Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
In the attached response from TRANSUNION they indicate my credit file is currently inaccessible to any company or myself attempting to view my file. They go on to request verification documentation so they protect the confidentiality of my information .They ask for my social security number and proof of current mailing address in addition to other documents. I sent a copy of my social security card, Drivers License and all other requested documents via certified email on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a response from TRANSUNION indicating that my address information was updated and they acknowledge my account with XXXX XXXX XXXX .However advised me that my account was suppressed. Why is it that the documents they requested and I submitted was sufficient to provide me with limited Information and make updates to my account based on what I provided. However not adequate enough to answer my questions as to what my account being suppressed means and why is it suppressed and make my report accessible to other companies and myself. Why establish criterias for consumers that will not be honored when they satisfy them. 
This action seems inconsistent with at minimum the mission statement of CFPB. I am not sure if this duplication of efforts is negligence or harassment on the part of TRANSUNION. 
During the period I filed these complaints I was a student ( junior year ) and worked and was unable to respond or communicate with anyone during normal business hours. During this international Health crisis I am working the majority of time and completing my education on line and am unavailable when your staff or you would be accessible. Therefore I request that you either communicate via e mail ( this address ) or contact my custodial father XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). 
I would like to have these matter corrected before I enter my senior year ( XX/XX/XXXX ) so I can apply for financial aid.

Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I noticed looking online at my Home Equity Loan payment history and payment breakdown, that many of my payments, sometimes for months in a row, were entirely applied to interest and nothing was applied to principal. I contacted the XXXX number for my bank maybe a year and a half ago (? ) and the representative told me it appeared as though there was an error in how my payment was applied because I used the online money transfer option to make the payment online instead of mailing in my payment with a payment coupon. It was a system error she said. She said she would fix it and when I later logged in the payments were applied in a way that I would expect : e.g. most of the payment to interest given the age of the loan but a notable portion to principal, and an adjusted remaining loan balance. The same thing happened a few more times since then, including several months in a row at the end of XXXX and into XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX I called a loan officer from my branch to have the error corrected again and ask how I could avoid this problem in the future with online transfer payments. She did some research and got back to me saying that my payments were correctly applied according to bank policy for payments made after the due date. She said that because the payment was after the due date it was applied to the interest of the payment past due as well as the upcoming payment before it could be applied to the principal. She also told me that I had no grace period on this loan but accepted correction when I stated that my payment coupons show a due date of the XXXX of the month with a late fee incurred on the XXXX of the following month, indicating a 15 day grace period. None of my payments on this loan were ever over 30 days late. I am a XXXX  XXXX XXXX  I've had other HEL 's and HELOC 's as well as many mortgages. I've never heard of this policy or had this experience at another institution. This policy resulted in many of my payments having nothing at all applied to my principal and I believe resulted in a higher remaining balance than if payments had been applied according to the amortization rate that I see with my other real estate secured loans. Indeed, when I ran my loan specifics through an online amortization calculator it produced a remaining balance almost {$2000.00} lower than what my bank claims. Can you tell me if this is a legitimate industry practice in the application of Home Equity Loan payments?

Ive been an American Express Bluebird member for a few years now and never had a problem until now. On XX/XX/2020 bluebird wrongfully suspended my account, my account is associated with my job so I get direct deposit and I also still have money on that card. On the same day of XX/XX/2020 bluebird locked my account due to me putting my password in wrong to many times on the mobile app because my phone screen is cracked. I then called bluebird customer service at 2 separate times and had to wait a total of 4 hours ... when I finally spoke to an agent I gave her all the info to unlock my account which included : my name, email associated with the account, my social security number, my date of birth, my card number, my answer to the security question needed to access online banking, and also the cash app card number linked to my account. After I gave her all my information she put me on hold and after 6 minutes she hung up on me. I called back and waited another 2 hours and got no answer, I then received an email stating that my account has been suspended. At the time of this suspension I was trying to buy my kids a box of diapers and something to eat, I had enough money on my card to make this transaction and I still have money on that card that I can not get access to. I really need help because every time I call the automated system says your account has been suspended goodbye and they hang up, Im a single father and I dont know what to do at this point.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Dovenmuehle Mortgage, Inc.
State: ID

Complaint narrative:
We submitted a check with a mortgage statement at our branch for our XXXX payment on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, it was not considered late until the XXXX. Unknown to us, the branch employee misapplied the payment to the wrong account. About a week later we received a default letter for not making any payment on our mortgage. We called the mortgage servicer and they said they would " as a courtesy '' write off the late fee. We spoke to the bank branch manager and she apologized and promised they would back date the payment to the XXXX as it should have been. We received a statement today that shows they still count us as having a late payment. We can not seem to get them to date the payment to the day we made it. We do not want this on our credit as a late payment and we are currently in the process of refinancing so this could really hurt us. Thank you for your help.
