Complaint:
My wife died on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I filed a death certificate with the bank immediately thereafter. The bank has, recently, been calling me asking to speak to her. When I ask what it 's about they say " it 's confidential '' and refuse to give me even any general information, i.e. 'it 's a security fraud ', or, 'we 're checking on a check that 's been submitted ''. Now they have closed MY XXXX main accounts,XXXX & XXXX ( my SS check goes to this accoount ), for no legitimate reason, and removed OVER {$270000.00} on or around XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. They refuse to reopen my accounts and have not returned my money. I was told on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX that XXXX check was " overnighted '' to me. As of today I have n't received anything and I have spent almost XXXX hours and XXXX phone calls to no avail. This is outrageous! My credit is being affected, not to mention all the checks I sent to pay bills which are being NSF 'd.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: WA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
This is a complaint about Ocwen Loan Servicing. I started the process of loan modification XX/XX/XXXX. The process was finalized XX/XX/XXXX. This is 4 months later than when they told me it would be finalized. During the process I made every monthly payment agreed upon. In XXXX I received a statement stating my next payment was due XX/XX/XXXX. I called to verify this date. I was assured everything was set. I made on time payments XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. Two weeks after my due date in XXXX I received a call saying I was a month behind. This made no sense since I had all the statements saying I was not behind and was paying on time. I requested a work order to figure out what happened. The person who called me could not give me a reason why I had XXXX statements in XXXX that said different things. After they investigated they realized there was an error in funds being transferred etc ( something I do n't really understand ) during the loan modification process and basically I was just a month behind. I explained I could not pay an extra mortgage payment. I 'm on tight budget hence my decision to do a loan modification in the first place. They did not care. Not their problem even though they created it. I am now trying to catch up so I 'm no longer behind and ca n't pay other bills. They are now charging me late fees which makes it harder for me to catch up and my credit score has been damaged. Also almost immediately after just finding out I was supposedly behind I started receiving letters threatening foreclosure.

Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX ) state in a letter to me that they would " verify the charges I was disputing and select a final course of action. '' At that time, my balance owing was {$270.00}, with the " amount due balance of {$170.00}. '' XXXX XXXX had taken over as XXXX 's credit card provider, from XXXX on Acct. XXXX. On their XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX statement, I owed {$140.00}. XXXX did not inform me in writing that they were taking over servicing all XXXX accounts and I immediately cancelled my XXXX XXXX card! XXXX XXXX never showed this account as cancelled, continued to charge monthly interest on it, despite my numerous attempts to contact them, both in writing and by phone, until my fake " balance was {$350.00} and had been sold to a company called LVNV Funding of Nevada, whose lies claim I began this account on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. This account has remained on my credit report with the XXXX preposterously unregulated " Reporting Agencies '' to this day, forcing me to miss receiving a loan from XXXX XXXX, a company with whom I had an exceptional relationship, but due to this one payment I do not owe to LVNV Funding, I was forced to get my auto loan at a much higher rate than the " XXXX '' rate XXXX XXXX offered and have been denied credit numerous times since. I am currently XXXX years old, collect Social Security of $ XXXX/month and can ill afford to pay more for basics such as decent transportation AND my good name restored, without relying on expensive Credit Consulting Services. 

Please insist that these lying creeps at LVNV Funding ( who also launched a daily collection call campaign against me in XX/XX/XXXX, close this account, as requested in XX/XX/XXXX, before it was " sold '' to phantom collection agencies and took on a new life, all derogatory to me. 

Only your organization can help, since this company is expert at contorting the truth, fears no legal measures to cease and desist their fraud and can only ( finally ) be muzzled by you! 

Thank you.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX continues to report to Equifax wrongly. I have paid {$1000.00} on XX/XX/2022, {$1000.00} on XX/XX/2022, {$1000.00} on XX/XX/2022, and {$1500.00} on XX/XX/2022 ; however, they are not reporting my current balance, which is {$7400.00} as of XX/XX/2022. However, they have sent me a monthly statement verifying that. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX reported my balance as {$12000.00}, according to Equifax. Falsely lying about the fact that I have reduced my balance by over {$4900.00}. When I called them on XX/XX/2022, number:XXXX, they told me they report monthly to the credit bureaus on the XXXX. 

I have called Equifax directly, and they stated they had not received any report from XXXX XXXX since XXXX. I have obtained my free yearly credit reports as of XXXX XXXX, and all the credit bureaus have a report from XXXX XXXX which shows a {$12000.00} balance instead of {$7400.00}. 

This impedes my chance of buying a house and showing my real debt to income it.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
I have a mortgage that is currently being services by Sterns Lending/Loan Care. I went on line on XXXX/XXXX/2015 to make my mortgage payment only to find out that my payment had increased by almost {$400.00}. I called Sterns and was told that my mortgage insurance was doubled on my FHA loan in error after an account analysis had been done. They advised that they would do another account analysis that would take two weeks and fix the issue. I was told I would n't be charged late fees because of their error. I checked every day up until XXXX to see when my payment was corrected. On XXXX when I checked my payment was changed but still much higher than the mortgage payment that I qualified for and had been paying. They said the notes in the system were due to a shortage in my escrow account. I was issued a REFUND on my escrow overage less than two months prior to this happening ... .now I have a shortage? I asked why I as given a refund and now they are increasing my payment beyond what I qualified for or wanted. After being on hold for 30 minutes I was told by the representative that neither her or the manager could figure out why my payment had increased and that I needed to just make my payment. I went online to make my payment so that my credit would n't be adversely affected and I was charged the late fee that I was told would be waived due to their error.

Complaint:
I purchased my certified pre-owned vehicle from a reputable BMW dealership in XXXX, 2014.

I have tried to deal with BMW but I feel like I 'm being pushed to the side and that they are not concerned with the serious safety issue this vehicle poses. I need help because I do not want to get into serious injury or worse because of the factory vehicle deficiencies.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NJ
Product: Credit card
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint:
While contacting Barclays to activate my rewards, the IVR stated that I had a payment due. Knowing that I had a payment posted today, I contacted their customer service at XXXX. The first man I spoke to informed me that they had not yet posted my payment and that it would take 2 business days to post. I asked if they would be effective dating the payment and he said no. I asked him if he was sure because they are required post my payment with the effective date as of when they receive my money. He again said no. He said their policy was 2 business days. I told him that they can not continue to charge me or any other customer interest if they already have my money. I asked to speak to a supervisor. After waiting on hold for XXXX, his Supervisor XXXX got on the phone. I asked her the same question, since you received my money today, XXXX/XXXX/16, will you be effective dating my payment. She too said no, that their policy was that it would not be posted for 2 business days. I again said that that is not right. You have my money and you can not charge me interest from today XXXX ( Friday ) until two business days next week ( Tuesday. ) I told her that is not acceptable and that I would be filing a complaint on the CFPB website. She told me to call back in two business days to verify the money was received. I told her I know the money was received by Barclays. I have a mobile confirmation and my bank also confirmed. She tried to say that my bank had not yet sent the money which was not accurate. She said that if I paid it on the Barclay 's website I would have received credit today but since I sent the funds electronically from my bank, it would take 2 business days. I told her that is not fair and they are still obligated to effective date my payment today XXXX/XXXX/16 regardless of when they post it because they had my money today. I have confirmation the money was received by Barclays today XXXX/XXXX/16 and it was not posted to my account. When I called my bank, they said this was not the first complaint that they have had about Barclays. I would like a full audit of my account and an interest credit from Barclays for every payment that they have held my funds for two business days. I would also like interest on the interest that I was overcharged. I would like all prior payments effective dated the day they received my money.
