Company: AMERICAN ADVISORS GROUP
State: IN
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Reverse mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
A payoff for a reverse mortgage with AAG was requested and received for XX/XX/2020. Due to some problems with the financing company the the closing had to be postponed until XX/XX/2020. A request was made on XX/XX/2020 at XXXX XXXX by the title company for a revised payoff. The AAG said it would take five to 10 days to respond to the request. Since the the closing was scheduled for XX/XX/2020 this was not acceptable. Numerous call were made to the AAG Payoff department by the title company and the mortgage holder but they refused to provide a mortgage payoff. Because of the refusal by AAG three houses could not be closed as scheduled. 

The mortgage holder requested to talk to a supervisor they were told it would to 24 hours before a supervisor would be available. I believe they were just stonewalling me. I would think that the payoff could be determined quickly. If I called a bank or credit union I could get the payoff of a loan while I was on the phone. Additionally, they said that the payoff would be as of XX/XX/2020. This means since the request was made on XX/XX/2020 that about 28 days of interest would be received by the mortgage company that they did not earn, in affect the broower was being charged a penalty for payoff the mortgage early. The mortgage papers said there would not be a penalty for early payoff. 

It appears to me that rAAG did not care about their customers and was charging them for service they did not receive.

Complaint:
I am extremely disappointed in the service Discover fraud services has provided me. I became a victim of card fraud and reported the fraud as soon as I became aware of it. After being told they would file an investigation and being reassured I would not be held liable, I started to receive calls weeks later questioning my actions in reporting the fraudulent transactions. After several calls with their fraud department and answering the same questions they had asked several times, I was told I was being held liable for the charges as they find no fraud occurred. After requesting to speak with a manager, a fraud analyst advised no investigation was conducted. I was also advised the decision was made based on fraud patterns. I was advised because notifications were sent to me advising of the charges, notifications I didn't receive, and my reporting of the charges 5 days after the fact these charges would not be considered fraudulent. I was also told since the charges were done in stores near my area and at some businesses i have visited in the past, these finds were sufficient to make their decision. I found the circumstantial evidence aspect of the investigation to be very upsetting. No one wanted to hear my side of the story. No one wanted to take the time and actually investigate the charges. Discover simply submit an inquiry to the merchants and the merchants did not respond so they turned to a probability chart and added the charges to my account. I find it upsetting that they would use my area as a probability factor of the charges being authorized. We are in a pandemic, I don't travel and I use my card often. If I lose my card, it is a high probability it will be in my area. Since there were no additional charges on the card, they found it to be strange rather than a blessing no more fraudulent charges were added. Without even hearing my side of things, past the basic questions they kept asking me, or at least advising me of how they came to their conclusion, I received a letter advising me the charges were added to my account and I need to pay for them. I don't know how Regulations work or how credit cards can get away with the advertisement of " Zero Liability '' for fraudulent charges but still charge you, but if that is not a true statement, why advertise it. Especially if the company is not going to do their due diligence in truly investigating the charges. I feel wronged and mad at the fact someone has benefited at my expense. The charges took place XX/XX/2020 {$840.00} at XXXX of XXXX XXXX, CA and XXXX XXXX # XXXX XXXX, Ca. {$110.00}.

Issue: Closing your account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
I opened up a credit card account with Bank Of America 13 years ago as a college student. I used the credit card for years, but in the past few years I've used it less and less. I maintained a XXXX or near XXXX  balance on the credit card for the past year. Without warning, Bank of America recently closed the account due to " inactivity '' citing that they have the ability to do so within the contract. Since this is my oldest credit card accounts, my credit has been negatively impacted. The timing could not be worse as I'm in the process of purchasing a home. When I called to see if the account can be restored, I was told that closing of the account could not be reversed. 

I'm now in jeopardy of no longer qualifying for a home mortgage due to the negative impact on my credit score from a credit card account in which I had a {$0.00} balance.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: IL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
I, XXXX XXXX currently have a modification/forbearance agreement with Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. The original loan modification began on XX/XX/XXXX which I maintained compliance in making monthly mortgage payments. My income was reduced following my retirement in XX/XX/XXXX but I continued paying all mortgage payments until hardship from a fixed income began to incur in XX/XX/XXXX. At that time, while I was still in my modification agreement, I requested mortgage assistance from Wells Fargo Home Mortgage and was approved for a forbearance agreement on XX/XX/XXXX for twelve months that ended XX/XX/XXXX. Now that I am fully retired and not currently working and I need to readjust my mortgage payment, Wells Fargo is forcing me into a short sale on the property as my only remedy. My true intent is to keep my home and I am struggling to do that following the forbearance and furthermore, I believe this is form of discrimination. I know that Wells Fargo is definitely in breach of the contracts. They are intentionally taking my home ownership rights as well as my due process and I am asking for your help.
