Consumer complaint received 10/15/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MO).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint: I recieved written correspondence by mail that ambiguously said to call their XXXX number to discuss matters regarding my account ending in XXXX. I call, because it did n't say what it was about but I knew I had existing fraud claims. I spoke to the agent, referenced the letter and asked if it was in regards to my open fraud case. She stated no. That it was an offer to raise my credit limit and asked if I wanted to take advantage of the offer. Every increase was done without my requested permission so this was new to me. I specifically asked if it was going to put a hard pull on my social. She said no, that it was an offer for an existing account. I explained that if it did, I did NOT want it as I can not have any more pulls and do n't really need an increase in limit, that I planned on purchasing a new car in coming months. I was reassured ( all on recorded lines that I 've played back and listened to! ) that this was not the case. She asked how much of an increase I would like ( again, another first ). I said I did n't really care. She threw out some numbers, went with the lowest. She then told me I would get written correspondence in the mail regarding the increase ( which sounded fishy ). Not an hour later I get multiple alerts on my credit for a new hard inquiry. I waited a few days to see if it would fall off out of error, it did not. I called the customer service line and they assured me it was not an offer, that it was about my fraud claim, and that they would remove the hard pull. They have n't, it is still showing!

Consumer complaint received 10/22/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Servis One, Inc. (NJ).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: BSI Financial mailed a Escrow disbursement check naming me and my EX wife the payees. I am divorced, quit claim deed was filed. There is an order of protection on file. I do not have any contact with my ex wife. I mailed in all documentation stating such. They were unwilling to reissue a check with only my name so I could cash it. So there is money sitting not being utilized because of this inconsiderate, corrupt company.

Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: I contacted Citibank to file a dispute on charges debited from my account by XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Florida. I conducted business with this company over the telephone for credit repair services. The company did not do anything to repair my credit, more than 90 days passed from the time I paid the company and nothing was done on their behalf to assist me with the credit repair services they promised. I contacted Citibank on XX/XX/XXXX and filed a dispute for the charge of {$300.00} debited from my account on XX/XX/XXXX and for {$500.00} debited on XX/XX/XXXX. I reached out to XXXX XXXX and the individual I spoke to told me they were not going to refund my money even though they have not provided the services they promised for {$800.00}. I decided to contact my bank fro assistance. Citibank denied my claim on XX/XX/XXXX based on the fact that the information I provided was not enough to support my claim. I did business over the phone with this scammers that fraudulently stole my hard earn money. I did business over the phone with the company off course I do not have anything from them to show to Citibank, I never signed any documents with this company, I provided my information to them in good faith that they will deliver on their promise to assist me with credit repair in turn I get robed for my hard earned money and Citibank allows that to happen I am their client. They are not taking care of my claim as a consumer.

Consumer complaint received 07/17/2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NY).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: Fifth Third Bank is the servicer on my mortgage and responsible for paying all property taxes on the property pursuant to the escrow agreement. Since  XXXX  of 2014, they have failed to pay a portion of the property tax. That outstanding portion sat on my account unpaid and collecting interest. I only found out about this when I was in the processing of re-financing the loan and the outstanding amount was discovered. I have asked Fifth Third to reimburse me the amount of interest that unpaid portion of the property tax and they have yet to respond. I fully expect the interest charges on that amount to be reimbursed and feel a fine should be in order. If I had n't refinanced and caught this omission of duties on their part, I 'd be looking at a huge property tax bill some 26 years down the line when I finally manage to pay off my mortgage. This is completely unacceptable.

Consumer complaint received 10-08-2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MD).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: I went to a Bank of America ATM at a local branch on XXXX/XXXX/16 to withdraw {$2100.00} from the ATM. I was not able to make the withdrawal since the amount I requested was over the daily withdrawal limit for the ATM. My only choice at that time was to go into the branch and withdraw the cash from my account at the teller line, which is what I did. 

