Consumer complaint: I have XXXX from college and borrowed XXXX and XXXX from sallie Mae in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Since the loan now is past the six month mark and payments are through the roof. Over XXXX a month combined. I am unable to pay this amount and my mother the cosigner is unable as well. My father is deceased so that is not an option either. To make a long story ahort I have been dealing with sallie Mae since XX/XX/XXXX. They has me give all my and my co signers financial info for a rate reduction program that they said I was eligible for at XXXX a month and 2 percent interest for two Years and after two years we reevaluate they had me put a months for earance on the loan as well. Now the program has ceased and they claim its due to their mistake in me putting the loan into forbearance. I had to give all financial info for both again. Now it 's being denied due to processing stating that my mom made XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. She did not tell them this nor did she make that. She made XXXX and would never inflate it like that also they say she has XXXX in a savings account in XX/XX/XXXX as well. She does not if she did she would not need their money. She has an annuity that can not be touched that 's about it. They will not do the rate reduction program now and we 're very abrupt about it and I am unable to pay the over XXXX dollars a month. I am not refusing to pay. I am able and willing to pay through the rate reduction program and if in XXXX years my situation changes we will reevaluate then and go from there. Please if you can help I would appreciate it. They are untruthful for their own convience. And I just need help to pay the loan at the rate in which I can afford. I did not add that the loans at present are 7.5 and 8 percent. I am not sure what your agency does but any input would help. I was told no from sallie Mae yesterday XX/XX/XXXX. Thank you XXXX

Consumer complaint: I have been going back and forth for a few years with this collection agency who has been unable to validate the cause for said charges being collected on behalf of XXXX. I have disputed the collection with the credit bureaus more than XXXX with them being deleted due to no verification. I have made it very clear that the charges are not a valid amount and based on the current FTC cramming case, there is obvious proof that the collection balance is invalid. I have been validated as a customer involved in excessive cramming charged being added to my bill on multiple XXXX accounts. At this point, I would like COI to figure this XXXX out with their client.

Consumer complaint: I had sent payment to XXXX Mortgage in XXXX as I normally do and my payment was not applied to my loan!! LoanCare ( debt collectors for XXXX Mortgage ) have been contacted on NUMEROUS occasions and nothing is being done to rectify the situation. I have also sent a copy of the cancelled check to various dept 's within LoanCare and everyone seems to be clueless as to what is occurring. My FHA loan has been in default for the last two months and I am very frustrated with this Mortgage Company. On or around XXXX XXXX I again sent a copy of my cancelled check and I received notification from their Mortgage Company Resolution Dept stating this matter is important and will be dealt with accordingly. Nothing had been done. I finally went to XXXX XXXX XXXX Office ( XXXX in VA ) to seek help. I was welcomed by XXXX XXXX XXXX and she was appalled at the service provided by LoanCare. We were on the phone for approximately 2 hrs and nothing had gotten accomplished! Every rep we spoke with had given us misguided information which worsened my nightmare. I am receiving notification that my house is going to be foreclosed on and my mortgage payments are CURRENT. Late fees have incurred and my credit is now tarnished! U ca n't imagine the stress and aggravation I am enduring. I have been directed to file a complaint with CFPB because this matter needs attention due to the severity of the actions from LoanCare. I sent them my payment, they CASHED the check but wont apply it to my mortgage!!!!! My credit has been tarnished due to their negligence and they must be held accountable. To add insult to injury when I left my Congressman 's Office I contacted the Mortgage Resolution Dept to find out the status of my complaint. U would not believe the response that I received. I was told that they received my complaint accompanied by the canceled check but the fax was misplaced. WHAT!!!!!! I was told to send in another copy of the canceled check so the complaint can be reviewed. The " Notice of Error Acknowledgment '' that I received from them dated XXXX XXXX pertaining to my complaint had n't even been reviewed ... .today is XXXX XXXX!!! I asked the rep how could u receive documentation and it get misplaced? Furthermore when was I going to be notified that LoanCare needed another copy of my canceled check for the XXXX time?! Her response was " well we have 30 days ''. Seriously!!! As I am about to furnish them with a copy of my cancelled check the rep calls me back to say they miraculously located my fax. I wish that I would have NEVER of refinanced with XXXX Mortgage. Stay away from this Mortgage Company!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I attempted to see what number they were calling, she refused to help me and hung up. I am TIRED of their rudeness. I left yet another message for XXXX the negotiator, I have NEVER received a return call from him.

Consumer complaint: This is about Checking account with Bank of America. We ( myself and wife ) have been using this account from past XXXX years to deposit salaries, pay for utility bills, credit card bills and lot of other day to day stuff. One day, without informing us they froze our accounts as they needed more information ( name, address, phone number etc ). Freezing of account occurred during XXXX week of the month - exactly when all BILLS and credit card payments were scheduled. Due to this unannounced freezing, none of our bills got paid and we end up incurring late payment fees and more importantly, affected our credit history. This action not only created payment delays but created lot of unnecessary stress to me and my wife and affected our outstanding credit history.

