Suncoast went in to my account and took XXXX dollars for what they called an NSF fee becuase my account didn't have enough money. I have other accounts they could of used to pay these.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

I greatly value the relationship I have with the following creditors and have consistently made on-time payments forsuch a long time.This isolated incident does not reflect my overall commitment to honoring my financial obligations, and I have since taken steps to ensure this will not happen again. 

Given my otherwise positive payment history, I kindly request that you consider removing this late payment from my credit report as a goodwill gesture. I believe this adjustment would better reflect my responsible credit behavior and would help improve my credit standing.

Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
Our mortgage payment has increased a by a third. 
Our escrow account is negative $ XXXX The amount going into the escrow from the very beginning was far short of what it should have been. My calculations show that the monthly payment should have been {$200.00} more, which even then we likely wouldn't have taken the mortgage as it is outside of our budget. 

Then in XXXX of XXXX, they refunded us XXXX from the escrow account, putting it in even worse position, but I had no idea at the time that I could tell them to leave it in there and we were very short and needed the money. 

We thought everything was good, only to get an email saying our mortgage might go up. It contained a link going to a video about escrow with no details about our specific situation. The bill following that of XXXX MORE than previous was a total shock. This is AFTER we had to call them because they hadn't taken the XXXX mortgage payment out, and apparently their system wouldn't accept the XXXX payment, so there was no XXXX addition to the escrow payment for XXXX. 

Upon speaking with their representative they told me they underestimated the taxes and insurance. HOW could you under estimate the insurance for the year when I gave you their quote?? Insurance underestimate couldn't possibly have been XXXX short. But that is all they will tell me and I'm on the hook for their inability to do simply calculations. 

I'm frustrated and angry about the situation and am trying to refinance. Apparently no one can do anything about this.

Complaint narrative:
I inadvertently set up a bank account to pay our Barclays XXXX XXXX with a digit missing. The payment was returned to XXXX but in the meantime I had gotten notification from our bank and was working to fix the account number. The payment was late in being paid because I wait until XXXX returned as well to make it again. In the meantime I have called and talked to several people and they all assured me there were no late fees on the account. Imagine my surprise when I pulled up a statement to find {$78.00} in late fees! I've contacted them several more times and they each have told me there's nothing they can do about the late fees. I find this totally unfair because I contacted them first, not the other way around. I'm XXXX XXXX XXXX but I feel this is totally taking advantage of people. Something needs to be done about Barclays and their unscrupulous business practices.

According to FCRA Permissible Purposes ( Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ) it requires credit reporting agencies to have a " permissible purpose '' to provide your report.
