Consumer complaint: Bank of America mortgage account XXXX is being reported 'open ' as of XXXX XXXX, 2015 ( please see attached documentation ). However, after numerous conversations with Bank of America representatives including XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, I have been told that the account is, in fact, closed. Bank of America must clear this matter up immediately by correctly reporting the account status as closed. Failing to do so is in direct violation of the Fair Credit and Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( " FCRA '' ), and if the information can not be reported correctly it should be removed from my credit file.

Consumer complaint: I only use my Exxon Credit card to accept the {$8.00} Exxon Roadside Assistance fee each month. I have been paying {$8.00} per month since receiving the card in 1990. In XXXX of this year I missed my {$8.00} payment, but payed {$16.00} in XXXX, and {$8.00} each month since. I thought I was current again. 
I recently discovered that in XXXX, I was charged an {$8.00} late fee. In XXXX I was charged a {$26.00} late fee, and in XXXX, a {$35.00} late fee! Although I was current in my monthly Roadside Assistance payments, the only charge I was aware of, I was being charged a continually doubling late fee because of the single missed payment. When I called the company and asked to reduce the late fees back to the original {$8.00} charge, which I would pay because it was my fault, they said it was against their policy to reduce more than XXXX late fee. When I asked if someone with the authority to adjust the policy could call me and discuss this with me, I was told that the person calling me back would not have such authority. I am a paperless statement customer. If I were in a situation where I could afford only my {$8.00} payment per month, this late fee policy, now totaling over {$70.00}, would be a devastating burden. It is unfair. I would like to pay only the {$8.00} late fee that I deserve.

Consumer complaint: Hi, I was contacted by phone on XX/XX/XXXX and was told by an agent of Zenco Collects ( XXXX Texas ) that I owed in excess of {$22000.00} as a result of a debt from a XXXX credit card before XX/XX/XXXX. He said that if I did n't pay they would file a XXXX. He said he did n't have to send me written information and when I refused to accept this debt he said " enjoy the IRS '' and hung up. I called back a couple of times and they said they did n't have to write me with the information about the debt and hung up on me. I sent a certified mail return receipt letter ( XXXX ) of dispute on XX/XX/XXXX to the XXXX XXXX indicated on their website. I see the letter was not picked up and is being returned now. I sent XXXX more letters today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) -- XXXX XXXX to their street address, a XXXX-only to their street address and XXXX XXXX-only to the XXXX XXXX address. I informed them in the letter that all my debts were discharged by XXXX XXXX bankruptcy in XX/XX/XXXX, I have had no collection activity in the last 10 years, and there are no negative records on my credit reports that could be confused with a debt like this. I have not changed my address in the last 10 years so that could not cause confusion. I am concerned that they will try to create a paper trail or a basis to revive a non-existent or discharged debt and use the IRS XXXX to the same end. Please help.

Consumer complaint: I have reason to believe that my deaseased husband XXXX XXXX XXXX SS # XXXX, committed mortgage fraud and tax fraud in my name or my name that has been hidden from me until now because I was XXXX. I think that he forged my name on documents and included me on a bankruptcy without my knowledge. I believe that my credit report is also not disclosing this.

Consumer complaint: I am requesting that CFPB investigate the lending of credit practices ofCredit Acceptance Corporation. The vehicle loan product presented tome was done in very deceptive manner. I advised their representativethat the due date of the payment of my loan did not coincide with mypay date. I was advised not to worry because I was given a grace periodper the coupon book. I am constantly being harassed byCredit Acceptance if I do not get the payment in by the XXXX of the monthI have attached the coupon book and correspondence that I received onXX/XX/2015 stating the intent to repossess. Their practices are verydeceptive because the coupon book says by XX/XX/XXXX a late fee will beassessed and I was given the same information by the representativewho sold me the product but instead I receive an intent to repossess letter that isdated XXXX/XXXX/2015. The XX/XX/XXXX payment was made XXXX/XXXX/2015. I have filed a complaint before but now I want the corporation and it 's practices to be investigated. Please note : I have never been 30 days late on mypayment. I am a customer in good standing.

