Complaint:
I was contacted by a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a payday loan from 2013. This company had personal information that led me to believe that a debt actually existed. They stated that unless I paid the amount immediately by XXXX that a warrant would be issued for my arrest w/ a bond of {$6000.00}. I sent the XXXX and called back with the reference number. While on hold, I searched the company name online and discovered that it was a scam, but too late to prevent the transfer of funds. I was sent an " Exoneration Letter '' rather than a Release which further indicates that it was actually a scam.

Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
My Mortgage was transfered/sold to LoanCare ( XXXX ) sometime between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ; hard to tell due to this company 's false and illegitimate business practice! They stated my escrow account was short for beginning year XX/XX/XXXX, and increased my monthly amount for escrow. I contacted them ( XXXX ) because my required monthly escrow amount increased ; they explained that my home insurance increased. I already knew this, but wanted to speak with this company for first time after reading online reviews. In addition to my home insurance increase ; LoanCare added another immoral fee themselves. So I called to ask for explanation ; why the difference in paperwork regarding my escrow account, I was disconnected after asking to be put on hold. This is my first experience with LoanCare ; as my loan was recently sold to them. After reading the online reviews at this link " https : XXXX '' ; I ask that this company be exposed immediately! These people are playing with homeowners homes ; ultimately, their lives! Is this what the government has allowed our country to become ; it 's hard working citizens being legally robbed.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
My home mortgage loan was recently sold to a company called Loancare out of XXXX, Virginia. The first thing they did when they acquired my loan was to increase the amount being held in escrow from the contracted XXXX of the total charges to an amount that is equivalent to XXXX of the total charges. Over the last month, I have repeatedly tried to get them to correct it via phone and e-mail, but they continue to ignore my requests. My total estimated escrow payments for the year 2016 are {$9300.00}. They want to hold {$3100.00} in escrow which is exactly XXXX. The original amount without the increase would have been {$2200.00} which is still over the contracted amount even without the increase.

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: MD
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint:
My loan repayment, on XXXX, was recalculated by Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency for the year and they did not include my wife 's loan in their calculation causing a much higher amount to be deducted than necessary. My student loan payment for my loan jumped from {$260.00} to {$670.00}. The amount they debited however in XX/XX/XXXX was {$810.00}. My wife 's loan increased from {$190.00} to {$420.00}. This increase was due to a failure on my part to confirm her updated yearly certification. I received one email and no reminders from Dept. of Ed. to finish the process. This difference of {$800.00} is significant. I 'm working XXXX jobs to try and keep my head above water. My salary as a federal attorney has lost ground when compared to health insurance premium increases and property tax increases in XXXX County, MD. I work part time on the weekends at XXXX XXXX, but that additional income only increases the amount I 'm expected to pay on my student loan, creating a vicious feedback cycle. I 've recently taken a XXXX job as a part time tribal judge. With a XXXX child XXXX, XXXX XXXX not counting my work hours at XXXX towards XXXX status, this expected but wrongly calculated increase has severely cramped our budget for the month. 

I also have a hard time understanding their PLSF calculation. I was hired at XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I worked for XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. Their calculation says I have 95 payments to go. I have been making loan payments, when not in school, since I worked for the XXXX. I will have 13 years of federal service in XX/XX/XXXX. At what point does the ten year forgiveness kick in?

Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Threatened to contact someone or share information improperly
Sub-issue: Contacted your employer

Complaint:
Midland Credit ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX phone XXXX ) purchased my debt from Atlantic Credit in XXXX 2020. I had an agreement to pay biweekly payments every 2  weeks for XXXX ( via automatic withdrawal from my checking account ) and had been making payments as agreed upon for over 14 months. 
Midland Credit sent me notice at my home that the debt had been purchased and that payments would continue to be withdrawn on a biweekly bases. 
They however sent notice to my employer as well notifying my employer of my debt. 
The Office manager received the correspondence from Midland and stated that they do not want to be responsible for garnishment of wages. The Office Manager at my work is now recommending that I be let go over this. 

