Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Per the Federal Credit Reporting Act as a federally protected consumer, per 15 USC 6802 I'am now OPTING OUT of ANY AND ALL Authorization I, the consumer may have given to Credit Collections written, unwritten, verbal or non verbal to report my nonpublic personal information. Credit Collections is in violation of the Privacy Act of 1974 as well as 12 CFR 1022.24 Reasonable opportunity to opt out because I was never notified by Credit Collections that my nonpublic personal information was going to be shared to non affiliated third parties such as XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. I was NEVER GIVEN THE CHANCE TO OPT OUT. Also, 15 USC 6508 states that I have the option to opt out of any account reported to my credit report and I am supposed to receive an opt out notice every thirty ( 30 ) days which Credit Collections never sent to me. I am hereby exercising my rights under 16 CFR 313.7 Form of opt out notice to consumers. Also, Credit Collections violated the terms and conditions within their banking agreement, because Credit Collections states that they do not provide consumer information to third-parties which they violated by reporting my nonpublic personal information to the credit reporting agencies listed above. According to 15 USC 6802 B ) I am supposed to receive THREE different disclosures before my nonpublic personal information is shared but I never received notice. XXXX XXXX ALSO unlawfully sold this debt to a third party collection agency, AFTER the debt had already been tendered in accordance with UCC 3-603. I have never had a contract or agreement with Credit Collections and I do NOT consent to them reporting any account to my credit report. I am hereby invoking all rights under to OPT OUT and to Privacy protected by 15 USC 6802 B, 12 CFR 1022.24, 15 USC 6508, 16 CFR 313.7, the Privacy Act of 1974. I also realize that my account is being sold on the secondary market without my consent and if this account is not removed from my report within 24 hours. I will file a SEC complaint and a 3949a form with the IRS, because I was supposed to have gotten a 1099c from this charge off as its more than {$600.00} so remove this account are I will be forced to get a audit report done.

Product: Student loan — Private student loan
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I am enrolled and have been enrolled for the current academic semester. Although, I am taking eight week courses, instead of the traditional sixteen week courses.

Any time I take eight week courses it creates a loop that effects me and my cosigners credit score drastically. The Clearing House letter is not received until classes have started for the student. For the first two months of the semester, it does not show I am enrolled which causes my loans to be taken out of default for " not '' being a part time student. Even though I am, my classes just begin later in the semester. It is the same amount of credits and full course just condensed to a shorter period of time. This falling out of deferment period greatly effects my credit score as well as the cosigner on my student loans. There doesn't seem to be a root fix for this issue currently since it's " just how the system works, '' I was told. For now, I can file for correction here, once I have my Clearing House letter, I was also told. So I spent time writing this out more thoroughly since I may have to do this very thing again in the future when I take eight week courses.

Please see the letter from the Clearing House I had to special request to get before my classes started. A letter that they may not be able to get to me any earlier in the furture. I have attached this document to remedy my credit score and put it back in good standing. I have three loans that should show as in deferment with no missed or late payments via the start of this school semester. There are two under Discover Student Loans and one for XXXX XXXX. 

Discover Student Loans ACCT # : XXXX Discover Student Loans ACCT # : XXXX XXXX XXXX ACCT # : XXXX Please make sure this information is updated and reflected on the cosigners credit report as well, that is also associated on these accounts. Thank you and have a great day!

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My payment amount changed effective XX/XX/2024 as a result of an escrow shortgage. I never received notification from PHH of this change or a phone call. When my payment was received by PHH it was placed into suspense and not applied, as a result, my payment was reported late. The lender should have returned my payment since it was short to allow me to pay the payment and not reflect on my credit report or applied the payment short. This is not fair and I am asking the lender to remove this item as a default from my credit report.

The representative that I spoke to said that my billing statement regarding the funds in suspense was sent to my mailing address, however, based on the statement attached it was sent to the investment property. I had no knowledge of this change.

Company: Chime Financial Inc

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX2024 I reached out to my bank Chime about a referral promotion for referring my friend to open a checking account. The original promotion was for me to refer a friend and if they open an account, activate a debit card, and record at least a {$200.00} direct deposit within XXXX  days, that I would receive {$100.00} and my referee would also receive {$100.00}. The first XXXX actions were completed, but the final action was completed approximately XXXX week late on XXXX XXXX, 2024. I reached out to chime via their live agent chat feature through their mobile application. After verifying my identity and the identity of my referee to the agent, and informing the agent XXXX that the deposit was not before but around the due date for the deposit, that I would like to see if they can still honor the promotion for my account. I also requested that she consider a larger promotion that I received an email for on XX/XX/XXXX with all the same qualifications but for {$170.00} for me and {$100.00} for my referee. She agreed and asked for the email of my referee, and a moment to review the records. Upon reviewing she stated I was eligible and that I would need to call member services phone line for a manual credit to be applied. I then confirmed if she was referring to the bigger promotion for {$170.00} and she confirmed yes. I then asked her to put the details on my account notes so that the phone call would be more efficient. She stated the details were provided and it would be efficient. Upon calling, each representative and supervisor stated that the agent was incorrect and essentially lied to me. I spoke to several phone representatives and stated this was unacceptable and they should honor her written words. After XXXX hours of calling, I experienced several other issues including ; being hung up on, being told I would be transferred to a superior even though I was not, being told by another chat agent ( supervisor ) again that I am eligible for the {$170.00} promotion, being told that phone support can not see chat support written communications, and being told that there are no escalations of my issue beyond a XXXX level supervisor, i decided to file this complaint. I have included screenshots from both the chat agents I spoke with. 
I believe I am entitled to the promotion that promised to be honored despite a simple timeline of deposit being missed. I also feel I am entitled to a response from someone above a XXXX level supervisor in response to the poor and outright misinformation provided to me by several phone agents and supervisors. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX
