Consumer complaint received 2017-09-28
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (FL)

On my XX/XX/XXXX Cabela 's Club XXXX card, I misread the amount due and paid {$1600.00} instead of {$1600.00}. When I received my XX/XX/XXXX statement, I was charged {$1.00} finance charge for the XXXX cents not paid on the XX/XX/XXXX bill. I called Cabela 's Club XXXX at XXXX to complain and was informed they base their finance charges on the average yearly daily balance and not on the actual amount owed and not paid. I was successful in having the {$1.00} removed, but I ca n't imagine it being legal to charge interest on monies you do not owe. When I use this card I always pay in full immediately so this caught me quite by surprise. I ca n't imagine how many persons are being charged this exorbitant amount of interest and do not realize how their interest is being calculated. In my opinion, this is a huge consumer rip off and steps should be taken to ensure fair and reasonable finance charges are in place by this company.

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

I am currently in mediation with Ocwen on my mortgage. I went to a housing counselor and she helped me submit a request for modification. Ocwen turned me down because they said there were numerous credit inquiries and collections on my credit report. I obtained a copy for myself and the information they said was there is not. The only bad account, other than the mortgage, is a doctor bill. The reason that was not paid by medicare is because the doctor 's office delayed to long to submit the charges. I have one credit card and the payment is listed as never late. I also had a small loan at the bank which was paid off years ago and it states that it was never late. I do n't think they even really considered my application because i received a denial letter one week after they said they had all the information. I am XXXX years old and sometimes i feel like they think I do n't know any better so they can do what ever they want.

I reviewed my consumer report and I noticed that I had 5 late payments on an account that I was never late on. The consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum accuracy. I have never been late on payments for the accounts that I have included screenshots inside this complaint on dates ( XX/XX/2023 XX/XX/2023 XX/XX/2023 XX/XX/2023 XX/XX/2023 ) Please investigate and provide proof with statements showing that these payments were later. If proof can not be provided I demand these payments be updated to PAID AS AGREED on time as they should be due to the fact I was never late! Thanks, PLEASE see screenshots attached

Hello, I am hoping to resolve an outstanding collection pertaining to an equipment charge for which XXXX XXXX billed me in error. XXXX XXXX acknowledged the oversight in the amount of {$140.00} and adjusted it. By that time however it had been turned over for collection to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Ref # XXXX ). Having made no attempt to verify the status of the debt with XXXX, XXXX is insisting that the debt is valid after I made them aware of the oversight. Having obtained no help from XXXX, I filed a debt dispute with XXXX Apparently XXXX directed their inquiry to XXXX rather than XXXX, the original debt holder. Consequently XXXX is saying the debt is valid based on the outdated information supplied by XXXX. In order to resolve this matter, XXXX XXXX the original creditor needs to be contacted as the matter was resolved directly through them, but neither XXXX nor XXXX will apparently do so. 

Particulars : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX turned over a debt in the amount of {$140.00} that had been incorrectly billed to my XXXX account XXXX for equipment that had actually been returned but got lost on their end. 

XX/XX/XXXX XXXX adjusted the balance of account XXXX to XXXX and advised that the collection agency would be contacted. I continued to get calls from XXXX and contacted XXXX once more who again verified that the matter was resolved and told me to ignore the collection agency but if they persisted provide them with reference number XXXX. 

XX/XX/XXXX through today. I contacted XXXX to advise them of the resolution and provided them with the reference number provided by XXXX concerning the resolution. When XXXX failed to investigate and resolve the matter I contacted XXXX and requested their assistance ( File Number XXXX ). 

XXXX 's response to my request to investigate was to contact the current account holder listed as XXXX XXXX XXXX and declare the debt valid. After the first time they did this I contacted XXXX and asked that they contact XXXX the original debt holder who can confirm the debt as satisfied. For the second time they contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX  formerly known as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXthe current debt holder rather than XXXX and have again declared the collection valid. 

XXXX has and continues to show the adjustment of the {$140.00} however neither the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( aka ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX nor XXXX appear to be willing to verify the matter as closed and my credit score is continuing to be adversely impacted. 

I am requesting the assistance of an objective 3rd party to act as a liaison to cross reference the information with XXXX. Only then will it be possible to confirm the debt as closed so that the misinformation now showing on my credit report may be removed. 

Thank you.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

I am requesting to formally dispute several inaccurate addresses listed on my credit report. Upon reviewing the report, I noticed that these addresses do not correspond to any locations where I have resided or conducted financial transactions. I can confirm that I have never lived at any of these addresses nor have I authorized any financial accounts to be associated with them. As such, their inclusion on my credit report is misleading and potentially damaging to my creditworthiness. 

I understand the importance of accurate reporting and its impact on my financial standing. Therefore, I urge you to conduct a thorough investigation into these discrepancies and remove the inaccurate addresses from my credit file as soon as possible.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage — 
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (TX)

Initially I had agreed to a loan amount for XXXX. This included the initial escrow of 8 mo for XXXX and the 3 mo cushion for XXXX, A pre paid of XXXX in prepaid property taxes. My loan officer said I would not have to pay a mortgage in 2 months and that I would get the 6K back from the old lender. I did not want to include in the loan but he said I had to. 

I called XXXX XXXX to find out where my escrow was and they said they had paid the escrow and was still waiting on the final check from Freedom. XXXX XXXX is a wonderful company I wish I could go back to. All my fellow veterans steer clear of Freedom Mortgage. Freedom would not return their calls or mine. This was during XXXX. XXXX XXXX was about to wire them their check back. We both were not getting our calls returned. They finally paid them to satisfy the loan. 

I found out from my previous mortgage company that they had already paid the taxes in the amount of XXXX. My loan amount should of been l XXXX. So after spending the month of XXXX trying to find out where the XXXX was with numerous phone calls I still do not have a resolution. They have now revised the closing disclosure saying that XXXX is being put in an escrow analysis and they will let me know next week what they decide. I didn't even see the first closing disclosure until the day of closing. 

What needs to be done. 

You have collected the escrow of 8 months and the cushion. The closing disclosure should be revised to reflect the correct loan amount. It should be XXXX. The money should not be put in escrow. I am writing this letter to complain because I know this company has taken advantage of me.

Today I was contacted from Ally Financial about a past due lease payment. The last time I made my payment I believed I had enrolled in auto-pay. When I got the call today they said I was n't and was now past due. I immediately made the entire payment, but was notified that the credit hit would stay. They made no attempt to call me previously. I am in the middle of the mortgage process and this will put a tremendous hardship on me and my living situation. Extremely frustrating that a lapse in their communication and my auto-pay not being processed will have such a negative impact as all accounts are paid.
