Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
This dispute pertains to a Credit Card with the USAA Bank Dispute For Credit Card Ending In XXXX USAA Dispute Case # : XXXX Credit Card # Ending In : XXXX Merchant Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Transaction Date : XX/XX/2018 Transaction amount : {$140.00} Disputed Amount : {$140.00} To whom it may concern : On the morning of XX/XX/2018 I was in XXXX, XXXX and I made reservations via telephone with XXXX XXXX XXXX to have a car reserved in the city of XXXX, XXXX where I was going to fly to later that morning. 
The reservation was made and upon arrival at the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX the car was waiting for me at their XXXX office. I paid {$130.00} USD ( {$390000.00} XXXX  Pesos ). 
Later in the evening while dining at a restaurant I checked my USAA application on my cell phone and saw in addition to the legitimate charge from XXXX another charge for {$140.00} from a merchant called XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I have NO IDEA who XXXX XXXX XXXX is as I never contacted or dealt with any merchant other than XXXX. 
I immediately called USAA 's international number and reported this charge to initiate a dispute. 
I did NOT on that day or any day before or after deal with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have no idea who they are or where the charge came from. I suspected at first that perhaps one of the XXXX workers at the XXXX XXXX was trying to possibly scam me since they were the only ones who had processed my credit card and BOTH charges appeared at the same time on the same day for the same type of service : A car rental. 
I do have the receipt from XXXX and have included a photocopy. The amount is in XXXX Pesos but a currency converter will show the US dollar amount. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX has NO locations in XXXX, as proven by looking at their list of locations on their website, the URL is provided here : XXXX XXXX XXXX Also, NO ONE will rent something as valuable as a car without having the renter fill out and sign multiple sheets of paperwork, therefore WHY DIDN'T USAA REQUEST SUCH DOCUMENTS FROM XXXX XXXX XXXX, the absence of which would have proven that I never dealt with them and that the charge is false?? 

I have proven with the XXXX receipt that I was physically in XXXX where I rented a car from XXXX and with the above link I have proven that XXXX XXXX XXXX does not even have locations in XXXX, yet they falsely charged me for a rental on the very same day I rented a car from XXXX in XXXX. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Hello. I recently just got off of the phone with a representative in the Equifax dispute department ( XXXX ) named XXXX. The time now is XXXX Eastern. This complaint is about a bankruptcy on my credit file that I have disputed via certified mail on XX/XX/18 asking for physical verification as I am entitled through FCRA Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), an original consumer contract with my name signed in ink. I am XXXX years old and have had a XXXX credit score recently with Equifax, there are a number of damages this has caused in my life. The company responded to my dispute by sending me a response letter dated XX/XX/18 that mentioned " this account was verified as belonging you to you, '' and also stating that they received this information from XXXX XXXX. I have spoken to the courts, they dont provide information to third parties, and my XXXX XXXX consumer file has been frozen since mid XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke to XXXX XXXX tonight and they assured me that with a frozen consumer file, no third party would have access to any legal information of mine. My complaint is not only did they not provide me with the physical verification as to this account actually belonging to me, but they said they verified through a frozen consumer report. How can that be? I would also like to mention that the Equifax representative hung up on me before I ever told her my name, I called back to verify her name was actually XXXX, which she answered the phone a second time.

Company: HYUNDAI CAPITAL AMERICA
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX sent our end of lease statement to an old address. the only way I found out about it a few months later was a negative impact to my credit, which was otherwise excellent. I called the customer service in XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to a representative who took my new address in order to send the statement to me. On XX/XX/XXXX I called customer service since I had not received the statement and the customer service representative said that the information had been inputted incorrectly by the previous representative, which is why I had not received it. In the meantime my credit had decreased another 52 points due to their error. I wrote to the credit dispute department on that day, XX/XX/XXXX, appealing for my credit to be restored. I also made a payment toward the balance at that point. I heard back 4 weeks later that they had denied my appeal. On XX/XX/XXXX I reached out to customer service again, as I still had not received my end of lease statement. I found out at that point that making payments toward the balance was not mitigating the negative impact to my credit, so I paid in full. I wrote another appeal to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Department to have my credit restored due to their mistake. They wrote back 4 weeks later again denying the appeal. I have yet to receive the statement, and have always paid every bill on time, but their negligence in not inputting the information correctly and getting me a copy of the statement prevented me from resolving this issue, and they are not taking responsibilty for it to date.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted separate, multiple requests via letter to Equifax Credit Bureau as well as each Creditor, requesting them to investigate several unauthorized hard credit inquiries that they have listed on my credit profile. 

