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

Complaint: My information, my wife 's information, and my daughters information all were breached by cyberhacker. i waited on hold 4 different times for a representative, more than 15 minutes each time and then they simply brought on a recorded line that told me to try later and disconnected me.
Why does the credit reporting agency even have my drivers license information? I find this to be totally unacceptable. I have no control over companies providing Equifax with my information nor do i have any control over Equifax diligently protecting the information.
In addition, all burden is on me to figure out if I was impacted when they simply could have mailed me a notice. They have known about the breach for over a month now. This is an area that I would expect my Government to be able to control and one that I expect my tax dollars to be used to defend my personal information.

Consumer complaint received 07/27/2016 about Payday loan () with Green Trust Cash, LLC (PA).
Issue: Payment to acct not credited

Complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/2016, I called Greentrust to schedule a payment to be taken out on XXXX/XXXX/2016. This would have paid the loan off. On XXXX/XXXX/2016 Greentrust did not take the payment out. I called the company. 

I spoke with XXXX who apologized and offer to take a payment over the phone to pay the account off. She told me the account balance would be {$45.00} to pay off the account. She was giving me a credit for the poor service. 
I provided her my card information of which she ask for twice. I received two separate emails confirming that a {$50.00} dollar payment was processed with transaction id XXXX and another charge of XXXX was charged to my account the transaction id number for this payment is XXXX. In addition, my bank shows a pending payment of {$55.00} on the account. I talked with XXXX who said when the company processes payments they use an international system and this may result in charging me extra fees. XXXX seemed not bothered by the fact that the representative ( XXXX ) never disclosed that there are fees before taking the payment. XXXX did not seem bothered by the fact that I have XXXX receipts totaling {$90.00} that may be taken out of my account on XXXX/XXXX/2016. She gave no indication that she would cancel the payments and refuse to do so because she could not verify that bank debited my bank account for a reduced payment for poor service. The staff would rather argue semantics than dear with the fact that there is a payment of {$55.00} pending on my account and two scheduled payments of {$45.00} and {$50.00} to be debited to my account as well. I would like the correct payment taken out. The XXXX separate transactions cancelled as the debt is paid in full and the organization held accountable for not disclosing fees associated with making credit card payments to the account. I want these fees refunded as well.

Consumer complaint received 02-06-2017 about Credit card () with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (MI).
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint: Capital One has not shut down my card after I called and let them know there was something going on with charges. That was at XXXX and then they said they would investigate while I paid XXXX a month to keep our credit repaired. Then, I stopped that about two months ago and said no. I kept asking when the investigation was done and they did absolutely nothing to stop it. My kids had a lunch program circulating on the card which I do owe for, but after this long, I do n't know what is what at this point. But, the agent at Capital One a gentlemen I have his name, said, " Yes, I see where you asked to report fraud ''. This company needs investigating, just go and look online it 's multiple clients having similar problems. I also went through in the beginning transactions with an agent to determine what was going on. I 'm a XXXX, not an XXXX. They need to take responsibility. The card is up to XXXX and even with repeatedly paying they just kept raising the amount because of over limit. What a raquet. I will be writing XXXX Trump to see if there is something that can be done by the white house and credit card railroading companies. This is not fair. They actually owe me money as agreed upon because there was no investigation from the first time I called them and the card was allowed to keep on going after several attempts to stop it.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: I received a notice from Convergent regarding a debt in the amount of {$490.00} that was charge-off in XX/XX/2003 ( 13 years ago ).

Consumer complaint received 02/24/2018 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with BB&T CORPORATION (FL).
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Complaint: My checking account became overdrawn due to an error on my part. I understood that I would get charged a fee, which I was for {$36.00}. No issue there. But the problem occurred when I continued to get charged {$36.00} for the same item. I was originally charged {$36.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. Charged again on XX/XX/XXXX. Again on XX/XX/XXXX. And again on XX/XX/XXXX. When I called the bank ( BB & T ) I was told that the same item had been submitted on four separate occasions and that I would get charged a fee every time it was submitted. Keep in mind, I have no control over how many times the item gets submitted. BB & T would not credit back any of the fees for this item, so I ended up paying {$140.00} in fees for an item that totaled {$110.00}. Emailed BB & T on multiple occasions and the answer was always the same, they will charge a fee every time it is submitted. This is really unfair to the consumer, as the consumer has no control over it. Yes, I did make the initial error, but after that it was out of my control and BB & T just kept ripping me off. Please help.

