Consumer complaint received 06-04-2016 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (AZ).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account terms

Complaint: Hello, we have contacted XXXX XXXX as well as the credit reporting agencies to removed the XXXX 30 days from our accounts, from my credit report as well as my husbands XXXX XXXX 's. It is a joint account. 
Our Issue is, We called in for a payment option. Ready and willing to make the payment on time that day. After speaking with one of the customer service members I called in. I was given the option to pay {$1900.00} on XXXX XXXX, 2016 and {$2900.00} for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I was told that I would receive paperwork in the mail but that all I needed to be aware of was making the first payment on XXXX XXXX, 2016 so that the payment plan would not default. The payments have been made as directed and are not considered late. Though they are reflecting on our report as late. The agent did not advise us that by choosing this plan it would effect our credit score and or show up as late on our credit report or we would not have chosen this option. I feel it should be told to you by XXXX XXXX customer service who suggest this plan that if you do choose it t could negatively impact your credit report for 7 years. This would have drastically changed are decision towards this payment plan. When we called to explain to XXXX they said the representative would be reprimanded but they could not fix the error. We advised we were in the middle of a home sale and or refinance and something of this nature could drastically effect that. We have paid on time for 3 years to XXXX XXXX, never missing one payment. By choosing the option they suggested as a payment break up it now shows we are 30 days late not on time and completely effects our future situation on home buying as well as character. I feel it is fully unethical on chases part to not advise you of this when they are suggesting " Options. '' I am in the middle of a re-finance and can not move forward because of this negative impact on my credit score that was never disclosed to me when I accepted what the agent advised me on XX/XX/XXXX. Can you please remove this from our credit score? I Greatly Appreciate you taking the time to do this. 

Thank You, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 03/19/2017 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with LoanCare, LLC (NV).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: When I closed on my mortgage, I had the flood and home owners insurance set up to be paid out of my escrow account and paid accordingly so there would be enough to cover these expenses. My loan was sold to another servicer ( Loan Care ) and they did not pay the insurances when they came due. I sent 2 emails to them getting a computer generated response stating within 5 days somebody would contact me, it did NOT happen either time. I spent nearly an hour talking from person to person trying to get this resolved and finally got hung up on. My insurance agent and I called again, this time we faxed them the necessary paper work proving the insurance was to be paid by the mortgager. Flood insurance was due so I had to pay it out of my pocket, even though there was in excess of {$1000.00} in my escrow account, they still have not paid the homeowners insurance and Iam not sure if I will ever get reimbursed from the money I had to spend, they said they would look into it, but I have not heard from them since. I need some help dealing with these people, I have the XXXX pages of original closing documents I faxed to them and copies of all the emails. Now Iam worried I will have to come up with more money to pay the homeowners ins. it is due to expire soon.

Consumer complaint received 01/15/2016 about Credit card () with AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (CA).
Issue: Billing statement

Complaint: I applied for the Amercian Express card. I have charged XXXX dollars on the card. Because of a bad service I decided to cancel card after couple of weeks. I cut the american express card. When I received the bill and wanted to pay it through bill pay, American Express bill did not have the full account number. I called and requested that my account number be sent to my home address on record after answering all the security questions. American Express refused and insisted on getting my own financial information over the phone. I am not comfortable giving my bank information to a customer service rep who might be in a different country. 
I am concerned that not paying the bill on time will affect my credit history which is excellent. I just need the account number to pay the bill and they are refusing. All other major credit card companies have the account number of the bill. I do n't understand the problem.

Consumer complaint received 09/13/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AZ).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint: I was part of the XXXX credit information hack. it is unacceptable that I have to PAY to freeze my credit when I did not consent to my information being stored by XXXX, Experion, or XXXX in the first place. Congress should make credit freezes and unfreezes free federally. Credit reporting agencies already make money off of my information and I should not be required to pay them additional money to protect my information, especially when they are doing a POOR job in the first place. Thank you for taking time to read my complaint.

