Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I purchased my home through U. S Bank three years ago. I have never been late on my mortgage. My income dropped quite a bit which is causing me to struggle to pay my mortgage. I had a couple of charitable organizations help me, therefore my mortgage is still current. 
I asked U. S Bank for Loss Mitigation help or a modification. They are just giving me the runaround. First they said they were processing it, then they stated that they ca n't help me because my mortgage is current and must be behind at least three months past due. 
That is ridiculous and sound like they are just blowing me off. Please help me.

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:
Per my Equifax credit report last checked on XX/XX/XXXX Confirmation # : XXXX there is an account that should not be on my credit report. I have tried 5 times in XX/XX/XXXX to remove a XXXX XXXX XXXX account from my credit as inaccurate information is being reported. I have found a major discrepancy and I have tried many times to correct the issue directly with XXXX XXXX XXXX and Equifax as well but have gotten no where with the issue. The date of first delinquency on this account is incorrect. Back in XX/XX/XXXX the car that I had financed at the time through XXXX XXXX XXXX was repossessed. For some reason they are reporting to Equifax that the date of first delinquency was on XX/XX/XXXX. It is impossible for a car to be repossessed by the bank if the consumer is not past due therefore the date of first delinquency is incorrect. The other inaccuracy I found was that the 81 Month Payment Chart does n't even match the date of first delinquency. For the 81 months shown on the payment chart it is full of NR ( Not Reported ) or CO ( Charge Off ). On the 81 Month Payment chart on XX/XX/XXXX which is the supposedly date of first delinquency XXXX XXXX reported NR ( Not Reported ). If I were delinquent on that date the 81 Month Payment chart should reflect a 30,60,90,120 etc showing some sort of proof that I was late. The information that they are reporting within itself does n't match. Let alone it is the incorrect date. If the account would be reported correctly with the correct date of first delinquency being XX/XX/XXXX when the car financed was repossessed the 7 years from that date would of been in XX/XX/XXXX meaning that this item would no longer even be on my credit report. Please review the details of this account carefully as you will find exactly what I am referring to and see that this account should be removed from my Equifax report. One last thing I would like to add is that XXXX  and XXXX removed this account on their own as they had the correct information being reported at the time and automatically removed the account at the 7 years from the date of first delinquency. Equifax is the only bureau with the problem.

Company: Conn's, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, my husband paid the remaining account balance of {$2500.00}. The transaction withdrew from my account on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, we called and asked to get a XXXX-balance verification. Conns stated that they did n't show the payment being made. We were then transferred to the customer service line. The individual we spoke with stated they would start an investigation and requested a copy of our bank statement be emailed to them. We emailed it to them immediately that same day on the XX/XX/XXXX. We spoke with customer service again on the XX/XX/XXXX. They originally stated they could not find the bank statements, but were able to locate them. On the evening of XX/XX/XXXX, I went into the XXXX store location at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX. I brought a copy of my bank statement in hand. I asked to verify my account balance. It still showed {$2500.00}. I asked the representative to please speak with the manager. She leaves only to come back and dial the customer service line. I advised her that I had already spoken with them and did n't feel any progress was being made to please get the manager. She hands me the phone to speak with customer service. They again stated they would look into it. I suggested that I could have my bank send them something directly or I could pay to have the bank notarize a statement. I expressed my urgency ; needed this verification by XX/XX/XXXX. She stated she could n't help me. I can understand needing to verify that I made payment. I do not feel it 's appropriate for them to allow the customer to feel the consequences of their mistakes. They knowingly admit to the fact that I paid the balance. What they are " investigating '' is what happened to the money after they received it. All while leaving my account open and telling me multiple times I still must make payments until rectified. The manger never came to speak to me. The manager did not even acknowledge I was there. I waited 30 minutes. I this point I 'm fairly certain that a simple accounting error would have been corrected in 48 hours or less. I 'm worried now that either the associate stole my payment or appropriated it to someone else 's account. Either way they have no sense of urgency about correcting it. I again called the customer service line on XX/XX/XXXX, I asked for an email or letter stating the situation and that it is being investigated. The customer service manager stated that they would not comply due to liability issues. Yet they have no qualms with holding me legally responsible to make payments on a now fictitious account. This situation has been verified to be an internal problem. It should have been handled internally. This is not only poor business ethics at some point it becomes theft.

Company: BMO BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I have been a XXXX XXXX XXXX customer for decades. Since XXXX XXXX has come into control of the XXXX XXXX XXXX brand, I have experienced numerous difficulties not encountered with other credit card companies or banking institutions. I keep the account because I travel professionally, and certain features of this card are very helpful. I have yet another problem. On Tue XX/XX/XXXX I  made anonline payment ( an extra payment in addition to my normal monthly payment ) of {$1700.00}. I printed the confirmation from the XXXX 's website. Keeping in mind that XXXX XXXX is a XXXX corporation, there is no reason to believe that the US holiday of XXXX could interfere in any way with accreditation of payments. However, this payment did not clear my banking account until Fri XX/XX/XXXX, a delay of 3 days. Today, 1 week after payment was rendered, and 4 days after clearing my bank account, I have still not received credit for the payment on the XXXX 's website. I paid several bills that day, and all of them ( except XXXX 's ) were credited the very next day. Today, Tue XX/XX/XXXX, fully 1 week after the payment was rendered, I attempted to confirm the payment had been credited, and in doing so I printed out the appropriate XXXX 's webpage ( " New Transactions Since Last Statement '' ). That payment has still not been credited towards my account. Therefore, I am paying interest on the outstanding balance for that extra week. It is not the actual interest amount that is concerning. I am asking your help in determining whether this constitutes a breach of XXXX XXXX 's fiduciary responsibility and for help in contacting XXXX XXXX. You see, in addition to failure to post my payment, the corporation 's " Contact Us '' feature, which provides an online template for comments and queries does not work. It allows entry of all necessary information, but after clicking the " Submit '' button, a popular page appears, saying, " Error 500 : FormAttributes is null or empty ''. For the record, all template blanks were properly filled ; I made a record of this by printing screenshots of the attempts. As I have had so many similar and related problems with XXXX XXXX, I prefer all contact with the corporation to be in writing, and there seems to be no other way to send expedited communication to XXXX ( no customer service email address is provided ). In recapping, XXXX XXXX has withheld credit towards my XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card balance unduly, which is presumably accruing undue interest. Additionally, the institution seems to provide no means for written queries other than through paper means, which is completely unreasonable in this digital age.

