Consumer complaint: We received a letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 from the XXXX County Treasurer stating that our current taxes on parcel XXXX had not been paid. The letter stated that fees and penalties had been applied and if payment was not made by XXXX XXXX, 2015 our names would become public notice for delinquent tax payments and further sanctions would occur. We contacted Green Tree Servicing company which is handling is now servicing our mortgage on XXXX XXXX, 2015. We explained the letter and made mention that our XXXX statement reflected a notice that County Taxes were distributed XXXX XXXX, 2015. The customer service representative confirmed that distribution date and stated it would take TWO weeks for someone in the tax department to review and respond and that would be on XXXX XXXX. We followed up with XXXX subsequent phone calls on XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, 2015. We were told today that there had been no resolution and it would now be escalated to a Supervisor and we can call back on Friday, XXXX XXXX for a status. This is not acceptable by any means!!!

Consumer complaint: I believe this collection company does not have my proper information and therefore can not collect upon this disputed debt.

Consumer complaint: I had settled a debt with a collection agency in XXXX of 2015. I was given a receipt for paying this debt, which says the account would be closed. However, this debt has been posted to my credit report as " in collection ''. The receipt ( as well as what I was told by the collection agency ) makes clear that this debt was accepted ; therefore the delinquency in my credit report is false.

Consumer complaint: I changed my address for my account at Ally bank to a local address in XXXX, WA. Ally bank once again locked me out of my account without even contacting me at all and are stating that they need verification that i live at that address. This address is for a food bank. I am homeless and therefore do not have any utility or other bills sent to this address. This is an ongoing problem with ally bank, but not a single XXXX of my other institutions. not XXXX, not XXXX, not higher XXXX ( my student aid bank ), not a single other financial institution has a problem with me or my addresses, but ally immediately shuts down my acct everytime i try to change my address with them. They even once changed my address against my will and without authorization, then tried to lock me out yet again. I am sorry that i do not have a permanent address like most people but surely there are other people this is happening to. my dad retired as a XXXX and had a XXXX for years and never had a single problem, but yet ally wants to give me problems all the time. This is discrimination against the homeless and i am sick and tired of it. this is like the XXXX or XXXX time ally has locked me out of my account and refused to allow me access to my own money. How are they allowed to repeatedly do this???!!!

Consumer complaint: My son, XXXX XXXX XXXX attended XXXX XXXX XXXX and received his degree in XXXX. I co signed on the loans with him. He paid on his loan with Wells Fargo without missing a payment when he had his first job. Then he moved to XXXX XXXX and was in the process of finding work. We took a forebearance for about 5 months. As soon as he got back on track he began paying his loan again. We requested that I be removed from his student loan obligation, and I was told that since he took the forebearance, we no longer qualify for me to be removed. He has been making payments for over a year now in good standing and they still will not remove me as a cosigner. Please let me know what information you require to research. 
Thank you.

Consumer complaint: I paid Trans Union credit reporting agency to provide me with credit reports and credit scores for all XXXX reporting bureaus, but got a vague report and speculated credit score. I checked my credit score through XXXX website to find a completely different number. When I spoke with a supervisor ( Name XXXX ) he told me they calculate the score for all XXXX companies in their own way and that I agreed to some writing about it. They have the actual XXXX logo on top of the credit score with a different number than XXXX actually reports. This is misadvertisement. I did not receive what they advertise.

Consumer complaint: Unfortunately, due to my ex abandoning our family and deciding not to pay the mortgage payments, I was unable to make the payment on my home and Green Tree Lending foreclosed on the home. During the whole process, I tried to get them to work with me to save the home but because only he was on the mortgage, although I was the one living in the home, also getting sued, attending all the hearings and responded to all the notices, they would not talk to me. I was told that when I got the divorce in my hand and the house was awarded to me, then they would then talk to me. This was on a conference call between their lawyers, me and my lawyer. I received the divorce three weeks before the home was scheduled for auction. When I called to submit the documentation, they told me that they could not help me and good luck. So the house went to online auction, no one made a bid and GT kept the home. Afterwards, I tried to contact them numerous times to get some kind of timeline for moving and they would not even give me the time of day. They said to call the lawyers, the lawyers said to call them and so on and so forth. Well, without receiving any formal notice of vacating, unexpectedly at XXXX a sheriff shows up at my door and tells me that I have 30 hours to vacate or I will be escorted from the property. I lived in that home for XXXX yrs, tried to work with whomever to save the home but to no avail and my final hours there were on the heels of being evicted???? This is ridiculous and preposterous!!!! It was a complete nightmare, at great expense, both emotionally and financially to get my whole life, including pets, out of the home that quickly and having to borrow money to make it happen. I had to put everything in storage, gave quite a bit away and left things behind because I simply did not have the time or place for it yet. I even had about half the home packed expecting the inevitable since no one was working with me to stay but went through this nightmarish experience anyway! No one should have to go through this, especially when I vehemently tried to save my home and did all of my due diligence. I have had to move, with my pets, into my sister 's home because I was n't given the decency of time to find a place. Needless to say what an inconvenience this is for her and her family! Thank God I had this option. What if I did n't? By myself and thrown out without a shred of decency for a fellow human being. All this talk about helping homeowners is a bunch of baloney. The lenders do not care at all of people 's hardships or wanting to work with you, as displayed perfectly in my case. Do I have any recourse here and I want a formal complaint made because it needs to be and to hopefully help someone else in the future. In this day and age of technology and commerce, EVERY business should be held accountable to fair practices, a level of integrity and be reprimanded when they do not.

