Consumer complaint: I have a credit card with Macy 's. I used it several times XXXX to purchase some dresses. I paid it off. Then I used it again at XXXX time, and I did n't think anything of it, but my statement arrived after the due date. I called and they reversed the late fee. It happened again in XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, and again in XX/XX/XXXX, in fact I just received my XX/XX/XXXX statement 1 week ago. I paid the balance off but I refused to pay the {$21.00} late fee. They stated they can only give XXXX-XXXX per 12 months, and they already gave me XXXX reversals. I said I do n't know if Macy 's is sending out statements late, in order to " collect late fees '' and that 's how they make their money! or if it my wonderful USPS in NJ.!! but in any case I still have not received my XX/XX/XXXX statement as of yet, and we only have a few days before it is due. I do not have online statements because of being hacked, and identity theft in prior years. I keep as much security as possible.

Consumer complaint: I have been trying to have a loan modification approved by Wells Fargo for almost two years now. I have sent in every document they have requested numerous times. As I am self-employed they have requested more and more documents and due to the inability to accept online documents, I have had to pay to have documents printed and reprinted, just so I can sign every page and then pay to have documents faxed to Wells Fargo. 
My financial situation became difficult when the economy crashed. Since I am XXXX I can not file for unemployment assistance. I had to use all our savings. Then my child became very ill and the last year was spent helping her become healthy, but the cost of the treatment, much of which was not covered due to being " out of network '' for our XXXX XXXX plan was a further strain on my finances. During all this I was trying to get Wells Fargo requested documents even though the form states that no documentation was needed. I also requested information on what to do if the house is now " under water '' as there is both a mortgage and a home equity line of credit and I believe the value of the house is now less than those XXXX loans. I have not been given any information on this. Now I am told again they need more documents but the person who can tell me what is needed has not responded to several emails and today is " in a meeting ''. When I requested immediate assistance I was transferred to a " manager '' but that went right to voice. I was told by Wells Fargo to stop making payments while this process went forward, now my house is in foreclosure. I offered to start making payments and even make a lump sum payment toward the past due balance, I was told they would not accept any payment. This is now impacting my health, my XXXX is unbelievable. I can not believe that Wells Fargo is allowed to buy up all the mortgages and then abuse homeowners in this manner. It is disgusting.

Consumer complaint: I received a letter addressed from Ally financial services regarding an " inquiry '' based on information Ally Financial provided to credit reporting agencies. The letter also provides me with an account number and vehicle information for a XXXX Honda Accord including the VIN number. 
I have not purchased a car since XXXX and when I called Ally Financial information and attempted to get information from a representative named " XXXX, '' he acted very cagey on the phone with me and did not provide me any information. When I asked to speak to a manager/supervisor, someone then came on the line and I could not hear anything but static during the whole conversation. 
I am saking the CFPB to investigate this situation and please provide me with complete details regarding 1 ) to whom Ally Financial provided information ; 2 ) what type of information was provided ; 3 ) what inquiry are they claiming was made by me or someone on my behalf that resulted in any release of information ; 4 ) copy of car payment history in my name as referenced in the letter from Ally Financial 5 ) all information pertaining to how Ally Financial has my name and address on record in association with a XXXX Honda Accord with VIN # XXXX.

Consumer complaint: We purchased a vehicle from a local XXXX dealer and the finance manager arranged for financing through Wells Fargo ( we were not given an option as to who would carry the financing, we were just told that the deal was done through Wells Fargo ). When we received our first statement, I noticed that some information was missing from the statement because I have been purchasing cars for several decades and I am familiar with what is normally included on a car loan statement. Specifically, the interest rate and application of payments ( e.g. how much of each payment is applied to interest and how much to principal ). With this information missing from each statement, we feel that we are being set up for future fraud. We have had numerous instances in the past where we have been defrauded by Wells Fargo but just never filed a claim but because of the size of the car loan being greater than {$20000.00} we are afraid that we are being set up. Calls to Wells Fargo, your organization ( CFPB ), the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, and the Federal Trade Commission have been received with nothing but resistance, incompetence, and/or ambivalence. As a result, there 's no question in my mind why Wells Fargo feels they can break the law with abandon. This used to be a country that was ruled by law. Today it seems it has become a country that is ruled by whoever has the most money. That 's not a political opinion, that 's a statement based on nothing but fact.

Consumer complaint: My Visa credit card was repeatedly charged after I authorized a single payment and even though the company rep originally apologized for the mistake, saying they would refund my money within 3-5 business days, I never received my refund and the rep no longer works there. I have filed numerous complaints with agencies and organizations but no one will help me get my money back. My last complaint was filed here earlier this month, Case number : XXXX, but I was recently sent the response " We reviewed your complaint and could n't send it to the company for a response ''. You had asked for additional information to the four months of credit card statements showing the charges on my card but since I was not the renter I did not have the rental documents and I am guessing that you chose to drop my case as opposed to investigating it. I just found my documentation from the XXXX complaint I had filed with detailed information on the company that I had lacked when I filed both of my previous complaints so I will submit a copy with this follow-up complaint in hopes of getting something done to get my money refunded to my credit card, plus the interest and fees that continue to increase that debt every month.

