Consumer complaint received 03/16/2016 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (TX).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: I initiated a dispute with Equifax last year to challenge some inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report. At the same time I contacted the creditors in question per my right under the FCRA. I have received no response from the creditors and the credit bureau has stated that they verified the accuracy. I have requested in XXXX separate letters the " verification of procedures '' on how they contacted and verified these accounts in question. They have failed to provide this to me in writing. The issue I 'm having is that if the creditor supposedly verified with the credit bureau then why did they not verify with me, the alleged debtor. 

Equifax has failed to comply with the federal laws in place to protect consumers from inaccurate or false reporting. This lack of due process and disregard for the federal mandate has placed a burden on my credit report and my family 's future. 

Please assist because I have no other way to turn, my next option is to hire a civil attorney.

Consumer complaint received 06/30/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with Ditech Financial LLC (CA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I received a call on my phone from phone number ( XXXX ) XXXX, asking for my son, by name, from a guy identifying himself as " XXXX XXXX '' and that he was a representative in the " Mortgage Loan Department '' of XXXX XXXX Bank. I asked him what the call was about and he said he wanted to talk to my son about a problem with his mortgage at, and he identified my home address. My son is not now, nor has he ever been, on either title or the loan on my home. My son is a XXXX yr old full time college student and XXXX XXXX. I advised him that my son was " not home '' but that i might be able to help him as I am a co-mortgagor on the property. He apologized for not being able to see any of my information in his " records '' but wanted my email address so that he could send me the " legal email '' he needed to send me before he could talk to me. I asked what was the issue he needed to talk about and he said that the house was in " serious jeopardy '' due to all of the " back taxes and insurance that has n't been paid. '' At this point I told him ( in very colorful language ) that I was n't aware of any of that but that I was aware of the fact that he was nothing more than a fraud. He responded that I was being recorded and I advised him that I was very glad of that so whoever was recording would have a record of just what a XXXX XXXX he was. He responded in kind and promptly hung up. Out of curiosity, I re-dialed the number that had just called me and was semi-surprised to hear, " Thank You for calling DiTech Mortgage. '' I 'm not sure exactly what this XXXX was calling about and phishing for, but I do know it was nothing legal.

Consumer complaint received 11/24/2017 about Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service (Mobile or digital wallet) with PAYPAL HOLDINGS INC. (NY).
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint: Here is what happened : 1. On XX/XX/XXXX I put a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Unlocked smartphone up for sale on XXXX with no returns accepted. Proof : XXXX XXXX XXXX 2. OnXX/XX/XXXX, a XXXX XXXX in California purchased the device for {$580.00} + {$12.00} shipping and she paid through PayPal. 

3. I shipped out the device within the next couple of days, and on XX/XX/XXXX the buyer confirmed that she received the device in perfect working order and that my service was perfect. However, she also requested to return the device. Proof : XXXX XXXX XXXX 4. In accordance with XXXX 's terms of service, I rightfully declined the return. 

5. The buyer ( XXXX XXXX ) proceeded to dispute the payment ( {$580.00} + {$12.00} shipping ) with her financial institution. 

6. PayPal contacted me regarding the dispute, and I sent them the proof that I have supplied you showing that the item was posted for sale with no returns accepted, and that the buyer acknowledged receiving the device. 

7. About a week or two later I got a notification that the buyer 's financial institution decided in her favor, and they reversed the charge without requiring her to contact me or ship back the phone or send me the money in another way. 

8. PayPal has now locked my account and is asking for the {$590.00} ( {$580.00} + {$12.00} shipping ) back from me, even though I do not have the phone. 

9. I have contacted XXXX and PayPal many many times since then, requesting their help, but XXXX just tells me to talk to PayPal, and PayPal just tells me to talk to XXXX or the buyer directly, and that they can not give me the name of the buyer 's financial institution. 

