Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In conclusion, one online bank rep cost me a lot of money but this company cost me a great deal of time. 

One Friday in early XXXX, Ally Bank froze my debit card because of some {$3.00} charge I 've yet to see any proof of. When calling to unlock my card, I had to answer my series of five security questions multiple times before being informed my card would have to be replaced. I did n't have time to verify all my account information to get my card that night, and since the replacement was 7-10 business days away, I was in no rush for cash from them. 
I called back early the next week to try again. I got my replacement card mailed and I waited until last week to activate it. I followed the steps and the automated systems said it was active. I went to get cash and found it was n't working. When I called, a little irritated, I was told there was some issue and they would need to reissue another card. Another 7-10 business days! No thanks, I told them if they could n't get this resolved in this call I was going to another bank. 
They connected me to someone else, a 3rd person that morning, when this person asked me my security questions again. At that point in time the only point of view I had was " I verified my security questions with them 2 times, on this call alone, this is the 6th call I 've made to try and get money, this has to have been the 20th time I 've answered their questions and they 've done absolutely nothing, not one thing to make progress. '' I told them I was switching banks. 

I signed up for another bank but it was too late. The rep locked my account so all my debits failed, including checks on joint accounts. They put a lock and told agents not to handle that I had to call a number and speak to someone specific. 

This number did n't work but they were instructed I had to call from a number on my account and NOT TO TRANSFER. 

Essentially pushing me into a dead-end oath that cost me hundreds of dollars but more importantly, hours of my time. 

I really wish there was some way to hold them accountable so companies with online-only presences are n't exploited like this.

Complaint narrative:
According to the cfpb website, I have been eligible for PMI termination for quite some time. I called Specialized Loan Servicing and inquired about this and was told by the first representative that I had to have 80 % equity before I could drop my PMI. After researching your site, I called back and got another representative and was told that the aforementioned representative was incorrect and it was actually that my principal needed to be 80 % of the original value ( in other words I had to have 20 % equity ). I asked how much equity I currently had and was told almost 50 %. I explained to the representative that if that is true, SLS should have cancelled my PMI years ago. I was told a request to look into this matter would be sent in and someone would call me back within 10 business days. It has been more than 10 business days and I have not heard anything from anyone.

Issue: Unable to get credit report/credit score — Problem getting my free annual report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, The FTC has a website recommending XXXX credit report companies who are responsible for providing 1 free credit report each year. This government website ( https : //www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/0155-free-credit-reports ) links you to this website to get the free credit report : annualcreditreport.com. 

When you go to annualcreditreport.com, you can not access your credit report from any of the XXXX agencies due to various " errors. '' So the only way to get one is to pay {$1.00} by navigating directly to the website of one of the XXXX large credit monitoring companies. I recently had to do this. After receiving a PAID credit report from Experian ( for {$1.00} ), Experian without my permission began billing my credit card ( {$21.00} ) for a recurring subscription to a service that I never asked for. 

On behalf of all the consumers who rely on these XXXX big credit companies for fair and free credit reports, especially for those who are n't savvy enough or lucky enough to check their credit card history for fraudulent charges, please prevent Experian and the other large credit agencies from this type of blatant fraud. 

Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
In 2015 I refinanced my home from XXXX on a 30 year 4.2 % ( {$980.00} apx payment ) to a loan to my bank at USAA on a 15 year ( 2.8 % ). The estimated payment to the re-financed loan was provided to me at {$1500.00}, and just three months into the re-financed loan I received an " Annual Escrow Account Disclosure Statement '' showing that the company failed to include {$6200.00} amounting to a change of payment from {$1500.00} to a new payment of {$2000.00} ( which is a very significant increase ). There were numerous additional problems in securing the loan that I reported to USAA 's executive resolutions department including it taking over 8 months to lock in a loan rate, identified by USAA to be numerous lost opportunities. This feels like a " bait and switch '' in which I would never have agreed to a {$2100.00} mortgage.
