Complaint:
It is fact that I, the affiant, have tried to resolve this matter on numerous occasions with XXXX XXXX. They have continued to violate my consumer rights using my consumer credit to harass me for a total of {$3200.00} as well as blackmailing me stating they would harm my reputation if I did not comply which is illegal under 15 USC 1691 ( A ) ( 2 ) ( B ), 15 USC 1692J, 15 USC 1602 ( P ), 15 USC 1692B ( 2 ), 18 USC 873, and 15 USC 1692d. I have also asked them to produce the original instrument in which I have signed for this alleged debt and they could not provide it. They then closed and sold my account to another debt collector, XXXX XXXX, being in violation of 18 USC 798, 15 USC 1692c, 15 USC 1692D ( 4 ). I have tried to handle this with XXXX XXXX on the dates of XX/XX/21 and XX/XX/21 and have notified the credit bureaus. They continue to violate me with their negligent and willful behavior which has not only damaged my reputation with loan balances and late payments, causing not only my credit to be denied, but also made me lose income, caused mental anguish, and XXXX inhibiting my ability to properly take care on my baby.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
We did a loan modification back in 2008 circa with Wells Fargo due to financial hardship. And the modification period has ended recently and the interest rate increased to 6.5 % on our mortgage. The payment became too high for us to handle and with our current credit score ( XXXX ) we are not able to refinance. Our parents loan us XXXX  and we wanted to pay down the principle of our mortgage and recast our loan term in order to lower our monthly payment.
When we contacted Wells Fargo regarding this, they told us they can not approve our recast because we had previously done a loan modification on this mortgage. When we sign the loan modification, there were no verbal warnings nor papers telling us doing loan modification would effect our ability being recast even with us able to pay down over 60 % of the total amount owed.
So the goal for us is to pay down the loan and recast our term thus lower our monthly payment. We are not even asking wells fargo to lower our interest rate.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
After two years of being in Court and asking this bank to give me a modification they are simply not budging. I live in the property with my XXXX young kids. I work two jobs to provide my kids. The bank wants me to pay {$5400.00} every month which can go on forever. How can a bank ask you to pay that much knowing I have to raise my kids on my own and survive and pay for food and utilities. I am not getting child support from my ex-husband, He caused this mess but I have been trying to fix this. 

I do n't think XXXX XXXX XXXX is showing good faith knowing I paid them from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX {$5300.00} each month for a total of {$21000.00} my savings. So what am I suppose to do now. I have depleted my savings. I can pay a mortgage payment of XXXX but not XXXX. 

I am asking for some help to reason with this bank. You reached out to them last and asked them t resolve it but there resolution is giving me the same repayment plan of {$5300.00}. I am having a hard time understanding why nothing is being done to stop this bank from asking a single mom to pay so much to foreclose on her home in a few months. 

I 've done my part and proven to them I can do this. 

Thank you.

Complaint:
XXXX / XXXX XXXX XXXX Swiss Colony / XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX I saw this appear on my credit report. I mailed request for validation by mail ( with tracking number, it was delivered ). They never responded. After the time had past, I contacted XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, with a certified letter ( with tracking number, it was delivered ) explaining I had requested validation of the debt, as I had no idea what is was, and that the company had no responded. Apparently then the agencies contacted the company and the company told them the debt is valid but it is not. They are in violation of the law. XXXX removed the listing from my credit report. However it is still showing up on XXXX as XXXX XXXX and on XXXX as XXXX. I want this removed off my credit report on all three agencies immediately and also a letter from home visions saying I have no debt with them. If they ca n't show me a signature page, or and itemized statement, they have to remove this. It was listed as XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX report and XXXX XXXX on XXXX report, same address, but i have filed a separate complaint for XXXX XXXX  and XXXX.

Complaint:
I refer to Geminis letter dated XX/XX/2021, in relation to the above-captioned subject. In that letter, they declined my complaint several times. This is regarding a known scam, referenced by the FBI in their PSA ( attached ). Given my own commitment to sensible approaches to coping with situations of this nature, and my ( perhaps blind ) belief in the system, I had been optimistic for Geminis letter to deliver novel, practical, and helpful insights on the matter, which it summarily fails to do. I find it baffling and reprehensible that my money has been so egregiously misused in a fashion which violates their principles, which call me to defend my rights. ( Please check more in the letter I attached ) I also attached letters to the company and their responses. 

I also have the FBI formally engaged who are pursuing the matter.

Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email notification that my statement was available online. I was shocked to discover that I had exceeded my credit limit by approximate {$600.00}. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I reviewed my statement online and contacted Discover. To put this as succinctly as possible, there were a total of 17 transactions authorized beyond the credit limit. 

The first transaction exceeding the credit limit was on XX/XX/XXXX. Subsequently, an additional 16 transactions were authorized, including the final transaction pending on XX/XX/XXXX, the day I called in. 

Discover agreed not to charge an over limit fee, and also agreed they would not be charging an over limit fee in subsequent statements, under full knowledge that, if I only paid the minimum amount due, I would still be exceeding my credit limit by {$350.00} at the time of the discussion on XX/XX/XXXX. 

While it may be nice from a consumer standpoint, to not have been charged an over limit fee for a transaction that exceeds the credit limit, I find it incredibly excessive, and possibly abusive, that the company would continue to allow an addition 16 transactions to be authorized over the course of the next 3 weeks, resulting in a balance approximately {$600.00} above the credit limit. 

While I appreciate the company agreeing not to charge any over limit fee, I am concerned they may raise my interest rate, and perhaps more importantly, they have put me in a position of debt that I never had to be in. 

I feel that some type of penalty should be incurred for Discover 's practice in this matter. I fear that I may not be the only consumer dealing with this scenario, and I am filing this complaint to be proactive and make sure this practice does not continue.
