I can see that many more people are having the same issue and although the status on their website says there are no issues obviously lots of people are suffering from this company.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In the past 5 months, there have been XXXX fraudulent charges on XXXX Wells Fargo accounts ; a checking and a credit card account. Given fraud on the debit card, Wells Fargo cancelled my card and reissued a new card. Within 3 months of the new card being issued, there was new fraud on the debit card. The latest was {$31.00} for a XXXX clothing store charge apparently made over the phone - i.e. the card was never swiped since it has been in my possession. Most importantly, I have never once used this new card with new account details ( not once in an ATM, online, swiping, over the phone, never XXXX yet somehow its details were stolen within 3 months. I believe Wells Fargo is negligent in protecting client information ; either an employee is selling client information or there system has been hacked, however they provide no clarity. 

They also initially failed to even cancel the maintenance charge since I ca n't even use the account since it 's constantly frozen with fraud charges/I 'm awaiting new cards. They were more than unhelpful an sales representatives were aggressive and confrontational. Over the phone, no explanation of how this could happen was provided and I felt the call center was discouraging me from contacting the CFPB, saying they take making formal complaints a very serious matter, suggesting that the theft and illegal use of my card details was not sufficient.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My identity was stolen and my XXXX XXXX XXXX   MasterCard credit card was used to make a purchase for {$610.00} on XX/XX/XXXX.  XXXX XXXX notified me, via U.S. mail, on XX/XX/XXXX that a restriction was placed on my card to until they could confirm that there is no fraud occurring. I was directed to call Synchrony 's XXXX number to discuss this with them. I called Synchrony and was told that a purchase was made on my card for {$610.00}, and I was asked if I made that purchase. I DID NOT make that purchase. XXXX XXXX said its fraud department would instigate and investigation. I have had numerous discussions with Synchrony 's fraud department. The bank had me call the " alleged '' vendor, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX at XXXX. I called this number, and it is disconnected. I called back to the Synchrony 's fraud department and told them the number is disconnected. Synchrony then asked that I contact PayPal. I called PayPal, and PayPal verified that I did not make the {$610.00} purchase. I called XXXX XXXX and told them what I found out. One of Synchrony 's investigators even admitted to me that they did not do a good investigation. He said they would investigate further. I spoke with my attorney in the meantime, and he told me that XXXX XXXX must produce " hard copy '' proof that the items purchased from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX were sent to my home. Each time XXXX XXXX denies my claim and says that I owe the {$610.00}, they do not have this proof. All XXXX XXXX has is that the vendor told them the items were shipped to my home. The vendor can not be contacted, and they have not gotten the information from the post office or from USPS to show the items were actually shipped to me. My attorney and I agree, until they can give me " hard copy '' proof, it is my word ( a valued customer ) versus a vendor that can not be contacted that the items were not shipped to me. This has been going back-and-forth between XXXX XXXX and me since XX/XX/XXXX. Each time I speak with Synchrony, nothing has been done. Yet they continue to ask for this payment from me. I am tired of the harassment and the time invested to clear my good name. I have excellent credit, and have always paid my bills. I even went to my local police department and filed an identity theft claim. Now, would an honest person do this? Please help me.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage, held with XXXX XXXX Mortgage, was transferred to LoanCare, a mortgage service company, a few months ago. When transferred I was assured that nothing would change, and my payments would remain the same, unless of course, there was an increase in other areas such as property taxes or escrow. 

There was never a fee charged by XXXX XXXX unless there was a late payment, after the 15th of the month, which would be considered late, and which I understood. I had been making my payments on time, via bank transfer, to XXXX XXXX and similarly each month to LoanCare, on or before the 16 of the month. This payment timing was good for me because, as a senior citizen, receiving my social security ( SS ), my deposits are deposited the second XXXX of each month, which always falls before the XXXX. Please see my bank statement attached. 

I made my set payments on time each month to LoanCare. Nothing was changed with my payment to LoanCare until this month when, to my surprise, I noticed an additional payment of {$10.00}, labeled as a one-time payment fee, a fee that was never charged before, not even by XXXX XXXX. I was not informed of this fee until I logged on today, XXXX XXXX, to make my monthly payment, after my SS was deposited, and I have never been late. I believe that my payment falls on or before the due date and I should not be charged a fee. Here is their draft fee schedule, which surely appears to be a late-fee schedule disguised as a draft-fee schedule : " One-Time Draft Fee Schedule On or before due date-No Fee 1-4 days after due date-No Fee 5-9 days after due date- {$5.00} 10-15 days after due date- {$10.00} 16 days or more after due date- {$10.00} '' I have since sent a request to have this fee removed from my mortgage payment. I have no control over when my SS is deposited and this is the only money I use to pay my mortgage. A bank draft is also the only way I have paid my mortgage, and given the time of my SS deposit, this would be the only method I use to pay it, so tacking on a draft fee is unfair. 

