Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: NY
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Other type of mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023, we closed on a construction loan with Citizens Bank. The construction loan was to construct a new primary residence in XXXX XXXX, New York on a plot of land we already own. Pursuant to the loan closing disclosure, attached to this complaint, the loan was for {$820000.00}, where approximately {$80000.00} was for construction costs and {$20000.00} was for closing costs. There was no equity requirement stated within any loan documents or conveyed verbally by the bank. This is reflected in the aforementioned closing disclosure. A check was produced by the bank 's attorney at closing in the amount of {$100000.00} to begin the initial draw. After we received the funds, we realized that the bank did not provide the full amount of the initial draw. Upon further investigation on the Citizen Banks app XXXX XXXX XXXX, we noticed that our loan amount changed from {$820000.00} to XXXX XXXXXXXX a difference of {$19000.00}. Coincidentally, this was the exact same amount of money that we had previously expended out-of-pocket for the demolition of the previously existing structure. We had been told by our loan officer that we would be reimbursed this amount, at closing, as it was part and parcel of the build. We had not been reimbursed. 
We continued to try and figure out what was going on by contacting numerous people at the bank. It was then that the construction department at Citizens, informed us that we had an equity requirement for the loan. As you can see from the disclosure documents, there is no mention of any such requirement on ANY loan document. Nor was it ever conveyed verbally or in writing. Coincidentally, the equity amount was {$19000.00}. However, as per the construction department, the bank decided rather than request equity, they would simply credit us the {$19000.00} equity requirement because we had " in earnest '' already spent that amount. We are now short funds to build. 
We have tried on numerous occasions to resolve this issue with the bank. We have escalated it to several departments and managers within Citizens Bank to no avail. We have demanded an explanation in writing from several managers. The latest is XXXX XXXX, XXXX - Area Manager. No one will provide an explanation as to why our loan amount changed without our knowledge and consent, why they added an equity requirement after closing without our knowledge and consent, and how they will remedy the shortage of funds.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
On or about XX/XX/XXXX Wells Fargo made a loan with my wife and I in the amount of {$680000.00} - the loan was a predatory loan as well as a non-principal interest only loan. After several request and with legal assistance - I was able to get a loan modification. However I receive a Step - Rate Loan Modification. This type of loan is designed for the borrower to fail. Because the interest rate continues to adjust and the principal never reduces allowing the borrower to create equity in the home. The step rate mortgage is primarily targeted toward XXXX XXXX  Borrowers. I eventually sued Wells Fargo Home Mortgage for violation of the Homeowners Bill of Rights on or around XX/XX/XXXX. And we settled. 

The settlement agreement included the reentry of the loan modification process and review. I had until XX/XX/XXXX to get all requested documents into Wells Fargo. All documents for review was submitted and received on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX - a Trustee Sales Date was posted on my home and primary residence. The Notice of Trustee Sale was delivered to my Neighbor. And I believe this was done deliberately to embarrass me and my family. Also I did not receive a Certified Copy that requires a Signature to receive the Notice of Trustee Sale. This is a violation of the Home Owners Bill of Rights. Wells Fargo Violated the Stipulated Agreement made from the lawsuit Settlement - to allow me to seek mortgage assistance by submitting a RMA Package and my financials to be review for mortgage assistance. Instead they decided to move forward with the process to foreclosure on my primary residence - by egregious over zealously attempting to embarrass me and my family.

Wells Fargo is a Predatory Lending and Banking Institution. And their predatory lending practices hurt XXXX XXXX the most. Why? Because - XXXX XXXX are targeted the most toward Predatory Lending and Red Lining. 

I am a XXXX XXXX  Service Connected XXXX Veteran - Branch of Service ( XXXX ). And I did not ask nor did I deserve to receive a loan that is designed for the borrower to fail. Wells Fargo Step Rate Mortgage Loan Modification is a Predatory Loan. And, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage - XXXX XXXX - Customers receive Predatory Loans the most.