On XX/XX/2020 I called Midland Credit and my call was transferred from one person to the next with no one acknowledging that they had even sent the notice of the debt to my employer. When asked to speak to a Supervisor there was no one available during routine business hours or in a Customer Service Role. When transferring my call they wanted me to pay the full amount of the debt on the spot and not address any of the issues that I called about. I notified Midland Credit that they are not to contact me at my employer since their actions may be the cause for my termination. 
These type of practices clearly step over the line of reasonable. If I had not been making payments on a regular basis, had defaulted on the original agreement then further action by a debt collector may be warranted, but this was not the case.

Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC.
State: MI
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
I was notified in XXXX that the mortgage payment ( {$500.00} ) I paid, XXXX XXXX for the XXXX XXXX due date had not been credited to my loan and was being " held ''. Apparently, my monthly payment was increased ( due a requested review of my escrow ) to account for potential shortage. I did not receive information explaining the increase from {$490.00} to {$590.00} before paying the historical amount. Once notified, I requested to have additional information sent, inquired into whether a credit bureau mark had taken place and requested that the {$500.00} being held be credited to the account as appropriate. I then set up the additional {$100.00} payment to be dispersed ( XXXX/XXXX/2015 ) as well as paying the XXXX XXXX payment due ( {$600.00} ), which I was informed was going to be the new payment moving forward. 
Since completing, I have received XXXX calls, that I now view as harassing in nature, in which Suntrust Mortgage is claiming I owe an additional {$490.00} ( on top of most likely late fees charged in error ). I do not agree with these tactics, as I 've not failed to meet the standards outlined within my contract. I pay my mortgage every month, the required amount and have been more than willing to adjust as needed. 
As of now, should Suntrust Mortgage fail to update and correct their records on file, should I incur any form of negative impact from their inabilities, I will seek legal counsel.

Complaint:
I originally tried to pay this bill to the hospital XXXX ( orignal owner of my debt ). I had XXXX and was waiting to get a few pay checks to get caught up. I know I owed this money, not trying to get out of that. I received a bill from XXXX and I called in ( being proactive ) and I paid my bill in full. I also asked them to make a note on my account that I attempted to pay the bill to the original debt owner ( hospital XXXX ). The lady handling my case was rude to me and called me goofy for wanting that noted. Then she hung up on me. Rude to me and calling me names when I am paying my bill in full is uncalled for. No wonder these people have bad reputations.

Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC.
State: CO
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
I contacted SunTrust Mortgage about paying off my house on XXXX/XXXX/16. I spoke to XXXX and was told I would need to stop automatic payments from my checking account.. I asked her to please do so and she said it was taken care of. She then told me to write a check for the full amount of {$1300.00} and if I wanted to, add a bit more to cover interest for the few days it would take for the check to arrive at SunTrust. She instructed me to include my name and account number. I followed these instructions and sent in my check and paperwork the next day. 
When I did n't hear from them by XXXX, I called and spoke to XXXX and she told me they had closed the account the previous day. That they were sending my escrow plus over a thousand dollars in addition to that. I questioned why I would be getting over a thousand back and she said that they had taken a regular house payment out through automatic payment at my bank that very day. The day AFTER they had closed my account. 
I told her that XXXX had said that automatic payment had been cancelled on XXXX XXXX. She said that apparently it had n't been done. I asked that the money be placed back into my account as it caused me to be unable to pay some of my other bills to have that money gone. She said her supervisor XXXX XXXX wanted me to send a copy of my bank statement to prove that they had withdrawn the money. Although they just told me they had done so, they now wanted me to prove it. I sent a picture to XXXX showing that page of my bank account. I received a message from XXXX the next day saying that XXXX now wanted a hard copy of that statement and that XXXX would call me later that day to take care of my account. That was XXXX and I 've not heard from them since. 
Today, XXXX, I have called twice and requested to talk to XXXX and been told she will call me back. That was 3 hours ago. 
I told them the first day when they said they took the extra payment that it would cause me hardship paying my bills and that I would hold them accountable for any fines or charges I received as a result of their mistake. I was told that they were going to mail me that check and the escrow money within 15 days. Rather than credit it back into my account that day as I requested. I feel like I am getting the run around and that I am being penalized for their employees error. I know we all make mistakes, not a big deal. But their failure to rectify this in a timely manner is why I am contacting you. Can you please help me?
