Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I purchased my property in XXXX and refinanced it in XXXX with Wells Fargo. In XXXX I was falling behind in payments and was offered a modification with Wells Fargo. I have made the payments from XXXX to now and have fallen behind a couple of times in the XXXX plus years but have managed to pull through. I am in the process of selling the home and requested a payoff. The payoff provided is more than the refinanced amount of the property from XXXX. When I log into my Wells Fargo account it has a maturity date of XXXX/XXXX. It seems impossible to believe that a modification from XXXX with a 40 year term was not predatory. It's upsetting that I have been paying on this property for over 20 years and my payoff on this loan is more than the original amount. Please advise if I have any recourse. I have all the original documents from both the purchase, refinance and modification. 

Thank you!

Complaint narrative:
I am writing this letter to bring a serious issue to your attention regarding the non-reporting of my paid-off loan by the credit bureaus. 

I had a loan from XXXX, which I have completely paid off as of XX/XX/24 in the amount of {$48000.00}. However, despite making several requests, my credit report does not reflect this crucial information. This non-reporting is adversely affecting my credit score and thereby my capacity to secure future credit. 

Under the United States Code Title 15, Section 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ), it is stated that a person who furnishes information to a consumer reporting agency regarding a delinquent account being placed for collection, charged to profit or loss, or subjected to any similar action shall, not later than 90 days ( certified mail tracking number in attachment ) after furnishing the information, notify the agency of the date of delinquency on the account. This implies that it is the duty of the XXXX to inform the credit bureaus about the status of my loan and it is the responsibility of the credit bureaus to update this information promptly and accurately. 

Unfortunately, this has not been the case with my situation. Despite having fulfilled all my financial obligations, the credit bureaus have failed to accurately report this, thus infringing upon my consumer rights as per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

I kindly request the CFPB to intervene in this matter and ensure that the credit bureaus rectify this error promptly. I am attaching copies of the loan settlement documents as evidence of my claim. 

I trust that you will address this issue expeditiously and ensure my rights as a consumer are upheld.

At least 6 months ago I came to title max to get a title loan for an emergency. There was a fill in person by the name of XXXX  who does not work for the company anymore due to being fired from my understanding, that did my contract. This is my first loan Ive ever had and probably will be the last. She didnt explain anything to me about how they do business, she never disclosed my annual percentage rate which is around 150 % and they never disclosed to me that out of the nearly {$500.00} that Im supposed to pay them every month, only about {$60.00} of it goes towards my actual account and {$440.00} of it goes to fees. I was never told anything about my contract, I wasnt even aware that I wasnt actually even paying this loan off hardly at all until 4 months into it and I still owed almost the same amount of money that I had taken out. I received a loan of roughly {$2000.00} for my 2010 XXXX XXXX title and I still owe roughly {$1700.00} even though I have paid them almost {$3000.00} to date. This loan is breaking me, if I was disclosed of title maxs practices during the time I took out my loan I would have never done it. Please help!

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.