Company: BANK OF THE WEST
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
My husband got sick and has n't been able to work since XX/XX/XXXX. We went to the bank about our mortgage within a month of this. We have been in contact with them many times since. We have fallen behind many times since because we have had many issues with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in getting his sick pay and his XXXX. His sick pay would be held from 4-8 weeks at a time. When we did get a check we paid the note up to date. We even borrowed XXXX from relatives to catch it up and no matter what we have paid on the loan it just keeps going up instead of down. In XX/XX/XXXX we owed XXXX. on the loan now it is at XXXX. for payoff. We have tried to pay but no matter what we pay it does n't go down. W have contacted the Bank over and over and all they tell us is we are going to foreclose. We have tried to request a refinance and modulations at least 6 times since XX/XX/XXXX and have been turned down. We have decided to just sell and take what we can and move to an area that we could live easier. The Bank has put the house in for-closer as soon as we put it on the market. So we ca n't get any equity out of the home to start over. The Bank Of the West in Nebraska will not tell us when we have to get out or anything they just want us to pay the XXXX or else. We do n't know what to do. My husband is a veteran and worked for the XXXX for 23 years. I hope you can help. We make payments and it is never accounted to our bill and when we talk to them they change the rules every time.

Complaint narrative:
DURING XX/XX/XXXX I HAVE MADE ( OFFERED ) ONE PAYMENT OF {$1500.00}. - SEVEN PAYMENTS OF {$1400.00}. AND ONE CASHIERS CHECK OF {$2900.00} TO PHH MORTGAGE. THESE AMOUNTS TOTAL {$14000.00}. 

PHH MORTGAGE IS PURPOSEFULLY MANIPULATING AND REJECTING PAYMENTS MADE TO THEM. EXAMPLE, IN XX/XX/XXXX I MADE A {$1500.00}. PAYMENT TO PHH MORTGAGE AGAINST A REQUIRED AMOUNT OF {$1300.00} PAYING IN {$130.00} EXTRA. IN XX/XX/XXXX PHH BILLED A {$120.00} ESCROW SHORTAGE ( SEE XX/XX/XXXX/17 PHH LETTER ). I NEVER RECEIVED THIS BILLING. IN XX/XX/XXXX PHH REJECTED MY {$1400.00} MONTHLY PAYMENT AS IT DID NOT COVER THE {$120.00} ESCROW BILLING AND THE REQUIRED {$1300.00} AMOUNTS THEY WANTED. THEY RETURNED 4 OF THE NEXT 5 PAYMENTS. THE XX/XX/XXXX THEY KEPT BUT IT DOES NOT SHOW ON THEIR " CUSTOMER ACCOUNT ACTIVITY STATEMENT '' THEY REPORTED FALSE INFORMATION TO THE CREDIT BUREAUS SEVERELY DAMAGING BOTH MINE AND MY EXWIFE 'S CREDIT RATING. THEY HAVE PURPOSEFULLY DID THIS TO US AND ACCORDING TO MY REALTOR AGENTS HAVE DID THIS AND WORSE TO OTHERS. 

I REQUEST AN IN DEPTH ACCOUNTING OF PHH MORTGAGE AND ITS UNFAIR TACTICS. THEY DID NOT APPLY MY XX/XX/XXXX PAYMENT ON THEIR " CUSTOMER ACCOUNT ACTIVITY STATEMENT ''. NOR DID THEY RETURN THIS PAYMENT TO ME LIKE THEY DID WITH 4 OTHER MONTHLY PAYMENTS MADE TO THEM. I SOLD THE PROPERTY AND PHH TOOK {$120000.00} OF THE PROCEEDS AGAINST A BALANCE OF {$110000.00} SHOWING OWED ON THEIR " CUSTOMER ACCOUNT ACTIVITY STATEMENT '', A DIFFERENCE OF {$2200.00}. 

I WANT PHH TO 1. RETURN MY {$1400.00}. THEY HAVE NOT APPLIED TO MY LOAN. 2. RETURN THE {$2200.00} THAT WAS MORE THAN THE AMOUNT PHH TOLD ME AND THEIR " CUSTOMER ACCOUNT ACTVITY STATEMENT '' INDICATED WAS DUE. 3. ALL LATE FEES AND OTHER MALARKY NEEDS TO BE REPAID. 4 MOST, IMPORTANTLY PHH MORTGAGE NEEDS TO CORRECT CREDIT BUREAU INFORMATION ON BOTH MY EX-WIFE AND MYSELF, AND PROVIDE PROOF OF DOING SO.
