Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Billing problem
Company: PRESTIGE FINANCIAL SERVICES INC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Long story short Prestige has deliberately falsify information to my account by not crediting payments and adding fees to my account. These are predator lending tactics by increasing the balance of the loan. Example balance was XXXX one month the next month its XXXX The duration of loan was 60 months beginning on XXXX XXXX2013.
there has been a total of 48 payments paid including 2 lump sum payments and attorney fees. Also they never reduced the interest rate as stated in the contract after the first year ... .Prestige is reporting inaccurate balances and misleading information on balance and payoff. I DO NOT OWE XXXX on this loan.
This is disputed by myself and the Bankruptcy Court.
Prestige are steady harassing me about my loan with unwanted phone calls about my loan is 27 days late, and threats .The loan is current and ahead, if they would apply the payments correctly. Prestige needs and give me credits for lump sum payments that were never applied to the principle balances ...
Prestige has very bad history of scamming consumers. Consumer reviews are the worst ever ... This needs to stop!!!

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I attempted to close my escrow account with the company this Summer.  They informed me that I had to wait for 1 year after closing to close my escrow account. I had made all of my mortgage payments to date on time and in full and owned more than 20 % of my home. That was not a term or condition in my deed of trust or any other document in my closing package. My loan was not originated by Wells Fargo when my loan was sold to Wells Fargo, they company you enforced a policy that they did n't inform me of and that I did n't agree to. That seems like a deceptive business practice to me. Wells Fargo kept my money only so they could collect the interest on my escrow account. I feel that this practice can cause harm to consumers. In my particular situation I had to wait until XXXX to close my account and now their internal process will take a number of weeks to issue my escrow refund. At this point I will likely need to take money out of pocket to pay my property taxes as the refund will not be issued. Wells Fargo forced me to comply with a policy that was n't documented or agreed to in my loan contract. I contacted the bank a number of times to seek correction but to no avail. As a result I had to remember to call them on the anniversary of my loan origination to request my money to be returned to me. In my opinion, this should be added to the list of the many things that Wells Fargo is doing that are not in the best interests of their consumers. Yet another deceptive practice used by them to build revenue off their consumers without their consent.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Georgia XXXX Confirmation # XXXX Date : # XXXX 2017 As a Veteran, and a XXXX XXXX XXXX, I am deeply concerned how Equifax is mistreating me just to satisfy and placate to these collection agencies, and these reporting companies. They do not care that I got denied a V.A. loan because of them. They do not care that I have been having these problems since XXXX of this year, while they knew they were comprised through hacking back then. I have filed three different police reports. 
Since XXXX of this year, I have closed my accounts three times, and we could not figure out what was going on, but they knew, and they didnt say a mumbling word. I am paying {$19.00} per month with them just to get bamboozled, hoodwinked, and deceived all the while they are appeasing, and pacifying their clients. 
They keep saying I have more than one file with them, which is out languished at best, and criminally assault against me, at best. I have only one account with the other bureaus. This should be a clue, and proof my account has been breached and my identity stole. You all should remember I filed an identity theft report twice this year. 
The keep putting these account ( XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MA, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA ). This is proof, Equifax is still doing underhanded, and shady business after lying to congress, and the general public stating they are not! 
I am more than willing to testify in front Congress to pull the blind off this unprofessional, and feloniously mind company.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am currently refinancing my home and consolidating my credit cards and have been shopping the rates among different lenders. My credit scores have been in the XXXX 's or higher for more than 20 years. I still have an activity revolving account from college which I opened 26 years ago. I have had a mortgage for 14 years. The youngest credit card I have is 9 years old. When the lenders checked my credit scores and mailed me the credit score exception aka the risked based pricing notice. XXXX and XXXX both furnish blatantly false information which brought my scores down. On the notice which stated key factors affecting your credit score XXXX  falsely stated that I had insufficient length of credit history. XXXX falsely stated length of revolving account history is too short. This false information has the affect of driving down my scores and allowing these lenders to justify charging higher interest rates and fees. Equifax just has my score at XXXX and stated that I had high balances on revolving accounts. 
I called XXXX and asked a supervisor about the notice I received and the information they have provided. He denied the fact that the information had come from XXXX I read out loud the credit score notice to him and he again denied that XXXX gave them that information. He said that each lender runs their own credit score modeling reports and uses their own key factors. He then sold me a credit score report for {$10.00} that had my " real factors '' that affect my credit score. I should get it in the mail in 5-7 days for security purposes. I did a search on the internet and saw the news release that the CFPB had in XXXX 2017 fined Exquifax and XXXX  XXXX XXXX for their deceptive marketing of credit score reports to consumers. I filed a dispute with XXXX, Equifax and XXXX and requested they cancel my order and decided to file a complaint with CFPB. 
I still feel trapped because I have already locked my rate the refi my home and I am not sure if I should move forward or wait to until my credit is re-scored. My lowest score was XXXX and most people would be happy with that, but if my true score is higher why should I have to settle at XXXX. It 's really frustrating because the debt I have been carrying really bothers me but I want to get the best deal I can. I hope this helps someone else when dealing with these crooks as know as the credit reporting agencies.

I have had several problems with this company originally I took out the loan with XXXX XXXX and it changed to Navient, when I filed bankruptcy, then immediately took action against my mother who was the co-signer, I tried to settle the debt and they wouldnt accept, Ok all this is fine and legal. However ... they never send statements, then when the XXXX per month payment is late they charge XXXX late fee, although they have n't sent a statement. When I ask for an auditing of my account they refuse, when I ask for a statement they refuse. They are hard to work with and anytime you ask for any sort of statement, or any sort of paperwork they refuse, if you ask for a supervisor, they refuse. You can not get any of the rights you are afforded under the law with this company.

Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
OnXX/XX/XXXX, I and XXXX, where I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX, signed an agreement that I would receive 4 credits in XXXX XXXX for my XXXX. This was based on meetings at the accounting department, conference calls and emails between The Department Chair, Advisor and Registrar.
The 4 credits were crossed out and reduced to 3. I received some explanation that did n't make sense, but did not make a fuss. OnXX/XX/XXXX I called the school and was told that I have to pay in order to view my unofficial transcripts. I immediately allowed the system to make payment. However, I saw that there was no title to the course, just a generic course type XXXX XXXX.
I contacted the registrar, bursar, bank, Chair and Advisor. How could this be. Our signed agreement specifically states the course title and amount of credits. Unfortunately, the only way for me to see that was AFTER I made payment. Their response was unsatisfactory. I sent written notification to the bursar tgat they are unauthorized to makethe payment.
I contacted the bank. XXXX refused to help or stop payment. I asked for a supervisor. XXXX at extension XXXX left me on hold until the call timed out. I sent written notification to the bank.
I do not need the credits to graduate, but wanted the specific tax course notation on my transcrips.
I will be contacting the Attorney General 's office and am waiting for XXXX XXXX XXXX to contact me with the address to send a formal complaint.
Meanwhile, as HSBC was unresponsive, I ask the CFPB to ensure that this unauthorized charge does not go thru. I did not get what I was told that I would get. I had to pay to find that out. The bank refused to stop payment despite my call and email.
