This is unfair! I am living in a motel because I ca n't move forward until this transaction is finished.
