Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I recently viewed a copy of a credit report, and I notice there are unauthorized credit inquiries made by the companies listed below..

To my knowledge, I have not signed any documents authorizing the companies in question to view my credit report. The listed Inquiries were without authorization, and for no legitimate business purposes. As such, it is a very serious error in reporting. I never authorized such action, and this constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Report Act 604 as well as a violation of my rights to privacy.

Product: Mortgage — Other type of mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — Changes in loan terms during the application process
Company: FIRST CITIZENS BANCSHARES, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Between XXXX and XXXX, we failed to provide proof of flood insurance for 9 properties included in 1 commercial bank loan with First Citizens Bank. As a result the bank imposed forced-place insurance totaling {$280000.00} which was bundled in a recent refinanced mortgage at 6.85 % interest. 

The bank provided a copy of XXXX 's forced-place insurance policy which totaled {$21000.00} ( XXXX x {$2400.00} ) at $ XXXX coverage per property. 3 years, at this approximate premium, should be roughly $ XXXX, not $ XXXX. Also, although this is a commercial loan, the properties are considered " residential '' by the National Flood Insurance Program ( NFIP ). NFIP allows a maximum of $ XXXX coverage not $ XXXX per policy. Accordingly, we estimate that the premium should be roughly ( XXXX x {$1200.00} ) or {$10000.00} per year or {$32000.00} for 3 years which is roughly half of $ XXXX. 

Based on the evidence we're providing and our estimated calculations, we feel the bank has over charged us approximately $ XXXX. We requested that they explain the charges on XX/XX/XXXX and have not received a response since then. This email request to them is also attached. 

Finally, we have already made the first 2 mortgage payments that include this money owed at 6.58 % interest. We have not paid anything else towards this specific " debt ''.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I am.the mortgagee of a mortgage loan with Rocket Mortgage. 

Loan No. XXXX. The original loan was refinanced twice and the last refinance occurred in XXXX. 

A title search was performed to execute the sale of my home XX/XX/XXXX. It was discovered that the Settlement/Title company that completed both refinance closings on Rocket Mortgage 's behalf ( XXXX XXXX ) failed to record both of the refinance mortgages. 

The mobile notary used by XXXX XXXX altered documents that caused XXXX XXXX MN to reject the recording if those mortgages. My mortgage was never recorded. 

To proceed with the sale of my home, this will now require {$10000.00} of proceeds to be held in escrow to pay attorney fees and court costs to address the Notary alteration, and conplete sale of my home. The recording issue and alteration was fully the responsibility of XXXX. XXXX offered {$1000.00} in compensation and this was rejected. 

Complaint filed with Rocket Mortgage who has deferred this as an issue for XXXX to address. 

This complaint is being filed to ensure this is remedied.

Complaint narrative:
Received egift card from work for {$300.00}. Could not spend any of it at any store or online, nor put it on my apple wallet. Have tried contacting the company after waiting for a half an hour they said I need to keep trying. I have tried at XXXX, XXXX, XXXX online, and even in person stores and every time it is canceled. I don't have time to continue trying and failing. Company offered no help and now I can not get anyone on the line. American Express is very disappointing. I think they might be trying to get people to give up and hoping that they forget about their balances on gift cards. I don't want to do business with them anymore, nor would I consider ever getting their credit cards when there are better options.
