Consumer complaint: Our mortgage was suddenly sold from XXXX to Greentree mortgage services XX/XX/2013. We were n't notified of this or any changes until after the barraging phone calls started when we were 1 week late on our mortgage payment. I had just been put out on XXXX from a XXXX, and was formerly the main wage earner for our family. My husband had just started a new lower paying job after not working in this bad economy for over 2 years. His pay was sustaining utilities and food only. I was involved in a workplace lawsuit, and was having a hard time getting any benefits or payments established. I communicated this to Greentrees representatives who were very angry and harassing. We were receiving phone calls up to ten times a day, with threats of jail, them sending the sheriff to just take our home, they threatened to attach wages and take money from our bank account. Their representatives were even bold enough to speak to, threaten and scare our children. They spoke with threats of taking everything we own away. It got so bad at one point a lady told me that they did not have to go through the legal processes, and did not have to notify us, that we 'd just be thrown on the street and homeless! My children are very scared, and now have severe panic attacks. At one point after a phone call from a nasty representative, I was rushed to XXXX and treated for XXXX ... ( XXXX ) I was advised by my doctor to send a cease and desist letter to stop them from calling. I sent one certified letter but still continued to call and question the ability to correct and mitigate my mortgage situation. I was told each and every time that my excuses were unacceptable, and we could n't be helped. We at one point received a mitigation relief package from them, filled it out, then months later received a letter stating that we were delinquent on making payment to mitigate our situation, and therefore unable to receive help, when we were never notified of any mitigation? I kept in contact, despite their threats. I received pre foreclosure letters, but never anything on how we could be helped. We considered bankruptcy, but were told for chapter XXXX, I needed to have a job. I went through several rigorous appeals with unemployment. I now recently picked up a part time job, and tried to notify Greentree again, and received a letter from DiTech. It 's not clear if they are our new mortgage service. They are asking me to honor our obligation, but now I found out that Greentree just settled a lawsuit for exactly the same issues and harrasments my family endured. I need your help to be included in that lawsuit. I 'm formally documenting our harassment by Greentree in this complaint, and would like to make sure we have no further problems with Greentree

Consumer complaint: SHERIFF SALE TODAY AT XXXX -Hi. I have been trying to work on a loan modification from Wells, Fargo. 
XXXX XXXX turned me down yesterday afternoon. He said he is investigating my complaints to you. He has not finished with the investigation and is still holding the sheriff sale on my home today.

In addition, I have received letters from XXXX XXXX acknowledging my inquiry. Every time I call her, I am told that she does not take calls - " she just writes letters ''. How can a XXXX representing Wells, Fargo Home Mortgage not take calls when she writes you a letter? 
Wells, Fargo put XXXX people on my account and each one does not know what the other XXXX said to me. This is not in compliance with the bank regulators. 
Please investigate. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Consumer complaint: I refinanced my home a couple of years ago. At that time Bank of America required that we use only there approved appraiser, XXXX. At that time, the appraisal came in significantly below true market value, unbelievably low. I believe this appraisal was not honest since it was not a slight difference but a large difference in appraised valve verses what similar houses were selling for in my neighborhood. Nonetheless, i already invested at cost of this appraisal so i went forward with the load and was subsequently obligated to pay mortgage insurance. 
None my house in even more, with out a doubt, than the 80 % LTV requirement. XXXX houses, my next door neighbor and XXXX houses down, have sold for greater than XXXX. These are the same models as mine and i have a better lot. I owe XXXX on my home. This obviously calculates out to a meet the 80 % LTV requirement. However, when i called BOFA and advised them of all this and asked them to reevaluate, then said they would review this and send me a letter. The letter states that my LTV is less than 80 % and that i would need to get an appraisal with their appraiser of choice to reevaluate. I am reluctant to use their appraisal service, since i am concerned of a conflict of interest between BOFA and XXXX. I feel like they are systematically manipulating this process. I do not feel that they are being honest. I would like someone to independently review this for me and for the public. If they are systematically doing this to me, they are likely doing this to many others. I feel this is wrong. Please help.

