Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Applying for or obtaining a modification, forbearance plan, short sale, or deed-in-lieu
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX, I have been paying for well over XXXX  years towards this loan and the principal has not been reduced. Payments go only towards interest and I have been requesting help for some time and I have been successful in resolving this. The loan seems like a predatory loan. The interest has gone up significantly on my loan and the monthly payment with no explanation from the consumer as to why these financial increases have occurred. My current balance due at this time reflects {$XXXX}, the loan amount is {$XXXX}. 

The larger problem is that I have contacted customer service for help regarding the loan interest, and why the payments are increasing. The following questions can not be addressed when calling customer services. 

1. What is the term limit for my loan 2. how can the payment go towards the principal instead of interest?

3. What total amount have I paid for the last XXXX  years total.

4. Why and when was it decided that my monthly payments would increase? 
XXXX. Am I due to have XXXX days before this significant financial change that truly impacts my credit? 
XXXX. Why is the current statement reflecting {$XXXX} XXXX. What is the status of my modification and what other information is needed to decrease my monthly payments? 

I have called multiple times leaving every call more confused and worried that the Shellpoint company has created a predatory outcome for my current loan. 
My payment increases XXXX the amount but I have no idea why. 

Thank you

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding multiple overdraft fees I have incurred. despite having sufficient funds when transactions were authorized, I was charged fees due to lagged posting of charges and credits. This issue aligns with the recent CFPB findings against navy federal for similar practices, where transactions settled with insufficient balances despite initially available funds. I believe these practices are unfair and request an investigation into my account transactions.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX are not properly managing my credit report. These credit card companies are destroying my credit and I have never missed a payment. 

A credit score is very important to be a functioning member of society. That makes what these credit bureaus are doing illegal and highly unethical. 

I can only control my actions and I can not control anyone else 's. My credit score should be 100 % based on my actions and what choices I make. Currently, that is not the case because all the credit card companies that I had all reduced my available credit even though I had never missed a payment. This destroyed my credit because it shows that I maxed out all my cards. 

I clearly didn't max out any of my cards and have never missed a payment and so why are they allowed to destroy my credit??????? Why can a decision made by a credit card company affect my credit????????????? Why do I have zero control over my credit score?????????

I am filing a complaint against Equifax for failing to properly investigate my disputes regarding inaccuracies in my credit report. 
Despite my submissions, Equifax consistently responds within XXXX hours stating the account is accurate, without providing any evidence of a thorough investigation. 
This practice violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681i, which mandates a reasonable investigation of disputes. Furthermore, Equifax 's actions may also contravene the Consumer Financial Protection Act ( CFPA ), 12 U.S.C.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding Zelle 's handling of disputes, particularly in light of the recent CFPB lawsuit highlighting significant issues with the platform. Despite using Zelle numerous times and reporting discrepancies, my financial institution and Zelle failed to investigate my claims adequately. They informed me that recovering lost funds was impossible and that tracking these transactions was unfeasible. The CFPB 's findings indicate that Zelle has not only neglected to protect consumers but has also allowed repeat offenders to exploit the system, leaving users vulnerable to scams. This lack of accountability and transparency is unacceptable and raises serious concerns about consumer safety.

Company: Early Warning Services, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I was scammed out of a couple XXXX dollars for a job that I believed was real. I was told I would be given an allowance to purchase equipment needed for the job, but that I had to purchase it from a vendor so I needed to transfer the money. I used Zelle via XXXX to send the money. I believed everything was legitimate as I had to sign a job offer that had the company logo on it and it was XXXX of the jobs I had applied for. I let my bank, XXXX, know that I was involved in a scam and they said they would investigate. The money was sent through Zelle through my main checking account where I pay bills and receive my VA XXXX check. I was using my account regularly, as I have some bills on autopay. A few bill transactions processed and my bank freezed my account. I called in to ask why, and they stated it was due to the investigation. The investigation ended after about a week because I complained that I needed to access my money to pay bills. The bank lifted the freeze but deducted my XXXX payment that I received and overdrafted my account. They stated that because I used the money that was involved in the Zelle scam, that I was now responsible to pay back the money I was scammed out of. They never warned me ahead of time that my account would freeze or the consequences of using that account. I lost my XXXX payment, along with other money I had. I fell behind on my mortgage payment and other bills.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Hi, After my last XXXX complaints, the Citi Bank retaliated against me and has left comments on my credit history which has decreased my XXXX XXXX. 

Initially, nobody gave me proper instuctions or answer to my existing disputes. Now when someone from XXXX did, they also made sure to retaliate against the customer and have ruined my XXXX XXXX. 

Also, they have left the comments on my credit agencies and telling me that I need to call them and get it removed. If you guys are ones who put it, then you will be the one removing it. 

You can clearly see my 2 years of payment history with Citi Bank, all credits paid in full every month, you can also see the next payment due is already scheduled and yet you guys are trying to threaten me more that if I don't pay it, you will take action. 

I want everyone who is reading this to know, Citi Bank sucks and have the worst dispute department and process in place. Instead of calling a customer walking them through the whole process or providing detailed information, they were just trying to wing it with vague information.
