Consumer complaint received 03-10-2017 about Payday loan () with Mobiloans, LLC (OK).
Issue: Charged fees or interest I didn't expect

Complaint: I requested a loan for {$1000.00} from mobiloans My payments are all similar. Auto draft of {$150.00} and {$45.00} applied to loan balance {$100.00} applied to advance/fees. So the two payments equivalent to {$300.00} that come out each each month only {$90.00} of that goes to my account balance. I have a few times had to request funds because I did n't realize it would be twice a month but was sure I had gotten myself in a mess and would just have to keep trying to get through it until I got it paid off. I went through all of my statements and I have paid {$4700.00} to them since XXXX2015. My total fees charged total in {$2400.00} and my current balance is {$1000.00} with a payment due of {$260.00} and {$170.00} of that is fees. I feel this debt has been more than enough taken care of. I was advised by several people to close my bank account and try to find relief of this debt. I do n't feel I owe this company anymore money they have received back what they loaned to me and then some.

Consumer complaint received 11/29/2016 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with SANTANDER CONSUMER USA HOLDINGS INC. (MD).
Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Complaint: I have an issue with which I would like to request some assistance. Approximately 10 years ago at the request of my parents, I co-signed for a van with my dad. Both of my parents had bad credit at the time and they asked me to co-sign with them so they could get the van. We did n't have a vehicle at the time as our old one had many mechanical issues. My dad worked and we needed one to get around. I was XXXX when I made this choice. I just did it and figured that it would be the last time that it would ever come up again. Approximately 4 years ago, the car was repossessed. This did n't mean anything to me because I was n't the one handling the van, any of the payments, or anything else that concerned it. We used a loan company called Santander Consumer USA. My father passed away a little over a year ago. His name is the only one besides mine on the contract for the van. I received a phone call from a debt collection agency concerning the van and some money that was due on it. I was told that I was now the one responsible for the remaining balance due, which is almost {$3000.00}. I ca n't afford this. I find it a little strange that there is a lawsuit against me after my dad died. There was plenty of time to reach out to my dad to resolve this while he was still alive. I am due in court in XXXX. At this time, I will have a judgement placed against me for the amount mentioned above. This will mean that I will end up having my wages garnished. My finances are already really tight and this would make things extremely hard for me. I have court papers and all documentation if that is needed for anyone to be able to assist me. I would really appreciate some guidance or help as far as what can possibly be done to help me.

Consumer complaint received 11/17/2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with AFNI INC. (GA).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint: I cancelled my service with XXXX XXXX XXXX because I was moving, and had my internet, phone services bundled with another company. Payment to XXXX prior to cancellation was through bank drafts. XXXX continued to draft after cancellation. The bank told me the only way to get my money back from the draft was to file a fraud report with them, which I did. The bank repaid the money taken out of my account. 

XXXX continued to try to collect. I wrote a letter after threats from them. XXXX sold the account to some other collection agency, who called constantly to collect, even offering to reduce the amount I owed. Wrote letters to that collection agency. Another company continued to call for a while, each time I explained the circumstances. 

However I see there is a {$50.00} unpaid amount on my credit report from some collection agency. 

Also, the lien from XXXX County was placed in error, and has since been removed. 

I have never lived in XXXX, N.C. Rental property of my father 's, and I had utilities activated in my name for repairs to sell.

Consumer complaint received 11/18/2016 about Credit card () with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (DE).
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint: I wished to try XXXX product so I used my master card and charged {$6.00} and received a small jar of anti-wrinkle cream instead of lash cream. There was no contact info on anything. On XXXX/XXXX/16 I received an e-invoice from XXXX stating I owed them {$86.00}. I immediately called Bank of America Mastercard and asked if a charge from XXXX was on my bill, the person said no. I explained the situation and was told I could not stop the charge but once the charge was made I could dispute it. XXXX charged my account twice for a product I did not want. I call the Bank and asked that no charges be put on my account for 3 months and was told by XXXX of Arkansas that he could not block the card and to just dispute the charges. I called back and got XXXX from Virginia who cancelled the cards and sent me a new card. I complained to the Bank and at first they took the charges off but after receiving a letter from XXXX, see attachment who said they have a tracking number for the package the Bank put the charge back in the amount of {$170.00}. Why would I want t pay {$86.00} for product that normally costs {$34.00}, see attachment. XXXX might have a tracking number but I never singed anything and did not get the merchandise. Therefore I can not return it.

Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't get flexible payment options

Complaint: I fell on some hard times and XXXX of my private loans went into default. About a year ago I made an agreement with the company to pay them x amount of dollars a month, keep in mind this sum does not include other student loans that I have. I have made that monthly payment on time for a year now. I recently called the company asking them what I could do in order to consolidate or get out default with these loans. The company 's response was " There is nothing we can do until the loan is full paid off ''. Keep in mind these XXXX loans range from XXXX-XXXX. I make approximately XXXX a year, so how on earth am I ever going to repay these loans with interest accruing and them tacking on late fees each month?!?! I want to work with them, I want to help them regain their money and me feel like I have a repayment plan that is working, not one that I feel it 's hindering both parties. I am willing to work with them, they just flat out refuse to work with me.

Sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

Complaint: OnXX/XX/XXXX I opened up a checking account with Capital One 360 under the premise that if I make 2 direct deposits of XXXX by XX/XX/XXXX that I will be awarded XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 10/19/2016 about Credit card () with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (WA).
Issue: Delinquent account

Complaint: I lost my job during the Great Recession and stopped making payments on my credit cards so that I could continue paying my mortgage. XXXX of my credit cards was with Bank of America. I stopped making payments in XXXX, and in XXXX B of A charged off the debt. In XXXX, I received a XXXX form from B of A showing the charge-off amount with interest and fees. I filed the XXXX with my XXXX federal tax return, claiming the charge-off as income. In XXXX XXXX ( which is 6 years and 11 months from the date of my last payment ), B of A changed the status of this charged off account to active/due, and added interest and fees to the debt ( XXXX more years ' worth, presumably representing interest from XXXX to XXXX ). I called BofA XXXX XXXX. and explained that the debt was charged off and I received a XXXX in XXXX, and thus the account is no longer active but should reflect a charge-off and zero balance due. The agent told me that they can still legally collect on this debt because they never received a payment from me, and that I should speak to a tax professional regarding the fact that I already declared it as income in XXXX. I contacted a credit repair bureau and they told me this is untrue and that I should call back and speak to a manager. I need help. How many Great Recession consumers experienced this, and how many previously charged-off debts is BofA reinstating as active & due suddenly, right at the time when these items should be falling off our credit reports via the " 7 year '' rule?

Consumer complaint received 01-11-2017 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (IN).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Reinserted previously deleted info

Complaint: I had a XXXX transunion credit score for the past two months and as recent as XX/XX/2017. Having not applied for any credit and with all active credit accounts on auto pay I received a XXXX reduction from transunion while during the same period of time my XXXX and XXXX score went up by a few points. Additionally, I submitted XXXX disputes to tranunion and immediately after submitting the disputes on XX/XX/2017 my score was reduced by a substantial margin of XXXX points. Normally, emails are sent when changes are reflected on a credit report. I received no notification from transunion of any changes that I am aware of. It appears that this deduction was partly in response to my dispute submissions. This is the second time within the last year that transunion has deduction my credit report by a very substantial margin and second time the deduction occur after submitting disputes.

Consumer complaint received 09/24/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint: Look at these reports that I have attached to this complaint. I tried contacting these creditors but I did n't get no response at all and I 'm really tired of it. This is my last and final attempt to get this resolved. It is wrong to place information on someone 's credit without their consent and that is a major violation of the law. Companies who are to place them on the credit file is just as guilty. I know the law well and I know that credit bureaus get paid major money to place inquiries on consumers credit so you credit bureaus are willing to anything for money and do n't care about the consumer at all. When I file this lawsuit against all three bureaus I wo n't have a care in my heart as well. 


XXXX : XXXX : Experian : To : XXXX, XXXX, & Experian. 
FYI FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I 've contacted the creditor personally by reaching out to them about this matter & I have n't gotten a response through mail, phone. I do n't recognize any of the inquiries on my credit file. I am sick and tired of you Credit Bureau sending me bogus computer generated investigations. This is the final attempt to resolve this matter with both you and the creditor. I will seek legal actions immediately this week. I am contacting The FTC along, XXXX, and filing a law suit against XXXX, XXXX, Experian.

Consumer complaint received 02/28/2018 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with Ditech Financial LLC (FL).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, Green tree servicing offer a loan trial modification. I respectfully accepted the offer and made all trial payments on time. Sometime on XX/XX/XXXX, the servicer provided two sets of loan modification agreement, the contract was executed by me and was sent back to the servicing company as per their specification and/or instructions. I continued to make the monthly payments timely in accordance with the contract signed and the servicer received all monthly payments for the years to come. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received notice that the debt was transfer or sold to XXXX XXXX and that all payments must be made to the new company starting on XX/XX/XXXX. Pursuant to the notice of servicing i made the attempt to make the monthly payments to the new servicing company, however XXXX XXXX decline to accept our payments and stated that we green Tree Servicing never sent them copy of the loan modification agreement and therefore could not honor or process my payments. 

I contacted Green tree and demanded a copy of the executed agreement. According to Green tree servicing, a loan modification agreement was sent and was never executed. This statement is false, green tree had me executed two separate agreements and requested that i sent the original. Green tree Servicing made the promised to sent a copy of the agreement executed by them and never did. 

It is obvious that the servicer has engaged in deceptive and unlawful banking practices while in violation of the Department of Treasury HAMP program. Ones a loan modification agreement is executed and the servicer takes your payments for two years is clearly an indication that the account has been resolved. It took us by surprise that after servicer took our payments for two years to suddenly claim we never had an agreement whenthey sold the loan. 

XXXX XXXX has refuse to accept our payment and have defaulted the account on purpose thus no fault of our own.

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

Complaint: Equifax mishandled my personal information including Name, Social Security #, Address, Birthdate, etc. resulting in a data breach in XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX2017 that they confirmed I was affected by per their " Potential Impact '' site www.equifaxsecurity2017.com.
They have put myself and millions of others at risk of identity theft/fraud due to negligent security protocols in handling consumer information. They are further attempting to capitalize on the situation by signing injured parties THEY are responsible for up for " trial periods '' of their ID protection services.
They are simultaneously defrauding these injured parties with hidden terms of service that waive their right to sue the company in what is clearly a situation of criminal negligence/fraudulent behavior as indicated by the three Equifax executives that dumped stock immediately prior to the data breach announcement.
