Consumer complaint: Roquemore and Roquemore has been contacting my family members and former in-laws regarding a debt that has been verified as fraudulent and removed from my credit report already. A number of years ago, a distant relative established an identity utilizing my middle and last names with alternative residence, identification, and social security information. He was then able to secure credit, a residence and even an on-going vehicle loan. I have worked diligently to have these items removed over the years. As often as I have been able to, I have contacted creditors to have statements and accounts forwarded to me for legal purposes and to contest debts. There is a fraud affidavit affixed to my credit report, as well as other protections to prevent new accounts from being established. Now Roquemore & Roquemore is calling threatening my family members and demanding that the location of a vehicle be disclosed. I reiterate that this is not my account, I do not possess this vehicle and we have no contact with the family member that committed the fraud. The fraudulent social security number ends in XXXX, which is NOT my social security number. When I attempted to call and explain this, the representative presumed that I was lying and became livid and started screaming. I asked that they provide me an address where I could submit proof of this being a case of fraud, yet she threatened that continued calls to my family, landlords, employers and the like would continue if I did not provide the vehicle. I have promptly called an attorney and had them to draft a cease and desist order. They ( Roquemore & Roquemore ) have made no efforts to validate this debt, or it would become blatantly obvious that they do not have my true social security number or name. The original creditor ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) employed the same tactic of skip-tracing and attempted to add my full name and social security number to the account, which warranted the item being removed XXXX by the credit bureaus.

Consumer complaint: I opened a XXXX checking account ( XXXX ) in XX/XX/XXXX. It was linked to a XXXX Savings account ( XXXX ), in order to avoid fees on these accounts. In order to avoid the fees I had to make a recurring transfer of {$25.00} from checking to savings. This recurring transfer went on for several years. Over that period of time, I was told by XXXX different tellers on XXXX separate visits that I did not have to continue the recurring transfer, that it only needed to be set up that way initially. They said I could just discontinue the transfer at any time and no fees would result. So I discontinued the recurring transfer in XX/XX/XXXX. Since that savings account usually does not have much money in it ( I do most of my banking at another institution ), I paid little attention to this account. The other day, when logged into the Wells Fargo iPhone app, I noticed a negative balance in this account. Looking further, I found that the account had been emptied by {$5.00} monthly service fees since XX/XX/XXXX. I was shocked and dismayed. I went to the bank at once and spoke with banker XXXX XXXX, who politely listened to my complaint. She called a customer service representative named XXXX ( who reluctantly told me his last name was XXXX ), whom I spoke to on XXXX XXXX 's desk phone. After hearing my story, XXXX XXXX told me that although the tellers had given me erroneous information, which he said could perhaps be classified as " bad behavior, '' it did n't meet the criteria of " bank error '' and therefore there was nothing that he could or would do. He " reassured '' me that it was a pleasure to speak to me, and thanks for doing business with Wells Fargo. He hoped I would have a nice day. XXXX XXXX informed me that to avoid further fees, I should transfer {$300.00} to that account to keep a minimum balance, and also to transfer an additional {$4.00} to cover the negative balance and an additional {$5.00} to cover this month 's impending service fee. 
I do n't know if the tellers had given me incorrect advice to discontinue the recurring transfer inadvertently, or if they did it specifically to generate fees. It does n't really matter at this point. The fees will total {$70.00}. 
Regardless, this is the sort of predatory activity that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was designed to combat. As a mere customer, there is little that I can say myself that Wells Fargo will listen to. I know their behavior is wrong, they know it, and now you know it. 
Please help make it right.

Consumer complaint: I have a home equity loan with a company in XXXX, XXXX, Loan Care, who is horrible. Dealing with them has been a nightmare in general. Reaching them on the phone is difficult at best. I can almost never get in touch with a human being ; their automated phone system has perfected the art (? ) of the runaround. Back in 2009, I was told that I was {$13000.00} in arrears ( no foreclosure proceedings had been instituted ). My husband sent them the {$13000.00} and it was not applied to the loan ; it was put " in suspense '', whatever that means. I STILL have no idea where it went. My husband requested a copy of the original loan and we were sent a copy of the loan for someone in XXXX. We had very expensive plumbing problems this last year and got a little behind, so of course they began foreclosure proceedings. Well, that has been " resolved ''. The latest trick is that we have tried no less than XXXX times to request a payoff amount so we can get rid of the headache that Loan Care is, but I have yet to have received it. And again, it seems to be impossible to speak to an actual human being. To add insult to injury, they are also impacting my credit report. My congressman 's office tells me you can help me. I hope so. Please let me know what you need from me. 
Thank you for your time.

