Consumer complaint received 04/15/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (LA).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: I have sent multiple disputes to Transunion, requesting they validate and verify accounts within my credit file. I sent a dispute on XX/XX/2018 requesting validation and verification persuant to the Fair Credit Report Act Federal Law 15 U.S.C. 1681. This law states that my credit file must contain 100 percent accurate information. There is no way to tell if the information within my file is accurate if I am not given evidence or verification of the accounts when requested. Sending a copy of an itemized bill IS NOT verification of a personal debt. Verification must be a contractual agreement between myself and the creditor furnishing the information to my credit file. Transunion repeatedly ignores federal law and has never provided me with such evidence of the validation or verification of the debts I have requested.

Consumer complaint received 11/29/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (CO).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: We have a mortgage with Ocwen, XXXX, FL XXXXXXXXThe property is at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXXAccount number XXXXIn XXXX 2011 we found that we could no longer afford the house. Because we both have bad health our son asked us to move closer to him, XXXX, XXXXWe put the house on the market with XXXX XXXX, at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. The house was being sold as a short sale. XXXX XXXX found an interested buyer with cash. The buyer agreed to all of the terms Ocwen requested. Ocwen proceeded to drag their feet and after many weeks went by the buyer went elsewhere. 
After that point Ocwen told me that I had to have everything removed from the house, appliances, window treatments, everything down to the bare shell. I told them we could not afford the house and they should go ahead and foreclose, an empty house was not going to sell. When the buyer walked away so did our realtor, he said he could not deal with Ocwen anymore. 
Since that time Ocwen has continued to call us numerous times a week, starting at XXXX and continuing until XXXX. 
Every week we get numerous letters from them. They say we 're in foreclosure but continue to harass us. With continuing medical problems that both my husband and I have we ca n't stand the constant calls. We find it difficult to understand what they are saying and asked them not to call, just go ahead and foreclose. After that last conversation I had with them I have received a half a dozen phone calls in one week and numerous pieces of mail. Some of the mail says that I requested it, which is not true. This company ignored a buyer with cash, the only offer to buy on this house. Now they hound us daily. 
If you can do anything to resolve this matter it would be greatly appreciated. If the house had gone through the short sale we would have received approximately {$2000.00}. I think that 's why Ocwen did not accept that sale. Then telling me everything had to be removed from the house, which I did. But I 've spoken with other people and they say they 've never heard of such a thing. 
The price of the house keeps going up with them. A once {$35000.00} house they now want $ XXXXXXXXI think they are crooks, there was absolutely no reason for them to turn away from the cash that was offered, which was an amount they had set. 
They keep saying it 's in foreclosure but they 're doing nothing but harass us. 
Please help us.

Consumer complaint received 04-10-2017 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (CO).
Issue: Taking out the loan or lease

Complaint: My daughter goes to school at XXXX in XXXX, HI ; she is XXXX years old. She wanted to buy a car so I told her I would co-sign on a loan for her. I received and filed out a credit application form from Pentagon Federal Credit Union ( PENFED ). Some time later I learned from her that she had gone in to the dealer and signed the load papers and left with the car. They had not sent the promissory note to me to sign. I was, in fact, not going to sign the load until we negotiated the price down. I believe she paid about {$1500.00} to much for the car. I talked to one XXXX XXXX ( spelling? ) XXXX XXXX XXXX at PENFED and he told me he found the promissory note and he could see my daughters signature and where I was supposed to sign it was blank. I then contacted XXXX and their records indicate that I am on the loan with PENFED as sole owner of the loan. I also filled a dispute with them. Basically it seems to me that I am an owner of a loan that I did not sign for. This seems like fraud to me.

Consumer complaint received 04/17/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (OH).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint: NOTE : This is a CHALLENGE as I am NOT DISPUTING. 
I am always checking for mandatory compliance and am fully aware of the CFPBs enforcement capabilities with furnishers who are non-compliant with the Law, specifically when it is injurious to a consumer. I am requesting a MANDATED COMPLIANT Metro 2 format reporting to be presented with a CERTIFICATE of COMPLIANCE demonstrating that the accounts are entirely true, accurate, complete, timely, of documented ownership, of undoubted responsibility, and documented through testimonial through that certificate of COMPLIANCE making undeniable lawful standing of the claim. 
Per Law any deficient or substantial and evident matters of facts would be unethically reported and even illegally reported based on several laws that the CFPB has jurisdiction over. With that said, to retain such injurious, inaccurate, non-compliant and harmful items is an infraction to these laws as per mandated compliance. 
The items attached are non-compliant as per the FCRA and CROA requirements!

Consumer complaint received 10/17/2017 about Student loan (Private student loan) with HEARTLAND PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC (CA).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with the fees charged

Complaint: ECSI charges a fee for individual payments directly removed from a bank account, credit or debt card payments. The only service fee free payment option is to pay by mailing in a check or by setting up automatically with drawn payments. This is insane. ECSI is making making the process of paying my loans incredibly difficult to make an extra {$4.00} each time I pay my loan. 

No other student loan lender I am currently dealing with charges this type of fee. As a person with large amounts of student debt every dollar matters and this just seems like an extra slap in the face for taking out a private loan.

Consumer complaint received 07-10-2016 about Credit card () with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (OR).
Issue: Credit determination

Complaint: I have a credit card with Chase with a limit of {$65000.00}. I have not been late on a payment and have had a credit score consistently over XXXX. I pay my credit card in full every month. I recently came over my limit to {$85000.00}. I went to lease a car and found that my credit score dropped significantly. The car dealer reviewed my credit report and showed me how it was compromised as a result of exceeding my {$65000.00} credit limit. When I called Chase they stated that because I was a preferred customer they extended the extra credit to me. Unfortunately in the process of doing so, because I did n't pay the credit card down immediately, they reported this to the credit report agencies. The credit card company should have either 1 ) never approved that additional purchase over my credit limit or 2 ) notified me of this happening and the potential effect it could have on my credit score prior to reporting this to the credit report agencies.
