Consumer complaint received 11-08-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (CA).
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services
Sub-issue: Didn't receive services that were advertised

Complaint: I currently subscribe to Equifax credit monitoring. There product has continuously not worked. I have emailed them twice, called, and chatted. They keep stating issues with their system. I said then I would like to cancel my subscription and receive a refund because you can not provide services. I only asked for the month I prepaid for. They refused to provide refund because I did not cancel in time. But once again, they advertise you can run your score whenever you would like, but you ca n't because their software does n't work. It 's sad they are responsible for your credit. I just want them to do what is right. I have attached the screenshot in which it states report is in progress, it says that everyday, so you can never order and no report is ever generated.

Consumer complaint received 03/27/2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with KEYCORP (WA).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: On XX/XX/2016 I went into my local Key Bank branch to withdraw {$4000.00}. I told the bank that I would like to deposit the cash into another account and provided the bank card of my partner, XXXX. The cashier called the bank manager over for an override authorization and he said, " before I can complete the transaction I need to know who XXXX is and why you are giving him money. '' I was shocked and asked why and was visibly offended by his question. His response - " I am just making sure you are making good choices with your money. '' I provided him with the information and after he entered his authorization and walked away I told the clerk that it felt very intrusive. Her response - " He is just looking after your best interest. '' As though I should be thankful that my bank is monitoring how I use my money. 
If I would have answered differently would I have been able to withdraw my own money? I felt extreme discrimination and can not understand how this autocratic behavior is acceptable at any bank in the US. The bank manager reviewed my account prior to asking me the question so I know he could see that I work for a premiere technology company and that I have significant accountability professionally. It was apparent to me that the only reason he felt I was not able to make " good choices with my money '' was because I was female. I assure you that I am very capable! 
I called customer service immediately upon returning home. After listening and empathizing, the agent told me there was nothing she could do since it had to do with client services. She said she could bring the topic up for discussion in a team meeting. She continued by saying the only way to file a complaint with Key Bank was to write a letter to a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. There was no option for voice or electronic communication. 
I called trying to find client services and was directed back to the bank manager. I am starting to see why he felt so secure in the way he acted. 
I felt you were my last resort. Thank you for having a means to ensure Key Bank knows of the actions that are taking place in their bank.

XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Account Number Num : XXXX Balance {$00.00} Dear XXXX, I am writing in regards XXXX Credit account on my credit report. On XXXX/XXXX/16 I have file a complain to the CFPB I sent a letter explaining that I do not believe I owe what you say I owe and, in accordance with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g, Section 809 ( b ) : Validating Debts : ( b ) If the consumer notifies the debt collector in writing within the thirty-day period described in subsection ( a ) that the debt, or any portion thereof, is disputed, or that the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or any copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector.

As of today, you have failed to respond to my requests! For your convenience, I have included a copy of my previous letter and a copy of the mail receipt showing that you received my letter on { insert date from mail receipt }. 
Since you have failed to respond I assume that you have been unable to validate the debt and therefore, I consider this matter closed.

As of today XXXX/XXXX/16 I have not yet received any correspondence from Equifax regarding this account. 

I must remind you that any attempt to collect this debt without validating it, violates the FDCPA and that I am recording all phone calls and keeping all correspondence concerning this matter. Be advised that I will not hesitate to report violations of the law to my XXXX, the Federal Trade Commission and the XXXX XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 12/16/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with Ditech Financial LLC (ID).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: My mortgage company took possession of my house while I was out of town. They sent a company to change the locks and winterize the house. I am behind in payments but not in foreclosure. They provided no notice to me either before or after the locks were changed. 

This is just the latest in a long string of what I would call bad behaviors by the first mortgage company, which began in XXXX 2015 when I asked for a loan modification. The representative told me I would not qualify " because I did not have 2 years of tax returns showing my self employment income '' I knew in XX/XX/XXXX that both mortgage payments would significantly increase in XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX. 

I worked with the XXXX mortgage company in XX/XX/XXXX and received a conditional approval for a short sale. 

I listed the home for sale in XX/XX/XXXX. I presented the first short-sale offer in XX/XX/XXXX and was denied in XX/XX/XXXX. I was again denied in XX/XX/XXXX for a short-sale after a second short-sale offer. I was further denied in XX/XX/XXXX for a deed-in-lieu request. The representative told me to " wait 30 days and re-apply. '' I was getting ready to re-apply when I was locked out of the house. 

What do I do next?

Consumer complaint received 07/27/2015 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with ERC (FL).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint: Back in XXXX, 2015 I pulled my credit report and I notice XXXX debts on there from Enhanced Recovery Co. XXXX for {$99.00} and XXXX for {$130.00} I know for a fact that I did not owe these debts so I wrote a letter of dispute and asked for validation of the debts. After doing some research online I offered to settle the debts just to have them remove from my credit even though I know I do not owe them. I wanted to improve my credit as I am trying to purchase a house within the next two years so I figured I could get rid of them since they are minimal for my piece of mind. I verified Enhanced Recovery Co. address and I sent the XXXX letter of dispute asking for validation of the debts on XXXX XXXX, 2015. I waited 30 days for a reply but I did not get one. I sent a XXXX letter on XXXX XXXX, 2015 and as of today, XXXX XXXX, 2015 I have received no reply which shows me that these have no proof of these debts and are ruining my credit for no reason. Since these so called bad debts can not be proven I can only assume that these debts are not valid especially since I have never had service with those companies.

Consumer complaint received 08/18/2016 about Mortgage (Reverse mortgage) with JAMES B. NUTTER & COMPANY (NJ).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: At the beginning of obtaining this reverse mortgage my understanding was I was to pay the taxes of the property which I agreed to do. At the time, my property taxes were already behind and the default amount was not cleared or paid up current by the reverse mortgage company. What happen my default amount became an issue, because a clause of the reverse mortgage agreement states property taxes must be kept current which I was not advised nor aware of before I sign the contract, otherwise I would not have sign it. 
Thus, the reverse mortgage company contacted the tax office and paid up the default amount fully on the property and provided me with a monthly repayment plan to repay them as well as the ongoing current amount, leaving me with XXXX tax payments obligations to handle, which became overwhelming to handle, considering the others house up keep that also must be kept up as well. I carried it for as long as I could until it became impossible to keep it up. 
So this is were we are now. The reverse mortgage company has file to foreclosure on the property

Consumer complaint received 05-02-2016 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Texas Guaranteed (TX).
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't get flexible payment options

Complaint: Original loan service purposely kept me in default to collect outrageous fees and interest for years without every paying a dollar toward principal. I inquired about ways to get out of default but was n't given workable option. Told I had to make double payments for a year -- close to $ XXXX!! Finally knew someone on the 'inside ' of this corporation and they helped get me out of default. My loans were bought out but still have a have a loan balance equal to what it was even after paying thousands via default. Thinking I was victimized. ZERO communication from lender in order to keep me in default. How do I find out if I was taken advantage of while kept in default??
