Consumer complaint received 2023-10-06 00:00:00
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were fraud, 
inaccurate, and falsely reporting. To this date only response that I have received was computergenerated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your 
opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a 
stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I 
believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.
I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint 
with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
I further remind you that, as in White v. Experian Information Solutions,  993 F. Supp. 2d 1154 - Dist. 
Court, (CD California 2014); you may be liable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) by 
recklessly failing to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accurate reporting of debts discharged 
in bankruptcy and by refusing to adequately investigate consumer disputes regarding the status of 
discharged accounts.
I have requested that all NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS provide proof 
of alleged items. I request to be provided with specifically the original application, contract, note, or 
another instrument bearing my signature.
In addition, any the contract signed between NON CREDITORS, COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT 
COLLECTORS & the original creditor, notarized and sworn under penalty and perjury NON CREDITORS, 
COLLECTION AGENCIES, and DEBT COLLECTORS ability to collect this alleged debt.
I request this under 15 U.S. Code  1692g - Validation of debts. If information is not provided or the 
false reporting isnt removed; as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 (C.D.Cal. Nov. 14, 1995), 
you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 
100% accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is 
completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be reinvestigated.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP INC
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, our loan payment jumped by {$150.00}. We had no idea this was going to happen, because we never received an escrow analysis or notice from the loan servicer. They insist they sent it to us, but we never received it. They even accused me of not checking my mail rather than try to help. 

I eventually found the escrow analysis on their website, and it states incorrect information about escrow cushions. Where it calculates the " shortage '' it says that the escrow cushion must never *fall below* 2 months of escrow payments. This is backward- it should never exceed 2 months. And yet, they seem to have done their escrow calculation based on the incorrect information, and determined that we have a shortage of over {$1000.00} to bring the escrow cushion up to 2 months. 

Except there is no requirement for this, at all. They seem to have made this determination completely arbitrarily, based on incorrect information ( not letting the cushion fall below 2 months ). See the description in the attached escrow analysis, " Determining Escrow Shortage '' heading, on the first page. 

I spoke to them about this, and they refused to make any change. They insist that it is their right to collect escrow in whatever way they see fit, even if it is apparently based on an incorrect understanding of the regulations.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Truist Bank sends me letters on a monthly basis to tell me that I do not have homeowners insurance. I sent them proof from my insurance broker who sends them updates EVERY SINGLE time they send me a letter. They correct it for a few months then they send me another letter to say they will automatically purchase policies for me when I'm already insured. Then even after providing proof they still purchase a {$22000.00} policy and my mortgage payment goes from {$5600.00} to {$9000.00} without any warning and I'm told I now owe overdraft fees. 
Who is going to hold this company accountable for fraudulent business practices? 
I have to provide proof of wind, flood every 3 months - Why? 
I have every single letter they've sent me and can provide these as proof including all the policies they purchased for me automatically. 
I would not recommend anyone bank with Truist or obtain a mortgage from them as they clearly practice fraudulent business.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I made a payment for {$1800.00} and was told that the interest charge would be {$43.00}. 

Instead, I was charged {$86.00} I made countless efforts by Support chat and over the phone to correct the issue, but no agent was able to take actual power. They said it was because of trailing interest from a previous month, but that is entirely untrue, because the balance had been paid in full during those months.

Out of frustration, I have closed the account and will be paying the balance in full now to avoid future interest.

The systems from this company and credit card are completely mismatched with true information. The best example is not just the overcharging interest, but the fact that when I closed my card today that they could not close the account with the full balance paymentto say that another way : I tried to pay the full balance of all charges and they would not even accept it! Will I be charged interest on that?
