Consumer complaint received 01/25/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Other personal consumer report) with EQUIFAX, INC. (VA).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information that should be on the report is missing

Complaint: I have asked Equifax several times to add the following to the report after the mistakenly removed it .... 

Please add these back. They were taken off in error and the creditor said they are STILL reporting it. It is on EQUIFAX now to add It back. Thank you! This is becoming very serious! 

XXXX XXXX XXXX - Monthly payment {$380.00} - Closed XXXX XXXX XXXX - Monthly payment {$550.00} - Currently active. 

XXXX says they are actively reporting it but Equifax deleted these two. Please add back just the two non-fraud GOOD STANDING accounts. 

They were removed by mistake, the removed a charged off one properly, but also removed these two which are in great standing. These two being removed hurt my score tremendously. Please add JUST THE TWO ABOVE back. 

I tried talking to the creditors and they said it is properly reporting, so I have to request Equifax adds them back.

Consumer complaint received 01-09-2018 about Vehicle loan or lease (Loan) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NV).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Problem with additional products or services purchased with the loan

Complaint: I was in a car accident on XXXX XXXX. 2017. The women who hit us, car insurance is XXXX XXXX, out of California. My car loan was with Wells Fargo Dealer Services. My car was totaled. The process of getting the loan pay off was delayed, according to XXXX XXXX by Wells Fargo. While I was waiting for the payoff, Wells Fargo added car payments, late fees, and other fees. When I checked with XXXX XXXX on the process, they told me it had been delayed, because Wells Fargo had not sent them the information they needed to complete the process. I called Wells Fargo, who told me they had just received the information from XXXX XXXX and was processing their request. When XXXX XXXX received the information, they submitted a payment. I had gap insurance, so after the insurance made their payment, the gap insurance made theres. About a week later I received a bill from Wells Fargo Dealer Services, telling me that I still owed them and that because I was late paying them they added on late fees and if I didnt pay they will send the bill to charge off. I contacted them and spoke with the office of vice president and explained what happen and that this bill should be paid in full. They contacted me back and stated the bill was correct and if I did not pay it in full they will send it to charge off. 
Well, they did send it to charge off and then I received another letter from them asking me for the debt, after the charge it off. The people I was trying to work with to resolve this matter, is the same people calling me after the charge off. When people constantly call you and harass you, you remember them. This loan should have been paid in full. When I contacted the gap insurance, they told me, they do not cover any additional fees added by Wells Fargo. This is just not fair and I would appreciate you looking into this matter for me. 
I have included the letters they sent me before and after the charge off.

Consumer complaint received 09-11-2015 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC. (CA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: To Whom It May Concern, I have been dealing with my mortgage servicer for the past three years or so in hopes of discovering who the actual holder or beneficiary of my mortgage loan. To date, I have not been successful. I do not believe that PennyMac has been truthful with me and I do not believe they have a legal or proper interest or claim in my property as they have alleged. Over the past month, I realized that my loan transaction was never consummated pursuant to the laws of California due to the fact that my lender, the true source of funds for my loan, was never disclosed to me. Because my loan was never consummated, I understood that I could exercise my rescission rights. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I faxed and mailed a letter of rescission to PennyMac. PennyMac acknowledged receipt of my letter but has failed to comply with the Federal Truth In Lending Act. Under the Act, if PennyMac wanted to challenge my rescission, they had to have filed a lawsuit within 20 days after receiving my letter of rescission. PennyMac received my letter of rescission on XXXX XXXX, 2015. The twenty day period has long passed and PennyMac has failed to either a file a complaint or comply with the Act. I am filing this complaint because they repeatedly choose to ignore and adhere to state and federal law and I believe they need to face some kind of disciplinary action and to comply with federal and state laws. If nothing is done, I believe they will continue to do what they want and not what the laws states they must do.

Consumer complaint received 10-12-2016 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with AES/PHEAA (IA).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint: I called student fed loan servicing to reinstate payments after I was no longer going to school So I could get them paid off faster. They had me fill out a form to wave my forbearance rights and I sent that in. My payments resumed for a month or two and then stopped again in XXXX. 

I called student fed loan servicing on XXXX XXXX to ask why my payments were not being deducted again. They told me I would need to submit a request again to get them reinstated but they would resume for XXXX. 

I called XXXX XXXX, XXXX to ask why it still shows that XXXX my loan will be in forbearance. She told me that it would be in forbearance until XXXX. She said she could submit another request to have it go into repayment but then she said my original paperwork that I filled out months ago no longer is valid because I submitted another request on XXXX XXXX for the same thing, to get my payments reinstated. During all of this I am incurring interest and not able to get FedLoanServicing to take payment. 
The notion that a representative had me put in a second request that voided the first request for the same thing is silly to me and I feel I am getting the run around. In addition I just realized the XXXX payments they did deduct in XXXX and XXXX were for interest only.

Consumer complaint received 03-10-2017 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA).
Issue: Improper use of my credit report
Sub-issue: Report improperly shared by CRC

Complaint: I am a identify theft victim and all my credit reports have a identify theft alert on them. My credit file also had an opt-out for promotional inquiries. This is evident from 2 of my other credit reports XXXX & XXXX. 