Consumer complaint received 09-01-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with AMERISAVE MORTGAGE CORPORATION (NM).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: I was n't able to close on my mortgage on my first attempt due to circumstances well beyond my control. The first appraisal that I received was on the low end but gave me what I needed. By the way I would not sell my house for that amount. Because of the delay, the appraisal was not able to be used, so I had to pay another {$500.00}, or rather be gouged for another appraisal. The first appraisal was less than 120 days old. The second appraisal came in at XXXX percent less with comps that were not even close to the quality, style, and square footage of my house, and the person spent about 10 minutes at my house tops. I did not realize that XXXX was an affiliate of Amerisave, and now I feel duped into having to pay for another appraisal.

Consumer complaint received 05/19/2015 about Credit card () with UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (NY).
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint: A letter sent to USAA Federal Savings Bank in XXXX XXXX, TX in XXXX 2014 was never responded to. Several bankers acknowledged receipt of the letter. After speaking to USAA, the letter was acknowledged as received and that they were required to respond. Numerous calls ( despite acknowledging receipt of the letter ) yielded no response.

To date no response has been received despite that this consumer is held bound to the user agreement if I do n't state otherwise. The purpose of the letter showed duplicate charges, late fees and fraudulent charges from the past not completely reversed. And some other issues concerning the users credit report.

Consumer complaint received 05-02-2016 about Debt collection (Credit card) with DISCOVER BANK (PA).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: I 'm a XXXX year old single mother. On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I called my bank at XXXX XXXX to check on my account balance. I have a checking account at XXXX that my mother 's name is attached to. Her name is only a secondary on the account, if anything were to happen to me. She has never once in all the years that I have had this account had any of her checks deposited or taken money out, she does n't even have a card to the account. When I called for my account balance it stated that is was frozen with an overdrawn balance of {$15000.00} due to my mother having debt with Discover Bank. I have over {$6000.00} saved in that account for my son and myself and Discover Bank said because my mother 's name and social security number are attached to my account that they can take all of my money and not leave my son or myself with {$1.00}. All of my {$6000.00} are still in my account but it is untouchable until XXXX XXXX decides if they will release my money to Discover Bank to cover my mothers debt. My mother owes {$21000.00} to Discover Bank and they filed a law suit using XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as legal representation. I can 100 % prove that all money being deposited in that account is mine and has nothing to do with her.

Consumer complaint received 07-01-2015 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (CT).
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity protection
Sub-issue: Account terms and changes

Complaint: Yesterday I received a letter from a mortgage company informing me that my credit history had too many " delinquencies '' and othe negative items that lowered my credit. All XXXX credit agencies supposedly reported these issues. Last night I filed a complaint about XXXX. Tonight my it 's Experian.I had received my free report from them a few months ago and except for XXXX incorrect address, it was good and accurate. I asked to see my report again to find out what is going on with my credit, and the website charged {$1.00} to get a report. Now I received an e-mail from them " congratulating '' me on joining their " credit protection '' service and that after 7 days, if I did n't opt out, I would owe them {$29.00} a month! 
Here is a copy of my response : To : Customer Care & lt ; XXXXXXXXXXXX & gt ; Dear Experian, I did not order this credit tracking product and I want to cancel it NOW. Your program is misleading. It did not clearly state that by sending you {$1.00}, I would be subject to a $ XXXX monthly fee in 7 days. Your " opt out '' in seven days is hardly enough time for the poor unfortunate who does n't catch that clause in time. I am reporting you to the US Consumer Protection Bureau. 

- XXXX XXXXPS : I do not appreciate your falsifying my credit report with damaging information that bears no resemblance to the same credit history that you sent me just a few months ago.
