Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, On XXXX of 2016 XXXX XXXX XXXX   reported my monthly payment as being late. I called XXXX XXXX the moment I noticed this on my Credit Report. I have never been late on any of my Credit Cards or loans. I never received a statement from XXXX XXXX as I always did, therefore I did make the payment on time due to their negligence on sending the statements. I also never received a phone call from them letting me know about the payment. While speaking with XXXX XXXX there was an individual that stated I should have received a noticed by mail and a phone call ( I believe his name was XXXX ) If the phone calls are recorded then XXXX XXXX should have that information on file, this individual admitted that XXXX XXXX did not take the necessary steps in this situation. I have disputed this item multiple times and it was removed from the Credit Bureaus in the past, but then it is added again ( It just recently happened again ) XXXX XXXX Negligence to provide me with proper community when it comes to payments has affected my credit score and caused stress in my life. Loan interests are higher due to this and it has taken time out of my busy schedule to provide these letters in the hopes to get this rectified. I pride myself on having pristine credit and XXXX XXXX has affected a lifetime of work on my credit. I'm not asking for any money, all I want is fair treatment and to have this item removed. XXXX XXXX is a large Corporation and it is not fair for them to treat a client this way. It is very disappointing how I have been treated and hope to get this resolved. 

Thank you. 

I have submitted this complaint to your office in the past I appreciate any help you may provide to get this handled.

I would like to have the late noticed removed from all of my Credit Reports I will also be filing with the Attorney General 's office

Company: GREAT LAKES
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
This is the second time I have requested a reduction in payment from Great Lakes and received a notice 2 months later that my payment was over {$100.00} more than when I submitted. It turned out the first time XX/XX/XXXX they lost my paperwork. I had to reapply, all the time the interest continues to build.I am having this problem with Great Lakes again. I contacted them very upset. The agent took my information, saw my application sitting in the system and did something to cue it. Again, interest still adding up. I received a phone call from someone who identified themselves from Great Lakes who offered me a year payment of {$1400.00} per month which was lower than the {$1500.00} I was paying. This was a major expense and many times left me without money to pay utility bills and buy food. In XXXX, XXXX my husband had a XXXX XXXX. His company outsourced their tech services and the technicians were picked up but at a cut of {$10000.00} less in their salaries. I contacted Great Lakes again in XX/XX/XXXX as I was not able to make the payment. The agent asked me if I thought of submitting a reduction in payment application or whatever it is called and I told her that I did that last year, but the effort and annoyance only yielded me {$100.00} less, barely. She gave me an estimate over the phone based on the information I could provide which was significantly lower than what I was currently being asked to pay. I had the paperwork of everything she used to get the estimate, so my numbers were accurate. Again, I submitted my information and on this past Friday received notice from Great Lakes that on XX/XX/XXXX my payment would be {$1500.00}. I sincerely believe Great Lakes is intentionally causing significant interest accumiliations on my student loan account. As it is, my account has swelled significantly since dealing with them. I am so disgusted with them. No company can be this inept and continue to operate millions of dollars. How much has their inability to process my request cost me, twice over, in interest costs. The fact that I have another student loan separate from this one allows me to receive a reduction. I am not even able to complete my doctoral work because I have taken my all of my classes less 1 credit which I need when I defend my research findings and need to finish my dissertation but the student loan system does not allow a stop on your loan if you don't take two courses. Now XXXX College is requiring you to be enrolled to defend your proposal and I can't afford with my student loan payments. 

I hope CFPB can help me to acquire doable solution.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I recently received a {$100.00} settlement check from Citibank. This check was a refund for the credit protection plan that I purchased. When I tried to use the credit protection plan, i was denied. This denial has cost me thousands of dollars and a lot of stress. It ultimately resulted in garnishment against my wages. I do not want to accept this settlement, which looks as if it was initiated by CFPB. I have contacted a lawyer and we need to know if this settlement is my only means of recourse -- i.e. can I bring about a lawsuit on my own. 
I have not and will not cash that small sum. The shame, embarrassment, strife and stress that has been caused in my life are worth more than a {$100.00} reimbursement of payments made. 

After being denied usage of the consumer protection plan that I paid for -- for years, I contacted a credit counseling agency. Every credit card I had accepted the arrangement -- except Citbank. As noted on the attached file, after contacting consumer credit counseling, I made payment arrangements with Citibank. Instead of those payments being applied to the account ... a partial deferred action was placed ... so I was paying {$300.00} plus a month and nothing was being taken off of the account. I fell behind and couldn't pay.

