Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: I have requested the following company information be changed due to inaccurate information on my credit report. I have filed disputes and nothing has changed. I also sent documents proving my dispute and nothing has changed. 

I am asking, the following companies removed from my credit report due to consistent inaccurate information. XXXX closed my account after we had an agreement, which once I received a job, I would pay what I owe. We spoke on the phone a few times and after I made my payment, XXXX then closed my account. This has negatively affected my credit. XXXX XXXX made an error, which I notice now, it is negatively affecting me and would like for this to be removed from my credit report account status. I am also asking XXXX, XXXX XXXX be removed from my credit score due to inaccurate account status information. I have requested the information be changed and nothing has been done.

Consumer complaint received 09/15/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose prepaid card) with NETSPEND CORPORATION (CA).
Issue: Problem with a purchase or transfer
Sub-issue: Card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase or transfer

Complaint: I have a netspend prepaid card account that had been active for several years but over the last 6 months or so I have kept it dormant with a token balance remaining. Having forgotten about the account altogether, I was surprised to get an alert on XXXX XXXX XXXX about not only a purchase that was made using the account but that it gave me a negative balance on the account. I contacted the appropriate disputes department immediately, sent in the appropriate documentation and formal dispute letter while still on the phone with them and received confirmation that the documentation was received. They assure me they will " investigate '' etc. 

I called them today XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to followup on the issue as no provisional credit had been issued as promised within the XXXX business day designation ( XXXX and a half weeks have gone by! ). After being juggled around their call center for about XXXX minutes I finally just asked flat out to the supervising representative ( verbatim ) " So, is it NetSpend 's official stance on this issue to completely disregard Federal law as outlined in the XXXX act and consumer protections held therin? '' to which she replied almost triumphantly, and I 'm quoting here " Yes. '' and then continued to tell me the credit would be issued after the investigation was complete and there was no one she could put me in contact with regarding the issue. 

Finally, I decided to contact the merchant who processed the fraudulent transaction that instigated all this madness. They turned out to be a payment processing company who apologized immediately, confirmed that this was a fraudulent transaction among a string of them related to a specific client of theirs, offered to provide any documentation required to prove as much, and lastly ( and this is the funniest part ) that they have received no contact from Netspend regarding the dispute and in fact had reached out to them regarding a whole separate set of issues only to be stonewalled like the rest of us. What a joke! 

Alright, thats it. I have extensive documentation supporting all these claims, time stamped, dated etc. Please advise as to what would be most beneficial. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. 

P.S. I imagine the issue will be resolved by the time you have a chance to act on this, and thats fine, I 'm not really interested in the monetary value at risk here, I am purely seeking moral restitution. 

Good luck!

Consumer complaint received 10/30/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Ditech Financial LLC (VA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I have rental property which was late on payments as tenants had not paid rent for seberal months. I did make the Payment after the monthly statement had been generated and was sent to me. The company sent someone to the property, which I understand is normal. But the investigator began talking to a neighbor leaving the impression that the house was being foreclosed upon.The company has my phone number and my home address for contact information and knew how to reach me, yet they did n't. There was no need for them to collect any information from the neighbor or tell them who they were or why they were there. Also any information shared was incorrect. Is n't that illegal?

Consumer complaint received 03/20/2016 about Mortgage (Home equity loan or line of credit) with Specialized Loan Servicing LLC (CA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I have always paid my bills on time. In XXXX, however, my business suffered a severe financial crisis and had to declare chapter XXXX. My HELOC was discharged but we wanted to keep the house and so since then I have been working very hard day and night and have been paying my bills on time. I voluntarily caught up the payments on my HELOC in XXXX and then it was sold to a serving company who resold it to SLS. I have continued making on time voluntary interest payments for the past 5 years and have never missed a payment or been late. In XXXX XXXX the HELOC reaches 10 years and I will owe {$730000.00} balloon payment. There was a clause in the original contract that they have the option to refinance. 

I called SLS XX/XX/XXXX to ask them if I could refinance in good time so that we do n't wait to the last minute and have any problems as I can afford the monthly payments, but not a lump sum of {$730000.00}. The person who answered seemed very unknowledgeable and incompetent and said because it was discharged I could not refinance. ( But it was discharged and they have happily taken my voluntary interest payments ). I was told to write a letter with my request and they would get back to me in 5 days. I have faxed the letter and mailed it and they are ignoring me. 

I am feeling like they are loan sharks who took over the loan, and have been taking my interest payment money while waiting for the balloon payment to come due, and then instead of working with me to try and extend the loan or refinance the loan, they are just waiting to pounce on it and take it from me as soon as the balloon payment date arrives. 

