The response that Citibank provided to CFPB complaint # XXXX does not address the issue. They provided a boilerplate response that ignores that fact that overheating, swelling and XXXX XXXX are caused by a manufacturer 's defect that would have been covered by the manufacturer 's warranty if it were still in force. Overheating, swelling and explosion of XXXX  are not " normal wear and tear. '' Since these defects would be covered by the manufacturer 's warranty, they should be covered by the Citi Visa extended warranty.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc (MN)

I purchased a XXXX bag on XXXX  for {$2700.00} from a seller named XXXX, and paid through Paypal with my XXXX XXXX Credit Card. I received a fake pair of XXXX XXXX shoes, not the bag I paid for. I contacted XXXX about this and after their investigation, they found other fraud activities from this seller and removed this person from their platform. I filed a dispute with paypal to recover my funds, and provided them all the documents I have, including email from XXXX confirming that this seller is a scammer and has been removed from their platform, Paypal asked me to return the item to the seller and promised to issue a refund. I returned the item twice and both times, the USPS returned the package to me because the address the scammer provided to Paypal does not exist according to the USPS tracking. I finally escalated this to my card issuer, but Paypal provided them documents siding with the scammer which made my card issuer to accept that Paypal did nothing wrong. XXXX XXXX closed the case and offered no help whatsoever, then referred me back to Paypal. Paypal informed me that they would have refunded my money but since the case went to my card issuer, they are the higher authority so there is nothing Paypal can do now. I also filed a complaint with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as requested by Paypal. Right now, I am scammed out of {$2700.00} because I trusted Paypal. I am trying to recover my money.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: PNC Bank N.A. (IL)

Hello, This issue is in regards to a mortgage being survived by PNC. The details are : 30 year term with a fixed interest rate ; payments are principal and interest only. The mortgage began through XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, that bank was purchased by XXXX XXXX. XXXX then sold the servicing to PNC in XX/XX/XXXX. Upon the purchase, PNC erroneously placed an escrow on the account for the annual home insurance. The fee was {$330.00} annually. So the monthly payment went from XXXX to XXXX. I contacted the bank in XX/XX/XXXX to notify them if the issue. PNC told me the issue was resolved in XX/XX/XXXX. However, in XX/XX/XXXX I received notice that my payment was late, as they were holding my principal and interest payments until they recover the amount including escrow. I called PNC in XX/XX/XXXX and notified them if the issue. PNC said it was resolved. In XX/XX/XXXX I called again as I was notified of late payment again. However this time PNC reported a late payment to the credit bureau. This was in error as they were holding my payment waiting for the escrow amount that : was incorrectly placed and never removed. I called in XX/XX/XXXX and PNC stated the issue will be r viewed internally to verify the loan document state principal and interest only. This was never done and they continue to report me as late. In XX/XX/XXXX I called again. I was given the balance of the escrow and made a payment to clear the balance. I also was told I needed to fax a letter saying the escrow was placed in error and must be removed. I faxed a letter on XX/XX/XXXX. My request was denied as " I had late payments in past. '' My payments were made on time. PNC was holding my payment because they were awaiting the escrow payment. I have tried for a year to resolve this issue to zero success. I hope the CFPB can help mediate this so PNC does not illegally report credit issues and hold payments because they have incorrectly identified a mortgage as escrowed.

Midland is reporting in my credit file however it is inaccurate because it was said to be late, yet all the payments are OK. I do not think that this is mine. I did my research on what to do because it is affecting my scores to badly, I asked for documents, disclosure and where did the account come from but they failed to provide me, so I came online and researched. The plaintiff is asking the same thing that I wanted and at the end of it all the plaintiff won this case. I am talking about the Texas VS Midland Funding Case. I have learned that Midland claims to have a disclosure and an agreement that there is a Consumer Agreement for all who they are collecting from. I guarantee you that there is no such thing that I have agreed upon to.

Dear Legal Department, This credit dispute is being submitted as a new evidence dispute. The accounts that are being disputed, does not belong to me. Below is my sworn statement concerning these credit issues.

It is my sworn statement that I declare under penalty of perjury ( " under the laws of the United States " if executed outside of the United States '' ) that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Further, I certify that I am qualified and authorized to file this dispute. I also understand that knowing and a willful misstatement or omissions of material facts constitutes a federal criminal violation punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001. Additionally, these misstatements are punishable l1S perjury under 18U.S.C. 1621. 

The tradelines listed below are items currently within my credit file, and none of these are related to any transaction that was made by me. It is my official statement that someone and/or several people have opened these accounts and made transactions on these accounts without my knowledge or authorization, my personal information has been used to obtain goods, services, or money : and the person ( s ) responsible for creating these accounts.

I have filed a report with the Federal Trade Commission, which I have enclosed within this dispute package. I have reached out to all of these creditors and have made them aware that these accounts were fraudulently opened, and they have known this for several months, but have yet to remove these accounts from my credit reports. Some of the creditors have been cooperative and have removed the accounts, but others have refused to remove the fraudulent accounts. Therefore, I have come to you, the credit reporting agencies to resolve these issues. The law says that you must block these accounts while being investigated, and I expect that you will do so.

I made an attempt to file a police report, but I was informed by my county that it did not constitute as an emergency and that they would not file the report because I didn't have any information on the person who used my information, nor did I know how my information was obtained by this person.

Likewise, these COLLECTION ACCOUNTS are also not mine. None of these belong to me. This means that I was not the person, which had an account with the original creditor, which has sold these accounts to these collection agencies that are now reporting the debts.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (CA)

Barclays Bank is reporting an erroneous late on my credit file. I have a couple accounts with Barclays and make sure to make all my payments on time. I have perfect credit and have never made a late payment. I called Barclays to make a payment on my accounts as i normally do and went on with life. When i checked my credit later i noticed i had a late remark for the month of XX/XX/21. When i called in to see why or where the late remark came from they advised that i made a payment late. I told them i didnt and to check because i called in to make the payment. When they reviewed they said the representative who helped me applied the payment to the wrong account and refunded the late fee. When i asked about the late reporting on my credit file they said there was nothing they can do. That is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard of. How can they admit the wrong doing and missed applied payment but not remove it from my credit file? This late remark dropped my credit scores drastically. I have been denied financing due to Barclays mistake and it very frustrating to hear that the bank that ruined you credit can not help fix it. I need this late removed ASAP, it shouldn't be there and it still is and is affecting my financing.

I have called numerous times asking Trans Union to freeze my credit report. They have yet to do so even after 4 separate calls over the past month, starting in XX/XX/XXXX up until my most recent request on XX/XX/XXXX. They have an online method for freezing credit reports. Every time I try to access that it does not work. The online page states that this service is available TransUnion : Monday-Saturday, XXXX XXXX.-XXXX XXXX. CST Sunday, XXXX XXXX.-XXXX XXXX. CST I have tried multiple times and multiples points in the day and have tried multiple times during the past month. The online freeze request always comes back as not available at this time. I have a screenshot showing it stating " TEMPORARILY DOWN ''. It is always down. When I call to inquire about this, they just bounce me from person to person. I have no idea who to send a letter to in this regard. I could only find the Fraud Assistance Department mailing address, so I did send a letter there. No answer My score continues to go down and down because companies keep hitting my report. My only recourse is to block this / freeze the report and they do not seem capable of making that happen. I believe it is my right to have my report frozen and I should not have to ask for over a month and still be asking.