Consumer complaint: I have been on a repayment program with Wells Fargo since XXXX 2015. Set up my first payment of {$200000.00} on XXXX XXXX, then XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and then called today to set up a payment on XXXX XXXX. I was told by the representative that I was breaking the program rules by setting up the payment so late, I advised her I have been on this program since XXXX and this is the first time I have been told that. The account manager would talk over me and kept saying I needed to set it up on XX/XX/XXXX and that I just could n't call in when I felt like it and set up a payment. I asked them to escalate the call and finally set up a payment with XXXX and opened up a case with them advising her I am tired of everytime I call in the rules to this program seem to change.

Consumer complaint: Last month I owed a small amount on a Bank of America Credit Card because it is my alternate card and I do n't use it much. I was 3 days late paying, but I paid the amount charged in full. Bank of America charged {$1.00} late fee, which they credited it back to me after I called but they did not consider that a payment, even though that credit zeroed out my account the same day as my payment. This month, I accrued some charges on my card and the statement period closed yesterday, XXXX. Today I see that they charged me 1 % of the total amount I spent for CURRENT month and called it INTEREST CHARGED ON PURCHASES. I am filing this complaint because this is a new fee that Bank of America has implemented and I was unaware of it until I had to call to have the fee removed. After this incident, I went back to check previous statements and I see that they seem to have started XX/XX/XXXX and first appeared as a number of {$0.00} charges on my XXXX statement and each monthly statement thereafter. They were {$0.00} line items so I did n't think much about them. I have had this card since at least XX/XX/XXXX. I did not agree to any changes in my account. They refunded me the fees, but I believe this practice is deceptive and is probably generating a good amount of fees from people not paying as close attention to their statements.

Consumer complaint: Suntrust made a fraudulent transfer from one of our accounts to the other, leaving us with less than {$30.00} to survive. Here 's what happened. 
A few months back I lost my job while my husband was in the midst of looking for stable employment. We had XXXX accounts with Suntrust ; XXXX fell behind while we were trying to get back on our feet. We received correspondence from Suntrust letting us know the account was behind and by how much. We went into the branch to communicate our situation with Suntrust and to freeze that account, with the understanding we would make a payment arrangement. We also asked that the Overdraft Protection be removed from both accounts. 
We were assured that this would be sufficient to prevent any withdrawals or activity in the frozen account while we get back on our feet. Last week, we noticed a " transfer '' from the active account to the frozen one. This caused our account to be overdrawn and charged the {$36.00} fee ( which was NOT supposed to be charged since they were supposed to have removed the overdraft protection ). We immediately reported it as fraud. The XXXX was credited back. It seemed that all was well. 
This week, before paying a bill, I checked our active account, and there was less than {$30.00} in it. The entire balance had been transfered to the " frozen '' account without or knowledge or permission. 
I went to the branch to speak with the manager -- she profusely apologized and gave me the number for the credit department. It seemed that none of the efforts we had made to set up a payment arrangement had been documented by any of the agents we corresponded with. When I called the credit department, I was told there was nothing they could do. Meanwhile, our rent, and car payments are behind and in serious jeopardy. This could not have happened at the worst time. 
In short, I am reporting this because Suntrust seems to have gotten so " large '' that the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. There is no accountability.

They had me e-mail in a copy of my DL and a brief explanation and said it w/be taken off my credit report. I did, it was n't. So I called back a few months later the lady said she saw all the info/conversations that had taken place and did n't know why it was n't off my credit report. She had me send in everything I had previously sent in again. Here it is another couple of months it 's still on my credit report. They have admitted it should not be on there so why have n't they removed it? In fact, they reported it this month to a different agency.

The teller then accepted the check and did not inform him that they would hold the check availability until the XXXX of XXXX. They immediately withdrew the funds from his account and refused to allow me access to the funds so that I could pay my bills and see my doctors! I now have to make another appointment with my XXXX which will take at least 30 days before she can see me and cause me to run out of medication! If I run out of medication I could have XXXX! I have no one else to pay for my doctors visit or my medication. I ca n't even borrow the money from my boyfriend because Wells Fargo is holding all of his money. I can not believe it is legal to hold someone 's funds for 12 days! I am so tired of this banks illegal processes and their lack of customer service! They have caused me so much stress I almost went to the hospital today!

We saved it so we can prove we are getting these calls.

