Consumer complaint received 04-07-2017 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (MO).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account terms

Complaint: I have sent multiple dispute letters to Experian in attempts to rectify incorrect account information that is reporting on all XXXX of my student loan accounts. I have sent a dispute letter dated on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ( with new relevant and verifying information ), requesting Experian to update my student loan account payment statuses ( XXXX student loans ) for the month of XX/XX/XXXX to current instead of a 90-120 days late status ( what is currently reporting on all XXXX student loan accounts ). I provided Experian with verifying and supporting information provided to me by XXXX XXXX XXXX illustrating that for the month of XX/XX/XXXX, I was granted a forbearance period from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX, which makes my account NOT late and current with the terms set between myself and XXXX. Experian refuses to update my student loan accounts and they came back verified and no change. I requested a method of verification on XX/XX/XXXX via certified mail ( tracking number provided in attachment ) for my student loan accounts. According to the FCRA, Experian has 15 days to respond to my method of verification, in which they must provide with whom they verified the disputed account information. Experian did not provide this information in the required time, according to the law and is thus in violation of the law. Experian decided to treat my request for Method of Verification as a dispute when my request clearly asks for a method of verification for the above stated case number a couple of weeks prior. I believe this is a stall tactic to prolong the appropriate changes that need to be made to my credit report. I have attached my Method of verification ( which clearly states MOV and NOT DISPUTE ) letter that I sent to Experian. I have also attached the XXXX XXXX XXXX documentation for further verification that Experian is reporting incorrect payment information on my credit report and refuses to update my report with the correct information even when provided with supporting documentation. This should be sufficient documentation as the other credit reports were able to use the documentation to make the correct updates to my student loan accounts.

Consumer complaint received 02-02-2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (IL).
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint: I am not clear as to what exactly happened with my Bank of America account. I do know that the account was ultimately closed and has been reported to XXXX ( XXXX ) and XXXX as " fraud '' because of a returned check that was deposited. I have made two trips to Bank of America to try and resolve the issues at hand ( I have been placed in XXXX & XXXX for {$240.00} ). The branches themselves have not been able to help me. The reporting to both bureaus has resulted in all my bank accounts being closed with my previous institution because of the " fraud '' attachment to my account. I have attempted to resolve the issue at Bank of america to no avail. It is IMPOSSIBLE to open another bank account for myself and or my business because of the fraud. My business will be closed by the end of the month because we can not operate without a bank account and our credit card reserves will be maxed out. Who gave Bank of America the right to shut down businesses it is very apparent that they have more power than our Government does.

Consumer complaint received 10/26/2015 about Credit card () with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (IL).
Issue: Other

Complaint: We are having a problem with Capital One Bank and Menards. We opened a Menards credit card with Capital One to buy kitchen cabinets. The cabinets on display, which we fell in love with, were a higher quality than the exact same cabinets we purchased. The cabinets we received had staple marks on all the finished end units. XXXX cabinet had the toe kick plate missing. Another cabinet had an exposed nail bent over sticking out of it. When we brought it to the managers attention, he said this has never happened before. Yet, he said he would order us new cabinets to replace the damaged cabinets. However, the replacement cabinets would arrive with staple marks showing on all end cabinets. He ordered us skins to put on the end cabinets ; which we had to pay our installer to cut down to size and install. This was not told to us by the salesperson. She obviously wanted a sale so she omitted pertinent information we needed to make an educated decision. We still had issues with the cabinets and called Capital One to let them know what kind of company they were representing. They stopped taking and returning my calls after XXXX told me that Menards would have the cabinet company call me to fix the problem. To this day, they have n't called. I have since received a letter from Capital One stating that Menards did nothing wrong and my account would be removed from disputed status. Menards and Capital One must have one sweetheart deal going. Stick together and stick it to the customer! In my opinion, Capital One is now an accessory to fraud. Menards is refusing to partially reimburse me for all the aggravation and frustration we are going through, not to mention the extra money we had to pay to have our contractor install the corrections. They wo n't even exempt my account the late charges and fees accruing since I refuse to pay until the case is really settled to my satisfaction. I am hoping you can help me. Pictures are attached. XXXX picture shows the corrected skin installed that was n't cut exact and is now noticeable.

Consumer complaint received 08/24/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA (NE).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: I went to the First National Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX to see if I could qualify for a mortgage. I had a short sale roughly 4 years ago in the spring of 2011 and the bank was aware of this the first day. Because I had relocated for my job I was forced to give power of attorney to my father to complete the short sale. By neglecting to tell me it is 4 years from the settlement date of a short sale before they can give any kind of mortgage, they moved forward by approving me for a loan of up to {$130000.00}. At that point I put {$500.00} earnest money down on a house. Then I liquidated my XXXX to the tune of {$25000.00}. I was also charged an appraisal fee of {$450.00}. After about a month the bank contacted and told me that they were denying me financing because my short sale had not reached a full four years. The bank was fully aware of this short sale and its settlement date from the very first day I went in and they neglected to be thorough in doing a financial background check. Due to the incompetence of the employee I am now responsible for fees and penalties of up to and over {$3000.00} and have nothing to show for it. First National should have denied me financing the very first day I walked in the door instead of telling me I was getting a loan. I then contacted the employee I was dealing with and was spoken to very disrespectfully when all I wanted was an answer as to why they were so irresponsible with there loan process. My goal in filing this complaint is to be refunded the potential fees of over {$3000.00} and if possible to refund me the {$25000.00} I withdrew from my XXXX. Keep in mind this was the very first time I set foot in this bank and this is how they treat potential customers. Please note the date on the attached conditional loan approval letter and the date on the attached good faith estimate paperwork are over a month apart. There was more than enough time for them to find any information about my short sale and inform me of what to do.

