Consumer complaint received 09-08-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (VA).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint: Equifax failed to properly secure my personal information leading to a public realease of my personal information without my consent. High ranking members then sold off stock before releasing news of the improper release of data, which is illegal insider trading and fraud. I 'm now highly vulnerable to credit fraud and my score seems way too low on XXXX XXXX. I want Equifax to send me all information and reports it has related to me, including credit, background, licensing etc, any service they provide in any industry that has any data related to me. I want a full reset to a perfect credit score and 5 years of credit monitoring.

Consumer complaint received 02-02-2018 about Debt collection (Medical debt) with Grant & Weber (CA).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language

Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX2018 : I called to inquire about a collections amount on my credit report. XXXX XXXX was whom I spoke with. He refused to tell me the original amount I owed, and whom I owed the money to. Thus, refusing to validate the debt. XXXX also informed me that his company does not own my debt and is just collecting on behalf of the original business. The way they make their money is from the interest on the debt. If they do not own my debt, how can his company charge me interest? Seems fraudulent to me. I was told that he could not provide me with the details of my original debt because medical records do not have to be held for the amount of time that has passed. XXXX became angry when I began to question his reasoning. He then told me that he indeed knew who I owed money to, but he wasn't going to tell me because he didn't want to, and he doesn't have to. These people should not be in business. They are clearly extorting people out of their money and threatening them with a big mark on their credit score. People will pay these thugs because they don't know any better. I need this off of my credit score completely ; like it never happened. It is upsetting to know that this company has access to my social security number. I appreciate any help I can get with this. Thank you.

Consumer complaint received 02/23/2016 about Credit card () with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (TX).
Issue: Closing/Cancelling account

Complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I have had XXXX joint account opened with Chase for almost 10 years. The last XXXX of my credit card is XXXX. I never had any issues ; never behind or late on my account. I have always value my relationship with Chase. Recently I discovered that my account had been closed ( back in XXXX ), but the closing was unauthorized. I never received any type of letter that confirmed the closing or else I would have responded in order to correct or dispute the information. This was my very XXXX credit card, and I would have never attempted to close my account under any circumstances. I called in and spoke to a representative to find out what happened with my account. The representative informed me that it was closed, and it could 've happened by mistake, but I would have to speak with her supervisor to get the account re-opened. Her supervisor XXXX came to the line, stated that the previous rep gave me incorrect information and states that nothing can be done to re-open the account whether it was or was n't a mistake. He states that it was closed in XXXX. He stated that someone called in to close the account, but he had no actual evidence of the call or who called in to do it. He stated that " it must have been you!! '' When I asked to speak with his supervisor ( XXXX XXXX ) he claims that his supervisor wont be available until after XXXX, and if he was available he would n't allow me to speak with him, because he has everything under control and his supervisor would n't be able to help me anyway. After I informed him that I was going to report his attitude and unprofessionalism to the executive office, then he allegedly transferred me to a miscellaneous extension that was not his supervisor extension. It ended up disconnecting the call. I do n't deserve to be treated like this. I did not use any type of profanity nor did I raise my voice during the call. I attempted to handle the conversation in a very professional manner, however I was treated with any type of dignity or respect. The supervisor was very rude, and cold hearted when it came to assisting me. He never attempted to see if the closing was performed by mistake or if the person who called in was even authorized to take matters into their hands to close my account. I would like for my account to be re-opened, because I never authorized for it to be closed, and I do value my relationship with Chase.

Consumer complaint received 08/30/2017 about Mortgage (VA mortgage) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (MD).
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint: The short sale was approved by Chase on XX/XX/XXXX. Settlement was scheduled originally for XX/XX/XXXX. The documents were submitted to Chase for HUD approval on XX/XX/XXXX. The closer did not respond or even review the documents until the day before settlement ( XX/XX/XXXX ). Upon reviewing the information the closer advised that he could not get HUD approval in time for settlement and that he was backed up on other HUD approvals. He advised we reschedule settlement for the XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX. 

Settlement was rescheduled for the XX/XX/XXXX, ( today ). The HUD approval documents were resubmitted the morning of XX/XX/XXXX, giving a full 3 business days for review and approval as instructed in the short sale approval letter. HUD approval has still not been issued. In speaking with the Chase escalations department, there is nothing they can do and several files are backed up. I was advised to cancel settlement and wait for a response from the short sale department. 

The short sale approval letter expires tomorrow. Chase is not handling this file properly and we are going to lose a buyer. This home will end up in foreclosure.

Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Can't close your account

Complaint: I have been trying to get access to my savings account to close it, since I need my money now for some medical bills. Since I could n't get access online I called the customer service number with absolutely no results.

If that fails, I may have to try some  other method of recuping my funds ; and that would only benefit the attornies involved.