Consumer complaint received 07/29/2016 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with NELNET, INC. (MN).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint: Hello, I 've been trying to pay off my student loans. Every month I pay about XXXX extra on my highest interest loan. I always check the " do not advance due date '' check box. For months, this has allowed me to make the payment for the month and apply the rest of the payment to principle. Yet, when I made my payment this month, I logged in and found out that I still was expected to pay my payment for the month again. I called to talk to a representative and she said that " They have no explanation why the payment system is not working correctly ''. She also said " it 's being " wonky '' this month '' and could give no further explanation. 
She then said I should pay my payment again this month ( while having no explanation as to how this would affect my interest accrued ) or that I could have my payment deferred into the next month because the system was being wonky. 

I do n't feel that this is an adequate explanation and I have no reassurance that my payments are being applied correctly. If I had n't logged in early this month I would have had to pay additional interest and penalties. 

It 's not my job to debug their IT systems and I would like an explanation and some reassurance that my account is n't being overcharged. I also do n't feel I should have to constantly log in to make sure that their system is n't being " wonky '' and making me make additional payments that I do n't owe. She also tried to blame it on me for checking the " due not advance due date '' checkbox, but that still means I 'm making the payment for the month. It just does n't apply it 3-4 months out when I pay extra towards the loan. 


Thanks.

Consumer complaint received 12/28/2017 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 ordered a XXXX Internet service, but XXXX did not get the service setup - indeed I have attached a voicemail message from a XXXX representative where he states that the service was not setup, however XXXX proceeded to bill me for the service that never was setup and never provided. I have several times reported this both to XXXX and to the debt collector that XXXX gave this over to - all to no avail as they just say their records show I received the service. The fact is they could not setup and provide the connection to my home and acknowledged this in the attached voice message left on my phone answering machine ; however, XXXX continued to bill me for what never got installed. I sought internet service and they threw in a phone line as a special addon offer, but I never received any of these. Indeed, after a year of disputing and getting their acknowledgement that they in fact never sent me the box with their modem that was part of the original order, they then, one year later without my knowledge, sent the the useless box with modem that could not be used because they had never completed the line setup to my house and the service obviously was not setup even then. For many years I have tried to straighten this out but my credit has been lowered due to their false claim on my credit showing " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' for " XXXX '' as a bad, unpaid debt on XXXX, XXXX and TransUnion all to my damage. Even with my proof ( see voicemail from their rep attached ) it never was installed, they insist their records say otherwise. These arrogant companies deserve to be fined severely and pay for the damages they cause!

Consumer complaint received 09-07-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NY).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: This is an addition to previous complaint case # XXXX / omb # XXXX as I was unable to add additional information to that complaint as a result of Wells Fargo 's responses to me. 

I was advised at XXXX Tuesday XXXX/XXXX/16 by Wells Fargo rep XXXX XXXX that his managers refused to provide restitution for the purchases I made in anticipation of my vacation to fire island that was cancelled as a result of all the misinformation provided to me by multiple Wells Fargo reps while I was getting a loan modification. I would not have made the purchases if not for the XXXX XXXX trip that I had to cancel. I wanted to add to the complaint that I was told NO restitution is being provided. 
This is very upsetting that this company can tell me XXXX or XXXX different things as it pertains to my mortgage payment amounts and dates, take money from my account when not authorized AND not provide any restitution for or be accountable for their actions causing me and my family great losses. We lost out on a vacation ( TWICE AS A RESULT OF MISSINFORMATION ), which in my eyes, with XXXX children looking forward to is priceless, money spent for that vacation at least {$2200.00}, there was at least {$1000.00} more but that was spent in cash so unfortunately I can not provide receipts for that. Another {$700.00} or so in medical expenses and they say " sorry, cant help you with that '' I would like to insist that at the very least, they provide restitution on this matter with re payment to me in the amount of {$3000.00} Thank you.
