Consumer complaint received 03/27/2015 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (MI).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: Ally financial charged me a late fee of XXXX for a late amount of XXXX. I contacted Ally via their web site ( which states a XXXX response time to complaints/comments ) twice without any response. I did n't realize I was short on my payment for XXXX As soon as I received a note from Ally - on XXXX/XXXX/15 I scheduled a XXXX payment. How does a bank get to charge 100 % late fee. Today XXXX/XXXX/15 I received another note from Ally saying they are charging me another XXXX plus XXXX. This is crazy. Additionally about 3 months ago I called Ally and requested an audit of my loan because I felt Ally was not crediting my payments correctly. The agent told me Ally does not do that - she absolutely refused and advised Ally has no executive services for handling customer complaints. Please investigate this lender they are terrible.

Consumer complaint received 11-05-2015 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with DISCOVER BANK (AZ).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: Last year I set up an automatic ACH payment with a vendor ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) to be made to my bank ( Discover Bank ). I recently cancelled the service with the vendor. I requested that the vendor cancel the automatic withdrawals. I advised my bank NOT to honor any further ACH payment requests from this vendor. However, in spite of my written and verbal requests, the bank continues to honor these unauthorized ACH payment requests and continue to pay the vendor long after the service has been cancelled. I have repeatedly requested that the bank stop and they refuse to do so. I am not concerned about PAST payments - that money is gone, but I would appreciate if they would STOP payments in the future. This should not be that difficult to do.

Consumer complaint received 07-07-2015 about Debt collection (I do not know) with J.S Resolution Group, Inc. (CA).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/15 at XXXX pacific time. I received a call from an unknown number. Person left name, XXXX XXXX, stating that if I did n't call them back immediately legal action would be taken & I would be served papers. She left the file #. I returned the call at XXXX pacific time. I was transferred XXXX times. The first person was XXXX XXXX because, I recognized her voice from the voicemail msg. She then transferred me to someone named XXXX. XXXX said my name & asked if the last XXXX digits of my social were # # # #. As I was on hold, I XXXX this company 's name and saw the list of complaints from different consumers. 
When XXXX asked about my social, I replied, " I do n't know you tell me if that is correct. What is this debt about? I know my bills and I know who I need to pay. Can you tell me what is this regarding? '' XXXX replied : " So you do n't know your social? '' I said, " Ma'am, what is this debt about? Can you give me any information on who this debt is owed to? '' She said : " I ca n't give you any information because I need to verify that it is you who I am speaking to. '' I said, " I 'm not going to verify my social security number because, I do not owe any debt collector, and you will not even tell me what this about. '' She said : I am asking you for the last XXXX digits of your social security number. '' I said, " And I am telling you to verify the debt. What is this company that I apparently owe this debt to? '' She said, " So, you 're not going to give me the last XXXX digits of your social security number? '' I said, " I tell you what I will do, I am going to call the police. '' She said, " Fine. '' And she hung up the phone. If she was trying to verify if the person is actually me, why would she blurt out the last XXXX digits of someone 's social security number? Usually when asked to verify your social, a representative from a reputable financial institution will not repeat your information.

Consumer complaint received 02/20/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (WA).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: On or about XX/XX/2017, I called my bank XXXX XXXX to ask for new checks to be sent to my new home address because I had run out of checks. They said that they would send the checks right away. After a week, the checks had not arrived so I called them again and they said the same thing. I wound up calling XXXX XXXX six times over a two month period, each time urging them to send the new checks because I had bills to pay on another bank account ( XXXX XXXX ). Finally I was late on a car payment ( 30 days ) because I did not have the checks to make the deposit to XXXX XXXX. The checks finally after 6 calls and two months did in fact arrive, after which I immediately went to XXXX XXXX to make the deposit and the loan payment. XXXX XXXX in the meantime, filed a 30-day late notice with the credit reporting agencies. I feel that this is completely wrong and irresponsible on XXXX XXXX 's end that they did not send the checks and now I have this on my credit score which has gone from XXXX to XXXX on one credit reporting agency.

Consumer complaint received 11-05-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (FL).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: We are homeowner with a mortgage serviced by Ocwen. I am a Veteran and retired from XXXX with nearly 14 years in. My story is two-fold, 1.Making payments-Loan servicing, payments, escrow accounts 2.Problems when you are unable to pay-Loan modification, foreclosure Ocwen purchased our loan from another mortgagor. At that time they constantly said our full monthly payment was short bc of fees the previous company took and so Ocwen kept taking our monthly payment and applying it to fees instead of the principal payment and told us we only made a partial payment when we would MAKE NUMEROUS calls to someone in XXXX. This cycle continued on a monthly bases without any warning that we were being set up for a foreclosure scam with XXXX of other home owners. They also had a monthly fee for coming by the house and telling us we did not live there. The kicker here was that Ocwen would never give you their email address and then tell you that they never received the fax from you with the number Ocwen would provide. 
THE FOLLOWING PRACTICES WERE CONDUCTED BY OCWEN SERVICING OUR LOAN. 
1.Failing to timely and accurately apply payments made by borrowers and failing to maintain accurate account statements ; 2. Charging unauthorized fees for default-related services ; 3. Proving false or misleading information to borrowers regarding loans that had been transferred from other servicers. 
I also went on the Ocwen website and there was a contradiction that showed payments were made in full and not late, so I printed those out. But after I tried to get a credit check to refinance the house, Ocwen then removed the payment history and changed all the information to delinquent on the website and on the credit history. This so discouraged us that when we saw what they did to my credit score and the mortgage rate we were offered we quit and were XXXX. It effected my wife XXXX and I could n't do anything to fix it. 
Ocwen tried to push us into foreclosure by XXXX XXXX. 
Took advantage of us with servicing shortcuts and unauthorized fees. 
Deceived us about foreclosure alternatives and improperly denied loan modifications. 
Engaged in illegal foreclosure practices. 
This lead to foreclosure talks and us fighting to keep our house by get up to date on our payment.

