Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: U.S. BANCORP (TX)

Hi I closed my US bank checking account on XXXX XXXX. I was told a check would be mailed to me with the remaining balance in the account. I waited for almost a month and the check never arrived. So I contacted the bank early XXXX to inform them that the check went missing and the rep I spoke to requested a form to be mailed to me. I then need to fill out and notarize the form and then mail it back so they can issue a new check. I waited for another month and the form never arrived. We verified many times that the address I have on file is correct. So I contacted the bank again at least three times last and this week and even spoke to a supervisor trying to get this resolved asap. But everytime there was no resolution and when they told me they would call me back, never called. They could not find the same person I spoke to in their system so I had to keep repeating myself everytime I called. I have never received any status update from the bank whatsoever. It has been really frustrating to not be able to get my funds back since XXXX last year.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC (IL)

Nationstar is the servicer on my loan and makes payments from the escrow it holds for taxes and insurance. 
My insurance agent sent on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX a certificate of insurance for XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and an invoice in the amount of {$4300.00} ( copy enclosed ). This invoice was not paid by Nationstar until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ( proof enclosed ). In the interim period on XXXX XXXX, XXXX Nationstar issued a check number XXXX on a false and fraudulent invoice to a XXXX and check cleared XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I finally got this payment information from Nationstar on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX after many calls and complaints. I was also given the policy number XXXX and the general phone number for XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX and the accounting department XXXX XXXX XXXX and told to contact them for a refund. I have contacted that number and been told that the agent is out of the office and will return my calls. I have also requested from Nationstar a copy of the certificate of insurance issued by XXXX XXXX for the period XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and none has ever been produced. 
I only became aware of this double payment when I was doing my income taxes for XXXX in XXXX XXXX and noticed on the prior escrow analysis ( copy included ) that Nationstar paid out of escrow {$4300.00} in XXXX XXXX and {$4300.00} in XXXX of XXXX. I had never received any notice from them regarding my property insurance after they double paid. Basic escrow management of insurance disbursements were ignored in a negligent manner. If I or my insurance company had been notified in XXXX of XXXX regarding this double billing we would have solved it. Since this double payment was a result of their negligence to follow basic requirements I should be reimbursed for their error and proper adjustment made in their procedures to avoid having this happen again. I have no idea who this XXXX XXXX XXXX is and never authorized their coverage. Nor should it be my responsibility to unwind their error and seek the reimbursement myself. 
This sloppy management gives my concern that Nationstar has far wider problems with servicing their loans and escrows and should be investigated further to get at the source of this mistake and if this is a systematic source of fraud.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (DE)

I went over my credit report ( XX/XX/year>2024 ) and noticed inaccurate information reporting on my credit. My credit report is reporting I was late for an car loan account which I was never late for. I reached out to the creditor as well as the credit bureaus and requested material evidence supporting that I was ever late for this account. I asked for proof via statements, late payment warnings, anything that can validate this inaccurate information reporting on my credit report which nothing has been supplied by neither creditor or credit bureaus. I really feel as though the credit bureaus are neglecting their responsibilities under the FRCA as far as investigating and substantiating the errors and the consumers are suffering as a result.

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. 


( XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, ) Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).
