Consumer complaint: I purchased a mobile home in XXXX. Made every payment, never late, and in XXXX paid it off. Green Tree claimed I owed for insurance they had placed on the home previously. I kept homeowners insurance on the property the entire time, for the value of the home as per the contract. Green Tree said I had to have insurance to cover the loan amount, but the contract did not say that. I refused to pay, and later that year they repossessed the home. I contacted Green Tree and requested to know how much they sold the home for, and they refused to provide any information. This was the last contact I had with Green Tree. In XXXX, I found out Green Tree had contacted my father. In XXXX I was XXXX XXXX XXXX with limited credit, so my father co-signed for the note. My father had his own loan with Green Tree, and I found out they contacted my father demanding payment of {$1500.00}. or they would call his current note due. My father paid {$1500.00}. to settle the claim without my knowledge. 
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I received a XXXX from Green Tree, now doing business as DITECH Financial, claiming they discharged {$5700.00} of debt I owed. I contacted them at the number listed on the form. 
The automated system requested my account number, so I provided the one on the XXXX. It said the number does not match any acct. 
It then asked for my SS #, which I provided. It said No Acct exist for this number. Finally I spoke with a representative. She could not provide any information other than to say I must have owed money sometime a long time ago on a mobile home. I claimed I owed nothing a and requested that she verify the debt, and she said those records do n't exist any more. I told her that was n't acceptable, that I did not owe anything to Green Tree, and unless she can provide me proof I wanted this XXXX corrected. She told me I must have owed money from a long time ago, and they decided to write it off on XXXX, so she refused to do anything. Once again I requested some proof I owed Green Tree anything, to which I was told the account and those records do n't exist anymore. 
How can a company, without proof or documentation randomly place an XXXX burden on me with a XXXX for any amount they make up? I 'm guessing Green Tree does this, and then claims the deduction on their Federal Taxes, so would n't this be Tax Fraud? Even though they have n't tried collecting this amount from me, by filing the XXXX they have placed the debt on me unfairly, causing me to now owe the XXXX portion of this undocumented debt. 
I think Green Tree is guilty of criminal activity, and ask that a formal investigation be undertaken.

Consumer complaint: on XX/XX/XXXX, someone other than me applied for an unsecured credit card from XXXX and was denied. 
I received the denial notice around XX/XX/XXXX and immediately called XXXX and was connected with their Fraud Department. XXXX at XXXX informed me that they would file an Initial Fraud Alert with the XXXX Credit Reporting Agencies. She was a big help and informed me of the steps that needed to be taken to investigate other possible Identity theft and Credit misuse. She also informed me that due to the fraudulent application using my personal information and the fraud alert placed on my Credit Reports that I was entitled to a free copy of my Credit Files from XXXX, TransUnion and XXXX. 
The process in getting those reports is less than stellar and I can not get any automated telephone process to go through nor can I get my file via ANY of their websites! They all want me to pay XXXX or XXXX dollars or can not verify the information that I present during the Identity Verification steps at their site. 
MY COMPLAINT : None of the Credit Reporting Agencies have telephone numbers that will connect you with a live agent! All of the Numbers are for the automated report ordering system and they have all asked for credit cards and wanted to bill me with no option to speak with a live agent. 
My fear is that whoever applied for that card has intercepted the process and without a live agent to speak with, I can not confirm this. 
Also, one of the reporting agencies asked questions about auto-loans I supposedly took out XX/XX/XXXX, asking which of XXXX possible Creditors and XXXX possible monthly payment amounts AND an Installment Account, again with XXXX choices of Creditors and XXXX possible payment amounts! This has me very afraid as I have not taken neither an auto loan or an installment/Finance account since XX/XX/XXXX! 
I need to resolve this and speak to a REAL PERSON! 
I am trying to rebuild my credit and it seems to me that the reporting agencies just do not care. I am totally frustrated as this is just bad customer service in an industry that is supposedly providing services that include sensitive information that dictates the consumer 's quality of life in this age of instant credit! 
XXXX, TRANSUNION and XXXX : Your processes are not user friendly nor are they customer focused and you do not have anything that resembles Customer Service for the consumer 's affected by all the Credit Fraud and Identity Theft that is running rampant in today 's financial industry. XXXX 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX

Consumer complaint: My credit card was canceled and all my XXXX points got forfeited. I earned the points through more than 3 years business with CitiBank and I was saving them for my next family vacation.