As a senior citizen, I think this service is taking away from my earnings and I think it unfair to me, since I was never asked to pay a draft fee before, nor had been informed of one being added. {$120.00} a year for future monthly draft fees was nothing I had agreed to when the mortgage service was transferred. 

As a senior citizen I do hope that CFPB will assist me in having this monthly fee removed, and I can continue to pay my mortgage using the method and time I have been accustomed to. 

Thank you for your assistance.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
equifax confirmed that my social security number was subject to their most recent data breach. I registered with their website several days ago and have not received the emailed response as promised. I called their support line and was disconnected when told I would be transferred and then placed on hold several times for a total of 20 minutes and advised that I needed to give them more time to send me an email. It has been 72 hours since they asked me to register in their website and this is unacceptable.

Company: Premia Mortgage, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, I made an offer on a home and contacted Premia Relocation Mortgage, a lender participating in my company 's relocation program, to lock in a rate and begin the loan processing. The broker began to contact me with requests for documents and I provided tax returns, IRS transcripts, proof of all income and other documents. Premia ran my three credit reports two different times - once to provide the prequalification in XXXX then again during the loan process in XXXX. Premia began to dissect my tax returns and asking for explanations of deductions and notifying they me they decided to reduce my income based on deductions in my tax returns. Then, Premia asked me about prior addresses and wanted explanations of why I did n't live there anymore. 
From credit reporting, I had an account in dispute - the creditor placed a note for credit bureaus explaining a late payment made by the accountant at a firm who handles some of my business in an effort to offset any penalty for consumer behavior. Premia wanted this removed from my reports so that my credit score would drop. Premia then ran another credit report ( 3 total within a 30 day period ). Finally, this week Premia sent me a new disclosure agreement electronically. The new disclosure established a higher interest rate and new terms. We previously had a rate lock in place and a disclosure along with all financial statements, records, reports, etc. Premia removed all records of the prior contract from the shared library of a website used to exchange documents.
I have purchased and sold numerous properties ( 6 ) and currently have two active mortgages from a rental property I own and my prior home that I am selling, I am not unfamiliar with the loan process. However, I am appalled by this behavior. I am a single professional woman, my children are adults and I was recently promoted to an XXXX XXXX for which I relocated.
In summary, Premia is in breach of a contract both implied and stated regarding a rate lock, performed an unauthorized background check, manipulated the credit reporting bureaus in an effort to alter scoring and dissuade my pursuit of other lenders, and dismissed documentation ( XXXX, pay stubs ) then requested credit card statements. The most recent request was for me to insist that two of my banks change the monthly statements. This type of behavior is beyond unprofessional and skirts legality. It 's certainly not within the guidelines of the fair credit reporting or other policies.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Chase bank decided to close my accounts in lieu of fixing any of the several problems i 've brought to their attention. I am given to understand there is also an issue with me not having enough money to have business with Chase, but I do n't have any documents to support that. 

The beginning of this issue was when I discovered my paycheck had not been deposited into my account, even though my payroll system showed the electronic check had been sent. 
The next issue was that Chase refused to allow payment withdrawal of my credit card payment with a separate company, which caused an issue of potential account closure there. 

In the latest part of this saga, Chase advised me that no deposits or withdrawals would be allowed, but that was clearly a lie as they did later allow my paycheck to be deposited into the account, but they have refused to allow me access to those funds. I have asked them many times to please advise when and how they plan to return my stolen funds, but they have refused to discuss this matter with me at all.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
In the summer of XXXX, hackers accessed Equifax 's system and compromised the personal credit information of over 100 million users. Equifax, failed to provide adequate cyber security throughout their computer system despite knowing the inherent value of the consumer information they possess. As demonstrated by the severity of this security breach, Equifax was absurdly negligent in properly securing the personal information of millions of consumers, and can no longer be trusted to act in the best interest of the American public. 

I am one of the victims of this breach. Equifax 's offer of one year of credit monitoring is a mere token of whats necessary to protect myslef. Equifaxs data breach is not something I can fix with a new password. For the rest of my life, I will need to watch my credit activity closely. I am XXXX, and I have family members currently in their XXXX. That means I will need to monitor my credit activity for the next 40 to 50 YEARS! 

Ironically, Equifax is happy to charge me for additional protective services, something I would not require if they had done their job adequately in the beginning. 

I demand that Equifax is stripped of their ability to provide credit reports in the future. Their negligence in this matter proves that they are simply unable to protect consumer data. Based on this breach, I do not believe any bank, other financial institution or business can safely rely on the reports that Equifax might produce in the future. Simply, Equifax can no longer be trusted. 

I further demand that Equifax provide a lifetime of credit monitoring for me and any other consumer who is likewise affected by the negligence of Equifax. Life-long credit monitoring - in reality - is the LEAST that Equifax should offer affected consumers. They were negligent, and they do n't appear to care the slightest about the people whose lives ' they have disrupted. They simply care about their financial stability, and how they can minimize the effect this breach will have on their profits.
