Consumer complaint received 06/25/2016 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account terms

Complaint: Experian is reporting a collections account that has been unverified for over 2 years. On my report, XXXX XXXX XXXX is reporting a debt of {$2000.00} for a charged off joint account originated at XXXX ( original balance shows {$990.00} ) and was opened XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. The acct # listed is # XXXX on the credit report ; the credit report number is XXXX. I sent a validation request to the collection agency on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX - 30 days passed with no response. I sent a 2nd notice to them on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX - another 30 days passed and no response. In XXXX i submitted an online dispute at experian.com and it returned a result of " verified ''. The only responses received from this agency are to experian directly. I have no recollection of this account nor its reference and am unable to get any information regarding this collections account. 

I filed a complaint with the XXXX ( case ID XXXX at XXXX Serving XXXX, CA XXXX, Phone : XXXX ) and they sent the debt validation request to the collections agency on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX the XXXX reported they had received no response and were sending a 2nd notice. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX the XXXX sent the 2nd notice. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX the XXXX reported they were unable to solicit a response from the collection agency as well. I have requested 4 times debt validation ( account information details, original creditor information, the source of the debt, how and why the debt balance is increasing, any contracts associated with this account, proof that XXXX both legally owns and is allowed to collect on this debt ). The same information was requested by the XXXX twice as well. 

Experian continues to report this account on my report, but has been unable to provide any supporting information or validation of this debt. The collection agency has failed to respond to inquiries for over 120 days, but continues to report it to Experian and XXXX. I have attached copies of this dispute activity and per FDCPA regulations I am respectfully demanding experian remove this item from my credit report. They only response was to Experian and included one word, " Verified '', but have not provided any information as to what was verified, from whom or provided that to myself. 

Each time i submit the online dispute they decrease my credit score, so I 'm sending this complaint to you ( the CFPB ) to assist in getting this item deleted without being penalized again by the credit bureau. Experian has been reporting an unverified collections account for over 2 years with no assistance to resolve this matter. I would like this account deleted from my credit report and feel I have done my due diligence in attempting to resolve this dispute.

Consumer complaint received 06/25/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: We have been receiving collection letters & phone calls daily for our mortgage account with Wells Fargo when we are current on the mortgage. There is an escrow balance that they 're showing is due for amount of {$100.00}, which is completely inaccurate as we do n't have an escrow account and last year when we switched insurance agencies from one agent to another for the same insurance company ( XXXX XXXX ), they 're claiming the property was not covered. 
This is not accurate as we have been on an call with Wells Fargo Escrow department to sort out this mess and unfortunately I 'm not getting any cooperation with Wells Fargo Escrow and Mortgage departments. Our insurance agent has sent information to them explaining the situation. 
They 're claiming that we have not paid our mortgage, which is not accurate. They 're now sending letters to proceed Foreclosure proceedings. We have never been late on our mortgage and are getting stressed and frustrated with Wells Fargo 's behavior and practices.

Consumer complaint received 01/20/2016 about Mortgage (Home equity loan or line of credit) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: We realized that Wells Fargo created an infant account on our home equity line and automatically was charging us the higher interest rate on our home equity line of credit. We did not sign anything agreeing to the higher interest rate and the infant account with the higher rate was not even visible when we logged into our account summary page. The lower interest rate showed on the home page of our account and the higher rate that we had been charged was only visible by going through a series of steps from the account summary page. This was very misleading because when viewing our account statement it read the amount of the parent account 4.25 % when we had been charged a rate that was 7.75 %. At 3..5 points higher than the rate in the parent account, we calculated that this amounted to over {$14000.00} in excessive interest charged. Wells Fargo took several months to review our complaint and determined " no error occured ''. They did not complete and mail the review until XXXX XXXX, 2015 although they had sent us a letter stating that they would complete their research and provide us with results on XXXX XXXX. We have all documentation. We also have XXXX emails to Wells Fargo Home Equity Consultants asking for options for lower interest rates during the duration when we were getting charged the excessive rate. We were told all 3 times that no better rate was available to us.