Also on XXXX/XXXX/16 I went to a Bank of America ATM at a local branch to withdraw {$2300.00} from the ATM. I was not able to make the withdrawal since the amount I requested was over the daily withdrawal limit for the ATM. My only choice again was to go into the branch and withdraw the cash from my account at the teller line, which is what I did. 

The type of account that I have is an electronic only account which means that I do not get charged a monthly fee as long as I use electronic means like online and ATMs to access the account. If I do use bank personnel like a teller, I get charged a {$8.00} monthly maintenance fee on my next statement date. 

Bank of America should not be able to designate an account as a no fee checking account and then charge a fee if the transaction you request can not be completed electronically. This is like having a free parking zone for 5 seconds which is actually allowing you to park free but the functionality of the parking space is designed to charge you for practical usage. 

This practice should be disallowed at Bank of America. If an account is designated as free for electronic usage then the bank can not restrict the usage by electronic means OR the bank can not charge for in-person/teller usage if the electronic means provided by the bank does not allow your transaction to be processed.

Consumer complaint received 05/28/2016 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with CarMax, Inc. (CA).
Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Complaint: CarMax auto finance has taken advantage of our family, gave us a high interest rate, we have paid over 4 years now and tried to work a settlement offer and refinance for a lower payment and they will not cooperate whatsoever. We are having financial hardships, my husband has been on XXXX leave and I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX that works only 9.25 months a year. We have tried to contact the company with a reasonable settlement to deliver the car as a voluntary repo with a settlement paid status so they do not come for the balance since the car has been paid in full from the price sold, they can still sell it and make more money off the interest. We have spoken to over XXXX customer service representatives and XXXX managers and have had no luck in getting any type of arrangement made in writing. They will not work with us at all and are very unhelpful. We feel they have discriminated against us because we are minority with this high interest rate and we have paid and made payment arrangements in good faith. They are unwilling to help our family in need we have XXXX children and my husband still remains on XXXX. We feel the offer was fair and given our circumstances and true inability to pay any longer and our family is now in a desperate situation requesting the company 's assistance to come to an amicable arrangement. We know it can be done and has been done.

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

Complaint: Equifax 's data breach supposedly included my data which would easily allow someone to steal my identity and attempt to open credit lines in my name. Equifax 's handling of the situation thus far has been terrible, including trying to get people to sign up for a free monitoring service which included a clause attempting to force people to wave their rights to file a lawsuit against them ( I did not sign up for this service ). Also concerning is the news that higher ups at Equifax used insider trading info to sell stock before making knowledge of the breach public.

Consumer complaint received 02/27/2016 about Credit card () with BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (CA).
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint: Date : XXXX XXXX, XXXX From : XXXX XXXX XXXX To : Barclays Bank Delaware Card Services Enterprise Holdings , Inc., XXXX XXXX XXXX, Chairman and CEO CC : Consumer Finance Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) Subject : Credit Card Charge Dispute This letter is to dispute the below described charge and the handling of this dispute by Barclay 's Bank Delaware. In addition, this letter is to file a complaint regarding the handling of this matter by both Barclay 's Bank Delaware and XXXX XXXX. 

On or about XXXX XXXX, XXXX, when making my monthly payment on my Barclays Bank Delaware XXXX Aviator Red MasterCard, I discovered that there had been a fraudulent use of my card. My old account number was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, which has been changed by Barclays Bank Delaware to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, due to the fraudulent use of my credit card , probably by an employee of XXXX XXXX. The amount of the charge was {$200.00} and the charge was initiated on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and posted to my account on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I immediately called Barclays Bank Delaware Card Services and XXXX and advised both organizations of the fraudulent charge. In reviewing my card statement today, I noted that on XXXX XXXX, XXXX Barclays Bank credited my account with the amount of {$200.00} and then charged my account that same amount on XXXX XXXX, XXXX without advising me of the status of their investigation. 

