Consumer complaint: Bank of America, after more than 1 year of requesting and re-requesting documentation, stated I did not qualify for a modification loan. The reason they stated was debt to income ratio, that I made to much. However, XXXX other banks stated my income was not enough to get a new loan. Therefore, how can Bank of America state I make to much income while all other banks state I do not make enough? This complaint is inline with the lawsuit file against Bank of America for paying cash bonuses to their loan officers for denying loans to qualified borrowers. 
( go to web site or read excerpt below ) XXXX. 

This is an excerpt from the law suit : " Bank of America routinely denied qualified borrowers a chance to modify their loans to more affordable terms and paid cash bonuses to bank staffers for pushing homeowners into foreclosure, according to affidavits filed last week in a Massachusetts lawsuit. " We were told to lie to customers, '' said XXXX XXXX, who worked in the bank 's loss mitigation department until XXXX 2012. " Site leaders regularly told us that the more we delayed the HAMP [ loan ] modification process, the more fees Bank of America would collect ... ... .... '' Bank of America has not offered me any other alternatives. There underwriting department is in disarray. I '' ve read XXXX other complaints online that back this up. 

My loan amount has now tripled. BofA appears to think little of your department as far as any threat to disallow them from any wrong doing.

Consumer complaint: 1. Bank of America has not contacted me regarding my financial situation. It clearly states on all forms that send that " We are here to help ''. They have not. They occasionally leave a message but do not follow up or require very long hold times. 

2. Bank of America refused to hear my appeal. I was told I would be contacted for the additional information I had, they did not contact me. 

3. It took Bank of America over 1 year to review and re-review my documents, only to determine I did not qualify. I appealed to review their documentation. They denied my appeal in a matter of a couple weeks when it took them over one year to initially make the decision, leading one to believe they expended little to no effort to review this case. 

4. Bank of America is encouraging me to default on making payments of my loan. They stated that this is the only way in which they consider helping out customers. 

5. Bank of America did not address all my concerns in the original complaint and stated so. They have not contacted me to assist in this matter. 

6. Bank of America sold me this loan based on false information. They explained it was a 30 year loan but did not explain it would be " interest only '' for the 30 years, that it would adjust after XXXX. I would not have purchased this type of loan if I had know this. 

7. Bank of America has offered me no solutions to resolve this matter. 

8. XXXX To which Bank of America states I make to much income for there loan modification program, XXXX other banks stated I made to little. XXXX 9. Bank of America stated that they would not give me exact information regarding the amount of income or debt one needs to qualify for a loan because they sated people could lie about it. However, some people may decide they need to get a job, or a higher paying job in order to qualify. 

10. Bank of America has assigned and then changed personnel to help me over XXXX times.

Consumer complaint: Your agency has yet to produce any solution from Bank of America. I 'm wondering if this is to big of a task for this agency. 
Bank of America has just increased my loan payment more than 3 times the rate. Bank of America informed me this was an interest only loan and did not explain that it was only for 10 years. Bank of America will not assist me in helping. Bank of America suggested I default on my loan before I can receive help. 

Bank of America has assigned and then switched approximately XXXX different managers or employees to help me. 

Bank of America took over 1 year to decline my loan modification. Perhaps this needs to be repeated. BANK OF AMERICA TOOK OVER 1 YEAR TO DISAPPROVE MY LOAN MODIFICATION. This is unjust to say the least. As a result, I now have to pay tripple the amount. I could have shopped for alternative a year ago. 

Please hold this bank responsible. Enough is enough.

Consumer complaint: Bank of America treated an outstanding customer with exceptional credit with horrible service. They took over 1 year to make a decision to deny my loan modification. This resulted in a payment now triple the amount. This delay prevented me from seeking other alternatives. They requested and re-requested information I had already sent for over one year. Further, Bank of America is encouraging me to default on my loan. Bank of America lied about the loan terms stating it was a 30 year loan and did not disclose it would change the terms after 10 years.

