Our house was affected by the flood in XXXX, la on XX/XX/2016. We have flood insurance, filed a claim with our flood insurance provider, indorsed the check that was issued, and sent it over night to our mortgage company.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report — Account status
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (HI)

There is a Collection Account on my credit report that is over 7 years old ; XXXX XXXX XXXX for $ XXXX old XXXX bill. It appears the Collection Agency has illegally re-aged it. The date of last payment on this account was 16 years ago. I have attempted to dispute this with Experian ( I sent them a dispute form ) and they sent me a letter stating they wanted my Social Security number ( which I already provided ), date of birth, mailing address, etc. This is very critical information that I do not want to send in the mail and am confused why they would request this information when my dispute form clearly provides enough information to verify my identity. I feel they are using tactics to dissuade me from clearing up my credit report. By the way-the other XXXX credit reporting agencies do have this account listed.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (OH)

My mortgage company is returning my payments and did not credit a payment made in XXXX 2016, I had tried to refinance from a HAMP loan to a HARP loan and found a credit card judgement set against me and a lien placed on my home. The credit card debt is n't even mine. I am now in default on my mortgage because they are returning my payments and are accessing late fees, they want all payments up to date plus late fees. First, I thought it was illegal to place a credit card lien on a HAMP loan, is that true?

They refused to allow XXXX to port my new number and held up the process. They exhibited extremely poor service and failed to follow through with promises on a regular basis. Now these scam artists are calling all hours of the day and while my elementary school aged son is asleep in bed for school.

Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (IL)

This complaint relates to Paypal account " XXXX ''. The name on the account should be XXXX XXXX but is incorrectly listed as XXXX XXXX. 

I initiated a transfer of {$1400.00} from Paypal to my checking account. It completed XX/XX/2021 - my checking balance went up and my Paypal balance went down. See attached bank statement. 

On XX/XX/2021, Paypal took {$1400.00} out of my checking account and did NOT put the {$1400.00} in my Paypal account. They simply took the money. There was no valid reason for Paypal to move the money. I did not instruct them to take {$1400.00} from my checking account. I did not authorize them to take {$1400.00} from my checking account. Yet they did. They stole my {$1400.00}. It never reappeared in my checking account nor my Paypal account. 

Paypal is a NIGHTMARE to deal with. There is no phone number to call and they are unresponsive to messages sent to them through their system. I know from a complaint I filed with the Illinois Attorney General that they claim that they never actually received {$1400.00} from the bank on XX/XX/2021 ( or any subsequent date ). They claim that they asked the bank for {$1400.00} but the bank did not comply. 

Paypal 's claim that the bank did not comply is contrary to the information shown in my checking account statement. 

When Paypal claimed that the bank had not transmitted the {$1400.00} to Paypal, I complained to the bank. I have attached the bank 's response. They state that a transfer to Paypal did complete on XX/XX/2021 and they provide an ACH trace # of XXXX. 

Paypal is incompetent and should be shut down or CLOSELY regulated. They play fast and loose with facts and the rules. I have spent over four hours attempting to correct these idiots ' blunders. I am tired of it. 

Also, I have repeatedly attempted to correct the name on my paypal account. The account name on my non-business account is supposed to be XXXX XXXX. But due to a mixup with shipping address, it is XXXX XXXX. I have repeatedly ( at least 5 times ) requested name change and provided the following documents : Social Security Card, Driver 's License, Utility Bill. Yet the XXXX at Paypal have failed to correct the account name.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (MA)

We applied for a construction to permanent loan in XXXX, and after months of providing the bank documents and updating documents we previously provided we finally closed on XX/XX/2021. We were frustrated with how long the process took but once the loan was closed we thought it would all be ok. Now over a month has passed and we have no documentation on our loan. We have no note, no mortgage, and nothing that shows we have a mortgage with Citizens Bank, N.A. I was trying to be patient but we are in the process of building a home and the contractor asked us on XX/XX/XXXX that we draw on our construction line that we set up. We have paid the closing fees and are accuring interest, However, when we contacted Citizens, they had no record of our loan in their sytem. We called multiple departments and the only department that could help us, the construction department, did not pick up their phone, We left multiple voicemails and sent emails and finally heard back after days of trying. The bank informed us that after over a month our loan has still not been boarded and is not available. Again, it has been over a month, and the bank is unable to give us access to our construction line. At this point it is delaying the construction of our house, because the contractor needs the funds, and is costing us time and money.

I received the pre-approval right away and when I tried to use the card that same day it wouldn't go through. I had the QVC rep try various times and the account number would not work so they reported as lost and issued me a new one that same day and i made a purchase but never received the credit. I am seeing them continuously offering promotional statement credits of various amounts even now and have seen complaints online from others who have never received the credit either and would like to see this fixed.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA (MN)

InXX/XX/XXXX my loans were transferred to Fed Loan Servicing ( PHEAA ),  as I am working towards public service loan forgiveness. It took nearly a year for them to process and verify my payments, which only was completed after I filed a complaint with the CFPB. I received a letter in XX/XX/XXXX with the list of payments made. There were six payments that I disputed. For five different payments ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ) I was within a qualified employment window and had bank statements showing a withdrawl, yet they weren't counted. For another payment, it was pulled from my bank account XX/XX/XXXX, posted to my bank account XX/XX/XXXX, which was a Saturday. I had my last day at one qualified employer on XX/XX/XXXX and started a new qualified employment XX/XX/XXXX. Fed Loan claimed I was 'unemployed ' during that payment, even though it was pulled from my account on XX/XX/XXXX, while I was in a qualifying employment. 

I submitted a letter disputing these six payments that were not counted towards my loan forgiveness despite being in qualified employment and proving the plans were made. This letter, along with supporting documentation, was sent via certified mail XX/XX/XXXX. I verified a few weeks later that it was received and was informed by customer service at Fed Loan Servicing that it would take up to a year or beyond to be reviewed. 

I sent a second letter via certified mail XX/XX/XXXX requesting an update on the dispute letter and readjustment to my number of payments made. I was informed this was not available to be reviewed and there was no supervisor or any other staff member I could talk to. 

Additionally, during this time I started school. I was put into a school based deferment in XX/XX/XXXX. I called immediately and completed paperwork XX/XX/XXXX to waive deferment. I was told at that time that if I wanted to continue to count payments towards PSLF that I should keep making payments as scheduled and they would be retroactively applied. I made payments XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX for the full amount of what was due. When I spoke with Fed Loan in XX/XX/XXXX I was informed they had not gone back and applied those two payments that I made on deferral to my qualifying payments. 

Now, instead of being eligible for loan forgiveness in XX/XX/XXXX, they are stating I will not be eligible until XX/XX/XXXX. I would like the payments I made while in qualifying employment to be applied appropriately. 

I am attaching the original dispute letter from XX/XX/XXXX, along with the payment documentation. I'm also enclosing the other complaint letter from XX/XX/XXXX.
