Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
In the state of Virginia, I have received a tax exemption due to being a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  veteran. I receive tax exemption on my residential home, one acre of land, and one vehicle. I sent the approved tax exemption ( which was back-dated almost a year ) to NewRez to receive a refund for overpayment of in escrow back in XX/XX/year>. I was told that by XX/XX/XXXX an escrow analysis would begin and that they had 30 days to process it. 

I would have been fine with that ; however, I never heard anything back from them and contacted them again. They stated that the escrow analysis had been completed but it was a " trial '' analysis and not a real one. They even sent me documents to show the new escrow amount and that it would start in XXXX. 

At this point, I have called them 9 times since late XXXX ( today 's date is XX/XX/XXXX ) and spoken to several different people who all give conflicting information and have all stated that I should receive my refund within X amount of days. Those days pass and no refund is received, even after several days I gave as a grace period. Each time I call back, there's some other excuse. I've tried to escalate the matter to supervisors but they speak down to you and demean you when you try to talk with them. I'm now in the process of trying to speak to a supervisor 's supervisor and was told that I would receive a call back within 24-48 hours. 

At this point, it's obvious their processes are not working, let alone the fact that they are essentially getting a free loan from me every day they hold my money. The amount they estimated was also short of what it should have been. It feels that at this point, I may never see my money back. What's worse is that they continue to charge me for the taxes that I'm exempt on so the amount they owe me continues to grow.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the actions taken by Barclays Credit Card concerning my Barclays XXXX XXXX Card. I have been a customer with Barclays for over five years and have consistently managed my account responsibly. However, I have faced ongoing issues with the company, including unresolved disputes, blocked account access, credit limit reduction, and unjust charges. 

Details of the Issue : 1. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Barclays blocked my Barclays XXXX XXXX Card without prior notice or explanation. 

Since then, I have provided all requested documentation three times to resolve the issue, but the card remains blocked, and I have not received any clarification on the status of my account.

2. Credit Limit Reduction : Last week, without prior notice, Barclays drastically reduced my credit limit from {$20000.00} to {$250.00}. 

This action has severely impacted my credit utilization ratio and may harm my XXXX XXXX, compounding the inconvenience I have already experienced. 



3. Unjust Interest Charges : Despite my account being locked since XXXX, Barclays has charged me interest fees twice during this period. 

It is unjust to impose such fees when I have been unable to access or use the account. 



4. Unresolved Dispute : Approximately a year ago, I filed a dispute with Barclays regarding a transaction. Despite following up multiple times, this matter was never resolved. 

The lack of action on this earlier issue further demonstrates a pattern of poor customer service and disregard for addressing legitimate concerns. 




Attempts to Resolve : I have provided the required documentation three times as requested by Barclays, yet no action has been taken to unblock my card.

I have repeatedly contacted their customer service team to seek clarification and resolution, but I have been met with vague responses and no meaningful assistance.

I also followed up on the unresolved dispute from last year several times, but it remains ignored.

Impact on Me : The prolonged card block has caused significant inconvenience, as I have been unable to use it for essential expenses. 

The reduction of my credit limit has negatively affected my financial flexibility and may have long-term consequences for my credit standing. 

The unjust interest fees and unresolved dispute add to my financial burden and demonstrate a lack of fair treatment by Barclays.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I previously sent a letter to the Bureaus regarding the inaccuracies and unknown entries on my credit report, but sadly, I haven't received a response even after 30 days. It feels like my concerns are being overlooked, and I'm not being treated fairly. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these issues aren't investigated within 30 days, they should be removed from my credit report without delay. Since that time has passed, I expect these accounts to be updated right away. If this doesn't happen, I may have to consider legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Moreover, my information was compromised in the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which adds to my worries about the safety of my personal data.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY

Complaint narrative:
I was contacted by a representative of XXXX XXXX XXXX about a debt from an account that had supposedly been opened with Wells Fargo in XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  The debt amount was {$4200.00}. I did not recognize this debt nor have I ever had an account through this bank. She gave me, my name, my social, my fathers name and my mothers previous address. They said they would like to settle it out of court. To which I responded no. I said that if this claim is legitimate then they should just sue me to collect. They tried to bargain for a lowered amount. To which I refused. I told them to just sue me if this claim is legitimate. And also that if this debt is nearly XXXX XXXX XXXX, I should have been notified of intent to collect long ago. She then told me that this would be reported to the major credit bureaus and could affect my accounts and result in possible garnished wages. I said great, thanks and hung up.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Issue Description : I am filing a complaint against Chase Bank regarding a {$40.00} interest charge on my credit card account due to the expiration of a balance transfer offer. I did not receive any notification of the expiration date, such as an email or text message, as I believe is required for such significant account changes. 

The lack of notification prevented me from taking timely action to avoid the interest charge. Had I been properly informed, I would have paid off the balance or made alternative arrangements before the offer expired. Instead, I was unaware of the deadline and was unfairly charged {$40.00} in interest. 

Steps I Have Taken : I contacted Chases customer service to dispute the charge and requested a refund. However, my request was denied. 
I escalated the issue to their dispute resolution department, but the outcome remained unchanged. 
Why I Am Filing This Complaint : I believe Chase failed to fulfill its responsibility to notify me of important changes to my account terms, resulting in an unwarranted charge. This is both unfair and contrary to good customer service practices. 


Supporting Information : Amount Disputed : {$40.00} Date of Charge : XXXX Chase Account Details : [ XXXX ] Prior Communication : I have communicated with Chase customer service and dispute resolution without success.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.
