Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I have a credit card with USAA Federal Savings Bank. I have had the card for well over five years and have never missed a payment. I received a call on XX/XX/XXXXfrom a collection agent telling me that I had failed to make my payment. I immediately scheduled an online payment from my account at a different institution effective for XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$110.00}. I then chatted with a representative from USAA and once she looked at my account waived the late fee because I have never been late on a payment. The payment of {$110.00} was effective for Friday XX/XX/XXXX. Once the payment was applied it should have made my balance on the card {$1900.00} giving me an available balance of {$95.00}. When I checked the account on XX/XX/XXXX my available balance was still showing a negative {$24.00} credit. I started a chat session with XXXX XXXX and was told that due to my card being over the limit by {$24.00} and my payment being missed they had placed a hold on my ACH payment that was effective on XX/XX/XXXX and it would not be released until XX/XX/XXXX. That is 7 days after my ACH payment was made. XXXX XXXX told me he was sorry and that there was nothing they could do about it. This is the first time I have ever had a missed payment and I remedied the situation as soon as I realized my mistake. Holding my ACH payment for 7 days is excessive. An ACH payment only has a two day window where it can be returned by the paying bank.

Complaint narrative:
I was notified by TransUnion that a New Mexico State tax lien filed against me ( I am a Texas resident ) and it was included in my credit report. I sent TransUnion documentation about the new federal law which prevents tax liens and civil judgements from being used on credit reports. I obtained a copy of the tax lien and it did not contain my full name, SSN, DOB, or correct address. I attempted to obtain my report fromTransUnion to see if the lien appeared, and was told that since I had an open dispute I could not get the report. This was after I received a letter from TransUnion stating the issue had been resolved. Now I have a letter from TransUnion stating that I can purchase a copy of my report for {$9.00}. Something is not right here.

Company: STATE FARM BANK, FSB
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
We have been trying to negotiate this short sale with State FarmXXXX for over 7 months now. During this time, we have had unbelievable issues with communication and processing. Every time we call we are given different information. We can never speak directly with the correct department or a supervisor because they are either busy or do not accept phone calls. We have filed a complaint with the escalation department and they saw no issues in the processing of the file, which is a very scary thought since they have been so unorganized and unresponsive. We were finally given a direct contact to communicate with- XXXX XXXX XXXX Although I emailed and called daily for an update, I was only just told via email from XXXX on XXXX XXXX that the file had been denied on XXXX XXXX. He could never explain to me why it took 11 days to send me the info. He wrote in his email : " If there is a new offer that you would like presented to them for review please advise and I will submit it ''. Two days later, the real estate agents informed me that the buyer would increase his offer, thereby increasing XXXX 's offer by XXXX. I immediately submitted this counter offer to XXXX via email and requested that it be submitted to the investor at once. This was on XXXX XXXX. I left several voice mails for XXXX and emailed him several times with not one single response. Every single time I have called for an update, I have been told that the file is closed out and XXXX has not touched the file since XXXX XXXX. There is never a manager in that department available and no one else can help me, all they can do is send a message for someone to call me or transfer me to XXXX 's voicemail again. FINALLY, today I received an email back from XXXX stating that he never received my email with a counter ( even though the email he replied to had the email included in it ). Then when I resent it, he said it was denied because we did not meet the investor 's counter. This is in direct contradiction to his email on the XXXX wherein he stated that if we had a new offer, he would submit it. The file has been grossly mishandled and the communication has been the worst I have ever encountered in the 200+ short sales I have handled. I would appreciate some help in having our concerns addressed and our file properly processed. XXXXState Farm has deliberately and intentionally provided false and misleading information and has engaged in unfair and deceptive practices. Our client has continuously been harmed by these unfair and deceptive acts.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX has stolen my identity and is continually running credit check EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NOT APPLIED TO THEM OR THEIR AFFILIATES FOR CREDIT. THESE INQUIRES ARE ILLEGAL ACCORDING TO THE FCRA ACT AND I WANT THEM REMOVED IMMEDIATELY. They APPEAR to be doing this to hurt my credit and by continually doing it they are trying to force me to put fraud alerts on my credit report when they are the ones committing the fraud. The FIRST TIME, though suspicion of an inside job I filed the credit report and as soon as the 90 days was up the started again and keep doing it. THE RUNS ARE NOT ACCURATE REPORTING BECAUSE I DIDN & # XXXX ; T AUTHORIZED THEM! I want this to stop and I want it to stop IMMEDIATELY as they were just fined for this very violation. As part of your & quot ; investigation & quot ; please also request the ip address of the supposed application. From the application you can see that no application would submit lacking this much information AND they are using my address which would defeat the purpose of someone trying to get a credit card sent to them. I am being violated and my credit run illegally. MAKE THEM STOP PLEASE! I could NOT submit this information through the " upload '' even though the file was small enough and the person assisting me on the phone said that " any company can run your credit report for business purposes '. and I KNOW THAT THIS IS A LIE. The credit report could be run as part of a backgroud check for a job or as was indicated by the denial letters IF I AM TRYING TO OPEN OR APPLY FOR AN ACCOUNT! I DID NONE OF THAT and per the FCRA these inquiries are ILLEGAL and for the Experian to say otherwise needs to be reported. In addition, I 've found that XXXX has a habit of doing this and just had a class action as a result. It is as if as soon as they closed the class action they started again the illegal pulls using XXXX as a source!

