State: GA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
For more than two years, I have submitted documentation several times to Exuifax with information that substantially proves XXXX XXXX XXXX, in fact, did not close my loan, it was not included in my chapter XXXX and that I am still paying on this loan that began in XXXX of 2016. 

I was involved in Chapter XXXX, I am not a lawyer, my lawyer advised me that a reaffirmation was not needed, even though she used one for my home water softener and filtration system. ( see enclosed ) Since Chapter XXXX, XXXX  XXXX XXXX stop reporting my payments and I am not getting the benefit of ownership. My credit score is really bad considering I have not failed to pay monthly. 

The credit reports reflect that the loan is closed and was part of Chapter XXXX. I find this erroneous because the account number is the same since payment one, the same on the credit report, the same on monthly payments, escrow, Tax, and Interest statements, all communication sent by XXXX  XXXX XXXX. 

I am not a lawyer, she did not file one, however, this loan is not closed, every month payment is made. How does this company get to take my money, not report and I get no credit for owning a home, and my credit does not improve? 

The reaffirmation is an excuse not to report, in my loan modification I signed a promissory note to XXXX  XXXX XXXX to pay $ XXXX for the next thirty years and a second note for a balloon payment at the end of that for another XXXX and if all fails on my part they are guaranteed to get the house ; which is why I fail to see why it is necessary for this kind of retribution.

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: NY
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint:
Two years ago XXXX, we applied for the First Home Club savings program through M & T and were subsequently approved by the representative we worked with ( who is no longer an M & T employee ). Since then, we have successfully completed the program, making the monthly payments on time, and have completed the required counseling sessions. At this point, we have met with our loan officer several times, had all of our documentation in order, and successfully procured a mortgage loan. We were informed yesterday of a condition of the First Home Club program that would have disqualified us from being accepted into the program ( One of us was a XXXX within 6 months of enrolling ), yet M & T approved us anyway. We were never shown or had access to a document that listed this condition, yet the representative that we worked with, filled it out for us, marking that we met this condition, without confirming with us if that was accurate. He had us sign what turned out to be the XXXX page of that document, and never showed us or had us initial the XXXX page. As a result, now that we 're ready to move forward with our mortgage, we were told by M & T that it was very unlikely that FHC would approve us for the grant that would give us an additional {$8000.00} toward closing costs. We were told by M & T that there was little they could do, despite the mistake being theirs.

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

Complaint:
Wells Fargo keeps avoiding the issue. The most important aspect of deciding a Reverse Mortgage is understanding all that is involved in such an intricate complicated form of a home mortgage. They continue to produce everything other that the most crucial counseling documents such as, an approved Office of Elder Affairs Counselor, an opt in document, face to face counseling with an APPROVED Elder Affairs. The Counseling certificate that Wells Fargo has produced is not even valid in Massachusetts.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Other bank product/service
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint:
I have a contract with Wells Fargo Bank for an automobile loan and have been making more than the required payment sine day XXXX XXXX 2013 ). My monthly payment is made automatically through my online banking account and has never been late. However, every once in a while I get a monthly statement for more than the amount on the contract, but it is not due for some XXXX to three months later while the current overpayment is still being made automatically every month through my bank. It appears that Wells Fargo is not taking the money from my monthly overpayment and applying it to the principal, but is applying the excess amount to future payments and holding those funds until that payment is due thusly, I am paying interest on the remaining balance of the loan and not the decreasing balance if they were to apply the excess payment to the principal loan balance. This seems highly unethical to hold my money and wait for a payment to be due rather than applying it to the principal balance every month and decreasing the monthly amount that I am paying interest on. There is no place on the monthly statement to fill in any amount of additional principal included in the payment. Thank you ...
