Consumer complaint received 2023-08-15
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NY
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Sued you without properly notifying you of lawsuit

Complaint:
In XXXX  I received a collections letter from XXXX and XXXX regarding a credit card debt to Barclays Bank which I do not believe I owe and replied requesting validation. I received a response which I do not beleive meets the requirements for debt validation under New York or federal law and replied specifically requesting the following : a copy of the original signed credit agreement or application, transaction summaries showing how and when the amount they claim I owed was calculated, proof that XXXX and XXXX was authorized to collect the alleged debt on behalf of Barclays Bank, and proof that XXXX and XXXX is licensed to operate as a debt collector in XXXX XXXX XXXX. I received no further communication from Barclays or XXXX and XXXX for several years which I took as a tacit acknowledgment that they were unable to validate the alleged debt. 

On XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  I received notice that XXXX and XXXX was seeking default judgement in a lawsuit they claim to have filed against me in XX/XX/XXXX. I was never served with this lawsuit and had no knowledge of its existence prior to receiving this notice. Per documents filed with the court the initial complaint was served to a third party identified only as " XXXX XXXX  ( name refused ) - co resident '' ( I live alone and have no idea who this could be referring to ) and the complaint was sent by mail to an incomplete address. Documents also show that an additional notice was sent to the same incomplete address and returned as undeliverable by the postal service. 

I made multiple attempts to contact the attorney of record ( XXXX XXXX ) by phone but the number provided for him in a filing is directed to one of several non-attorney collections who immediately start talking over me or disconnect the call when I raise any of the following issues : The alleged debt was never validated, XXXX and XXXX knew or should have known that the original complaint was not properly served, by the time I became aware of the lawsuit the alleged debt ( if valid ) was time barred, all Barclays Credit Card agreements include a mandatory arbitration clause and even if the alleged debt is valid the lawsuit is improper as the matter should have been pursued in arbitration.

Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint:
The Company name is REMEX , INC . 
They have called me at work, demanding payment, telling me to borrow the money from someone.

I have asked that they send me proof of this debt, the man told me no that it had already been sent, I told him that I had never received anything. And asked him to resend me any documents that can verify this debt, who it is from and the amount owed.

I then told him, once I receive this information, if it was indeed legit that i'd be happy to go on a payment plan of XXXX XXXX per month - again he told me no, that it needed to be paid in full. 
After explaining several times that I would not just a pay someone that I had never heard of nor received any information regarding money owed, and asking for documentation to be sent to me and after that time if it were legit we would work up a payment plan. 
I still have not received anything, but have just noticed that this is now on my credit report

Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I had a family emergency and was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( my mother was diagnosed with XXXX XXXX ). When I returned to the XXXX, I realized the payments were not deducted from my bank account. I contacted XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, sent XXXX # XXXX {$11000.00} from the wrong checking account by accident, and set up a payment plan of {$280.00} each month. The rep told me the account was in the process of being sent to charge off. I asked her to please get in touch with the department handling this and let them know I was sending a large sum payment ( {$11000.00} ) and set up a payment plan in good faith to please do whatever it takes to stop it. I called them again about XX/XX/XXXX when the check didn't clear my account and asked them to resubmit it because I had transferred the money. I was told the check went through, but I knew it was a LIE since the money was still in the checking account. I sent another check on XX/XX/XXXX, Ck # XXXX, for the same amount ( {$11000.00} ), which was finally applied to my account. 

1. XXXX sent my account to charge off, even though I made a large sump payment that covered the months of missing payments and beyond 2. XXXX  is being paid the amount I owe in GOOD FAITH 3. XXXX has damaged my credit 4. This will be reported as INCOME to the IRS, which I have NOT RECEIVED, as I am paying this loan and keeping up with the monthly payment. I send a little more when I can 5. XXXX has not updated my payments on the account since XX/XX/XXXX and refuses to work with me on removing this charge off XXXX is acting maliciously ; I am doing my best to ensure this account stays current, but their negligence and wrongful reporting to the credit agencies which is harming my credit. XXXX wants to report an illegal loss on their finances with my account being charged off AND getting the loan amount paid off on time! This is double dipping into the tax pod and on their earnings, and they are breaking the law by doing this!

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: GA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage
Sub-issue: Application denials

Complaint:
" I recently applied for a mortgage loan and initially received pre-approval, followed by formal approval. I proceeded with the necessary steps, including the payment of earnest money. However, during the final stages of securing the loan, unforeseen complications arose. Despite my substantial down payment of over {$200000.00}, a XXXX XXXX exceeding XXXX, and the property 's value being {$360000.00}, my application was unexpectedly rejected. The reason provided was related to my debt-to-income ( DTI ) ratio. 

It's important to note that my student loans were not only in deferment but also subject to an income-driven repayment plan, with a nominal required monthly payment of {$130.00}. Given my annual income in the six-figure range, this denial was both surprising and disappointing. Regrettably, this turn of events resulted in a significant financial loss of nearly {$6000.00}. ''

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: OH
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
PNC Bank sent two checks to pay homeowners insurance to XXXX by XXXX. XXXX on XX/XX/2023 in the amount of {$1000.00} and the other on XX/XX/2023 in the amount of {$700.00}. The premium is {$1000.00} so this resulted in {$700.00} excessive sent to the insurance company. Upon contacting and speaking for about 10 times in the last 2-months frame, PNC Bank has been asked numerous times to provide the front and back copy of the check sent on XX/XX/2023 as the insurance company stating they did not receive, they have not been cooperating at all. This was requested from insurance company directly and still was not provided. Then they lied and said that it was provided every time. Because the first check they sent was not received but just the second check, insurance company took {$700.00} and said that only partial balance was paid and therefore {$320.00} additional payment is required. Technically, sending the insurance company the proof should have allowed them to locate the first check which then would have resulted in {$700.00} excess which should be refunded to me. However, instead PNC Bank again sent a third check in the amount of {$320.00} on XX/XX/2023. PNC bank clearly is aware of this issue and just keep sending money rather than helping insurance company locate the check and work with them to resolve so the money can be refunded and put back into escrow. Escrow analysis is coming up and they are keep sending money and increasing my homeowners insurance paid which will be used on that escrow analysis. They will not allow me or the insurance company to speak to the supervisor when this issue was escalated by the XXXX by XXXX. At this point, I am still not refunded of {$1000.00} excess PNC Bank paid in duplicate and the escrow shows the homeowners insurance paid as {$2000.00} obviously instead of what should be {$1000.00}. In addition, when they took over my mortgage, they did not update on convery their information to the insurance company until I spotted the problem as insurance company 's bill was not going through to them. This is going way over acceptable time frame and as escrow analysis coming near, I will not pay for the escrow shortage as a result of PNC Banks mistakes and refusal to fix but keep sending money without resolving the issue.
