Consumer complaint: We had a home fire XXXX 2013. We settled with XXXX XXXX insurance ) for $ XXXX to rebuild our home. XXXX sent the insurance funds payable to us & AmeriFirst Home Mortgage - as we have a mortgage. AmeriFirst would hold the funds in escrow & pay out the funds in intervals as the home is rebuilt. At several points AmeriFirst would work with our builder to defraud us or coerce us to make payments we disagreed with. In the end, AmeriFirst helped our builder ( who quit before the house was done ) steal a great deal of money from us. AmeriFirst refused to give us the funds they were holding to repay invoices we 'd paid to rebuild the home. Then we received the final insurance disbursement, which AmeriFirst demanded they get the check ASAP - that was almost 2 months ago. Since that time they have made excuses, delayed & stalled reimbursing us for invoices we incurred. They absolutely refuse to repay us a single penny. They 've stated that they 'd release the funds once an appraisal was done to show the value of the home was over $ XXXXk XXXX our original mortgage ). They 've stalled & changed an appraisal to a BPO, FHA inspection, inspection & back to an appraisal. We ordered our own & showed that our home was $ XXXX, which is obviously more than $ XXXXk. Two weeks pass, we hire an attorney & AmeriFirst has objected to our motion to compel the release of funds since we met their requirement of $ XXXX in value. Now they 're objecting to the appraisal stating that they believe the value of the new construction XXXX sq ft home is well under $ XXXXk XXXX after spending $ XXXX ). This is simply another stall tactic to hold our funds. AmeriFirst believes the funds are theirs & that they should keep the funds in order to mitigate their loss of value on our home, which is crazy! This is the end of the story - but there 's so much more they 've done wrong - such as releasing $ XXXX to the builder after we clearly told them we no longer wanted any more funds to go thru the builder. They forced us to sign over the 2nd disbursement rather than pay bills thru AmeriFirst. Then after the builder quit & they were notified they 'd quit - AmeriFirst still worked with the builder to steal funds from us. AmeriFirst released inspection reports after the builder quit. AmeriFirst released information about how much additional money they were holding to assure the builder they could steal our funds & bills would still get paid. AmeriFirst has worked against us every step of the way & in very illegal & unethical ways - much like them continuing to hold funds for months when they clearly know from prior inspections & a current appraisal as well as FMV of new construction that their objection is frivolous & a delay tactic.

Consumer complaint: Here is what happened : they have refused to deposit this cheque, and refuse to credit my deposited cheques. 

to XXXX., XXXX. 
Here is the email to XXXX it is very explicit in its instructions. Instead of following these or making any attempt to cooperate, XXXX calls me and REFUSES to let me speak. That is beyond aggravating and does not help anyone. She refuses to give me her suoervisors contact, and wonders why I am upset! I have been treated extremely poorly by your bank. And XXXX was rude, hostile, aggressive and condescending. All woukd have been avoided if she had taken the 5 minutes needed to simply READ my email.

Consumer complaint: So I recently find out that all XXXX credit bureaus mixed my credit history with my XXXX brother 's credit history into XXXX single report. I already contacted all XXXX bureaus with this dispute. Unfortunately, XXXX is the only credit bureau that handle this dispute as a professional company. XXXX is able to fix this dispute within XXXX hours and I received the corrected report already. However, XXXX and TransUnion are the worst agencies I have never encounter. When I contacted their representatives, they all refuse to apology for the error. XXXX admitted their error on their end ( because all my information was reported under my SSN they simply just put all my info under my brother 's name. I saw a report with XXXX name and XXXX SSN which is pretty funny but XXXX was able to separate and fix the mixing error ). Those XXXX companies keep claiming that it is my creditor 's fault for not reporting the information with all detail ( as they claim they never receive my SSN so all my information were filed under my brother 's name and SSN which means I do n't exist in this country ). This get me very frustrated, as XXXX actually receive all my information under my SSN how does the other XXXX agencies not received the same information from my creditors? Clearly, those XXXX agencies ' employees were sleeping when collecting my information from my creditor and failed to notice my SSN number on the reported credit info. Second, the representatives ask me to mail in a copy of my SSN to prove my identity so they can handle the dispute " properly ''. I comply to the request yet its been freaking XXXX weeks and I have n't ' heard back from them regarding the status of the dispute. I try to pull my credit report from TransUnion and it is still stating no information under my SSN is available. ( As they still have n't separated my credit history under my brother 's SSN ) I demand an immediate response from both XXXX and TransUnion response. Especially TransUnion, the phone representative made a verbal agreement that the supervisor will contacted me within XXXX hours after my phone call but I never received any phone call from the so called " supervisor ''