I recently requested for my credit report from all 3 agencies. I received my TransUnion report added XX/XX/2017 and was alarmed that they they opted me in for promotional inquiries without my consent. 

Yesterday XX/XX/2017, I called TransUnion to opt-out of promotional inquiries because i had opted-out earlier when implementing my fraud alert and was surprised by this violation. Over the 2 years I have been harassed by credit ( e.g., XXXX ) and other insurance offers but I had no idea why. 

When I called, they redirected my calls from one dep. to the other, transferring me to their Fraud Alert Dept. XXXX, assigning new File # XXXX, escalating to supervisors and giving me a run around just so I may not be able to opt-out of promotional inquiries. Instead of identifying me accurately and making an update they harassed me so that they can make money by selling my data against my will. 

As a result of their violation, them have sold my data and personal details, address info which makes me a target of credit offers and identify theft. Promotional inquiring companies may have created 3-party databases and selling my data on the free market without my consent. This is major risk to my credit file and data contained therein. 

The request was simple -- I needed to opt-out of Promotional Inquiries. But they went through extraordinary measures to prevent a fraudulent update of just of my opt-out request. I was n't impersonating anyone or asking for new credit. TransUnion was very opposed to my update and fought me and harassed me so that they can continue to sell my credit data. 

Their motive was simple. They make money on promotional inquiries even though these soft requests do not affect my credit score. But that is no reason to violate my privacy and my credit file without my consent. 

I left a message yesterday and they did not call back. Only around XXXX on XXXX XXXX did I get a call and a voicemail. Once again asking me to call them back.

Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting my free annual report

Complaint: I contacted Innovis Consumer Assistance on XXXX/XXXX/15 at XXXX/XXXX, PA XXXX Calling the XXXX number above.

Innovis should be barred from doing business UNTIL they can assure the privacy of personal information!!!

Consumer complaint received 06/24/2016 about Debt collection (Credit card) with ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (TX).
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: Midland Funding took over my charge off a XXXX XXXX XXXX and has since upped what I owe by over {$3000.00}. How am I supposed to make good on a past debt when the collection company uses a tactic such as this. How can Midland Funding charge me additional fees and interest when I never contracted with them, nor have I ever spoken with this Company. This is predatory and unfair to myself, the consumer, when I am trying to work out paying this debt back. I am beside myself at what to do at this point.

Consumer complaint received 12-02-2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with U.S. BANCORP (AR).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: I recently opened an account with U.S. Bank here in XXXX, Arkansas. Since the opening of my account which has federal funds directly deposited monthly, I have observed the numerous overdraft charges. These fees ' have been compromised by banking errors. As it is known that banks can and will commit fraud by extracting funds from consumers accounts. Sometime these actions are noticed sometimes not. Thankfully, I am a type of person that pay close attention to all transactions that occur on my account. With this information my hope is that a member of C.F.P.B. will contact this bank namely ( U.S.Bank ) open an investigation to determine that fraud and unlawful activity has been noticed. Upon the completion of the investigation the funds will be refunded and I may move forward with perhaps a new financial institution. With hopes of obtaining more satisfying results.

Consumer complaint received 09/26/2016 about Bank account or service (Other bank product/service) with EARLY WARNING SERVICES, LLC (NM).
Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money

Complaint: Numerous banks and credit unions offer peer-to-peer interbank payments. My credit union uses an intermediary that operates under the trademark " XXXX '', while a number of the largest banks use ( and apparently own ) a intermediary called clearXchange. In spite of the fact that the transfer is an ACH transaction, the payment takes 3-5 *business* days. Of course, the banks withdraw the money from the pay-from account on the first day of the period, finally paying on the last. This is an all-electronic transaction and there is no reason for it to take more than 24 hours ( if that ). Furthermore, since the funds are verified and debited at the initiation of the transaction, there is no valid reason to put a hold on the deposit at the receiving account. 
These slow-rolling tactics appear to be common across all providers of this service. The only reason for the slow transfer is to take advantage of the float. These sorts of practices should be banned!

Consumer complaint received 02/20/2017 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint: I have been contacted multiple times by a collection agency that goes by XXXX separate names ; XXXX XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX XXXX. They are trying to collect on a medical debt that is a result of identity theft. I never went to that hospital in XXXX. The hospital has different addresses on file that I 've never lived. I 've contacted them they said to contact the collection agency then proceeded to give me the wrong information. I 've sent a request for removal from y report over to this company. Nothing has happened, and I feel very vulnerable because they wo n't remove it and they must be paying the credit bureaus to keep on no matter what happens. How can they overpay to maintain the agencies from deleting an account? I think it 's because I 'm XXXX and they might think I 'm here illegally ; I swear I '' m a US Citizen. Attached are my letters my XXXX advisor told me to fill out and have sent. The credit bureaus have done an ok job at communication, but it 's still on my credit report. I 've been trying to get this taken care of now because I 'm tiring to get a place to live and buy. The loan officer said I could n't get the loan because the collection is in dispute and I would have to call and admits I do n't want to challenge it.. which I refuse to do because it 's not mine. The bureaus said they verified everything with the source ... How? I 'm needing help handle this because I have nowhere else other than these government places and XXXX rights place which they told me to record calls and track stuff which I have. Thank you for your time XXXX XXXX
