Consumer complaint: Last fall I sought assistance from Bank of America regarding mortgage modification.After there represenatives did not allow me to speak with a modification specialist until they insisted I make payment arrangements on my past due account.Which is documented.Then without discussion came the most ludicrous offer of modified terms that sole aim was to place borrower in a note that only sought to lower payments by extending out the term and place a useristic above average intrest rate which inundated and buried the borrower in intrest payments and did not provide a realistic scenario for aggressive principle paydown.If bank of America is calling this assistance to homeowners its is aggregious!! /It is counter productive to long term homeowner preservation.I was told by XXXX I better take it, if you do n't Bank of America will foreclose.i said no and appealed they offered me another modification over the winter that was better but they told mne they would not offer another.i stated I will sign but only in anticipation of my wife receiving social security benefits which she did not. I made one payment and realized this can not be sustained long term.negotiations before and since have been contentious.i am a sole wage earner and a XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) FOR OVER XXXX YEARS.Standard XXXX XXXX modification modelswork off gross pay .I have a unique payroll situation where I have significant mandatory deductions.For instance 11 % per pay for retirement including hefty health ins premium, union dues, etc.i come home with half my gross pay.

Consumer complaint: Yes, My father banked with Pentagon Federal Credit Union. At the credit union he had several accounts XXXX money market certificate accounts, credit card and a share account. My father passed away XXXX XXXX, 2015. His estate is currently in probate and I 'm the executor of the estate. Pentagon Federal Credit Union will not close the accounts at the bank due to the fact my father had a balance on a credit card statement. Also the accounts are payable on death accounts with a beneficiary. They stated my father signed a credit card agreement stating they have the right to take money from other accounts to pay the debt. When my father passed away in XXXX the account was in good standing, it was not in default. I told them that they could place a claim against the estate and the estate would be responsible for paying the debt. I 've attached a copy of the credit card signature card and the membership disclosure. My question are listed below:1. Does the passing of an individual automatically make any debt by that individual in default? The debt in question is credit card debt. 
2. Does the credit union have a right to leave an account opened after requesting that it be closed after a persons death so they can make monthly withdrawals from the account ( s ) to pay on credit card debt?

Consumer complaint: A few weeks ago, I signed up for the Citi ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX Signature ( R ) Card. I got the card and notice, my signup bonus is XXXX points. I call Citi and say, how come I 'm not getting a XXXX bonus? The guy says I signed up with a XXXX link. I ask if there 's anything I can do to amend this. 
He says I have to close the account and reopen. This is fishy to me because then I would be ineligible, as I received an offer within the last 18 months when I signed up the first time. He assures me I will get the new bonus, I just have to do that. So I close it with him. 
A week later I apply again, this time making sure it 's a XXXX offer. I sign up and get the card, but I 'm then told I 'm not eligible because of exactly what I feared, I already signed up for a bonus when I applied the first time. I call Citi and they explain why I 'm ineligible. She transfers me to customer service. They understand what I 'm saying and after a long hold, say, " We 'll get you the right bonus but you have to re-open the account you closed. '' OK. 
I ask multiple times, " The bonus I 'm now eligible for is XXXX, right? " Yes, yes and yes. He says to not worry about the XXXX account I opened, he 'll take care of it. Well today I get a letter in the mail, " Thank you for re-opening your account, your card will arrive shortly. '' An hour later, I get an email I was " approved '' for the XXXX account. 
I have called back numerous times since then checking on the status of my account. Every single time, I get a different answer from a different person. I have been deceived by Citi and they continually do not honor the things they tell me. 
Now they tell me I have XXXX accounts and I can not receive a bonus offer on either XXXX of them. I am extremely dissatisfied and feel lied to.

Consumer complaint: Year XX/XX/XXXX I paid through online bill pay directly from my XXXX Bank acct a mortgage payment to Wells Fargo. This was paid on time and on auto pay. Within few days of receiving the payment Wells Fargo sent the payment back to XXXX without my knowledge. A few months after that Wells Fargo started reporting me past due to my credit report and charging me penalties and interest. 

XXXX I worked on trying to get this issues resolved on my own. I had no issue returning the payment again to Wells Fargo and would have done so but they would not remove the fees and the payment would still be considered past due because fees would have been taken from the payment before being applied to mortgage. 

XXXX Attorney XXXX XXXX wrote letters to Wells Fargo on my behalf trying to resolve this issue. During this time wells Fargo requested COPIES of two checks from XXXX Bank that they believed was where issues started. These were provided. But they still would not clear my credit AS IF NO PROBLEM ever existed. 

