Consumer complaint: I applied for a modification in XXXX of 2015, I was told by my previous lender that the modification was approved. I was initially told my loan payments would go down to the {$1200.00} range, and then I was given documents that stated my payments were {$1600.00}. I was told to make my initial payment on XXXX/XXXX/2015 to the new servicer, JG Wentworth. I made that payment, as well as subsequent payments. My current lender, JG Wentworth is taking my payments, but they are not acknowledging the payments or applying them to my loan. They will not give me any mortgage interest or apply any payments. I have called multiple times and they are stating my information is not being updated in their system and there is no one that I can speak to because underwriting handles it and underwriting does not speak with people. They have also stated that I should still continue to make my payments of {$1600.00}, even though they are not being applied to my account, and even though J. G. Wentworth is sending me statements that say that my payment amount is {$1400.00}.

Consumer complaint: I signed up for what I thought was a {$1.00} credit report with Experian ( XXXX ). I was then charged {$24.00} for a credit monitoring service. I called the Experian and cancelled my " membership '' but they would n't return my funds. Unfortunately, I did n't see the fine print but this company is taking advantage of people. I would like my money back since I feel like I was taken advantage of.

Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I received a letter addressed to me stating that my Navy Federal Credit Union ( NFCU ) account was restricted due to transaction activity conducted on my personal account and that the activity conducted does not fall in line with NFCU 's underlying acceptance of risk. The letter instructed me to proceed to the nearest branch to withdraw all funds and close the accounts. 
I in turn went to a local NFCU branch in XXXX, VA on Thursday, XXXX XXXX to withdrawl all funds and close my accounts. However, upon arriving and speaking with a representative, I was told that my account was locked and even she could not withdraw the funds due to my account being under investigation. The branch had me speak to a security specialist, whom directed me to call her back the following Friday, XXXX XXXX to check the status of my account. 
I in turn called the security specialist on Friday, XXXX XXXX. She told me that there was a letter in the mail to me and to await the receipt of the letter. 
On Monday, XXXX XXXX, I received a XXXX letter from NFCU dated XXXX XXXX, 2015. This letter stated that after NFCU reviewed their records, it has been determined that the activity conducted on my personal account does not fall within their underlying acceptance of risk and for that reason, my personal account will remain restricted from use indefinitely and that I am to visit my nearest branch to withdraw all funds and close the accounts. 
On Monday, XXXX XXXX, I again visited a local branch in XXXX, XXXX After waiting for over an hour with my wife and newborn child, I was again told by the branch representative that the account was still locked and she was unable to withdraw the funds and close my account until the account was unlocked. She in turn called the security specialist whom was unaware of the signed letter sent to me dated XXXX XXXX, instructing me to visit the branch and withdraw my funds and close out my account. The security specialist then told the branch representative to fax her a copy of XXXX the letters I received, in addition to a letter written by me requesting to withdraw all funds and to close my account. The latter was not a requirement of either letters I received, but I sat there and did as I was requested and hand wrote the letter, signing and dating it. 
All in all, I have no issue with NFCU wishing to close my account, but I do take issue with the fact that they have sent me not XXXX, but XXXX signed letters from their Senior Vice President of Security Department, instructing me to visit my local branch to withdraw all of my funds and to close my account. I have wasted too much time with this matter and have done what has been asked of me. They are withholding funds that are legally mine which they 've instructed to permit me to withdraw. 
I do not know what to do, but this institution clearly does not know what it is doing.

Consumer complaint: I am requesting for the last time with this notice that the following inaccurate items be removed from my credit report. XXXXAccount Number : XXXX.The item are not correct result of ID THEFT and is causing me financial distress because of their derogatory information. Appropriately, I can show a judge at XXXX County OHIO that these accounts are inaccurate and that you violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by ignoring my requests to investigate the items correctly. My previous letters stated my reasons for an investigation and these reasons were not frivolous in any way. If this final request does not prompt you to conduct a proper investigation of the accounts in question, and send proof to me of said investigation, how it was done with who with contacts actions I will file a civil suit in XXXX County Against Experian for damages. I take my credit very seriously and your lack of proficiency and assistance is unacceptable. I am well aware of my rights under the FCRA and intend to pursue them to the maximum. You responded to be on XXXX via email with Outcome : Remains. It appears obvious to me that you are abusing your power under the FCRA to escape a complete investigation. I standby the right to sue your credit bureau for violations of the FCRA and I believe I can prove to full extent, that you did not use reasonable measures to insure the accuracy of my credit reports and now you are stalling the process further. I am irritated at your indictment and I have consulted with the court my rights in regards to my credit file. I look forward to your expediting my original request immediately. When someone is the victim of identity theft, it is simply a nightmare trying to get false information removed from a credit file.

Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX I logged on to the Citi website ( citicards.com ) and saw an offer for the XXXX XXXX card stating new cards would earn a reward of XXXX aadvantage miles for {$0.00} spend. This was way better than the typical offer for the card so I applied. On the application page the offer was again stated as XXXX aadvantage miles for {$0.00} spend after opening the card. I would not have signed up for the card if that was not offered. 

I was subsequently approved for the card, and upon receipt of the new card, it came with an offer letter stating that I would only receive the XXXX miles after I spent {$5000.00} on the card within the first three months of opening the account. 

I have contacted Citi numerous times. On XXXX XXXX I faxed them copies of screen captures of the Citi website clearly stating the offer, and have received nothing but misdirection and stalling with no confirmation that they are working to fix the issue. 

All I want is for Citi to honor the offer that was publicly displayed on their website.

Consumer complaint: I fell victim to the housing crisis like many around 2008. At the time I was lost my job while simultaneously going through a divorce. I was forced to file bankruptcy. One of the debts discharged in my bankruptcy was a installment loan for a car that was stolen and later recovered. That installment loan was with my bank Navy Federal Credit Union. Once I filed and was discharged the bank cut off online communication. My accounts remain with a positive balance however my access is restricted as a penalty. I was told by the bank that the only way to restore my normal access was to repay the lost of the debt. The bank recovered the vehicle after the bankruptcy and sold the vehicle however, they are stating that not only will be required to pay the debt to gain the access that I previous had but I have to pay the full amount discharged and that the profits from the sale would not be credited. I have read the disclosures I was able to find from when I opened the account and there is no mention of limited or restricted access for discharged debts. Not only is my access restricted but another account for which I am only the secondary authorized user on is also restricted. From my understanding a creditor can not take action for a debt after the debt has been discharge in XXXX Bankruptcy Court. I find this practice discriminatory and a way to force consumers to pay a debt that has been discharged.

Consumer complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I made a purchase on my credit card on XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment. 
Then XXXX XXXX I made another payment for my XX/XX/XXXX Bill And then XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment for my XXXX th Bill.

That it was my fault for paying at the beginning of the month and not a bank error.

Consumer complaint: TO : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CC : Wells Fargo Home Equity Solution XXXX # XXXX XXXX XXXX Home Campus XXXX XXXX , LA XXXX I am _______ a natural person whom is seeking assistance with filing a complaint against Wells Fargo Bank of New Jersey . This is about my primary Residence located at XXXX, XXXX. 

This notice is brought before you because a " debt collector '', has engaged in consumer debt collection activities within Wells Fargo Bank of New Jersey, against me. 

Wells Fargo Bank is attempting to collect the debt in relation to a mortgage Note, which they are not the " original lender '' or " creditor '' to whom the debt was owed. In XXXX of, 2013, Wells Fargo Denied my request for permanent Modification of my qualifying loan under the Home Affordability Modification Program which was provided to me by Wachovia Bank of NJ, my original lender. 

I have repeatedly provided Wells Fargo with all my financial information, including bank statements and cash flow analysis showing that the building is self sustaining in it 's ability to repay the Modified Loan Requested. But as of this time, they still refuse to help me save my primary residence. This is a self sustaining rental property, if I receive the Mortgage Modification. 

It is my belief that Wells Fargo is engaged in " Redlining '' for failure to assist me with my property, in XXXX, New Jersey, that I believe qualifies for at least XXXX of the many Federal Programs designed to help borrowers maintain the integrity of their neighborhoods as laid out by the Housing and Urban Development Agency. Therefore I seek your assistance with filing a complaint under Section 5 ( a ) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 45 ( a ), which prohibits " unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce ''. 

