Consumer complaint: I have been having several difficulties since our mortgage was transferred from XXXX, then GreenTree Mortgage and now Ditech mortgage company. Since the transfer, my husband and I have noticed that our monthly payments are not being applied correctly and the mortgage company and we feel like we are being scammed. We pay additional money each month where we request that the additional amount be applied towards the principal and escrow. The mortgage company does not supply payment books that allows us to pay extra towards the principal and escrow. When we spoke to them about our issue, they spoke to us in a condescending manner and tried to make us appear stupid. We were told that they could not provide us with a payment booklet that would allow us to show how much of our additional payment should be applied to principal and escrow. In fact, we were advised to write it out on our payment statement and then we have to call each month to inform them how to apply it even after we had written it out. My husband and I are both elderly and I 'm in a XXXX. We feel that this mortgage company has made it very difficult for us and have taken our additional payments. When we receive our monthly statements, we notice that our additional payments are not being applied. Where has our additional payments gone? We are elderly but we will not sit back and be taken advantage of by this mortgage company. When our mortgage was transferred to GreenTree, we never received a check for the extra funds that we had paid into the escrow account after our taxes and insurance was paid. Where are those funds?

Consumer complaint: There 's a chicken-and-egg problem with setting up long-term fraud alerts on my accounts. It is impossible to put a long-term fraud alert on an account without also supplying a law enforcement evidence of a problem. 

The problem is that there is n't a problem *yet*. There 's a poster on the door of my post office that says mail was stolen from there. There 's a notification from XXXX and XXXX XXXX and others that say that my information has been stolen. Yet that 's still not enough to lock down my credit accounts? I have to wait until my life has been wrecked to put some security around my credit accounts? 

That does n't seem right. 

I have to pay {$30.00} to the credit monitoring companies to freeze my accounts ... but the companies get hacked are n't selling security freezes ... they 're selling worthless credit monitoring services, instead. In **ANY** case, the credit reporting agencies are benefiting. 

This does n't seem right. 

Especially when, in the latest hack, it was the credit agency themselves that lost my data.

Consumer complaint: In XXXX 2015 we contacted bank of America and told them we wanted to due a deed in lieu, because we could not afford the house. We were not behind in payments, but wanted to due the right thing. We went through all the steps filling out all paper work. Bank of America put a lock on the house the end of XXXX 2015 and we signed deed in Lieu paper on XXXX. When XXXX country notified me that the house lawn was not mowed, I contacted BOA, at that time I was told the deed in Lieu was not approved. I said you have locked us out of this house and did n't contact us that it was n't approved. They had sent a letter to the empty house, when they had know we had not lived there in four years. All monthly statements were sent to new house, plus in the process all letters, but this one had the correct address on it. They are now telling me that they are going through the foreclosure process, I feel it is to claim more money then we owe. We gave then a clean house with a new heating & air new floors. I have attached the appraisal done by BOA. They told me XXXX/XXXX/2015 that they are starting negative credit reporting. 
I would like BOA To remove all late payments after XXXX/XXXX/2015 and to complete the deed in lieu.

Consumer complaint: I have been an ongoing customer in good standing with Citibank for more than 7 years and their services had always been great! In 2004, I paid off all of my debt. I held on to my Citicard in case of an emergency, but I had no intentions of using it right away because of the high APR ; However, I received credit checks from Citibank offering me a lower APR. I used one of the checks to make a purchase during the XXXX season unaware that Citibank had decreased my line of credit without ever notifying me beforehand. As a result of this unbeknowst credit decrease, I was plunged into a horrifying court case where I was forced to plead guilty to fradulent check writing. I had to pay {$200.00}, to prevent incarseration. Once I paid the unexpected court cost and the fradulent check charge. I believed that this situation was finally behind me, but to my surprise after attempting employment and housing, I was shocked to learn that this bad check charge had kept me from being hired and achieving stable housing for me and my family year after year. At this point I realized that I had been done unjustly by Citibank because my payments were on time and up-to-date. They sent the low APR credit checks for me to use in any way, as long my line of credit was enough to cover the amount of the check that was written. My line of credit was {$3400.00} and my available line of credit was {$1200.00} which was more than enough to cover the amount of the check at {$130.00}. Even to this day when I am applying for employment, my background check comes back as a reason why I am denied employment.

Consumer complaint: ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO, I contacted a camp ground membership and asked how to end my membership ; I followed their instructions and was told that my membership was terminated. I did n't expect any problems and accepted their word for it. 

About 5 years later, this collection company started calling me numerous times a day, every day. I told them I do not owe this debt. They have persisted for a number of years. 

Recently, NEARLY 10 YEARS LATER ( AFTER STATUE OF LIMITATIONS HAVE EXPIRED ) they had it put on my credit report ( in 2015 ). 

It is not a legitimate debt! 
The statute of limitations expired years ago! 
And it was illegal for them to attach it to my credit!

