Consumer complaint received 02/22/2016 about Mortgage (Home equity loan or line of credit) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (AZ).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: In XXXX I purchased a home in XXXX, GA, as an investment. I initiated renovations on the home and as I improved the property in hopes of renting the home, it was repeatedly vandalized and expensive items were taken from the property. These crimes caused me to not be able to complete the renovations and subsequently pay the mortgage. The lender, Bank of America, in XXXX notified me of foreclosure proceedings and since I was out of state, I could not monitor the property. The bank winterized the home, boarded up the windows, and placed a for sale sign at the front of the property. In XXXX XXXX, I was notified by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to clean up the property to avoid a citation and fine for non-compliance for the upkeep. Upon further investigation, the County still listed me as the owner of the property and Bank of America never recorded a transfer of the title. After a laborious effort in trying find answers from Bank of America regarding the property, I was told that they confirmed the property was foreclosed upon and I would receive notice in the mail. In XXXX XXXX, Bank of America sent me a release of debt for the property rendering me responsible, to my surprise for the previous five years of property taxes. Today, as I am now aware I am the owner, the property taxes and penalty fees are more than the value of the property and prospective buyers are not willing to buy the property for obvious reasons. This practice by the bank appears to be a common unscrupulous act that I am now a victim of to include the municipality for not receiving it 's due taxes.

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2017, I was made aware of Equifax 's security breach potentially affecting 143 million individuals.

Consumer complaint received 10/14/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: I sent the dispute letter below to Trans Union to correct the way items are showing on my report. I included pages from a prior credit report I retrieved on my own through a lender. When they went through their investigation, they now show one item " charged off '' for XXXX which is incorrect, it should be " paid '' and XXXX XXXX loans were paid off because I refinanced student loans that paid them off! They still reflect it incorrectly making it look like the accounts are still open which do affect my FICO accuracy with them. I want them all fixed per my original request. The XXXX one was the most shocking. Where did they get that info from stating it was charged off in 2016? It was not. It was paid and the company ended up being sold to XXXX who has been just awful. These bureaus need to be shut down because they 're incapable of keeping accurate records. I want both problems corrected to reflect " paid '' on all.

Consumer complaint received 01/16/2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Southwest Credit Systems, L.P. (GA).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: I had a XXXX XXXX account in XXXX, XXXX that I closed because I was moving out of state ( to XXXX ). I took all of the equipment less than a week prior to me moving, to the local branch that I normally dealt with and paid them in full so it would be XXXX less thing for me to worry about, this was XXXX 2012. I never once received any correspondence indicating there was an issue until XX/XX/XXXX when it mysteriously showed up on my credit report as not being paid. I contacted them directly and they investigated and wanted me to fax them a receipt, however I told them I did n't have it anymore since it had been over 2 1/2 years and if there had been any problems with it, I should have been notified long before 2 1/2 years and it also should not have been put on my credit report without notifying me first. The XXXX representatives I discussed it with agreed with me, however they said there was nothing further that could be done beside talk to their collections department. I spoke to them and all they wanted to do was discuss payment arrangements which I explained I was not interested in because the bill had already been paid once and I had no interest nor was it fair for me to have to pay it twice. I also filed several disputes with XXXX because XXXX kept reporting it as an active debt, however XXXX currently shows it as a closed account. I explained this to XXXX in my dispute that if XXXX has it closed that they should be reporting the same. In fact, XXXX removed it but then added it back which I did n't understand, but they continue to say after each dispute I make ( I 've made at least XXXX ), that the debt is valid, however it is not and it is hurting my credit and I need it removed.

Consumer complaint received 01-10-2017 about Credit card () with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CA).
Issue: Rewards

Complaint: I used my Capital One Reward Miles to the tune of XXXX of them to purchase a package which included airline tickets and hotel. After waiting for several hours we were told the flight was cancelled. In conversations with Capital One they offered a flight two days later and also advised the return flight at the end of the week was also cancelled and they offered to replace that with a flight two days later as well. None of that worked so we said cancel the flights and give us our miles back. They said they could only do that if the package was cancelled and it was possible the hotel would not be available to rebook. So we left as is until after the trip. Now Capital One claims that the flights were not cancelled but only delayed within a reasonable period of time. All lies and shown to be such by their very own notes from the original calls, but they choose to stick to this story rather than honor was promised at the time, a refund of miles for airline travel. Now they put us on hold for 40 minutes at a time only to come back and give the same answer. A travesty! Especially since our business spends XXXX thousands with them monthly!