Consumer complaint received 08/29/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NY).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint: Unacceptable response to complaint XXXX as your investigation only verified name rank and serial number, which is not what I 've disputed. I will again submit a follow-up compliant with Experian until Experian takes the same position as XXXX  by refusing to support a known predatory loan that not only was part of a class action suit that cost XXXX XXXX 150+ million in settlement costs, but was even identified by the grantor " XXXX XXXX '' itself as being handled in error. 

Experian continues to allow XXXX XXXX to stand behind their predatory lending practices as the home equity loan in question was an instrument of XXXX XXXX home loan, which affected roughly half a million borrowers that took these XXXX loans under false pretenses from XXXX, me being one of them. XXXX Bank and its subsidiaries sold the loans, but when XXXX XXXX bought XXXX at the end of XXXX, they assumed responsibility for them. Homeowners began to complain when the payments shot up, and law enforcement started investigating as well. Because XXXX loans were designed to fail, and because XXXX never disclosed the consequences, XXXX XXXX was liable for violations of multiple consumer fraud statutes. '' In addition to XXXX admitting that they error-ed, said home equity loan was transferred in XXXX of XXXX under Account XXXX while litigation proceedings were still in progress and without notifying me or my attorney of this critical piece of information that would have otherwise alerted my attorney of XXXX XXXX 's intentions to proceed with foreclosure and sale of the home in lieu of working out a true modification that would have upheld the loans original commitment.

Consumer complaint received 12-03-2015 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (SC).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Personal information

Complaint: My complaint is only sending through some sort of regulatory agency in nature to ensure a substancial record is maintained. Equifax among all relative credit reporting agencies have generally been a good steward, not abusing their obligation in order to support a non prosecuted financial industry. My request, sent as a complaint is just for reconciliation of all accounts, and inquires maintained by Equifax. If such is done, then it 's not the inaccurate reporting on of the credit reporting agencies its the unverifiable information sent by their billing clients, the above the law financial industry. Which is the subject of my complaint. If the Credit reporting agency reconciliates the record, then all complaints i believe will be resolved. If the credit reporting agency verifies my name, specific the one that appears on my social security card, which is the number identification that it uses to maintain such report, then it will take care of itself.

Consumer complaint received 03/21/2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with SOUTHEAST MORTGAGE OF GA INC (GA).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: Southeast Mortgage, XXXX, GA was the lender on the purchase of our home in XXXX Ga. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The process for the FHA streamline loan took 71 days from initiation - excessive and unacceptable. The XXXX Lead Representative assigned appeared to lack the knowledge of the FHA requirements and process. For example, we were not provided information on our responsibilities to get the contractors, forms which contained the FHA requirements were not provided. Questions on our part to wade through this process were almost always answered with 'the requirements for the FHA streamline process changed in XXXX '. The lender should be educated in these changes and pass on information which helps the consumer to get through this process. I did my own research, my son created his own contractor form based on the information received by the lender. When submitting, the rules changed several times. First, the bid information had to be received from XXXX contractors, listing the cost and labor for the proposed renovations. Each time we submitted what the lender required we were told 'just XXXX more document and we 'll be good '. Delays due to this, lack of response to emails and phone calls added to the frustration. When we were told the appraisal could now be ordered, it was n't because the underwriting process was slow and when issues were discovered our application went to the bottom of the pile. After many complaints to the lender, we would get some movement, but again were told it was due to FHA requirements. Once the appraisal was finally ordered, and completed, we were told a new form had to be completed by the contractors which was our responsibility to get completed, signed and returned. We travelled over an hour to meet with the contractor to get this done same day and returned to the lender. Once received by the lender, we were told it had to go through underwriting again, which took several days. We are now at 45 plus days in process. When told the new form required a contractor resume, the contractor failed to provide since his references and all contracting information had already been provided. We had to resubmit all our information for a regular FHA loan. Again the forms had to go through underwriting, another appraisal had to be ordered. XXXX extensions had to be filed with the owner to keep the home in process. Finally, we signed on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Three months we had to stay in hotels and with relatives and pay for the storage of our belongings because we moved from Arizona to Georgia. The cost to us waiting on this process was more than a month longer than we expected. Tensions and frustrations are beyond explanation. Southeast Mortgage motto is to make the experience Awesome and not average. It was AWFUL not Awesome.

Consumer complaint received 07/24/2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with CITIBANK, N.A. (NJ).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: Signed up for a Citigold account with a promotion code XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/16 that had a bonus of XXXX miles when meeting the promotional terms ( 2 consecutive bill pays and {$1000.00} spend on the debit card ). Met those terms, and asked for confirmation through secure message on XXXX/XXXX/16, and CSR confirmed that I have indeed met those terms and the miles will be credited after XXXX/XXXX/16 within 10 days. Miles have not posted, so I ask through secure message again, and on XXXX/XXXX/16 received notice saying that I was not eligible but will be receiving notice through the promotions department soon. I have not received any notice since. Upon searching through the CFPB database, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of cases similar to my situation, which means that Citibank knowingly tried to not honor the promotion to many of its customers.
