Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I was defrauded by XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, SC. A salesman made fraudulent claims regarding the deed I was purchasing. While in the sales office in XXXX XXXX the salesman had me apply for an American Express Hilton Honors Card which I was approved for. I was then convinced to charge as much money as possible on the card. Months later I had realized I had been defrauded when the timeshare was essentially useless, and did not fulfill a single promise made by the salesman. I hired an attorney to cancel the timeshare which has been finalized, but American Express has repeatedly denied my fraud claim for the initially charged down payment.

Company: GUARANTEED RATE INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I was completely misled about the services Guaranteed Rate ( " GR '' ) was able to provide. 

I began the refinancing process in XXXX on an investment property and was very upfront on the particulars of the transaction I was looking to undertake. Specifically, I let the lender know that I was refinancing an investment property that had been purchased a few months earlier ( XXXX XXXX ) in an all cash transaction and that I wanted to refinance to get take some equity out of the property and redeploy it into another project. I was assured that GR could handle this and proceeded to apply for a loan only to have my terms changed and delayed time after time to the detriment of my business and personal credit. The process was incredibly disorganized, opaque and basically made it clear that GR was NOT able to provide the financing they claimed the could and that they were not dealing fairly. 

It is important that other investors / borrowers know that Guaranteed Rate is misrepresenting their abilities as a Lender.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, and XXXX of 2017 by letter, I requested that the credit reporting bureau, Experian provide as they stated, and I was legally entitled to as they listed that they verified two public record bankruptcies with a third party vendor, I as allowed by law, the name and address of that vendor. In the meanwhile, I contacted XXXX XXXX a third party vendor used by some credit bureaus and requested information to see if they provided the information to Experian. The response after two mailing that my information was merged with two persons with the same name likeness, and addresses as I but it was corrected to remove those merged reportings. 

In my letter to Experian, I advised them that my information was merged with others with my same name likeness, except that name likeness is only the last name, in return Experian added those other name likeness to my credit file, and did n't removed the merged information, stating that they had verified with a third party vendor, but would n't identify the vendor. 

My conplaint is that Experian knows that my information is merged with others, and its a financial decision on their part not to remove the merged information, secondly after stating that I contacted on my own that its not XXXX XXXX that is providing the report, they double talk and still refuse to identify the third party vendor because in identifying the third party vendor, it would be verfieid that they are falsely reporting.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: ND

Complaint narrative:
I have a Citi ThankYou Preferred Card, and I think the way they apply my minimum payments is completely unfair. 

I have two different balances/amounts on this card, the first being approx. {$630.00} which is at 12.99 interest currently, when the 0 % promotional rate for this amount expired on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Now, the second ( newer ) balance is approx. {$3400.00}, from when I accepted a 0 % promotional balance transfer offer a few months ago. 

The problem is that when I submit my minimum payments to this card issuer, instead of applying the payment to the older balance ( the {$630.00} ) which has an interest rate of 12.99, they are applying basically the full amount to the {$3400.00} ( the newer one at 0 % ), so I 'm essentially stuck with the inability to pay off the part of my balance that is subject to interest. Unless I just get rid of ( transfer off ) the whole thing, which I would really rather not do, since I 'm getting 0 % on most of it.

Company: Seterus, Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I was notified on or around XXXX XXXX, XXXX, by a letter from Seterus, Inc., who at the time was the servicer of my mortgage loan, that this loan has been sold to and obtained by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX located in XXXX XXXX XXXX , Utah . I was told by Seterus , Inc., I would be contacted by the new servicer directly with information regarding the handling of my loan and were payments were to be sent. Seterus provided me with contact information for this new servicer and reached out to them directly via telephone to get a statement and additional information on how my payments would be handled. 

On or around XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received the requested mortgage statement which I am in the process of sending in the required payment. This Company says they are a servicing company for my mortgage, however, the several calls and phone messages that have been left at my home number the messages indicate this is a debt collector. I am taking issue with this especially since my loan is current according to the conditions of this transition period. Are they a loan servicer or a debt collector, I resent the calls which have been frequent especially since this is a newly purchased and transferred loan.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
This relates to public service loan forgiveness and credits for the 120 student loan payments that must be made. I am complaining again since the response by Fed Loan servicing was that they will send me a copy of a print out from years ago to address my complaint. Insufficient. I now attach a print out clearly showing dozens more payments toward public service loan forgiveness than the lender shows ( thus making it necessary fgor me to work YEARS LONGER ). I have made payments of over {$800.00} a month for years and have been forced into countless forbearance situations to allow the 3 different lenders servicing my loans since XX/XX/XXXX to address many transitions and failures along the way. I am not getting proper credit for payments I made. I want fed loan servicing to make adjustments to the credits for payments made during forbearance. I am NOT ASKING FOR CREDIT THAT PREDATE THE XX/XX/XXXX PROGRAM. Do n't make that part of your absurdly inadequate response. I can not get a record of payments before XX/XX/XXXX but just since then I show 41 full monthly payments made. I am showing 19 payments made. THAT 'S NOT EVEN 2 YEARS and is a joke as far as even closely resembling accurate records of my payments. It 's not even I request records going back to the beginning of my enrollment and for proper credits to be issued and for the errors of the lender to not prevent credit ( things like putting me in the wrong program, failing to notify of program changes, it taking 4 months to make a determination or a year to transfer records where during those times no payments would be credited ). I will have to join the class action lawsuit requesting judicial relief if this can not be resolved.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I was one of the millions of people whose information was leaked by Equifax due to a failure to use a software patch. 

Despite contacting them many, many times, I have been unable to get my credit frozen. 

Today, as per their instructions in response to my complaint XXXX, I called the automated system. AFTER I gave them my social security number, the automated system told me they could n't process my information. 

Why did they wait until I gave them my social security number? Are they stealing more information from me? Have they been hacked again? How am I supposed to get my credit frozen? 

I have tried and tried to contact Equifax, but the only numbers they provide are for robot-like representatives who just tell you how to freeze your credit, which does n't seem to work.
