Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I paid XXXX XXXX  {$2000.00} to bring an account current, yet at the same time ( 48 hrs ) the account was reported as charged off. I was told by customer service that the status would be rolled back ( I have this conversation recorded ). Yet every call I make to them results in my being transferred to a call center overseas and people who claim to not know anything about it. I would think there would be notes on the account from customer service. I even offered to pay the balance in full immediately, even though the $ XXXX is more than the amount needed to bring it current. The account was late in the first place due to divorce and the ex emptying accounts. XXXX was aware of this, and I was told that the department needed was not open on weekends. They did not contact me via mail. They have my email and did not contact me there either, or via phone. I was told they had an old phone number yet I had updated it to the one I've had the last 7 or so years. I had an excellent history with them before this. Their reps in other countries contradict what they say and I have recorded countless calls with them where I get different information depending on who I speak to. This is misleading, fraudulent, and they should not be allowed to treat consumers this way. Especially a consumer who is not asking for a settlement, but who wishes to pay the full amount due. Their incorrect reporting will now result in my children and me having a difficult time securing a residence, and also impact my ability to get a job.

Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX immediately decreased my credit limit from {$5200.00} to {$4800.00} based on XXXX reporting a lower credit rating and provided notice after the fact ( " XX/XX/XXXX Credit Notification '' ). Subsequently, in a less than 12 month period, on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX again decreased my credit limit from {$4800.00} to {$4400.00} based on XXXX reporting a lower credit rating ( " XX/XX/XXXX Credit Notification '' ). However, the credit rating listed in the XX/XX/XXXX Credit Notification was points higher than that listed in the XX/XX/XXXX Credit Notification. Between XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, all payments were made on time without any late fees or penalties. The two credit limit decreases have had an overall negative effect on my credit score essentially dragging my credit score down even lower once the credit limit changes have been reported by XXXX XXXX. As a consumer, this is troubling that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is able to employ this tactic especially when a credit score has improved since the last decrease in the credit limit. I spoke to XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who not helpful and that it's XXXX 's policy and " nothing can be done. '' I have yet to see any language noted in the Credit User Agreement regarding periodic reviews of the credit account and decrease in credit limit related to changes in credit score reporting.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am contacting you about my Barclays XXXX XXXX XXXX. I think it is safe to say that they assume that customers are not capable of calculating what their interest rate is or how it is applied. They have been fudging the numbers on my account for a very long time by adding hundreds of dollars to the opening balance each month so that it is always different from the balance carried over after payment the previous month. For example for a balance of {$500.00} ending the month of XX/XX/XXXX with no other purchases they will make the opening balance {$590.00} plus the new interest charges for the month of XX/XX/XXXX. The interest charge is also doubled to twice the amount it should be. Each time you contact them they send a cut and paste response that does not address the thievery. You can never continue a conversation started because there is no way to reply. Instead the top of each of their replies start with " This incident can not be reopened or updated. If you need further assistance, please submit a new question by clicking the Ask A Question tab. '' The last reply I got onXX/XX/XXXX from them attempted to lie and explain the fraudulent interest calculation with an open sentence that they did not even bother to finish. " At this time we would like to confirm your interest charge is calculated using the average daily balance for the entire billing cycle and includes new purchases, it is not based on the beginning balance. The amount of XXXX showing on your statement under the 'Interest Charge Calculation ' section is the average daily balance for your '' I believe it is easier for them to steal from people with larger balances so they do so with reckless abandon leaving the consumer deeper and deeper in debt for the greed of inept corrupt government. Ending balances, payment made and statement information available if and when needed. Please assist. Thank you.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Roundpoint Mortgage ( RPM ), received the property tax bill for my home as well as the property tax bill for an additional small piece of property attached to my lot. There is no mortgage on that lot. It was a GIFT. I do not owe a mortgage on the property. I do not have an escrow account for that property either! 

RPM used my homes escrow account to erroneously pay the tax bill on the gifted land. I asked them to get a refund on that payment as it was not part of my mortgage or my escrow. They have the mortgage documents with the Tax ID for the mortgage and the escrow. They will not acknowledge the documents attached to the mortgage. 

I also asked them to get a refund on the delinquent bill they paid from the previous owner. I did not owe the tax bill for 2017 since I didnt own the property. They claim since the land has a delinquency on it that they are permanently attaching it to my mortgage and my escrow. The delinquency belongs to the previous owner. 

I have sent documentation that the mortgage held by RPM is for Tax ID XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX VA. They should only pay the tax bill for that Tax ID number. The bill they are also paying is for tax ID XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have sent documentation to show them this land was a gift and there is no mortgage on it. In addition to try and help me with RPM 's mistake, the county provided me with last years bill ( 2017 ) to show the delinquency isn't mine since I didnt own the property. The tax bill was in someone else 's name. 

I don't seem to be getting anywhere with this servicing company and I need help. My escrow is being used for a property that is not mortgaged and has no escrow account.

On XX/XX/XXXX, at about XXXX, I received a call from someone names " XXXX XXXX '' who claimed to be an independent processor. His number was restricted. In his voicemail, he claimed that he was going to serve me at my residence with papers and to call a company called " XXXX '' if I had any questions. The number given was XXXX, and he gave me a case # XXXX. A man answered the phone after about 2 rings ( I forgot to record his name ), and promptly put me on hold. When he returned, he stated that for privacy reasons that I needed to confirm my last four of my social, which he read to me. This was my first indicator of potential fraud as anyone could simply agree that was their last four. He then preceded to tell me it was from XXXX XXXX, who I have never had an account with, and that it was from XX/XX/XXXX ( 11 years ago! ). I notified him of the statute of limitations, and he quickly became defensive and rude. As I continued to talk to him about my doubt of their legitimacy, he became angry and hung up. After some research online, I have found that this company is notoriously known for attempting to scam people for illegitimate debt, and was advised to file a report.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I am contacting you about my Citibank Double Cash MasterCard. I think it is safe to say that they assume that customers are not capable of calculating what their interest rate is or how it is applied. They have been fudging the numbers on my accounts for a very long time. My card has an ending promotion period where the interest rate was 1.99 %. To mark this event my details show my last payment before the ending of the promotion period as $ XXXX making it seem as if no payment was received and the double interest to offset the double cash is in place to XXXX my account starting XX/XX/XXXX.  Their website used to automatically update customer balances as soon as you make a payment. This is no longer the case. I have not contacted them about this theft because I do not look forward to the upcoming lies. The objective is the same as other large banks. I believe it is easier for them to steal from people with larger balances so they do so with reckless abandon leaving the consumer deeper and deeper in debt for the greed of inept corrupt government. Ending balances, payment made and statement information available if and when needed. Please assist. Thank you.
