Consumer complaint received 2018-03-28 00:00:00
Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Billing problem
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased a new vehicle and financed a small portion of the amount. I received an introductory letter from the company which indicated I could set up auto payments, which I immediately did through the loan company 's website.

In early XX/XX/XXXXI received a statement from them indicating I missed my payment and there was a late fee charged. On XX/XX/XXXX I called up the company to straighten this out. Their representative looked up my account and said I was not in their system for auto pay. I then made my payment on the phone, including the late fee, which I asked to have removed and they refused to do. I then had this person assist me in setting up the auto pay. Once it was all set up, this individual put me on hold and checked the system to make sure I was set up in the auto pay program. They came back on the phone and informed me everything was set up. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called again and asked the person who answered to make sure I was set up in auto pay. They put me on hold to check. When they came back on, they informed me I was not set up with their autopay system. This sounds like a scam to make more money by charging late fees.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing this letter in regards to one of the transitions via Paypal. I sold a pair of XXXX shoes on XXXX and the seller disputed immediately after she got the shoes, accusing the item not as described. I am asking for a fair investigation I have listed the picture of XXXX selling page. Unfortunately without investigation, Paypal refunded the buyer without returning my shoes. In the appeal case, Paypal said my shoes is unauthithc. The truth is I bought the shoes from XXXX XXXX and I attached the receipt and credit card statement for the transaction. Besides, Paypal locked my account, and now I dont have access to use my money on the account. 

I have been treated unfairly and to an extent been bullied in this case. And I am not the only seller who has been deprived equal rights in defending ourselves. I am speaking out in hope to save thousands of small business owners like me and to strive for a fair and just online business environment. 


Sincerely

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Today I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , Ca . ( Re : XXXX XXXX XXXX vs XXXX XXXX ) informing me that I owe {$2600.00} to the XXXX XXXX XXXX. When I called they informed me that it concerns a debt owed by me that went delinquent in 2005, 13 years ago. To be honest I don't even recall this debt. Can this company try to collect a debt, real or unreal after so many years? Can they hurt my current credit rating which is excellent? 
I am also wondering about the legality of this company trying to collect a supposed debt that's 13 years old. 
Kindly advise XXXX XXXX

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, I called XXXX XXXX XXXX to close my account and I paid my balance off in full. When I closed my account, there were no remaining charges. 

In XXXX, after receiving a bill in the mail saying that I was late on a payment, I called again to confirm that my account was closed. I was then told that my account had not been closed, which was very frustrating. The person I spoke to removed the charges that had accrued. He also told me to follow up in two weeks to ensure that the derogatory late payment remarks were reported as an error to the credit bureaus. I was told then it was taken care of. 

Currently, the late payments for XXXX and XXXX are still on my credit reports, even though XXXX XXXX XXXX recognized the mistake that had been made on their part by continuing to keep my account open. One representative I spoke to listened to past recordings from my conversations where XXXX -- XXXX XXXX admitted to the error and said they would remove the derogatory late payment remarks. I have written to them and filed disputes with the credit bureaus and XXXX has not yet reported the correct information to the credit bureaus. 

I also received a letter from XXXX -- XXXX XXXX datedXX/XX/XXXXthat says my account balance has been {$0.00} since my last payment of {$350.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. The late payment derogatory marks being reported to the credit bureaus are from XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. If I have had a {$0.00} balance since XXXX, how could I have late payments in XXXX and XXXX of that same year? 

Thank you for your help in this matter.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I made my yearly purchase from XXXX XXXX with my XXXX card as I have for the past few years. I use my XXXX card only to get the points then I pay it off with the bank account that is connected to my XXXX card online. In XX/XX/XXXX I went to the XXXX XXXX website to make full payment. I proceeded to make the payment, received the thank you for the payment page and noted my personal budget/bill sheet as paid. On or about XX/XX/XXXX I received an email that my account was 30 days past due. I immediately made a phone call to ask why. I was told that it had been reported to the credit bureau as a 30 day late pay 2 days prior to the email I had just received. I explained that I had made that payment back in XX/XX/XXXX and had not gotten any email or late pay notice until that email that prompted the call. During that call full payment was made to XXXX and all late fees were refunded by XXXX. I disputed with XXXX XXXX/XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and then again around XX/XX/XXXX. I also disputed 2 times with TransUnion and XXXX. This is clearly a system error of some sort which is obviously not an item that can be " proven ''. The only response I'm getting from XXXX is that if there is not proof of it being " their fault '' there is nothing they can do. I debated that a " fault '' of a system error is impossible for the consumer. My credit has been in perfect condition for many years now and this is the one and only blemish, reducing my score by more than 50 points. I am asking XXXX to simply make a courtesy credit removal due to some sort of system error. I have also consulted a credit repair company that advised I try once again to remedy it with XXXX XXXX/XXXX XXXX and then proceed to file with the CFPB, OCC, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and social media negative blitzes. I shared with XXXX the steps I was going to take and they did not care. I am in awe of how an error of this sort can have such an impact on a consumer with zero path for the consumer to be protected or heard and treated as a human being instead of a number or piece of paper.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Experian refuses to remove an inquiry dated XX/XX/XXXX on my credit report on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX. I've contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX who apologized for the hard inquiry ( I didn't give them permission to pull my credit ) and promptly submitted an electronic request to the three credit bureaus to remove the inquiry from my credit file on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX and XXXX removed the inquiry within 30 days, and Experian did not. I contacted Experian SIX times between XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, asking for an update and trying to understand why they hadn't removed the inquiry. They replied they didn't receive the information from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I promptly uploaded a copy of the letter sent to me by XXXX explaining that they would send a request to the credit bureaus to update my credit file, and have had them resubmit the request over SIX times ( every time I spoke with Experian and they denied seeing the information ). Experian keeps saying they don't see the information from XXXX, every time I call XXXX they pull up the dates that they've sent the request. I'm at a complete and utter loss as these two companies keep having me call each other and they keep blaming each other for as the source of the problem. This is a complete violation of my rights, and XXXX did not have the right to access my report. Please help me.

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Applied for a home mortgage thru Quicken Loans ( Rocket Mortgage ) in early XXXX this year. I was contacted by XXXX XXXX and I explained what I was trying to accomplish. I needed a conventional 15 year loan with 20 % down ( {$150000.00} home value and me putting down $ XXXX ). My son and his family were to be my " renters. '' XXXX told me no problem, that my loan was approved and to proceed in finding the house. We used their real estate agent and followed all the rules and procedures asked of us. It wasn't until XXXX was off that XXXX XXXX contacted me with an email telling me that an offer I had submitted on a house was accepted and it was during this process I found out that Quicken Loans now wanted 25 % down to get my loan. They baited me and then moved the goal posts at the last minute. I wasted 6 weeks and now I have to go thru another mortgage company and start from scratch. My wife and I have credit scores above 800 and own our home. I'm confused as to why they are allowed to do these types of practices. I'm out {$150.00} for a contractual obligation to the owner of the house who took his home off market.