Consumer complaint: My car was totaled on XXXX XXXX, 2014. I was hit from behind by a girl who was probably texting. My Insurance company took possession of my totaled car immediately and paid me off on XXXX XXXX saying, in writing, that as part of the settlement they were also paying off the balance of my car at Wells Fargo Dealer Services. Apparently there had been some change in the payoff when they sent the check and Wells Fargo sent it back to them. They did not pay off my car on time and I actually had to make another 2 payments on the car, which they reimbursed me for. A manager at Wells Fargo Dealer Services named XXXX assured me, XXXX XXXX and my attorney in a conference call that he would have the bureau corrected and it still has not been done. This month marks the 1 year point since I was hit and next month will be 1 year since they put this ding on my credit, reducing my score from XXXX to XXXX. I now need to buy another car for my family and am going to have to deal with the interest rates afforded for a much lower score than mine should be, due to no fault of my own.

Consumer complaint: My credit reports were hit with collection accounts from Southwest Credit Services with out sending me any letters in the mail or any other communication attempts just as I am in the processes of closing on a mortgage for a newly constructed home in XXXX XXXX, MD. I located their contact information online after receiving an alert on my mobile credit monitoring service to be greeted by rude representatives who were n't even able to located any accounts for me when I gave them my social security number. They can now that I have given it to them, but could n't prior to my first call. I was transferred to their fraud department and was told that I would be mailed a fraud packet that needed to be completed and sent back, but nothing ever arrived in the mail. Also was told that the items would be removed from my credit during the investigation, but that never happened either. I stand to lose XXXX of dollars in a earnest money deposit over a {$250.00} collection account. What kind of country do we live in that something like this can happen?

Consumer complaint: I have been in conversation with both XXXX Bank and Transunion and have requested my mortgage accounts with XXXX Bank be reported. XXXX Bank has been working for almost 2 years trying to correct this and Transunion refuses to add my two accounts with XXXX Bank to my credit report. They continue to tell me to contact XXXX Bank which I have done many times. I would like assistance from you to have Transunion correctly report my two accounts with XXXX Bank to my Transunion Credit report.

Consumer complaint: They have a robo dialer calling the number. I have not received anything in writing saying I owe a debt and to my knowledge I do not. The robo dialer simply plays a recording telling me to call them. These calls have occurred when I am not able to do so in order to get this resolved. For example, they called today ( Sunday ) and told me to call during business hours. The business hours provided did not include Sunday.

Consumer complaint: I presently have a credit card with Best Buy ( Citibank is now the lender for this card ). I am presently late with my payment due to a change of salary from my primary employment ( which is struggling ). The issue I encountered with the bank is this morning they contacted my parents home asking to speak to me regarding my credit card. My mom who just was released from the hospital after a month took the call. First of all I do not live at my parents home. My application DOES NOT have my parents number listed as a contact. I do know how they obtained this number. I have been a customer of Citibank for approximately 18 years - holding several checking accounts with them. This branch went into my personal banking files where I know I listed my parents as a reference. I understand a credit division has the right to contact me in this instance, but I DO NOT feel they have the right to " fish '' into my personal banking information and obtain a family members number. Is n't this against the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act? I would appreciate any investigation into this matter. Thank you.

Consumer complaint: Last year I made the mistake of taking a loan with Advance America. I contacted them repeatedly on trouble with paying it back and trying to resolve with a payoff program. 
I committed to paying back the loan XXXX at a time at which point they tried to debit XXXX from my account immediately. I immediately changed my card an bank account number to keep my funds so I could feed my family and pay essential bills. 
They called back threatening a civil suit unless I made another arrangement. They also threatened to have " personal '' collector come to my residence to collect. A practice I thought long gone and illegal. They were very vague and argumentative as most collection agencies are. 

I made the arrangement today XXXX/XXXX/2015 at XXXX but during the call the person repeated my Debit card number out loud in a room full of people. I know this to be illegal and it opened up my card to a variety of ways it could be used. They repeated back the number, expiration date and security code. Everything that would be needed to gain access. 