Consumer complaint: Signed up for XXXX XXXX XXXX service on XXXX/XXXX/15, activated account on XXXX/XXXX/15. Cancelled my service on XXXX/XXXX/15 after receiving XXXX bill with a service I did not agree to. Cancellation was approved by their retention center ( after buyers remorse period ) due to the misrepresentation of the service agreement and assured me no balance will be owed once the device was received by their warehouse. I returned the device on XXXX/XXXX/15 using their provided return label by a third party shipping service Newgisitics via XXXX. I called back to check on the status of the return of the device more then XXXX different times, XXXX XXXX XXXX reps responded that the tracking could not be located to " call back ''. Finally on my XXXX attempt on XXXX/XXXX/15, over a little 30 days from the cancellation date of XXXX/XXXX/15 I was recommended to open a " case ticket '' to track and locate the device. I was assured by the rep at this time, that the account would be suppressed due to this issue and that no collections would be attempted. On XXXX/XXXX/15 I began to receive daily calls by a XXXX number with no message left, I finally decided to call back on XXXX/XXXX/15 and it was GateStone, a third party collection agency hired by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX collect a debt. I notified them about the " case '' of the missing device and the Gate stone rep was kind enough to suppress the account till XXXX XXXX XXXX recalls the debt from them which I was told could be done immediately. I then called back XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/15 livid at the situation as they assured my account is suppressed till case had been cleared. I was told I would get a call back about the situation. After a few days and no call, I called XXXX XXXX XXXX back on XXXX/XXXX/15. The XXXX XXXX XXXX rep reviewed notes and stated the " case by investigation team '' noted the account on XXXX/XXXX/15 that the phone was located in their warehouse on XXXX/XXXX/15 and that a full credit and refund would be administered in XXXX billing cycles. Yet, they could not recall my account from a third party due to closing and paying out my account to the third party collection agency and now the debt is owed to Gatestone. I conferenced Gatestone and the At XXXX XXXX rep to relay the status on the account that a refund will be placed, account is now at zero but the payment must still be made to them direct from me. YET, after having reported the device was received and in good working condition, they still sent my account to a third party collection agency. I do n't understand why XXXX XXXX XXXX refuses to recall the account from the collection agency rather have me pay them direct for a debt I I never owed!

Consumer complaint: I have an FHA mortgage loan that is being held by US Bank. They are not being fair or accurate in their modification review and have been extremely difficult to deal with. They put me through a nine month process that was tedious and frustrating, have repeatedly lost or misplaced my information, have assigned multiple points of contact and have told me XXXX thing and then days later I am told the exact opposite by a different employee. All of this paperwork finally resulted in an offer, but the payment that was provided was close to half of my monthly income. Not only that, when I received the paperwork ( on XXXX XXXX ) the date that I was told I had to respond and or appeal the decision by was that day. The letter was dated XXXX XXXX. It is like they intentionally put me in this situation where there was nothing I could do to question or challenge their process. I am quite certain that US Bank made significant errors while reviewing my financial information. Months ago when I began the process my daughter was XXXX and receiving money from XXXX. However, during the process she turned XXXX and stopped getting that income. I think that US Bank believed that money was part of the financial picture, but it is not. However, they have not given me a chance to appeal or present my side of the story or open a new review, and instead have put me into foreclosure. 

When I bought this house I was a XXXX for XXXX and was well paid and felt that I had stable employment. I unexpectedly was XXXX in 2011 and could not find work for 8 months. I tried to get US Bank to consider me for unemployment programs but they denied access to any of these. I used my savings to pay as long as I could but could not keep up. I then contacted the Illinois State program XXXX and they approved me and paid the majority of my mortgage payment for about a year. During that time I found employment, but had been forced to change careers and take an entry level job at XXXX XXXX along with a pay cut of almost 70 %. Once the XXXX grant expired I began trying to get US Bank to work with me. It took almost a year to get them to actually complete a review, and when they did they used outdated information to come up with a program for me and then sent the information so late that I could not open an appeal into their information and decision. I am a parent and I have worked hard for many years to get this home. I totally understand that I signed a contract to pay for this home but I lost my job and was out of work. I have done everything I can to comply with US Bank and their requests and feel that I have not been given a fair or accurate review

Consumer complaint: I have been contacted by a collection agency on behalf of XXXX. I asked for verification of debt to be mailed to me, I was instead placed on hold and told that I had XXXX hour to respond to them or they would file charges. I advised that under federal law it was illegal to threaten me. I was then told they know the law and accused me of not wanting to pay a debt I owe. When I stated I wanted to verify I owe the debt and it was n't fraud, I was asked if I have a police report. Advised I do not because they have not sent me written verification in order to do so. I was then threated again that charges would be filed. 

This is a clear violation of federal law. They would not provide me with the company name, instead the supervisor hung up on me. Another violation. I called back and asked for the company name and was only given SPP.

Consumer complaint: I sold my home and with the sale of my home paid off my XXXX and XXXX mortgage with SunTrust Mortgage. The closing date of the sale was XXXX/XXXX/15 and the payment in full for both mortgages was received on XXXX/XXXX/15 ( confirmed by SunTrust Mortgage ). I am owed a refund of my escrow account by SunTrust Mortgage and XXXX refund checks were issued on XXXX XXXX, 2015 : the XXXX from my XXXX mortgage ( {$360.00} ) and the XXXX from my XXXX mortgage ( {$13.00} ). I received the {$13.00} check on Monday, XXXX XXXX. I have yet to receive the second check for {$360.00}. I have called SunTrust Mortgage numerous times and every time I get different information. the latest of which is that i must wait until 30 days from the date the check was issued to even request that an investigation be opened. I am EXTREMELY frustrated as for 10 years I never made a single late payment. I feel as though I am getting the run around and they are refusing to pay me the money that I am legally owed.