Consumer complaint: My mortgage company is refusing to remove my PMI insurance even though I meet the XXXX rule. I received a new Appraisal on my home and the new ratio is 77 % on the loan balance. The ratio is 79 % on the original loan amount. I have tried numerous times to get this removed and am getting the runaround. My last call they told me it had to be 75 % which I have never heard before and they can not show me where it states this. In my loan paperwork it states 80 %. No one is returning my calls and customer service claims they cant help me - the Escrow Dept only can, yet they do not have any direct way to get in touch with them. Someone is supposed to call me back and no one is - I 'm at a dead end. 

Company response: Company believes it acted appropriately as authorized by contract or law
Consumer complaint: They call my number over and over. There is never a person on the line when we answer, just an automated system advising of a collection, and to call an XXXX number. A person should not have to call a collection company to inform them they have the wrong number. This seems like harassment. Most people in collections, which I am not, will not call a number back. 

Company response: Company can't verify or dispute the facts in the complaint
Consumer complaint: An item from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is being reported on my Experian report, I 've had it removed from XXXX and XXXX, I 've filed several disputes with Experian and they still wo n't remove the item, which is n't mine, it 's causing stress and XXXX XXXX XXXX. It 's messing up my score and it is n't fair to continue to report something that is n't mine and has been removed from XXXX out of XXXX major credit bureaus.

Consumer complaint: I was surprised to see a foreign transaction fee on my credit card statement as I had no foreign transactions that I knew about. I called FIA Card Services and was told XXXX of my transactions, through the XXXX, had been processed thorough a foreign bank. 
I called XXXX and was told that, yes, XXXX transaction out of my several purchases with them that day had been processed through a foreign bank. Others had been through domestic banks even though at least XXXX other was from a foreign vendor. The representative said he was surprised I had been charged a fee, but that it was my credit card company that had made that determination in error, not XXXX. 
I have bought and sold hundreds of books through XXXX and never once ( before this ) seen a foreign transaction fee. Oddly, he reimbursed the fee while saying the issue was with the credit card company. 
I called FIA Services again to see why the error had been made. The representative said XXXX had coded this as a foreign transaction from a foreign vendor, that they had not made any error. Then she also reimbursed the fee even though I said I was not asking for reimbursement, only to understand how to avoid foreign fees in the future when there was no process of notification that a foreign transaction fee would be assessed. She indicated there was no way to know. 
So my questions are these : Is anyone supposed to notify me that a foreign transaction fee is possible when buying from third-party vendors? How is it I can be charged a 3 % fee with no prior notification? Why is that my cost of business, not theirs? It seems to me XXXX has an obligation to inform me of an impending foreign transaction fee before the fact, not after the fact. Could you please explain how one is to manage this aspect of on-line business? Just what are the regulations pertaining to this? 
Thank you. 
XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint: CREDCO supplied a tri-merged joint credit report with a company that I thought was a legal company on the day that it happened. The credit report was for myself and my husband. When I became suspicious because of other things that did n't seem right, I learned that the mortgage company has had an expired license since 2009. Then I asked the licensed real estate agent who did the paperwork in the licensed real estate broker office. I asked the agent why the mortgage company is unlicensed. He said it is because the company was his and that he closed it in 2009 but that he kept the account with CREDCO so that he could run reports on people. CREDCO has not responded to my email about it. It seems to me that CREDCO should know whether or not its customers are even in business, especially after 7 years of being closed. CREDCO has a duty to protect sensitive financial information from thieves. There was no way for me to know ahead of time that I was dealing with an unlicensed mortgage company. Beyond that, because I was in a licensed office with a licensed agent, it NEVER occurred to me that I would be victimized like this. That 's wrong. Very wrong. It is CREDCO 's fault for not knowing that their customer has been out of business for 7 years. Now we are open to identity theft. I have a copy of the CREDCO report issued to XXXX XXXX MORTGAGE.

