Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (CA)

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to help resolve my issue. My most recent issue with my Citi accounts started when I was attempting to pay the merchant XXXX. The merchant payment was being held by Citi, after repeated calls and many hours spent Citi cleared my card for use. However, by now the merchants security measures had activated and I could no longer make the payment.

I then proceeded to log in to my online portal and activate virtual account numbers for my advantage gold. There was a technical issue that prevented me from completing the process without additional assistance. One more call to Citi technical support and another hour ; the kind representative helped me set up virtual account numbers on my gold card. After troubleshooting the outdated flash interface on the virtual account numbers page we opt for using the downloadable executable to my computer. Everything seems to be working well and we conclude the call.

Some hours later I launch the local desktop program in my computer, log in and generate a virtual number. Please keep in mind that throughout this ordeal I've been exclusively dealing and asking for help with my gold advantage card. Once the virtual number is generated I fill the details on the merchant site and execute the charge.

It went through! Success I think.

Fast forward to several more hours later, it occurs to me that I've only had issues with Citi in my short membership as a new customer ; I should probably check my account to make sure the charge posted ...

It did post but to the wrong credit card, [ sigh ] ... The charge was supposed to go to the gold card and not to my Platinum. I frantically launch the program in my computer again log in and check for an option to select a different credit card, but there is none. I think, " I specifically requested virtual account numbers on my gold card, there must be a mistake! '' Once more, I make a call to technical support and the representative tells me that there is nothing they can do. She mentions the outdated online flash portal has a selector for the credit card, something that is absent from the locally run computer program.

I feel like I'm just running around in circles now. I can't use the products I was offered and when I can use them properly they don't work adequately. This truly goes beyond what any bank could reasonably expect their customers to do to get something done. It makes me feel like it's intentionally difficult to cause confusion for customers.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TN)

This is in reference to my joint account with my husband with XXXX XXXX. They are always months late reporting to the credit bureaus. Normally it takes them 3 or 4 months to report. I noticed the end of XX/XX/XXXX that they had not reported any information since XX/XX/XXXXon my credit report. We were looking into purchasing a home and needed it to accurately report. I filed a dispute wanting them to update the account. The account was updated but updated incorrectly with a 60 day late for the month of XX/XX/XXXX. I was not late in XX/XX/XXXXand have the payment information to prove it. I disputed it again on all credit bureaus as not being late. I also called XXXX XXXX  who stated that my payments were on time and that I was in deferment in XX/XX/XXXXand XX/XX/XXXX and those months I only made partial payments and then I was completely on time with payments. She did say that another department would have to correct the late payments and she transferred me to them and then from there I was transferred 3 more times and no one know who I needed to be in contact with. My reports from all 3 credit bureaus show inaccurate information. Then after all of this for the month of XX/XX/XXXXI finally heard something on an update on my account and it was from XXXX  and it showed charged off account updated to be charged off XX/XX/XXXX. I don't have a charged off account. Upon investigating all my credit reports XXXX now has a charge off for Charge off XX/XX/XXXX and then account ok until XX/XX/XXXXwhich showed charge off again and then ok again until charge offXX/XX/XXXX The account has never been charged off. XX/XX/XXXXall 3 credit bureaus were reporting ok and then XXXX and Equifax showed 60 days late. It cant go from ok to 60 days late. Equifax and XXXX show worst delinquency as 90 days which is not reported at this time and XXXX  shows charge off. The balance on my account per the company website shows that I owe XXXX and according to Equifax and XXXX it shows {$7700.00} and XXXX nothing because it is charged off. Ever since I had this account there has been late information reporting, system glitches and problems that I am unable to get fixed. I am hoping that we can just reach some kind of mutual agreement to restore my credit for XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX since that is when the problems with all the inaccurate reporting and misinformation is from. What is later that than that is of no real concern to me. I am just looking for some kind of repair here to restore hope with this company. I have attempted every thing that I know and I just keep making the matters worse instead of better. I am not late and have not been late and maybe if I hadn't of just wanted the reports to update and left it along I would be in better shape now. The sad part is this is not only damaging one person 's credit but two people with the information.

