Company: Seterus, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have a mortgage with Seterus inc. that has been modified about 5 years ago. 
Seterus inc. has worked with me when I needed the most and I truly appreciate it, but they had become my worst nightmare after they started making various mistakes in handling my mortgage correctly and effective. 
They first made a mistake in applying money to my escrow, they raised my payment saying I did n't have enough money in the escrow account to cover insurance and taxes. 
I found that odd, cause I new how much I had to pay a month to take care of that and they were charging me a lot of time and money. 
After months and many hours on the phone trying to get them to fix my escrow, they finally did it and I was able to get my payment to where it was supposed to be. 
After they fixed the escrow, they began telling me that my mortgage was late for a month and stated charging me a late fee every month. 
I have told them in dispute letters many times that I am not late on my payments and that I have all my receipts to prove it. 
They keep telling me that I am late since XXXX and I have not paid the XXXX installment. 
I have the confirmation number and the bank statement to prove that they have received the payment. 
Please help me fix this problem as I think they are doing this on purpose based on the fact that I have filled for bankruptcy right after the modification and have failed to reaffirm the loan by the due date and now I feel like a deer that is being held by the neck by a lion that is just waiting for my last breath. 
After all the mistakes and because the mortgage not being reported to my credit, I find myself " stuck '' with this bank. 
I looked into refinancing now that I am getting back on my feet, but I was told by one of the institutions to file this complaint and have this fixed before I could try to get refinanced and get rid of Seterus inc .

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.

Complaint narrative:
A rep from Ally Financial told me she was going to set me up for a two-month hardship ( to months of not making payments ) since I was out on leave from work due to XXXX. This was in XXXX of 2016. In XXXX, 2016, while applying for a mortgage, my loan officer informed me that I was two payments late for a total of 80 days delinquent on my car loan. 
I called Ally, and at first, they denied knowing any thing about a hardship agreement offered to me by their Rep. After arguing with Ally for 3 days it seemed, they finally admitted to having notes about our agreement for a hardship, but could not explain why I was not notified that It did not take effect. I have been charged {$860.00} in late fees since XXXX of 2016 and my XXXX statement says I still owe XXXX in past due late payments. Since XXXX, 2016, because of the mix-up, they have destroyed my credit, hitting me XXXX thirty day lates, and XXXX over sixty. Please help me ... they are out of control. There is another person on the internet who they did this exact same thing to. The attorneys answering the question on the blog all agreed that Ally is just workin people over for late fees. I paid my payment for this month. It was due the XXXX XXXX, but did not post till the XXXX. They already have me reported to the credit agencys. for a 30 day late???? I have the paper work to back all this up but cant send it all as attachments. Please email a physical address and I will be glad to sent all supporting data.

Complaint narrative:
Experian reports a balance owed and the account in open status for the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ending in XXXX. This XXXX line, was discharged per the foreclosure events which occurred in 2011. Oregon law as statutes in House Bills 3656 and 3004 are clear that where the XXXX and XXXX loans were issued at the same time and both are held by the same beneficiary ( the actual lender of money ) at the time that the XXXX loan is foreclosed on, the beneficiary can not seek a deficiency on either loan. Therefore, it is incorrectly reporting a balance due. Accordingly, XXXX were issued ( and are attached to this notice ). Finally, XXXX and XXXX report the balance correctly at {$0.00} -- and I 'm asking Experian to do the same.

Tradeline was disputed multiple times and each time came back as verified. Acct ... XXXX. I would like to know the name of the person Experian verified with each time, the dates, the address, and the phone number used. The number on the credit report is not even a working number. I have gone to the courthouse and this judgement is not a recorded judgement. The people at the courthouse have also informed me that they have never had a credit bureau call them and verify anything..on anyone. They also said that they do n't report to the bureaus so it 's not them reporting and verifying.

