Complaint narrative:
The Credit Bureaus have done nothing to correct the erroneous information reporting on my Credit Report! I previously sent a dispute letter addressed to the Credit Bureaus on XX/XX/XXXX requesting to correct the accounts and information being presented on my Credit report but it is clear that the Credit Bureaus have ignored my written request.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: BSI Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022 I submitted a written request to the mortgage servicer providing them a copy of my tax bill for the property taxes. I also asked for the following : I received the first tax bill for my home today, which was new construction. I believe it needs to be paid from the escrow account. Please find it attached. 

Also, it seems the escrow account is overestimated by 38 % per month since it was estimated given that the house was new construction. I believe that I am due a refund, in addition to needing the monthly escrow amount reduced by 38 %. How do I request an escrow analysis be performed? 

I followed up this request several weeks later after no response was received and was told that I would receive a response by XX/XX/XXXX. I received no responses from the company.

Consumer complaint received 2022-09-13 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have a Citicard. I had a deferred interest promotion which expired on XX/XX/XXXX. Before my deferred interest promotion expired, I also obtained a flex loan from the same credit card. The deferred interest was 0 % and the flex loan at 5.99 %. 

Under 12 CFR Part 1026 ( Regulation Z ), XXXX XXXX. i. states : ( i ) Last two billing cycles. The card issuer must allocate any amount paid by the consumer in excess of the required minimum periodic payment consistent with paragraph ( a ) of this section, except that, during the two billing cycles immediately preceding expiration of the specified period, the excess amount must be allocated first to the balance subject to the deferred interest or similar program and any remaining portion allocated to any other balances consistent with paragraph ( a ) of this section I attempted to pay off my deferred interest balance in XX/XX/XXXX and again in XX/XX/XXXX, prior to the expiration date of my deferred interest balance XX/XX/XXXX. Citi allocated the minimum to my deferred interest balance 0 % and the rest to my flex loan 5.99 %. They told me that they had to make the payment to the flex loan per federal regulation that requires the extra payments go to the higher interest rate. Clearly, they are not following section b of the reg cited above. Addtionally, prior to my payment in XXXX, I reached out to Citi via the chat feature to make sure that my payment would be applied with the minimum to the flex loan ( 5.99 % ) and the extra to the deferred interest balance. The Citi chat person told me that is how it would be applied. Additionally, when making the payment online, I clicked the payment option stating " pay Adjusted New Balance plus Flex Plan Monthly Payment '' which was the exact total of my remaining deferred interest balance plus the minimum payment of the flex loan. Clearaly, any reasonable person would assume by checking this box their payment would be allocated per the stated payment option! 

The result is that I am now stuck paying the 22.49 % interest rate on the remaining deferred interest balance that I attempted to pay off twice! My interest is now higher every month. This is clearly unreasonable and it does not follow 1026.53 b.

I hope that you will look into this and rectify it. Clearly section 1026.53 b. was drafted becasue of this exact situation. A consumer should not be forced to pay interest on a deferred balance when they've attempted to pay it off more than once. 

Thank you for your time.
