Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Lendmark Financial Services
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have asked Lendmark Financial numerous times to stop reporting erroneous information to all three major reporting credit bureaus. I have done this by telephone, direct disputes through XXXX XXXX, and XXXX, and certified ( signature confirmation ) mail etc.  Every single time they have told me that they are reporting factual information. This is not true since every report shows payment history completely different than the other. As you are aware, payment history constitutes about 35 % or your FICO credit score. Lendmark financial has an obligation to report factual information by law by terms outlined in the FCRA. I don't know how else to get through to them, the Credit Bureaus have not done anything on their behalf to even assist me with getting documentation from Lendmark that shows accurate payment history. I have had a home loan declined because of the severe impact of Lendmark financials improper practices.

Company: Coinbase, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My problem involves Coinbase ( who runs a crypto-currency exchange licensed under various state laws ). I am a New York resident. 

Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have lost access to my Coinbase ( https : //www.coinbase.comXXXX ) account and am unable to ( i ) withdraw my US dollar funds held by the company, and ( ii ) access the XXXX form prepared by Coinbase for my tax preparation. 

After numerous phone calls and providing the company with the various documentation that they requested, the call center representatives of the company refuse to take any meaningful action or give me an estimated timeframe regarding the resolution of the issue, beside saying that a specialist will handle my case, but they have large backlogs.

The problem was initially caused by the fact that my old mobile phone has been broken and I had lost access to my Multi Factor Authentication app. I was using 2 factor authentication via the XXXX XXXX app. 

The issue is simply a matter of identity verification. I have previously provided the requested ID documents, bank statements, utility bills, demonstrating my identity and address. Likewise, I continue to use the same mobile number and email.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I have requested validation of the debt XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX seeks to collect. I am not certain I actually authorized this debt for many reasons. I have not resided in XXXX, NE since XX/XX/XXXX this debt was accrued in XX/XX/XXXX. My wife is usually the responsible party for all medical matters as she is typically the one who takes the children to the doctor. The hospital had a bad address on file. The debt collector has been unable to furnish anything used to verify identity prior to providing services. The account information I have been shown does not have any of my personal identifying information. 

FURTHERMORE, the collection agency is trying to collect an amount that is inconsistent with the original creditor 's records AND they have re-aged the account to make it appear newer than what it actually is to cause maximum damage to my credit report. Both actions are violations of the FCRA and FDCPA.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
We have had a mortgage with Wells Fargo Bank for approximately 10 years and have never been late with a payment. In XX/XX/2015, Wells Fargo Bank alleged that our home insurance lapsed and attempted to force us to pay several thousand dollars for their " mandated '' coverage. We have maintained home insurance throughout the 24 years that we have owned our home ( changed mortgage companies during those 24 years ). Our current home insurance is through XXXX and we pay approximately {$1700.00} a year for coverage. When we sent evidence of coverage to Wells Fargo, the bank reduced the amount that they said that we owe for their " mandated '' coverage during the period that they said that they didn't have evidence of our home insurance to {$680.00} ( we sent evidence of insurance as soon as requested, but W.F. said that there was a period of less than 30 days that they would require their insurance ). We paid the amount which Wells Fargo held in Escrow for a year and then they swept the account. We believe that Wells Fargo made up the insurance bill, created an escrow that was bogus ( not used to pay insurance ) and stole {$680.00}. This morning in the XXXX XXXX Wells Fargo was cited by the CFPB for auto loan fraud. We believe that they are doing the same thing with home mortgage insurance. We would like the fraudulent bill reversed and W.F. Bank forced to pay its mortgage customers for insurance fraud that is eerily similar to their auto loan business.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
This is the second complaint to the CFPB on this death/assumption/modification closing. To date OCWEN has only retaliated for my complaint by changing the terms and transfering my deceased daughters loan which had been transferred to me, back into her estate? 