Consumer complaint: My mortgage was put in to C or lower paper when I had better credit. Since that time, the mortgage was sold and is being serviced by a handling company- Select Portfolio Services Inc . I have made numerous attempts to move to a HARP loan based on the value of my property vs. the current market value. These attempts have been thwarted, as we can not determine who actually holds the loan. This is very frustrating as I qualify for a much lower interest rate over what the current loan is charging.

Consumer complaint: My wife and I make monthly automatic payments to our Bank of America credit card. Those payments are set on a schedule, and we overpay on the monthly amount due. In an effort to pay this credit card off in XXXX 2015, an electronic payment was made of {$4400.00} on a balance of {$4400.00}. At the time of the payment, I called BOA to obtain the pay-off balance, and complained that we were charged a late fee in XXXX for a payment received on XXXX XXXX, which was due on XXXX XXXX. I requested the late fee be removed due to confusion over the holiday. The XXXX statement showed a balance of {$70.00}, including a late fee for receipt of the {$4400.00} 2 days late. Again, I contacted BOA in late XXXX to complain about the late fees, and was told they were removed from my account. I paid the remaining {$35.00}. In applying for a mortgage loan, we were informed in late XXXX that BOA had reported our account delinquent, and that our credit rating was damaged for what appeared to be a negligible balance. We called to complain, and learned that another late fee was charged to the account as the balance was paid off. So, we owed only the late fee. During the process of complaining to get the credit delinquency removed from our account and the late fees removed, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) told me that BOA would reverse the late fees and update the credit bureaus by the first week of XXXX 2015. I requested a confirmation letter, which he said he would provide. Meanwhile, unknown to me, my wife paid the late fee charge. He contacted by via phone one week later to inform me that BOA refused to issue the letter, correct its credit reporting and refund and reverse the late fees. As it stands, in an effort to pay this credit card off over 4 months I have paid BOA all that is owed and more, and they willfully, intentionally and in bad faith harmed my credit rating, and this is after they agreed to correct the entire situation.

Consumer complaint: Applied for a loan for a morgatge, found a false credit card under husbands name inhibiting us from acquiring a morgatge loan. Turned the false account into XXXX and Wells Fargo to be resolved, XXXX removed the account right away, no problem. Wells Fargo has been giving us the run around, been very rude and un-helpful. Has been several weeks and still is not resolved or removed. Wells Fargo can not find the account under my husbands name or social, but are still reporting it to the credit bureau. This is not only false information, but Wells Fargo ca n't provide documents proving my husbands connection to this account and I feel are refusing to help sort this situation out.

Consumer complaint: I keep receiving phone calls at work from an organization called Premier Portfolio Group. The person calling is XXXX XXXX. When I first spoke to him I informed him not to call me at work. XXXX calls back the same day and says '' I KNOW YOU TOLD ME NOT TO CALL YOU AT WORK BUT '' I then hung up on him. He continues to call daily and when both of my co-workers answered on separate occasions, he calls them a liar because they tell him they are not me and he tells them they are me and gets short with them. This company has gone too far. Numbers that they use : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, & XXXX. I have asked them to mail me a letter that states the information and debt they are collecting on. They refuse to send anything. I want my credit card info, my payroll department number. I am severely being harassed. I am ready to notify the FBI to investigate this company.

Consumer complaint: Mortgage loan process with SunTrust Mortgage began on XXXX XXXX, 2015. Contract specified 60 days to close. Due to numerous delays, as provided in the attached documentation, closing was delayed by 14 days. Additional expenses were incurred as a result of inefficient communications between me as the consumer and within the SunTrust mortgage organization, a two week time frame in which the application just sat on the desk of the both the loan processor and the underwriter, submission of blurred copies of vital XXXX forms when clear copies were originally submitted with the loan application ; submission of appraisal documents that were not in compliance with XXXX requirements when the correct documents were available, and a completely disjointed closing process that resulted in further delays. These expenses are detailed in the attached letter and supporting documentation. While the XXXX program is designed to help those who need 100 % financing to secure decent, affordable housing, the process SunTrust employs to evaluate these loan applications could be considered discriminatory against those who are economically and educationally disadvantaged in our area.

