Complaint:
On XX/XX/23 ask for a increase in credit and to have my secured account to regular account. When I opened account 5 years ago I was told after 1 year of good payments I could do this, but every XXXX they tell me the same, brhat I can not unsecure the card and will continue secured. This is frustrating as I have a great payment history and have prove myself as a great customer. 

Also they never increase my credit line. 

They always tell me I have no way to appeal ruling too

Issue: Problem when making payments

Complaint:
Citibank has ruined my life!! 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a XXXX XXXX XXXX check for {$2500.00} for my loan payoff was cashed by Citibank and deposited in my loan account, on XX/XX/19, Citibank withdrew {$270.00} from my account because i signed up for autopay. On XX/XX/XXXX I called Citibank and asked why they hadnt deposited the {$3200.00} check i made from XXXX XXXX to payoff my loan, Which was cashed on XX/XX/XXXX? They claimed they didnt receive it and asked that i send a copy of the check, which i did. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I called to find out the status of the missing check. The representative told me that me that the two payments i made in XXXX ( {$270.00} and {$2500.00} ) were reversed and never told me why because the back office wasnt opened on the weekend and advised i called back on Monday. 
I called back today XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX EST, the first thing the representative told me was that my account was overdue and i told her to read the notes on my account and tell me why the two payments in XXXX were reversed before she telling that my account was overdue. 
She told me that she couldnt tell me why and the back office do not have a phone number to reach them on. 
When i asked she opened a complaint, she thought she put me on mute and she said Lady, Lady, so you are just gon na start on me this morning when i asked her why she would make that comment, she denied it and later said, yes she said so because i asked her why my payments were reversed and she didnt have an answer for me. 
I find this ridiculous and it is likely that Citibank would report a late payment on the credit bureaus and mess up my credit for no fault of mine.

Sub-issue: Billing problem

Complaint:
I purchased a car through XXXX, financed through XXXX ( now " XXXX '' ) in XX/XX/2017. I began making payments through the online banking feature at my bank. XXXX/XXXX has repeatedly " lost '' my payments, sometimes finding them days or weeks later and crediting them, late, after charging extra fees and interest. Often, when I call, I am immediately told that my account is " past due '' but there is no record that I have called multiple times about the same issues. This complaint concerns two specific payments, both made on XX/XX/XXXX. These payments, like others, have been " lost. '' I have contacted XXXX on multiple occasions, even sending them proof of payment, asking that the amounts be credited to my account. Their response is to keep charging me late fees. Now they are saying they got the proof of payment, issued by my bank and sent by me, but they want a copy of the actual check. I called my bank, and what they can provide me is the proof of payment I already sent XXXX. It includes the date, check #, expected delivery date, etc. This proof of payment should be accepted by any legitimate company.

Company: Flagstar Bank, N.A.
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint:
I signed insurance funds to Flagstar mortgage in the amount of XXXX the HAF program also gave XXXX on my behalf to pay mortgage off according to payoff statement provided by Flagstar. Flagstar has on processed the half payment and not my Insurance payment advising they now want an additional XXXX and now still have me behind 2 payments. They sit interest as well as attorney fees ( the latter should have definitely been included in the payoff and the interest is ridiculous as the payoff amount has only changed a few XXXX dollars since XXXX but somehow I am XXXX short. They advised me they are awaiting attorney fees which they should already have. How can they offer me a payoff and then process the funds in a way that does not allow me to pay it off. They keep charging me interest even though they are responsible for the extended time it has taken by not supplying me with the payoff statement in a timely manner and then once check was sent to HAF they could not find and none of this is being taken into consideration. If you look at the payoff letters they have sent me more than once the funds they have are more than enough to payoff my house. There should be no more attorney fees. The foreclosure case was closed and I have been dealing with Flagstar directly for over a month now. I would like my home to be paid off and in a timely matter. I also requested a copy of the letter from the state telling Flagstar how to apply the funds. I have requested this three times in writing and I have yet to receive. If anything due to the many errors Flagstar has made ny account should be paid off immediately. They refused to apply the intestacy laws published by the cfpb to allow me to assume my mortgage and now refuse to pay off ny loan even though they provided the documentation to HAF and my myself informing us that this was enough to cover the complete mortgage.

Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
We are currently under chapter XXXX bankruptcy and have our mortgage withOcwen. I received a phone call from Ocwen on a Sunday, XXXX, andwas told we owe them over {$9000.00}. I 've since been told by Ocwen that ourpayment went up from {$1200.00} to {$1500.00} XX/XX/XXXX and they have also told methat I was not notified of this increase, nor was our attorney or the chapterXXXX trustee. How can you indebt us for something that we were never notifiedof in the first place? I also received documentation stating my payment wasgoing to increase XX/XX/XXXX from {$1200.00} to {$1300.00}. I spoke withOcwen yesterday and was told my payment is supposed to be {$1500.00}. Also, we are under a loan modification which lowered our payments to somethingwe could afford, so why do they keep raising our payments?? In addition, when I go onto Ocwens website, it does n't show any increase XX/XX/XXXX and itshows the current amount due as {$1000.00} with a due date XX/XX/XXXX. 
How can I be liable for Ocwens mistake especially since their website is n't evencorrect??? Additionally, is n't it illegal to try and collect a debt from me while I'I 'm under chapter XXXX bankruptcy?

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
In XXXX due to an old IRS debt my accounts were frozen and I fell behind on my mortgage.In the end of XXXX I cashed out some of my retirement benefits to reinstate my mortgage. I ordered reinstatements beginning in XX/XX/XXXX. In XXXX my servicer transferred and I requested reinstatements that were not sent to me. The reinstatement requests were made XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. When the reinstatement finally arrived I had enough to pay the arrears but not the escrow. I asked the bank 's attorney if I could pay the missed payments and enter into a payment plan with the escrow. I was instructed to contact Shellpoint directly. Upon contacting Shellpoint I was advised that I would have to apply for a loan modification. I expressed worry at this since I had been denied for a loan modification with XXXX. The reason for denial was my debt to income was 12 %, I was an immediate default and my hardship had not been resolved. I can afford my mortgage, and my accounts had been restored since the IRS freeze so I did not feel as though I was accurately denied. I was hesitant to apply again because I felt as though there is reason to believe that I would again not get a fair review. I asked if I could negotiate the fees in the reinstatement and make a full payment or if I could make a large down payment and the rest could be capitilized. Shellpoint refused to work with me. Then the CARES act passed and I attempted to go onto a forbearance where I would be able to make a partial payment and send {$25000.00} and then apply for the modification. Again, Shellpoint refused to help me.

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I paid my vehicle loan off with Hyundai Motor Finance USA in full. I was told that it would take 10 business days to audit the loan, close my loan, and release my title. On XX/XX/XXXX I called back to inquire about the status of my title release, but I was told that the loan was still showing active. The rep stated that she would escalate the issue and it would be an additional 10 business days before the title would be released. On XX/XX/XXXX I called again to inquire about the title release and was told that the account was still active. The rep stated that she would escalate the issue and the title would be released in 10 business days. I gave a little more time and called back on XX/XX/XXXX only to be told my loan is still active and has not been closed or sent for the title to be released. There is no phone number to reach the title department nor was I given an email address to get this resolved. At this point I feel like no one is processing my loan closure and they are not working to get my title released.