The loan was transferred to XXXX who is now requesting {$12000.00} which Ocwen claims to have forgiven : Current Terms were : Unpaid Principal Balance : {$21000.00} Interest Rate : 10.375 % Remaining Term : XXXX? 
Loan maturity date : XX/XX/XXXX Proposed Terms are : Unpaid principal balance {$33000.00} Principal forgiveness : {$9000.00} Amortizing unpaid principle balance : {$24000.00} BALLOON PAYMENT : {$4200.00} INTEREST RATE : 3.875 % REMAINING TERM : XXXX? 
REMAINING AMORTIZATION TERM : XXXX? 
Modification Effective date : XX/XX/XXXX? 
XXXX XXXX XXXX : XX/XX/XXXX I continually questioned the terms of the death/assumption/modification and finally received this unofficial non RESPA document. I was told that there was no BALLOON NOTE and all this information would change after the trial period? It was not changed but instead my daughters loan was transferred to cover up this disaster. In addition I was continually questioned as to where I got the document? So I gathered I was not supposed to know that I was being defrauded and taken advantage of. 

I was already promised by the OMBUSMAN department that they would adjust the junk charges added to my loan previously when this loan was paid off? Is it a technicality that transfer does not mean paid off? 

Ocwen is now requesting estate documents before they can talk to me ( letters attached ). Documents that were provided last year in order for them to provide a mortgage assistance acceptance form and final notorized borrowers acknowledgement ( both attached ). 

The payments are current to XX/XX/XXXX and all payments were made as agreed per the contracts we are into 6 payments and no one is paying attention. All documents have been provided after continually contacting OCWEN and finding someone who made sure I got the documents to notorize and finalize this transaction. Only to find that it has not been finalized because of the retaliation from the attempt to rob me and my deceased daughter with a pen. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP.

I have not received any notification by mail. It is not my debt, so make them stop calling me at work. My bosses and myself have ask them to stop calling me at work, but they seem not to care and keep calling even after the threat of hiring a lawyer to sue them. I won't have a job if they keep this up.

I contacted JJ Marshall on XX/XX/XXXX regarding a debt I was not aware of, I was only asked if I wanted a copy of the report. I told them at that time my husband would contact them. I decided to contact them again on XX/XX/XXXX the person I spoke with for the second time was rude, he also told me that my husband contacted them in XX/XX/XXXX and took full ownership for the acct in question. They have full knowledge that this acct does not belong to myself. I never had a joint acct with my husband anywhere. They are refusing to take it off my credit report, this is the first time that I was even aware it was on my report. I have had my report run various times in the past 8 months and it was not until I tried to purchase a house, that they showed up on my report.

Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX I had an initial discussion with an agent from Quicken Loans. During our discussion, I told the agent that I was interested in having an introductory conversation about refinancing my home loan. He asked to look check my credit, and I said ok. I figured since this was an early conversation only a soft pull to see my scores would occur. I was not under the impression this would be a hard pull on my credit report. As it turns out it was a hard pull and was reported to XXXX XXXX. 

I had a conversation with the same agent on XXXX and told him I was not ready to move forward as I mentioned on XXXX and I wanted to wait for my current mortgage statement. 

On XX/XX/XXXX my credit was pulled again by Quicken Loans without me being aware. This time it was pulled and reported to all three credit burrows. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I checked my credit report and saw all of this information and my credit score took a hit for 6 points. 

I feel that it should have been disclosed from the start what pull would be occurring on my account. If I would have known it was a hard pull, I would not have continued any conversation.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX cards ( specifically reward cards ) uses an archaic payment system which will not allow you to schedule automatic payments out past the current billing cycle. The system is set up that way because many people forget to log on each month causing a large late payment fee, typically over {$38.00}. During Hurricane Irma we were a bit discombobulated and I forgot to log on. In the meantime they hit us with late charges and would not ever consider accommodating the circumstance. I have not paid card in full and will no longer do business with a company that is set up to hit consumers with late fees when their system is not even up to date with the industry. Other consumers need to be aware of what they are getting in to.
