Consumer complaint received 03-11-2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Radius Global Solutions LLC (NC).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a letter to XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a charged off credit card account that I had with them. I asked them to verify the debt and stated that upon verification I would be happy to settle the account if in fact the status and amount owed were correct. They never verified the account. Instead I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX offering a settlement of the account for {$270.00} of the supposed {$410.00} owed. At the time I did not take the offer because XXXX XXXX never verified the accounts validity. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a phone call at my parents house ( still not sure how they got their number as I never provided it but am a XXXX ) stating that they wanted payment of {$330.00} to resolve the account right then. I asked if I paid this amount would they delete the account from my credit report and they stated no but that it would update as settled to the credit bureaus. I took them up on the offer because I wanted to be done with this company and my wife and I are trying to improve credit scores to build a house. Upon checking my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX they did update the information however it still shows as charged off and reflects a balance still of {$83.00}.

Consumer complaint received 10-09-2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with QUICKEN LOANS, INC. (NY).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: Quicken Loans took {$500.00} from my checking account as a " Loan Fee '' and said that it would be returned once the loan was approved. They also told me that my union, XXXX, would give me a {$500.00} gift card for applying for this refinance mortgage. XXXX has no knowlege of such an offer. NOW I 'm told that the {$500.00} was a fee to be used for appraisal ( when this XXXX XXXX assured me that Quicken Loans did not charge for appraisals AND I 'd get a {$500.00} gift card from XXXX ). I was told by customer service that the appraisal and other fees were spelled out in some document I signed. This may be but XXXX XXXX stated otherwise. IF Quicken Loans TOOK {$500.00} a day from everyone served and only approved XXXX of the applicants, I 'd say this was one XXXX scam! My credit score was above XXXX at the time of the loan request. JUSTICE PLEASE!

Consumer complaint received 04/29/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (Store credit card) with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (FL).
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint: I have a credit card with the company with a credit line of {$700.00}. I went onto their website and made a purchase of {$580.00} on Tuesday   XXXX    . I went into the store today  X/XX/17    to return {$340.00} worth of the online purchase due to ill fitting clothing. I then went to try on clothes and shop in store for better fitting clothes. I went to the check out counter with my purchase and was told I had to to call the customer service number but not why. With a line of people behind me I had to call the customer service number. The first representative advised me that I did not have any available credit to make my purchase and that I was in fact over my limit. I advised her that I had a credit line of {$700.00} and made a purchase of {$580.00} and a return of {$340.00} ; therefore, I should have {$450.00} available. She informed me that my return today of {$340.00} would not credit my account until the clothes made it back to the online warehouse. That is bad enough. I can understand if the credit takes a few days to post, but if the store has the clothes they should not have to wait to credit me until the clothes physically make it back to the warehouse when the company is possession of the clothes! My real gripe though is that even without the return I should have had {$110.00} in available credit. The lady argued this point with me as I tried to get her to understand basic math. She then transferred me to a another representative who researched my account and let me know that while she agreed that yes I should have an available credit of {$110.00} I do n't have any available credit and I 'm showing as over my credit limit. I asked how this could possibly be. She tells me that even though she can see the original {$580.00} hard posted to my account that there is still a {$580.00} authorization holding funds on my account that she can not manually release, so my account reads as having {$1100.00} charged to it. This makes absolutely no sense. I could have spent {$700.00} even that day online, but I did n't. Due to their weird practices of hard posting and having the authorization still there  four  days after my purchase means I could not use {$110.00} worth of credit that I should have had available to me. I wasted three hours of my time in that store trying on clothes and dealing with the phone call in line in front of other patrons only to walk away empty handed. I also missed out on a store-wide sale today that I wo n't be able to take advantage of when my account finally balances out. This is beyond frustrating. When all credits post to my account and the authorization falls off I think I might just close the account and never shop there again.

Consumer complaint received 02/14/2018 about Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service (Virtual currency) with Coinbase, Inc. (MD).
Issue: Other service problem

Complaint: On XX/XX/2018 Coinbase.com locked my account with no warning and has not provided any service in helping me access my funds. I have taken a serious financial loss as a result of their ( non ) actions. I received an automated email that the name on my bank account does not match the name on my driver 's license, which is simply not true. I've tried upwards of 5 times to contact Coinbase and have this issue resolved but I can't even get a response to an email from them. Phone representatives refuse to provide an estimate of how long it will take them to fix my problem. Again, this is a 30 second fix to verify that my name on my bank account matches the ID I have provided them. I'm taking serious financial loss from their lack of any support at all, and I desperately need your help. Thank you.

