Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
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: IL

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I ordered a new XXXX XXXX XXXX on the manufacturer 's website on XX/XX/XXXX. I was presented with a {$60000.00} 2.49 % loan offer from XXXX XXXX Bank on the same day, but did not sign any loan documents. Vehicle delivery was scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I went to the XXXX dealership location ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, IL XXXX ) to pick up the car. Unfortunately the car was physically damaged and had several error notices showing up on the main screen. I spoke with a XXXX representative ( XXXX ) and he told me in his experience this was not normal. I told XXXX that I would reject delivery. XXXX told me that this would not be a problem and that XXXX would cancel the order, have a new car/VIN allocated for me to be delivered at a later time. 

XXXX does NOT allow future owners to inspect the interior of the car and/or the software/computer inside the car before signing the documentation, therefore I was forced to sign their paperwork prior to completing my inspection of the vehicle. I asked XXXX if this would be a problem after I rejected delivery, he said no. He promised me orally and subsequently via text that my deposit ( {$8700.00} ) would be refunded shortly, that the documents would be cancelled and that a new car will be ordered. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a notification from Experian that a new lien was added to my credit report. This was the XXXX XXXX Bank loan for {$60000.00} that I never accepted because I rejected delivery of the vehicle. I reached out to XXXX immediately and asked him why my credit report was showing this loan. He told me that XXXX 's systems showed the loan contract as voided, that he followed up with XXXX 's financing team to confirm and that my deposit would be refunded within 30 days. I never heard back from XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX a XXXX XXXX Bank employee reached out to me to let me know that that loan was showing as due in their systems and that I needed to start paying. I explained the situation to him and asked him to reach out to XXXX to confirm that the loan was voided/cancelled and that XXXX kept the car. I reached out to XXXX again and asked for some sort of resolution, but I never heard back from him. 

I filed a dispute with Experian and today the dispute was " resolved '', but the loan remains on my credit report. I have tried getting XXXX 's help on this matter multiple times, but time and again they refuse to do anything to solve this issue. 

I attach the communication I have had with XXXX for the past few months.

Complaint narrative:
This file is in review for loss mitigation with Movement Mortgage. We have not gotten any real update since XXXX. We request call backs and escalate for updates weekly with no response. The lender is delaying the file on purpose. The reps that answer the phone state that they do not have to ability to transfer the call to a supervisor. Their only solution is to escalate the file and request for an update and that is getting us nowhere.

Company: Tesla, Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX my wife and I applied for credit to purchase a vehicle from Tesla Motors through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Our loan application was approved. Unfortunately, more than 60 days transpired with Tesla Motors not having delivered the vehicle to us, so the loan approval expired. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, Tesla Motors submitted new loan applications, without my consent, to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I have contacted Tesla Motors numerous times seeking assistance since this has occurred, both by telephone and email, and have been informed by two associates that this is not standard practice ; however, Tesla Motors has been unwilling to acknowledge that the applications were submitted without my consent and has refused to assist in making sure that these unauthorized loan applications are retracted from my credit report.

The numerous loan applications, which were submitted without my consent, have caused damage to my credit report.

I am simply requesting that Tesla Motors either contact the banks they submitted the loan applications to on my behalf to retract the applications or acknowledge, in writing, that the applications were submitted without my consent so that I may present the necessary proof to the credit bureaus that the applications were unauthorized in order to secure the removal of the false information on my consumer credit report. 

Thank you.

Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
I opened an account with Huntington Bank on XXXX/XXXX/2021, using a link that advertised a {$150.00} bonus with new money deposits of {$1000.00} and having the account open for at least 90 days ( both requirements have been met, 90 days should have been reached on XX/XX/XXXX and I made a deposit of {$1000.00} on XXXX/XXXX/2021. The money has been in the account since ). 

I made very sure to click the link that is shown in the attachment indicating that it would apply the bonus code. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Huntington Bank twice through their online chat feature and once through a XXXX direct message and was told all three times that a promo was not attached, given the link I clicked and the description below the link I do not see how that could be the case beyond an issue with their system. I was eventually told by the representative I spoke to on XXXX that they would contact their promotion department and get back to me but that has not happened. 

