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: IN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2018 I sent up a payment for {$63.00} to be paid on XX/XX/2018 and XXXX   XXXX XXXX took two payments from my XXXX XXXX XXXX Account for {$63.00} and {$170.00} on the same day. I called to speak with a supervisor and asked that the payment for {$170.00} be returned back to my XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX account because I did not authorize for two payments to be taken out of my account. I had already calculated my transactions and by XXXX  XXXX XXXX taking an extra payment out of my account of {$170.00} it would cause my account to be overdrawn and {$96.00} worth of fees to be assessed to my account. The representative told me that they could not void the second transaction but I could go into a XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX branch to open up a new checking account and they would see if they could return the funds to a XXXX   XXXX XXXX checking account. I did not want to open up an account with XXXX   XXXX XXXX because in the past they promised to take care of their error with processing a payment a few years ago and failed to address their error then reported that I did not make my payment and closed the credit card account which subsequently impacted my credit score and credit file. 

When I set up my payment for {$63.00} no other payments was pending on the mobile app. The representative told me that I should not be using the mobile app to view prior scheduled payments but the desktop. I did not know that I could not rely on the mobile app because that's all I had been relying on in the last 6 months and it was not an issue to my knowledge. In all I had to go to XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  to complete a REG E claim to have the {$170.00} disputed and to date I have incurred {$96.00} with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX and {$82.00} worth of fees with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX because the representative and her supervisor would not cancel out the second payment that was not showing in the mobile app of their system. 

Additionally XXXX XXXX  XXXX has recently reported that I did not make my XX/XX/2018, XX/XX/2018 and XX/XX/2018 because of their error. I have proof that these payments and the additional payment that came out of my XXXX XXXX XXXX checking account. Even after the XXXX  XXXX XXXX staff made an error a few years ago with failing to process my payment and closing down the account, I still have been faithfully paying the account. However, they have not been reporting my payments to the credit bureau as they promised. I need for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to launch an investigation against XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX because I have asked to speak with the Escalation Team within the Office of the President and the representatives refused to escalate my call. And their staff refuses to correct all their errors.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
The issue is summarized in this letter I am sending to Freedom Mortgage via certified mail : Dear Mr. XXXX XXXX XXXX, I appeal to you for resolution of this grievance as satisfaction could not be obtained from your customer service representatives despite much time sacrificed to that cause. 

In the 10 years I have held this home mortgage never has a payment been missed, never late. I have assured this with automatic payments. In XXXX of this year my payment amount increased by {$25.00} due to a tax increase. This incidentally coincided with an extended family vacation. 

Upon return I learned that my on-time XXXX payment had not been credited to my mortgage but instead held in limbo and a {$73.00} late fee applied. All because of this {$25.00} discrepancy. Despite the unfairness of this, I was willing to write it off to unfortunate circumstances, pay the late fee and move on. That is, until I received notification that you had reported my payment Past Due to the credit reporting agencies. 

This damage to my creditworthiness with its potentially wide-ranging consequences is unjust and unacceptable. My loan payment was not late. The amount more than covered the principle and interest payments due. The trivial escrow balance in no way justifies this disturbing and damaging course of action by Freedom Mortgage. 

I am requesting restitution from you in this matter through 1 ) immediate correction of the derogatory credit reports and 2 ) application of the {$73.00} late fee to my principle balance.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: PR

Complaint narrative:
I filed a complaint with the Credit Card Company and I'm including all the communication ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) between the Credit Card Company, the Merchant and me.

In summary, there were two issues : 1. The merchant offers different advice service for the trading / investment in the stock market. The promotion of this specific service I purchased is a fraud. After 45 minutes video and long promotion the claim ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) is " 100 % accurate in picking only winners for year-long stretches ... ''. ONLY AFTER THE CREDIT CARD PAYMENT IS PROCESSED, I had access to the transactions performed during the last two years. The accumulated TOTAL for last two years is negative in both years. I requested to cancel the service with the merchant and with the credit card the very first day, since it is clear that the service was a fraud.

