Issue: Billing disputes — 
Company: U.S. BANCORP (CA)

On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I ordered a specific flower arrangement as advertised on the website of XXXX with the understanding that my order would be processed on an express basis and delivered the same day. This did no occur. I tried to use the tracking number provided and that did not work. I attempted several times to call this vendor and resolve the matter. The call center turned out to be a joke. I suspected fraud. I did communicate to the company to cancel my business and promptly refund my money. This never occurred. I learned five days later that this vendor made a feeble attempt to send dead flowers in a cheap vase that I did not ask for or order. When I contacted my XXXX card issuer ( U.S. Bank/XXXX ) I was given a temporary credit. When I submitted all documentation to the fraud division, I was later told by ( XXXX ) that they do not get involved in customer disputes. In fact, he said he did not talk to the vendor at all. Astonished, I asked how this could be classified as an investigation? XXXX just kept to his script even after stating that I bought something that I did not receive. I then pursued by a phone call to have the matter escalated to someone one else. U.S. Bank personnel have been totally unresponsive. I even sent a faxed statement and request on XX/XX/2015 to their XXXX. No response. This is over a month now. I chose a credit card payment method vs. a debit card for more protection. My credit union would have resolved this by now. Not U.S. Bank. They seem completely uncaring. I do have accurate and complete documentation on this matter which supports this statement. I even provided the terrible reviews from other customers with similar experiences who lost their money by paying for something they did not receive.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: LoanCare, LLC (GA)

LOANCARE, XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, VA is an absolute nightmare to work with. My home loan was sold from XXXX to this company and the experience has been absolutely terrible. I have never had an issue before contacting XXXX either by phone or online and have had zero issues with that company or making my home loan payment. 
I can not say the same for LOANCARE. I have not been able to contact them by phone or any other method in order to establish payment or create an online account with them to pay or check my account. This company is an absolute nightmare and the problem is compounded as I am at their mercy since these loans are bought and sold at whim it seams.

Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score — Problem getting my free annual report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MN)

I have just discovered that I am a victim of identity theft / fraud. I have been trying to request a free copy of my credit report from Experian through annualcreditreport.com. After inputting my info on the first screen, then selecting Experian on the 2nd screen and submitting it, my browser advanced to https : //www.experian.com/ncaconline/acr, but it then sat there for over 45 minutes, with nothing loading on the screen. I exited, then re-started the process from scratch, and the same thing happened. ( I am using the latest version of XXXX, as my browser, which is compatible per the web site. ) The annualcreditreport web site says to contact the credit agency directly regarding any problems/issues -- and I could not find any " troubleshooting '' info available on annualcreditreport either. So, I went to Experian 's own web site, looking for some kind of an on-line chat function, consumer XXXX number, or a consumer troubleshooting section -- but could find nothing. I am concerned that Experian is perhaps throttling requests that come through annualcredit reports.com or something -- as a means for consumers to get frustrated and simply pay for a report instead through their private web site --? I need to get my credit report asap, as my bank account has been raided, my credit cards have been used fraudulantly, and I am aware of credit cards being opened fraudulantly in my name. However, I am not able to get such from Experian!!!

Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation — No notice of investigation status/result
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX)

I have tried multiple times to dispute fraudulent and incorrect information on my report with Experian. Experian claims to never receive the documentation I mail to them, and denies all responsibility for investigating- claiming they need documents. They have started refusing to investigate disputes- which is a violation of my TX state and federal rights as a consumer. I have plenty of documentation to support my identity theft and that these accounts do not belong to me! 

I have called on multiple occasions and spoke with customer service, only to be told they no longer use fax, and to upload the documents online. Yet, Experian has locked me out of the ability to view or dispute information on my report online, and has also locked me out of the online document upload function. 

I am an identity theft victim, and have piles of documents to justify deletion and/or correction on the accounts I have been attempting to dispute. Experian is the only bureau that has repeatedly blocked me or locked me out from being able to dispute. I have not encountered this level of difficulty with ANY OTHER BUREAU! 

Again, I HAVE DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT MY DISPUTES. So much so, that even the original creditors have begun sending me letters explaining in detail that accounts had been opened fraudulently! Experian refuses to accept any of it, and claims to continue " losing '' or " not receiving '' my certified letters. If I ca n't reliably send this in my mail, how am i supposed to dispute this?? Experian has locked me out of every available option after I called explaining my trouble with this to customer service!