Consumer complaint received 07/13/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with U.S. BANCORP (OR).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I am a short sale negotiator with XXXX. I have been hired by the sellers to facilitate a short sale on their property located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Oregon. I have submitted all documentation that is needed to process the short sale for XXXX however they keep insisting on giving them something that is not possible based on our local RMLS. That is an agent view of the MLS indicating how many days the property has been on the market. In order to go around this, I have submitted the full view of the MLS which shows when the property was listed as well as the a history view of the MLS showing the full RMLS history and dates listed or changed to SSP status. This does not suffice to the negotiator and she refuses to remove or postpone the Foreclosure sale date of XXXX XXXX only if I give her something that I am unable to give her given the tools we have here. I have tried explaining this to her via email, a generic email is returned asking for the same thing, I have tried calling, leaving messages with her, my messages have never been returned, i have tried calling into another rep or a manager and nobody can help me. 
This homeowner is trying to do a short sale with a buyer on the property and an accepted offer meeting the investor 's guidelines but now we have this issues that is being ignored from US Bank and not addressed as time is running out.

Consumer complaint received 05/29/2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC (IN).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: I applied for a refinance with cash out in XX/XX/XXXX. The rate was locked and the loan was to be underwritten by Carrington Mortgage. I paid {$450.00} for an appraisal which was performed in ( I believe ) XX/XX/XXXX. I was told we were near closing on at least XXXX different occasions and was asked to gather all of the final payoff documents. Each time, Carrington would come up with some strange documentation request and the closing would be postponed. Each time I was asked to provide additional documentation, I provided it right away. Again, I would be told we were near to closing/gather the documents/then be asked for some obscure documentation. This went on for months. I was told in mid-XX/XX/XXXX that we were ready to close. Once again, I gathered updates for all of the payoffs. This time I was told at the last minute that the appraisal had expired and I would have to get an updated appraisal. This time, Carrington agreed to pay for the appraisal since it was their fault that we had not yet closed the loan. The same appraiser came to my home and basically updated the same appraisal that was done previously. The next thing I know, Carrington is telling me that I have to " clear debris from the bathroom '' and " cover or fill the pool ''. Both of these items were personally discussed with the appraiser each time he was at the property. The appraisal also is marked " AS IS '' and that the value of the home is not contingent upon any upgrades or repairs. By this time, the representative that originated my loan had moved to another company. I decided, since nearly a year had passed and Carrington had STILL not closed my loan, that I would start a new application with the originator that had changed companies. This loan has moved along at lightning speed and we are nearing closing. The current loan company asked Carrington to send them the appraisal that was performed in XX/XX/XXXX. They, again, have been giving us the run around and holding up my loan. Today, I personally, emailed Carrington and was told that since I did not pay for the XXXX appraisal they would not release it to the new company. Bottom line ... Carrington Mortgage has given me the run around for over a year and I now believe they knew all along that I could not get an FHA loan with the credit score I had at the time. All I want is for them to release the appraisal to the loan company I am working with nowl

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: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint: I May or may not be part of the XXXX credit information hack. I can not be certain since its been shown reliably that the XXXX  verification tool is giving out bogus information. And therefore now have to take proactive steps to ensure i 'm safe. I find it unacceptable that I have to PAY to freeze my credit when I did n't consent to my information being stored by XXXX, Experian, 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, without my consent and I should not be required to pay them additional money to protect my information, Especially when companies like XXXX XXXX have in the last week redesigned their website to promote a " credit monitoring '' Service instead of linking directly to a credit freeze application. Thees " bureaus '' are doing a POOR job of protecting my information, then want me to pay them to protect it, FROM THEM The sheer hubris of this in light of the failures by negligence of their actions in the first place is astounding.. Thank you for taking time to read my complaint.

Consumer complaint received 02-01-2017 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (NJ).
Issue: Late fee

Complaint: Citibank. I had a dispute and was fearfully of card number being compromised. Citibank sent me a new card. On my end I did pay the card balance in full, as I 've done in all the 15 years I 've had the card. I made my payment 1 day late, payment in full. They charged me XXXX on my account.. I tried contacting Citibank but they refused to reverse the charge. I close the account and paid their penalty. I paid Citibank in full for all my charges and felt that a one day late payment in full should have a not be penalized. I work for a family run lumber yard and if we treated our customers such as above, they would n't come back to our yard. They did n't reverse the charges, therefore I am contacting you to see if the right thing could be done and credit me the charge. Your consideration is much appreciated.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report

Complaint: To whom it may concern : I am writing to dispute errors on my credit report that show some of my accounts as past due, in collections and charged off/missing payments. I have attached payment records of all debts referred to in the chart I have attached as a word document, which I provided for my background check. These errors are hurting me from attaining clearance for a government job, as it seems I am not paying my debts, especially my government student loans, which is not the case. If these errors could be corrected/updated it would be very helpful.
