Consumer complaint received 2024-04-04 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, Freedom Mortgage paid {$1800.00} to cover my XXXX XXXX tax bill. The Escrow Assessment performed by Freedom Mortgage is based on a tax rate of {$6700.00}. This led to an incorrect monthly mortgage payment calculation that increased my monthly payment by roughly {$600.00}. I reached out to Freedom Mortgage after doing research into the issue, and explained to them the situation. I was referred to their tax department, which was a third-party vendor. The tax team was able to find the discrepancy and correct it on their end on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX. I was told by the Freedom Mortgage representative that it would take roughly 24 hours to update in the system and that a new escrow assessment would be performed once that happened. I was told to call back near the end of the week ( Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX or Friday, XX/XX/XXXX ). When I called on XX/XX/XXXX, there was no new escrow assessment and the Freedom Mortgage representative told me that there wouldn't be one completed until at least XX/XX/XXXX. Furthermore, the representative told me that the request for a new assessment had not been input until XX/XX/XXXX, days after I was told it would be done following the 24 hours delay. Freedom Mortgage refuses to expedite my new assessment, and the representative XXXX XXXX, ID # XXXX ) told me that I would still have an escrow shortage. However, my 1098 tax form from Freedom Mortgage shows that I should have had an escrow surplus in the amount of {$510.00}. The company is showing no signs that they are taking this matter seriously, nor do they have my confidence that they are correctly handling my escrow account.

Company: The Receivable Management Services LLC

Complaint narrative:
on XX/XX/XXXX I purchased a poster from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX I received a call asking if I wanted any other services from them, and I politely declined. They sent me a bill, without any real confirmation, and have been calling me constantly ever since. I have now received a message on XX/XX/XXXX from Receivable Management Services LLC, a debt collection agency, so they're really pursuing this relatively small sum of money. I'm not interested in being bullied to pay for this useless " virtual service '' that I never used or asked for.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, Equifax signed and received a certified letter that contained a dispute along with a notarized identity verification letter that contained a copy of my drivers license and social security card. I spent money on notarizing the document specifically to verify my identity. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Equifax stating that because of the information I provided as of my identity does not match the information we currently have on my credit file. I have sent them dispute letters and verification for myself on at least 2 other occasions and i find it concerning that they are trying to use a stall tactic by asking me for information they should already have on file. How does submitting my drivers license and social security card that I have provided to them alreadygoing to verify what they already have on file for me. Its the same drivers license and socvial security card I have already sent them on 2 other occasions. It makes no sense to me and Im annoyed that instead of properly investing my dispute, the try and slow the process of allowing me the right to repair my credit by disputing the inaccurate information they have on file for me.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I noticed my bank account was charged 29 times for products/services I did not personally authorize. I do not know or understand how my debit card was physically accessed overseas ( I was charged international fees 29 times ) as I was working and living in Arizona the entire time. My debit card never left my possession and I did not authorize anyone with use of my debit card. There was an initial purchase of {$52.00} from this company before I was charged {$150.00} x 29. 

When I first filed the claim, I was given temporary return of the funds stolen. On XX/XX/year>, I noticed the bank retracted the funds without notifying me. I then filed a second claim requesting that they investigate this matter further. 

Today, XX/XX/year>, I received an email message from Wells Fargo stating they were not at fault, and I was responsible for the purchases made on XX/XX/year>. 

My bank, Wells Fargo, insists that the charges are not fraudulent and declined my two filed claims. I do not accept this result as I did not make those charges of {$4700.00} ( which includes the international fees ). My bank did not offer resources to resolve this matter. My bank also refuses to acknowledge that they failed to catch these abnormal charges on my account. In the past they have suspended my account on charges until I called and confirmed purchases with them, but those purchases were online and within the United States. 

My bank also failed to notify me of these unusual activities and did not contact me to confirm these outrageous charges, especially overseas. 

The third party that charged me fraudulently is in XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, XXXX, as listed on my statement. I have never visited or purchased anything with this company. 

I feel that Wells Fargo failed at protecting their customers and did not treat this matter fairly.

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act, as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681, emphasizes the crucial role of fair and accurate credit reporting in maintaining the integrity of the banking system. It unequivocally states that inaccurate credit reports directly undermine the efficiency of the banking system and erode public confidence, which is vital for its sustained operation. 

Yet, despite these clear mandates, violations of the FCRA persist, causing significant harm. When my privacy is infringed upon through unauthorized inclusion of accounts in my consumer report, it feels like a blatant disregard for my rights. After all, I should have full control over what information is disclosed about me. 

Such violations are not only a breach of trust but also tantamount to identity theft under the law. Sections 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 are explicit in requiring written consent for the inclusion of any accounts. The failure to obtain such consent opens the door to civil liability, as outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681n. 

It's deeply frustrating to think that my privacy and financial well-being are jeopardized by these lapses in compliance. Each instance of noncompliance represents a violation of my rights, for which the law allows for substantial penalties. It's high time that credit reporting agencies are held accountable for their negligent and willful actions, as the consequences extend far beyond mere inconvenience.