The contact person name is XXXX from XXXXXXXX from their verification department however did not divulge any of my information and limited the security questions to the last XXXX digits. 

This is very dangerous because anyone could have taken my information down. I have alerted my bank about this. I am launching this complaint to keep other consumers safe. I fully intend to pay this bill off. I do not however want random people knowing my debit card number and personal information. 

Company response: Company believes complaint caused principally by actions of third party outside the control or direction of the company
Consumer complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX I was granted a loan modification with my mortgage lender Wells Fargo after XXXX years and XXXX attempts. I was relieved that I was granted the modification and would be able to remain in my home. 
XX/XX/XXXX I listed my home for sale and attempted to obtain a mortgage on another home. I was denied the new mortgage due to a low credit score resulting from the years of " late payments '' that were reported by Wells Fargo during our working together to obtain the modification. In addition, I was recently told that due to the modification, I would not be able to attempt another loan for a mortgage for XXXX more years. These dings on my credit and inability to apply for a mortgage were never spelled out during the process. 
In addition, I also now have a lien on my title from FHA for XXXX. Please advise! 

Thank you!

Consumer complaint: Regions Bank holds the mortgage on my home. I applied to Regions Bank for a refinance loan. Regions put in in touch with a loan officer, XXXX XXXX XXXX. In my initial conversation, I disclosed to him which loan I wanted and our financial circumstances. Based upon this, Regions knew or had reason to know that I could not qualify under the requirements of the loan which I sought. This is the case despite the fact that we have excellent credit and financial resources. Today, over 90 % of loans are sold to XXXX XXXX or XXXX immediately after securitization. These two XXXX then issue securities guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the XXXX, either through securitization or as covered bonds. We fail to meet the income and debt ratios for the loan under XXXX XXXX XXXX guidelines. 
In this case, Regions was only prepared to make a loan conforming to these guidelines. I was informed of none of this. Instead of informing me of this by " prequalifying '' me for the loan based upon my verbal representations in relationship to the guidelines, Regions issued a full loan disclosure document. XXXX XXXX then asked me to submit detailed financial documentation to substantiate my representations which I did. Subsequently XXXX XXXX requested me to submit additional documents and had me increase the monthly distribution paid from our trusts and documentation confirming that this amount had been paid into our Regions ' checking account. The entire process took more than XXXX months and a significant amount of my time. 

Even at this point, no one bothered to inform me that based upon the documentation submitted I did not meet the underwriting requirements for the loan. Instead, I was asked to pay {$400.00}. for an appraisal to secure a loan that would never be made. Only after payment was made was the documentation submitted for a review by an underwriter who belatedly started the process leading to my being informed that I did not qualify. In short, Regions wrongfully caused me to spend {$400.00}. when either they knew or should have known that the loan would never be made. 
This is a wrongful consumer abuse. Apparently, the procedure described above enables Regions to make more loans with a lower overhead. Most banks have licensed mortgage brokers taking applications who will inform a customer right away if the customer fails to qualify for the loan under its specific underwriting requirements. I do not believe that the consumer should be stuck with the bill because Regions has changed the way this type of transaction is customarily handled without first disclosing this to the customer. Regions, at a minimum, should either conform its procedure to the customary way other lenders take loan applications or make prior written disclosure to a loan applicant that fees will be collected without prior prequalification of the customer.

Consumer complaint: Loan moved on XXXX/XXXX/15 to SPS. Escrow analysis done. I received letter stating check was cut and sent under separate cover dated XXXX/XXXX/15. I called XXXX/XXXX/15 and asked where check was. They could not locate it and I asked them to replace it. They informed me it could take up to a month to get a new check and said everything was taken care of and the process was started. I received a phone call from them over the weekend, they left a message that I could not understand. I called back on XXXX/XXXX/15. They wanted me to wait to place the stop payment until the end of the week because the check was n't mailed until the XXXX. I told them I would not wait. The request for the stop payment should have been placed on the XXXX to start the research process. I received the check dated XXXX/XXXX/15 at my home on XXXX/XXXX/15 with a postmark on the envelope of XXXX/XXXX/15. When I called today they stated that the check dated XXXX/XXXX/15 was no longer valid and another check was over-nighted to me on XXXX/XXXX/15.
