Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a payment of {$1200.00} to Caliber Home Loans. This payment cleared by the XXXX. They are incorrectly reporting that this payment was over 30 days late pulling my Credit score down. They also did this in XXXX of XXXX.

In XXXX of XXXX Caliber also claimed we had no home owners insurance since XXXX of XXXX and that we were going to be charged a fine for this and we had 30 days to get insurance. We thought this was incorrect but got new home owners insurance which was effective XX/XX/XXXX. Then around XX/XX/XXXX caliber decided they were going to take out there own policy on us with our permission. So they caused us to have 3 active policies, and be charged a fine which sent our escrow plummeting. We contacted them to fix this and they still havent so we are paying an extra XXXX $ a month due to there error. 
Due to there repeated XXXX ups we are unable to get a new loan and are going into debt trying to keep up with the money they say we need to pay caused by the mistakes they made.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, I received an email from what looked like to be my mortgage officer about the closing of my house. The email had my officers email address, name, email format of the mortage company, my closing costs ( {$29000.00} ), and address of my house. I followed the instructions of this and made the payment cost for the closing of my house. 

On XX/XX/2022, my Mortage officer had called me and told me how I planned to send the money for my closing ( Keep in mind that the builder and mortage company did not tell me the exact closing date of my house yet, only the general time ). I was surprised because I thought I sent it, but apparently there has been a hacking and sending of fradulent emails within the company the past. The hackers had intercepted the emails of the closing ( included closing cost, address, etc ), and impersonated the people I was in contact with. They misled me into sending a fraudulent wire transfer through this, as almost everything seemed OK and only a few people had this information. This fradulent bank account was a wells fargo account. 

This has been going on since XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX, and they failed to inform me of this until XX/XX/XXXX, when I was too late to stop the wire obviously. 

I still filed this to XXXX ( my bank ), to recall the funds from wells fargo account ( fradulent bank account ). I also went to multiple Wells Fargo location, and managed to create a compliant to them to investigate this account, but they failed to freeze it and far as I know this account is still active. 

I believe that dozens ( maybe 100s ) of fake wells fargo accounts were opened up during this time period, and the closing/housing information of 100s of people who worked with XXXX XXXX were stolen by these hackers. My mortage officer and branch manager mentioned that several people, including myself, fell for this scam too. So many were affected.

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for a software subscription for approximately 6 months. I attempted to cancel the subscription and the software company kept charging me. I emailed the company directly to get them to reverse the charges and cancel the subscription without success. 

I filed a dispute with my credit card company. During the dispute period the software company added more charges on my credit card. Capital One allowed these charges to go through despite the fact that they had been informed that the software company was not authorized to withdraw from my account. 

This subscription is {$220.00} per month and had been going on for a year before I escalated to CapitalOne.