Consumer complaint received 12/24/2015 about Bank account or service (Other bank product/service) with UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (WA).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: I have auto insurance, banking, and a homeowner 's policy with USAA. I am a XXXX vet who has trouble with short-term memory ( service connected at 90 % ). Last XX/XX/XXXX ( approximately ), my auto policy became wonky and there was some misinformation going back and forth. I spoke to someone in XX/XX/XXXX as I got a notice of cancellation. She helped me square things away, and stated the policy would not cancel after I made a payment over the phone. She also helped me change the billing date to XX/XX/XXXX, and explained the payments would be about XXXX per month. A week later, letters started arriving about cancellations, forcing me to pay the full policy up front, lapses in coverage, etc. I continued to make XXXX a month payments as I gave up. On XX/XX/XXXX, I opened up a XXXX Auto Policy and sent a letter to USAA to cancel my auto. I called today and was told my policy was cancelled for non-payment. 
Here 's where it gets worse. I tried to log on to access my bank account and my homeowners policy, and the system would not allow me access to these XXXX current accounts, stating I must call due to an issue. I called and was transferred to many people, and in fact XXXX of these folks refused to help ( especially a male in the banking side who forwarded me without helping me out ). USAA, who says they care for our Vets, do n't realize that XXXX and frustration do not help us out and that I was extremely XXXX after being passed around like this with many people in different departments. 
I told them, all I want is to access my bank account as it is XX/XX/XXXX. They told me in order to access my banking, I would have to go to the auto side and pay the XXXX payment for an outstanding balance ( which I disagreed with ). 
I went ahead and made the payment, so I could gain access to my bank account. After the payment was made, I was then told I still ca n't access my bank account until the payment clears, but after checking with the manager she came back and said it refreshes after midnight. I asked why I can not access my bank account as this is separate from the auto insurance division. I even went as far as stating that this is ransoming my financial product ( by stating they were kidnapping my account ), which I understand is a silly statement, but was said out of frustration. After 65 minutes on the phone, the only thing I have is a paid account ( which I do n't owe because I gave them the date of my Progressive policy ), and still no access to my bank account.

Consumer complaint received 05/25/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Ditech Financial LLC (CA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: Dear CFPB, We have had intermittent difficulties paying our mortgage for about 5 years because we have been living on XXXX income and our second mortgage is an ARM that adjusts upward every year. 

We applied for a loan modification with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Greentree in XXXX and again in XXXX. In both years, they had mentioned that we might qualify for a HAMP modification which would help to also modify our second mortgage. In both years they declined us for a HAMP modification saying that our mortgage debt to income ratio needed to be higher than 31 %. Using the numbers we submitted on the loan modification forms, I calculate that our debt to income ratio is 36 % so we should qualify. After the second decline I finally pushed them to explain to me how the ratio would not be greater than 31 % and they said they calculate this based only on the first mortgage payment - they do not include our payment amount for the second mortgage in our monthly mortgage payment. This is inaccurate and deceiving. How can the mortgage company be allowed to calculate our monthly mortgage expense without including both mortgages? And why are they deceiving us by asking us to submit our total expenses and both mortgage amounts when they only plan to use XXXX number in their calculations? Our second mortgage is much higher than our first mortgage so this difference in calculation is huge. We are now facing foreclosure on our second mortgage and they are not able to consider a HAMP modification because our first mortgage did not qualify us for this modification.

