Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score — Problem getting your free annual credit report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
REQUEST FOR FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORT!!! 
I believe that each consumer reporting agency has invalidated the true spirit of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Act first established XX/XX/2003 was intended to establish a plan whereas common American citizens could obtain a copy of their credit reports at least once a year free of charge. Since each credit reporting agency now has marketing divisions such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX  XXXX, the automation system to obtain the free annual reports is looped into an information request to steer citizens into additional product offers that are excessive and unnecessary. Even though I may have received an approval of an updated credit report from either XXXX, Trans Union or XXXX   respectively, it is unfair that I need to do a mail request since I can submit my personal information through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) portal. I believe that since the CFPB is the sole responsible oversight party of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, its imperative that any additional solicitation of information from the credit bureaus should be blocked permanently. I along with any other citizen should receive a free credit report upon request. The credit reporting agencies are an important aspect of the national banking system to properly function, but the current aggressive marketing campaign soliciting citizens for an arbitrary FICO score has gone too far, including but not limited to Experian XXXX. We must return to a common ground that is fair for all consumers in the United States, and we must be able to request additional marketing on our own terms. Accordingly, I am making a request for a free credit report with confirmation number to my attached email address. Thank you.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
We started the refinance of our house with WellsFargo back in XX/XX/2020. 
The re-finance was approved, processed, and closed on XXXX XX/XX/2020. 

However, 1. The final numbers on the final statement provided by the escrow company do not match the numbers provided by Bank. We have raised the concerns multiple times with the gent of the bank ( will refer to as " the bank '' ), but the bank did not provide help clarifying the confusion and mismatch of numbers. 

2.there are 500+ USD pre-paid credit card charges ( for appraisal, but later waived since they accepted our previously provided appraisal report ), which should have been refunded in late XX/XX/2020, never refunded ( as of mid-XX/XX/2020 ). The bank agent is not helping give explanations. 

The above mismatches and refund issues were not helped by the bank mortgage agent. The issues remain for 3 months and counting. It made us feel the bank is not properly handling our case and made us lost confidence and trust talking to the agent, which is the only interface that has the context of our case.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I opened up a Discover Bank Credit Card. I was making my payments on time. In XX/XX/XXXX I filed for Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy and it was discharged.The credit Card was included in the bankruptcy. For some reason, the Discover Bank credit card was still reporting on my credit report just recently and is affecting my credit score because it shows up as an inquiry/derogatory. 

I hired a 3rd party company to try and dispute this. They reached out to Discover Bank but all Discover Bank did was update it rather than delete it off my credit report. I would like this removed off my credit report so that it does not report on my credit report anymore.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
NewRez took over my mortgage from XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I had on multiple occasions requested that XXXX NOT escrow my taxes. I received a statement for the full amount including escrow due XX/XX/XXXX XXXX {$2300.00} XXXX which I sent to XXXX before XX/XX/XXXX. 
NewRez did NOT set up my account for escrow. They had a Regular Payment amount of {$1200.00}, creating a difference of XXXX. 
On or about XX/XX/XXXX I spoke to XXXX at New Rez. She was going to request the refund of {$1000.00}. 
When I did not hear back or receive the funds in my checking account, I called again. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke to XXXX XXXX. He saw the same info and was requesting a refund IN MY NAME ONLY. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke to XXXX XXXX. Again I was promised that the funds would be deposited back into my account within 3-5 business days. 
I called on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to XXXX XXXX. She said the requests were denied by the payment processing group since the funds being requested for refund were over 30 days old. My payment had been applied to the principal of my loan. I explained that I NEED the funds to complete my real estate taxes. She was escalating this to her manager or to the payment processing group. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I called and spoke to XXXX XXXX. He was sending it again to payment processing with a note that I had started the request well within the 30 day window. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I called and spoke to XXXX XXXX. They are refunding the XXXX that they have escrowed towards homeowners insurance. ( I did receive this check payable to me and my deceased husband whose death certificate has been on file with them, but that is another story. 
I received a phone call from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I dont have this date written down, but it may be XX/XX/XXXX. He was going to get the {$1000.00} put into my bank account. He asked for this information regarding bank routing number and my account number ( had previously been supplied to numerous contacts in his company ). 
The second installment of my taxes is due XX/XX/XXXX. I am counting on this money to complete my payment.

Company: UMPQUA HOLDINGS CORPORATION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Hello, in early XXXX I opened a new checking account with Umpqua Bank to take advantage of the {$500.00} new account bonus. As part of funding my new account, I used my brother 's ( XXXX XXXX ) credit card to fund my account with {$2000.00}. Around 10 days after my account was opened, Umpqua Bank locked my account. I provided Umpua Bank with a picture of me holding my ID, my brother holding his ID, and also a picture of the credit card used to fund the account. I have been in contact with XXXX XXXX, AVP, Store Manager of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Branch since XXXX. As per XXXX, because I used my brother 's credit card to fund the account, my account has to remain locked. ( this was not mentioned at the online website where I funded my checking account ). It's now been 4 months since my account has been locked with no resolution in sight. 

I am attaching the ongoing email thread I have with XXXX XXXX, AVP of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Branch. 

I have now moved out of my apartment in XXXX, and do not have access to any documents that Umpqua Bank sends to me via mail. I can not update the address since I do not have access to the online portal.
