Consumer complaint received 08-12-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (CA).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: I have 5 private student loans with XXXX that became active this year. I am an active student working on my masters. I was notified by XXXX this year that 5 of my loans with them have become active for payment. I started a payment plan with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. They electronically withdraw their payment each month from my XXXX bank account on or around the XXXX of each month. XXXX is reporting 60, 90, 120 day lates on my credit report for months they have collected their payment. Here are the dates : Credit report shows 60 day late XXXX when {$100.00} payment was made over the phone to stop harassing calls. Credit report shows 90 day late on XXXX when {$220.00} telephone payment was made on XX/XX/XXXX. Credit report shows 120 day late on XXXX when auto payment was drafted on XX/XX/XXXX. Credit report shows 120 day late on XXXX when auto payment was drafted on XX/XX/XXXX I also show 90 and 120 day lates on my credit report in the year XX/XX/XXXXwhen I was an active student at that time and all of my student loans were DEFERRED. Here are those late dates : 90 day late for XXXX, 120 day late for XXXX, 120 day late for XXXX. I have tried calling numerous times and I have been unsuccessful in resolving this urgent issue. I have disputed these late payments with the credit bureaus and each time XXXX responds with no changes made. I have sent written request via registered mail to XXXX asking for this payment history to be corrected, and again they have not responded. I have emailed their complaint department and again, no response from XXXX. I have depleted all of my options and I am very frustrated. XXXX is hurting my credit and scores tremendously when they are collecting their timely payment each time. How can I possibly be late when they collect their money each month? I have proof of payment by providing a Bank statement for each month they claim the payment is late.

Consumer complaint received 02/19/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (AZ).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: All of my student loans except for 2 private loans from XXXX XXXX have been put into forbearance because I am currently in school. But before this, in XXXX of XXXX I was place in XXXX XXXX  XXXX status and all my loans were cleared off except for the private loans because they told me that private loans couldn't be discharged. So I set up payment arrangements with them. 

Although I am still XXXX and have been since XXXX, and on permanent XXXX, I have re-enrolled in school. Because of doing this XXXX pulled me out of total permanent XXXX status and placed me in deferment. I have contacted XXXX XXXX twice through certified mail ( XXXX of XXXX and XXXX of XXXX ) and explained all of this to them and asked them if they could put me in deferment as well and they said no because I was in default. I told them I didn't know that I was in default status, and that no one ever contacted me about the loan being in re-payment status, I told them that I assumed all of my loans were discharged, and they said on the phone that private loans can't be discharged. I then told them that I am XXXX and still in school, but I could pay XXXX XXXX monthly, and I have been doing so for over a year now. 

They accepted that, yet they continue to put late fees on my credit report and mark me as delinquent every month. No one still has written me back to explain anything or answer any of my questions. 
The only reason I found out that they had placed me in default was because I noticed that my credit score kept going down, and continues to go down every month. I looked into why it was happening and discovered that it was because of the 2 private loans. I thought that once I got on a payment plan with this company they would stop marking me as delinquent as they said they would and do right by me, but they didn't and do not. 
XXXX XXXX keeps reporting me as missing payments, and this keeps lowering my credit score every single month, and causing me stress because it has effected my ability to move into a better place for me and my children.

Consumer complaint received 02-10-2017 about Payday loan () with LDF Holdings, LLC (PA).
Issue: Charged fees or interest I didn't expect

Complaint: I took a loan from " Radiant Cash Loans '' for {$600.00}. The monies were credited to my bank account on XX/XX/2016. 
To date, I have paid a total of {$1300.00} and per Radiant Cash Loans customer service, I have an outstanding balance of {$460.00}, which means out of {$1300.00}, only {$130.00} has been applied to the principal amount. 
I have since realized that online/payday/tribal loans are illegal in the State of PA where I reside. And, any lender can not charge more than 6 % interest. 
On this loan, that would be the Principal : {$600.00} plus 6 % interest : {$36.00} Based on PA law, I have overpaid by {$750.00}. 
Also- I can not see my account balance, loan document or proof of payments on my " online account. '' I have had to request proof of payments and balance from customer service, which can take a long time. They say that their website is " undergoing maintenance. '' It has been like this for the life of the loan.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: XXXX originally charged for internet service at a home that I sold ( and was vacant due to renovations after the sale ). The person that purchased my home informed me of the debt when they finished renovations and tried to connect internet service. I contacted them and explained, they agreed to research and pull records and call me back, they never called me back. XXXX continues to sell the debt to various collection agencies who resubmit for collection. I have provided details, including the HUD to prove the date of sale at the address, to XXXX twice and had the debt removed both times. Now they have put it on my XXXX credit report and I have submitted the information and pending the result. The amount is {$200.00}. I am tired of having to repeatedly provide documentation for something they have failed multiple times to prove is my debt. My credit score has been negatively affected in a major way, preventing me from refinancing my home until this is cleared up.

Consumer complaint received 02-08-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with loanDepot.com, LLC (PA).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: I was seeking to refinance my home. I started working with XXXX company ( Loan Depot ) in CA. they ordered an appraisal which I paid for. just as the appraisal came in I was offered a much better deal by another financial service. I and the new financial company asked Loan Depot to transfer the appraisal. they are refusing saying they do n't do that. I paid for it. In addition they contacted my insurance carrier and informed them they would be servicing the loan even though I have informed that I no longer wished to proceed with their offer. I understand they are upset at losing my business but do n't I own the appraisal. just because they " would not accept another appraisal '' does not mean that it is legal or ethical to deny transfer. Please advise.