2. The other issue is that I paid for a year subscription of an advice service that claims to use software that find & follow the trades of successful well renown traders as " XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX " Then, 45 days after I subscribed, they decide to CANCEL the " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' with the " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' and just transfer to OTHER ADVICE SERVICE called the XXXX XXXX XXXX  ( XXXX ). They claimed the service was similar. 
In my book if I subscribed to a service for a year and THE MERCHANT decided to discontinue that service and the client DOES NOT WANT THE ALTERNATIVE PROVIDED, simply you must be entitled to a refund for the period the service will not be provided. 

In both cases, a misleading promotion and a cancellation, the merchant did not want to return the money because according to them they have a " non refund '' policy. This is the reason why the Credit Card is based on the reasoning of the merchant ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). It is my opinion that " non refund '' policy that does not provide the service is a steal. A credit card company must protect their clients from this type of frauds, not allow them.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter dated XXXX XXXX saying that I am behind in my mortgage payment and they have a right to invoke foreclosure, etc. 

I received a letter dated XX/XX/2018, that says that unapplied funds were moved from unapplied funds and moved to the principal and my next mortgage payment is due on XX/XX/2018. 


Why are they threatening to foreclose. I am not, nor have I ever been behind on my mortgage payment. In fact, I have a long history of paying an additional {$1200.00} on the principal each month. I was doing it electronically, but then they told me they could not do it that way, I started sending them a check with a coupon telling them how to apply it. They still could not get it right and now they are threatening me? This is not right.

Company: Convergent Resources, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX I sent a letter to XXXX XXXX requesting that they Validate NOT verify a debt that they are attempting to collect from me. Not because I was notified of any debt but because I saw it on my credit report however, I never received a response. As a result, I disputed the account with all three credit bureaus several times might I add, and each time I received a response of account verified as accurate and/or " meets requirement of the fair credit reporting act '' with no supporting documents. This was found not to be true when I finally received a letter from XXXX XXXX with a billing statement attached in XX/XX/XXXX stating debt is valid, attached is verification of the debt ''. A billing statement does not prove that this is my account/debt nor I am obligated to pay them. In addition to that I walked inside of a XXXX store and asked would they be able to provide me with a signed copy of an original contract and was told no they could not. I would have to contact the creditor on my credit report and they could not provide me with any proof that no such account did or did not exist or of my inquiry. XXXX XXXX is reporting delinquent information to the credit bureaus that I am asking to be deleted.

Company: Riverwalk Financial Corporation

Complaint narrative:
I was attending XXXX XXXX of XXXX back in XX/XX/2016. I was granted financial aid and the balance that I owed was added to my government student loan account. I have proof that it is being paid through my student loans. However, the school was immediately closed down due to fraudulent practices by the federal government and I was never able to complete my program but was still responsible for the amount that was added to my loans. So this company ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) claims I owe them {$280.00} from the school but they have not produced any information in writing. They added to my credit report for non payment and has damaged my credit. I have tried to reach someone at this company but there is NEVER a live person that can answer the phone. Every time I called the number on my credit report it goes straight to a voice mail machine on the very first ring. And NO ONE HAS RETURED MY calls after calling numerous times. I have filed a complaint with the credit agency and I know that I don not owe this debt. I want this REMOVED FROM MY CREDIT REPORT because both the school and this company have fraudulent practices

Company: ACS Education Services
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/18, I made a call to ACS or Conduent ustomer service about my student loan trade line item on my credit report from XXXX. It is being reported as 120 days past due. However, the student loan was transferred to another office, called XXXX, and is being reported as current. Both of these are showing on my credit report. I explained to customer service that their reporting is misrepresenting my credit profile as non-current when, in fact, it is current and in good standing. 

Customer service says that it was in default at the time it was reported. At that, I was contacted by another office who was willing to help me out of default through loan rehabilitation. When I finished that program, my loan was transferred to XXXX of which payments are in good standing. 

There should only be a single line item for my student loan, which is XXXX. ACS will not remove their derogatory information upon my request. I have reached out to XXXX via a credit dispute and they informed me that to contact ACS. My dispute to XXXX was that I have duplicate accounts on my credit report which is my student loan.