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
We opened a HELOC account at Citizens Bank in XXXX. At the time, we opened a checking account as well to avoid having fees on the HELOC account ( Citizens had a deal ). Our checking account had minimal money ( around {$1100.00} ) that we only used to pay the HELOC loan. In XXXX, we finished paying our loan and over time forgot about our checking account. Citizens bank began charging {$9.00} per month once we did not meet the XXXX transaction minimum in the account. We had originally signed up for paperless statements, but we were not told that we needed to also sign up for alerts to actually be told when the paperless statement was available. We have not used this account now for 26 months ( no atm withdrawals, no checks used or ordered, ... ) In that entire time, we have received no communication from Citizen 's Bank about our account ( since we did not have the Alerts feature turned on ). For 26 months, Citizens Bank has collected a {$9.00} fee for a total of {$260.00} of our {$1100.00} balance ( 23 % ). Again, they never marketed to us about the alerts, we never received any information about the account ( we had to know to go online and check ). We recently found this out as we were looking to possibly use our HELOC account again for a home project. When we called to see if our line was still active, we were also informed about our checking account. While I understand that these fees were disclosed when we first opened our account, the fact that we received no communication, were not told about alerts, and were basically ignored while our account continued to just be a source of funds for Citizens is appalling. We used no features of the account, Citizens was able to lend our money, and yet they charged us {$260.00} - if we finally had not called, they would have taken the entire balance over time. In my mind, these practices are unfair and deceptive. There is a full lack of responsibility to do what is right for the customer - ie marketing a different product that is more in line with the needs of the customer or viewing inactive accounts for possible communication or upgrade. I contacted Citizens after learning these facts and they agreed to waive {$40.00} ( XXXX late fees ). Again this is {$40.00} out of {$260.00} of fees on an inactive account. I would appreciate any assistance in reviewing their policies on inordinate fees, communication, and account review policies.

Complaint narrative:
I 've worked hard for decades to maintain an outstanding credit rating that 's ranged right around XXXX. I take my credit report extremely seriously and always consider the impact on my score when making decisions that may have an adverse impact to my credit score, and ultimately my financial well-being. 

In XXXX of 2015 I obtained new employment which involved selling my home and moving my family. This move incurred over $ XXXX in moving expenses, all of which were reimbursed by my new employer once we were able to provide receipts evidencing the expenses incurred. In other words, the funds for my travel and relocation expenses initially came out of my savings and then were reimbursed by my new employer after the move. 

Given the safety, security and support that XXXX XXXX offers, my wife and I used our XXXX card to fund the upfront travel and relocation costs. Unfortunately, we did not realize what a detrimental impact that doing so would have on my credit scores. My score which was XXXX immediately dropped to XXXX ( XXXX point drop and below the XXXX A-Rating threshold for obtaining the best mortgage rates ). The drastic drop, I 'm told, is due to the fact that XXXX does not report a credit limit but rather reports the lifetime max that has been borrowed as the limit. In this particular case, $ XXXX was my lifetime max and thus it appears I 've maxed out my card. For this reason, my credit score has plummeted and now effectively puts me in a position where I face paying XXXX of dollars more per year on a mortgage because I no longer qualify for the best mortgage rates.

I disputed a state tax lien from XXXX County Superior Court with identification number XXXX and I received notification from Experian that stated the account is reporting accurately. I disagree because the lien was vacated and according to information in my credit file it shows the lien has been paid and satisfied. I have tried to dispute this and keep receiving a message that says I am unable to dispute because it was previously updated from a dispute that I filed in 2012. There is no record of this lien on file with XXXX County Superior Court.

Complaint narrative:
I was not certain what category to choose, as the accounts on my credit are XXXX different ones. I have a late payments on my report that are unverified and the bureaus have not conducted a proper investigation. If they had, these late payments would have come off as I was never late on these accounts. I am not receiving proper correspondence from the bureaus and at no time have I received proof of late payments reporting on my credit file. My right to demand this is pursuant to section XXXX of the FCRA as well as XXXX where they must legally verify with proof of immediately remove. I continue to receive documentation stating that I must go straight to the creditor because this has been " verified '', when in fact, the bureaus have the responsibility of doing this and can not put the burden on me. See XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION. If I have to, I will sue them, but if they did their job, they would see that this is inaccurate and must be removed. According to Congress, the bureaus MUST verify that the information on my report is accurate, and must go beyond the original source of information once I notify them that this is inaccurate. They have not done so, and I can prove that I have notified them multiple times.

Complaint narrative:
I ended up filing some disputes because there was incorrect and incomplete information on my credit report. So I prepared a nice letter and sent it with a copy of my driver 's license, proof of my social security number and proof of my mailing address so that Experian would be able to verify my identity. 
It has been at least 2 months since I mailed my letter and I have n't heard back. When I try calling their XXXX number they want a report number before I speak with an agent and since I do n't have one I ca n't speak to anyone. 
I thought that the credit companies had to respond back to me within 30 days otherwise they are supposed to remove things from my credit report?! 
Well it 's been way more than 30 days and all of the stuff I disputed is still there. I know I can go online and buy a credit monitoring service and try to dispute things online but I thought that Experian is supposed to help me for free! 
I 'm at the point where I 'm done wasting time and need to get this fixed immediately.
