The funds for the savings account ( {$5000.00} ) were never returned. 
I have contacted Citizens multiple times via chat, phone, and in person without resolution and am told, " We have no record of your account, so were are unable to help you ''.

We I called to speak to a supervisor, Iwas on hold for over 1 hour, connected and then was hung up on.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: ID
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
We were able to get into a repayment plan with PHH after sending them XXXX in XXXX. We made our first installment payment on XX/XX/XXXX, then the following month XXXX PHH claimed they got payment on the XXXX of XXXX. XXXX, our representative, fixed this, knowing our payment was received between XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX. He was able to get us back on the repayment plan. After asking if we could make payment by phone without getting charged, he said he would waive the fee. He processed our payment by phone in XXXX and XXXX without charging us. Yesterday, talking with XXXX, and he told me our account is no longer on a repayment plan. He assured me he emailed the proper person to get it fixed and that he would call me either that day, XX/XX/XXXX, or today. As of the time of this complaint, I left a message with XXXX to see what is happening so we can make a payment. 

I feel XXXX has been accepted to work with us and has accommodated us by not charging a fee to pay over the phone ( I still find this ridiculous that they can charge a price to pay the mortgage over the phone ). Mailing payments proves to be an archaic and unreliable method to pay PHH. The first two months, I mailed the check two weeks early from the first of the following month. 

The bottom line, I feel PHH is not a trustworthy company. However, since returning to a repayment plan, we have made our payments on time. Even more curious is that we never received an official repayment plan agreement, just an email from XXXX saying we are on one. 

We are stressed enough to make our budget work during the repayment plan, which, right now, we are paying XXXX per month. The regular mortgage payment is XXXX, and to have this added stress is not correct, especially since we have been doing what we should be doing. 

Bottom line I just feel PHH is not a trust worthy company we have made our payments on time since going back on a repayment plan. What is even more curious we never did receive an official repayment plan agreement just an email from XXXX saying we are on one.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint:
Bread XXXX/Comenity website had been down for at least 6 days at this point and there is no way to contact the company to get balances or make payments. The company is not communicating with customers as to what is happening other than by putting that the following : " We know the recent system outage has been frustrating and we will work to ensure a fair resolution for impacted customers. Were waiving late fees for customers whose payment due date fell on XX/XX/XXXX or XXXX, 2022. Those customers inability to make a payment will not affect their credit score.

You can now check your balance and make a payment online using XXXX. '' If you click on the link and follow the prompts ( assuming this loads ) it gives another error message and gives a link to Customer Care. This sends you to the Bread XXXX  page that asks you which card you are inquiring about and sends you back to the original site that you started at. It is very frustrating and all I want to do is make a payment on my card and check my balance. By the way the phone system just gives the same excuse as the website. It is like the person is reading from a script.

Sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Complaint:
I am a XXXX XXXX receiving monthly benefits thru a government provided XXXX XXXX ' debit card. I also have a personal checking account with JP Morgan Chase which is the source of my complaint. 
Having received my benefit from the government on XX/XX/2022 and properly deposited into my XXXX XXXX account, I proceeded to the JP Morgan Chase XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and attempted to make a withdrawl of {$240.00} ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account from the onsite ATM to be deposited into my personal JP Morgan Chase checking account. However, much to my dismay when the chute opened to dispense my cash nothing came out. I immediately rushed inside and explained the situation to a customer service representative who basically told me it was not their problem and contact XXXX XXXX for a resolution. ( it is impossible to contact XXXX XXXX for up to 2 weeks after benefits are disbursed due to the high volume ) My feeling is that Chase could and should have the ability to solve my problem as : -the machine is their property and on their premises -at some point that machine is 'balanced ' and the reconciliation sheet for that location would be off by {$240.00}. I mean, am I right or am I wrong? 
I put my life on the line for this country and I think I deserve a small measure of respect. Please try to help me!