Consumer complaint received 04-12-2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with CITIBANK, N.A. (KS).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: We began trying to refinance our home on XX/XX/XXXX. After providing all of the " typical '' documents needed after the initial approval, we moved on through to the closing disclosure process when our lender checked our credit once more before actual closing only to find some issues on our credit reports. We disputed a few accounts, two in particular, one being XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which was reporting my Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy as though it had happened in XX/XX/XXXX. I filed on XX/XX/XXXX and the discharge was granted on XX/XX/XXXX. As a consumer, the reporting verbiage is quite vague and often does not come across in an adverse way until you try and apply for a loan. ( I realize the accounts included in the bankruptcy are adverse or derogatory for 10 years, however, they should be reporting accurately as to the filing date of XX/XX/XXXX, which is over 3 years ago allowing for us to move forward on an FHA refinance ). However, they are reporting as though the bankruptcy was discharged as recently as XX/XX/XXXX and kicks us right out of being able to close on our loan ... yet again. When we first filed a dispute with all three bureaus regarding the inaccurate reporting, it was supposedly corrected on XX/XX/XXXX and reporting as it should. However, after that initial dispute was resolved, a new one began leading us to the current date. That was resolved on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX so we thought we were good to go to finally pick up where we had left off and proceed with the documentation to get the loan closed. Our lender ran another credit check only to find two of the former accounts we had disputed and were told were resolved were reporting inaccurately yet again. We are now back to square one. Losing out on yet more money each day that passes, our initial interest rate, which was much lower in XX/XX/XXXX than it currently is now and have to wait for this to be resolved yet again in order to try and move forward again.I am providing the initial dispute documentation, the successful fax email I received from my lender for that dispute, my full schedule providing the filing and discharge dates as well as how they are currently reporting incorrectly compared to an account that was also discharged in my bankruptcy and how it reports accurately to illustrate the difference. I am also providing all email correspondence in regards to this previous dispute already initiated and supposedly completed in XX/XX/XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 10/31/2017 about Checking or savings account (Other banking product or service) with TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (NY).
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX checks were deposited into my TD Bank account without my knowledge or authorization. The signatures on the back of the checks are a forgery of my signature. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX there were XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX unauthorized ATM withdrawals from my account. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX there were three ( 3 XXXX unauthorized ATM withdrawals. There was also an unauthorized charge made at a XXXX store. TD Bank called me to report a possible illegal transaction. I confirmed with TD Bank by phone that the transactions were indeed fraudulent transactions. I had virtually no money in my account so therefore I should have had no activity. TD Bank can easily ascertain that the transactions were unusual for my account as they obviously presumed when TD Bank called me to report the unusual activity. I filed a Police report as soon as I received the telephone call from TD Bank alerting me to the fraud. TD Bank had carried a negative - {$2100.00} on my account for four ( 4 ) months. Then for several months I received bank statements and the negative- {$2100.00} did not appear. I recently settled a XXXX ' XXXX case. Once the settlement was deposited into my TD Bank account, TD Bank used " self help '' and debited my account for {$2100.00} ( XXXX offset ). This was the amount that was illegally obtained through their ATM machines. TD Bank, knew that I was a victim of fraud. TD Bank 's erroneous position that I am liable for the theft that TD Bank allowed to occur at their ATM machines is ridiculous. The XXXX detective informed me that the video at the ATM machines where the crimes were perpetrated clearly show that I am not the person at the ATM machine withdrawing the money.

Consumer complaint received 02/13/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: I pulled my credit report from all three bureaus and realize that there is an account I don't recognize. I wrote a littler to all bureaus stating ... 

" It has come to my attention that you are reporting an account that I do not recognize [ XXXX XXXX ]. After pulling a report from all three bureaus, I noticed that the account type is listed differently with each bureau, the open date is different, the past due amount is different, monthly payment is different, original limit and high balance lists different amounts. 
A few years ago, I was a victim of Identity Theftcopies of the police report and FBI agent contact information was sent to you at the time. To my understanding the law allows me to ask for all the documentation associated with this accountany detailed proof and/or copies of the original contracts and signaturesas I need to compare and match with my records. 
Please send an updated copy of my credit report to the above address ; in addition, I request that you send notices of corrections to anyone who received my credit report within the past six months. ''

Consumer complaint received 08/18/2016 about Mortgage (Other mortgage) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I HAVE REQUESTED AND APPEALED TO MY MORTGAGE LENDER ( BANK OF AMERICA ) TO PLEASE CORRECT THEIR MISTAKE ABOUT EVALUATING MY LOAN MODIFICATION APPLICATION BUT THEY HAVE FAILED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE REPEATEDLY!! 
The lender approved my trial loan modification but then they refused to turn this offer into a permanent plan!!!! They claim that they can not verify my tax returns from 6 years ago!!!!!, i.e. XXXX and XXXX. This is an absolute false claim from B of A because I have presented all the tax returns for every single year that they requested, including XXXX & XXXX. 
I even gave them official transcripts DIRECTLY from IRS, confirming that I DID file taxes for all the years disputed by B of A. 

So I have all kinds of proofs that my tax filing history is correct and accurate. But the lender keeps repeating a false claim and a baseless assumption with no proofs whatsoever!!!! 
They keep repeating their wrong information regarding events of 6 years ago!!!! 
This behavior is both unreasonable and very unfair. I have solid proofs of my tax filings which I have repeatedly presented to them. Yet they keep repeating the same false assumptions!!!

Issue: Taking out the loan or lease

Complaint: Applied for loan with Circleback Lending - after they solicited me for my good credit record. Submitted all documentation that was asked for.
