Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: I.C. System, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I was provided no notification of the " alleged '' debt and thus any opportunity to dispute the debt prior to its reporting to credit bureaus. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I sent the following letter : Certified Mail XXXX. XXXX, XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, MN XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX : Account for {$320.00} ending in XXXX To whom it may concern : I am writing to demand that you immediately remove from my account a reported amount of {$320.00} for an account ending in XXXX. 

1. In violation of the FCRA, I have not received notice of any such debt as well as the contact information regarding to whom this alleged debt is owed. 

2. Neither have I been afforded an opportunity to nor have I been provided an opportunity to dispute the alleged debt. 


I hereby demand that this alleged debt be immediately removed from any and all credit report bureaus this has been reported to until such time you can comply with the provision of the FCRA. Failure to do so will result in a suit to protect my rights and any damage done to my credit reputation. 


Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX In addition, I am receiving an excessive number of spoofed calls which leave no messages which have exceeded 100 in total as of this date and no response to my letter. Further, it seems that the day after they received the letter, they reported the debt to another credit reporting agency rather than remove them until I have an opportunity to review and request documentation and dispute.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Caliber Home Loans, Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
In the closing documents provided to me by Caliber Home Loans, Inc. ( CalibeXXXX XXXX immediately before the date of my mortgage settlement, I was informed that my total monthly mortgage payments for years 1-7 of my mortgage loan would be about {$890.00} and decrease thereafter. Of this amount, about {$200.00} was estimated to be necessary to cover my escrow requirements. I recently received information from Caliber, however, that indicates that my escrow payment was not estimated correctly and there is a shortage in my escrow balance. To make up for this pervious shortage and to account for future shortages, Caliber has increased my escrow payment by about {$350.00}. When I called Caliber to inquire about this matter, I was informed that the initial disclosure documents provided at settlement only contain estimates and its rather common for those amounts to increase in the future. I was also told that the shortages may be due to a tax miscalculation done by Caliber before the date of my settlement. 

Such a response is unacceptable. While escrow payments may increase due to slight tax fluctuations in future years, I fully expected that the initial disclosure provided to me by Caliber at settlement was accurate, especially given that tax information is publically available and CalibeXXXX billed me for a XXXX XXXX XXXX. An increase of about 173 %, however, in the escrow payment is material and Calibers failure to disclose a reasonably accurate escrow payment at closing was a material misrepresentation and/or omission.

Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I received an email from Chase about a bill, thinking my credit was affected by that breach from the credit bureau. I ran my free annual credit report and saw Chase on there for {$95.00}. I have the card, but had paid it off and not used in over 2 years. I called Chase, and they explained it was for an annual fee ( I had never been charged a fee ever ). I explained to the representative that I do n't pay fees, have n't used card in years and wipe it out and close account. He said he could not waive the fee. I asked why, and was given some explanation that made no sense. I had just received the email about a statement and was telling him to close the account. He said he could close account but not waive fee. I then got angry and told him if not closing account and I have to pay the fee, leave it open. I paid the bill immediately as not wanting to affect my credit. But, the more I thought about it, this was not right. I have great credit and do not use credit cards with annual fees. I do n't know if they did this because I have n't used the card? I do n't know why they just did n't close it for inactivity, but instead charged fee??

