Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: AK

Complaint narrative:
I am writing a complaint after being harassed by these companies for the last three years since my debt has been paid in full. These debt companies have called several times during all different hours of the day, written, contacted my work, contacted my family members and asked my whereabouts over a debt that has already successfully been paid since XX/XX/XXXX. If I remember correctly the majority of the loan was repaid through XXXX XXXX XXXX and then the last thousand or so dollars was turned back over to the State through the Alaska Commission of Post Secondary Education to satisfy the remanding balance of the loan. These companies are threatening to charge interest fees on the loan that has already been satisfied as well. I had contacted the Alaska Commission of Postsecondary Education regarding this in late XXXX maybe early XXXX in which they said they would contact the companies and let them know that the debt had be satisfied. That obviously did not happen. This has caused financial stress on our family for the past three years and my credit is non-existent. This was already a stressful time for my family and this added immensely to it. It is not acceptable for companies to continue to do this to me, or to anyone. These companies should be held liable at the highest extent possible. Should they continue to do this I will sue them. The companies are the following : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX Disputed Sums, Navient XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I offered a delivery service using my truck to bring a large amount of chopped wood to a certain location. I was told I'd be paid by the person I spoke to and his friend regarding the amount of work it took. I have used XXXX many times as it's a payment service that ties to XXXX  XXXX XXXX, never had an issue before. I got a new cell phone last night but I back the phone up each night and when I restored the phone contents, all of my accounts appeared fine. I said once I received the money I would do the job. I received two emails to my account at XXXX saying that the funds that I expected were in my account, one for {$1500.00} and one for {$2000.00}. I performed the job. After I was done I checked my XXXX  XXXX XXXX account and the money was not there.The person I was talking to had their phone off. It appears they knew that they could get this job done for free as long as they used XXXX. Now to the gross negligence on XXXX XXXX part. It appears my phone being reset last night enabled XXXX to disconnect from my XXXX  XXXX XXXX account.There was absolutely nothing done to inform me that the money I have gotten emails saying I was in possession of would be forfeited. Once the person paying me for the service noticed that the money did not in fact deposit but was still on XXXX, they were able to cancel that payment. No where did I recieve any warning that my account was no longer connected to XXXX. The money was not deposited in my XXXX XXXX XXXX account and safe as it typically is, instead it was taken back as soon as this person realized the job was done and the money was still available to them. This is a blatant lack of responsibility on XXXX XXXX part. Even the email itself says only that I had received payment and nothing else I would like for the to pay the full amount of {$3500.00} for the work I performed. I was not able to contact a single person on their support line, it is computer ran and only has the ability to move you from menu to menu, you can not press zero for an operator and when I did think I found a way to talk to someone, the phone hung up ... 3 times. ZERO customer service.

Company: VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2018 I applied for a checking account with XXXX XXXX XXXX   online. On XX/XX/XXXX, the account was opened. I applied to open up an online account, but it wasn't opened for a week. I called on XX/XX/XXXX when I was told I needed to verify my identity with a letter. I faxed over the letter on XX/XX/XXXX and was told my account would be opened as soon as they received the letter. It was verified that the fax was received by Valley. However, on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, the bank told me that my account would be opened the next day. Without an online account, you can't see recent transactions or transfer money or anything. On XX/XX/XXXX, it still wasn't opened. I called and they said it was because my signature didn't EXACTLY match the signature on my license. However, it did. I believe that Valley is preventing me from opening my online account so they don't have to credit me the {$150.00} that I would have gotten if my online account was opened within the first month of opening the account.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I obtained a mortgage from XXXX XXXX. I wanted to make extra payments so XXXX referred me to XXXX so that an additional payment to the principle would be made each year. XXXX notified XXXX anytime there was a change in the amount ( e.g., the escrow went up or down ) so XXXX could adjust the amount automatically deducted from my account. In XXXX my mortgage was sold to Freedom Mortgage ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX ). The escrow was adjusted in XX/XX/XXXX ( the mortgage went from {$1800.00} to {$1900.00} ) ;  XXXX was not notified so they deducted the usual amount which was sent timely to Freedom. However, Freedom did not apply those monies to my mortgage. I was contacted and immediately paid the additional monies as well as additional charges. Freedom filed a negative credit report against me ( and I have always had an excellent credit report ) saying I owed them {$1900.00}, when in reality it was just {$17.00}. I filed a dispute claim with them and with XXXX, but Freedom has refused to remove the negative credit report and XXXX has not changed my report. Freedom Mortgage 's negative credit report is fraudulent since there was only {$17.00} owed not {$1900.00}. I would like this negative credit report to be removed from my credit reports.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
As of today, I received my updated credit scores from Equifax, XXXX  and XXXX. My FICO 8 scores are showing the following : Equifax - XXXX ; XXXX - XXXX ; XXXX - XXXX. When I pull up the older version FICO scores from the credit bureaus for mortgages, I get the following scores : Equifax - XXXX ; XXXX  - XXXX ; XXXX  - XXXX. When I asked Equifax why the big discrepencies in the scores, he couldn't tell me why other than every agency is different. If my XXXX is reporting XXXX, Equifax and XXXX   should at least be a XXXX on the FICO 5 and 4. I've been told my several creditors and mortgage lenders that if there's larger than a 20 point difference, it needs to be reported. This is an unfair practice that Equifax and XXXX is doing especially when I'm working hard to reduce my debt ratios and instead of it being rewarded, I'm being punished? How does that work?

