Consumer complaint received 12-07-2017 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with CITIBANK, N.A. (VA).
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Fee problem

Complaint: Ive been with citibank since XX/XX/XXXX and renew the account because citi was not able to fix my issue from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX for the files of their server being corrupted. In XX/XX/XXXX i kept getting these checking fees {$30.00} and other random fees just to have standard checking account. I was qualify for the citigold. And they state i qoute {$50000.00} was the minimum requirement to keep this checking account free of charge in one year span. If the minimum has not met before the year to date, they will cancel the gold and put me back to priority stage. My experience in citi gold is that why would you change the minimum {$100000.00} with out consulting with me when they know i dont even make that amount in a yearly salary during applacation process. The minimum was changed during the middle of the program without notice. Thats not even in their contract mentioned that the minimum may vary or anything about changing the minimum without notice. I thinks thats unfair for people whos trying to save money and have life and family.

Consumer complaint received 11/15/2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with LENDER LIVE (MN).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I became behind on my mortgage payments due to loss of income in the home. In XXXX 2015 I met with and discussed my options with a foreclosure program for my area. I filed the borrower response package to my mortgage lender per the suggestion of the the foreclosure prevention program. I received notice in mid XXXX that in order to process the loan modification request they needed more verification 's, I sent in the requested verification 's via fax. I had n't been sent a decision of my request but found out on XXXX XXXX, 2015 that my home had been sold at a sheriff 's sale on XXXX the XXXX. I have researched what I did wrong and other than falling behind on my payments I followed the procedures that I was supposed to to prevent the sale of my property. Once the request for loan modification/ partial forbearance of my FHA issued loan the foreclosure process should have been suspended until they fully processed the request. I also was not given a chance to appeal their supposed denial of my request because I did n't receive the denial. According to the law I was n't given the opportunity to save my home like I should have been able to. Since the request for loan modification I have been setting aside what would have been my loan payments in good faith that my situation would be given the consideration that it is supposed to under the law. I would like assistance to get the sale overturned and the full opportunity to save my home.

Consumer complaint received 05/18/2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with National Credit Systems,Inc. (NC).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint: I am requesting that this claim be removed from my credit report. 
The creditor 's claim was made on XXXX 2010 ( over 6 years ago ) and I never received documentation on this claim. I have XXXX debt collection agencies requiring payment for the same claim originally sold to them by XXXX XXXX XXXX of Alabama. I have verified over the phone with both debt collection agencies that the claims are from XXXX XXXX XXXX and for the SAME CLAIM made by XXXX XXXX XXXX. In order to verify this in documentation I have pursued National Credit Systems seeking documentation on the claim. These are the steps I have taken with National Credit Systems : 1. I have never received any documentation on the claim from National Credit Systems, they are required to send me documentation of the details of the claim made. 
2. I called National Credit System 's home office and spoke to a representative requesting documentation of their claim, verifying my current address. No documentation was ever sent to me. 
3. I sent a letter ( attached below ) requesting documentation of claim XXXX within 30 days requiring they remove the claim from my credit report if not received. No documentation was sent to me. 
4. After 30 days of the first letter I sent a second letter ( attached below ) again requesting documentation or claim XXXX or to remove the claim from my report. No documentation was sent to me. 
5. I contacted National Credit Systems over the phone and spoke to a representative requesting documentation, I also informed them that another debt collection agency was seeking payment for the same claim and they needed to be contacted. Again no documentation of claim XXXX was ever sent to me. 

The original claim made by XXXX XXXX XXXX in 2010 was that I had not given them proper notice to end my lease ( 60 days ). I gave them a 30 day notice before my lease agreement ended for job transfer to another state. I forfeited my deposit to them for this reason and they still attempted to require of me moneys even though the deposit would cover the extra 30 days rent. I never agreed to their pursuit of extra rent money and thus they sold the claim to XXXX different collection agencies. 
The original claim made by XXXX XXXX was erroneous and National Credit Systems was required to send me documentation of this claim and never did so. Please remove this claim from my report. Thank you

Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect

Complaint: I received a loan from  One Main Financial i n Louisiana on   XXXX   XXXX    2017.  I was not informed what pre computed interest meant exactly. My loan interest is over 20 %.

