Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am trying to improve my fico score so I can move my family into a better living condition. 
I have taken steps to call all the creditors on my report that are showing negative on my fico score. Each one stated I would have to dispute the account so they can move forward to delete, remove, or erase it from my report with their response. I have a copy of the creditors that were deleted from my XXXX Credit Report to show the creditors that responded back with the delete, remove, or erase statement. I have called several times to SYNCB/JCPENNEY on XX/XX/2021 and on XXXXJCPENNEY stated they would be happy to put it in their system to delete, remove, or erase it from my report with their response. On XX/XX/2021 I got a copy of the revised updated report from XXXX, XXXX, XXXX with the same old information?

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2021 I went on the mobile app for CitiBank. I needed to increase my credit limit by {$5000.00} at least. I clicked on " increase my credit limit '' and went through the process. The app never asked me how big an increase I wanted nor informed me how large the increase would be. It provided a {$3000.00} increase. I need at least a {$4000.00} increase. When I called in to change the increase amount I was told that because I already asked for a credit increase I need to wait 6 months to ask for another, essentially stonewalling me. I asked for a supervisor and his line was really bad and I couldn't tell what he was saying. I got as far as getting the same explanation. I said I wanted to cancel that morning 's request and put in a new request for a higher increase. He said he couldn't do that. I asked to escalate and I couldn't understand his response. I asked him if he could contact me by email and he said no. He said a few more things that I couldn't understand. At that point I gave up since he was not able to communicate. I do not trust Citibank to handle this issue with good faith.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of this year, I started an assistance application with Select Portfolio Servicing in regards to my mortgage as fell behind due to lack of rent. Im currently in forbearance until XXXX and Ive been making payments. After almost months and doing everything they asked of me many times, I received a letter I qualified for nothing and my only options are foreclose or sell. I dont think this is fair because Ive done everything asked of me, including working with HUD . During these times where jobs and rents came with much uncertainty ; one would think they would be more acceptable to working with a person who has lived here 20 years.

I have two dismissed bankruptcies on my Experian report. I have disputed these bankruptcies for years. Finally Experian told me that I had to dispute them with XXXX, which I did. XXXX removed them. Experian still refuses to remove them, saying that XXXX is certifying that they are in their data base. XXXX is telling me that they are not certifying to Experian that these bankruptcies are in their database. Im caught in the middle. I have letters from XXXX saying they were removed, which Experian is ignoring. I want these items removed. It should not take years to have this corrected.

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I was a Simple Customer who was involved in the conversion from Simple to XXXX. If you don't remember simple, their main selling point - no fees. Literally across every document that I signed, every commercial and every notice. Fast forward to the conversion, and I called and was told that my service would remain the same, the interest fee would change and they had overdraft fees. I didn't have the choice to opt-out because I couldn't access my Simple account to bring my account to zero, and they were unwilling to cut a check. XXXX started saying they'd honor the terms of my original agreement, but that changed ... not during the transition. Not even 90 days after the transition, but on XX/XX/2021. The month before, I'd received my first notice of the transition to PNC with a note that " fee waivers '' will expire. Crazy because the account I signed up for didn't have fees. And at this point, I hadn't agreed to any of PNC 's terms. The transition wouldn't complete for another two months. 