We are trying to refinance through other banks and this could very well happen, but just in case it does n't, I need to keep all options open, and I wish they would cooperate with me, be reasonable and discuss our options, so we can get this taken care of in good time.

Consumer complaint received 08-05-2017 about Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan (Personal line of credit) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MD).
Issue: Credit limit changed

Complaint: Was never notified that Wells Fargo had decided to decrease my line of credit from {$7500.00} to {$5700.00}. Logged in to my banking today and found that after having this account for 4 years and never missing a payment that had decreased my limit. When I called about it I was given the run around, and told it was because they had " received a soft copy '' of my credit report and it stated that I had open to many accounts recently and that I had to many inquiries on my credit. I found this to be pure lies because I have opened no new accounts and not let anyone run my credit in almost 1 year. They said well they use XXXX, which again I found to be lies because I have credit monitoring with XXXX and had just paid for a copy of my credit report to see the status of a fee accounts I recently closed and paid off ... The Wells Fargo representative said they would gladly run a full credit check, i.e. try and substantiate the very lie they are telling stating I have had my credit run this year and / or to many times. Why on earth would anyone let them run their credit again when they have already had the account for over 4 years. Or why would someone let them run their credit after a representative just got done stating you have to many inquiries on their credit. Either XXXX credit monitoring and credit report is lieing or Wells Fargo is utilizing unethical and illegal practices to attain credit information on individuals. Additionally, their management customer service representative became rude and ignorant and more concerned with getting me off the phone than fixing the situation.

Consumer complaint received 11/19/2015 about Credit card () with TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (LA).
Issue: Late fee

Complaint: I have a rooms to go credit card with TD Bank. I enrolled in online statements, but the company has not provided online statements. Nor has the company provided written statements, which include the charges, due date, or amount due. The agreement states that they are supposed to issue a bill 5 days before it is due, but, instead, they issue the statement 5 days or more after it is due, when they have already applied a late fee. The late fee is applied without giving notice before the due date of when the amount is due, or how much is owed. I put them on notice of the problem, and complained about it last month. But, they did it again this month. Also, I currently do not have access to the statement allegedly issued on XX/XX/XXXX ( 5 days after the due date ), but rather, when I click on it, it gives me an error message. I believe this is a scam to make money off of late fees, since this is a zero interest for 18 months credit card. Further, they are doing this with malicious intent and full knowledge because they were put on notice of the problem last month and failed to rectify it. I have again demanded a refund of the improperly charged late fee.

Consumer complaint received 09-01-2015 about Mortgage (Home equity loan or line of credit) with Ditech Financial LLC (CA).
Issue: Settlement process and costs

Complaint: In XXXX XXXX my wife became medically XXXX and was unable to work. We were no longer able to pay our mortage. We performed a short sale on our home in XXXX, XXXX. The XXXX lien was held by GreenTree Serving. In spite of repeated assurances that the short sale would satisfy our account, the company did not provide a settlement statement at closing and mailed a letter stating we still owed $ XXXX postmarked ON THE DAY OF CLOSING. They began harassing us for the money, calling us day and night, and they wanted us to pay all that money at once. We had to get a lawyer to stop the harassment. Nothing was reported on our credit from that point on. Two years later, our financial situation greatly improved, the VA had declared me XXXX XXXX and I received a pension and my wife had received a legal settlement as a result of her medical circumstances. We were able to buy a home again ( VA standards are to wait for 2 years after a short sale ). But the second lien was still listed as open. We tried to get the company to remove the derogatory information but they refused. We ended up settling the amount for $ XXXX. In our settlement statement we made sure that the date of settlement reflected XXXX XXXX. GreenTree began reporting that we settled in XXXX XXXX, which greatly damaged our credit and prevented us from qualifying for a loan. With a settlement statement in hand we attempted to dispute the date with all three credit bureaus. The credit bureaus ignored our documentation and used what GreenTree told them, that the settlement date was XXXX. GreenTree pretended that it was n't their fault, that it was the fault of the credit bureaus. It took several months of disputes to finally get the credit bureaus aligned to reflect the correct date. We were able to get a loan in XXXX XXXX. By then interest rates had risen over 1.5 %, and the market had appreciated over 20 %. This unethical behavior by GreenTree cost our family over $ XXXX. As soon as our loan was processed, the credit bureaus " magically '' began reporting the XXXX date again. We disputed several times and were only able to fix XXXX of the bureau reports. XXXX is correct, the other eliminated the account altogether, but a XXXX continues to report the inaccurate date. The XXXX bureau refuses to accept our documentation and claims the date has been verified by GreenTree. This company has put us through years of emotional stress and have directly affected our financial situation - tenuous as it is in our recovery from XXXX. 

GreenTree has still asserted recently that their report of the XXXX date was accurate in spite of internal emails and a settlement letter disputing this.
