Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (HI)

I have a card issued by Macy 's department store. I do n't often use the card but when I do, I pay off the balance in full. I had not used the card since XXXX, but I received a bill for XXXX demanding payment of a " fee '' of {$2.00}. I called customer service, and the representative was unable to explain what this was about, then the call was abruptly terminated. I then used Macy 's online communications form ( which, by the bye, will not accept any message that includes any form of punctuation, including periods ). I said I would not pay this fee, and demanded that they close my account. I received an email acknowledgement of my complaint, but nothing since. A {$2.00} fee for not using their card is beyond outrageous. And they will charge me a {$37.00} late fee if I do n't pay up.

Company: U.S. BANCORP (CO)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I requested an appraisal to have my PMI removed. U.S. Bank declined to offer me this option. Instead, I was told I could pay for a Broker 's price opinion but had to appraise at a higher value, or I can pay close to $ XXXX to have the PMI removed. 

In XX/XX/XXXX, U.S. Bank refunded my {$600.00} appraisal fee because I had yet to meet the two-year mark to qualify. At that time, I was told my property value needs to rise to 20 percent equity to qualify. 

My original loan was {$260000.00}. 
My current balance is {$250000.00}. 

Based on the above, I qualify for PMI removal if my property appraises at {$320000.00}.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company (CA)

Soon after the purchase of our home, XXXX XXXX sold our loan to Freedom Mortgage. We did not have an escrow account. Prior to the change over XXXX mistakenly created an escrow account and paid {$950.00}, which was corrected and credited back. However, when the loan account was transferred to Freedom this documentation was not with the file and they received an account with an escrow shortage of {$950.00}. Which they tried to collect from us. We informed them there was no escrow account and never was. We had XXXX on a XXXX way call with Freedom and XXXX stating that this was the case and that everything was current that XXXX never sent any bill. XXXX submitted the documentation for this to Freedom directly to XXXX XXXX ( this freedom agent asked for it to be directly sent to her ) on which we were cc 'd on the email. Freedom continued to deny receiving the document which we were fully able to view, open, save and see from the email. We again submitted this directly to now XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ext XXXX ) as well as Freedom 's customer care multiple times, with no response. We did this multiple times over the next few months. With no follow through from Freedom at all, never once have they called when they said they would. We finally had to fax the document in order to have Freedom confirm the documents receipt to XXXX. Freedom still claims they can not alter or correct the account or close the escrow account even with this documentation. They then put a hold on our last months payment, the funds have been taken from my bank account fro the scheduled payment but not applied to our loan. They are imposing late fees and have also filed to make our account delinquent with 30 day late payment. All the while we are fully paid and submitted on time properly. The funds have been taken from my XXXX XXXX account for the mortgage payment on time but payment has been not applied to the loan. We are in the process of trying to buy a larger home for our growing family but can not with a 30 day late report on credit file now. This process has been infuriating and completely the fault of the mortgage companies and nothing whatsoever to do with anything that I have done. This has been going on for months with hundreds of hours on the phone to Freedom and XXXX. Freedom has gave us the run around, lied to us, and provided no assistance. We also reached out to XXXX to have them set up an appointment to talk to Freedom as well. Our new broker suggested we contact BCFP and that this is exactly what you guys are here for.

Company: ORG GC GP BUYER, LLC (FL)

I entered into a rehabilitation program on my defaulted account ( s ) and setup automatic payments each month to get my loans out of default. I noticed there was no automatic withdrawal on my bank account the next month ( month2 ) so I called the company who I have the arrangement with and gave them my payment information again. XXXX XXXX and XXXX I verify that the payment is withdrawn from my bank account. On Month XXXX I call the company I have the rehab agreement with to change my billing information, I am opening an account with a new financial institution and need to update my billing information. To my dismay, they inform me that I have n't been making payments and need to re-commit to the rehabilitation program. I check online and clearly see that the correct amount is being withdrawn monthly at the correct dates using the automated process setup over the phone. The company informed me that even if my proof of payments was satisfactory for them that I still missed payments and would have to start the program again. This is unacceptable to me. 

My original financial institution mailed me an official statement with the XXXX " missing '' payment information on it. I 've mailed a copy to the u.s. department of education and I 've emailed a copy to the company I 'm dealing with. 

I no longer trust this company. While in communication with them I 've had to explain the entirety of my situation to many new representatives and supervisors because they do n't understand details of my case. In order to stop that from happening a representative informed me that my case would no longer be moved but I was moved anyways. No matter how small, errors like that are unacceptable. 

I have started a new rehab program with the same company and have been making my payments on time. I believe my rights have been violated but I do n't know what to do next.

In XXXX 2015, I received email from Sears/Citibank asking for verification of a suspected fraudulent {$650.00} purchase made in another state. I called and confirmed that this was not my purchase. I have not been contacted since, so I logged into their website to get a contact number to check on the status of the fraud investigation. Much to my surprise, I found that my account had been closed. When I called customer service, I was told that my account had been closed 2 days after my phone call in XXXX. However, I was not notified that the account was closed nor did I receive a replacement card. They were unable to provide an explanation for the lack of notification on closing the account or the lack of a replacement card. The rep also told me that the amount of the purchase was {$65.00}, which was considerably less than the amount listed in their email from XXXX. When I asked if a replacement card would be issued, I was asked to provide my entire checking account number to verify my information. They were also unable to provide a current status on the fraud investigation.

I disputed the account because I noticed it was on my credit report and I did not authorize this account. To dispute this account, I mailed a dispute letter, and 3 forms of personal identification ( copies of my driver 's license, my social security card, and one of my recent bank statements from the past 3 months ) along with a copy of the page of my credit report ( s ) on which the account was listed, in an envelope sent to the creditor of the account and I also put copies of the same documents in envelopes sent to all three credit bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX  ) via USPS certified mail with return receipt, this was 60 days ago. The creditor and the credit bureaus have not mailed me a notarized contract with my signature on it within their 30-day allotted timeframe allowed by the FCRA ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ) to validate the account, and thus the account must be immediately deemed invalid and not my liability, and it is hereby illegal for the credit bureaus and creditors to report this account on my credit report because the account was not validated within the required 30-day timeframe, and so the solution to my complaint is for the credit bureaus and for the creditor to immediately delete this account from my credit report. If the creditors and credit bureaus do not do this, I have the power and the evidence to sue them and win {$10000.00} due to the illegal credit reporting acts that they have committed which continue to harm my credit worthiness and access to financial wealth-building opportunities such as loans for real estate purchases. 

The account was also deleted from my XXXX  report as well so in order to correct the inconsistencies between the XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX  credit reports, the account needs to be deleted from the XXXX  and XXXX  credit report. 

The information for this account listed on my credit report is : CREDITOR : BMW FINANCIAL SERVICES, BMW FIN SVC, ACCOUNT XXXX, OPENED XX/XX/2018, BALANCE OF {$57000.00}
