Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
My ex wife took out a VA loan on XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, KY XXXX. She is a veteran. I am not. My name was not on the deed when this loan was taken out. My ex wife refinanced the loan with Rocket Mortgage. Rocket Mortgage let me know my name would go on the deed upon refinancing. That did not happen. However, they did put me on the mortgage. I found this out when the house was to go upon the market for sale. The listing agent told me I had no ownership of the home. Please see attached report from the XXXX XXXX Kentucky assessor showing I am not an owner of the property. A copy of the accepted purchase contract is also attached. I am not an owner of the property so only the owner of the property is on the purchase contract. The property is scheduled to close around mid XX/XX/XXXX. The closing title attorneys are XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, KY. I believe their phone is XXXX. 

My ex wife quit paying on the home XXXX and XXXX of XXXX. We lived at different residences. I found out since she was not paying the house payment my credit was being negatively impacted. So I started paying the house payment for XXXX XXXX XXXX even though I had been living at a different address for over XXXX years. I did not want my credit ruined. I don't feel it is fair that I'm being negatively impacted on my XXXX XXXX for a home I do not own. 

I'm trying to purchase a home. I contacted my mortgage lender. Due to the XXXX late payments my ex wife did not pay, FHA will not approve me for my home loan.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I rented a car from XXXX XXXX between XXXX and they claimed that I was responsible for damage to the windshield. In the process, XXXX overcharged me on XXXX occasions : XXXX. The first time was during the checkout process. Attached is the receipt showing the charge breakdown which results in a XXXX euro overcharge. File name XXXX. 

XXXX. Also attached is the repair invoice from XXXX ( file name XXXX ) showing the cost of repair was XXXX euros for a total of XXXX euros with tax. 

XXXX charged me XXXX euros for a total of XXXX euros with tax. This means there was an additional overcharge of XXXX euros. 


Total : XXXX + XXXX = XXXX euro overcharge. 

I've disputed this multiple times with Citi through their website/app ; however, they have not done anything. They perform their investigation and then just respond by saying that I am responsible without really providing evidence or details. They also stated that overcharging is not considered fraud and hence they are not responsible for resolving the issue.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Hi, I opened a new XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX credit card in XX/XX/2022 and made my first purchase. As part of my purchase I received {$380.00} rewards in my 1st statement. 
I went to the XXXX XXXX  XXXX store in XX/XX/2022 and made a purchase of {$220.00} by using my rewards. The day after I checked my rewards balance it was showing as XXXX XXXX balance. I called customer service as I thought that it was a system error. They told me that rewards have to be used in one transaction and if I do not use it in one transaction, remaining balance is deleted. This was never communicated to me clearly neither I was applying to card in XX/XX/2022 or the day I was making a purchase in the store by using my rewards in XXXX. The sales clerk should have at least warned me about this. 
They told me that it is stated in terms and conditions. This has to be written as big as possible so customer can aware about this or at least store employees should inform customers about this. This is not fair! It is like a Scam! 
If I would have know this, I would not apply to this credit card. It is clearly a fraud!

