Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have been a victim of identity theft since XX/XX/XXXX. I have supplied Experian with multiple FTC reports, three different state police reports and have failed to blocked the fraudulent information from my report per FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) subsection a. I have continuously received emails stating they have opened a dispute which is NOT what I requested all the calls and emails with uploaded documents supports that I requested a BLOCK not a dispute process to be initiated. In addition to the emails they are sending me it's stating that haven't received documents that on the call on XX/XX/XXXX the agent in the fraud department by the name of XXXX confirmed that they in fact had received. XXXX Police department stated that an incident report is the same as a police report in their jurisdiction which I uploaded multiple times and mailed certified along with the FTC report. Experian is violating my rights that are clearly stated in the FCRA. Them opening a dispute that allows them 30 days even though I've supplied ALL documents according to FCRA state are grounds for blocking the effects of identity theft and continuously requested for it to blocked that gives them 4 business days have been ignored and they are NOT being held liable for their contribution of the mental, emotional, and financial abuse this is causing me for the past 11 years.

Company: Homeward, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Homeward Mortgage is a company that offers to buy houses for you with their cash then turn around and sell it right back to you at a 1.9 % fee. 

We entered into a signed contract with them in XXXX XXXX  to buy a house and a vacant lot adjacent to the house in XXXX. All throughout all of our negotiations and asking for documents there was always a vacant lot attached to this house. The day before we were set to close on the deal ( after lying to us about getting a appraisal done ) I was told they could not finance the house because of the adjacent vacant lot. The documents we signed had both addresses on them for the contract. 

This caused the sellers to back out of deal ( they knocked XXXX off because we were willing to buy both properties ) and we lost our earnest money plus inspection fees and all sorts of other expenses. 

I asked Homeward to refund our earnest money paid to the seller, since they backed out and they refused. So not only did we loose the sale of the house and property but we are out over {$2500.00}

Complaint narrative:
Both of my checking accounts at Banner Bank located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, OR XXXX were overdrawn from having too low of funds available that was in fact due to my account information being stolen. Causing a snow ball effect. I absolutely did not authorize Banner bank to allow for any transaction going through any of my accounts to be paid with a over draft fee. I was never allowed to opt in to the over draft fee service. As a matter of fact I asked to opt out several times but was denied. Under the Obama era bank reform laws in 2010 and REG 1005.17 I am officially filing a complaint against my bank. The manager has zero clue as to the current Bank Regulations regarding this issue. She was very rude to me and refused to refund any of my money either. I went into the bank on two separate occasions this week on XX/XX/XXXX and today XX/XX/XXXX. Again I have explicitly requested for the bank to refuse all incoming charges that the funds are not available. The manager told me that even if it is presented and not paid that I was still be charged a {$30.00} transaction fee per occurrence. I do know this is illegal based on the fact that I used to be a successful person banker, mortgage loan officer and now am a Oregon XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Due to Covid both my small businesses have been affected negatively. Also XXXX charged me for items that were supposed to be paid for with my rewards available on my XXXX Credit Card. XXXX also charged me for items to my bank that I did not receive. XXXX then charged me, refunded me, recharged me 3 separate but concurrent times as well. I tried to resolve it online but was unable to based on I never bought those items at all and the 3 items I did receive were supposed to be paid by my available rewards on their XXXX credit card!!

Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: CMRE Financial Services, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I had XXXX  and incurred medical expense along with some other health issues that also incurred out of pocket expense. Started paying multiple medical bills with the amount that i could monthly afford for all of them. CMRE has been accepting my money and applying it towards my balance. The monthly payment amount wasnt what they preferred me to pay and said it was not enough. They reported to the bureaus that XXXX, XXXX and XXXX that it was a collection, as if i had not been making payments. How is it legal to report that someone isnt paying when they have been? And have it impact a persons credit so negatively? I have receipts of payments i will include. But i will also say the other medical bills i have are happily and understandingly accepting the monthly payment amount that i can afford to pay them. During a pandemic and people struggling to pay bills, it is really horrible how this collection agency is conducting business. They are getting paid and will continue to be paid until the balance is paid off. But its very disturbing how they have no compassion for people who are trying to pay their bills but may not can afford to pay what cmre requires of them.
