Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (CA)

In XXXX, Freedom mortgage directed an unauthorized ( meaning not authorized by me ) allocation of funds from interest to principle. Instead of dividing the payment for XXXX into allocations of both interest and principle, they allocated 100 % of the payment to principle. I do not know why they did this and they are unwilling to admit to why they did this. Freedom mortgage reported that I missed a payment towards the interest of the loan for the month of XXXX. This has impacted my credit score which has dropped as much as XXXX points. 

Freedom Mortgage has called me stating they are a debt collector and requested that I not cash any checks they sent to me. 

Prior to XXXX I requested removal of PMI since I was eligible because my account was in good standing. 

They approved the removal of PMI and implemented it but the implantation resulted in accounting errors and miscommunication between internal departments. They incorrectly pro-rated over-payment of the PMI amount prior it's approved removal and started sending me checks in that amount. The month the PMI was to be removed was the same month the misallocation of the monthly autopayment was made to 100 % principle.

They now state they have not made inaccurate reports to credit bureau 's but have stated that they have amended reports to state that my account is " current ''

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (AZ)

On XX/XX/2019 I made a cross-country move. My move was sub-contracted out to a company that was NOT of my choosing ( my original contract was not with these people ) and the company that showed up that day was unknown to me. It turns out they have multiple XXXX complaints against them for fraudulent business practices. For my move, they sent one of their employees and he picked up four day laborers from my local area who had never done moving work before. They handled my items roughly, broke a few things, and one of them stole a bag containing a passport and other identifying items ( this last was verified by the police ). The moving company also took my household goods hostage in the truck and would not move anything unless I paid double, almost {$3000.00} more than was in the contract. I will note that handling my items in this way is against federal regulation and laws applying to interstate moves. 

I paid with my XXXX Citibank Visa because they had everything I owned and I was not in a position to fight them, alone in my house. After the move, realizing how badly the movers had manipulated me, I contacted XXXX, who advised me to file a dispute with Citi before I attempt legal action. I filed the dispute on XX/XX/19 and was told that I would be contacted shortly to provide documents, photos, and anything else I had to support my dispute. However, two days later, on XX/XX/19, my dispute was closed " resolved '' and the reason given was the merchant had performed a service and deserved to be paid. 

I immediately called customer service at Citi and was directed to someone in the disputes department, who listened to my story, heard that I paid the movers twice - once with the card to get them to actually move my stuff, and once with cash - and I have documentation proving this, and he said I had a good case to reopen the dispute and cite double-charging. He told me to email my story and any supporting documents to XXXX and my case would be re-opened for review. 

I gathered everything together and on XX/XX/19 I emailed a full accounting of the moving experience, photos of my items, and copies of the conflicting contracts and receipts with the movers to Citi. As of XX/XX/19, however, I had heard nothing, could find no evidence of action on my dispute and nothing had changed on my online account. I called customer service again and was directed to another person, who said she could see my email had been received but all my attachments were corrupt. I asked why no one had responded to me to indicate receipt or that there was a problem, and she had no answer for me. She simply suggested I re-send.

I re-sent everything that same day. However it is XX/XX/19 and still my dispute has not been reopened, and when I call today, I can not reach a live person who can help me.

My account with XXXX  XXXX - XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX 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 me 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 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. 


XXXX  XXXX - XXXX 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!

I received a prepaid gift card as a gift and I've been having difficulty using it. I went online to try to register the card but kept getting prompted to call the number because there were issues with it. When I called the number, I kept getting UNHELPFUL and RUDE agents who were quick to hang up on me without answering anything. I asked for help registering my card because the website didn't work and they kept directing me back to the website ( where I was getting the error ). They said they could also transfer me to their automated phone department to register, but every time they tried to transfer me, it took me to a customer survey and then automatically hung up. I tried with over XXXX different agents. When I asked XXXX agent to check my gift card balance, she said " {$0.00} ''. I asked her how could I have XXXX when I've never even used this gift card before? and she hung up on me. Overall, this company is a SCAM and it's clear from their customer service that they have no intention of ever giving customers their rightfully owed money. The customer service agents were actually the worst people I've ever dealt with.

I was forced into prostitution and trafficked ; and later the criminal case was expunged ( destroyed ). I provided the court documents ( no pages missing ) for the expungement and crime, yet the credit reporting agency has given me pushback. Their tactics to stall and deny trafficked survivors need to be stopped. They are attempting to use the XXXX review to unnecessarily cause victims additional harm. I have provided a copy of sensitive court documents that are being passed around an office, only to be denied. They have given me a hard-time in an already very difficult situation.
