Consumer complaint received 2019-05-14
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: EVERBANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (OK)

Our home mortgage loan was transferred from XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX to TIAA BANK, effective XX/XX/19. 

I set up a user name and password to access my account and was successful in doing so. I visited my account several times after the initial establishment of online access, but one day I could no longer log in to my account. I contacted customer service and I was told the reason for this problem : TIAA BANK can only be accessed with XXXX XXXX and my XXXX XXXX browser was incompatible, but their I.T. Dept. was " working on it ''. I was told if I wanted to gain access to my account, I should download XXXX XXXX. 

What gives?? I've NEVER heard of this from any company I do business with. It appears that TIAA is trying to steer me to use XXXX XXXX This sounds ludicrous, dishonest and possibly illegal. I don't want to download XXXX XXXX or anything else. I contacted TIAA through social media today again, after I tried to login to my account with no success. A CSR contacted me after a few hours, only to apologize for the situation and that their I.T. Dept. was still working on this problem.

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (AP)

USAA froze our credit card and refused to unlock it. We spent over 40 hours on the phone trying to fix the issue. They could not identify or fix the issue. We can not use our cards. They also canceled my husbands debit card by accident ( which they have admitted ). We have no way of getting money out or paying for anything. USAA advertised they serve overseas personnel, which is a major reason person utilize their services. But help is only available US central time. Representatives working off hours do not have the authority to help or trouble shoot issues. False advertising.

XXXX used my information, meaning IDENTITY THEFT AND FRAUD. I didn't give them permission at all to use my personal information. I have sent them countless emails for them to remove these inquiries and bogus accounts. I even sent them 15 USC 1681c-2 and 15 USC 1681B ( a ) they continue to disperse my information to other agencies, and it is extremely frustrating to gain good credit, house, car or credit, because they are accessing incorrect information, and without my permission to use ANY OF MY PERSONAL INFORMATION. They have constantly ignored me, after asking and demanding that they remove these items! They also ignored the USC-laws as well.

Please see that these items are indeed removed.

The  Company,  TransWorld Systems Inc, has begun garnishment before sending me a copy of this loan, which is not my loan. I demanded over and over for months the copy of the note, and all other information of the loan and me, they had. After, they started garnishment they finally sent me the note only. Which turns out is not my note. The signature is obviously not my signature, and I was living in  XXXX , with the  XXXX   XXXX  at the time. They should have sent me the copy of the note, so I could know what they were talking about, and distpute the note. I believe, they knew the note was fraudulent and waited to start the garnishment, so I could not distpute the loan. This deniad me the right to distpute the note. When ever I talk to the  TransWord Systems  operators, I go in circles with them. This is every single time I talk with them. I am certain, they sent me the note, not until, after they started garnishment deliberately, because they know it is not my note ; some how. I was deliberately denied, by  TransWorld,  the right to distpute this note, by them refusing to sending my information and the copy of the fraudulent note. I can proof this is not my note, by the obviously fraudulent signature and the date the note was signed. This is not my note. Is n't this illegal?

I 'm having trouble making my payments for the fact that I 'm the only working to provide for my family because my wife lost her job. I applied for a loan modification as soon as I started struggling with my payments because of our loss of income. In less than  3 weeks  I was denied because according to  Ocwen Loan Servicing I  was not behind enough in order for them to help me lower my payment so I avoid foreclosure. I really believe that this is absurd and unfair that they tell me this and that is the reason why they ca n't provide me help. What they are saying is that I have fall way more behind on my payments so that they even give me a chance to save my home. This is why I 'm reaching out that to notify they are wrongfully reviewing my situation and not giving me and my family to try to find some type of solution to help me out. They told me about a repayment plan but that was only going to bring my payment higher no help at all since I was already struggling with my payment before. Please help I really need to save my home for the sake of my family. Thank You.

XXXX XXXX XXXX CREDIT BUREAU ; Every month I question the validity of this account. There is no way that this account was indeed verified- it's unverifiable and incomplete. Again, Im not sure who to take this to anymore, but I have disputed this account several times with both the original creditor and the credit reporting agencies accordingly and Ive attached everything to support my dispute. However, I continue to received a pre-template letter sent to me that its been verified and it REMAINS. How is it possible that this was verified if you continue to report incomplete, inconsistent, inaccurate, and unverifiable information on this account and lack a thorough and in-depth investigation. Ive disputed and I have not received anything as such, but it continues to be reported in violation of the consumer laws. Continues to report wrong balance, incorrect date of first delinquency, wrong date of last active, inconsistent payment status, high balance and actual balance is questionable, etc. I believe that section 609 of FCRA also allows me to ask for detail information about the account and how you indeed investigated and your detail process. I'm extremely upset and shocked about the way this charge-off account is reporting on my credit report which continues to report with incomplete, inconsistent and unverifiable information. How can you honestly say that you verified as it being accurate? This was NOT verified! I am requesting this investigation under the authorization of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 623. ( a ) ( 8 ) ability of consumer to dispute information directly with the furnisher. What I am disputing : The account you have reported to the three credit bureaus. My basis for this dispute is that I have no knowledge of this account.

I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX emails were involved in this breach. 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. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report.