In effect I feel like this was a bait and switch where I was advertised a bonus, gave them my money for 3 months under the assumption that bonus would be honored and then at the end was told there is no bonus with no solution offered.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
To Whom it may concern, I received an email from XXXX XXXX  stating that my credit score went down XXXX points because of a late payment to Loan Care LLC. I have never had a late payment on my credit. I called Loan Care and they told me that my last payment was XX/XX/XXXX of 2021. There was no payment for XXXX or XXXX. I pay this automatically through XXXX XXXX Bank. I have attached a document showing that the XXXX and XXXX payments were scheduled and were also showing in the history. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX  and they said someone would call me within 3 business days. They said that they saw that I had scheduled these payments automatically for the first of each month but that they did not send the checks. She did not know why and had to escalate this. I told her I wanted something from the bank stating that this was the fault of the bank. She said I would have to wait until someone e-mailed me about this within 3 days. 

I called Loan Care and I told the representative that I had not received any communication from Loan Care about this. She said that they called me but received no answer. I said why wouldnt they leave a message. I dont answer calls if I dont know the number. She said that they sent a letter in XXXX. I have not received that because I am at my other home in Georgia. 

The research done by XXXX XXXX it was found that the payment for XX/XX/XXXX was lost in the mail and the payment for XXXX was cashed on XX/XX/XXXX. I asked why the second payment was not cashed on the first because I schedule my payments to get to Loan Care by the first and I was told that was up to the merchant when they cash it. I was told by XXXX XXXX that the screenshots should be enough to resolve this. They do not send letters. I have attached the payment history along with the check numbers that were sent. I sent this info to Loan Care and they will not take off the derogatory mark from my credit because they said a check lost in the mail is not their fault. 

I am very upset about this and am asking for my credit score to be restored. I paid the two months right away after I found this out. 

Please let me know if you can resolve my credit issues. I have never had a late payment in my life and this has reduced my credit score by XXXX points by no fault of my own. Please advise. Thanks you very much! 

Sincerely XXXX XXXX

Company: Movement Mortgage LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The client is in review for loss mitigation. The client was approved for a forbearance in XXXX. A forbearance is meant to buy time and protect against foreclosure for those who can not pay their mortgage due to a temporary loss of income. This client has plenty of income to be reviewed for a permanent solution ; a loan modification. The client is able to resume making payments. There is no reason to throw a band-aid on this when the client meets the requirements for a permanent solution. Back in XXXX we explained all of this verbally and we resubmitted the file for review again in XXXX. We submitted a loan modification request along with a proposal. I am now told as of XXXX that the client was again approved for another forbearance. I was told that underwriting is asking for clarification on if the client wants the forbearance or not. Im concerned about why there is so much confusion when we have spelled every detail out for Movement. Even the first time we submitted the file for review on XXXX, that submission included a proposal and a request for a loan modification, so - exactly what the client was requesting- should have never been a question. I have requested call backs every single week and no one ever reaches out. The lender is ignoring the fact that we call them on a weekly basis and they are acting like they don't have all the information that they need. They are asking questions that are clearly spelled out in the modification packet. The lender needs to decision this file immediately and stop delaying.

Company: MIDFIRST BANK
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I reached out to Midland Mortgage in XXXX of XXXX after I was laid off from work XX/XX/XXXX. I was able to pay the modified payment of XXXX for XXXX but explained and asked if there was any assistance to help me. I was informed to submit an application, hardship documentation, and proof of income or lack thereof to verify my status. I began submitting information in XXXX and Midland Mortgage finally responded XX/XX/XXXX stating they need the hardship affidavit and proof of income. I submitted the information XX/XX/XXXX and received no further communication until today XX/XX/XXXX after receiving messages that I needed to contact them to avoid further collection activities. I spoke with XXXX agent XXXX, who proceeded to inform me that they had received my information but had closed my application. I asked why and she stated because they hadn't processed it and didn't know what I wanted done with it. I explained the situation and she said they could offer the Corona virus plan but that it would take my payment up to {$1500.00} based upon the interest rate. I asked what the current interest rate was, and she stated she didn't know and that I could XXXX it. She also stated that while they received my documentation I could either go the traditional route and qualify or take what she was offering and my payment would be {$1500.00} or higher, maybe lower but that if I took what she was offering, no further documents would be needed. They have had my information and knew I was struggling but wouldn't do anything with it. I thought the purpose behind a modification was to lower the payment so that people can keep their homes, not continuously raising the payment and even lowering the interest rate. How is it possible to lower my interest rate and my payment increase? This doesn't make sense.