Consumer complaint: XXXX partner and affiliate of XXXX XXXX sold a product with a false description. Theyhad claimed that their mining product " Hashlets '' they were selling were obsolete-proof, guaranteed to never break down and always remain profitable. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is preparing to shut down all operations and run off with customer 's money. I have attached the necessary documents in this file to support my claims against these charges. XXXX XXXX and XXXX has intentionally defrauded customers, lied to customers, and operated illegally. In addition they have also refused access to the products and services customers have purchased and halted operations completely. XXXX XXXX has also attempted to scrub the internet of all incriminating information regarding their fraudulent operations. Even their websites XXXX and XXXX no longer exists. 

Furthermore it is public knowledge that the XXXX Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX. In addition I have learned that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the XXXX Department of Justice are also involved. XXXX XXXX has allegedly fled to XXXX in an attempt to escape the XXXX Government and the charges he now faces. 

Over the course of the past 4 months I have attempted XXXX to dispute this transaction with USAA, XXXX times being declined because it was not submitted within their 60 days of the transaction date. I also bank with XXXX XXXX XXXX and they have the same 60 day policy however since the case was about fraud and the fact that the SEC was involved, they initiated the dispute and I was returned my {$26000.00}.

Consumer complaint: Transunion is continuing to show inaccurate payment status information for the mortgage account under the name XXXX. Though it has been provided with the facts, it has refused to apply them to this account. Instead, going to the offender and accepting the erroneous information that 's given to it as truth. The responsibility to make sure information is accurate is Transunion 's and it continues to fail at this responsibility. This could result in a judgment against it, in a court of law. And, the fact that XXXX may have continued to feed inaccurate information will not immune Transunion from neglecting the facts! Thus, I am disputing once again the erroneous " late payment '' information under the XXXX account, and am submitting additional proof that XXXX is deliberately providing false information to Transunion, so that it can take the appropriate action to correct these errors.

Consumer complaint: An unpaid due amount appeared on my statement ending XXXX XXXX. To me this is impossible since I do online banking and have authorized my bank to pay upon receipt of the e-bill. The credit card services section and bill pay/online banking are with the same major banking corporation. After several phone calls and going up the chain my dispute has not been solved. I had asked card services to remove the unpaid amount from the statement. They continually tell me that my XXXX payment has not been received and that they can not remove the amount. What I thought was a refund of the past due amount actually was treated as a cash advance. I have had XXXX managers in card services tell me that this was a banking error. According to card services the bill pay section made my payment early, XXXX XXXX, which happened to be the ending date of my statement. Therefore, it was credited to the previous month. I contacted bill pay/online banking and asked about when the e-bill was received and paid. According to bill pay the e-bill was created on XXXX XXXX, 2015, received by bill pay on XXXX XXXX, and paid on XXXX XXXX. 
Card services resolution is to reduce some of the interest charges, removal of late charge fees, and pay the overdue charge on a date in XXXX that I can not remember that was told to me. They also suggested that I pay the current minimum due and continue to carry the overdue amount. Neither of these solutions are acceptable to me especially the last XXXX. Carrying an overdue payment for months will ruin my credit rating which, in turn, I will have debt collectors. The bank that I deal with has received government bailout money and I consider my situation to be fraudulent also. Any help that you can give me would be greatly appreciated..

Consumer complaint: I submitted a dispute with Experian regarding information on my credit report that they were reporting that was very concerning to me on XXXX XXXX, 2015. Experian responded to my dispute stating that they believed they had received a suspicious request and would not be investigating the information I was disputing. I sent Experian another dispute on XXXX XXXX, 2015 via fax as I received their fax number from a representative over the phone and also sent them a copy of their response and all of the documents they needed to update my credit file. They have not responded and it has been over 45 days since my dispute was submitted to their company.

Consumer complaint: I 'm writing to complain about what I think are excessive Late Fee charges over time. After deferring payments on this private loan for the maximum time, a year, because I was n't earning enough income to make my payments, I had to start making payments. I was fortunate enough to get a XXXX job so I could do that but my payments were still often late over a period of XXXX years, so I was charged many late payment fees. Those fees have totaled over {$350.00} so far and I think those are QUITE UNFAIR AND EXCESSIVE, especially considering my interest rate on this private student loan is over 12 %. Congress needs to write laws regarding the maximum late fees allowed yearly on private student loans. Having these private loans has certainly discouraged me from getting more education, something that would certainly benefit me in the job market. So my question is, is that what excessive LATE FEES and ridiculously high student loan INTEREST RATES are supposed to do? Are they supposed to DISCOURAGE people from pursuing graduate degrees? Is that what Congress thinks will be BEST for the economy, or do n't they think in those terms?

