Consumer complaint received 11-03-2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: I attempted to close my escrow account with the company this Summer.  They informed me that I had to wait for 1 year after closing to close my escrow account. I had made all of my mortgage payments to date on time and in full and owned more than 20 % of my home. That was not a term or condition in my deed of trust or any other document in my closing package. My loan was not originated by Wells Fargo when my loan was sold to Wells Fargo, they company you enforced a policy that they did n't inform me of and that I did n't agree to. That seems like a deceptive business practice to me. Wells Fargo kept my money only so they could collect the interest on my escrow account. I feel that this practice can cause harm to consumers. In my particular situation I had to wait until XXXX to close my account and now their internal process will take a number of weeks to issue my escrow refund. At this point I will likely need to take money out of pocket to pay my property taxes as the refund will not be issued. Wells Fargo forced me to comply with a policy that was n't documented or agreed to in my loan contract. I contacted the bank a number of times to seek correction but to no avail. As a result I had to remember to call them on the anniversary of my loan origination to request my money to be returned to me. In my opinion, this should be added to the list of the many things that Wells Fargo is doing that are not in the best interests of their consumers. Yet another deceptive practice used by them to build revenue off their consumers without their consent.

Consumer complaint received 04/30/2015 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (GA).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

Complaint: I disputed some inquiries that I do not remember doing or recognize. My understanding is that I may dispute anything in my credit file. Then the credit reporting company is to contact the furnishing of the information to the credit bureau to verify. If it is verified then let me know or if its not then delete. Well I received a email from Equifax telling me that inquiries are a factual record and if I disagree than I need to contact the creditor. Well that tells me that Equifax did n't even look into this dispute. That 's not right I have a right to dispute anything in my credit report and the first step in this process is to start with the credit bureaus.. Then they need to do there job and investigate.

Consumer complaint received 09-04-2015 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (NJ).
Issue: Credit line increase/decrease

Complaint: My Citibank credit card account opened 19 years ago was closed without warning. Being one of my oldest credit card accounts, this decreases my FICO score and damages my credit rating. When I called and asked for the account to be reopened, Citibank wanted to run a new credit report to reopen the account. Running credit inquires will decrease my FICO score and damage my credit rating. When used, my payments for this card have always been on time.

I am requesting again,  XXXX  and the credit agencies report to the credit agencies the correct information. I do n't want to hear that you have when obviously it is not being reported by  XXXX  as current.  One day it appears as if it is fixed, then the next it is back negative again. All while the current status listed shows 30 days late even though the other information backs-up the proof of it being current.

Consumer complaint received 12-11-2015 about Bank account or service (Other bank product/service) with U.S. BANCORP (WI).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: I am the treasurer of my condominium association and in order to assist in the closing of one of our units, US Bank requested a balance sheet of us ; our CPA provided one at a cost of service {$250.00}. The bank stated the bill would be included in the closing and we would be reimbursed. This promise was made in a number of emails before and after closing. I also demanded payment a number of times to no avail. This last request I was told the new owner would pay the bill. The new owner knows nothing about this arrangement. I can not get satisfaction from the bank and think this is very unfair.

Consumer complaint received 12-09-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (KY).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: I spoke to a loan officer ant my local bank about a refinance of my mortgage. We started the process. I was told I would get an interest rate of 3.5 % and my closing costs would be financed into the loan. My officer would than ignored my repeated attempts to reach him. The original loan close date and rate lock date came and went, but the rate lock was extended by the loan processor. When my loan officer finally get back in touch with me he said the rate had gone up to 3.9 % and I would now have to bring {$3500.00} to close. I then reached out to his manager who said he could still get me 3.5 % but I would now have to pay 2.375 % in points in order get the rate that I was told I could have in the beginning and now I would have to bring about {$2400.00} to close. My credit has not changed over the 3 months that this process has taken. Interest rates have increased since I started this process, now I can not even go to another bank because of the time that this loan officer and bank has wasted. Because of this fact I agreed to proceed with the new figures to see what the final numbers would look like. Since then my wife received a student loan disbursement. We put most of it into our savings account. I had also been putting some money into the same savings account in anticipation of needing more cash to close. Now they are telling me that I can not use the money that I put out of our checking account into savings for my cash to close money. The amount of money I put up would be enough to cover the closing costs, even if we did n't get the disbursement. I feel like they are trying to discourage me from closing this loan because rates have gone up and they do n't want me to have the lower rate that I was promised in the beginning of the process. I also feel as though they have been deceptive from the beginning of the loan process. They keep moving the goalposts on me every time I meet XXXX of their requirements or agree to new terms.

Consumer complaint received 01-01-2016 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (GA).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: I had a XXXX account in XXXX, XXXX that I closed because I was moving out of state ( to XXXX ). I took all of the equipment less than a week prior to me moving, to the local branch that I normally dealt with and paid them in full so it would be one less thing for me to worry about, this was XXXX 2012. I never once received any correspondence indicating there was an issue until XX/XX/XXXX when it mysteriously showed up on my credit report as not being paid. I contacted them directly and they investigated and wanted me to fax them a receipt, however I told them I did n't have it anymore since it had been over 2 1/2 years and if there had been any problems with it, I should have been notified long before 2 1/2 years and it also should not have been put on my credit report without notifying me first. The XXXX representatives I discussed it with agreed with me, however they said there was nothing further that could be done beside talk to their collections department. I spoke to them and all they wanted to do was discuss payment arrangements which I explained I was not interested in because the bill had already been paid once and I had no interest nor was it fair for me to have to pay it twice. I also filed several disputes with Equifax because XXXX kept reporting it as an active debt, however XXXX currently shows it as a closed account. I explained this to Equifax in my dispute that if XXXX has it closed that they should be reporting the same. In fact, Equifax removed it but then added it back which I did n't understand, but they continue to say after each dispute I make ( I 've made at least XXXX ), that the debt is valid, however it is not and it is hurting my credit and I need it removed.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint: I mailed a Multiple  Inquiry  removal Letter on  XXXX   XXXX ,   XXXX   by mail in order to dispute information, in regards t o 8 hard  inquiries, that was being reported on my credit report. They started my dispute on  XXXX / XXXX /  XXXX  , finished my dispute on  XXXX / XXXX /  XXXX  , and mailed a letter on  XXXX / XXXX /  XXXX  . The request that I submitted includ ed 8 Ha rd inquires that were not factual and I received the same response for ALL inquiries, which was " Inquiries are a factual record of file access. If you believe this was unauthorized, please contact the creditor, '' According to the FCRA Rules, FCR A 623 ( b ) ( 2 ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ), it states that any information can be disputed and MUST be investigated and if you do not   investigate AND respond, the CRA must delete the disputed information from its files. The fact that it only took 4 days to investigate, one can assume that thee was no investigation into the matter. I plan to purchase a car here in the near future and having this many hard inquiries on my credit report display as a sign of financial trouble, when this is not a case. I am submitting this complaint due to the lack of investigation into my original dispute for hard inquiries that does not belong to me. I did not sign for anything. This is unfair practices by a credit reporting agency with no concern for the credit worthiness of consumer.