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (FL)

I applied for an Ally Bank online savings account on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and transferred, via ACH, {$1000.00}. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I logged on and the screen informed me the account was blocked. I called and was assigned Loss Prevention Specialist XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was told to provide copies of an original social security card, recent mail to my address and a state issued photo id. I supplied a copy of my passport, which expired in XXXX XXXX, plus the other XXXX items requested. I am not going to renew my passport until my hair and eyebrows grow back. I am not planning on making any foreign trips, nor even getting on an airplane for a while. My XXXX make getting my drivers license problematic for the foreseeable future. 
I was informed that the passport was not acceptable since it had expired and I had to provide a " state '' photo id. I asked for an alternative, such as providing a notarized affidavit or something similar. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, late in the evening, XXXX XXXX told me I could not get my opening deposit back either. I specifically asked for the opening deposit to be sent back the way it came. I am sure the transaction shows the routing & accounting numbers of my account at XXXX. She said that was not going to happen. She asked if I wanted to speak with her supervisor. 
XXXX XXXX called on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and left a message for me to call her. I called her back the next day and left a message as XXXX XXXX works an XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX shift. I asked for our communication to be via email or USPS mail going forward so there would be a documentation trail. I also mentioned that I would like for someone to handle this matter for me and asked where I send a power of attorney or how to handle designating a proxy for me. XXXX XXXX left another message for me to call her on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
I mailed a complaint letter to the CEO, XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I have not heard anything as a result, nor do I expect to. I have since taken the opportunity to read the complaints about Ally online and regret not doing my homework beforehand.

Company: Westlake Services, LLC (NC)

Found out Westlake Financial has been listed as fraudulent company, and notorious for bad complaints with consumer affairs. After dealing with this company trying to work a settlement on an account I defaulted on, I see why this companys reputation is so bad. XX/XX/XXXX I called them and tried to work out a settlement offer to get my acct closed. I offered them one amount which was all I had at the time to contribute to the debt, they counter offered me another amount to sif and remove the account from my credit file as long as i made a payment that day via money gram. After making the payment I called back to let them know i was hung up on twice. Then I was told i would receive an email in a couple days confirming that my acct would be sif and removed from my credit file as agreed upon. Two weeks pasted no email no action, another two weeks a month later no email no action. Luckily I was recording the conversation. I called back then I explained to a new person all that happened he told me someone would call me back because I should not of been told they would close out the acct for the amount paid. I told him well they did and that was the agreement, so he said well do you have that in writing I said no I do n't have to. I explained that there were clear fdcpa violations, just in the mini Miranda alone, not to mention the lies I was told and failure to adhere to the terms of the deal we made. But anyway, I told him had it recorded and was recording him, he panicked then said immediately he could no longer speak with me and hung up on me

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (OH)

I previously held a revolving account with XXXX. In XXXX of 2013 the account was settled for a lesser amount, paid off, and then closed. This company is still reporting late payments although the account was paid and closed. It is not possible to be late on an account that does not even exist. I have filed four disputes to date. Every dispute finds that the reporting is inaccurate and the issue is fixed, until the following month. The company then reports that I am late as if the dispute and resolution never occurred. When I call the company directly I get continuously transferred and am forced to leave a message. I have never received a return call or any attempt to fix the situation directly from the company. This is harming my credit and effecting my chance to purchase a home.

In XX/XX/XXXX I was one month past due on my mortgage payment. On XX/XX/XXXX I purchased a cashiers check from XXXX in the amount of two months payments made out to my mortgage company Chase JP Morgan. 
About three weeks later, a bank employee from XXXX XXXX notified me that a cashiers check drawn on JP Morgan Chase bank in the exact same amount of the cashiers check sent in for my payments was sent to XXXX. The cashiers check was made out to XXXX XXXX, not me. 
I immediately contacted Chase bank to inquire why they did n't apply my payments properly. I was told that they had no knowledge of this transaction, but that I was now 90 days in arrears and being placed in foreclosure. If I wanted to avoid foreclosure, I must immediately send in over XXXX in back payments, late charges and attorney fees. 
I waited until XX/XX/XXXX, called again and was told my only option was to modify my existing loan and the payments would be added to the new loan.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (DE)

