Consumer complaint received 2018-07-30 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: BB&T CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I called about getting a loan modification back in XX/XX/2015 when our mortgage payment jumped to {$200.00} more a month. I explained the financial troubles we were in and they suggested a loan modification. I was told they would be contacting me with some paper work that they would need. We were not late on any payments before or after the loan modification was done. During the modification I was told to not make any payments as this would mess up the process. I asked several times if this would effect our credit report and was told no repeatedly. The modification was approved and we started making the payments right away. When going over my credit report I noticed they did state that we were over 120 days late in our payments. I have called them explaining what I was told to do during the modification process. I was recently informed that because they do not have any voice record of the conversation they will not change our credit score because they believe them to be accurate and true. Though they did correct some months due to the fact that they had the paperwork but did not have it inputted into the system. Even though our payments show we were never late until the modification was started. I would like the negative report to be removed as we only did as the company asked of us. I would have never stopped paying on my mortgage if they hadn't instructed me to do so. I was told just this past week I could speak to someone at the Chairman 's Line ; who basically asked me nothing but my loan information and then sent me the same letter that they sent to me prior. I am attaching the letters that were sent to me. I have also spoken to people that I know that work in the mortgage field and they have all told me the same thing, that during the loan modification process they can not process payments as it screws up the paperwork.

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Beneficial Mortgage is in violation of 12 CFR Part 1024 ( Regulation X ).  On XX/XX/XXXX they insufficiently responded to CFPB case number XXXX in the following manner. 1- They have not explained why a wrong address and zip code was used in several documents as described in my original complaint. They did not provide a copy of the alleged tax return document they claim was used as part of the application process. 2- They  have not explained how the legal description of the property that is allegedly used as security for the mortgage is not the legal description of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX . They reference Tax Map Number XXXX as a means of identifying said property. Tax Map Number XXXX is the same Tax Map Number used for three of my deceased parent 's properties ; all with individual deeds. It is well known a Tax Map Number is not a legal means to identify a specific property. 3- They have not explained why the account number was changed. 4- They state they erroneously provided the wrong persons credit report which was not my deceased mothers, however, they did not provide me a copy of the correct credit report. 5- They still have not explained why they have the wrong birth dates for both my deceased parents listed in the credit reports they provided. 6- They have not explained why they can not provide a copy of the appraisal for the XX/XX/XXXX mortgage they underwrote. Beneficial continues to misrepresent the facts and continues to avoid answering my QWR 's with truth and completeness.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have a Citi Double Cash credit card for years and have accumulated a lot of cash back. On XX/XX/2018, my credit card was closed without any advanced notice. I noticed that my account was closed on XX/XX/XXXX when I tried to buy something using my credit card. I called Citi right away to confirm and also tried to redeem my cash back. I was told that I can't redeem my cash back, but an online representive told me that I can redeem my reward four days later ( XX/XX/XXXX ). 

I called Citi again on XX/XX/XXXX, and a representative AGREED to redeem my cash back and said a check will be mailed to me. However, TWO WEEKS later, I received a letter saying that my reward can not be redeem because the cash back was forfeited at the time of account closing. The only option to redeem my reward is to reopen my account. 

I called Citi again on XX/XX/XXXX to see why they refused to redeem my cash back. No clear explanation was given. An account manager said there is nothing she can do unless I reopen an account. However, I do not want to reopen an account because I have opened new credit cards during these two weeks I have waited. 

As a long time Citi customer, I felt I was poorly treated and everything is poorly communicated. With that said, I summarized my complaint below : 1. My account was closed WITHOUT any notice, even when I used the card EVERY DAY. 
2. Citi did not honor its promise. I was told that my reward could be redeemed on XX/XX/XXXX when I called, but Citi refused to do so later. 
3. Poor communication. I was informed TWO WEEKS later that my reward couldn't be redeemed unless I reopen my account. During these two weeks, I have opened new credit cards with other banks. I do not want to reopen an account because I do not want to open too many credit cards in such a short time frame.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I began mortgage rate shopping on XX/XX/XXXX for both a refinance and a new home purchase. Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I rate-shopped with approximately 5 lenders, who all made hard inquires into my credit reports. I chose a lender and refinanced my current home. There was an issue with this lender and I had to find a new one, and began rate shopping again on XX/XX/XXXX, with an approximate additional 5 lenders, and stopped on XX/XX/XXXX when I settled with a new lender. 

Each of these lenders assured me that rate shopping would not hurt my credit score because, as it says on CFPB 's website, " within a 45 day window, multiple credit checks from mortgage lenders are recorded on your credit report as a single inquiry ... you can shop around and get multiple pre-approvals and official Loan Estimates '' ( https :  //www.consumerfinance.gov/XXXX  ). 

My credit score has dropped approximately 30 points on Transunion, XXXX, and XXXX  as a result of these hard inquires. When I called Transunion and XXXX, both of the representatives told me that CFPB 's information is wrong, and that my score will decrease each time a hard inquiry is pulled.

This bank has continued to have horrible customer service through the phone as well as in the branch. Going into the location in XXXX  on XXXX XXXX XXXX was horrific. I came into the bank after speaking to c.s. about applying for a credit loan and opening a savings account when i got to the bank the banker was very nasty and yelled at me for listening to the lady on the phone because she didn't know what she was talking about. Furthermore going into the bank the teller told me the cash advance machine was down and the banker and teller both bombarded me saying i should have called the bank before i showed up and thats the problem with people who jist come to the bank and dont call first and call the XXXX  number. Further Customer service issues have occurred due to poor communication skills and bad information given. Lately its juat got to the point its a yelling match and often im just cursing and ready to close my account. I am so tired of being told one thing on the phone then something else in branch.
