Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: Onity Group Inc. (AL)

In XX/XX/XXXX we entered into a forbearance plan for the months of XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. My mortgage company PHH Mortgage called me in or about XX/XX/XXXX. I was informed that the FHA insurance had been approved to cover the XXXX through XXXX amounts. I was told to resume my payments on XX/XX/XXXX. I paid my mortgage payment as agreed XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. During this time I received calls from PHH. In late XXXX PHH said that they did not receive documents from me. I told them I sent them in the self addressed stamped envelope. They sent new documents for me to resign which I did. I also had tracking placed on this return envelope. I talked to PHH again on XX/XX/XXXX at when I was told everything was in order again. Then as I began to make my XXXX payment it would not take my payment. I called on or about XX/XX/XXXX I was told the notary on the previous document was no good because the doc had my name as XXXX XXXX and I signed in front of the Notary as XXXX XXXX XXXX ( which is the name on my deed and how I have signed my name since I was 12 ). I sent up an appointment with a loan specialist on XX/XX/XXXX, I was told they would send a new packet for me to start over and that I would have to do another forbearance. So feeling like I might be in trouble I agreed. I never received another set of papers to start the FHA insurance claim again. They never arrived so on XX/XX/XXXX I called PHH again where the person told me they did not need to send paper he could do the claim over the phone. I did this and he told me to call back in about 10 days. I also discussed the fact that my credit report was reporting me 120 days late and I felt that this was bordering on negligence maybe even criminal. On XX/XX/XXXX I called PHH again to check on the claim. I was told it was still pending and they would have a relationship manager call me on the XXXX of XXXX at XXXX. They also said they had not addressed the credit reporting of my mortgage. This continues to go in circles, the left hand knows not what the right hand is doing at PHH. I am able to resume my payments but can not get anything straight from PHH. This is resulting in stress over my family home and a bad mark on my credit report. Maybe the CFPB can help to get them to resolve this matter and stop sending me from agent to agent to hear a different excuse and kick the can down the road.

Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response from the 3Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you. They have shown negligence and an act of refusal of complying with my request. I know for a fact that they are to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law, to provide proof, and documents, and give definite and accurate responses, within the given statutory time. However, if they failed to do so, they are obliged to remove or update the items which are erroneous and unverified. Their unfavorable and unacceptable actions have been hurting my credit scores immensely.

Company: Chime Financial Inc (KY)

On XX/XX/XXXX I used my Chime account to make a ( pay anyone transfer ). It is advertised that someone without a chime account can receive a text and a secure link to receive money without having to sign up for Chime. I owed someone XXXX and sent the transfer to their phone number. This person doesnt have a chime account. After the transfer was sent the person that was supposed to be receiving it did not get a text message with a link from chime. Instead, the lady that used to have the phone number ( previously owed the phone number ). Received a chime to chime transfer of XXXX. The person I was paying bought a new phone and got a new number 2 months before I attempted to send money to him with the number. The lady that previously owed the number didnt update her chime account and take the number off. I have disputed and rebuttaled with chime and they continue to deny my claim and tell me that they consider this matter closed. The wrong person received my money and they could care less.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (CA)

During vision XXXX, I signed up for an Alpheon Credit Card in order to take advantage of a promotion. Both the medical practitioner as well as the credit company represented to me that this promotion would allow me to pay the balance of my XXXX costs ( approx. {$4000.00} ) interest free over XXXX years. 

Thereafter, every month, I would receive an email reminding me that I had an upcoming payment. I was expecting to make such a payment on a monthly basis and understood that they would have divided the {$4000.00} balance owed over a period of 36 months and charge me for that amount each month. 

My vision XXXX was in XXXX. My expectation was that the payments would continue until XXXX. When I last checked my account, I realized that the the company had started charging interest in XXXX, including a lumpsum interest in the amount of $ XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX for failing to pay off the balance of the card. Thereafter, Alpheon began charging monthly interest in the amount of $ XXXX every month, even though I believed that I was still on the promotional timetable. 

My understanding is that Alpheon, both in making the initial promotion, as well as during the course of the promotion, intentionally and/or fraudulently made representations that were untrue regarding the terms surrounding the promotion. Alpheon also failed to keep me apprised of the status of the payments, or that interest was being charged. Furthermore, Alpheon failed to warn or otherwise make clear that a lumpsum interest payment ( accrued as of that date ) would be charged if the balance on the card was not paid off by a certain date. Alpheon had my email and phone number, and failed to make any reasonable effort to clarify and/or explain the upcoming charges. It is my belief that Alpheon intentionally attempted to make difficult to assess or otherwise concealed the interest charges in the hopes that consumers would not notice. 

Had I not confirmed and calculated the remaining amounts owed on this account, it would have taken me 15 years, making the minimum payment, to pay off the balance, and Alpheon would have charged nearly {$6000.00} worth of interest on top of the initial cost of the procedure.

To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts.