In XXXX of 2015, I ( my son ) returned a Buick Enclave that i had leased in XXXX, Delaware at XXXX XXXX XXXX. Ally Financial was the banking organization utilized by the Dealership. 
The lease had expired in XXXX 2015. Turnover of the car to the dealership went well. The car was physically inspected by employees of the car dealership and found to be in acceptable condition-no damage. All financial aspects were found to be acceptable and no additional payments were due. 
Three months later the bank, Ally Financial, threatened to repossess the car since the lease payments had not been paid. We explained that the lease had terminated three months earlier and that the car had been with the dealer for the past three months. Lease charges were erroneous. However, now, after the dealer being in possession of the car for three months, it had been damaged- a scratch existed which Ally wanted fixed at my expense. Subsequently, the bank dropped the three month lease charge and now requested one month 's payment and payment for repair of the scratch appeared to be negotiable. The total charge, including repair of the scratch amounts to {$780.00}. 
I contacted Ally Financial to find more information such as why they considered the payment charge to be outstanding and to state that since the car was in the possession of the dealership for three months, after it had been accepted by the dealership as having no damage, the repair was the reponsibility of the dealership. 
The basis for the outstanding payment charge varied with respect to whom I spoke. XXXX claimed that the charge was for XXXX despite the car being returned in XXXX. The cost of the repair however, appeared to be open for discussion on their part-but not mine! 
All remained quiet until this XXXX when correspondence started to appear demanding the {$780.00}, with the standard threats of notification of the XXXX credit agencies, lawyers, etc. I contacted the Delaware State Regulating Authority who regulates Allys financial activity for the state, and they are presently investigating Ally Financial 's charges. Insofar as i am concerned, I can find no basis for their claims. And responses appear to be totally dependent upon the Ally Financial person to whom you speak. 
Finally, ALL Ally personnel refuse to discuss the issue with the XXXX XXXX XXXX for reasons they will not reveal. 
It is now close to a year since the lease expired. Ally has yet to present a factual basis for their charge of payment due, except for a " claim ''. In contrast, both myself and XXXX XXXX XXXX agree that all requiements have been met. This claim may just may be due to faulty record keeping, similar to other claims Ally Financial has made Under the current circumstances they have failed to provide any factual basis for the claim

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: LoanCare, LLC (TX)

LoanCare became the mortgage services company for my existing loan, to be effective XX/XX/2016. LoanCare provided no correspondence prior to the due date. I received a letter from the old mortgage company, and submitted payment to the address on the letter so I would not have a late payment. I confirmed with my bank that the payment went through XX/XX/XXXX, and resubmitted it XX/XX/XXXX. Each payment was for {$3800.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a statement stating no payments had been received since XX/XX/XXXX. I called customer service after checking with my bank, and advised them I had proof of payment. I was told that I need an electronic statement from my bank, but XXXX XXXX told me that the proof of payment I provided was all that could be submitted. It was determined that the account number which I had on my payment was the incorrect account number and my payments were credited to someone else 's account, but LoanCare refused to make the correction at that time. The representative told me " How can we be sure you did not mean to pay someone else 's loan instead? ". To be clear, my account showing was past due for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, and they had my payments for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, which came in with my name on them, and my home address matching, and this was their response. Additionally, I informed them that I was upset to never have received a phone call, which they argued with me stating they did, treating me as if I am a liar. I have all of the call logs through XXXX and they never called once. I was told I would receive a phone call to confirm that the issue was resolved, but they never called me back. I was assured by Customer Service Rep XXXX # XXXX that this would not be reported to the Credit Bureaus, but I learned on Sunday, after having my credit limit dropped by XXXX, that in XX/XX/XXXX, they have reported my account as 60 days past due, and that has resulted in my score dropping from XXXX to XXXX. This has an immediate and very serious impact on me and my husband and it is through the carelessness of LoanCare. 
Furthermore, when they made the adjustments to my account, I do not believe they appropriately adjusted the interest and they are over charging me for 60 days on {$330000.00}, even though they were in receipt of those funds on time. 
Additionally, I have provided my contact information multiple times and it still does not appear on my customer profile. This is negligent and increases the likelihood that this type of problem exists for their customers.