Next thing I know, I'm charged over {$700.00} for transactions ( all of which were paid in full using my XXXX XXXX card ) as the transition to PNC loomed. I noticed this change in XXXX and attempted to get in touch with their team. I wasn't successful until XX/XX/XXXX, at which time, the transition to PNC was a few weeks away and I was told by their staff that this is an error, that it should be corrected, but that the staff member could only make adjustment to 4 of the over 20 ill-gotten funds. They referred me to another department that agreed, apologized and then said I'd have to go to a physical location ( over 40 minutes away ). I called for 4 days to set an appointment, but their excuse was that they were training for the conversion. I went to the branch and then they made me set up an appointment to come back again. Their manager called me, agreed that everything wasn't right and sent me to their escalations team. She mentioned they'd call in 2-3 days. Over 14 days later I get a single email from their team, ignoring all of my previous correspondence, implying that I'm being sensitive and emotional on the matter, and they proceeded to say that they couldn't help because of the transition. Aka, " we know you're right about this, but ooops, time has run out ''. Absolutely not.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Fed. Loan Servicing has refused to update my eligible payments to the Public Service Forgiveness Plan. I have called them multiple times about fixing this this problem. They keep saying that they are working on it, and sent me an email saying that they are trying to verify if my school qualifies. Obviously my school qualifies because it is a state school, so verifying this should take no more than 5 minutes. The problem is that I sent this information in XXXX of XXXX, and now it is XXXX of XXXX, It doesn't take 5 months to verify if a school qualifies for eligible payments. In addition, on their website it says they need more information from the government before granting anyone a limited waiver exemptions. However, it was very clear in the language in the media who qualifies for this waiver, which is all people who have direct loans. It's like Fed. Loan Serving is not serving loans anymore after this year. So, they are not making any effort on helping anyone. I want eligible payments updated ASAP, because I should not have to make any more payments. But, because they refuse to update their system I am unsure where I stand. Five months is a very long time to verify a school that could be done immediately. The fact is that they are still under contract and getting paid to help borrowers, so I would like my account updated. In the past, they denied eligible payments that other servicers deemed eligible payments. This is unethical, and unnecessary. At this point, I just want my account updated with eligible payments posted and late payments counted as eligible payments under the limited waiver rule. Please help!

Regardless of the multiple written requests, the unverified account COMENITYCAPITAL/EL D is still reporting on my credit report in violation of Federal Law.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted mutiple times to Equifax a letter asking them to provide method of verification for a bankruptcy they are reporting on my account. Back in XXXX I sent them a copy of the letter I received from the the bankruptcy courts letting them know that they do not provide any information to the any CRA regarding bankruptcy. 

I again sent a letter to Equifax in XXXX asking them to provide the method used to verify that the bankruptcy they are reporting on my CRA is accurate. They sent me a dated XX/XX/21, which states that they verified the bankruptcy with XXXX XXXX as accurate and that if I have any furhter questions to contact the bankruptcy court in XXXX MO, which would be the incorrect court to contact in regards to a bankruptcy in my area. 

Again they either did not investiage this or they are just lying in thier response. As you know from the complaint I filed agains XXXX XXXX they stated that this bankrupcty was deleted from my record with them on XX/XX/21. If that is the case, then there is no way the Equifax verfied this account with XXXX XXXX, or recieeved the information for me to contact a court in XXXX MO from XXXX XXXX.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On the morning of XX/XX/2021, I awoke to a withdrawal made on my EDD BoA debit card for the amount of {$5000.00}. As any sane person would, I immediately called the bank, waiting for over an hour to be helped, I finally got a pick up on the other line. I placed the complaint/dispute and was issued a new card which would take 7-10 business days. I waited a few days and received my card. As soon as I activated that card, I had an IMMEDIATE withdrawal for the rest of the funds in the account in the amount of {$2400.00}. I again call and was hung up on about 6 times until I finally got a nice rep and transferred to make yet another complaint/dispute. I was then allowed to make the dispute, then was told there was an online account attached to my said account. She stated I needed to remove that account so any further withdrawals could not be made. Why wasnt I told this the first time I made the complaint? I was told this until my account was at XXXX. I was then issued yet another card. Its been over 10 business days. I have not heard a word and I have nothing to pay my bills. With my electric bill due in 3 days I have XXXX to pay that off. BoA is saying the consumer has zero liability. I dont feel that way. To be fair, I also feel it was an inside job because they first tell me someone needed to call and make the first withdrawal, then to tell me its a linked online account making the said transfers. Transfers take some days, why werent they immediately refunded? BoA, you are failing.