Consumer complaint received 09-10-2015 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (FL).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: I filed bankruptcy XX/XX/XXXX and several debts that were discharged now show they were " charged off '' after the bankruptcy. My disputes for each account to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX credit reporting agencies as well as attempts to resolve directly with the creditors have failed. Each agency and creditor refuse to correct the information and cite that it is " accurate ''. These accounts were not charged off prior to my bankruptcy. They began reporting a charge off after my bankruptcy. This results in each of the accounts being identified as derogatory with a charge off after my bankruptcy. This is a significant factor for lenders who review my credit report because they see accounts " charged off '' after bankruptcy which is misleading as to my credit worthiness. It is my understanding that the creditors may charge off an account after bankruptcy for their internal accounting purpose, but reporting a charge off after bankruptcy is a violation of credit reporting and bankruptcy statutes. I have sent correspondence multiple times, return receipt requested, with specific information that should be corrected. It remains in error and at this point they refuse to further investigate despite my repeated attempts. The credit agencies and creditors have also ignored my requests to provide their methods of verification after my disputes under the FCRA, Section 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) and ( 7 ) ; it is my position that neither are unable to provide a method of verification because they are unable to do so. I have repeated the process of dispute when these charge off were reported after bankruptcy for each creditor that is reporting a charge off. Some are not only reporting a charge off after bankruptcy, they changed payment history to reflect a charge off prior to bankruptcy which is untrue. Prior credit reports show that the accounts were not charge off prior to bankruptcy. The credits retroactively changed payment history to charge off after bankruptcy. The creditors who are engaging in these actions XXXX. For example, all of these creditors are reporting that the account was charged off in XX/XX/XXXX -- -after bankruptcy. XXXX specifically retroactively entered charge offs prior to bankruptcy when accounts were not in charge off status.

Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX {$680.00} Neither the collection agency or the bureau XXXX has validated the debt. <P/>Under Equifax it says the account name is unknown the only thing that was close to matching the debt under XXXX is the dollar amount and the incomplete account number and under XXXX the account name is XXXX XXXX XXXX  limited again the only thing close to matching the debt under XXXX is the dollar amount and the incomplete account number

Consumer complaint received 03/16/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with NELNET, INC. (TX).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint: I spoke with a representative with NELNET in regards to eleven " Late 120 days '' accounts currently being reported to credit bureaus in the amount of {$0.00} past due. She stated that my account has not been with NELNET since XX/XX/XXXX, however they are still going to report late payments for the next 7 years. It is XX/XX/XXXX and I am being penalized for consolidating my loans with a different servicing company. This is extremely unethical and unfair for someone who is paying their student loans on time monthly but is still being reported for a XXXX balance, for XXXX separate accounts, by a company who no longer has access to your account.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint: This is the 2nd consumer protection request! I received an alert from Experian that I had a new account reported from University XXXX. I have no affiliation with this university. I attempted to contact the University XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I was told that I was not found on their system.

Consumer complaint received 09-09-2017 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: Problem canceling credit monitoring or identify theft protection service

Complaint: Less than XXXX hours ago on XXXX XXXX, XXXX I responded to the news of Equifax security breach. I only learned about this on this day and responded by checking my information on their site. They indicated I was most likely affected. Even though I have a monitoring service through XXXX, I checked the box on Equifax. I saw no language or conditions about waiving my rights to sue or for extended paid services from Equifax. i tried calling them all day w/o success and they seemingly disable the contact us feature on the site. I feel this is an unlawful and unethical approach to this matter and I do not wish to have this service and do not give up my constitutional rights to anything. I also feel I am protected under California law in this regard. I simply wish to disengage in what they are trying to pull and agree to nothing from them. This is highly underhanded and unethical on their part. Equifax has made it impossible for consumers to reach them and all you get is a runaround.