10. I contacted XXXX XXXX directly per PayPal 's suggestion, we had 1 discussion about this issue over the phone, she claimed she was not aware that the dispute was decided in her favor, and said she would have to catch up on email and get back to me. 

11. Since our first contact over the phone, XXXX XXXX has blocked my phone number it seems and is not replying to my emails. 

12. It appears she is trying to commit fraud and scam me out of the phone that I sold her and the money. PayPal and XXXX have done nothing to help in the situation and are completely denying any responsibility to aide in resolving the manner.

Consumer complaint received 01/20/2017 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (MA).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint: First, I was paying off a loan under my mother 's name via direct debit from my bank account, and Navient picked up the loan mid-way through the repayment term. They not only stopped the payment from coming out without letting me know, but did n't contact me or my mother until over {$200.00} was accrued past due. I called multiple times and was either cut off during transfer or continually transferred to the incorrect department. Has since been resolved, but SUCH a hassle. 

Also, I had XXXX loans paid off upon purchasing my new home ( money gained from sale of old home was used to pay off XXXX private loans ). I was awarded a refund check for amounts overpaid but I am pretty sure I should have received more and never really got a good explanation as to why I was refunded such a small amount. On top of that, it has been over a calendar month since the refund check was " issued '' and I still have not received it. Now, I have to have them cancel the original check, send in a request for a new one ( 10 business days ) and wait for them to re-send the new check ( another 8-10 business days ). This is not a customer-friendly way to run a business that deals with SIGNIFICANT amounts of peoples 's hard earned money. 

I do n't 100 % understand how these loans work, but I know my interest rates ... and from looking at my monthly payments and how LITTLE actually comes off of the principal balance, there HAS to be something fishy going on there. 

Finally, I received my tax documents and for a year 's worth of student loan payments, ( mind you, balance was over {$19000.00} most of the year ), I could only claim {$45.00} in interest? That does n't seem right.

Consumer complaint received 04-08-2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NY).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: I used to be employed by BoA for 17 years when my job was eliminated in XXXX XXXX. Around XXXX or XXXX I walked into the BoA branch at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX NY XXXX and closed XXXX checking accounts and XXXX savings accounts as I was no longer going to get my free employee rate on them. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I was informed they force closed XXXX of these checking accounts after waiving {$75.00} in fees and when I called to find out how they reopened an account I already closed I was informed I also currently owe {$25.00} and {$56.00} for XXXX other savings accounts that were closed that day. I was informed by XXXX at XXXX he could give me no info on why they accts were still open and I should go back to the branch I originally went to in order to fix this issue. I do not feel I should have to waste my time to walk into a branch when I should be able to fix this issue over the phone and I also do not have any faith that the branch that could not get this correct in the first place will fix the issue the 2nd time around. I already closed these accounts over 2 years ago and do not see why I should have to close them again because BoA can not do their jobs. I know these accounts were originally closed as I still have an IRA and a credit card with BoA and saw the accounts were closed and removed from my online banking about a week after I went into the branch in XXXX to close them. I feel that BoA is illegally opening accounts back up and charging fees on them and I need to have this issue rectified. Unfortunately, I do not have any of the information anymore regarding the closed accounts as that is not something I felt the need to keep for over 2 years. I guess I did not assume closing a checking and a couple savings accounts would be such a difficult thing to do.

Consumer complaint received 02/26/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NC).
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint: When trying to temporarily remove a credit freeze on my experian account, the online access would not work. After many frustrating attempts, I finally figured out that I had to turn off my VPN protection. No where in their documentation did they state that you could not connect to their site thru a VPN. So I can't protect my connection that I send my SS # over with a VPN, nice. Second problem, the phone number they list to call to get assistance only goes to a phone tree with very limited options, none of which addresses the temporary removal of a credit freeze. I did find a phone number in a unrelated manner that connected me with their customer service group over in XXXX ... ..after an hour and 58 minute wait. This is really unacceptable for a agency with such power to be unaccountable and unreachable.