Consumer complaint: Regarding Complaint # XXXX First of all thank you so much with your assistance in this matter. 
I spoke to XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/16 and they reported that they did not received your letter or a letter from Exxon requesting the removal of delinquent payments from my credit file. 
XXXX and XXXX have already deleted this information from my credit report. 
I immediately called Exxon and they confirmed that a letter was not sent to remove delinquencies from XXXX. 
To add insult to injury, when I ask Exxon to send it to XXXX they refused to send a letter directly to XXXX. This contradicts your ( CFPB ) correspondence dated XXXX/XXXX/2016, in which they said they would. 
I am asking again for your help to get this matter resolved as Exxon responded they would in their response to you. 
Obviously, Exxon does not care if they harm a consumers credit and business reputation, however, they should take a CFPB intervention more seriously, stop bullying the consumer and follow through as they stated. 
Thank You again for you help. 
XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint: It 's almost comical about how hard it is to do business with USAA or how hard USAA makes it. USAA is impossible to deposit cash with and their XXXX store locaitons do not take cash. 

I recently was paid in cash and went to get a few money orders that were certified payments, yet USAA insists on putting everything on hold. This is a nightmare! 

The iPhone app they say will tell you if the deposit is going to be palced on hold before you deposit and this is true only some of the time. I find that other times after the deposit has been made only then do I get notified that the deposit is going to be placed on hold for " security '' reasons ... yeah right ... .security ... More like USAA wants to hold my money and invest/lend it and then release it to me 6 or 7 days later. Sounds like a good scam to me. This makes no sense. I have yet to deposit a check into my USAA bank account that has bounced. 

Whatever happened to banks doing the right thing for their customers? 

I ask that USAA not contact me by phone regarding this matter, by mail only.

Consumer complaint: My loan was sold to specialized loan services. We have had nothing but problems with them since. We were trying to modify our loan and were never told it was approved until after we missed theach first trial payment, which denied the modification. When trying to contact them our assigned agent would never return calls and everyone we talked to was extremely rude. Now we are at risk of losing our home.

Consumer complaint: I must start by saying this has nothing to do with my current mortgage. I 'm submitting this claim regarding my Home Equity Line of Credit. I know when I filed with Wells Fargo, to assume the mortgage note, I also filed to assume the Home Equity Line of Credit also as this was made knowledgeable me. The Equity Line of Credit was included but is not being acknowledged by Wells Fargo as of date. I filed chapter XXXX bankruptcy with the United States Bankruptcy court ( case number XXXX ) XXXX of 2013. Throughout the case, I 've received numerous correspondences regarding any adjustments to payment for which I 've have complied. I 've contacted my bankruptcy lawyer whom stated we did not file/ or included the Home Equity Line of Credit in the payment and that we needed to file which again will cost {$1800.00}. I 've also contacted Wells Fargo and to no avail I 'm back at square one. The Bankruptcy court documents states otherwise. In addition to this, my Home Equity Line of Credit statements which I 've been paying for, still has my ex-husbands name on the statements and it has been going to my ex-husbands address XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Fl. XXXX. But I 'm still paying for it. Changes have been made to my mortgage but not in its entirety regarding the equity line of credit.

Consumer complaint: Ditech LLC assumed our mortgage in XXXX XXXX. They have now raised our escrow payment by {$140.00} per month despite the fact that we have had an overage in our escrow in past years under a different service company. Ditech has established a required beginning escrow balance of XXXX, which is not consistent with our original loan. Our current escrow balance is {$980.00} after paying hazard insurance for XXXX in full. The only amounts that remain to be levied are monthly PMI and property taxes that the XXXX Assessor 's office predicts will total {$3300.00} in XXXX XXXX. The company claims an anticipated {$4700.00} property tax bill. In 15 years, our highest property tax bill has been {$3800.00}. I have been unable to speak to anyone to correct this clear error in determining our escrow payment. This seems to be a continuation of bad practices engaged in by this company when it was Green Tree. 

Company response: Company believes complaint is the result of an isolated error

Consumer complaint: XXXX XXXX, 2015 - Called XXXX / US Bank Home mortgage because I discovered that additional/extra payments were being applied to future due payment, not towards additional principal. Spoke with XXXX to resolve, he advised that previous payments can not be changed and that I must send in paper checks or pay on their website ( allowing ACH ). Asked to escalate to management and was disconnected. Called back and spoke with multiple people : senior representative, XXXX ( ID ROM ), team lead, XXXX XXXX, XXXX ' manager, XXXX XXXX. Was advised they will reverse only future monthly payments towards additional principal and will not correct retroactively. 