During the period XXXX XXXX, XXXX through XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I was in XXXX XXXX, Utah and therefore would have been unable to rent a car or truck from Enterprise in XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I had physical possession of the card during the period that I was in Utah and in fact still have possession today ; therefore, my credit card could not have been physically presented by anyone to rent a car. In conversation with XXXX they disclosed to me that the card number was entered manually, which indicates that whoever used the card did not have physical possession. When I rented a truck in XXXX XXXX from XXXX, I used this card and presented my driver 's license, so an employee of XXXX would have been able to keep my card and driver 's license numbers. As you may know when renting a car, one must present both a credit card number and driver 's license. Since I was in Utah and had control of both my card and driver 's license, it would have been impossible for anyone to present my license and card when renting a car. That leads me to the conclusion that only an employee of XXXX could have used my card number, as that person would not have had to present a driver 's license. 

Please properly and thoroughly investigate this matter and keep me informed by telephone or letter. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Struggling to repay your loan
Sub-issue: Problem lowering your monthly payments

Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX put my account into forbearance. Was charged a {$100.00} fee. XX/XX/XXXX was told that I could not put my loans into deferment. Got a bill for over {$800.00}.

Consumer complaint received 02/17/2016 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (AR).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint: In XXXX XXXX, I received a divorce degree from my wife and was awarded the marital home by the courts. However, after seven months of seeking to assume the full mortgage in my name, XXXX XXXX refused to refinance or remove my wife 's name from the mortgage and acted in bad faith throughout the negotiations by delaying any attempts for me assume the title and mortgage for the home even though I provided them with copies of court records, divorce decree and financial statements to prove my " financial fitness. '' In XXXX XXXX, I signed the house over to my former wife and left the home after XXXX XXXX said I was unable to pay the mortgage after the divorce although I had maintained the mortgage and maintenance of the house without a missed payment for 15 months. During our marriage, there was never a late or missed payment of the mortgage. When we obtained our original mortgage from XXXX XXXX, we also became involved in a dispute whereby a white XXXX XXXX employee refused to accept our application for a mortgage when she learned that I and my wife were XXXX. We had no problems with our credit or other applicant information until I corrected information on our application that had misidentified me and my wife as " XXXX. '' It was at this point, that the XXXX XXXX representative refused to complete our application or return our calls. It was only after we complained about these actions to XXXX corporate office and threatened legal action concerning the company 's well-known past actions to redline XXXX customers did we get a positive response from the company and completed our mortgage agreement. During my application for mortgage assumption, the XXXX XXXX representative told me that I should have no problem assuming the mortgaged after paying a {$1600.00} assumption fee, but after submitting my application I received a letter in the mail a week later saying my application was denied. Since then, XXXX XXXX has also refused to allow my former wife to assume the mortgage and has kept both our names on the mortgage and credit reports although we have been divorced now almost two years. Their actions have had halted my efforts to purchase a new home with a low-interest rate and has negatively impacted by credit report because my former wife has not kept up with the payments. In addition, although the company says that I am a mortgagee, it has refused to give me online access to the account and tax records.

Consumer complaint received 11-10-2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with Pacific Union Financial, LLC (OK).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I lost my job, so I immediately call Pacific Union Mortgage to ask for a payment deferral. It took them a month, but granted me 3 months with a payment of {$5.00} each month. When the first money payment of {$5.00} was due, I went online as I always had and they took off my online payment option. I sent them several emails asking them to fix this problem I finally gave up and sent in a check for {$15.00} ( 3 months ). After several months now, I call to find out why my credit score went from XXXX to XXXX, they said my payment deferral agreement is now void since my {$5.00} payment was late. I had to take a job in XXXX and almost was not able to even rent a house to go back to work because of them. I had to pull money from my XXXX to pay the extra deposit the landlord wanted. I called and told the woman on the phone to get a supervisor to call me to fix this problem since a late payment of {$5.00} is completely ridiculous to void my agreement. My payments were always on time since I obtained the loan with them. They almost want to destroy my credit when I was only unemployed for 5 months. I am a XXXX XXXX and have n't made less than {$XXXX} a year salary in years.
