Complaint narrative:
My wife and I had a mortgage with Citadel servicing of which I was in an approved forbearance program due to COVID and my complete loss of income. My accounts all shut down on XX/XX/XXXX and I had been in contact with Citadel immediately about my loss of income and signed into their deferment program of which it took several months to receive the paperwork from them. They informed me under the current law I was abIe to defer monthly, which i did from the the first month covid hit me. I was told to wait for their paperwork to fill out but needed to put in an application with them. I did so and was approved for forbearance with a first payment due on XXXX XXXX 2020. I ended up selling my house and sold it XXXX under appraised value to move on from this nightmare and get them paid and save my credit. I satisfied them 100 % on XXXX XXXX 2020. Ist payment of the new forbearance wasXX/XX/XXXX. 
Today, XX/XX/XXXX, not on my credit but on my wife 's credit report it shows a 120 day delinquency from Citadel Servicing, posted on XX/XX/XXXX, which will now affect us on our current mortgage application and I will not be able to get the interest rates we deserve and worked so hard to retain. We went from a 6600 sq ft house to a 12x10 room to save our credit and now we have this to deal with at almost XXXX, and not due to my own fault.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I took a cash advance on Discover in XXXX. I paid an upfront 3 % for this 0 % offer. I kept using the card and paid for the purchases. I was getting charged {$80.00} in interest for a 0 % amount. If I paid the card off for the purchases and the amount left is 0 % why would I get charged interest. I had two customer service people tell me that I had to make a minimum payment on the amount in order to avoid interest. I tried that, still got charged interest. I am getting charged interest on an advertised 0 % amount. If I pay off the purchase amount and the only thing left is the 0 % amount I should not get charged interest. I talked with a supervisor today who gave me a fax number and told me it was a phone number to call. I have been lied to by the representatives. This is very misleading. I should not be charged interest if I pay off the purchases and there is 0 % amount left on the card period. Please see my statement for proof. I took out {$2400.00} plus 3 % so as you can see on the statement. I made {$2900.00} in purchases and paid {$4900.00} on the bill leaving {$2500.00} that was supposed to be interest fee. As you can see I got charged {$81.00} in interest on a supposedly interest free account. I was told I had to pay off the entire amount not be charged interest. If that is true then it is not interest fee as advertised.

Upon contacting Bank of America they we were told there was no claim on file and they did not receive the reversal of funds from the companies. We them proceeded to open a claim to have the situation investigated. We faxed over to them all the reversal notices we received and Bank of America applied a credit. A few months later the funds were taken from my husbands account again and we are again going in circles trying to resolve the issue.

Previously held a secured card lost wallet and card account enrolled in auto pay unable to stop payments as they restricted online access and prevented me from correcting this resulted in returned payment and they closed my account and whats worse is they blacklisted me for life it appears I have spoken with multiple reps and supervisors that stated I was blacklisted and would likely never be eligible for a discover card in my life which was crazy because they have seen things people did intentionally or people not pay at all and not even have this happen. 

I was advised they submitted a request to reopen the account immediately and remove any such hold on my account as it should not be present neither happened and they blacklisted me for something that had nothing to do with me