Company: RUSHMORE LOAN MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage is serviced by Rushmore Loan Management. Rushmore has been servicing my loan since XX/XX/XXXX and overcharges me every month. As of XX/XX/XXXX, the fraudulent charges from Rushmore reached {$43000.00}. My past due interest is {$94000.00}, unpaid escrow is {$21000.00}, and no past due principal. Totaling {$110000.00}. These figures are from a Rushmore payoff Statement and are consistent with the terms of my loan. However, Rushmore 's XX/XX/XXXX monthly statement states that as of XX/XX/XXXX, my total overdue is {$150000.00}. 
The overcharges stem from Rushmore multiple mistakes and fraudulent acts : 1 ) Overstating the past due amounts incurred before my loan was sold and Rushmore became the servicer. These overstatements are from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX and total {$12000.00}. 2 ) Rushmore is collecting for a past escrow deficiency of {$21000.00}. This is legitimate. Rushmore bills me at least {$2300.00} each month to recoup this amount. When I do not pay it, Rushmore adds {$2300.00} to my past due amount. That is NOT correct. The past due amount of {$21000.00} remains unchanged and does not grow each month. This overcharge for 9 months is {$21000.00}. 3 ) I do not know what the remainder of the overcharge is. 
I have raised these issue with Rushmore multiple times and they do not address it and don't appear to have the competence to figure out that their systems are making mistakes. Rushmore 's gross $ XXXX overstatement of my past due charges has harmed my ability to be fairly considered for a loan modification. And Rushmore is reporting the overstated charges to the credit agencies, hurting my credit more than it deserves. 
I hired Consumer Arbitration Services to Help me after no success on my own, but XXXX XXXX XXXX is a fraudulent firm. 
A foreclosure sale has been scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX. Even if CFPB can't stop the sale, I need help so that Rushmore stops overcharging me and not giving me a fair shot at a loan modification. 
Also, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX needs to be disbarred and put out of business.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax.com asked me authentication questions that come from my credit report to verify I'm me. One question asked me what company I had an auto loan with. I've never had an auto loan, so I answered " none of the above. '' It asked me non-applicable question after non-applicable question like that. It said it couldn't verify me based on the questions. What? I answered every single question correctly. 

I have filed complaints against Equifax, but, instead of addressing and fixing the issue, they respond back with : " Dear XXXX XXXX, we received the complaint you submitted through the CFPB Portal. Please be advised that the authentication questions on the Equifax website are questions designed to be known only by you. Please be aware that these questions are in no way an indication that the given information is in fact reporting on your Equifax Credit Report. These questions may or may not be applicable to you.

Please note that for future disputes of credit report information, you may visit www.equifax.com '' When I go to other sites such as usps.gov that use authentication questions from my credit report, they always claim I answered the questions wrong too.

Complaint narrative:
I was residing with a person who was renting a home, I was not on the lease as a person responsible for payment. Just an additional person living in the home. I am receiving letters that a debt has been sent to a debt collector. When we moved out the balance was {$0.00}, no deposit was returned, property was not damaged, no letter was sent to a final bill or money owed, no contact with the property manager from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX when I received a letter. I responded with a written response that I deny the debt. I didnt hear anything else. Then XX/XX/XXXX I was sent a letter with a lesser amount to pay. I was never advised of this debt before it went to collections and they did not notify the resident responsible for payment. XXXX XXXX did not send a bill or communicate before the collection agency and this is not proper. They can not produce verification of the debt but we have paperwork with a XXXX balance. Debt was sent to Rent Recovery Solutions LLC, who hold many complaints of misconduct and fraud.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
My car was stolen on XX/XX/XXXX. The police recovered it on XX/XX/XXXX and my primary insurance company, XXXX XXXX XXXX, deemed it a total loss. I also have GAP insurance thru a subsidiary of XXXX XXXX. The loan is thru CHASE Bank. I contacted Chase bank customer service, who transferred me around 5 times, having to repeat the same story to XXXX different people. They finally transferred me to a department that was now in charge of my account. During this time period, I did not receive any information from CHASE Bank, they did not contact me by phone to inform me in writing regarding any information on my account. On XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment of {$440.00}, which is my car payment. CHASE had assessed me a late charge but WAIVED the late charge on XX/XX/XXXX. CHASE then received and credited a payment from my insurance company, XXXX XXXX XXXX, in the amount of {$14000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX Further, CHASE received and credited to my account a payment from my GAP insurance company of {$1100.00} on XX/XX/. CHASE REFUSES to acknowledge those payments on my behalf, from my insurance companies, and that THEY credited to MY account as payments on my account and has DESTROYED my credit score by reporting me as late/delinquent. They have done this because as one of their customer service representatives explained to me, payments from MY insurance company on MY behalf don't count as payments. REALLY??? They have received payments and credited payments on my loan, from my insurance companies, on my behalf, yet they can just erroneously ruin my credit because they have some INTERNAL POLICY that WILL ACCEPT the money but WON'T accept payments on my loan on my behalf. I am not seeking any type of financial compensation, although I do believe they should also WAIVE the 2nd late charge, they have assessed me of {$22.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, AFTER receiving PAYMENT from my insurance company. I am seeking relief from CHASE Bank 's internal policies that PENALIZE CUSTOMERS for NO good reason and to REMOVE the DEROGATORY credit information that they placed onto my credit reports, which is now on my report for 7 years! The Credit Bureau 's won't do anything, they take the side of the Creditors. Frankly it is amazing, I am the victim of a crime with my car being stolen and now I am the victim of Corporate Arrogance from CHASE Bank, who is destroying my credit for 7 years! Thank you!
