Company: PHH Mortgage Services Corporation
State: AR
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
My loan was sold from XXXX XXXX to PHH. I did not know this as I never received a notice. I have been paying my loan on " autopay '' but XX/XX/XXXX went to increase principal payment amount and saw my loan was paid off. I called XXXX XXXX and they told me my loan had been sold to PHH. I asked them to provide me with account information for PHH so that I could reach out and ensure payment would be made on time. XXXX XXXX refused to provide any information stating that they could only mail or fax. They also communicated that I should not worry as I had 60 days to make payment. Then on XXXX XXXX, I received a bill from PHH that was mailed on XX/XX/XXXX showing that payment was due on XX/XX/XXXX but mailed on XX/XX/XXXX?? It also showed that they never debited XX/XX/XXXX payment and now they showed XXXX months due. I tried to go to PHH 's site to pay but was unable to do so due to their site 's limited functionality. I did set payment for " autopay '' that will start with XX/XX/XXXX payment, and mailed in a check on XX/XX/XXXX for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Then on Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notice from PHH saying that I was 31 days overdue on my mortgage and that adverse actions may be taken. This is frustrating and causing me much anxiety as it is very important that I maintain a good credit rating and on-time payment history. PHH 's notice requested that I called " immediately, '' but when I tried their IVR noted that they were closed. Their poor processes are unacceptable and must be corrected. Moreover, they need to guarantee to me that no adverse action was or will be taken on my account. Not to mention, that they owe homeowners like me an apology.

Dear Bank of America : This letter serves to request the cashiers checks be released from the CLOSED Account of XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, business checking and savings account. 

The FDIC Law, Regulations, Related Acts and 6500- Consumer Financial Protection Bureau provide laws and specific guidelines that protect consumers when bank accounts are closed. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, is within this class of protection. Bank of America is within its depository rights to close the accounts, but can not capriciously hold the funds, harass me, interfere with my constitutional rights and hurl XXXX  XXXX onslaughts! 


Bank of America initiated closing both the business checking and savings accounts on XX/XX/XXXX denying access to funds. 

Bank of America completed their investigation of XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX and submitted a Notice of CLOSURE dated XX/XX/XXXX. The NOTICE stipulated that funds from the account would be mailed 3-5 business days in the form of cashiers checks. 

Bank of America, various departments have been contacted from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX when the cashiers checks were not received. Their is no justification to hold my funds denying my constitutional rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ( unpaid mortgage, utilities, insurances, food and clothing ).

State: KY
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I signed up for a Amazon credit card through Chase bank.. A month  or so later, I received a call from chase, wondering when I was going to pay my overdue bill.. I immediately paid the bill in full over the phone on the first call.. 
When I asked why I never received a bill, I was told that upon agreement, I agreed to it. That if I wanted a paper bill, I would have to call or go online to opt out of paperless billing. 
I received notification of a reported late payment on my credit report.. JCMPB card over 30 days late, with an overdue amount of $ XXXX..I dont believe Chase should hide the paperless agreement in the fine print at signup. Im sure it saves them money by not having to send bills out, but they should request the customer to go paperless. Instead, they force the customer to go paperless in the fine print that no one really reads, and then blames the customer for late payment when they receive no bill in the mail, to remind them to pay it.. 
It seems predatory to me that are doing this to save themselves money from mailing bills. On top that, they reported a 30 day past due amount of {$0.00} that trashed my credit score.. If I was late on a XXXX bill, how can I be late ... if I owed nothing? Chase customer service told me you can contest it with the credit bureaus if you want to.. Why should I have to contest being late on {$0.00}?

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: IL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Settlement process and costs

