Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Closing an account — Funds not received from closed account
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I went into my bank to close my checking account and withdraw my existing funds. I was told that my account was on hold due to inactivity. This statement in and of itself didn't make a whole lot of sense. I hadn't used this account much over the years but my last transaction had been in XXXX of 2022. I was told that I needed to make some sort of deposit and that would unlock my account. I deposited XXXX dollar in cash. From there I was told by the personal banker that they were unable to issue me a cashiers check as there was a pending transaction. Once the transaction cleared they would mail me a check. A week and a day went by, no check in the mail. I went into the branch and requested that they cut me a check and was told that the check was in the mail and that by policy they couldn't cut a check unless 15 days had gone by. This is a ridiculous way to treat a customer of over 10 years who has never missed a payment on his mortgage or caused any issue.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I paid off my XXXX Comenity Bank account in XX/XX/2022 with a final payment of XXXX. When I call customer service they confirm that my account is paid in full and yet they started reporting that my account is 60 days XXXX due snd it is negatively impacting my credit. Apparently, they have acknowledged that theres a glitch in the system and that they will be correcting this in XXXX to 60 days and that many people are affected and they claim that theres nothing they can do to correct the problem immediately although theyve been sending false information which is especially aggrevious since I have paid my account in full and yet they claim that I am past due. I have worked hard to improve my credit and am applying for a loan and was horrified to have this appear on my credit report and no one willing to correct it when I contacted them today on XX/XX/2022

Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Gatestone & Co. International Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Beginning XXXX of 2020, I was contacted by a debt collector about my XXXX bill. I signed up for a payment plan and have made monthly payments without interruption for 2 years. I have foybd out the company is not part of XXXX XXXX but a separate debt collector ( Gatestone ). They have so far collected ( {$4300.00} ) which is MORE than the amount I owed XXXX ( {$3700.00} ). I have been unable to reach anyone at XXXX despite phoning every hour for days on end and weeks on end. Additionally, they have in the past taken more than the agreed amount and many, many times days before the scheduled payment date. I see the on time payments have NEVER been reported and show negatively on my credit report. I would like my score to reflect the two years of on time payments. I also am afraid I am being defrauded by a company that pretends to be XXXX and then is not able to be contacted. At this point, I do not know what they are doing with my money.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Applied for XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. My loan was then transferred from XXXX to XXXX XXXX and then to MOHELA ( since XX/XX/XXXX ). I received a letter from MOHELA that I did not qualify for XXXX in XXXX ( with no reason given ), so I phoned MOHELA and the rep indicated that my form was invalid because my employer name/signature was cut off. I had a copy of the original I sent with signature intact, so they put me through to a manager who said that all forms came that way from XXXX because they were reviewed and were preapproved. Since then I have had to call MOHELA repeatedly because they were not posting my payments. For about 2 months only 12 payments posted. I asked that they request my records- they did, then 120 payments posted in XXXX with XXXX of these ineligible. All payments between XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX were missing/not posted, but the deferment periods from this time frame were posted. My servicer was XXXX XXXX ( now defunct ) from XXXX so I reached out to all of my past loan servicers to get the XXXX records and complained to XXXX. of XXXX that they were missing. I just received these records from XXXX ( who previously insisted they did not have them and did not provide them in a previous mailing ) via postal mail on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX. Today, I took off work to call MOHELA and have now spent 7.5 hours on hold. After a lengthy wait, I speak to the rep ( always in training ) and they hear my request and refer me to a supervisor and I am on hold indefinitely. I am in the second round of this and about to hang up and redial since I have been on hold waiting for a supervisor with no contact from MOHELA for 3.5 hours. I have roughly 160 eligible payments for XXXX and can not seem to get MOHELA to acknowledge and count these payments. I am due a return on the overage of payments and am in a holding pattern until they actually count all of my eligible payments. Thank you.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back.
