Consumer complaint received 2025-01-16 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Payment process
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Initially, I setup a biweekly payment, which included extra principal payments. Then I noticed Wells Fargo was not applying my payments to mortgage until the second payment arrived. Meaning I am accruing interest for 2 weeks, while they hold my payment including the extra principal payment. So, I switched to biweekly payment without extra principal payment. I feel even my biweekly payments should be immediately applied to the loan and not be held for 2 weeks. I am losing up to {$20000.00} or more over the life of the loan by the bank not applying my payment to the mortgage. The system also doesn't allow for scheduled principal only transfers to pay mortgage.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I have incurred. Despite having sufficient funds when the transactions were authorized. I was charged fees due to lagging posting of charges and credits. This issue aligns with the recent findings that the CFPD has discovered against Navy Federal Credit Union for similar practices, where transactions settled with sufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe that these practices are unfair and request an investigation into my account transaction.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelles handling of disputes, particularly in light of recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and tracking these funds were unfeasible. The CFPBs findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to the scam. This lack of transparency and accountability is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Company: FirstCash, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I pawned my things and spent over a year paying interest on it which probably exceeded the loan. I was out of town for a funeral and my loan was past due. When I made it back I was told I could rebuy my items for current value which was more than double my loan amount. I tried to put some items in layaway but they stated it had to go in someone elses name. I tried reasoning with store manager name XXXX at the time but he said I needed to pay {$4400.00} for a purse I paid {$1700.00} for that had the receipt inside because the current market value was {$4400.00} online. I lost all my things because I could not afford the ridiculous buy back amounts. I had no ideas I could file a complaint about this. Because he was the store manager I was told nothing could be done because he made the final decision.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has failed to fulfill its legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information on my credit report, leaving inaccurate or unverifiable accounts unresolved. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has recently filed a lawsuit against Equifax, alleging systemic issues such as failing to forward consumer-provided evidence to furnishers, accepting unreliable responses, and failing to adequately notify consumers of dispute outcomes. These failures align with my experience, where Equifax has neither corrected nor removed disputed items despite the evidence I provided, causing ongoing harm to my credit standing. I am requesting immediate corrective action to remove or amend the disputed accounts, as Equifax 's inaction violates federal law and my rights as a consumer.

They alleged the company of accepting unreliable information, failure to notify consumer dispute results. This aligns well with my situation! Experian has not attempted to remove, nor correct any information. I'm requesting this derogatory remark be removed or corrected immediately as it's affecting my chances of getting a car. Experian and XXXX violates my rights as a consumer, as well as federal laws.