Consumer complaint: American Collection Service continues to contact me regarding medical debts that my wife owes. When trying to work with this company for a payment plan at an amount we can afford the company will refuse any offer other than their decided amount and begins to threaten the accounts have to be paid in full or they will release the account to their lawyers and sue me. Every time this threat is made they give me a 4 hour limit to provide them a final answer or they will move forward with a law suit, and they have made this threat over the past 3 months on the same accounts. These threat start happening near the end of each month. We had a previous account with this company that had been paid in full with the agreement to remove the collection from my credit report and the company did not follow through with their agreement claiming they did not have to because they received additional accounts for my wife while the original account was being paid off. The company has so far threatened to sue us for the full amount of XXXX accounts 3 separate times, threatened to garnish my wifes wages 3 separate times, and have refused all of our payment amount offers. I was once again contacted by this company today ( XXXX XXXX 2015 ) with a 4th threat of sending all the accounts to their lawyers to file suit on the debts. Additionally, the company name is American Collection Service but they are reporting to my credit report as XXXX which I feel is purposely misleading.

Consumer complaint: I obtained a loan to purchase a bedroom set from a local furniture company. I had the cash on me to make the purchase but the store owner told me that I could build my credit by financing the furniture. the total was a little over XXXX and I figured I could pay that off in no time while increasing my credit score. the furniture was financed through Duvera Billing. I have made my monthly payments on time which is XXXX and checked the account and was floored to find that I still owe the same amount after 5 months of payments. I called Duvera to get more information and was appalled when the representative told me that I have an interest rate of 96 %!!! Is that even legal?? I need help! Is there a way to legally get out of this contract without affecting my credit?

Consumer complaint: I took out a loan on XX/XX/XXXX, and made the 1st two payments on time. Since then I had to take XXXX Leave from my job to care for my spouse. I am no longer able to afford this loan, since I 'm currently not receiving pay. I have offered the Cash Store amount to settle but the agents are rude, and leave threatening messages on my phone.

Consumer complaint: I took out a loan with One Main Financial for {$7500.00} around XX/XX/XXXX and in XX/XX/XXXX, the company did a deferment payment without my consent. But, my main problem is the amount that they put towards the actual balance of the loan. My monthly payments are {$270.00} each month and from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, nothing from the amount I paid was applied to the balance. The first payment of {$92.00} was applied to the balance on XX/XX/XXXX. They did another deferment without my consent in XXXX. I was confused. On XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment of {$300.00} and nothing went toward the balance. On XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment of {$150.00} and nothing went toward the payment. In my opinion, this is criminal. I do understand that I was in need of financial assistance at the time and things were difficult but I have been paying this bill over a course of 2 years and I still have a balance of {$6300.00}. There is something that should be done to balance out. I do understand about interest and that the company has to make money but I find this to be unjust. This is taking advantange of people.

Consumer complaint: Experian ( a client of XXXX ) was hacked. Lacking the appropriate security measures, the hackers downloaded my address, social security number, drivers license, number and the like. The hackers have enough information to steal my identity. 

So what is Experian proposing to do? Offer 2 free years of THEIR credit/identiy monitoring service ( XXXX ). Really? I 'm supposed to trust the clowns that were just hacked with their identity and credit monitoring service? It makes more sense to offer an independent credit/identity monitoring service, such as XXXX.

Consumer complaint: I was the victim of identity theft and started the path to both block the fraudulent information and correct it by alerting the Credit reporting agencies. 
I followed the Credit reporting agencies requirements ( Police report, affidavit, outline of data the result of identity theft, Identification ) to make this happen and the Credit reporting agencies have not followed the law. Below is part of the copy of the letter I sent to them outlining my rights and their obligations under the law. 
Blocking Bad Credit Information from Credit ReportsThe law ( RCW 19.182.160 ) also provides a civil remedy for consumers. Under the law, a victim of identity theft can block any adverse credit reports resulting from the crime by filing the police report of the crime with the credit-reporting agency and supplying the agency with other proof of identification similar to those above. Provisions are made for denial and removal of the block in cases of fraud or error. The effect is that the victim 's credit record is restored to reflect only the victim 's true credit history. 
A copy of section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which requires you to block the fraudulent information on my credit report resulting from identity theft within four business days and to promptly notify the furnisher ( s ) of that information. Please block this information from my credit report, pursuant to section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and send the required notice to all businesses that supplied this information. 
The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires you to block the fraudulent information on my credit report resulting from identity theft within four business days and to promptly notify the business that sent you that information.
