Consumer complaint received 2022-10-03 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
When I received the card, I used it and tried to make a payment on the website. The payments did not go through because there is a defect on the website that causes the account number to change when the ACH tries to go through, so the institution that the funds are requested from denies the request. 
I saw that there was an issue and called US Bank. After being on hold for over hour I was treated to a snotty support person who tried to convince me that I was doing something wrong. While on the call we WATCHED the account number change from what I had chosen from the drop down to another number. 
Finally, it looked like we got it to go through. That payment later failed with the same incorrect account number I continued to try to make payments, you can see it in my history. I called again and after being on hold to for over an hour I talked to web support. They told me that yes, there is a defect in the web site that is changing the account number. I was transferred to another agent who confirmed the defect. I asked if I could make a phone payment. This Customer Service Representative ( CSR ) said yes, but I would have to pay {$30.00} to do it. She said that was nuts, and she tried to do a warm hand off to another department where they could reverse the charge, but she did not take the payment from me because she thought it best if the other department took my payment, so they could make sure I wasnt charged. We sat on hold for another hour, then she suggested that I make the call myself, and she gave me the number, saying that it was a 24-hour number. NOPE, not 24 hours. 
I tried again to call the next day. I was on hold for 2 HOURS. Finally got through, to be put back on hold for an additional hour. I was told that it was fixed, and the payment went though my credit union, but did not post in a timely fashion. I was told that the reason for this was that I was late, so they had to wait for it to clear. I could see that the funds had left my Credit Union, and the CSR could see that the funds were indeed at US Bank. I was told that I could send a screen shot of my Credit Union account to an email address, which I did. I was told that to contest any entries to the bureaus I would have to send a letter in writing. The late fee was reversed ; however, I was still charged interest on an amount that should have been less if the website worked properly. 
Please consider this a formal request to have anything negative entered on my bureau reports removed immediately. I will pay off the card and be done with US Bank and any affiliates forever.

Company: VANDERBILT MORTGAGE & FINANCE, INC
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
My husband and I applied for a loan for a single wide to put in our property for our daughter and grandson to live in from Vanderbilt mortgage. We were promptly denied because our credit score was not above XXXX. It is for both me and my husband. My credit score is XXXX pts higher than XXXX XXXX stated mine was. My daughter applied and cant get the full amount financed so I agreed to co-sign. The request was denied, not based on credit worthiness but XXXX XXXX wont allow me to continue to own another mobile home ( which doesnt have a mortgage or any type of lien against it ). This is an unreasonable request and property that could be used to secure the loan. She has decided she is NOT going to loan to us regardless of credit score or credit worthiness and made that fact abundantly clear in our conversation today. 

It should be noted that creditworthiness or ability to pay is not an issue nor is it being considered. We have an annual household income of close to $ XXXX and no mortgage. The amount we are attempting to borrow is approximately $ XXXX.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have contacted Regions several times regarding the removal of PMI from my mortgage. Originally they told me after my Loan to Value reached 80 % or less, they would be able to remove PMI after 1 year from my loan origination. When I contacted them at my 1 year anniversary, they said that due to the pandemic, that the LTV requirement was reduced to 75 % or after 2 years since origination for 80 %. After my second year anniversary from origination, I called XX/XX/XXXX to prepare for my 2 year anniversary on XX/XX/XXXX. They then notified my that it was not the anniversary of the loan origination but from the date the first payment was made which was XX/XX/XXXX. 

When I called on XX/XX/XXXX, they told me that XXXX XXXX had valued my house so low that my loan to value is 98 %. They refused to give me any information on the value, how it was obtained or what it is based on. This is highly unethical as their information disputes all past and current valuations. Furthermore, they are charging {$150.00} to order a new appraisal. It would suit Regions to make it as difficult as possible to remove PMI as those payments go directly to their profits. 

They referred me to XXXX XXXX 's website for their guidelines but there are no guidelines I could find and no sources of their valuation. They then referred me to my original loan documents which would also not provide me with any information on their sources of valuation. Ultimately, they are not providing transparent process and information regarding my loan and creating barriers to removing unjustly fees that are no longer warranted. The representative I spoke with is named XXXX and he would not disclose the supervisor in which he consulted for his final answer. 

I suggest a deeper internal investigation as I suspect several consumers are facing the same unethical obstacles to retain fee profits.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 I received a " XXXX XXXX XXXX  hard credit inquiry that I became aware of based on an alert from my credit monitoring services via XXXX XXXX and XXXX. I pulled the hard credit inquiry contact information from my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( see attachment # 1 ). The " XXXX XXXX XXXX  hard credit inquiry 's associated address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX with a phone number of XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX. Based on an internet search, this address and phone number appear to be a TransUnion affiliate ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) based on the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. See their XXXX  website : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ( see attachment # 2 and # 3 ). When I call the above number, a voice recording indicated that this was indeed TransUnion and referred me to XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX. I called TransUnion at XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX and in a text chat with a customer service representative named XXXX, they said this was a request via TransUnion from a third party ( XXXX, not sure who this could be and I do not recognize this entity ) ; however, they couldn't explain why the hard credit inquiry 's contact information is for a TransUnion affiliate in California. This is unusual and I frankly don't trust TransUnion 's current explanation. TransUnion provided me with a file number, which is XXXX ; however, they did not resolve the issues. I believe that TransUnion has mistakenly initiated a hard credit inquiry without my permission or consent and that TransUnion needs to resolve this as soon as possible. Thank you for your assistance on this matter!