Consumer complaint: None of the above problems describes by issue. I have a charged off debt owned by a company called CACH LLC. In XXXX 2015, I was contacted by Fresh View Solutions about a payment arrangement. I agreed to pay XXXX per month on the XXXX for six months. After that, we would renegotiate a new payment amount. The amount of the payment is not in dispute. My ex-wife, at the request of the XXXX, needs a copy of the original payment agreement arrangement and Fresh View refuses to furnish this information after numerous requests. They have provided a payment history and a letter stating that the payments were made in accordance with the agreement but this will not satisfy the XXXX. They require the actual payment terms ( amount, due date, etc. ), which Fresh View will not provide. They state that they mailed a copy at the beginning of the payment arrangement, but I have no copy of it and they will not provide another one.

Consumer complaint: I bought a new computer and left for XXXX shortly after. While in XXXX, I tried to go online and pay my LL Bean Visa bill and, because it was a new computer, I had to enter a lot of information - which the system told me was wrong and I had to call Security. I did not have my card with me and could n't provide all of the information request. I had to wait until I got home. I called Barclay Card and after XXXX attempts and speaking with XXXX different people I asked where they got their information ( former addresses, formerly owned vehicles etc. ) and I was told that they outsource to a vendor to produce information drawn from my social security number and public records. I told them their records are wrong and demanded to know the name of the vendor. They refused to give me that information. There is information out there linking my social security number to someone else and this company refuses to even give me the name of the company they paid for this ( bogus ) information??? This is unacceptable. I need to get to the source of this misinformation.

Consumer complaint: I believe BB & T is intentionally reordering transactions to cause overdrafts. Let me explain ; We were customers of The XXXX for 5-6 years and we never had problems with our account, but recently they were bought out by BB & T. Since the bank switched to BB & T on XX/XX/XXXX we 've had nothing but problems with both the level of customer service and OUR ACCOUNT in general. We have a business banking account and a personal account and both have been hit with fees totaling over {$600.00} since XX/XX/XXXX. This is after not having any overdrafts the previous XXXX years. The way they 've brought transactions through reminds me of XXXX XXXX XXXX, 6-7 years ago when they were reordering transactions from highest to lowest because they knew they would generate more fees. BB & T is doing the same thing to consumer, now, and they need to punished. I would print off my overdrafts to show you, but I think BB & T charges me for that service too. I would highly recommend you investigate BB & T as word is spreading quickly around XXXX Kentucky- other banks are getting new customers as people close their accounts at BB & T . We 've heard from a handful of different people complaining about the same thing and our credit union has even told us they 're hearing a lot of negative things going on with BB & T. Please do n't hesitate to contact me if you need me to provide more info. My email is XXXXXXXXXXXX and my phone number is ( XXXX ) XXXX

After twenty minutes of conversation I had made my mind to go with Loan Depot for my loan. He said he could do this entire process over the phone, I agreed and I provided all the information he requested. I had asked him if that 's the best pricing he could do. And he said everything I tell you is recorded, and if I get a better price, Loan Depot would match it and give me {$500.00} as credit on closing the loan. That evening I met with the sellers agent and provided a deposit of {$3000.00} and signed the sale agreement.

Consumer complaint: I have applied for a Home Equity Line of Credit ( HELOC ) from Citibank.. I submitted the application in XX/XX/XXXX ; it took until XX/XX/XXXX to initially be approved. It took five monthsbecause my XXXX had a mechanic 's lien attached to our deed and Citibank dragged their feeton identifying this as the cause. The coop kept on stalling and finally admitted that the did not pay the {$55.00}. filing file to prove satisfaction of the lien. Citibank paid the {$55.00} and anticipated at closing I would pay them back and the XXXX would then reimburse me. 

I am XXXX. When I filed initially, I was making $ XXXX/year. Then that job ended, I took another job paying $ XXXX/year. By the time the lien was satisfied, my XXXX job ended and I then was working XXXX job making around $ XXXX/week. 

Since the process dragged on, Citibank asked me and my wife to resubmit our pay stubs. 
At the point we resubmitted, since my income had dropped, Citibank changed the acceptance to a rejection. 

About three weeks ago, I secured a full time job paying $ XXXX/year. We again submitted our pay stubs and we were asked again many questions. At this point, we are now at 9 months since filing the original HELOC application and, in my most recent conversation withCitibank, I was told to have patience. I indicated my patience has worn out. Since I had been underemployed and my son started College, I borrowed funds from my IRA in anticipation of securing the HELOC. I am quickly approaching the 60 days and the penalty period forrepayment of these funds is quickly approaching. 

In my opinion, I think this process should never had dragged out so long. If we had closedby XX/XX/XXXX ( which I think is reasonable ), I would still be at my $ XXXX/year job and we would not be discussing any issues of not having a high enough income.
