My mortgage company has held/stolen {$89000.00} from me since 2013 and has failed to ever report this lump sum which was an overpayment of what was my principal balance. I am due a refund on the overpayment, I have tried numerous times to resolve this and they continue to lie and get away with it. My credit has suffered and I have experienced emotional distress. Four years is too long. Their attorneys have my money listed as a suspense amount, and even with that error-they at least have a better account of my not owing the fraudulent amount M & T Bank continues to report. I do n't owe them a dime, they owe me money and have gotten away with many violations of Dodd Frank/RESPA Acts including : pyramiding late fees, force placed insurance costs on vacant land that requires non, escrow mismanagement, misapplied payments and it goes on ...

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Transunion credit customer service refused to release a credit freeze which was placed on the account. The credit freeze has a pin number and when asked to remove the freeze or reset the pin the company refused to send a new pin to the address on record. After answering the security questions correctly, the company argued about the answers they were given. They wanted me to answer questions which were not security questions. They were not multiple choice questions to verify my identity. I was asked to tell them who I have an existing loan with, not a series of answers regarding which is correct. After answering correct, they refused to send a replacement pin or lift the security freeze.

Company: SUN WEST MORTGAGE COMPANY, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I have become extremely behind on my mortgage due to loss of employment. I was finally able to regain employment ( although still making a considerable amount less than what the mortgage was originally based upon ) and have applied for a loan modification which they have denied and are pushing to foreclosure. They stated that I did not have enough income but would not provide me with any actual numbers supporting the denial. I received a promotion at one of the 2 jobs that I hold which boosted the income. I sent in the documentation to support that new income yet they have not reviewed to see if that will allow for a modification. I call and if I am able to speak to anyone, I am just told that " there are no updates ''. Meanwhile, I am left with the assumption that my family will end up on the street.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My identity and personal information was stolen in XX/XX/XXXX. For months, I have battled phone calls from creditors and collections for accounts that were not opened by me. I 've had to work with these companies in order to close these fraudulent items. I have also had to file identity theft affidavits and police reports in order to get these things off my report. This has caused a huge amount of emotional turmoil in my life because of the fraudulent information showing up on my report. I am filing this complaint because there is a total of 31 inquiries on my Equifax credit report that I never made nor authorized. The person or people who stole my information have been making credit applications all over the place which has negatively affected my score. I am including a copy of an identity theft police report from the XXXX XXXX Police Department with more details on my identity theft. The following inquiries need to be deleted immediately as it was someone else who stole my identity that was making them : XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX,  XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX -XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX,  XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX,  XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX -XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/17 @ XXXX I made a CC payment of a parking ticket associated to SFMTA in lieu of receiving a " hearing to contest '' the citation ( XXXX ). The condition with SFMTA is that you must pre-pay the penalty to acquire the hearing. The amount was {$280.00}. The hearing was ruled in my favor, and the ticket was dismissed.
CITI CARD refuses to refund/reverse the charge, stating that I needed to provide a valid credit card slip. This is not possible since the merchant ( SFMTA ) did not provide a copy of the credit card slip when requested. The transaction was completed using a digital CC machine ( point of sale terminal ) at the customer pay window, and the only thing I received was a copy of the receipt.
I provided CITI CARD with copies of all supporting documentation, which included : - a copy of the ticket - a copy of the transaction receipt.
- a copy of the bill of sale - a copy of the letter I received stating that the hearing was ruled in my favor, thereby negating the validity of the transaction, providing proof that the amount needs to be returned.
CITI CARD is refusing to reverse the charge and directing me to " take it up with the merchant '' to achieve a resolution. It is my firm belief that the responsibility falls firmly with CITI CARD to protect/defend its customers from these kinds of local government merchants/organizations. It is not the customer 's responsibility to battle with the merchant ; it 's the credit card company 's responsibility to protect its customers.
So much for taking care of your 10+yr customer. Not acceptable. I will be taking my facts-supported situation to social media.

I informed him that I did not think this was legal coming into my place of business and he said it was and that he wanted to make payment arrangements or he would take me to court I advised him that I am filing bankruptcy and my attorney would contact him and he continued to collect and urged me to continue to pay outside of my bankruptcy. He did not ask me to verify who I was all he did was call me by my first name and I responded. He continued to collect in front of my peers as well as a passer by who stopped in the office. After multiple attempts of me telling him to please go though my lawyer he finally left. My business was discussed in front of many people. It was both unprofessional and embarrassing. I also believe this is close to harassment. I specifically asked if this was legal, as I know it is not, and he continued to berade me in front of my peers.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because TransUnion had a computer glitch that caused my inquiry to be deleted and then they later re-added the inquires without providing me with the legally required written notice five business days of the reinsertion ( FCRA Section 611 5 ( b ). I contacted TransUnion and spoke with several customer service representatives who were able to confirm that the Security Breach happened not once but twice in XXXX and XXXX. With good faith, I asked them to have the inquiry removed due to it being illegally re-added. However, they refused to fix their error on my credit report. I asked to speak with someone in the Special Handlings department and was left on hold for 45 minutes just to be hung up on. This is suppose to be a respectable Credit Reporting Agency yet they are violating consumer rights and victimizing us. This company should not be able to get away with this.

I told the guy who called me from XXXX that their was no way that could have happened, then he asked me why I was sending this money the way I did I explained to him that me and my children all sent my mother XXXX each pay there own sending fee, so change was to be made. My mother is having a hard time and we each pitched in to help her out with her morage. I was then informed by the guy that, I should be more careful.