XXXX XXXX, 2015 - Called back and spoke with XXXX. Informed them they only applied two extra payments towards additional principal and then reverted to future monthly payments. XXXX advised she will correct this and while putting me on hold the call was disconnected. 

It has been more than one year since I called them last XXXX. I do not know how long before that date my extra payments were not being applied towards additional principal. Despite calling them multiple times, the issue still still remains unresolved. I have even set up two monthly payments for different amounts per their request with the memo stating " additional principal payment, '' and yet my payments are being applied towards future due payments. This lack of correction on part of XXXX XXXX / US Bank Home Mortgage is costing me a lot of money every month and making them a lot of money every month.

Consumer complaint: My home equity loan with Bank of America went through bankruptcy. They are now raising my interest rate XXXX basis points. I called them about this and their only explanation is that it is a variable interest rate. The mortgage company can not raise my interest rate or change the terms of of loan because of bankruptcy protection.

Consumer complaint: I write you as I believe I have been the victim of a consumer fraud across state lines which warrants a a certain level of investigation. What at first glance may appear to be a minor commercial dispute actually raises some very serious issues concerning consumer credit laws as well as IRS tax exempt status of the parties involved. 

XX/XX/XXXX I was illegally charged a {$200.00} membership fee on my Diners Club card ( XXXX ) by the XXXX XXXX XXXX through its proxy service agreement with XXXX. The XXXX XXXX XXXX claimed that I had authorized an automatic annual renewal of my membership for over {$200.00} per year. I never authorized the XXXX XXXX XXXX to automatically renew my membership nor did I authorize XXXX to automatically renew my membership. Furthermore, I never authorized the XXXX XXXX XXXX nor XXXX to hold and maintain my credit card information. Thus their actions were illegal. 

When protested and demanded that the XXXX XXXX XXXX reverse my credit card charges they refused to do so. It is my contention that the XXXX XXXX XXXX as an IRS sanctioned tax exempt organization crosses the line when exhibiting this behavior and should lose its tax exempt status. It also my contention that XXXX has built its entire business aiding and abetting this nefarious behavior by the XXXX XXXX XXXX and the other tax exempts that are its client base. XXXX should be ordered to cease and desist from these business practices.

Consumer complaint: I received an offer from XXXX XXXX offering XXXX reward points after spending XXXX. I applied and received the card. I made the purchases on the credit card within the time frame only to have XXXX XXXX tell me that I do n't qualify for the offer because I hold another XXXX XXXX card. I have written complaints. To XXXX but have n't received the credits. XXXX XXXX sends out offers to consumers to get customers and need to abide by the rules and honor their offers. I could have spent my money with other credit card carriers and received rewards for using ther credit cards.

Consumer complaint: I disputed an amount from a collections agency called Gold Key Credit Inc. and they did n't inform XXXX and XXXX, the credit bureaus that they report to. Every time I pull up things on my XXXX I see this derogatory amount from them on there. I know I have put 'threatened to take legal action ', but so far they have n't but I know that they will in the future. It 's just what collection agencies do, on top of that, they never answer the phone when I want to discuss my case with them.

Consumer complaint: Disputed statue of limitations of tax lien which has been paid to the State of CA for over 4 years now. Tax lien was placed on my credit reports on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. XXXX reporting agency has since removed the lien judgement form my report. Transunion is refusing too, stating that the lien will stay on my report for an additional two years because it was paid off in XX/XX/XXXX. They give this reasoning based on the FCA, but what I have read states that if the lien has been paid that it is only supposed to stay on your report for seven years from the date that the lien was issued. Please assist. I do not know what else to do to get this inaccurate information removed form my Transunion credit report.

Consumer complaint: Harris & Harris calls both our home numbers at least twice a day by robot-calls. They do NOT say what company or debt or amount or anything that would help us identify if they have a legitimate claim or purpose. Their phone number zooms past at the front of the call before one can pick up a pencil AND they do not repeat it at the end of the call. Their " caller ID '' number, when one tries to call it back, goes to some sort of electric buzz tone ( fax or hearing-impaired device? ) On the one occasion I managed to get a number down -- I called back to have an automated system place me on HOLD. After XXXX frustrating minutes ... I hung up. 

These have got to be the WORST debt collectors on record! They make it nearly impossible to discern their legitimacy or the debt or the number to call back. When you do call back -- they are not available. And yet ... 

Their robots keep CALLING AND CALLING AND CALLING AND CALLING. Day after day, week after week. It all seems to be done by automated systems that have no judgment, ability to interact or to update or question. 

HOW do we STOP them from filling up our answering machine with their automaton snippet-messages and from tying up our phone lines? When will a human contact us or answer their own lines?
