Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
I had a credit freeze on my file and needed to thaw the report to refinance a PLUS loan. While the thaw worked refreezing my report has been an absolute nightmare. 

What could once be done in an online form in 5 minutes took an hour long phone call. I got routed to a call center in XXXX, stuck on the phone for nearly an hour, only to find out that they couldn't freeze the report because they " were working to give me the best possible experience. '' I was directed to download their app for my smartphone, which I've done. 

Here I am, over a month later, and I'm still not able to refreeze my report using their XXXX app, their web site, or calling them. If this is how these clowns are allowed to run something as important as credit reporting no wonder this happens so often. Considering how important credit is to Americans, this is unacceptable!

Product: Debt collection — Mortgage debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have a mortgage with Mr. Cooper, acct. # XXXX. I had auto payments set up through XXXX XXXX for $ XXXX/mo. I received a statement last month showing that I was short {$240.00} with no explanation and my {$3500.00} was unapplied. I called a few days ago to inquire why the monthly payment was increased and was told that the loan had just adjusted to 5.25 %. I had never received notice of the increase and the person I talked to said it was sent to an address I had not used for 4 years although I have been getting monthly statements to my current address for almost a year. She emailed the rate/payment change notice and I have paid the new payment for XXXX as well as the XXXX shortfall. I found out during a loan application that Mr. Cooper had already reported a delinquency to the credit bureaus several weeks ago which caused me to get turned down by a lender who had approved a loan 1 % lower prior to this report and I wound up having to go with another lender at a higher rate. 
My complaint is that I had no knowledge of the rate increase since notice was mailed only to an old address ( presumably returned to the sender ). I did not receive any notification by phone or mail but instead reported to the credit bureau which has cost me about {$7000.00} a year on the new loan. 
Thanks.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2018 I called my Bank CHASE to ask regarding the impact my pending transactions would have on my available balance displayed on the Bank App. I was told my pending transactions were already deducted from my account and even though the transactions show as pending they had already been debited from my balance. On XX/XX/2018 I checked my account balance on the App, to which my surprise was overdrawn. I proceeded to call the bank as I spoke to 2 different representatives and one supervisor I was given a different answer regarding pending transactions. Once you pay for services the bank takes the money out for the merchant to charge and even though the transactions show as pending If the merchant does not take the money out within 3 days the bank will put the money back into the account and the merchant is free to charge any time is convenient to them. Every time I have called including today XX/XX/2018, I have been giving different information and I was that even when is not technically my fault the bank will still charge a total of {$35.00} per transaction and the bank has only accepted to reverse one fee and will not reverse 2 more fees of {$35.00} each. The bank has charged multiple times for transactions that were charged by the merchants on the same dates XX/XX/2018. The bank representatives and supervisors I have spoken todo accept I am not at fault for these misinformation that has caused my account to be overdrawn but as I was told by the last supervisor " She couldn't do anything for me, that I should manually calculate my transaction. And that she was limited to do find a solution for this issue ''. The last supervisor I spoke to sent an email and my phone number to the previous supervisor I spoke to but she did not receive a response. I have been a customer of the bank for years and this has become a recent issue with my account which I have always kept with a good standing balance, not long ago I was also an employee at this financial institution and several customers would visit the branch to complaint about this very same situation. A lot of information is not being disclosed to the customers and money is being taken from accounts without previous warnings. 
I have also experienced not receiving cellphone alerts, delayed or no alerts whatsoever even though I have signed up for those alerts. Please help me resolve this situation. 
Best Regards, XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Citibank has referred my credit card account to their Fraud Early Warning department. I have called their number ( which is handled by agents out of the country ) and have provided private information such as my entire bank account number, other credit card number in its entirety, entire social security number and date of birth. After providing this highly private information to the agents, they continue to tell me that my information is unverifiable. This practice is unfair and not to mention, unsafe to ask customers to provide private information that still allows accounts to be unverified. I am unable to bypass this department. With i call any Citibank phone number and entire my information, my account is routed to this department that is not located in the United States. I have read similar complaints to others by Citibank. I feel I am being unfairly targeted. I have made all payments on time. My credit card is locked and even after prividung sensitive information, I am basically being told by the unhelpful reps that there is nothing that can be done.
