Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In accordance to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which is codified in 15 USC 1681 section 602 states " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' I, the Consumer, am writing this complaint due to inaccurate reporting of all 3 consumer reporting agencies that is Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX. Under 15 USC 1681 section 623 it states " A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. '' In Transunion consumer report it shows that I only have XXXX hard inquires ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ), in XXXX it states I have only 12 hard inquires ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ), and XXXX shows that I have XXXX hard inquiries ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX ). This is causing much confusion due to the inquiries not matching and shows me that reports of these inquiries are inaccurate and I would like them to be removed. Not only does it violate section 623 but it also violates section 604 ( a ) ( 2 ) which states " Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : In accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' I have not given written instructions for these inquiries to be furnished on my consumer reports. 15 USC 1681 section 607 ( b ) also states " Whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy of the information concerning the individual about whom the report relates '' there must be a maximum possible accuracy of my consumer reports across all agencies.

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I received a settlement refund from a business loss. The check was subsequently deposited. Within 2 days my account was on hold and under investigation for fraud. I advised what the check was for, however, USAA decided to have the account closed without providing further details within 60 days. The agent was aggressive, condescending, and flat out rude after I stated what the funds were for. The account is still showing open with funds on hold. I inquired whether I would receive a cashiers check and the representative stated the funds are scheduled to be returned. She also stated any credits would be mailed to me. Over the years I have continually had issues with USAA profiling my account because of large check or cash deposits. My husband who is a mixed race man and also banks with them, never has this issue.

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
My property taxes were under an escrow account for more than XXXX  years with Bank of America. 

Until I recently found out, after a title search revealed that when Bank of America was supposed to be making timely payments from my escrow account, they did not. The lack of a timely payment caused a property tax lien to be placed on my property. The property tax lien by no fault of the property owner but due to Bank of America failure to pay the taxes in a timely manner unbeknownst to me ( the consumer ) had been on the property for a few years.

It was only discovered by a recent title search and I was never contacted by Bank of America about this tax lien. I contacted the Taxing authority to take the necessary steps to get it removed.

After that, I had the escrow removed from my account since Bank of America was not responsible enough to pay the taxes in a timely manner and failed to even disclose that a tax lien was placed on the property.

How many other consumers is this happening to?

I will Never have Bank of America escrow my account again.

I recently received a letter from Bank of America notifying me about I havent paid the property taxes and they may step in and pay them and in turn set up an escrow account.

Its so hypocritical for Bank of America to send me a letter after they did nothing for years about that property tax lien filed against my property while under their care to escrow.

Tell Bank of America that the remaining balance of the property taxes will be paid. I have been in contact with the Taxing Agency and no action such as a tax lien has been filed against the property. The property is not subject to foreclosure ( risk ) due to delayed payment of taxes. Therefore, I do not under no circumstances consent to Bank of America escrowing my account since they have proven to fail to pay the taxes causing a tax lien to be placed on the property. 

Just leave my account as it is, where no taxes are escrowed.

Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc.
State: WV

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  I called Aidvantage to report that my income had decreased and to have my payment re-callibrated to my income. The first agent hung up on me for unknown reasons. The second agent made a vague statement about my income being verified and that my new payment would be XXXX. 

Four months later, in XXXX of XXXX, I began receiving statements with the same payment amount as before the phone call I made on XX/XX/XXXX, meaning my reported drop in income was never considered in my payment. In XX/XX/XXXX I called Aidvantage a 3rd time but was unable to speak to a customer service rep due to their high hold times. 

I have been in contact with Aidvantage at least XXXX or 4 times over this issue and it is still unresolved. At this point the mistake seems purposeful, as to force me into making a payment. 

I DO NOT WANT AIDVANTAGE SERVICING MY LOANS ANYMORE. The only information I would like from them going forward is how to change servicers.
