I advised XXXX # XXXX XXXX of the issues and she hung up on me. I called back and spoke with XXXX # XXXX regarding the issue again - no recourse ... so I asked to speak with a XXXX. XXXX XXXX # XXXX # XXXX - XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX was very rude would not let me talk until I called her out so she would listen.

I will never get another Capital One Credit Card Again ... ... It 's not worth the constant hassle. The employees at Capital One do n't appreciate where their paychecks come from

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I received a marketing campaign to refinance my property with Carrington Mortgage Services who currently services this loan. I was pre-approved and informed that I must secure an appraisal to close the refinance. Two weeks prior to closing, I was informed that this company does not finance manufactured homes and therefore would not be able to refinance mine. Again, this organization is already servicing this mortgage. The loan XXXX informed me that their data did not indicate that this was a manufactured home and therefore, he did n't know and had he known, he would not have pre-approved my application. Subsequently, they agreed to refund the amount I paid for the appraisal as there would have been no business need for me to purchase the appraisal if they had no intention or ability to refinance the property. I have yet to received the promised funds.

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, I reside at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX North Carolina. Suntrust Mortgage inc. has directed me to the substitute trustee over a {$980000.00} loan from XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and that is when I discovered they can not be the trustee and the XXXX of Suntrust Mortgage XXXX XXXX signed naming XXXX XXXX as substitute trustee but it wasnt done correctly. XXXX XXXX acted as XXXX XXXX notary on the same day. XXXX XXXX did not possess the required signing authority to sign mortgage operations documents on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Someone put a sticky note over the Exhibit to coverup the part that states the purpose of the exhibit then made a copy of it to remove this requirement. This page was then recorded at the clerk of court office along with the outdated and expired faulty appendix A. How can Suntrust Mortgage use a outdated mortgage delegation signing authority document that expired over 3 months before XXXX XXXX even named the substitute trustee to foreclose? I have requested this proceeding be dismissed since the substitute trustee was not correctly nominated by XXXX XXXX, but they keep telling me to call the substitute trustee who is a nice enough guy but hes was not correctly substituted. Please also look into how XXXX XXXX was able to verify and notarize a document that was 3 months out of date. Please notify me in writing once this proceeding has been dismissed since the signing XXXX of the corporation was not in possession of signing authority when he nominated XXXX XXXX of XXXX.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX checks were deposited into my TD Bank account without my knowledge or authorization. The signatures on the back of the checks are a forgery of my signature. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX there were XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX unauthorized ATM withdrawals from my account. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX there were three ( 3 XXXX unauthorized ATM withdrawals. There was also an unauthorized charge made at a XXXX store. TD Bank called me to report a possible illegal transaction. I confirmed with TD Bank by phone that the transactions were indeed fraudulent transactions. I had virtually no money in my account so therefore I should have had no activity. TD Bank can easily ascertain that the transactions were unusual for my account as they obviously presumed when TD Bank called me to report the unusual activity. I filed a Police report as soon as I received the telephone call from TD Bank alerting me to the fraud. TD Bank had carried a negative - {$2100.00} on my account for four ( 4 ) months. Then for several months I received bank statements and the negative- {$2100.00} did not appear. I recently settled a XXXX ' XXXX case. Once the settlement was deposited into my TD Bank account, TD Bank used " self help '' and debited my account for {$2100.00} ( XXXX offset ). This was the amount that was illegally obtained through their ATM machines. TD Bank, knew that I was a victim of fraud. TD Bank 's erroneous position that I am liable for the theft that TD Bank allowed to occur at their ATM machines is ridiculous. The XXXX detective informed me that the video at the ATM machines where the crimes were perpetrated clearly show that I am not the person at the ATM machine withdrawing the money.

Complaint narrative:
A month ago after checking my credit report I noticed a debt collector named XXXX XXXX listed on my credit report. I called them and they said it was an account from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I told them Ive never had XXXX XXXX XXXX. Yet they said I still owe this balance. I then asked my mom and sister if they opened anything up in my name because they did it before without my permission. My sister finally owned up and said she did, and that she would pay it off. So on XXXX she said she called XXXX XXXX and paid the money that was owed on case number XXXX said she asked them could they delete it off my credit. They said no and that they could only report it as paid in full with a {$0.00} balance. And that they have no way how to get it removed. I dont understand how they can report it to the bureau but they cant get it removed. Especially when the FCRA gives them that right to do so.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
An additional complaint against Experian. I requested my credit score from Experian and in the process of paying for this score, I was also asked to create an account. I was faudulently charged {$39.00} instead of {$4.00} for this experian credit score, and I submitted a complaint to the CFPB ( # XXXX ). Thereafter I called Experian to inform them that I filed a complaint with the CFPB against them and wanted to provide Experian with the complaint number, only to be informed that the {$4.00} was for the 1st month and that I would be charged {$19.00} thereafter for a monthly membership! A fact I was not aware of until I called Experian to provide my CFPB complaint number to them. I never signed up to be a member of the club of consumers requesting their credit score, that makes no sense. The Experian representative informed me that the membership information and charges were tucked away in the terms and conditions link. I informed the respresentative that such information ( charges, any sort of membership etc, etc ) must appear upfront and not in any terms and conditions. I never clicked on or read the information in the terms and conditions, because {$4.00} was such a small amount. 


I told the representative I never agreed to any membership or any membership fee, and that I wanted to cancel this " membership. '' While on the phone with this representative I also asked her where in my experian account online could I cancel this " membership? '' The representative informed me there was no way for a person to cancel the membership online, and that anyone wishing to cancel their membership must call Experian to cancel, this is despite the fact that I created the account online. So I had her cancel the membership. 

Though my complaint is technically resolved, the CFPB should be made aware that there are millions of other consumers that would no doubt have fallen victim to Experian 's fraud.

Complaint narrative:
1. I had a second mortgage on a property that was discharged in a chapter XXXX bankruptcy in XXXX. 
2. The lien on this property was settled and removed in XXXX. 
3. SLS, mortgaging service company, and debt collector, sent a fictitious bill dated XX/XX/XXXX. The outstanding principal showed approximately XXXX but the principal on the bill showed {$1.00}. Despite the principal obviously being XXXX SLS did not acknowledge the chapter XXXX discharge and was falsely attempting to get me to reinstate the debt. 
4. I informed SLS of their error and SLS sent correspondence dated XX/XX/XXXX acknowledging their error and informing me they would update their records. 
5. On XX/XX/XXXX SLS attempted once again to tempt me into reinstating this debt, failed to obey bankruptcy laws, etc. This is a deliberate and systemic collection practice that needs to be addressed.
