Consumer complaint received 2019-04-03
Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: U.S. BANCORP (CA)

We opened a home equity line of credit with US Bank on or about XX/XX/XXXX At the time we applied, there were several important stipulations that the loan agent did not disclose at the time we applied : 1 ) There was a {$90.00} annual fee for the account that began 1 year into the loan 2 ) If we attempted to close the account prior to a 3-year period, regardless of the balance, we would pay a penalty of 1 % of the total line of credit, not 1 % of the outstanding balance, if any, 3 ) We assumed the the total line of credit was an arbitrary amount up to us to decide based on the equity in our home, but at no time was the 1 % penalty tied to the credit line ceiling. 

Our main concern is # 2. When we applied we took the largest line of credit {$55000.00} for which we qualified. We were never told that we would pay 1 % of that amount as a penalty for closing the account " early ''. 

We paid off our home equity balance of {$11000.00} this month. So even though we have a zero balance we can not close the account unless we pay 1 % of {$55000.00}, an amount which we never borrowed but theoretically was available to us if we chose to borrow. 

I found this all out when I called to close the account. I was told that unless I wanted to pay that {$550.00} I could wait until XX/XX/XXXX at which point I could pay the {$90.00} annual fee and then the following day ( being the end of the three-year period ) I could close the account with no further obligation ( either with the annual {$90.00} fee or the penalty ). 

So I have no alternative but to keep the account open, pay {$90.00} for an account I no longer want nor need. I think this is predatory.

Ms. XXXX, Your statement isn't quite true or accurate. IF my loan was, according to you " intended to be boarded '' by the XXXX XXXX, IL office all along, why did you in route documents and payments to XXXX, XXXX, CA?? You do realize NONE of the payments I make go to XXXX XXXX, IL, but to XXXX TX!!?? I don't know about you, or your organization, but in my business, I don't route payments to XXXX, or XXXX, when the payment and all documentation is in XXXX! I want / have the payments sent directly, straight to XXXX ... that's called efficiency! 
Your response fails to mention or acknowledge the MITIGATION documents sent to me by YOU ... XXXX XXXX, IL by XXXX XXXX!! ( Where the loan and documents are " boarded ''!! ) Those documents were dated XX/XX/XXXX.! 
Please explain to me ( AND to Mr. XXXX ) WHY I am receiving from you, loan and personal information in an UNSEALED envelope, ( included in your communication to me ) Mr. XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX, GA XXXX Loan # XXXX!! ( I only included the last 4 numbers of the loan ) ... I may be mistaken, ( but I don't think I am ) ... it is against the law to disclose someone else 's personal and loan information ( unless they give you permission )!! 
I just wonder, who's received my personal information! Once again, because of your lack of professionalism I am having to refinance at great cost to me, another loan from your organization! Doing business with you is extremely costly, Dovenmuehle/XXXX XXXX XXXX! This now makes 2 loans, 4 sets of documents, inspections, filings of documentation, and titles documentation that you should reimburse me for!

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (OR)

Have a mortgage through SunTrust. This mortgage is paid by a direct draw from my bank account. 

XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX XXXX- I changed the bank account for draw. Was drawing from NC XXXX XXXX 's XXXX XXXX. Now using XXXX. This change took 3 phone calls totaling over 8 hours. 

XXXX XXXX- SunTrust draws mortgage payments from both accounts. I am confused on timing of old and new draws, so I think this may be appropriate. XXXX draw XXXX for {$1400.00}, XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for {$1500.00}. 

XXXX XXXX- Email from SunTrust that NC XXXX account is to be charged {$1500.00} in XXXX. This is the old account. Call SunTrust today XXXX to clarify and stop withdrawal. They deny responsibility. Say there is no way old account is being taken from. Report they have no ability to review their emails to customers. They are unable to account for the withdrawal on XXXX and deny that it occurred. They demand that I provide " proof '' that they took my money, but are unable to identify what form of proof will be acceptable. 

I have bank statements showing both withdrawals by SunTrust. I do not believe the email advising of the pending withdrawal is spam or phishing. It is identical to standard SunTrust emails sent in the past advising me of draws pending on my account. 

