Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I began disputing the XXXX Bank, NA account that is reflected on my credit report, in XXXX XXXX with Equifax Credit Bureau. In XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX advising them that this account did not belong to me. As the report ( see attached ) from Equifax themself reflects that this account has me listed as an authorized user. Hence, as an authorized user, I am not legally responsible for this account nor do I have to continue to allow it to report on my credit reports. I have requested numerous times that Equifax delete this entry from my credit report ; however, to no avail. They are blatantly violating my consumer rights. 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I contacted Equifax by telephone ( XXXX ) to once again attempt to have them remove this account from my credit report. I spoke with Agent XXXX who stated that I must contact XXXX Bank for them to submit an electronic submission advising them to delete the account. Upon receiving this information, I contacted XXXX Bank at XXXX ( listed on my credit report ) to discuss this matter them so that they would indeed delete this entry from my Equifax report. To my dismay, I was placed on hold in excess of XXXX hours and transferred from one department to the next ; however, no one was able to address my concern nor direct me to the department or contact that would handle this. On today, XX/X/2017, I again contacted XXXX Bank at the number listed on my credit report only to be on hold again for over an hour and no one to rectify this issue. 

I AM DEMANDING THAT THIS ACCOUNT BE DELETED FROM MY CREDIT REPORT IMMEDIATELY!

Company: American First Finance, Inc.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I do n't even know if anything can be done about this but I wanted someone to know about it. It has been a rough year for me payments wise. I got behind on one in particular. I bought a new mattress in XXXX of last year. I was told the price was XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX dollars. It was financed through American First Finance. I signed everything and on some level this is my own fault for not reading everything but I was never given a copy of that contract. I 'm not exactly sure how they are charging for interest or exactly how much I have left to pay down. I can get online and look at some information but it 's not very specific. It will only show my payment schedule not an itemized bill. It will only show the payoff amount not how much I still owe overall. My biggest problem with them is that I went back to a job I hate back in XXXX. When I was getting my first paycheck this company took XXXX late payments out without my express authorization and left me with XXXX dollars. I called and was about to start cussing but I wo n't do that because I 've worked in a call center and it sucks. XXXX different people told me there was nothing to be done and that I authorized them when I signed the original paperwork. I asked how much I still owed and one told me over a XXXX still. I had been paying XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX dollars and XXXX cents for over XXXX months at this point. I was told my payments would be XXXX XXXX and XXXX a month and they were n't. I suppose that should have been my first clue. I want a copy of what I signed. I want to know exactly what I 'm paying and how much interest and fees are. I think something wrong is going on here. I think a loan shark would give a better interest rate than this company.

Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I have a mortgage that is currently being serviced by Specialized Loan Servicing. I have been in default for some time. Originally I tried to work  with them to obtain a loan modification but the continuously were missing paperwork or they were always asking for additional information after I had already provided that information. 
Needless to say ; I gave up and presently I am trying to complete a short sale. 
I have had the property on the market with a very reputable and knowledgeable broker for 18 months. I have an experienced attorney working with the bank to assist with the short sale transaction. We have presented THREE offers to Specialized Loan Servicing throughout this 18 month period. Specialized Loan Servicing continues to reject this good faith offers and continues to OVERVALUE the property. My broker and my attorney both have worked in good faith with Specialized Loan Servicing. The property was shown to prospective buyers many many  times and all offers have been submitted to them ; but they continue to obstruct our ability to complete this short sale. I have no financial incentive to complete the transaction because I have a chapter XXXX discharger ; but I want to the right thing and avoid the foreclosure. However, despite the good faiths efforts of a knowledge broker and experienced attorney ; we are still being obstructed by Specialized Loan Servicing. I want SLS to approve the current short sale as this amount has been the HIGHEST amount we have EVER received for this property. The property was built in 1860and is severely outdated. Please help me.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a phone from XXXX through XXXX XXXX XXXX. I read their terms and conditions and then I finished my purchase which led to them automatically applying for a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on my behalf. I was notified that my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was approved with {$3200.00} credit line. I was given an account number and I am registered in their system. I got the confirmation for the purchase and was notified that the order will be delivered within 2 business days after shipping. XXXX never shipped the phone! After waiting a week, I talked to XXXX customer service and they told me there is some unknown issue with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I have to talk to them and advised me to cancel and reorder. I eventually canceled the order and tried to reorder in their website but it wasnt working, telling me that I dont have any credit line available in my account. I checked my account and it was showing {$0.00} credit line available and no record of any purchase or transaction on my account. Then I talk to TD Bank and they said the problem is not from their side and my account is under review and they are waiting for XXXX to confirm my order and there is nothing they can do about it. They kept passing me to the other party, XXXX and TD Bank, and none of them was taking any responsibility for the matter. Right now, I have a credit account opened in my name with {$0.00} credit line and a hard inquiry on my credit record as a result. It seems that they prefer to do nothing about it. I didnt get the product I ordered. I didnt get any credit line. Just an account opened in my name with zero use for me. 

I checked XXXX online forum and there are so many people having the same issue and they all got nowhere and very unhappy about it. It is definitely a known issue for them, XXXX and TD Bank, and it seems they decide to ignore and not recognize it. 