Consumer complaint received 03/31/2017 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (GA).
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't decrease my monthly payments

Complaint: Navient constantly calls me at work. They spoke to my former employer that works for the same organization I still work for, and my career may now be unstable because of this. They hit my credit so hard that there is no way to refinance through another company. I am a XXXX who is still in the service and they have affected my life so much that I am unable to buy a house for my sons as a single mother and I worked two jobs until a few months ago. They offered me that I could make a higher payment for 120 on time payments if I wanted to be forgiven for my student loans. I have ten years XXXX federal service and 18 years in the military. Nothing matters to the other person on the phone. The calls are relentless. They hound until you just go get a second job because you ca n't survive it. 18 years in the service, and their employees are to be avoided before a XXXX. I ca n't afford an attorney or I would get one. I ca n't file bankruptcy or I will lose my job. Most states wo n't include student loans in a bankruptcy in any case.

Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Used obscene/profane/abusive language

Complaint: Between XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, I received several phone calls from a CRA agent named XXXX, who consistently left messages in a threatening tone ( " You must respond by XXXX time or further legal action/litigation will be taken '' ). This was in reference to a {$180.00} medical debt. When I finally spoke with the agent by telephone after XXXX last threatening voice message, he made abusive comments and refused to respond to my written debt validation request. He referred to it as a " meaningless stalling tactic '', accused me of lying and skirting my responsibility for the debt. When I mentioned getting my attorney involved, the collection agent snapped that he had marked the account as a " refusal to pay '' and hung up the phone on me.

Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

Complaint: Transunion will not do a proper investigation. They continue to say the the accounts were verified. Which is a lie! I have no account with this company nor have I ever signed any contract to do business with them. They have neither lent me anything nor have they provided services to me for which I requested. They are under an order to Cease and Desist and accordingly, this must be removed from my credit report immediately.

Consumer complaint received 09/13/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (FL).
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint: I was part of the Equifax credit information hack. It is unacceptable that I have to PAY to freeze my credit when I did n't consent to my information being stored by Equifax, XXXX, or XXXX in the first place. I am writing to demand that credit freezes and unfreezes be made free for individuals on which these credit companies store information. These companies already collect and sell our data, in an industry where their services are required. I ( nor any other consumer ) should be required to pay these companies to protect my information when, through their own errors, they lose the information they have been collecting without my consent anyway.

Consumer complaint received 10/27/2015 about Mortgage (Home equity loan or line of credit) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I received a letter From Bank of AMerica XX/XX/XXXX that my heloc on my condo rental property was going to reset on XX/XX/XXXX. I called immediately to discuss my options. I am currently paying interest only and now they want to convert to a regular mortgage at {$700.00} more a month then I am currently paying. I am unable to pay this so I asked for a modification. I was told it was too soon to start the process. I kept calling and XX/XX/XXXX I was told that I could not do anything more than XXXX days in advance. I waited the XXXX days and called back to start the process. I am upside down between the value of the property and the XXXX mortgage and the equity loan. I was told I would have to apply for a regular mortgage and get a denial letter. I went to XXXX mortgage brokers and was told there are no programs for me and they would not issue a denial letter. I had Bank of America mortgage dept talk to the Bank of America modification department and they told my cust serv rep XXXX XXXX that it was nonsense and they would send them the denial letter. When I called back they told me they had no record of speaking to their own mortgage department.. I repeatedly had issue with this customer service rep. I asked for a supervisor and was told I could n't speak to one. I asked for a different rep and was told I could n't have one. I kept calling back to check on the status and I was told each phone call that some item was missing. I asked them to tell me everything they need and I would send it to them. I finally had to write a letter explaining that all my troubles and that I wanted this XXXX XXXX removed from my account. I received a call from someone else and they told me they wanted more information. I finally got to the bottom of this and they said they had all the info they needed and my information was in underwriting. That was XX/XX/XXXX. It took from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX to get this far. I have called back twice to check on the status and was told they are still reviewing it. It is supposed to reset on XX/XX/XXXX. I am out of time. I do not want to have to default on this loan to get someone to help me. I was hit 3 months ago with a {$8500.00} assessment that also has to be paid. I do n't know what else to do. At this point if I can not get any modification or answers I will have no choice but to default.

Consumer complaint received 08/16/2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with I.C. System, Inc. (DC).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: From roughly XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXXI had internet service with XXXX XXXX in XXXX, MA. Before installation, I was offered a promotion - I could pay up front for the cost of the equipment in order to avoid monthly rental fees and in exchange I would be eligible for a rebate for the cost a certain number of days later ( I believe it was 60-90 days ). I accepted the promotion, paid upfront, and later received said rebate ( see attachment ). During the entire year of service, all bills were paid on time. In XX/XX/XXXX, when I called to cancel service they charged me for my final bill, I paid the bill in full, and closed my account. Now, more than a year later, I am being contacted by a debt collection agency for equipment fees that I do not owe and debt that I am not responsible for.