I believe this is a large corporate bank committing fraud.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action — Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (FL)

I have multiple credit card accounts with Community Bank ( Two XXXX XXXX accounts, XXXX XXXX and XXXX ). I have been " locked out '' of my XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX accounts for the past almost 3 years. I would call XXXX XXXX customer service because I could not log in and they would " unlock '' my account and when I logged out after making a payment I was unable to login again without contacting Commenity Bank again to " unlock '' my account. I have spoken with a representative and manager every month for the past 3 years in order to make a payment on my account and expressed these concerns as well with no recourse. Today, Wednesday, XX/XX/2019, a collections representative contacted me and called me by my first name, then proceeded to divulge my personal balance and information regarding my account. She then threatened to pursue further options in a threatening tone if I did not pay my bill today ( which is 2 days late ). This is a direct violation of privacy laws and collection practices laws. I spoke with a manager named XXXX XXXX who confirmed on a recorded line that the representative violated collection laws and removed one late fee of {$35.00}. I have been charged a late fee every month for the past 3 years, which they refuse to remove. I have also requested XXXX XXXX to confirm the purchase I made on the account as well as a credit and they refused to do that as well. I was informed by a customer service manager named XXXX that I need to submit that request through my online profile, which I was able to login again because I was on the phone with a representative. Commenity Bank also did this with two XXXX XXXX   accounts by locking me out of my online profile. A Commenity Bank customer service manager also did not process proper credits issued on a recorded line from a customer service manager at XXXX XXXX. Then Commenity Bank charged off both accounts without my knowledge or notification and ruining mine and my husband 's credit for no reason and as a retaliation tactic for complaining about damaged furniture. Not to mention, all furniture purchased on the XXXX XXXX accounts were delivered damaged with 8 or more deliveries.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (TX)

For the past several months, Comenity has stated they were in the process of upgrading their system. Initially, I couldn't even access recent transactions and could only make payments without reviewing any charges. They finally fixed that issue, and now I can not apply my rewards as a statement credit or access them any other way. WHEN you can reach customer service, they state I can see more than they can, that they can't even see my rewards balance. Each time I try to " request a statement credit '' with my rewards, I receive an error saying the rewards can not exceed the statement balance. It doesn't, and I get the error regardless of the amount I try to apply. Comenity keeps saying they are " working '' on it, and it is an upgrade to the system. System upgrades should NOT take over 4 months to complete. In the meantime, I can't access or use the rewards Comenity / Bread Financial advertised to get me to sign up for the credit card. I pay my balance in full each month and expect them to honor their advertising. Each time I leave them a bad review somewhere, I get a generic email response about how important my opinion is and how they are working to resolve the issues, but NOTHING ever gets resolved! Rewards aren't any good if you can not use them and I feel this was false / misleading advertising to get people to sign up for their card.

This is XXXX XXXX submitting yet another CFPB complaint to request to the Credit Bureaus to properly invetigate and correct the dispute account from my Credit Report. The Credit Reporting Agencies continued to report this account as late and claimed that the account is verified but I did not receive any proof of verification or any document for them to claim that the account is investigated and verified. If the Credit Bureaus ' investigation is really conducted at all, they should have sent me any document as proof of verification! Once again, I AM NOT LATE IN PAYING WITH THIS ACCOUNT! I do not believe I am late on the dates this account reports. Also, I have been keeping my own record of payment and the data this account reports do not match with what I have. The 3 credit bureaus must validate these accounts in line with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). It is not authorized to fail to validate these reporting accounts as unverified information without providing any proof within the period allowed by law. I am urging the Credit Bureaus to please CONDUCT ANOTHER INVESTIGATION AND UPDATE THE PAYMENT STATUS OF THIS ACCOUNT!

I have contacted the XXXX, XXXX, Experian, and Borrower Defense Department. 
Nothing has been done or verified. Per the terms of Borrower defense discharge if your college violated state laws and have used illegal or deceptive tactics to convince students to take out loans and attend. You wont have to pay back your student loans. The FTCs complaint charged that XXXX misled consumers in violation of the FTC Act by claiming that 90 percent of graduates actively seeking employment landed jobs in their field within six months of graduation. Advertisements making these claims appeared on television and radio, as well as online and in print and other media. 

The complaint further alleges that XXXX misled students by claiming that graduates with bachelors degrees, on average, had 15 percent higher incomes one year after graduation than the graduates with bachelors degrees from all other colleges or universities. 

The proposed federal court order requires XXXX to notify the students who will receive debt relief, and to inform the credit bureaus and collection agencies of the debt forgiveness. All loan and debt forgiveness will occur automatically. XXXX will also release transcripts and diplomas previously withheld from students because of outstanding debt and will cooperate with future requests for diplomas and transcripts and related enrollment or graduation information. 

The settlement also includes provisions designed to prevent XXXX from misleading consumers in the future. Among other things, it prohibits XXXX from misrepresenting the likelihood that graduates will get a job as a result of their degree. It specifically prohibits XXXX from including jobs students obtained more than six months before graduating whenever XXXX advertises its graduates success in finding jobs near graduation. The settlement also prohibits XXXX from misrepresenting the compensation or compensation ranges that students or graduates have received or can be expected to receive. XXXX XXXX Agrees to {$100.00} XXXX Settlement with FTC. 

IT IS THE JOB OF CREDIT REPORTING AGENCY According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account.