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
On multiple occasions, including XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, Capital One 360 placed an unexpected and unwarranted hold on my checking account and debit card. Their reasoning was that I was making transactions out of state, and it " looked suspicious ''. In fact, I had used the card in those locations ( Hawaii and California ) on many previous days, both for purchase and cash withdrawals. In one instance, my entire checking account was frozen late on a Friday night in Hawaii, and I was unable to use the account for the entire weekend. In speaking with phone representatives at various levels of management, I was given the conclusion that " sometimes we just place holds on accounts and there's nothing you can do about it '', essentially locking me out with no proper reason. If the card had been stolen or compromised, and suspicious transactions had occurred, then they would be warranted in taking these actions. Instead, I spent hours on the phone with clueless phone reps, unable to provide any assistance.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I am a victim of Identity Theft and the Credit Bureaus are refusing to honor my request for a block of fradulent accounts and information under FCRA 605B. I have sent my FTC Identity Theft Report, my police report and have also submitted my information to the Attorney General in my state. I have fulfulled ALL the needed requirements and the bureaus are WILLFULLY non complying. I spoke to a representative from Equifax to ask if they received my police report and she said " we can't use this police report '' and we have opened investigation and you will hear in 30 days. '' I told her no, they had all they needed for 605B and they were to block within 4 days. She said they was not going to block because anyone could just go down and get a police report and claim ID theft. I told her that wasn't a judgement call for her to make that 605B requirements have been met and they needed to block I know the law well enough to know that there are only 3 reasons a CRA can refuse to block : 1. If the request is made in error. ( It's not ). 2. If the facts were materially misstated. ( how could they possibly know or obtain evidence to prove that or reach that conclusion ( especially within 4 days ). 3. If they had knowledge the consumer received goods or services with the transaction ( which I have not ). If the CRA follows the FCRA exactly, then it MUST put the identity theft block in place, within 4 business days, once it receives an identity theft report from a consumer. None of these is the case, so I want to know exactly why they are willfully breaking the law.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Received unsolicited financial product or insurance offers after opting out
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
In an attempt to reduce the number of unsolicited credit card offers I first attempted calling several of the banks including Capitol One ( directly ) and XXXX XXXX ( through the XXXX XXXX XXXX Miles Program ). I was told that I had to " opt out '' either through calling the number on the solicitation or by going on-line. 
I used the online method to opt out on XX/XX/2018 but continue to receive unsolicited offers from Capitol One, primarily, as well as XXXX and XXXX XXXX. 
When I check my credit report I notice that the banks have made numerous credit checks. I'm also concerned about the potential for fraud if someone should try to open an account under my name since there are so many of these solicitations mailed out. 

Is there any way to compel the banks to comply with my request not to send unsolicited offers for credit?

Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My client recently completed her CH XXXX BK and was granted from the courts to proceed with refinancing her property. The existing payoff was held with PNC Mortgage and they took over 75 days to provide the payoff demand in order for the new escrow company to fund and record. As the lender, we had everything ready to be completed in 20 days knowing we had a 45 day lock period incase there were delays. From day 20 up to day 75 or 76 we could not receive the pay off demand costing our branch over {$1500.00} in extended lock charges. Not only do I have email records from myself and the escrow officer trying to get the information form PNC but I have an entire conversation timed and written down with names and discussions about how their process works in order to speak with a supervisor or a manager. It's impossible and they will not allow you to talk to anyone directly, you have to speak with a representative who then types the message while you wait on hold for the response. Because I was insistent on staying on the phone from XXXX XXXX they lied to me about the release and once I called back to confirm, nobody knew what I was talking about and couldn't release the information to me without filling out and authorization form. The authorization form I was told can take up to 5-10 business days to be accepted. Escrow was told at least twice that the pay off demand would arrive in 5-10 business days as well.Each time you call and ask for the pay off department you are sent to a recording and automatically hung up on. The entire process was a total nightmare and because of my escrow officer bending over backwards each day for over a month and a half, somehow it was finally provided. I want to know how a company can get away with that type of system, costing other lenders money, taking time away form other people 's jobs, and not have consequences for their actions and lack of care for the client. If my branch manager didn't choose to take the hit, my client would have never closed her loan, her mortgage payment would not be reduced, and she would have been out for the additional costs that were accrued for doing the loan. PNC should be put out of business for how they conduct themselves with no regard for others. Our branch suffered, escrow suffered, and the client suffered in worrisome.