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX WA XXXX In XXXX I took out a loan for {$140000.00} with USBANK. This loan when I took it out was a HELOC. ( It was a revolving line of credit. ). Then in XX/XX/XXXXUSBANK converted the loan to a XXXX ( MORTGAGE ) that does not have a revolving line of credit. But USBANK did not amend the DEED OF TRUST that they used to record the loan on title. On XXXX XXXX I applied for a HOME Equity Line of Credit with XXXX. Aproximately 3 weeks later I found out that there was a problem with how USBANK had recorded the current loan ( {$140000.00} ) was recorded on the title of my house. I brought this to USBANK attention right away but they took 3 months getting back to me with a definite answer. They said they had done nothing wrong. Though they wrote me several letters that stated. 1. they had done nothing wrong. 2. They had reported everything properly. 3 That I had a MORTGAGE and did not have a revolving line of Credit. 4 That the mistake was not theres but it was the title company 's ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) who misinterpreted what they recorded. I have found out that that the only instrument that USBANK recorded was a Deed of trust that clearly states that I have line of credit with a max loan amount of {$140000.00}. This was correct in XX/XX/XXXXwhen it was recorded but when USBANK changed my loan in XXXX to a mortgage without a LINE OF CREDIT there should have been an amendment to the the original deed of trust. As a result of their failure to amend the DEAD OF TRUST. I had my loan with XXXX cancled and had to restart my loan at .25 % higher rate after USBANK finally put in writing that I do not have line of credit and actually have a MORTGAGE. I believe also that USBank has done the same thing to all of their customers who had HOME EQUITY LOANS with them prior to XXXX when they converted all of them to mortgages. I Believe that USBANK should pay the difference in the cost of my loan over the life of my loan. ( {$5300.00}. ) This is the damage that I am incurring as a result of 1. USBanks slow decision making ( 3 months ). 2. The fact that USbank never amended the Deed of Trust to reflect the loan change that they made in XXXX. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX 2017, I sent a certified debt validation letter to the company that that I believe to be known as AFNI, XXXX, and XXXX. I am not sure what the actual name of the company is because according to my credit reports, all of these names belong to the same company.

Upon the receipt of my validation letter, the before mentioned company " flagged '' the account that was on my credit report as a " collection ''. Information was also altered. This was brought to my knowledge because of the alerts that I have on my credit report. They should not have done this. With this company taking this action they have violated a policy of The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. According to the FDCPA they were supposed cease collection practices of this debt, which would include altering my credit reports, until satisfactory proof that I owe them this alleged debt was sent and received by me. This was not done so they are in direct violation of this policy.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
After checking my TransUnion credit report, I found out that Trans Union has been including reports made to it by a company called XXXX since 2015. XXXX is currently reporting that I have an outstanding amount of {$710.00} due to its company and that the status of the account is " charged to profit and loss. '' XXXX is absolutely not a legitimate company. They are not licensed by the Florida Office of Financial Regulation to act as a consumer lender, nor are they a federally-chartered bank. The State of Florida  declares loans made at an interest rate greater than 25 % to be considered loansharking or usury and is a third-degree felony. This can be verified here : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX charges interest rates in excess of 500 % annually. The company is operating illegally and in contravention to Florida law. I 've disputed the account to Trans Union already, and XXXX verified it as accurate. I can not see how it is possible that TransUnion allows an unlicensed, illegally operating entity to report information to it -- information which it then incorporates into reports it sells to third parties.