Consumer complaint: I refinanced my mortgage with PenFed in XXXX 2014. They advertise their mortgage rate offer by saying " we pay virually all closing costs up to {$10000.00} ''. In my loan documents, it said that there is no pre-payment penalty. However, now that I am trying to refinance, they are telling me that I owe them {$1000.00} for the closing costs they paid. This is false advertising!! There is a pre-payment fees!! My new lender thinks this is wrong and suggested I file a complaint.

Consumer complaint: I contacted PennyMac mortgage for deed in lieu in XXXX of XXXX. My home in Alabama had been on the market since XXXX of XXXX ( now over 28 months ), I suffered job loss in XXXX of XXXX and moved to Texas for employment in XXXX of XXXX. The home is located in an economically depressed area and I have not been able to sell. 
Before I could be considered for deed in lieu I was told by PennyMac that I first had to apply for modification ( denied in XXXX of XXXX ). I was then told that I had to apply for a short sale before I could be considered for a deed in lieu. Both the deed in lieu and short sale were denied in XXXX of XXXX based upon their XXXX XXXX appraisal. However I continued my attempts to avoid foreclosure by listing the home which failed inspection by a potential buyer in XXXX XXXX which I provided to PennyMac. I subsequently obtained my own appraisal in XXXX XXXX which the PennyMac refused to consider because it was substantially lower than that obtained by PennyMac in XXXX XXXX. After another purchaser presented, PennyMac refused to consider a short sale and finally repeated their appraisal which still is considerably higher than the market will bear. 
I had contacted HUD who suggested that I undergo credit counseling which I did. Both HUD representatives and the XXXX credit counseling agency were concerned regarding my experience with PennyMac and apparently mine is not an isolated incidence. I currently have a buyer ( short sale ) however while PennyMac has finally decided to present my file to HUD, they are not being forthcoming regarding information required from me and although this information has been previously provided, I am concerned that " lack of information/compliance '' will be used as a means to terminate the short sale and proceed with foreclosure which is now scheduled for XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 
I am in disbelief that PennyMac maintains the position that foreclosure is a better financial alternative to a short sale. My credit has been significantly and adversely affected by PennyMac 's commitment to proceeding with foreclosure as the representative has also refused to intervene and place these proceedings on hold.

Consumer complaint: For the past several months there appears to be an extra charge on mortgage statement of {$32.00}. I contacted my mortgage company several times about this ( Greentree Mortgage ). And every single time I call, their representative gives me a different excuse for that charge ... i was told its a late fee ( their late fee is {$26.00} ), I was told I over paid XXXX month and because of that their system now thinks thats my new monthly payment, i was also told that years ago my previuos mortgage company did an inspection and thats what that charge is for. I even spoke to a supervisor who told me that there was an error in the billing, however all those customer service representative said to disregard that and that it would be corrected. After months of calling them and getting different answers I 'm still getting this charge and no one can correct this. I even sent an email to the company. Just on XXXX I called XXXX times got no where, XXXX person I spoke with transfer to someone else who then put me on hold while she research the account then hung up on me while I was waiting for her on hold. I feel there 's a mistake on my account and no one wants to correct it because whenever I call their customer service rep does n't understand my account, puts me on hold and then they all give me a different reason for that charge. By the way my monthly statement does not give a reason for that charge.

Consumer complaint: I have been trying to obtain a mortgage from a financial institution for over 3 months. In this time frame, they have requested irrelevant and personal information, neither of which pertained to my loan. I have gone above and beyond providing whatever they asked for to the best of my abilities until I had finally had enough and told them they were invading my privacy. I have an almost XXXX credit score and no debt on my credit report. I have been dragged along and promised on XXXX specific occasions that I was 100 % approved only to be followed by " and now we need this, BUT you 're still 100 % approved ''. I fear I am going to lose the home I am trying to purchase due to their outrageous demands for irrelevant information and being dragged along for over 3 months. If I choose to go with another lender, I will be out over {$18000.00} due to rates rising as well as the money I have put into all the appraisals and inspections I have already put into the home. Approximately a week and a half ago I was surprised with a call from the lender demanding I produce a document that the sellers claim does n't exist. It is a " XXXX road maintenance agreement '' and I was being forced to draw up a petition and have all my neighbors sign it and the purchase of this home I 'd like to buy is contingensign people I do n't know and that do n't know me signing this agreement. I do n't feel this is fair to place the fate of this home on my soon to be neighbors who have already supposedly not agreed to sign the made up form. I 'd like to report SunTrust for false representation and fraud and if they do not approve me after all this time and I 'll be out so much more money, I 'd like to some how getthat back as well to put towards my new loan. Time is of the essence on my loan given that my closing date is XXXX XXXX. Thank you for all your assistance.