Consumer complaint received 11/14/2016 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with MOHELA (CT).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Keep getting calls about my loan

Complaint: I received a call at work regarding my student loan. It is due on the XX/XX/XXXX and I pay every month before it is XXXX days past due. I received a call on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX from XXXX XXXX I called the next day and explained that my home number and email are the ways I prefer to be contacted and they have this information on file. I NEVER gave them my work number because that is not a good number to contact me on nor do I want those calls on that number. I contacted them on XX/XX/XXXX, letting them know not to contact me on that number again. My payment was also made that morning. The person I talked to told me that it would n't happen again and supposedly removed the number. She said that the information was obtained through skip tracing, in case I did not pay. I responded that I pay every month, what indication did you have that I would not pay? No response, other that its a process they do. To my dismay, I was called again on that number from XXXX at XXXX the SAME DAY!! I have a previous case that was submitted on XX/XX/XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 06/17/2016 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (FL).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Public record

Complaint: I have a Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy that was discharged on XXXX/XXXX/2016. In XXXX I started disputing items on my Equifax credit report because they were not updated and my bankruptcy was not in my Public Record section. I attached my Discharge to my dispute and some things were updated while others did not. I filed a second dispute with the same information. When I complained I was told to call their problem resolution line. I explained to them that not only, had I submitted my actual discharge to them, but they were the only credit reporting agency that had not updated my credit report. I was told by Equifax that the Court had to electronically notify Equifax. I called the Court and was told, Equifax just needs to pull it from the Public Record. I called Equifax back and told them what the Court had said and again Equifax told me that the Court needed to send me something. So now I am asking the FTC to step in and help me get the Bankruptcy added to my Equifax credit report.

Consumer complaint received 01/22/2017 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CA).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Personal information

Complaint: I am an employee that was affected by the 2015 OPM background investigation breach. I have tried to sign up for credit monitoring services provided by the Government through an agency called XXXX. When I tried to sign up for my account, I was advised by the customer representative that creditor Experian has incorrect information about me in my credit report and that my account can not be opened until this error is fixed. It was not clear to me exactly what this error is, but the customer representative for XXXX mentioned something about my Social Security Number being too similiar to another individual 's. 

I have tried to obtain my free credit report through the official website and also tried calling Experian customer service to resolve this, but they are always telling me to mail them at their address with money enclosed to pay for my credit report.

Consumer complaint received 09/15/2016 about Debt collection (I do not know) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (FL).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: I arrived to USA two years ago following the American dream and the reunification with my mother and my fianc. 
Months after my arrival my fianc got pregnant and having no place to live together we decide to search for a place to so. The rents were so expensive that my salary and lack of credit history at that moment was not enough to cover all the expenses and we thought it could be better to invest in a property. 
With the help of my uncle we subscribed to all existing governmental institutions as XXXX but purchasing through this institution was not possible since every time we found something according to our necessities and resource the bid was not sufficient. After expending months trying to purchase this way and having no luck I decided to purchase through the XXXX a foreclosure property. 
My uncle requested a home line of credit over his already full paid house, {$150000.00}. Finally with that money I was able to make the purchase for a XXXX home on XXXX XXXX. The house was in pretty bad conditions and needed a lot of fixing which I did my self with help from my family and friends at a cost of around {$50000.00}. 
On XXXX this year I tried to pay my property taxes and to my surprise they were already paid so I contact the payee and requested an explanation. They never came back to me with an answer but instead a few months after I received a visit from an individual advising me that the house would be foreclosed in a few days. I never received a notice or citation. My address and information was register at the county since I obtained a title certificate signed by the court. 
To my surprise I purchased a second loan. If the house was on the market for sale for few years and no one purchased why the first lender did waited for the second mortgage to foreclose. I would agree if there was a lien on the property for other matters but for a mortgage? 
I look at it as a bank scam. I have lived on the premises for a year and a half and after that time and after my claims to the property taxes payee is when the other lender wants to claim. 
Now the bank wants me to pay {$200000.00}. The house is not even worth that amount and if you add the {$200000.00} I already invested the total would have bought me a brand new home. 
The new constructions in the county could be only afforded by reach people then what is it left for the medium class families? 
I would like you to understand that I 'm not an investor that I purchased because my family needed a place to live. I do n't want to lose the house. I own my uncle {$150000.00}, that there are not affordable rents or constructions. That all is left are pure foreclosures and now I should pay for it {$400000.00}. I 'm a young person working and studding at the same time so as my fianc and doing our best to raise our daughter.

Consumer complaint received 01/19/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (PA).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX reported a collection account to all 3 major credit bureaus. I disputed the item and XXXX and XXXX deleted the collection account from my report. Equifax provided me with their " investigation '' results almost immediately upon me filing my dispute and advised the item was " verified as reported '' and that the account in collection belongs to me. 
I am afraid to continue to dispute this item for fear that out of spite the collection agency will re-file their report of this account that is not mine to XXXX and XXXX and I will be back at square one. Can a collection agency do that? What are my rights to demand Equifax stop reporting a collection account that XXXX and XXXX  investigated and determined it is not mine and deleted it?
