Company: Castle and Cookie Mortgage LLC
State: NM
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Other mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I purchased my home through Castle and Cook Mortgage company that deals with Loancare online. I started a hazard insurance policy and flood insurance policy on XX/XX/XXXX. After the XXXX year was up FEMA sent me a statement saying my current policy was not going to be honored. I started making arrangments to create a new policy. As I was making arrangements the check from escrow went out to XXXX XXXX for renewal of XXXX dollars that got changed and then only gave me 11,000 dollars of coverage. I created a new policy with XXXX insurance that could not be finalized till funds were recieved. When i contacted the mortgage company loancare to get a check sent from my escrow account they said they could not send funds because XXXX checks were already sent out. The XXXX check at XXXX and the XXXX of XXXX straight to FEMA, neither that i authorized because I was in process to get a new policy. I was then told i could not cancel the XXXX policy until a dec page was recieved for the policy i created with XXXX. Farmers was unable to get me a dec page until payment was funded, which was not available from my escrow due to XXXX checks being sent out without my authorization. I was able to cancel the homowners policy with XXXX XXXX right away so in this time period I had recieved a refund from them for the homeowners policy which i took and paid the policy through XXXX. At that time I finally got a copy of the dec page and sent this to XXXX XXXX to cancel the XXXX renewal policy which they told me I was unable to cancel because it was past the deadline. So at this point refunded to my escrow account should have been the funds for the homeowners policy and flood policy through XXXX XXXX which never went back due to fault of the loan company. The policy with XXXX XXXX had to stay in place for a year before cancelation since I was passed the cancelation period. So for the next year XX/XX/XXXX I had XXXX policies in place for my flood insurance. I believe this is the main reason why my escrow account is shorted and was at no fault to me. When the policy had to stay in place the XXXX dollars was not refunded to my escrow. So in the end there was the XXXX dollars for the flood policy and the XXXX for the homeowners policy that i paid to XXXX for the new policy, neither were credited to my escrow. I am claiming that the loan company has poor communication and did not notify me of the XXXX check sent and the escrow account being shorted as of XX/XX/XXXX. I was never told that the escrow was shorted and they have been advancing my escfrow account XXXX every month since XXXX to cover their mistake and pin this on me. The XXXX check for XXXX was finally refunded and applied to my escrow on XX/XX/XXXX which brought down the advancement to my escrow to XXXX for the last two months.

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: GA
Product: Credit card
Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint:
In XXXX XXXX, someone managed to break into my credit card account and steal reward points from it. No alert was generated at point redemption and I only accidentally found that out. I tried to contact US Bank officials persuading them to built a fraud protection into points redemption procedure, but despite my 5 calls and promises that someone from the management return my call, it never happened. Card was replaced and points credited back. I also found out that my points were transferred to another US Bank credit account and no fraudulent charges were applied to the card that clearly indicated that the thief 's target was only the reward points and he acted based on internal information available to US Bank employees only. On XXXX XXXX XXXX I found that my card was compromised again and another XXXX XXXX reward points were stolen from my bank. When I called them, it turned out that US Bank was well aware of the breach but they did n't even try to call me and alert me on fraudulent activities in my account, let alone the fact that point redemption did n't generate any alerts, either, despite the fact that 6 months ago it became clear that they must improve their system and add such alert.. They said that it was someone who generated fake ID and logged into my account. They refused to accept the blame saying that that someone was in possession of all my data, like ss number, dob, etc and they could n't do anything. I pulled all credit reports for me and my wife and found that our credit status has never been compromised. Also, nobody broke into our XXXX other reward credit cards. Like in the first case, no fraudulent charges were found on the account, so target of criminal activities was again just my reward points. This makes me think that the crime was committed based on internal knowledge of someone inside US Bank, just like in the first case. Else, how can we explain their in depth knowledge of US Bank reward system and the fact that fraud was limited to only US Bank credit card and no other cards I have, and my identity was n't compromised based on credit reports? They promised to return my points in 6 weeks ; this is totally unacceptable and it ruins my vacation plans as I tried to redeem points for airline tickets on the day I discovered points theft. However, US Bank apparently tries to convince me that this is my problem. All in all, US Bank does exceptionally poor job protecting customers from fraud, their alert system is outdated, they refuse to communicate with customers and accept responsibility and conduct proper investigation. Essentially, the shift the blame to someone else leaving the customer unprotected. The manner in which they conduct the business is totally unacceptable.

I had returned a call to the number she left and a gentleman named XXXX ( no last name given ) said that XXXX XXXX was not available and that he knew all the information about the call. This was before I even told him what the call was about. He told me that there company received a complaint from Check N Go that I had an outstanding balance with them which I partially disputed.

I told him that I did not have that amount and he told me I could pay 50 % and had to come up with the other 50 % within 24 hrs. I told him I could not come up with that amount for the first 50 %. He told me that I would have to get the money from family or Friends or the case will be forwarded the next day. I told him I have not gotten any information on this from them and he said he would send me a letter to explain everything by certified mail and by e-mail.

Complaint:
This is a second complaint in reference to CFPB COMPLAINT ID XXXX, in which XXXX XXXX from U.S. Bank responded to this complaint on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. XXXX did not address the crux of the issue, and that is that U.S. Bank knowingly and deliberately failed to follow applicable consumer and fair lending practices laws when investigating my complaint to them in XX/XX/XXXX. I was not once contacted by the appropriate department at U.S. Bank when I made complaints of discriminatory lending practices for my Simple Loan applications to U.S. Bank. XXXX XXXX 's investigation took much longer than 30 days, and at no point was there any communication as required by law, whatsoever, to notify me of the status of the investigation or that the investigation would take longer than required by law. XXXX XXXX 's response on XXXX XXXX does nothing more than vaguely apologize for the delay in investigating my complaints -- a delay that was unlawful, according to Fair Credit Reporting Act and other consumer laws that require U.S. Bank to have contacted me both about their investigation and their large delays in their investigation, which were far greater than 30 days. I would like U.S. Bank to hold XXXX XXXX accountable for her deliberately not following internal and external policies as they related to investigating my complaint and the intentional delays in their investigation, none of which were communicated to me. If U.S. Bank did not act lawfully, then I request that they be held legally liable. If XXXX XXXX did not act according to U.S. Bank policies and procedures, then XXXX needs to be held fully accountable for her failure to act. Finally, U.S. Bank still does not address that, despite XXXX years of my complaints concerning the denials I received for their Simple Loan product, it took me making a legitimate complaint of discrimination to understand what " poor deposit history and credit performance with U.S. Bank '' actually meant. U.S. Bank is willfully neglecting to acknowledge that they allowed these vague, non-specific denial reasons to be sent to me, and not once were they investigated to provide a specific, detailed reason of what the denials meant -- until I made a legitimate complaint that I believed they had discriminated against me in the lending process. I would not have continued to apply for the Simple Loans had U.S. Bank 's denials clearly and sufficiently explained what " poor deposit and credit history meant. ''
