Complaint narrative:

The original account number is XXXX. They have verified on the phone that i was indeed enrolled with the promotion. With this the promotion might have fallen off on my card. 

I started following up on it on XXXX XXXX, and has voiced my concern about it. they said i should call back and wait for another month for XXXX XXXX billing and it should reflect it. XXXX XXXX came the tell me now to wait on XXXX XXXX billing and it will surely reflect on my double cashback for the year.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: LD Holdings Group, LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My loan servicing was sold to Loan Depot. I have an impound account for my taxes and insurance. There is a balance in that account of {$4300.00}. I received a supplemental tax bill and followed the instructions on the back of my mortgage statement from Loan Depot and faxed it to the Tax Bill fax number. They did not pay the bill. I received a late notice and faxed the bill a XXXX time. They still did n't pay it. I called today and was told they do n't pay supplemental tax bills and that I would need to fax the bill to yet another person and that they would mail me the money so I can pay the bill. This is costing me {$46.00} in late fees when this servicer is holding onto over {$4300.00} of MY MONEY that is set aside to pay tax and insurance bills. When I asked the phone rep what happened to the bills that I faxed in, I was told that they shred them. This is a complete rip off to the consumer and had I been notified of this policy when I faxed the bill. I could have received the funds and paid the bill on time. This should be illegal to rip off a consumer in this manner.

Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Good Afternoon, I sent Discover Student Loans a message inquiring about how much interest I was being charged per month. I explained to them, I did the daily simple interest method. For my loans, right now using that method, I 'm being charged around {$1.00} per day which is fine and that amounts to around {$35.00} per month in interest. 

I do n't understand how I was charged {$70.00} in interest for XX/XX/XXXX. I made two payments, one on XXXX/XXXX/2016 for {$640.00} and another on XXXX/XXXX/2016 for {$540.00}. The amount of interest that would have accrued between those dates would have been around {$24.00}, not {$70.00}. For the months prior to that, I 've averaged around {$35.00} per month. 

The second issue, I pay interest monthly through my statement, and thats the {$35.00} or {$70.00} as seen above, now my overall balance is also increasing daily by around $ XXXX- {$2.00}. So not only am I paying interest monthly on my statements, but I 'm also paying interest through having my balance grow. It seems to me, I 'm being double dinged on interest. 

Can you please research this or look into this for me? If interest was incorrectly calculated, can they apply that to my principal balance. For this loan, I originally took out {$26000.00} and my balance today is {$14000.00}. So far, I 've paid a total of {$21000.00} on this loan. ( {$15000.00} has gone towards principal and {$6600.00} has gone towards interest. ) So, if we were to minus the XXXX ( that has gone to principal ) out of the original balance not including interest, my balance today would be {$11000.00}. And that does n't include the {$6600.00} that was already paid to interest. 

Can CFPB or Discover please help? 

Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, The reason why im asking for your help is due to our harsdhip that lasted over 12 months, as of last year my husband was in the hospital for over 12 months due to a XXXX. Within that time i was making our mortgage payments even though my husband was not working. 

I called my mortgage company seeking help since i knew our situation will get worst, my mortgage company told me that they will not help me because i was current with the mortgage payments. 

So i tried numerous times trying to get a manager since every single person that i spoke to from the mortgage company will refuse to transfer my call to manager, i had no help from them at all. 

After a few months my situation got worst, my husband was still at the hospital, i ran out of money to keep up with the mortgage payment and my mortgage company never answer my request for help to modify my loan. 

Now as of this year that finally my husband is out of the hospital and back to work, i re submitted my loan modification application again. I was assigned a person by the name of XXXX XXXX p. XXXX ext XXXX who has been working with me sincec XXXX of this year. 

It is now 4 months going back and forth with XXXX asking for the same documents over and over again. Now i just found out that even though i been under review for a loan modification they filed a Notice of Trustee Sale for XXXX/XXXX/2016. i requested for her manager and she told me that the manager was out of the office on vacation and will not be back until XXXX. 

It seems like my mortgage company all they are trying to do is delay my application to take away my home, they lie about the status of my loan modification and now they refuse to help me with the loan modification review.

Issue: Disclosure verification of debt — Not disclosed as an attempt to collect
Company: Valley Credit Service, Inc. (OR)
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Valley Credit services, has reported, on my XXXX credit report, a collection account for an alleged debt. I contacted the agency today at XXXX, I spoke with XXXX , whom failed to disclose communication was attempt to collect a debt ever during the phone call. I obtained a recording of the call as proof of the violation to my consumer rights. The agent also informed me the account has been sold to another collection agency, since I live in that state of Texas. Under Section 392.101 of the Texas Finance Code laws a third-party debt collector or credit bureau is prohibited from engaging in debt collection in Texas unless the third-party debt collector or credit bureau has obtained a surety bond and filed a copy of the bond with the Office of the Secretary of State. According to the Texas Secretary of State, Valley Credit Service does not have a bond filed in the state of Texas therefore are not bonded to collect in the state of Texas. The account is reporting as open on my credit file, as well as showing an updated date for the balance they are currently trying to collect on. So this account is now being collected by XXXX separate collection agencies, and XXXX showing as open, and current on my credit report, which again is a violation to my consumer rights. I sent Valley Credit a certified letter with a tracking number, requesting validation of the alleged debt, which they received XX/XX/XXXX. I never received validation, or a response of any kind from the agency. I then disputed the account with the XXXX Credit bureau, on XX/XX/XXXX, the account came back as verified and accurate, on XX/XX/XXXX. Again, Verifying not only false information to my credit file but the account in general, with the Credit bureau, before sending me, the consumer validation of the account is violating my rights. Valley Credit not only failed to conduct a reasonable investigation, but clearly has a blatant disregard for my legal rights.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/2015 I spoke with equifax customer service about having more than XXXX credit report. Equifax verified that I have XXXX credit reports ( Confimation # XXXX ). I was informed that equifax would merge the reports, but I had to fax a copy of my social security card and proof of address. A copy of my social security card and drivers license was faxed to equifax. Rep explained that it could take up to 90 days to complete the merge. 
On XXXX/XXXX/2015 I received an email from equifax stating that they could not merge the reports. The same day I filed a complaint with the CFPB ( XXXX ). Equifax responded and stated that they will merge the reports and that it could take up to 90 days. 
XXXX/XXXX/2015 called equifax to get a status of the merge. I was told that I need to fax a copy of my social security card and drivers license. This information has already been provided and verified. After verifying this information and informing me that the reports would be merged, it appears that nothing has been done. 
When I pull my report I get the same report each time, and ca n't see the contents of the XXXX report. I have no idea what information is being reported on the second report. As a consumer I should have access to any/all information being reported on these reports. 
I have been denied credit based on information obtained from equifax. Creditors base their decisions based on negative information that I ca n't see, and have no idea if it is valid or not. I have also asked that equifax mail me copies of both reports. They stated that they would mail the reports, and I have never received them. As a consumer I have the right to know what is on these reports, and the ability to dispute what may not be valid. I should be able to make a credit decision based on what my reports contain, and not what a creditor can see and I ca n't.