I have been paying on my vehicle for almost 3 years. The company has only reported the first XXXX5 payments which are all current. I have notified them several times of this. I was called this month and last month about my payment with threats of negative reporting to the bureaus only to find out that the trade line was last reported XXXX 2016 as Current with a XXXX balance. I have continued to pay on this trade line in hopes that it was helping my score but it has not been reported and thus is preventing me from getting a mortgage or a better vehicle. Please help. I called the finance company today and they advised that they have been aware of the issue since 2016 and it has not yet been resolved. I have dealt with a lot of shady dealings with the now closed down dealership and the finance company. Please help.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (TX)

I received a Walmart Credit card in my name in the mail. I called the fraud dept and was told that since I was added as an authorized user to an account, my ex husband added me without my permission, I would be responsible for any unpaid balance and it would be reported on my credit. I was also told that I could not remove myself from the account even though I didn't sign up as an authorized user. He was my ex fiance and knows all that information so how can I be held responsible because he added me as an authorized user and doesn't want to pay his bill? 
The Fraud department states the all you need to add someone as an authorized user is their SS number.

Company: Community Loan Servicing, LLC (formerly known as Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC) (CA)

Bayview XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I fully expect Bayview to issue their standard Sorry but you are lying response. That is the response we receive on every CFPB complaint we file against Bayview. Well, I have read many other CFPB complaints against Bayview and they all have a common theme FRAUD AND ABUSE. I am sure those complainants also receive the Sorry but you are lying response. That seems to be their standard form letter in response to CFPB Complaints. How could it be possible that all of these unrelated people from all over the country would be lying?? The fraud committed by BAYVIEW does not just happen once in a while. It happens on a very large percentage of short sales across the country. We have witnessed this on a daily basis for the last 10 years. When is the CFPB going to step in and do something about the fraud going on at BAYVIEW? When is the CFPB going to hold BAYVIEW accountable? IF I DID WHAT THEY ARE DOING I WOULD BE IN JAIL FOR A LONG LONG TIME! 


Short Sale was started XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX we were countered to XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and XXXX/XXXX/XXXX we submitted a Contractors Bid, photos, and market comps in response to the counter offer. 


On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX the appraiser revised his appraisal to $ XXXX. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX we submitted a revised offer of $ XXXX On XXXX we were told by XXXX XXXX the file was denied based on " fair market value '' of XXXX, and the minimum net needed to be 83 % of this fair market value. ( Which our XXXX offer does meet this minimum net. ) XXXX XXXX LIED about the value of this property ON A RECORDED LINE. 


WHAT HAPPENED to the revised appraisal? 

WHY are we being denied even though our offer does meet their minimum net? ( our offer is actually much higher than their minimum net. ) This is the 2nd Time XXXX XXXX has XXXX up on this file regarding values. Her mistakes are causing significant delays. ( which is harming their investor, our community, and the estate that has taken over this property.. values in XXXX XXXX have been dropping for the last three months. ). It is obvious she is overworked - and that means BAYVIEW does not have appropriate number of staffing to be able to service their files according the servicing guidelines set forth by the CFPB. 



I want Bayview held accountable for the lack of staffing needed to do their job-for which they get paid of servicing their files. Bayview has no interest in following the laws and guidelines set forth by the CFPB. They dont care how their files are handled they only want to put forth the least amount of effort into fulfilling their obligations.

I have made four attempts with Transunion mailing certified letters in which they have received to dispute inaccurate information regarding Dept of EdXXXX school loans + comments of late payments. First letter was delivered on XX/XX/XXXX, 2nd letter delivered on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX letter mailed out on XX/XX/XXXX and last letter delivered on XX/XX/XXXX. Each letter states I have legal rights to receive proper evidence in whom was spoken too, names of each representatives, my legal signature, etc to prove these claims are valid. I have only received automatic responses with no changes in removing these late payments off my credit report. My credit reports state I have 100 % on time payments but with SIX derogatory remarks in which late payment were made. I am fighting to remove these accounts/statements off my report due to not receiving any legal evidence on these claims. I delivered the same letters to XXXX with complete resolution. XXXX  did delete the six accounts due to not providing any evidence. Transunion has been uncompliant.