Consumer complaint: A tenant in my XXXX wrote a rent check of {$1400.00} and instead of making the check out to the park, she made it out to the park managers wife, The check was endorsed by the wife, then endorsed by the park as " for deposit only '' and deposited in the park 's account. The tenant then became angry at the managers wife for some reason and went to the bank ( Wells Fargo ) to check on the check. The bank produced a copy of the check which showed the wife 's endorsement and the " for deposit only '' park endorsement. The bank also produced the tenants account statement that showed the check being cashed at the counter. The tenant was then convinced that the managers wife cashed the check and took the money. She threatened the wife with criminal charges. This episode caused many problems - too many to discuss here. My complaint is that the Wells Fargo Personal Banker, XXXX XXXX, when presented with XXXX conflicting facts, regardless of the banks error in producing these XXXX conflicting data, did not recognize this and allowed the tenant to leave the bank thinking the check was cashed at the counter. I think that both XXXX XXXX and the Wells Fargo bank should be reprimanded. After several visits to the bank trying to resolve this problem or at least get an " I 'm sorry for your inconvenience and mental worry about being arrested, the bank Service Manager, XXXX XXXX and bank manager, XXXX XXXX refused to admit any fault.

Consumer complaint: As a XXXX-year old wife of a XXXXyear old husband, I had, in XXXX XXXX, 2004, and, currently, have an interest in a second home XXXX. My husband took out a loan on this second home in XXXX of 2004 as a married man, and was in title under the same. I have come to find out that my name should have been acknowledged and my signature added to the Borrower 's Affidavit as an interested party who may assert a claim and it was not. I am now in a divorce and was not made aware of this debt until recently which has put me in a compromising position that will ultimately affect my retirement savings.Technically, my husband 's homestead is in XXXX the jurisdiction of the divorce. For this reason, I would like to speak with someone about the falsified Borrower 's Affidavit and how this issue can be resolved. This is a residential property and I should not have to obtain counsel. I note that the title company that handled this loan closing was XXXX and currently their status is " forfeited ''. 
Thank you.

Consumer complaint: Creditor : Macy 's XXXX calls gives false information and collection department provides no transparency. 
Credit card holder since XXXX, I closed the account around XXXX because Macy 's illegally withdrew money from my checking account. 

I was past due for a XXXX XXXX XXXX payment and in XXXX XXXX I attempted to become current. I changed payment arrangements around and explained that I get paid with a paper check not electronically. The last customer rep ( with a strong accent ) I spoke to assured me verbally that I had till the XXXX XXXX XXXX to make partial payment and also arranged for future payments to be drafted from the checking account. Macy 's reported it late. I called their credit division to inquire:1st call - Customer Service rep. said I was late for two straight billing cycles. I explained the conversation with the customer rep and asked if they would pull the recorded call. He said they do not record calls. I asked to speak to his manager. Manager was absolutely unprofessional and asked why I missed the payments. My explanation was not enough. 
2nd call - to XXXX on the statement and spoke to a rep. ( with a strong accent ) she apologized and said I should not have been reported and connected me to credit division. Another rep. explained there was nothing they can do, their manager wrote " I did not pay because I had no money to my account. '' He also admitted that they do record calls but he does not have access to them3rd call - Credit division, rep. said if I would have made that partial payment before the XXXX I would not have been reported. Furthermore ; she continued to assist me with the rep ID numbers from the calls I made prior. She apologized for the miss-information I was given by the rep. in question. 

Also I tried on various occasions since XXXX to enroll in a hardship program via the XXXX provided on the statement. My income decreased, I wanted to continue making payments but needed help with lowering the interest rates. The reps. ( strong accent ) confirmed Macy 's does not participate in such programs. Well I get a letter from Macy 's responding to a BBB complaint I had submitted. Again they apologized for the inconsistency for the reps. and suggested I enroll in a program available to me if I am having financial difficulties. I called the XXXX on the statement and a lady with ( a strong accent ) said Macy 's does not have such a program. Once I referred to my letter, they placed me on hold and lady with no accent came on and was ready to help. I FINALLY found someone who would help and with professionalism. My interest rate went down to 9.99 % from the average 28 % and she changed my due date. Also min. payment was decreased. Had I received this help earlier, money would be saved with lower interest rate, it would have avoided stress and unfortunate 30-day late marking on the credit reports that I have to deal with.