Consumer complaint received 09/20/2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with ProCollect, Inc (AR).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: The company has contacted me repeatedly to attempt to collect a debt that I do not owe. I tried to reason with these people and they continued to lie and harass me. The rental application ( which I can submit ) specifically states that unless you pay the application fee, your application would not be processed. No application = no deposit and no hold on a unit. However, after I relayed this information to ProCollect, they yelled at me and accused me of not paying my bills. I requested that they no longer contact me until they send me proof of the bill and they did neither. I am still awaiting proof til this day. All they have ever sent me was a invoice that was sent to them! That 's not proof of me agreeing to pay a deposit or being forced into a apartment I did not put a deposit in for either! My application fee was returned because I accidentally was {$.00} short of the {$35.00}. I called the representative I was in contact with immediately and let him know of the situation and that I would have to wait until I could come up with enough to pay it in cash. He said " okay. '' That was the end of that! 

Until 2016. This year they found me and harassed me. It has stopped me from getting an apartment that would 've helped me out a lot. I am disgusted with the representatives and the company 's response in general! I want them to remove the mark on my credit report and stop contacting me about {$230.00} that I do not owe!

Consumer complaint received 07-06-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY).
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services
Sub-issue: Billing dispute for services

Complaint: Hello, Short description : Experian enrolled and charged me for several months of a credit monitoring service, when all I had ordered was a one-time credit report. See my attached letter and their response, along with my receipt for the one-time report.
When shopping for a car in XX/XX/XXXX, I ordered the single report and was charged {$5.00}. In XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed a recurring charge from Experian on my XXXX XXXX statement. I NEVER ENROLLED in a recurring monitoring product. I never USED this product.
<P/>
When I contacted Experian, they claimed I had signed up for a 7-day trial membership. I did n't do that ( and certainly not knowingly ) - and how would that be consistent with the receipt I received for the one-time credit report charge?? ( Furthermore, from looking today at their website, it 's not even clear that they have a 7-day trial product. ) As their response indicates, Experian clearly would rather be able to say " GOTCHA! '' than deal fairly with their customers. It 's interesting to me that many merchants make a different choice. As but one example, I get an emailed receipt EVERY MONTH from XXXX for XXXX XXXX for the added space in my XXXX account. If Experian followed the same reputable business practice, I would have realized immediately that there was an issue and could have resolved the problem before several months of their alleged charge had piled up.
<P/>
Thank you

Consumer complaint received 06-09-2016 about Credit card () with U.S. BANCORP (TX).
Issue: Rewards

Complaint: I have a XXXX XXXX Rewards Visa card, issued by U.S. Bank on XXXX/XXXX/16. I filed a complaint ( # XXXX ) previously with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with regard to the incorrect assignment of reward points for XXXX In-Store transactions. Due to a computer programming error, the XXXX transactions were treated as though they were Out-of-Store transactions, resulting in XXXX fewer points earned during the XX/XX/XXXX statement period. The prior complaint has been resolved, and my XXXX 2016 Statement shows a " Rewards Adjustment '' of XXXX points. The Rewards Adjustment notation is listed on the statement, under the heading " Points Earned ''. 

The current complaint addresses a XXXX-point discrepancy regarding the # of Points Earned Year to Date. According to my XXXX 2016 Statement, I have XXXX Points Earned Year to Date. However, the U.S. Bank website shows a different value : XXXX Points Earned Year to Date. 

Let me describe where I see XXXX Points Earned Year to Date. Online, the screen titled " Rewards Center '' contains information about rewards. This information is positioned within a section titled " View and Redeem Rewards ''. Within the section " View and Redeem Rewards '', there is a more specific area titled " Rewards Details ''. It is there -- within the area " Rewards Details '' -- where I see XXXX Points Earned Year to Date. 

By using a simple mathematical calculation -- XXXX points ( on statement ) minus XXXX points ( online ) equals XXXX points -- a person can easily conclude that the XXXX-point discrepancy could be attributed to a computer programming error. Perhaps the computer system that conveys information online was not programmed to recognize a " Rewards Adjustment '' as being equivalent to " Points Earned ''. 

The XXXX-point disparity has an effect on whether I will receive my first XXXX Rewards Certificate. XXXX/U.S. Bank exchange XXXX earned points for XXXX Certificate ( worth {$5.00} ). If XXXX/U.S. Bank rely on the statement-generated computer system to determine if I meet the requirement ( XXXX earned points ), I would receive a Certificate. But, if they use the online-reporting computer system to determine if I meet the requirement, I would not receive a Certificate. 

XXXX/U.S. Bank need to reconcile the XXXX-point disparity as soon as possible. In my opinion, it is inappropriate and misleading to use the same descriptor ( i.e., Points Earned Year to Date ) for XXXX numbers that are not identical ( i.e., XXXX, XXXX ).