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I sent a fax to XXXX XXXX in the Consumer Affairs department with Equifax to have my student loans information corrected due to Equifax reported two of my student loans in default for XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX for these XXXX student loans accounts : XXXX {$1800.00} and XXXX {$1800.00}. I also enclosed the proof regarding the loans were deferred and never in default. I checked my credit report on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and it still showed the student loans being in default in the negative account section of my credit file which has caused a major impact on my credit score due to the fault of Equifax. I contacted Equifax and was directed to Consumer Affairs on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and spoke with XXXX XXXX at that time and the representative stated and assured those XXXX student loans were updated and no longer showing in the negative accounts section because Equifax caught the mistake and corrected. So I check on XXXX XXXX, XXXX to see if the update took place and it still showed those 2 student loans in default and in the negative accounts section and now in dispute which I did not request for those accounts to be disputed because according to XXXX XXXX this was corrected and the error was caught by Equifax to correct what they had done. I contacted Equifax once again and spoke with a XXXX XXXX and she told me that XXXX reported these two accounts as default for XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, which that is incorrect because I contacted XXXX and they confirmed they did not send that information over to Equifax and what Equifax is reporting is incorrect and none of my loans were in default as confirmed by the representative with XXXX. The representative at Equifax, XXXX XXXX stated that it was reported by XXXX and it was in dispute, and I informed the representative that I did not dispute and I was advised these 2 accounts were corrected because Equifax made the error in reporting false information. XXXX XXXX then begin to falsify that I stated I was recording the call and I did not state that, the representative was trying to look for a reason to disconnect the call. XXXX XXXX would not give me corporate information to make a formal complaint about this issue and stated that she was the highest level of escalation and management. She did not give me any management names that is over her and kept saying she is the highest level of escalation and disconnected the call. This has been an horrible experience with Equifax and due to the hack that took place they are not willing to resolve any issues.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
I was erroneously charged twice by XXXX on XXXX XXXX. XXXX was a {$15.00} charge, and the other was a {$16.00} hold. 

The two charges brought my account into overdraft, incurring a {$36.00} overdraft fee from SunTrust bank. I called XXXX and had the issue corrected. They said they would refund me the charges and that it would take 2-3 business days. 

I then called Suntrust to notify them of what happened. I told them the two XXXX charges were a mistake and being refunded, and asked to be refunded the {$36.00} overcharge fee. They refused, but did say that once the XXXX charges are fully refunded, then they will refund the {$36.00} overdraft fee. 

On the very next day, however, XXXX XXXX, SunTrust hit me with a SECOND overdraft fee, still related to the erroneous XXXX charges. So despite the fact that I called and told them the XXXX charges were in error, they used them as the basis to hit me with two separate overdraft fees, totaling {$72.00} XXXX all because of two XXXX charges does in error worth {$31.00} XXXX. 

Representatives at SunTrust have been completely unhelpful to me addressing this. Instead of working with me to prevent the overdraft fees once I informed them the charges were in error, they instead kept hitting me with the fees. 

They claimed the fees are applied automatically by a computer, and that for a human to override them and credit me the {$36.00} overdraft fee, I would have to await a phone call from a supervisor which could take 3 business days. 

Having {$72.00} stolen from your account by your banks due to a {$30.00} mistake that is in the process of being refunded, created an exceptional hardship in my life. And that lack of responsiveness by the bank made the problem much worse.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, I saw an online offer for a XXXX XXXX XXXX checking account where you would get {$200.00} for opening an account and having 3 direct deposits post to the account. I was interested and followed the steps and successfully opened the account. XXXX XXXX asked for an initial deposit of at least {$25.00} and I provided my routing and account numbers for my Chase checking account to send them a {$30.00} opening deposit. On XXXX XXXX, the {$30.00} left my Chase checking account as a withdrawal from XXXX XXXX funding. 


On XXXX XXXX, I realized I have something coming up where I would n't be able to transfer my direct deposit and fulfill the offer so I decided to close the account. I went to my local branch to close my account and get my initial deposit back but was told it was never received. I showed the branch manager the line item on my Chase account for the funding withdrawal on XXXX XXXX but she was told they had never received it and that I would need to call Chase as it was on their end, not XXXX XXXX. They let me close the account and I was told the initial deposit would come back to my Chase account eventually. I called Chase and XXXX XXXX on the XXXX, XXXX and XXXX and have been bounced back and forth between companies blaming each other for the missing funds. This is n't a large amount of money but I do not want to forget about it and then just not ever get the money back. If I could get help with this it would be great. Thanks!
