Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I 've had the hardest time with trying to get my issue resolved with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I recently pull my credit report and determined I have a hard inquiry on my credit report from XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. During the enrollment process for the XXXX service, there was a disclosure read to me of credit check would be done for the review of my application. I was confused as the disclosure did not provide specific information if the credit review would be for a hard inquiry or a soft inquiry. I asked the specialist if she could confirm this for me. On the same conversation she advised this was not a hard inquiry and would be a soft pull done, so it will not reflect on my credit report. With this understanding, I agreed and continued with the application process. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX in which the specialist advised she would submit a request for a credit analyst to reviewed my profile for the hard inquiry and call me within 48 business hours as they were closed during the weekend. I did not received call back within the timeframe i was given so today XX/XX/XXXX, i called and checked on the request. I was advised there was not a request submitted for this review when I previously called. After 50 mins of being transferred around, being hung up on once, I finally got over to a credit analyst, who advised me they do n't have a produce to remove this credit inquiry as they would refer their customer to dispute it with the credit bureaus. As I made the specialist aware I 've already looking into that option, in which my request was denied. I advised her the only option I had was to dispute the inquiry as fraud. I advised I would not dispute this as fraud. As the definition of fraud is not having no participation in the activity, in which does n't apply in my case because i have this active account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. The same employee as well advised that she does n't understand why this particular employee would 've assured what type of credit inquiry would be established, as she is in the same position as her. She advised they are not even sure what type of inquiries are done. She advised " Out of best practice '' for the customers she assist with the enrollment of service, she advises them she is unable to confirm what type of inquiry it would be done as the credit team would determine this during the review of the application. I feel like i was mislead by XXXX XXXX XXXX/employee. I am not certain if this was done intentionally by the employee to gain personal commission, or if its something that if not clear to XXXX XXXX XXXX employees to provide unfair parties to their customers in general.

Complaint narrative:
As per my last discussion with XXXX, in regards to my last CFPB complaint i was advised there was nothing else that could be done on Discover 's end and i would have to address my concerns with XXXX, Therefore I spent an hour with XXXX, to be referred back to Discover in regard to this issue, as they were unable to locate any collections filed against me, nor have a process for customers to dispute the way they 're fido score is reporting with as credit card benefit. As I trust there is truly no issues with my XXXX  credit report, I am still determined there is an unresolved issue on Discover 's end with the reporting of the Fico score. I have contacted Fico in which i was instructed to have the files matched to reflect each other correctly. I tried to bring this up to their attention, I was assured there is no process in which this could be done. As i understand my last request was in regards to the APR request being declined due the " suppose '' information being reported on my credit file. I am beyond this request as not i do n't feel its fair practices as a customer to receive this benefit, however it being in accurate information. I understand Discover does n't know whats being reported and is only given the information from their third party. However I feel there should be a process for them to ensure the Fico score they are providing me is correct and they are just not taking their third party " assurance '' it correct. The last time I contacted discover, I provided them with a copy of my credit report for their review, when in reality i was turned away to received the run around for information Discover is only able to see.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I received an email from the CFPB regarding the response to complaint # XXXX stating that the lender my loan was transferred back to now has an 15 days to respond to my complaint filed against its servicer XXXX. The two lenders are both involved in the same loan transaction. The lender that now has my loan, Bank of America, should continue where its servicer left off not be granted MORE TIME as my HELOC is resetting to a payment I can not afford and needs modification ( as explained in complaint # XXXX against XXXX ) I also made a payment of {$490.00} due just before the transfer which I never got credit for. Interest on the loan continues to accrue. Where is the payment I made? Because now they show me in arrears with a combined next payment due of over {$1300.00}. I can not afford that and will lose my home for sure!
Bank of America, which has my loan now, did reach out to me with a phone number but when I call and no one answers or returns my messages.
I need help and answers to my request for modification, not more delays. I feel I being passed around til I become severely delinquent, then WHAM! I/m in a hole I can climb out of.
I do not need to lose my home as I finally have a place to live that has been modified to fit my XXXX ( XXXX, XXXX XXXX ) If I lose my home to foreclosure because I can not afford this new HELCO payment, I will be left homeless.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
Money was refunded and accepted from XXXX XXXX to a closed account through a debit card that was used for initial purchase. Wells Fargo states they accepted the money but then re-routed it back. XXXX did not receive the money and Wells Fargo will not provide any routing information or proof that they did this. XXXX has provided me with documentation that the money was accepted by Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo will not return my calls from the debit card office. I have dealt with a local branch manager that was trying to help me with this and ended with him just trying to assure me that the money was returned. The amount was {$420.00}. The money was sent to Wells Fargo on XX/XX/XXXX. Initial purchase date was XX/XX/XXXX.  Account at Wells Fargo was closed XX/XX/XXXX and debit card was removed from XXXX account by me shortly thereafter. I was told that refunds will be sent to the initial card it was charged on despite it being closed by customer. Both sides deny they have the money yet one of them does. The next step was that I filed a complaint with the Federal reserve and almost immediately got a call from the division of debit cards for Wells Fargo which I had left countless voicemails to without return calls. An employee, XXXX, was very helpful and placed a 3-way call to XXXX to resolve this. I was on the phone with her, someone from XXXX that she had called and we were transferred around until we got a manager from a call center that finally just stated that they would send the money in a check and that I would receive in in the next 15 to 25 days. I thought this was resolved until I never received a confirmatory email and of course never received a check. I then called XXXX and through several transfers got to a regional manager that stated that they have no record of the call, no check issued and stated that XXXX has a strict policy and would have immediately disconnected if they were ever on the phone with some bank employee. They again told me that Wells Fargo never routed any money back to them and it is likely in an account for unclaimed funds through Wells Fargo and they need to find it.
