Consumer complaint received 2021-01-09
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (PA)

Our mortgage application process for Citizens Bank took 5 1/2 months when we were told it would take 90-120 days. We had to resubmit the same documents multiple times make multiple phone calls and send many e-mails. I would provide documents requested, and then they would ask for something else. It felt like they were deliberately delaying the process. The only reason they provided was backlog due to COVID. However, when I called their loan application line in XXXX to check on what they were offering, I was told it would take 60-100 days, and they did not tell me I could not do a cash-out refinance at that time even though ( according to loan officer supervisor ) the restrictions were still in effect. Then we were denied XX/XX/XXXX. The denial states " we do not grant credit under terms requested ''. When loan officer supervisor finally returned our call XX/XX/XXXX, he told us that due to COVID related guidelines implemented in 'the summer ' ( he would not provide date when questioned, since we applied XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX XXXX does not allow a cash-out refinance of a vacation property that doesn't already have a current mortgage. He said the restrictions were supposed to be lifted in XXXX and weren't, and then they thought they would be lifted in XXXX and they weren't. None of this was communicated to us. We could have pursued other options. We currently own our vacation home outright ( {$230000.00} appraisal ) and and applied for {$150000.00} cash-out mortgage to pay off mortgage ( from different bank ) on primary residence ( value about {$300000.00} ). We have no other outstanding debt, we both have credit scores of XXXX, a combined six figure income, and {$500000.00} in additional assets. I feel the bank misled us, stringing us along hoping to be able to offer us a mortgage if/when the restrictions were lifted. And now we are out 6 months of extra interest payments ( approximately {$1300.00} ) because we will need to start the process again with a different bank.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (FL)

I looked at my report and noticed some things that were reporting incorrectly. I sent multiple letters to XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX asking them to validate the Bankruptcy Account and investigate the completeness and accuracy of the accounts. However, I waited the required amount of time, and everything was updated as verified. I then sent letters to the bureaus asking for their method of verification and a description of the investigation based on 15 USC 1681 ( 7 ). The response I received was it was verified through XXXX XXXX. After this, I requested a copy of my consumer report from XXXX XXXX and verified if this account was actually on the report and it wasn't. I also called XXXX XXXX to confirm this information and I was told that there was no Bankruptcy showing on my consumer report and that they did not receive any request from the credit bureau requesting for verification of this account. I am beyond upset and frustrated, that a company that is supposed to report complete and accurate information on my customer report, can flat-out tell me false information and then verify the validity of this account. I also sent a letter to the Clerk of Courts for XXXX XXXX XXXX county appearing on customer report that is reporting ), who states that they do not furnish debt collectors or credit bureaus any information. This is in direct violation of 15USC 1681 ( 7 ). They have also violated 15 USC1681 ( 5 ) and USC 168e ( b ), just to name a few! 

As you can see, this has been an ongoing battle for many years trying to get this corrected. At this point, after all I have done to get this matter rectified, it makes no sense!