Consumer complaint: In XXXX 2015, I opened a Bank of America credit card to make a big-ticket purchase from a sporting goods store because of the incentives provided by the credit card. It was the only purchase I made with the card. 

Upon receiving my first bill, I saw that there was a late fee because Bank of America had not received a payment for the previous billing statement. I was unaware that there was a previous statement. I submitted a payment for the full purchase amount, which was posted on XXXX XXXX, 2015, prior to the XXXX XXXX, 2015 due date. On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I contacted Bank of America to close the account and to see about having the late fees etc ... removed. At that time, I was informed that the account was closed, but there was nothing that could be done about the late fees. 

I contacted Bank of America again on XXXX XXXX, 2015, because the bank has begun reporting my account Past Due even though it has been closed for several months. According to the bank representatives I spoke to, my only recourse is to pay the late fees and interest, and then they can request a refund of the late fee ( which is only {$25.00} of the current {$49.00} balance ) as well as a request to update the credit reporting ; however there is no guarantee that either request will be approved. Additionally, I was informed that if had requested assistance with the late fees earlier, Bank of America would 've been able to remove them ; which contradicted what I was told in XXXX. 

I acted in good faith by paying the purchase balance of the credit card as soon as I was aware there was a balance due, and it 's not unreasonable for Bank of America to exercise leniency as a result.

Consumer complaint: I received a temporary modification via which the interest rate I am charged during the interest only period of my loan was more or less fixed. The interest only period will end in XXXX 2016 and the loan will become fully amortizing in XXXX 2016. Since I am permanently and totally XXXX and my income is not likely to increase I will not be able to make the fully amortizing payment beginning in XXXX 2016. I contacted Wells so that we could begin the modification process well before any potential delinquency. Unfortunately it is beyond clear, based on statements made to me by Wells ' employees, that they are either unable or unwilling to address my actual circumstances. I was expressly told yesterday that Wells would evaluate my information to see if there has been any change in circumstances since the temporary modification was made even though I am not requesting a modification for anything except the fully amortizing loan period. In effect, I am being told there is no point in my submitting any information since Wells is unwilling or unable to understand the fairly simple nature of my request which is to modify the fully amortizing loan terms scheduled, by contract, to begin in XXXX 2016. Simple math is sufficient to understand that I will NOT be able to make the fully amortizing loan payments nor do I wish to wait until I am already seriously delinquent which will happen beginning in XXXX 2016. Since first contacting Wells I have been told that I have a single point of contact and was told yesterday that I will be assigned a single point of contact. In any case what I need is to speak with someone who actually understands I am being proactive in the hopes that I can, inter XXXX, not become delinquent and not have to engage Wells Fargo in litigation to process what is, at present, a simple request. Because the nature of my XXXX involves having XXXX which has XXXX and because the XXXX any attorney from representing me in negotiations with Wells I am reaching out to the CFPB for assistance. I will also note that NONE of the " HUD counselors '' actually offer assistance and, instead, provide " workshops '' or what amounts to cheerleading neither of which constitutes any actual assistance in my case. While I realize, especially after having worked as a legal aid attorney, that most consumers do not seek assistance until they are seriously delinquent I do not believe that is prudent or in any parties ' best interests. Accordingly I am hoping that CFPB can assist me in reaching someone at Wells who, like me, sees the benefit of assisting me proactively and taking meaningful steps to ensure we do not wind up in litigation.

Consumer complaint: I 've sent over XXXX different dispute letters to Experian, and while all the other Credit Bureaus have removed the items from my credit report, Experian refuses to even respond to my dispute letters ( which means every account I disputed should come off XXXX. On top of that, I 've called some of the accounts that are still reporting to Experian, and they told me that they 've already requested that Experian delete them ... But Experian does n't do it. 
Please be clear, I am not asking for Experian to now start the disputes on these accounts, I 'm requesting they be deleted, immediately.

Consumer complaint: Citibank , N.A . services my Best Buy credit card ending in XXXX. I noticed a fee titled " XXXX XXXX '' in the amount of {$23.00}. I used the instant message with Citibank to see what this was. I ended up calling the number provided. This is a credit card add on debt protection program apparently. The program pays your minimum payment for 3 months if you lose your job, move, divorce, etc. I asked how much I had inadvertently paid to this ridiculous program. I was advised since 2011 I have paid {$530.00}. I have no recollection of signing up for this program. Furthermore, the fee does not appear on the online portal. You have to physically open up your statement to see this fee. This is totally unacceptable. I want all that money back and applied to my card. I 'm now facing promotional deferred interest that is about to be applied to my card. This {$530.00} would cover that. Plus, who knows how much money I 've paid in additional interest. Citibank just got fined by the CFPB for this issue and was supposed to reach out to me to reimburse me. I 'm having to go through the CFPB to have them reimburse me which seems like a violation of the consent order.