XXXX Attorney XXXX XXXX XXXX had extensive written correspondences with Wells Fargo trying to resolve this issue. Through XXXX XXXX XXXX office both Arkansas XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and Arkansas XXXX XXXX XXXX wrote letters to Wells Fago on my behalf. 

XX/XX/XXXX I met with a Wells Fargo Representative at a local office in XXXX XXXX Arkansas and this representative of Wells Fargo pecifically called Wells Fargo main mortgage office to see what needed to be paid in order to stop the bleed on my credit while this was being looked into by the state congressmen. I also was assigned a direct Wells Fargo representative at that time by the name of XXXX XXXX. 

BOTH XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX were involved in campaigns and elections during this time. However XXXX their offices wrote letters AND sent documents provided such as my bank statements and letters showing the routing numbers between XXXX Bank and Wells Fargo. It was requested for a copy of the CHECK in question to be provided showing proof to Wells Fargo from XXXX Bank. XXXX Bank responded that they could provide certified bank statements and routing numbers but that their system was updated and they could not provide the actual check copy. 

Wells Fargo refuses the XXXX Bank letters and certifications and my personal bank statements as proof that THIS PAYMENT was indeed paid on time and properly. I have a specific representative of XXXX Bank local main bank in XXXX Arkansas. 

This has greatly affected my ability to refinance my property of which I have over XXXX equity. I have above XXXX credit score even with the bad Mark of over 40 month rolling past due Mark on my credit by Wells Fargo. This bad MORTGAGE MARK on credit has harmed me in a huge financial way. I have disputed this with the credit bureaus as well. I have a lot of documentation along this journey.

Consumer complaint: The mortgage lender for our home loan is Bank of America. We moved into our home in XXXX and in XXXX I lost my job and we began trying to work unsucessfully with BOA and are still being challenged with trusting, getting support, and responsiveness with BOA. They are giving us the run around, denied assistance, provided minimal assistance that was n't helpful and then simply are unresponsive in our modification process now. This has been going on since XXXX. 
1. We were denied assistance in XXXX because my spouse holds the loan but I lost my job. BOA told us they couldnt help us repeadedly. Our household income was reduced by XXXX. In XXXX I was underemployed working part time for approx XXXX a year and we requested assistance. We were approved for a trial modification reducing mortgage for {$180.00} a month. We could n't accept because we could n't even afford the reduced amount. We paid XXXX mortgage payments instead, rejected the modification, and tried to borrow $ from family and when work bonuses were received we tried to catch up. 
3. We continued to struggle, I was re-employed full time making 30 % less than the career I had before, were still struggling, went into forclosure in XXXX, took XXXX dispursements to get out, and we are still struggling. 
4. XXXX we have enormous debt, we cant catch up, we have sold all stocks to reduce the debt, we have high expenses, over XXXX in medical bill debt. We began the modification process in XXXX XXXX and as of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX we are still in it and ca n't get this process moving. We have been given the runaround, the process does n't tell you what additional information you need to send, they send the same letter over and over again without specific info on what they need just the boiler plate list of required documents, they do n't communicate with you, respond to emails or call back, meetings scheduled have been no shows on part of BOA, and the phone numbers they provide on their website do n't work. We have lost trust that we will get help and although we are paying or mortgage. we have bills that ca n't be paid ont he other side like car payments, daycare, etc. We have complied with everything they have asked and then some. This process needs an overhaul. HAMPT is meant to help homeowners not give then the run around. I 'm sure there are others in this same class that could come forward to validate these complaints. Its terrible.

Consumer complaint: XXXX I faxed my " Loss Mitigation " Paper work to the XXXX AZ office. I called the phone number on the loss mitigation papers { which was completely different than XXXX Number } later that day to see if they received it and I was redirected to XXXX XXXX She told me it looked like they got some of the papers I sent. Then quickly changed the conversation to needing a payment I explained that I was calling just to confirm that my papers were received and that my husband would be calling in with the payment information. She yelled at me and said my husband and I need to get things straight. She said you have to answer to payments and continued to scold me on how I purchased a home knowing that I could n't afford it. She put me on hold and sent me to another representatives which would n't give me any information regarding my paperwork sent. She continued to harass me for payment. I felt like I was being " BULLIED " by these XXXX Green Tree Associates!! I had to hang up because I was brought to tears and for the first time I felt hopeless. I was scared that this new provider was out to take my home. We just recently got sold to Green Tree. Our last mortgage company was XXXX XXXX XXXX. Green Tree has no soul.. I 've never been subject to such brutal tactics. XXXX I called the loss mitigation number and XXXX XXXX Answered and again she would n't tell me what was missing from my submission of paperwork before she told me I had to make a payment. I told her she was wrong for treating me this way and that I 'm trying to get help so I could make my payments on time. She told me that she was sending me to her manager. XXXX is her name and she was completely understanding and told me what was missing and listened to my concerns and lastly before we hung up she reminded me of payment and I was cooperatives with confirming a confirmation on calling on Monday to schedule a date for payment. I know they are changing to XXXX in the coming months. I hope that they clean out the Rude and unprofessional associates XXXX.

