Consumer complaint received 2018-03-01 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In my XXXX XXXX Credit Card XXXX, issued on XXXX XXXX, XXXX in addition to my normal purchases I found unauthorized charge for {$11.00}, showing in statement as XXXX XXXX   XXXX. I did payment of my authorized due balance and disputed this {$11.00} charge. XXXX phone agents did not accept that the charge was done by their affiliated insurance agency ( though on web there are many fraud alerts on this scheme ) and decided to replace my credit card due to fraud activity. In reply to my XXXX XX/XX/XXXX dispute I was informed that my dispute was properly accepted for processing ( I have same day email notice confirming that ) and I should pay any due amount except the disputed balance. Since I had no any overdue payment I was assuming that the issue would be properly resolved soon and new card would arrive. What was real surprise for me is receiving next statements indicating the same charges plus some other charges applied to this unauthorized charge, plus new small charge of {$0.00} form the same XXXX XXXX XXXX, dated XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. 
After XXXX months no dispute resolution notices were received from XXXX. When I called to customer support on XX/XX/XXXX the agent rejected to provide any reasonable explanation for the situation and was trying to forward me to this XXXX XXXX ( which I do not now who they are ). In fact, XXXX instead of resolving the disputed transaction is trying to protect someone's interest ( which assumably is affiliated with them XXXX and continuing applying same charges and more additional fees. After understanding this fraudulent scheme : illegal credit card add-on practices by XXXX on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I had requested closing my account immediately. Since XXXX is non-responsive on this issue and this situation may affect many consumers I had no choice but applying to CFPB for resolution of case.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Navient has aggressively hounded me at home, work, through family, friends and people I have not had contact with in many years. It's very tricky attempting to navigate their system in order to provide options in order to get my loans out of default. My loans are now over double what they originally were which is directly related to fees and interest making my loans more than double to originating amount. I have a 4 year degree that is now costing more than my yearly salary. I get nowhere working with them and would like to know what my options are. I understand this company has been sued in the past for unfair practices and I would like to join any current petitions or suits filed against them related to the mishandling of student loans. Any time I returned their calls in the past the option shoved down my throat was to go into a forbearance. Once that was exhausted they suggested I take on a third job or that my husband take on a second one ( this is unrealistic ). No one there has provided me with any realistic options consistent with our level of income. I am already in XXXX other student loan rehab programs.

Company: Paramount Recovery Systems, L.P.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2018 at XXXX PM I received a phone call from a man asking me for my date of birth. I was uncomfortable giving out that information because he would not tell me who he was. He told me the date of birth he had on file and I confirmed it was me. After confirming who I was, he then told me he was a debt collector from XXXX XXXX and that he was attempting to collect a medical debt from me for around {$500.00} or so. I told him that I was not in a comfortable enough financial position to pay the debt at this time and proceeded to get an attitude with me. He told me that it was noted in their system that they had spoken with me at the beginning of the year and that I had promised to pay the debt when I received my income taxes. I didn't promise anything! I told them that I would try to pay the debt with my taxes if I could, but I had to use that money for my sons braces and glasses and that I'm a struggling single mom. I told him that this old medical debt was not a priority for me at this time and he told me that the doctor I used made me a priority when I needed him so I should make paying him a priority! I became extremely offended by that statement and told him I felt like he was trying to give me a guilty conscience. He then proceeded to tell me that he knows I have a credit card and I can use that to pay the debt! I told him that what I use my credit card for is not his business or his decision and not to call me again. I notified his supervisor of the conversation and she said she was going to listen to the recorded conversation and resolve it immediately and that he should not have approached me that way. The debt was from an emergency room visit before I had medical insurance and the local charity hospital had been closed. The ER visit was for a minor medical issue. but I did not have a regular physician at that time to go to.

Company: Heritage Financial Group, Inc.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX I signed to a 42 month loan with Heritage acceptance corporation out of XXXX Indiana. I signed to 21.70 % apr, a 42 month loan, after 2 years and 6 months of payments I've added my monthly payment of $ XXXX. Why has heritage added another 8 months of payments to my loan without my Permission and without my knowing? I've asked them since XX/XX/2017 to send an itemized statement, I've asked XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. I've still not received a statement of any kind I just get told if I don't pay the monthly amount they'll repo the vehicle. Now with them adding almost another {$2000.00} on my loan at this rate they could have anyone pay {$500000.00} for an XXXX XXXX with XXXX miles! Total violation of my rights and truly a breach of contract! But what can I do, they've got the title so i guess they can add whatever to your loan and you better pay it on top of the high interest rate or you'll just be out {$8700.00}!!!! 
Since the beginning of the loan i was placed on biweekly payments when I showed them I receive social security supplemental income payable the first of every month so they've had me paying biweekly and keep saying I'm behind although I never have received a statement in 30 months of a XXXX  month loan! I can not believe this place is allowed to still do loans!

Complaint narrative:
I have tried several times with no help from Equifax to get proper access to my report. I was told that i have Alerts on my report so i sent In necessary docs to have any and all alerts removed. However, my Equifax continues to mis report information on my file. The bank says that my Equifax file is too large and it has to be compressed because its so large. 

Equifax is obligated by law to make my report accessible and should therefore delete all soft inquiries and anything else that causes my files to be so large that the report is no accessible. 

Furthermore, I am yet disputing this two inquiries that are on my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and these are not authorized by me.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
In 2016 I put credit freezes on all three credit reporting companies. XXXX XXXX, XXXX  and Experion because someone opened a XXXX XXXX credit card in my name. That issue was resolved but I was told anytime I need to have a credit inquiry done to call/use website and get a one time passcode/key for the lender to use. Last month because my car was totaled I did that. I got a passcode from TransUnion and Experion and was told to give it to the lenders to be able to access my account. Two very long days, lots of phone calls, frustration and embarrassment, I still could not get any credit. And I have, according to XXXX XXXX, who uses the credit reporting service for their information, a XXXX credit score. I should be able to get credit. Instead when the lenders tried to access my info it looked as if my assets were frozen or seized, compromised or I didn't have any. I ended up having to remove cash from my savings to purchase the vehicle. I still have yet to get any answers as to why this system didn't work or what can be done about it except to completely remove the freeze which I don't want to do. I do not need access that often ( once since 2016 ) so would like the protection the freeze offers, but not the hassle.

On XX/XX/XXXX I filed a dispute with Experian and they responded back two days later that the company said it was verified which was XX/XX/2018. I later called Experian and spoke with a representative and she said this is done by a computer. How are they investigating anything if it's done by a computer? On the XX/XX/XXXX I then filed another dispute regarding XXXX XXXX XXXX and how they did not respond to any of my letters in the 30 day FCRA and it came back verified with Experian again. They have not provided viable evidence bearing my signature or provided me copies of any documentation associated with this account, bearing my signature. Given that I believe they are acting in bad faith, and have not complied with the federal and state laws.