Here is some other people who experienced the same thing and got no help : https : XXXX https : XXXX https : XXXX https : XXXX

Company: National Student Debt Advisory Corp.

Complaint narrative:
Not really much to report. Phone # in questions is for our small business and we 've NEVER had a student loan, had an employee or even a family member with or even cosigned on/for a student loan and these folks no matter how many times we have asked politely and also of late " not so politely '' continue to call on a DAILY BASIS and it seems always from different numbers. When we waste our time and manage to get to a real person the company is always the same. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX out of XXXX XXXX California. Office # XXXX or XXXX Problem has now escalated as the latest caller has upped the ante to " threats of physical harm '' and stated that she will keep calling until we finally admit we had or cosigned on a loan and that our number was somehow associated to a loan, but they 're always unable ( more like unwilling ) to provide a name of who may of taken out said loan. 

How the heck do we make this XXXX stop, even more so now that the calls have become threatening?

Company: Coinbase, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have an account open with the company Coinbase where I bought {$300.00} of bitcoin at the price of {$9600.00} per coin, so I received XXXX bitcoins. I noticed that on XXXX XXXX, when I tried to log into my account it said " your account is temporarily disabled '' and I was unable to log in to my account. I contacted the Coinbase customer service line, XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX and spoke with a representative who said " Some red flags were raised on your account, but I do not know what they are, I have forwarded your case on to a specialist who will work with you to reopen the account ''. Since then I have received no contact from the website that would indicate that they are working on my case. I called again today XXXX XXXX, and spoke with another representative " XXXX, '' he said that he raised the priority of my case and that I would receive some type of response before Monday. It is a bitcoin exchange, and due to the time sensitive nature of fluctuating bitcoin prices, I need to be able to log in if I want to sell my bitcoin. I have read on the internet that many people have this problem ( i.e. " account temporarily disabled '' and Coinbase taking multiple weeks or months to unlock their accounts ). I find it highly distressing that Coinbase is not working to resolve this issue expeditiously. And I stand to lose money if the price of bitcoin goes down and I am not able to sell my units.

Complaint narrative:
I signed a contract with XXXX XXXX to assist me with modifying my mortgage loan. I was informed by my account manager with the company XXXX XXXX that I was entitled to a full refund if the modification was not successful. The promise of a full refund was my main reason for signing the contract to do services with this organization. In the end the modification was denied and I was referred to other agencies and other services which required more money however the modification was denied and my home went into foreclosure. I went to the company owner XXXX XXXX, he stated that the company was now out of business and that I will not be receiving any refund. After doing more research on XXXX XXXX, I later learned that he has opened several companies such as this and he has taken money from unsuspecting consumers and left them in an even worse situation. 

Please help me put an end to this gentleman 's scams and obtain a refund for myself and other helpless consumers. Please contact XXXX XXXX at XXXX or XXXX.

Company: RUSHMORE LOAN MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a Borrower Assistance Application onXX/XX/XXXX.. I also told my single point of contact ( POC ) that i meet the eligibility criteria for one of Keep Your Home California Programs ( MRAP - Mortgage Reinstatement Assistance Program ) and all I need from Rushmore was the mortgage statement and modification. Her response to me was " If you do not qualify for the modification, will they still help you to get current ''. It appeared to me that she already knew that they would not approve me for a modification and that they were just buying time as we got closer to the foreclosure date of XX/XX/XXXX. She then told me that i will know if my application is complete in three ( 3 ) weeks and at that time i will get a decision. Three weeks will be XX/XX/XXXX and only Two weeks away from the foreclosure date. If the decision is negative, i do not have enough time to appeal it before the foreclosure date. 
The staff at Rushmore ( POC 's and Supervisors ) are notorious for misguiding customers on the modification process. They play by the rules by their calendar and are eager to have your home go to foreclosure. 

They do not like to work with other mortgage assistance programs such as Keep Your Home California. 

Rushmore is violating my home owner bill of rights and i 'm kindly requesting you to look into this matter. 

Please look at complaints of several other unhappy customers : https : //www.checkbca.org/report/rushmore-loan-management-services-llc-100102203/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Thank you

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/2017 at XXXX we received an automated call ( XXXX ) asking for a call back to XXXX. A call back was placed to MRS Associates and I stated to the operator that we have asked multiple times for calls to stop being placed to us. The operator very politely tried to go through our main numbers and stated that our main numbers have been blocked. Because the system does not allow for forwarding to the main number, a narrowing of what number is being used is impossible, as we have several numbers that forward to our main number if not answered.

Purant to the 1974 privacy act Ad Astra Recovery has violated all privacy rights and has allowed my personal information to be leaked due to their false and misleading ways.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has my current address correct, but my previous address wrong. In order to check status of any dispute with them. you have to supply both current and previous address ( if you have moved in the last 2 years. ) I have tried to get this fixed many times. Once, they instructed me to fax many forms of personal ID to a fax location open to all employees. I refused, as they have a poor record with data security. I was able to find the bad address through their " XXXX '' program that they have to offer due to their data breaches, though that data has been erased now. The address was in North Dakota and when I search on the address, I found that the address is a PO box for a bank credit card. Surely, even Equifax would know that I have never lived there. I have given them the correct data, but they will not fix it. What can I do?