Consumer complaint: I am putting another complaint on Experian because once again they continue to find ways to deny removal of the Federal Tax Lien they are reporting in which they got there information off of XXXX. I have confirmation from XXXX XXXX that the federal tax lien was removed from my risk file. I provided Experian the response from CFPB complaint XXXX from XXXX XXXX giving confirmation that the information was removed from my risk file with them. I have provided Experian with the police report filed, the form XXXX that I filed with the IRS, the response from IRS with receipt of my XXXX form, I provided them the response from XXXX showing the removal from where they originally obtained there information. With all of these supporting documents that uphold mt claim they continue to report and claim to verify this Tax Lien that is not suppose to be on my file. I am going to attach once again all the documents that I have supplied to Experian that only shows there unwillingness to help in the removal of fraudulent information that is on my file. They have provided only excuses and no clear answers. I am now requesting from them what vendor they are using to verify this tax lien. What is the steps and methods they are using in doing a legal full and accurate investigation. I am not asking for a generic template letter from them on how they do investigations. I want a specific list of steps that they took, including but not limited to the dates they contacted their vendor, the name of the vendor used and what was the steps. I would like to know if a website was used in trying to verify these tax lien and what is the address of the website. I have contacted the XXXX County Courthouse and I know it is not them providing the information so I do not want Experian to illegally tell me to contact the source when the court house was not the source used to verify the accuracy of the information. I also requested for Experian to remove the Fraud Alert from my file and provided identity verification documents for the removal of the fraud alert and yet it is still reporting on my file.

Consumer complaint: Since XXXX/XXXX/2015 I have attempted to pull my Experian credit report to no avail. When I go to XXXX to pull a copy of my credit file, I recieve a message stating that I have already obtained my credit report within the allowed time and directs me to experian.com. The prompts direct me to buy my FICO score and credit report. I bought the seven day plan for {$1.00}. This is not the type of report I am looking for. I have a few problems here : 1. ) I do not want to buy my FICO score, I only want my credit file. 2. ) The format is not consumer friendly ( i.e. everything is in boxes and will not provide the payment history with dates e.g. date of last payment & date of first delinquency ). Without this information how am I to understand what needs improvement. 3. ) When I call their number ( XXXX ) and explain what it is that I need ... I am told that " I need to call Experian the credit reporting agency '' because I am speaking to Experian online Direct and they are not the same company. They have no way of providing me with my " credit file ''. According to the last rep I spoke to a regular credit report is called a " credit file ''.

Consumer complaint: This company provided false cancellation information when I agreed to purchase the product. Within the next business day, I requested to cancel the service/product and was told I could not. Unfortunately, i was unable to make payment after a year or so due to unforeseen circumstances. Since the original amount, this company has charged over 200 % in interest. This year alone, XXXX has been added to the balance. This company has been charging {$200.00} a month interest. i told this company I was not happy with this product and they could pick it up years ago. They are now charging XXXX for a product that is no where worth that amount. This is a UDAAP violation and is being reported on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX reports. This is also a FCRA violation as it is out of statue and should 've been removed. A letter was received years ago that a lien would be placed on my house for non-payment. This amount is ridiculously over charged.

Consumer complaint: What happened is that I submitted a loan modification to my lender Crown Mortgage Company my account # is XXXX there phone number XXXX back on XXXX/XXXX/2015 I provided all the documents necessary that Crown asked for a proper review. Last document that the lender asked for was a water bill that I faxed over on XXXX/XXXX/2015 for them to have a complete package to submit to underwriting to review. I then receive a denial letter on XXXX/XXXX/2015 that was dated XXXX/XXXX/2015. From what I was told from numerous attorneys is that when the lender has your file complete it takes a minimum of a week to properly review a file check with FHA guidelines escrow analysis and what not. There was no way that Crown could decision my loan modification in 1 day. Crown said that the loan modification was rendered unaffordable do to my finances which as they have calculated is a lot less then what I submitted to Crown mortgage.