I requested that they either provide me with physical documentation validating these inquiries, or, that they remove them immediately as they are damaging to my credit profile. 

The inquiries that I requested be investigated were as follows : XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) -XXXX/XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) -XXXX XXXX   XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I can not stress enough, not one of these hard credit inquiries were authorized by me. At no time did I give  permission to any of the above institutions permission to access my credit file. 

As noted above, on XX/XX/XXXX I requested Equifax to investigate. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an automated response via letter not informing me of any investigation process, but to inform me of how inquiries may have been added to my credit file. I did not ask them how inquiries may end up on my file, I asked them to investigate my unauthorized hard inquiries. 

Equifax did not investigate anything, they failed to move forward any due process in this matter. 

One Creditor also wrote me back in the mean time stating that they ( the creditor XXXX XXXX ) won't even investigate the inquiry and asked me to contact the Bureaus. So if XXXX XXXX wont investigate, obviously they can not verify the inquiry. With that being said, Equifax should remove it. 

Equifax is not doing what they are supposed to do. I am attaching the automated response they sent to me via US Mail, I am also attaching a letter that XXXX XXXX wrote to me stating they will not investigate anything.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I called Mr. Cooper/Nationstar about removal of PMI. They are requiring me to pay for an appraisal to remove. According to the HOPA at 78 % PMI is required to be removed. We are current on our mortgage. We hit this mark in XX/XX/XXXX. I just noticed that we are still paying this. I contacted Mr. Cooper and spoke with XXXX in their PMI department and she is having trouble finding a document that we signed at closing about PMI. We bought this home in XX/XX/XXXX. They are refusing to remove PMI until XX/XX/XXXX. This is way beyond the 78 % LTV. We bought the home for {$240000.00} and we now owe {$180000.00}. 78 % LTV would have been {$190000.00} based on the sales price of {$240000.00} which was the lesser of the appraised value. I am asking for help in resolving this matter, removing the PMI and getting a refund on the overage that we have paid. Thank you.

I called XXXX XXXX back in XX/XX/XXXX the customer service assured me that it was not them reporting this to the credit bureau, but the credit bureau reporting the information my account was not closed simply frozen until the program was completed.. I gave XXXX XXXX the opportunity to correctly report the information to no avail. For 3 months they continued to report a false status to the point of causing my credit score to drop 41 points from XXXX to XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX after I have been working diligently to reestablish my credit. I contacted XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX to address the issue, customer service informed they will keep reporting the account as falsely being closed even though it is only frozen until my last payment.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
1 ) XXXX XXXX ( current provider ) Complaint 1 : I have been trying to get my loan payments qualified for the service loan forgiveness program past 3 years. I have worked for an XXXX XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX ( since XXXX school graduation ) to currently, and I have made no progress, spending hours of time that I dont have on the phone spending over 20 hours on the phone w different operators. These operators keep giving me different information to resolve issue but when I call back due to denial or just bc I have heard nothing for months, there has been NO change. They have my payslip, employer verification and W. They refuse to approve all of my payments due to transitioning from paid training fellowship physician to practicing attending physicians where the tax id number 's change since I am paid from different pockets of the same academic institution at the University of XXXX. Complaint 2 I have requested payment history from XXXX and XXXX XXXX  through XXXXmy loan payment information, and that this information should be obtained by my servicer. 

XXXX and XXXX XXXX ( ACS XXXX ) - I have requested 3 times for my student loan payment history so that I can prove that I have made payments to qualify for loan forgivenentss. I have requested my payment history through XXXX XXXX ( current servicer ) 2 times and independently by requesting it directly to each of them. I have received no payment history in the mail. As a result I have no proof of payments that I have made since XX/XX/XXXX to 1 ) count toward Loan Forgivement Payment Plan and 2 ) qualify for interest forgiveness program. 

XXXX : I was disqualified for the interest forgive program because my loans from Direct Loans ( currently ACS ) was changed to XXXX. I was provided no notice in written manner or via telephone. I was working about XXXX hours per week taking care of patients in XXXX. I was contacted by collection agency via phone who informed me that I was delinquent. This is how I found out that XXXX was my new provider. I made several phone calls and there was not a SINGLE person who informed me of the implications of interest on my student loans being capitalized versus forgiven due to this late payment. My interest was therefore NOT forgiven and interest capitalized in addition to the principle because I was FORCED into taking a forebearance. I did not even know that I was disqualified of this program with ballooned interest as a result of this mishap in which there was NO communication or notice given to me that my loan provider had been changed.