Consumer complaint: Checking account was charged XXXX Overdraft fees, I believe only one should be charged due to an oversight on my end. I called Bank of America and explained that when the ACH ( Transaction 1 ) posted the statement balance was {$2.00}, however they stated that due to pending XXXX transactions the available balance was - {$7.00} and that is why the fee was charged. Problems with this ... 1 ) they blatantly admitted they do not have a de minimis for overdraft charges and that even if an account was overdrawn XXXX cents, they would charge a fee. 2 ) the POS transactions had not actually posted and may never post due to other circumstances, however they are basing fees on these dollar amounts. 3 ) They wanted to charge the XXXX ACH transactions an overdraft fee because we do not " opt in '' to Regulation E Overdraft charges, they would have been unable to charge on the pending POS charges. 
Bank of America banks XXXX customers nationwide and use these practices daily across the board. These unfair and deceptive practices must cease before they continue to harm innocent consumers. 
Each time a phone representative explained their overdraft process to me, I asked to speak to a manager. The final manager would not even get on the phone with me. I had to explain the situation to her subordinate as her subordinate typed the information to her. I persevered and finally had the erroneous {$35.00} OD fee refunded but the phone representative made it very clear that the overdraft was my fault and they stand by their process of paying and charging overdrafts.

Consumer complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX . # XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX : XXXX XXXX of SS # ( XXXX ) Drivers License : New York # XXXX : Unauthorized Credit Inquiry XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX Whom It Concerns at XXXX XXXX XXXX : I have noticed that you have placed an inquiry on my Experian credit file dated XXXX. As you probably know, Credit Reporting Agencies treat inquiries as a statement of fact and will not allow a consumer to dispute them. Since it is against federal law ( Fair Credit Reporting Act -- 15 USC 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) for an entity to view a consumer 's credit report without a " permissible purpose, '' I am writing to inquire as to your alleged purpose for doing so since I did not apply for employment with your organization nor did I request credit from your organization. 
Based on the evidence in my possession, this inquiry was performed under false pretenses as described in the clear language of the law. 15 USC 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ) states, in part, " in the case of liability of a natural person for obtaining a consumer report under false pretenses or knowingly without a permissible purpose, actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or {$1000.00}, whichever is greater ; '' You are civilly liable to me in the amount of {$1000.00} for your willful violation of the law -- performing a " hard inquiry '' on my Experian file without my permission. I do hope that we can settle this matter amicably. You can remove the inquiry within XXXX ( XXXX ) business day of the receipt of this notice. Or, we can meet in court where you will end up removing the inquiry, paying me the civil liability fine, punitive damages for my score drop, plus court and attorney fees. The choice is up to you. 
Please contact me immediately at the address listed below. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX I received notice from my mortgage holder, Waterstone Mortgage, that my loan would be transferred to XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2015. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I called Waterstone and spoke with XXXX, who advised me to pay my XXXX XXXX payment ahead of time to avoid having a payment show late during the loan transfer. I did so over the phone, paying {$2500.00} on XXXX/XXXX/15. I have confirmation of this payment from Waterstone and the full payment was debited from my account on XXXX/XXXX/15. However, Shellpoint mortgage did not receive notice of this payment at the time the loan transferred, so their records still show that I owe them a payment for XXXX XXXX, 2015. I have provided the written documentation of the XXXX/XXXX/15 payment to XXXX. I have contacted both Waterstone Mortgage and XXXX XXXX multiple times by phone, email ( through their secure messaging systems online ) and sent written requests to XXXX to have the issue resolved. So far, all I 've gotten is both sides pointing fingers at each other, both claim they are investigating, but neither has resolved the issue, nor acted on my request to provide status updates. Waterstone mortgage took a full week ( from XXXX/XXXX/15 to XXXX/XXXX/15 ) to send a response to my online message inquiry. Their response was a form letter acknowledging that they were delayed in responding and instructing me to resubmit my request via the Message Center. Basically, I 'm back to square one with them. 
I would welcome advice as to how to get both companies to take action and respond - I feel like I 'm stuck in the middle with no recourse while both do nothing. Meanwhile, a {$2500.00} payment I made is lost in limbo and the new mortgage holder, XXXX Mortgage, shows me as being past-due on my payment, even though I have provided them with written documentation from Waterstone that I did in fact make that payment. What are my other avenues to ensure that ( 1 ) my principal balance is corrected to reflect the payment I made, and ( 2 ) my credit is protected? 
Word of warning to all consumers : avoid Waterstone Mortgage! Our experience throughout the process of buying our house was painful, and it 's only gotten worse from there. 