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
My complaint is ethical in nature. I believe this credit card processor is purposely applying payments in a way that benefits them, and hinders the ability for the borrower to pay down balances. The company is Citibank. I have pointed out this practice with them in the past, yet they continue to apply payments in a way that harms the card holder. Citibank repeatedly sends promotional balance transfer offers and checks. On occasion, I choose to use their 0 % offers to pay for certain things, retain cash, help a friend, etc. in this uncertain time we are living in. As of XX/XX/XXXX, I had 3 such offers on account. They typically are 12 months in duration. Every month I pay minimum balance, usually plus some additional amount, to keep credit good and avoid any fees and high interest, etc. I had one offer that was expiring on XX/XX/XXXX that had a balance of {$1900.00}. I had another that expire in XXXX of XXXX in the amount of {$2300.00}. I have a third that expires in XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$8000.00}. I contacted them in late XX/XX/XXXX just prior to paying my expiring balance of {$1900.00} because I noticed that they were applying my minimum monthly payments to my promotional balance that was expiring the furthest in the future, the {$8000.00} balance. This would make the most current promotional balance, the {$1900.00} balance more difficult to pay, and they would then be able to apply all accrued interest, and begin charging 29 % interest on any unpaid promotional balance. This is a terrible practice! I pointed this out to them, and they refuse to make any adjustments to the balances. Furthermore, when reviewing my balance this month, I notice that they did exactly the same thing with my {$1900.00} payment that I made in XX/XX/XXXX. They applied the {$1900.00} payment that I made to my {$2300.00} balance, and began charging me 29 % interest on the {$1900.00} promotional balance that was meant to pay the remaining balance in full by the XX/XX/XXXX promotional expiration date. I am working with them to fix this issue, however, I am certain that they will do the same thing to my other promotional balances, and that they are doing this to many, many other customers. Under Citibanks payment model, it would make it difficult to every pay this balance off with them not charging 29 %, which is their goal, and again, a terrible practice.

Complaint narrative:
Received notification that a negative report was received on my credit by credit monitoring. XXXX XXXX was reporting that I owed a debt that I was not aware of. I disputed the debt after which time I received correspondence from the collection agency that I owed a debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX I do not owe XXXX XXXX so I sent the collection agency a debt validation request via certified mail. I received notification that my correspondence was received by the company on XX/XX/XXXX. In the meantime I have a wireless account with XXXX since XXXX and that is paid timely via autopay. On XX/XX/XXXX I purchased another from from XXXX, paying in installments payments but I did not activate it because the phone is supposed to a XXXX gift for my XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX to get another line so the new phone could be activated and to port over my grandsons number to the phone so he could have it for XXXX. I was told by the representative that a restriction had been added to my wireless account so she could not allow me to have another line, even though I have a wireless account in good standing. The representative preceded to tell me that I owed a balance ( over XXXX ) on an internet account with XXXX. I informed her that I have never had internet with XXXX. So she placed me on hold came back the phone and told me that it was XXXX for an account back in XXXX. I let the representative know that I did not owe XXXX anything and I had disputed this allegation and has received notification that they had received my certified correspondence. At time the representative got XXXX recovery on the phone. The recovery representative informed me that her records show that I owed XXXX. I once again explained that I did not owe XXXX anything and that I had disputed this charge. She asked me for the certified notification number, which I provided to her and the date of XX/XX/XXXX which was the date it was signed for and delivered. She placed me on hold and came back to tell me that there was nothing she could do because the account was closed and showing XXXX balance so I needed to contact the collection agency. Stated the restrictions was placed to prevent me from opening an account. Both myself and the XXXX XXXX representative was trying to explain that I already had an account, I was just trying to get another line in my existing account. At that time I was told the a XXXX XXXXXXXX would call me back in XXXX hours to see if they could help me. Today is XX/XX/XXXX and I have not heard anything from anyone and is XXXX of the reasons I am filing this complaint. The other reason is that I dont owe XXXX anything but they have placed a restriction on my wireless account, closed the account, wont lift the restriction but turned me over to an outside collection agency. 
I should be celebrating this time of year with my family but instead I am having to file a complaint regarding money that I dont owe

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: CARDINAL FINANCIAL COMPANY, LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage account is currently showing 180 days delinquent/past due on XXXX and XXXX, which is dropping my score tremendously. I'm unable to apply for needed loans or credit cards which has impacted my finances. I was in covid forbearance for 6 months, and I was current on my payments when I went into it. Under the CARES Act, my account should've been kept current. 

I have been trying to dispute this with the credit companies for 3 months. When I reached out months ago to the mortgage company they said someone from the credit department would get in contact with me and they never did. I also emailed about this issue on XX/XX/2022 with no follow-up.
