Consumer complaint received 2022-10-31 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
Equifax had a data breach and I was one of the victims. 
So I have had all my accounts with them show delinquent which is incorrect. 
None of my accounts are delinquent and all have been paid to a XXXX balance. So all of my accounts needed to be corrected and show no late paymets as well as no balance is due on any of my accounts. All my accounts have a XXXX  balance. 

In XXXX of XXXX, Equifax announced it experienced a data breach, which impacted the personal information of approximately 147 million people. A federal court approved a class action Settlement that resolves lawsuits brought by consumers after the data breach. Equifax denied any wrongdoing and no judgment or finding of wrongdoing was made. 

If you are a XXXX XXXX, the deadline to file Initial Claims Period claim ( s ) for free credit monitoring or up to {$120.00} cash payment and other cash reimbursement passed on XX/XX/XXXX. 

The S

ettlement is now effective. If you you requested a cash benefit during the Initial Claims Period, the amount you receive may be significantly reduced depending on how many valid claims are submitted by other class members. Based on the number of potentially valid claims that have been submitted to date, payments for time spent and alternative compensation of up to {$120.00} likely will be substantially lowered and will be distributed on a proportional basis if the Settlement becomes effective. Depending on the number of valid claims filed, the amount you receive may be a small percentage of your initial claim.

Extended Claims Period Claims If you were impacted by the Equifax data breach, you may seek reimbursement for valid Out-of-Pocket losses or Time Spent ( excluding losses of money and time associated with freezing or unfreezing credit reports or purchasing credit monitoring or identity theft protection ) incurred during the Extended Claims Period if you have not received reimbursement for the claimed loss through other means.

To be eligible, your claim for Out-of-Pocket Losses or Time Spent must occur between XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a loan at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for the purchase of a new XXXX XXXX XXXX. The advertised rate on the loan was 4.9 % for 84 months. 

When I received the approval back from Chrysler Capital, they only would allow the 4.9 % rate for 72 months. I reached out to several representatives from the company and they gave me the excuse that they are only an " indirect lender '' and that all decisions are made by the dealer. 

It is important to note that I was also shopping for a XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX approved me for 4.9 % for 84 months. I explained this to Chrysler Capital when they tried to tell me that the approvals are based on several factors including " creditworthiness ''. It is important to note that I did report Chrysler Capital on a previous occasion for similar deceptive practices. I filed report # XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX with the CFPB. 

It is also important to note that because of their refusal to provide financing at the advertised rate, I needed to secure financing through my local credit union. As a result, the price I was required to pay for the vehicle was {$2000.00} higher because of missed rebates.

Company: BSI Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX, BSI assumed my mortgage loan. The payment due was {$1700.00} for XX/XX/XXXX. I continued my previously scheduled payment of {$3000.00} dollars, which BSI applied the overage to XXXX 's payment and charged interest. I contacted BSI via telephone and asked that they deduct all overages from the principal balance for the life of my loan. The overage was reversed. XX/XX/XXXX, an escrow refund in the amount of {$5100.00} was removed from my escrow account. I received that refund a month later after inquiring about the money being removed from my account. In XX/XX/XXXX, BSI once again elected to divert a payment without explanation. I contacted them via telephone again and requested that any and all overages are to be applied to the principal balance. This practice that financially benefits BSI is unethical and unwarranted.

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is a regards to pennymac. I just want to make sure everything is being complied the right way. On Friday XX/XX/XXXX phone call was made to penny Mac. Advising them that I was approved for the homeowner assistance fund HAF. I only contacted them, knowing a lot of complaints I heard with people who does have the penny Mac mortgage and who was approved for the fun what trouble they was experiencing. So I just wanted all the information to be noted in the account. So once I got myself verified I had my husband speak on my behalf. The representative gave my husband a hard time period stating that they don't believe that I got approve for this fund. Discouraging my husband and me, that they said the state don't depend on the state by sending any funds over. Is that they not reliable. That we still must continue making our payments regardless. The rep No compassional empathy on the situation. Acting like I wasn't gon na get this fund. That is a long process and I might not get approved for this fund. It was explained to her from the start, that we already got the award letter and got approved. That they was paying past and future payments. I just wanted her to put in a notes, when they get the XXXX  the money from the fund That it gets applied to the payments and not the Principal. The rep said that can not be done. It was told that if it goes to the principal we have to see if it gets approved to move its to payments. That I found was ridiculous. If this post was pay all the payments back and post the pay my future payments for the next 6 months why can't it be apply to my payments. I only filed this complaint due to what the representative has stated. It made it seem like they are not gon na comply and put the money towards the payments.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX My wife has fixed rate interest with citizen bank 4 % for 10 years agreement. 
Based on the agreement it will be 4 % per year but now citizen bank charged 4.750 %. 
I called to ask why it more than that we agreement. The representative said that the interest rate will base on federal interest rate not citizen bank loan rates. 
Since the federal rate higher so my wife has to pay more. 
I feel that we have been missed leading from citizen bank because at the day my wife sings the agreement. The person who assistance us told us it will be no more than 4 % interest rate for 10 years agreement. She didn't say anything about the federal interest rate. I just learned from calling today. 
If we have XXXX versions of the agreement? 
XXXX, 4 % interest rate with the citizen bank. 
Second, Floating rate with federal interest rate. 
The citizen bank mislead us about the 4 % interest rate for XXXX. If the citizen bank put the Federal interest rate on everyone?

Complaint narrative:
This is not a duplicate complaint CFPB! I replied to lvnv/resurgent via email regarding an account they said I owed. In my email response I asked the company to send me verification of the said debt and I never received anything from them. I had a cfpb case regarding this issue in which the company responded stating the account had been sent back to the original creditor. I called lvnv/resurgent on the same day that I received their response to my cfpb report and a rep stated that the account would be deleted from my consumer reports however that has not happened to this day. Obviously the company was not able to verify the said debt so why has it not been deleted
