Company: FIRST CITIZENS BANCSHARES, INC. (TN)

The bank arbitrarily froze my account and there is no way to get in contact with the department responsible. All I am able to get is the vague promise that they will reach out to me to review what is going on, and in the meantime I am completely locked out of my account. I can not even access basic services like statements and in the meantime my money is tied up indeterminately and I can not access it at all. 

I was told this " review '' process can take up to 90 days, which is completely unacceptable for an account where I have my money to pay monthly dues. And the only way to get past the block is to wait for a call that will come at the bank 's discretion since I can not initiate the communication myself.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC (LA)

In XXXX, my loan was transferred from NewRez to Shellpoint. I was not aware that my loan had been transferred until I attempted to make a payment and obtain an insurance check that I had forwarded to New Rez from XXXX in XXXX. The insurance check was from an insurance claim resulting in New Rez sending XXXX XXXX XXXX to my home, as a part of their property preservation team, and they destroyed my home and stole items from my home in XX/XX/2023. Once the loan was transferred to XXXX XXXX, I continued to make my payments for the months of XXXX and XXXX but often was denied on the first tries and told that it was a legal issue pending and they could not discuss the legal issue with me, but later would agree to take the payments after speaking to one of their supervisors. When I called in to make my XXXX payment, I was told the same thing but this time, I was told that the loan was in the final modification stages and not to make a payment because it may affect the payment arrangements of the modification. I contacted the loss mitigation department but did not receive a return phone call. In XXXX, I looked online and saw there were two reported correspondences that I never received via email. The two correspondences had the terms of the modification that I never received. I was told that once the modification was finalized, Shellpoint would arrange for a notary. When I called on XX/XX/XXXX to inform them that I wanted to follow through with the modification but had not received the documents by postal services, no one returned my phone call. As a result, I called again on XX/XX/2023 and was questioned as to whether or not I was an attorney or did I have attorney, I informed them that I was not an attorney and that I had not obtained an attorney. The representative assigned to me, XXXX XXXX, informed me that he would have it all straighten out and would call me on XX/XX/2023 ( today ). Prior to this, I received a phone call from an attorney form NewRez on XX/XX/2023 regarding my insurance payments but have not spoken to her, at this time. My concern is that I am been in conflict with both companies since XXXX, when the incident occurred with XXXX, without any resolution, and concerned that I may be victimized again.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (NY)

I have opened a credit card with American Express - XXXX XXXX Business card I was charged the annual fee of {$190.00} on XX/XX/year>. I have cancelled the card on XX/XX/year>. Upon the American Express representative reading the closing disclosure to me- he has not mentioned that my annual fee will not be waived. This is the annual fee for the year that I have not used or will not be using. 

I have contacted American Express customer service a week after closure and asked to waive the annual fee. I said that the person who read me the cancellation disclosure has not mentioned to me about that the annual fee will not get refunded. They started a case number and said will get back to me around 1-2 weeks and sometimes longer. However, it has been a month and I haven't heard back. I called back to American Express and they said the case got declined. I contacted AmEx two more times after saying I dont want to pay for something I was not acknoledged and for the service I will not be using. Let alone the charge since XX/XX/XXXX I have not used the card. I will not be using the card since it is cancelled so I am paying for the 10 months of annual fee for the services I can't be using.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (WA)

I, XXXX XXXX was added as a authorized user on the account and they are reporting to XXXX specifically and the other bureaus that I was the account holder. I was authorized on the account from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. The derogatory information on the account was dated from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX whereas I was never the holder of the account. 

This is preventing me from refinancing my property because it has decreased my score based on the wrong reporting user versus holder and the derogatory accounts whereas I was never even authorized for use. 

the case number they provided is # XXXX and they say that it will take 90 days to resolve and I am being charged {$5000.00} for an extension of my loan until its corrected. 

XXXX  will only accept this in writing and will not correct this situation in a timely fashion. 

Can I bill them for the additioanl fees? 

post script : they stated that I must provide my social security number in writing or they will not be able to assist me. This goes against any type of privacy laws that are enacted. 

And they gave me XXXX different addresses to resolve this matter. This is ridiculous and a complete waste of time and I have had no less than 3+ hours on the phone to resolve.

My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported in MONTHS REPORTING LATE to be removed They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

This company never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports.