Consumer complaint received 09/22/2015 about Credit card () with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NJ).
Issue: Other

Complaint: I am writing to complain about the interest rate on my Chase XXXX card. It is currently at 28.24 %. This is high for a person who is a long term customer, pays regularly and has good credit. I am asking that you lower the rate. 
I contacted your customer service group and spoke with XXXX on XXXX. They could not help me. As a matter of fact all of the customer service people seemed amused by my request. 
This is a usurious interest rate. It is unacceptable that the rate is so high with the prime rate being at historic lows. I understand that you need to cover your costs and make a profit. But this is unacceptable.

Consumer complaint received 07-09-2016 about Bank account or service (Savings account) with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NY).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: Capital One Bank allowed my XXXX year old, by going online to their site, to set up an online banking link to a custodial savings account with no questions asked and no notification of the adult custodian. He was also allowed to switch from paper statements to electronic with his email address as the recipient, so no one would know. He then was able to make XXXX separate ACH withdrawals totaling {$750.00}. The " Bankers '' at our branch were mortified, telling us that if he walked into a branch he would not have been allowed to conduct any business without the custodian on the account. They tried to help us but the only thing they seemed able to do was to refer us to the online banking fraud department. An " investigation '' was done, and not surprisingly, no fraud was found, as the end recipients of the transfers answered the inquiries saying there was no fraud involved. No one beyond the branch personnel seems to understand or take any responsibility for the negligence of the bank in breaking their own rules. Custodial accounts are set up to protect the money from underage individuals without the maturity to manage money. This has been a monumental breach of trust. I ca n't imagine we are the only people this has happened to. I believe the bank should restore the funds to the account, regardless of whether they can get the money back from the end recipients or not.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Complaint: I pre viously had a American Express p referred cash credit card. Before I made a decision to cancelled my credit card, I called AE customer services several times regarding the reward dollars and the positive account balance. I got positive answers about I could get my reward dollars back and the account balance back. Then, Icancelled my card. Later, I did get my account balance back through check. However, I did not get my reward dollar at all.     I contacted customer service for several times again. This time, I got very different answers. They said that for reward dollars lower than {$25.00}, I could not redeem them at all. As my account has {$19.00}, there is no other way for me to redeem it.     I do n't feel very comfortable by this answer. First, this is not what I was told before. Secondly, it simply saying that I am going to lose my reward dollars which should also belongs to me as well.     I would appreciate a solution for it.

Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: Good afternoon, I filed for chapter XXXX bankruptcy protection in XX/XX/XXXX and included my CitiMortgage XXXX mortgage as part of my debts in that process. 
XX/XX/XXXX, nearing the end of my repayment program, CitiMortgage offered me the opportunity to be part of a loan modification program that would allow me to get back on track with payments. I successfully made the 3 trial monthly payments for XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, signed the agreement paperwork which outlined the permanent terms for the remainder of my mortgage payments and was enrolled in the program. 
Out of the blue on XXXX my CitiMortgage discharged my mortgage and they have refused to make good on the terms set forth in our legally binding agreement of XX/XX/XXXX and with that my credit rating has further suffered due to their negligence. 
I will be happy to provide my bankruptcy attorney 's name and contact information as he too has tried to assist to no avail.

Consumer complaint received 10-05-2017 about Debt collection (Medical debt) with American Collections Enterprise, Inc. (VA).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language

Complaint: I called to setup payment and during the process I was asked few questions about address, card information and phone number. In addition to that the rep started asking for current employer and other details which I was not comfortable to answer. I declined it, and I told him I wonder why you need all other information and is it a standard practice. I was told yes, and I asked can you please share your compliance / data collection policy for my reference. The rep immediately told me he will transfer to someone in the compliance department. I asked for the same and expressed stating that it is not required to ask these questions. She told me immediately that you wanted a " free service '' sir and so you do not want to give information. This was an accusation and told her we changed our homes and somehow it bill got slipped off. This is the reason why I called to pay it off and i am glad you have called to resolve this. She continued to act rude and make statements which I never experienced before. This is unacceptable for any consumer to get treated like this. It is a simple question and she could have answered. Now, I would like to see their data collection policy which she declined to share. Please bar these types of companies. Her name XXXX XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 05/31/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with AES/PHEAA (NJ).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint: I am in the process of my fourth and final year of my   XXXX   XXXX   obligation ( I literally would be done with   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  on   XX/XX/XXXX  ), but as of  XX/XX/XXXX ,   my grant (  XXXX  ) was turned into a loan ( with an interest aroun d 7,000 ) due  to not turning my paperwork in on time. The reason I did not turn the form in was because last year I had an awful time with it. I sent it in 4 times before they approved it because they kept saying that I could not put a future date ( I kept putting that I finish in   XX/XX/XXXX  even though they want the form in  XX/XX/XXXX  ) s  o  this year, I decided to wait until the year was finished to turn in my paperwork because I thought the due date of the form was a mistake on their (  Fedloan 's ) part. I have attached the form and on page 2 y ou can see where they ask for the to and from dates.   To be honest, I 'm devastated, because this grant has basically determined my whole pas t 5-6 years. I added   XXXX   XXXX   to my degree to receive the  grant, I moved to certain locations to work at a  XXXX  that is   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  accepted and I only took on positions that aligned with the requirements of the   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  only to lose everything I worked for over a form. When I called to try to work this out, they brushed me off as if this was no big deal and acted like I had no options and that this was a done deal.   I guess I am e-mailing you just to see what you think my next step should be or if you know of any contacts at the federal level that could help me with this.