Consumer complaint: Bank of America stated I was not qualified because of my debt to income. However, they did not take into account the new payment which went from {$270.00} to over {$1000.00} per month. Further, they did not take into account rentals that are no longer occupied. Only XXXX representative has contacted me during the last XXXX complaints I have filed. A representative called me on XX/XX/XXXX to simply state that I did not qualify. I asked for other solutions to which she had none. All their information was based on documentation I have had throughout the last year. Much has changed, no one will assist. They have a recording that states " We are here to help '' They have not. They will not. I will go public with these complaints and send copies to my congressmen. I also would like to know if there is a fear of backlash that is preventing the CFPB from going ofter such big banks as Bank of America.

Consumer complaint: This complain is against Experian. Why is it that you can not use the United States court documents I sent to you? You did not explain the reason for this but yet you are going to go back the XXXX XXXX who is supplying the erroneous, incorrect, negative and outdated information to verify if the information is correct????? Look I have never had an individual account with XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX. I have never applied for an account with XXXX XXXX or any one associated with them. What documentation or what does it take for you to understand this??? My question still has not been answered ; How does XXXX XXXX verification have more authority than the United States courts?

Consumer complaint: I am trying to stop hard copy statements for my mortgage loan. My mortgage servicer is telling me that they can not stop them, as CFPB and " the law '' require them. I have no doubt that this is true, but I do think it is stupid. Is this actually required by the law, or was it just included in one of the implementing regulations? Can you give me any insight as to why the Government regulations are requiring the waste of paper and the increased costs of printing, postage, and distribution of something I do n't need or want?

ACR claimed they were calling to collect the debt, threatened that a courier would be coming out to my workplace or home to deliver a subpoena to go to court. He was asking for a total of {$3000.00}, because the {$150.00} had accrued a high amount of interested. I told him it was no way I was paying that and the only amount I would pay was the amount I owed. We agreed to settle at {$180.00} as long as the payment was made that day. I then proceeded to give him my debit card information and the funds were taking from my bank account on XXXX XXXX. I may have given him my social security number, however I can not recall. I really believed he was representing XXXX, because I was aware that I had an outstanding payment of {$150.00}. This guy new everything about me and the loan I had with XXXX. On XXXX XXXX I received a phone call from XXXX trying to obtain the {$150.00} payment. I advised them that I paid it on XXXX XXXX with American Credit Resolution. They then informed me that they have their own inside credit collections department and would never use a collection agency to collect their debts. They also mentioned that several of their customers mentioned being contact by ACR. When ACR withdrew the funds from my back it was listed as American Credit Resolution XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have since changed my bank account and debit card information.

Consumer complaint: I have lived in my home for over 13 years and have had a mortgage with CitiMortgage. I have gone through XXXX financial situations when I divorced and when I changed employers. The most recent issue came when I changed employers. When I changed employers my income went from {$1500.00} bi-weekly to $ 1500 monthly. I informed my mortgage company and asked for a hardship/modification. My current payments were {$1000.00}. which I had been unable to make but at the time I applied my mortgage was up to date. I was contacted by my mortgage company yesterday XXXX who informed me that I was approved and my new mortgage would be {$710.00} which was great because my take home pay is {$880.00} and I could pay a mortgage payment from XXXX check. After about 5 minutes I received another call from the mortgage company who told me that the information provided previously was an error and my payment would be {$1000.00} and I said that 's what I pay now how is that a modification? My issue is that I received a modification from this company before and my mortgage amount was almost exactly the same but I felt like I was compelled to accept it because I did n't want to lose my home because I have children. I am feeling that I am in a corner because I do n't understand why if I told them my pay has been cut in half and I need a hardship they believe its okay to give me the same payment and call it a modification. I believe that something shady is going on and I do n't know what I need to do to get to the bottom of the situation. I need a modification that will work for me and that I can afford. I want to keep my home but they really are n't giving me any options.

Wells Fargo Home Mortgage lost a class action suit because of their fraudulent mortgage practices.. I was part of that suit. It started 2012. I left consumers an option to recover additional monetary damages and other remedies. My credit has been damaged because of them reporting it as " foreclosure ''. I ca n't get any credit, loans, etc. 
My mortgage account was under XXXX XXXX.

