Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
I am veteran, I received my letter on XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX. I was approved by my county effective XX/XX/XXXX, I am exempt of paying property taxes. I notified Chase immediately! After being bounced from department to department. Finally, I spoke to the correct department that said they would remove my taxes being collected to my escrow account effective XX/XX/XXXX. I am behind in my payments, thinking this would get me caught up. Today, I am still in the same boat. I called back in beginning of XXXX to check when they would stop collecting taxes from my monthly payment. They stated they didn't have a record ( they have recorded calls?? ) and that they would enter it in that day it would take 5 days. I called back today and they stated it would be effective XXXX payment. I don't have the income for them to keep playing with ME! The weird thing is that I made a payment in XXXX and it was only {$2500.00}, which was my monthly payment minus taxes. I am trying to pay {$2500.00} again they say you owe {$3400.00} and wont take anything less. I AM SO CONFUSED! I just want them to stop taking taxes, recalculate my payment so I can get caught up. This has made me stressed and distraught. This situation has set off my XXXX, I went to XXXX for the XXXX XXXX XXXX and that was easier to deal with than dealing with CHASE. I don't think I am asking too much! I just need someone to stop what their doing and pay attention. I don't have the money to wait to see if it is effective in XXXX they might take my house.

Complaint:
It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, account or item which do not belong to me.

The dispute item do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files. 

If you feel there is a possibility this account belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.

Complaint:
XXXX is falsifying information to still report on my account. The first delinquency from XXXX was in XX/XX/XXXX. I have credit reports from XXXX supporting my claim. I was unemployed all of XXXX and returned to work in the summer of XXXX at a job paying half of what I made in XXXX. As a result, XXXX 's claim that I caught up in XXXX is FALSE. Therefore, they should be made to prove that I caught up with my past due balance in XXXX by submitting other evidence payments. 

To further illustrate their deception, I spoke with a XXXX executive who refused to review the evidence I provided, only to reply with, " our records are correct. '' It is unjust that XXXX is allowed to report misinformation for their own benefit without providing substantial proof that their financial records are true.

Sub-issue: Problem making or receiving payments

Complaint:
I opened CITI bank Priority account which promised an account opening Bonus of {$600.00} after qualifying activities of depositing {$50000.00} and keeping money in the account for 5 months! 

Even after qualifying activities are fully completed and confirmed by CitiBank Customer Service Representative, they are NOT depositing my Bonus of {$600.00} in the account. 

If I chose to close the account then they will not deposit the bonus even though my account and money ( {$50000.00} ) are held by them in my account for more than 5 months now. 

If I decide to make full withdrawal of my money {$50000.00} and keep the account open so as to receive the bonus amount of {$600.00}, they will charge me account maintenance fee as account need to have {$50000.00} at all the time to avoid account Maintenance fee. 

I simply want to get my bonus of {$600.00} and withdraw all of my {$50000.00} held with them and close the account immediately as I need the my money back soon. 

Purposely they are delaying the bonus depositing process to keep my {$50000.00} locked with them. 

I attempted to escalate the matter but they are not doing anything. I have spent hours with them on phone but they do not seem to care. 

They do not have any mechanism in place to keep a record of two way communication between bank and the client. 

Very deceitful tactics by citibank. 

Kindly help.

State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, Aimloan ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ), a XXXX XXXX based mortgage lender, charged {$450.00} to my credit card to initiate the refinance of my house located in North Carolina. the {$450.00} was an appraisal fee. For months I provided every item of documentation that was requested of me, then on XX/XX/XXXX, 3 months into the loan process, I was told by XXXX XXXX, an Aimloan representative, that I would be required to provide replacement cost insurance coverage for the property, in order for the refinance to fund. 
When the refi process was initiated, I did not have replacement cost coverage. Neither XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, or XXXX XXXX have ever required such coverage on either of the older houses I own, which were built XXXX XXXX. I spent hours on the telephone and took time off from work to try to make this refi happen. My insurance agent contacted representatives from several companies, and I completed several applications, only to find that replacement cost insurance on a dwelling built at the turn of the century is so expensive that lenders do not require it. 
In my case, acquiring such insurance would negate the purpose of the refi, which was twofold. It was indicated to XXXX XXXX of Aimloan at the onset of the refi process, that one purpose of the loan was to save money, and the other was to pay off the mortgage for a second house. 
At the onset, of the refi process, I submitted documentation of my current homeowner 's policy. It was at Aimloan 's request that the payee ( policy owner ) on my North Carolina homeowner 's insurance be changed. The updated certificate of insurance was emailed to XXXX XXXX of Aimloan on XX/XX/XXXX. The bottom line is, Aimloan had my policy in their hands at the onset, but nothing was said about the necessity for me to provide replacement cost insurance until much later in the process. An unreasonable request that no other lender has ever required of me. Aimloan neglected to advise me of this requirement up front, which would have been optimal, but they also had the opportunity to advise me before XX/XX/XXXX, before the appraisal ( my appraisal copy was generated XX/XX/XXXX ). 

It was Aimloans duty to disclose their requirement/policy concerning homeowners insurance at the onset of the refinance process. They failed to do so until after they spent the appraisal fee of {$450.00}, which I paid up front. I continue to await a refund. 

If it will be of help, the loan number from one of the many Rate Lock documents generated by Aimloan concerning this matter is : XXXX [ The attached screenshot shows that Aimloan was in possession of my homeowner 's NC homeowner 's policy before XX/XX/XXXX. Item 4 is a request that my husband 's name be added to the policy ].

Company: NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANK
State: NC
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
My mortgage is with New York Community Bank ( XXXX, NY. ) My homeowners insurance and property taxes are paid through escrow annually. For the second year in a row, I have had to pay my homeowners insurance premium to XXXX XXXX because the mortgage company has not paid it before the lapse date. The bill was sent by the insurance company to NYCB in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, with reminder notices going out in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. The policy renews on XX/XX/XXXX annually. In XX/XX/XXXX, the payment was not made by NYCB until XX/XX/XXXX, so I had to pay on XX/XX/XXXX to avoid a lapse. In XX/XX/XXXX, payment was not sent until XX/XX/XXXX, and I again had to pay on XX/XX/XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX was a Sunday ) to avoid a lapse. I have spoken to the escrow department at NYCB several times and have never received a satisfactory explanation as to why they are not paying on time, even though the money is fully available in my escrow account. I even tried to have the escrow discontinued so I could pay the bills myself and they would not allow me to do this without charging me an exorbitant fee. I think I should be able to discontinue my escrow without penalty or fee since they have demonstrated that they can not pay the bills on time.
