Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue related to modification, forbearance, short sale, deed-in-lieu, bankruptcy, or foreclosure
Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I submitted a written request to close my escrow account and have the balance refunded to help lower my monthly payments. I explained that I am struggling to make my payments, and each month I am 30 days late, my interest rate increases from XXXX  % to XXXX  %, making it nearly impossible to catch up. 

Throughout XXXX, I made several follow-up calls, and I contacted customer service again on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Each time, I was informed by different agents that my request to close the escrow account was approved and the refund had been processed, but I have yet to receive the check. 

I then asked for my case to be escalated. A XXXX informed me that, while my request is still being processed and I do qualify for the refund, it is taking too long and was NOT yet approved. He said he would escalate the matter himself to expedite the process. 

At this point, it feels like there is no urgency from the lender, as they are benefitting from charging the default interest rate, and there is no rush to issue my escrow refund, which would help me get current on my paymentssomething I have repeatedly communicated to them.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in XXXX to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I tried to open a checking account in the US Bank Main branch in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX but they refused my application without any compelling reason. I tried to contact them several time, but I could not solve the problem. At the end they told me the reason is this : " No new account because of Sanction ''. Maybe because I am from XXXX. This is not acceptable to me, because lots of my XXXX friends open account in this branch during XXXX, XXXX, and after that. This is clearly a discrimination because they do not open the account just for me. I could get a bonus on opening the account, but I missed it because of this obvious discrimination. Customers are not important for them.