I look forward to hearing back from you in an expeditious manner.

Consumer complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/16, I received a call from a debt collector from a company called Municipal collections of America, I think. He called me to tell me that they were going to suspend my driver 's license for unpaid tickets. He said that we can file our XXXX ticket to the State of Illinois and suspend your drivers license. I informed the man that there are no tickets on my credit report. He said that we saw your disputes come thru from the major credit bureaus and we did n't dispute them. So I informed him that since you did n't validate the amounts or validate that I owed for those tickets, why are you trying to suspend my license? He said that he did n't want to hear anything other than if I was going to pay XXXX dollars. Then he could stop the process of suspending my license. I tried to ask the man why would you not validate the amounts and the accounts? He said that there is no time for all that, Am I going to pay the XXXX dollars? or do I want my license suspended? I said I am going to call XXXX to find out what is going on. He said, Im going to go forward with suspend your license. He hung up the phone.

Consumer complaint: Currently, I have a principal retirement payment taken out monthly in addition to my usual payment plus escrow. I want change this. In the middle of the holidays, I called the mortgagor, Santander, to make a change. They blocked access based on both the last XXXX digits of my SSN, and the whole SSN. The response was that it was incorrect. I know my SSN. They do too, as my tax forms ( XXXX, XXXX ) arrive at my address with the correct SSN. After that I tried to access a person and got cut off. I have run into this before with Santander. They obstruct for some reason ant interaction with their clients. 
When I tried to set up this accelerated payment, they resisted my efforts, until I filed a complaint with CFPB. Then they complied. It appears to me that the only way to deal with this bank is through your agency.

Consumer complaint: I have been a customer in good standing of Citibank , NA since XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX, I was laid-off. 
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I reviewed my Citi statement and found a charge from Payment Safeguard. On page XXXX and XXXX of the statement, Payment Safeguard Classic Activation was shown as ended. However on the same statement there are several notifications as well as charges, for an optional Debt Protection Product from Citi Payment Safeguard. The Citi Payment Safeguard website only provides general information on the debt protection product and no specifics on the Terms & Conditions for Payment Safeguard. The hyperlink to the Terms & Conditions did not work after several attempts on several different days at different times and has not since this review. Therefore, I have asked for a written copy of the Terms & Conditions to be forwarded to me by Citi Payment Safeguard directly. 
During the customer service call, I was advised that Payment Safeguard was still active and simply changed vendors in XXXX, but did not widely communicate this to its customers. Moreover, my benefit was still active. There were XXXX parts to the benefit I would be considered for. The customer service representative was more than happy to execute the XXXX time credit of {$200.00} immediately and the documents for the Job Loss Benefit for up to 24 months. The Job Loss Benefit for up to 24 months appears to be at issue. A copy of the Terms & Conditions were to be placed into the mail that day along with the Job Loss Benefits request documentation. 
To date, the written version of the Terms & Conditions that Citi Payment Safeguard expects to hold me accountable for has not been received. This information has been requested from each customer service representative during each benefit review status call update and in writing. Each time I confirmed that the customer service representative understood what was needed, each confirmed and agreed to forward ; this has been a total of 4 times. At this point, I do not believe the information will be forwarded and that it is policy not to do so. 
A lack of visibility to Citi Payment Safeguard 's written review process, specific Terms & Conditions, as well as the additional requests for " proof '' of job loss above and beyond documentation from that of a state, in my opinion, ( 1 ) is not the most efficient manner to process customer claims in light of online research techniques that are available, ( 2 ) gives the appears that the company may be stalling while the customer continues to pay for a benefit they are not receiving as well as ( 3 ) adds to the stress of the job loss situation. 
In addition, I was asked to submit a copy of severance information or a bank statement as proof of job loss. This is inappropriate for ANY reason from a third-party vendor to request from a customer. Particularly, when that third party vendor is doing so on behalf of Citibank. There does not appear to have been a change based on the service I 've received thus far from Citi Payment Safeguard to that of Payment Safeguard.