Consumer complaint: I was charged by XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) for " Services Performed '' during XXXX separate emergency room visits to XXXX XXXX XXXX Hospital ( XXXX {$990.00} ; XXXX {$240.00} ). I asked several times in writing that they provide a description and some substantiation of these " services performed '' for each billing ... XXXX simply kept sending duplicate copies of their bills. Eventually they turned both billings over to a collection agency -- AR Resources. I 've asked this agency several times to provide a description and substantiation of the " services performed '' as well. They have sent nothing more than a statement of account ( twice ), listing invoices sent by XXXX for the first ER billing only. I still have absolutely no idea what " services '' these people performed during either XXXX of my ER visits that would substantiate these charges ( that are over and above what the hospital ER charged ). AR Resources continues to ignore my requests for substantiation of these debts and has reported both of these billings as " collections accounts '' against me to credit reporting agencies. I 've disputed these claims with XXXX and XXXX ; XXXX has removed them from their report ; however, XXXX states that these claims are compliant with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

I was stuck in the store for over XXXX hours and I had a wedding to attend that I missed becomes of this error that was made on account of Macy 's. I should have never been charged a fee then I was forced to make a XXXX payment just for the charge to go thru so in XXXX one month I made XXXX payments on an account that has never been late. I never use the card. I missed my brother wedding because customer service and the credit department where in capable of removing the block off my card. I was penalized for making an extra payment on my account keeping my account in good standing and paying on it early as a result of doing all that I was charged a late fee, my account was placed in internal collections, a block was placed on there as well as I was forced to make a XXXX payment in store so now my personal bank account was negative as well and I missed my brothers wedding because I was in Macy 's over XXXX hours trying to purchase a XXXX for the wedding. The service rep at the counter can vouch for the entire incident I was using the store phone as well as my phone and my wife phone to try to get thru to someone to unblock the card. Macy 's is horrible with posting payments correctly horrible customer service rude and condescending

Consumer complaint: I was billed XXXX for a XXXX I had back in XXXX. This debt was eventually included in a bankruptcy filed in XXXX. This debt was included in my bankruptcy, and Jason Craig & Associates was notified. They continued to try and collect this debt despite this fact. Today is XXXX XXXX XXXX, and this collection agency has sent a letter to me at my new address threatening to submit this old debt to the credit bureaus. Writing them has clearly done no good. Please make them cease and desist.

Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX 2015 I was contacted by " XXXX XXXX '' stating I was being sued by Shell for an unpaid credit card balance from 2003. I was told if I did n't pay I would be taken to court, sued, lose, and have to pay the dept anyway plus court fees. I am not privy to consumer law so I paid the balance because I did not want to deal with the courts. I do n't remember the person I spoke with but I do have contact information for the " XXXX XXXX '' based in New Hampshire and a debt collection satisfaction letter from the " claims department '' which I paid {$310.00}. The letter itself has the name in quotations. I should have researched it more but I was threatened to make a decision in one day. This company also had my personal information and social security number. As I learned more through my lender she stated this was done illegally ; that this " group '' used unfair, deceptive and unreasonable collection practices to re-age a credit card debt, which according to the FTC was time-barred debt. I am writing to dispute this and have it removed from my credit report as it is preventing my wife and I from refinancing and buying a new home. I feel as if I were well informed and went to court ( assuming is was actually a real and legitimate case ) that this would have been resolved and this negative item would have never reached the bureaus.

Consumer complaint: After filing a complaint with the CFPB, the debt collection agency said to contact them directly to work out a solution. However, there has been no response to mailed or emailed contacts. I have yet to receive the information requested from either the original credit card company, Citibank or XXXX XXXX ( Law Offices of XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, GA ). I think that the paperwork I requested will show that the accounts was closed prior to the date reported and at a lesser balance. Please help.

Consumer complaint: First of all I have no idea what this charge is for or when it originated. if it originated on the day that XXXX on XXXX XXXX of 2015 I have insurance through my job at XXXX XXXX XXXX and there should be no reason why there would be any charge on my account especially at a hospital. Also, it shows on my closed accounts that this same charge had been closed previously and reopened multiple times after I challenged XXXX it reopened in the other ( XXXX to XXXX ). Which seems to me to be sneaky, if you close it close it. I disputed it on XXXX saying I have no clue about this charge and they did nothing and showed me no documents on this charge. I really have no idea what its for. I have had insurence for the passed few years and have n't even seen a hospital. It is seriously affecting my credit unless it can be justified somehow I see no reason for it to be there. I do n't have any recollection of a almost {$900.00} visit. Please help. Show me documents, something.