Complaint:
We were behind several months on our mortgage. While we were working on a repayment plan, another department had started the foreclosure process. In XXXX XXXX we completed a Default Resolution Option to bring our mortgage current. We worked with the bank for a month or so and signed papers by the end of XXXX. When I did not receive any kind of bill or anything, I sent in my first payment in XXXX of XXXX, which they accepted. Then another two months went by and we could not get an answer to why we were not receiving any kind of notification so I sent another check for the agreed upon amount. That was returned back to us. In XXXX we received foreclosure paperwork. We went to the court everytime there was a hearing and even filed against the bank after a year of court dates every 6-8 weeks which they would never show up to. Unfortunately my husband became ill and could not go to court and the case was closed (? ). At the end of XXXX, XXXX we received notice that we could qualify for a Loss Mitigation Foreclosure Alternative. I spoke to US Bank representatives several times to clarify that I was understanding what I would have to do to save my home. They told me there would be three or four months of a high payment of about {$1400.00}, to 'prove ' that I was serious about saving my home, then the mortgage 'should ' drop down to under {$1000.00} per month ( I heard the representative figuring things, looking at approximate interest rates and estimated that the payment would be about {$900.00} ). I made my XXXX payment XXXX XXXX and continued until XXXX. At that time I was set up with the 'regular ' payments which was only {$50.00} less than the initial phase payments. All of a sudden no one knew why I was told that the payment would go down. So my mortgage of {$150000.00} suddenly went to over {$200000.00} because they added fees and interest ( which I do n't believe I was told about at the beginning ). 
Now I have checked out refinancing or seeing if I am eligible for the Hope program but no XXXX will finance over {$150000.00}. My house is worth about {$110000.00}. Today I owe about {$190000.00}. I am now stuck in my home, I ca n't sell it or refinance it because of everything they added to the original loan. I feel they were very deceitful and did n't want my home so they made me belive my house would once again be affordable after the initial 3-4 months.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: AL
Product: Credit card
Issue: Late fee

Complaint:
I receive paper statements from Capital One. Their statements say " payment received by due date or a late fee ''. Several times already, I have been charged a late fee even though I made payment on their website on the due date. Every time I contact them, they say it was charged because I did n't make the payment by a certain time on that day for it to post quickly. Even though the authorization shows it was made that day. No where on their paper statement does it say it has to be by a certain time on the due date. once again today I am contacting capital one about late fees on XXXX statements and I 'm getting the same run-around again. They are only willing to waive XXXX of the late fees. My point in the past is if I had mailed a check/money order dated or post-marked the due date, it would be accepted but my making a online payment ( which is faster ), is not acceptable for that date unless its ' by a certain time. None of my other credit card companies do this. I dont ' mind late fees if my payment action is actually late, not on the due date. This I mind and getting tired of keeping track of something that I ca n't just pick up the statement and see it in writing.

Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
I have attempted various times in calling Capital One CC company to reduce APR of 24.40 % to a more reasonable rate. I can not believe government can allow CC scams with 0 % introductory only to find out once purchases are made and years goes by they are allowed to raise to 24.40 % which causes any minimum payments made are mostly interest. This unethical allowed practice is worse loan sharks because your credit rating is directly affected. With Goverment interest rates at all time low, how is this not regulated to disallow CC charging outrageous rates. 
In current COViD-19 Pandemic Fed Government advising to contact CC companies to reduce rates to assist in payments during this time. CaptialOne is NOT willing to change or do anything other that defer one month payment but still acruing interest, which does not help what so ever, just another way for CapitalOne to make additional money on deferred payment. 
Payments going to all these high interest CC companies severely affect usable income for other needs to survive. 
Some interest caps need to be put in place based on income levels to assist families struggling and need to have access to credit card use. 
Hope someone steps up and does right thing to help families that are being taken advantage of.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint:
I am XXXX status of approved XXXX and Pending XXXX ( adjustment of status ) with Employment Authorization Document. 

I applied for mortgage loan and explained my XXXX status and ask them to check it even before they run my credit, and they checked it with their underwriter andsaid there is no problem, I sent all my documents and got the pre-approval letter and found a house, after I paid for appraisal and all the other parts of it I got conditional Approval letter from them. As XXXX of the last steps I was supposed to open a checking account to get extra discount on my interest rate and they said they ca n't open the account online and I have to go with higher interest rate. When I said I can fly to a branch ( the closest is in XXXX, CO ) they said that will work. I flew there and submitted all my documents and returned to XXXX. After a couple of days they said not only I ca n't have a checking account with them but also my loan is denied. The reason they gave me is my XXXX status, what they knew from the beginning. They say because I am from XXXX I have to either have a XXXX or have XXXX despite what they told me in he middle of the process that if I am transitioning from XXXX to XXXX I have to have the approval letter of my XXXX ( which I have and provided to them ) along with my Employment authorization Document and a letter from my employer, I provided all of them. 
It is obvious if I had not applied for checking account and had accepted the higher interest rate this had not happened. 
Their XXXX department has made this decision as far as I could understand. 

The excuse they gave me was obvious to them from the start and they just played with me and I feel I am being discriminated based on my national origin which is against the Fair Housing Act. And this whole thing has made lots of punitive damage to me and my family.
