Complaint narrative:
My mortgage loan was serviced by service XXXX and they sold the loan. I received a letter from freedom mortgage on XX/XX/XXXX stating that they are my new mortgage servicer as of XXXX XXXX, and that I no longer make my payments to them as of XXXX XXXX. I paid my XXXX payment to XXXX Mortgage as the letter stated. XXXX XXXX is reporting my account as delinquent when they are no longer my servicer. I believe the company is doing fraud they are harassing me stating I owe them for XX/XX/XXXX and now the month of XX/XX/XXXX when my loan is no longer with that company. They will not respond to me and only states that my loan hasnt been transferred when it has and I have been paying the new company. I am very frustrated because they are harassing me for payment and reporting late payments on my credit when my loan was transferred.

Complaint narrative:
15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) clearly states that transactions between the consumer and the Person/Corporation making the report is NOT included on the consumer reports. Yet XXXX, XXXX XXXX Equifax is reporting this information. The reporting of excluded information pursuant to 15 USC 1681 a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) on a consumer report is a clear violation of Metro2 compliance. Provide me with the Metro2 compliance disclosure on reporting transactions to a consumer reporting agency. I need the transactions reporting as late, collection/charge-off status and any other derogatory information deleted from my consumer reports effective immediately. Before you think to reply that this account has been validated, lets be clear that I am not asking you to validate or verify anything. So please do not respond by telling me that as a tactic to waste my valuable time. Some of the negative accounts have been placed in Collection/Charge-Off Status WITHOUT mailing me a copy of IRS form 1099-C Cancellation of Debt. XXXX, XXXX, Equifax and the creditors reporting collections/Charge-Offs, late payments/other derogatory information in my consumer report are in violation of 26 USC ss 6050P Returns Relating to the Cancellation of Indebtedness By Certain Entities. If this derogatory account information is not deleted from my consumer reports within 30 days, I will be forced to officially file IRS form 3949A : Information Referral AND IRS form 211.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I have a government travel card. I was on travel from XX/XX/2023 to XX/XX/2023 in XXXX, Arizona. While there I attempted to use the ATM for a cash advance but the machine was not working, and did not dispense funds. On XX/XX/2023 I was at work in Maryland when I received a notice of a declined transaction, over the spend limit. I didn't recognize the amount, and called Citibank to report. They closed the card, and issued me a new one. I contacted Citibank many times, to resolve and offered to provide proof I was not in Arizona during the charge times. They asked me to contact the ATM vendor, which I did. The ATM vendor confirmed the machine was out of service during my stay, however noted that their records were in balance the first time I spoke to them, and the second was that it's too far back to verify. Citibank investigated and because a chip card and pin was used, they are saying I'm responsible and they have sent me a letter notifying me of the such. I did not withdrawal {$480.00}, and am not responsible for this issue. 

I did speak with a person named XXXX who said my complaint was not filed correctly, and apologized for the mis-handling of this issue... but the result was the same as prior. I have not been able to contact him directly since.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Ally Bank has not paid me a promised {$200.00} bonus for which I qualified, so I am asking CFPB for assistance. 

In XXXX  2023, Ally Bank offered a bonus of {$200.00} using the promo code XXXX for opening and funding a new XXXX ACCOUNT. 

As I previously had a XXXX  account with Ally, I called its customer service to confirm if I would be eligible for this bonus offer. I had never before had a spending account with Ally. A customer service agent confirmed that I would indeed be eligible for the {$200.00} spending bonus and encouraged me to sign up for the offer, which I did on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I changed my direct deposit to Ally Bank and deposited more than the required {$1500.00} direct deposit ( {$1700.00} on XX/XX/XXXX ) well within 90 days from the time I opened the account, per the requirements of the bonus offer. The bonus of {$200.00} should have posted to my account within 30 days of that direct deposit, or by XX/XX/XXXX, but it never appeared. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Ally Bank and spoke to a customer service agent named XXXX about this issue. It became clear from this conversation that either Ally customer service agents are not well trained about this offer or are intentionally evasive in order to get customers to give up what is owed to them. First, XXXX claimed my account was not in good standing, which disqualified me for the bonus. This was not true as my account was open with a balance and the account had never been overdrawn. Secondly, XXXX claimed I had to have kept the entire direct deposit in the account to earn the {$200.00} bonus. But the requirements ( see attached ) clearly do not state that, I countered. Thirdly, XXXX said I had previously had a XXXX  account ( since closed ) with Ally, so I was not a new customer. I informed him that the requirements specifically state disqualification for the bonus only if an applicant had a XXXX  ACCOUNT previously, which I had not. He read the conditions of the bonus and agreed I should have received the {$200.00} bonus. He promised to manually escalate my request to a supervisor and that I should receive the {$200.00} within XXXX business days. It has been XXXX weeks since that conversation, but the {$200.00} bonus has not been credited to my account. 

This is clearly a case of bait and switch so that Ally Bank gains more clients and deposits without paying out the bonus they advertised. This is a particularly egregious offense as I am a XXXX XXXX. Will you please help me with my complaint to Ally Bank so that my {$200.00} bonus is paid to my account? Thank you.

Company: MOHELA
State: ID

Complaint narrative:
I made a pay off payment in XX/XX/XXXX on the balance of my student loans to MOHELA. But in XX/XX/XXXX I received a bill for a payment on a loan that was paid off. When I signed into my account, my balance was still there or in some way reinstated. I called Mohela. They can not find the ACH transfer that was used to pay off the account and says there is no record of one. But they can see I called and made a pay off request. I was not issued a 1098-E for XXXX but I was issued one for {$0.00} interest paid in XXXX. Which is odd if payment wasn't made and I had a balance. None of the payments I have made to my balance are showing in my online account portal.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I had funds wired to my checking account, received on XXXX XXXX, XXXX I attempted to wire the funds received to an external account. The wire was stopped and I was to call to verify information. On XX/XX/2023 I called and answered their questions to allow my account to be taken off hold. I again attempted to wire the funds to an external account, and again the wire was reversed, and a message on my account as follows - " Your funds are currently not available for withdrawal - call us at XXXX ''. 

My account has been in this state since XX/XX/2023. I have made hundreds of phone calls to the bank, only to have to leave a message that it will be returned in 24-48 hours. I have not received a return phone call. I have tried to call multiple phone numbers associated with Capital One customer service, only to be transferred around and around with no resolution. On one occasion, around XX/XX/2023, I spoke to a person after about an hour on the phone, and was only told " it's under investigation, and no date can be provided for resolution ''. 

I have bills to pay and this bank will not give me any information about why they are holding my money hostage and not allowing me to have access to my money. How can a bank do this to a consumer, especially after more than 30-45 days without explanation or any information whatso ever. 

The customer service with Capital One is NON-EXISTENT.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I am writing this complain against Portfolio Recovery Associates because they had actually continuing harassing me by sending me letters over and over by mail regarding a debt they say I allegedly I owe. 

I have never had business with this people. No sign contract signed with my wet ink with PRA. There is no existing of such contract. Also, this debt has passed the statute of limitations from the state of NYC. 

This caused me emotional distress and I may need to seek legal advice of what to do next. 

Please see reference letter from General State Attorney : https : XXXX Once the statutory limitation period passes, debt collectors can not attempt to take any legal action against debtors. After the statute of limitation passes, the debts dropped and no claim can be filed against involved parties.