Consumer complaint: On XXXX XXXX 2016 a check was sent to Macy 's Credit Card to pay of the entire balance. The check was deposited into Macy 's Citibank account on XXXX XXXX ; however, the payment was not applied to my account and as a result I was charged a late penalty + newly accrued interest when the billing cycle reset. I 've called them multiple times and Macy 's customer service told me they have no record of my payment. They then instructed me to fax in proof. I sent them a copy of the statement I was paying off in full as well as the XXXX check image provided to me by my credit union. To date my account still does not show this payment as being applied. I was told that they do n't have a way of finding out who 's account my payment was applied to - I do n't buy that one second!

Consumer complaint: ServiSolutions is my servicer. They paid taxes of {$3300.00} on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for parcel # XXXX. My tax bill for XX/XX/XXXX was {$590.00} and my property parcel # is XXXX. This error created a negative balance in my escrow account. I received my statement and contacted them in XXXX XXXX to correct the error. It was not corrected until XXXX XXXX, XXXX when they paid {$650.00} on the proper tax parcel. This payment came out of my escrow account and included a {$45.00} penalty for late payment and {$23.00} interest charge on late payment. 
They did an escrow analysis at the beginning of this year and determined I owed a lot of money for the negative escrow balance which was inappropriately withdrawn. The escrow payment has gone up to {$490.00} a month from {$110.00} a month in order to fund the inappropriate disbursements. 
I have contacted them multiple times to fix the escrow account and my payment. They are telling me they will not credit my escrow for the amounts they fraudulently disbursed but are waiting for the county to refund them the first tax payment. Until then, they will not adjust my payment to the appropriate amount and will not accept any payment other than one that includes funds to cover the negative escrow.

Consumer complaint: For over a year now, I have worked diligently and relentlessly ( with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage ( WFHM ) ) to purchase an estate property ( via short sale ; the owner had a reverse mortgage ) - all to no avail. WFHM 's procrastination and misdealings ( conveniently for them ) caused several appraisals to expire ( the first of which I submitted, in a timely manner, all of the requested documents and a deposit/earnest money ), only to have WFHM do XXXX additional appraisals ( with significant price increases - specifically, WFHM 's last appraisal is $ XXXX higher than their initial appraisal ). To make matters worse, WFHM did not send my initial dispute ( appraisal ) to HUD ; and ( although WFHM said I could submit the outside appraisals and market analysis/comparable report ), WFHM is not really considering the XXXX outside appraisals and the comparable report submitted ( for the disputes ). I have reached out to several WFHM employees ( from Home Preservation Specialists to the CEO ) and continue to get the runaround and/or conflicting info. I have done everything requested ( by WFHM ) ; now, time is long overdue for WFHM to conduct themselves ethically, efficiently, and professionally ( to process the short sale ). In the interim, while this longstanding snafu is being " worked '', I am very concerned that the property will be foreclosed on XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Consumer complaint: Citibank decided on their own not to send me more paper statements apparently because they received a returned letter from USPS. I have not moved in more than 5 years, so I dont know why that happend. Problem is Citibank didnt notify me by email, or phone, so there was no way for me to know that. In the meantime, I was being bled with abusive fees that I was not aware for almost a year.

Consumer complaint: I applied for an Ally Bank online savings account on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and transferred, via ACH, {$1000.00}. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I logged on and the screen informed me the account was blocked. I called and was assigned Loss Prevention Specialist XXXX XXXX XXXX.

I am not planning on making any foreign trips, nor even getting on an airplane for a while. My XXXX make getting my drivers license problematic for the foreseeable future. 
I was informed that the passport was not acceptable since it had expired and I had to provide a " state '' photo id. I asked for an alternative, such as providing a notarized affidavit or something similar. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, late in the evening, XXXX XXXX told me I could not get my opening deposit back either. I specifically asked for the opening deposit to be sent back the way it came. I am sure the transaction shows the routing & accounting numbers of my account at XXXX. She said that was not going to happen. She asked if I wanted to speak with her supervisor. 
XXXX XXXX called on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and left a message for me to call her. I called her back the next day and left a message as XXXX XXXX works an XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX shift. I asked for our communication to be via email or USPS mail going forward so there would be a documentation trail. I also mentioned that I would like for someone to handle this matter for me and asked where I send a power of attorney or how to handle designating a proxy for me. XXXX XXXX left another message for me to call her on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
I mailed a complaint letter to the CEO, XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I have not heard anything as a result, nor do I expect to. I have since taken the opportunity to read the complaints about Ally online and regret not doing my homework beforehand.
