Company: LAKEVIEW LOAN SERVICING, LLC
State: TX
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Today XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX that my mortgage is increasing by {$74.00} per mom after an escrow analysis was done. The letter informed me that the increase is effective on XX/XX/XXXX. I immediately called XXXXhe servicing company XXXX  number listed on the letter and was greeted by a young lady by the name of XXXX ID number XXXX who explained that since the letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX that there is nothing she could do to assist me in extending the effective date even though I was only notified 19 days prior. I asked her why nothing could be done, She told me that since I didnt seem to like her answer that I could with call Lakeview the Finance company or speak with her manager. She transferred me to a woman who claimed to be a manager by the name of XXXX ID number XXXX who stated that because the letter was dated XX/XX/XXXX theres nothing she could do to help me. She placed me on hold and came back and said that the letter was available to me online under my account on XX/XX/XXXX. I then asked her to confirm for me when they received my XXXX mortgage payment thats made online every month, she stated on XX/XX/XXXX. I asked her then how am I supposed to know as a first time homebuyer to look for such a letter AFTER Ive already made my XXXX payment, that I access my account when its time to make a payment and at that time there was no letter there. She then offered to transfer me to an escalation line. I asked if I would have to explain all this to yet another person, XXXX assured me that she would warm transfer me so that she could let the person who answered know what was going on. After being on hold a few minutes a person greeted me by the name of XXXX ID XXXX, she had no knowledge of what was going on and stated that no one told her that a call was being transferred to her so I had to explain all over again and to no avail I got nowhere with her. She stated that all she could do was waive a late fee if I needed to pay late. I explained to her how hard Ive worked on my credit, that my payments are always early for that very reason, that what Im asking is for a proper 30 day notice that a XX/XX/XXXX effective date would be fair ... she was no help AT ALL. I am now forced to try to figure out how I will be able to come up with the rest of the funds for this increase. The amount may not seem like much to most but to a single Mother, it means a great deal.

State: GA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
During a breach in XXXX, my personal information was potentially hacked. The breached company offered free credit bureau 'locking ' services which I took advantage of with Equifax . Now that I am applying for a mortgage, the lender needs access to my bureau. After unsuccessfully attempting to reset my password through Equifax 's website, on XX/XX/XXXX, I called customer service. I was barraged with questions to identify me ( which I understand ) but the questions were very vague and open ended, such as " who have you had a car loan with? '' Well, I am XXXX years old and have had a dozen cars between me, my ex-wife and XXXX kids ( now adults ). Customer service would not clarify what timeframe so I just named all of the cars I had ever had. Apparently, I got that right, so she then asked me the amount of the payment. " For which car? ", I asked. She would not specify. This is but one example of many frustrating questions I had to answer without specificity. I was further infuriated by the fact that I was clearly speaking to someone overseas and who knows where all of my information is now. I must have answered all of the questions more or less correctly because she unlocked my bureau for 5 days. I asked why I was unable to reset my password on-line. She said that system has not been working. " For how long? ", I asked. " For over a week '', she answered. Now, on XX/XX/XXXX, the lender needs to revalidate my information. I just tried my password, it didn't work, clicked the " forgot password '' link, and response is a reset link has been emailed. ( Same scenario are earlier in the month. ) Again, I have not received an email and have to call Equifax again to go back through the earlier drill. Hopefully, I will remember the amount of my car payment on my XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Complaint:
On several occasions ( at least 3 times over last 6 months ), I've called Marcus Bank by Goldman Sachs about receiving bank statements at my mailing address even though I'm setup for online / paperless delivery. They keep sending paper statements to my address but I'm not always home and there have been issues with my mail being access by external people. In fact, I know of one instance where my statement was opened by someone else ( PRIVACY EVENT ). I'm currently logged into my account and the delivery method is " Electronic '' but I'm still getting paper communication ( see attached screenshot ). They don't seem to care ... I've called so many times and even asked to pass my issue over to their Complaints team but no one calls me back and handles my situation. There is something wrong with their system. PLEASE HELP!

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Complaint:
Discover sided with a merchant on dispute that clearly had no legs. Initially, I had an autoship with XXXX which was routed to a different card for over six months so this charge no longer appeared on Discover for over six months. Then I reached out to XXXX to cancel that autoship in writing. Instead of cancelling they submitted my initial customer agreement to Discover and started charging me again. I immediately disputed the charge, but Discover in their infinite wisdom decided it was valid even though no product was received by me. The amount in dispute is {$54.00} which I would like to see returned to me ASAP.

Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Mobile or digital wallet
Issue: Unauthorized transactions or other transaction problem

Complaint:
I recently disputed a charge with PayPal and encountered a few issues with their process. The primary issue is they denied the claim and I take it just simply to appease the merchant since merchant business is most likely more important to them than individual accounts! The other issue ( 2 ) is they provided no explanation and I could not see the sellers response ... Third, ( 3 ), the process started a bit deceiving, I had already tried to work the issue out with the seller but they stopped responding ... I filed the claim with PayPal not expecting them to simply open that dialog back up, it was a waste of time as their position was very clear. 

Now the situation was that had printing done, a tri-fold brochure printed and nothing more fundamental to such a thing than that the folds are correct, which they were not and not even close. I provided first the seller a picture and then PayPal and most anyone should be able to see the folds were not correct. The bottom line is a brochure is a representation of a business and you can't have something so obviously wrong with something that is representative of your business. The worst part is that it could have been easily identified if the seller was at least a little concerned with quality ... I offered that they could have the items returned to them which they refused ... It was just shoddy workmanship and consumers use services like PayPal to protect themselves against this precise situation.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I was the victim of a scam. I received email from XXXX/ w link to call, which I did. I was advised that I needed to transfer funds to pay for this. I said I did not do this, they said a claim needed to be done, I said fine, Then the person on the phone said that I need to check my bank account. I did and there was a huge transfer of funds into my account, and that I needed to return them via XXXX. I do not know how they got into my bank account at Wells Fargo Bank, I feel they had help, not only did I get the money and send it to these crooks, they also took money from my Wells Fargo Visa Account- CASH ADVANCE, which I did not authorize, nor did I know that this had been done. I immediately called the Wells Fargo Bank, they said I need to go into the office which I did, closed my accounts, filed the necessary paperwork for the FRAUD that was done with me, which I did. The bank manager said that Wells Fargo Bank should have caught this, but they did not. I did not authorize any of this, I have a verbal PASSSWORD on my accounts, no one from Wells Fargo Bank called me at any time. Now I have lost over {$20000.00} of my cash, plus the CASH ADVANCE money which Wells Fargo Bank is saying that I owe them, even though I did not authorize it. I have never taken a CASH ADVANCE. I feel that someone in Wells Fargo Bank is responsible for all that has happened to me, but Wells Fargo Bank refuses to tell me anything about who in Wells Fargo Bank approved of all that happened, which I firmly believe someone in the bank did make it all happen. Wells Fargo Bank has access to all of my information. I did not ever give any information out to anyone at anytime. 
I have received correspondence from Wells Fargo Bank saying I owe them the CASH ADVANCE MONEY, even thought I did not authorize it. I have had an account with Wells Fargo Bank since XXXX, Visa Account since XXXX.NO PROBLEMS. I need help. I am a senior, hitting XXXX. I have done reports to : XXXX XXXX Police XXXX, FBI, Federal Trade Comm.NAPSAXXXX, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