Company response: Company believes complaint is the result of an isolated error
Consumer complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I rescinded a loan " modification '' that was done by XXXX XXXX that was really a cashout refinance, because XXXX paid off my former first mortgage that was with XXXX XXXX without my knowledge or consent, and included these funds in the modification without disclosing it in any way. The loan has since been transferred to Select Portfolio Services, and I have filed numerous complaints against SPS, as well as a complaint against XXXX, which has not been answered yet. The modification was done in XX/XX/XXXX, which is well within the 3 year recision time allowed since there was no documentation of the additional funds ( no XXXX Statement or anything ) and no right of rescision given to me since it was a cashout refinance and not a straight modification, and I sent notice of rescision on XX/XX/XXXX. 
SPS refused to rescind the loan claiming there was no record of XXXX being paid off. 
I have ordered a copy of the wire transfer from XXXX to XXXX, which I will forward to the CFPB as soon as I receive it, as well as the payoff letter with XXXX 's fax number on it. The payoff request was done by phone on XXXX 's automated system, or I would also get a copy of the payoff request. 
SPS has done no research into the payoff to XXXX, which they should have full access to as the servicer of the loan, but has only kept claiming that there were no funds to XXXX.

Consumer complaint: I own an occupied resident. I was not aware of a loan transfer to another company, until I received a letter by XXXX with a returned check stating that owe {$17000.00} or go into foreclose. I called the company that I was sending my payments to, the person I spoke to said that they were transferring the payments that I was sending to the new company. I do not know why the original company did not send and email about the transfer. The first person I spoke too at new company could not answer my questions she hung up, so I called back an spoke to another person she explained to me that the company took over my loan XX/XX/XXXX. I asked her why such a high payment she told me that they have not received a payment since XX/XX/XXXX, escrow changed I do n't have escrow and that I owe for their legal fees. She told me that they tried to call but no answer I told her the number they were calling was changed about five or eight years ago. She asked how else they could get in touch with me, I mentioned to her that every other company that took over my loan in the past 25 years has always sent a certified letter within two or three months of taken over. I notice that my account number has changed. I also mention to them that I have no problem of paying my monthly payments if I was aware of this problem when they first took over the loan. And now they want me to pay more which I do n't have in my bank account. I explained that I have n't missed a loan payment in 25 years until this company took it over. I found out that the previous company was returning my payments from XX/XX/XXXX to present. I was asked to submit a dispute letter about the payments. I was trying to get more information before I wrote a dispute letter, so I sent them copies of all my payments to see what they had and I checked with my bank to see what was cashed, returned or that I have n't received. After I sent these copies, that not even a week they sent the amount to pay by wire. I received this letter two days after the date. At that time I was trying to get more information to write my dispute letter. I received a letter that discussion for dispute was closed. At this moment I have not received any correspondence with this company.

Consumer complaint: Good morning CFPB, I wanted to add to my file case # XXXX. I wanted to also state that they have miscalculated my income to expenses, Bank of America has denied me on the programs Hardest Hit Fund/Bank of America 's loan Capitalization program.

Ok thanks for your time.
