Sub-issue: Can't get flexible payment options

Complaint:
Greetings, I am writing to complain about my student loans. I understand that the plan is to allow students to go to school to further their education, but the interest rates are extremely high. I will never be able to get out of debt and being that I went to college and was n't informed of the 5 years of deferment that has sky rocketed my loans. I feel that this has caused not only me, but others like me, to be in debt. I had to do a deferment for 3 months and based on the loan amount, 3 months add an additional almost XXXX to my loan. I do n't even make 2000 a month after taxes and there is no way that I will ever be able to pay this. I was not able to finish college because my mother had a XXXX during my college term and I was not able to finish because I had to drop out to help her. I am not making excuses but we are getting charged for stuff that we can not afford. We go to college with guarantees in our mental states that we will get a job, but rather then get a job we are getting high student loan rates. How is that if we have XXXX in the bank, we do not receive higher interest rates then 1-2 %, but if we owe student loan rates, they are tripling the debt? I am forced to live in a undersized apartment with my wife because we are both overwhelmed in student loan debt. We will never be able to afford a house or anything because the interest rate alone on the student loans has guaranteed us a life of poverty. I have even tried the student loan forgiveness plans and still I have come out on the bottom. My last check was {$850.00}. My part of my car note was {$310.00}, I filled up my truck for {$35.00}, I paid my {$100.00} towards my car insurance, and paid {$160.00} to cover my cell phone bill and I have less then {$200.00} left for groceries, gas, and products for my home for a two week period. I am asking for anyone that can to understand and to help with any type of assistance or forgiveness. We are out here trying to live right and to do whatever it takes to be great people to our society and we are loosing the fight against our country.

Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
I have two issues with JPMorgan Chase Bank. ( 1 ) My uncle had a checking account at Chase with myself on the account as POA. No other name was on the account and it had no beneficiaries. My uncle died on XXXX XXXX, 2016. I am the executor of his estate. Because his daughter had tried to steal his estate some years earlier, he had by name " disinherited '' her in his will. I brought the will to my local Chase branch in XXXX XXXX, Utah, but the representative said that the Bank did not need a copy of the will. On XXXX XXXX, the daughter withdrew all the money ( {$26000.00} ) from the account at the branch in XXXX, CA. On XXXX XXXX, I discovered this withdrawal on the bank statement. I immediately reported the fraud to Chase Claims. Why would Chase give the money to someone not on the account and specifically excluded from my uncle 's will? The Claims department said that they would need to investigate, but required an affidavit from me before they could start. ( 2 ) On XXXX XXXX, I brought my completed affidavit to my local Chase branch. The branch faxed the affidavit to the Claims Department - their fax number is on the affidavit form. On XXXX XXXX, I telephoned Chase Claims. The rep said that the fax area would electronically attach the affidavit to the online claims and that the Claims department would not start investigating until the affidavit was visible. The rep said that the affidavit was not yet visible, but it could be " in the pile '' so that I should wait until Monday. On Monday XX/XX/XXXX, I telephoned again. The affidavit was still not attached. The Branch Manager at my local branch promised to re-fax and let me know. XXXX XXXX, Claims could still not see the affidavit, but " could not telephone '' the fax area to know if fax was there. I faxed the affidavit from a XXXX store. I escalated the issue. The branch manager was able to get the affidavit to XXXX XXXX in the executive area, who, he said, would help me. XXXX XXXX, Chase still does not have the affidavit. In summary, the Chase branch has faxed the affidavit at least four times and I have faxed it once over the last 14 days. ( FYI Chase refuses to accept an attachment to an email. ) Yet, Chase can not and will not try to find the faxes in the Claims fax area. Apparently, Chase does not have the capability to know if a fax was received. Chase refuses to start investigating until they have my affidavit, even though I did technically provide the affidavit to Chase in the branch. The possibility of recovering the money stolen from my uncle 's estate is reduced every day that passes. I am caught in the bind of Chase not being able to receive my affidavit no matter how hard I try and Chase refusing to investigate until they have my affidavit.

Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint:
I reported suspicious activity on my credit card in XXXX to chase bank also informing them that my card was missing. The suspicious activity was reported prior to the transaction clearing. Chase will not credit my account for the fraudulent charges to my account of {$8700.00} My Chase bill shows the following XXXX/XXXX/2016 Debit Card Transaction IMAGEXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX X XXXX ( EXCHG RTE ) + XXXX ( EXCHG RTE {$8700.00} First of all XXXX x XXXX = XXXX not XXXX Chase is now trying to use my confusion about the matter ( which mathematically makes no sense ) to say that I 'm somehow at fault, or changing my story because I originally though it to be an overcharge. 
Chase will not contact the merchant for proof of this transaction, even though there have been multiple fraudulent transactions reported from this merchant. I do not feel it is safe to use a debit card if this type of fraudulent activity is not protected.

State: NM
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
Due to a significant drop in income, I initiated an application for mortgage assistance/modification to Chase on XXXX/XXXX/15 - since that time I have repeatedly submitted document after document per their request. I have been told on FOUR occasions that they had all the information they needed to proceed with their underwriting process. During this 7 MONTH process, I have complied with all requests and continued to make my mortgage payments - even though I had to take money out of my retirement to make those payments. Chase employees have lied to me several times, and failed to come up with any modification to my loan. I have read online that this is a common complaint and has resulted in multiple lawsuits - which may be the only way to resolve this issue. Either Chase is lying that they even have a loan modification program, or they make the process so impossible that homeowners are forced into foreclosure.

Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money

Complaint:
Dear Sir or Madam : JP Morgan Chase NA does not let its customers transfer money on a recurring basis on or after a date of the month. The " transfer on '' date can only be the deliver on or before date. It can never be the " send on '' date. This means a consumer wanting to transfer their money to an external savings account risks overdraft because the " send on '' date is uncertain due to the random occurring weekends and holidays. Moreover, preventing customers from choosing the " send on '' date for transfers biases Chase Checking account holders towards having savings accounts with Chase to eliminate the overdraft issue due to randomly occurring " send on '' dates. 

I think this practice of not allowing customers to specify the dates of the month on or after their funds are sent may be an attempt by JP Morgan Chase NA to discourage external savings accounts and to boost overdraft fees. 

A consumer who selects a XXXX of the month transfer date on XX/XX/XXXX, for a recurring transfer will have the following next XXXX transfers. 

Send On Deliver ByXXXX/XXXX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXXIf that consumer gets paid on the XXXX of the month, she will have XXXX overdrafts if she does not have funds prior to getting paid to make the transfer. A Chase checking customer will have to select the transfer on date of the XXXX of the month to guarantee that none of the next XXXX transfers is sent on before the first of the month. Moreover, there is no guarantee that she will not have a transfer sent prior to the XXXX of the month after the first XXXX transactions leading to an overdraft. I believe that this might be a predatory way to set up transfers to maximize overdraft fees and scare JP Morgan Chase NA checking customers from using external savings accounts which likely offer better interest rates than Chase. 

Sincerely , XXXX 
XXXX, LA XXXX : ( XXXX ) XXXXXXXXXXXX

Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
I contacted my lender before my husband had XXXX that was predicted to leave him out of work for about 6 months. They said they could do a loan modification. They told me to stop paying my payment while I was working on modification or they would n't think I needed a modification if I could still pay the payment. Four months later, nothing is done so I contacted what I thought was a legitimate site that could help me work with my lender. I ended up getting scammed by the other company that and loosing {$5000.00} and barely stopped the foreclosure of my house one day before it was scheduled to be sold. Now my lender has raised my payment to include all delinquent payments and fees, as well as trashed my credit when I only did what they told me to do in the first place!!

Complaint:
They have n't actually threatened legal action but I am having trouble paying what I own. I am on a payment plan and I have been paying on time every month for at least 6-8 months. I have not received a bill in 2 months. Got a letter last month saying I was late. I paid it. Did not receive a bill this month. I attempted to pay online - their online service does n't work. I attempted to call the number on a bill stub from a previous bill - the message says they ca n't take the call due to unforeseen circumstances and hangs up. I called a different number on their website, spoke to someone who said he 'd transfer me to the correct department.. he sent me to the same number I had previously dialed and I got hung up on again. Tried calling back the number where I actuall talked to some one and 4 times I have been sent to voice mail. I left a voicemail, I filed a complaint on their website. I have not been contacted from them. I am working hard to raise my credit score and pay my debts but I am at my wits end with this company. There is n't even an address on the payment stub for me to send the payment without a current bill. How am I supposed to pay it when I ca n't get any cooperation from the 3rd party collection agency?? Being late with them will report negatively on my credit since a payment plan is in place.

Complaint:
About 10 years ago, my wife co-signed on a loan for my daughter. We borrowed {$27000.00}, Today, we owe {$47000.00}! We have made payments over the past 10 years, but there came a time when we could not make full payments. A couple of years back the agency we borrowed from sold our debt to a law firm that offered us an arrangement. We now pay {$50.00} a month. I am unemployed and currently have XXXX of my adult children and our granddaughter living with us. The added expenses make it very difficult to pay more. What I would like to know is why this law firm increases the balance of our loan principal by $ XXXX/month! I do n't own a home, have spent all our savings, and have no other assets to be able to offer a settlement. At this point, my wife and I ( I am XXXX ) will never be able to pay this loan off.

Complaint:
My mortgage company sent me a modification offer which I signed and accepted. My total monthly mortgage payment is supposed to be {$1600.00}. Caliber Home Loans just called me and told me that my total mortgage payment due is {$2300.00}. I asked why it was that much and they explained that they had forgot to add fees to mortgage modification so {$2300.00} is the amount due ; this can not be legal. Caliber Home Loans needs to waive any fees that they " forgot '' to add to our executed mortgage modification agreement. Caliber Home Loans took more than 90 days to approve my modification so they had plenty of time to check their work to make sure that they were offering me the right modification. I should not have to pay for Caliber Home Loans mistakes or for fees that I did not agree to and that were not part of our agreement.

Issue: Transaction issue

Complaint:
Pay Pal Credit switched an XXXX transaction without notifying me at the time of the transaction to Pay Pal Debit. I did not have the amount needed in my bank account to cover the purchase. Now my Pay Pal account is in a negative balance when I had believed my purchase on XXXX would be processed as Pay Pal Credit. I purchased several items at the same time believing they all were part of the Pay Pal Credit 's same as cash 6 month promotion but days later I learned that XXXX item was not included. When I called to ask them to change the transaction to a credit purchase they declined to take that action, saying that I was notified of the transaction being a debit purchase at the time of the purchase. I asked for the purchase screen or written documentation of this notification to me and any advanced notice of this business practice by Pay Pal but I was told to visit the legal section of Pal Pal 's website. I was not notified properly during the transaction regardless of any terms and conditions in the legal section of Pay Pal 's website .Apparently they told me that if a seller on XXXX does not accept Pay Pal Credit payments then I would have been notified. But since Pay Pal could not produce any written documentation that I understood this, this business practice is not fair and is deceptive in my opinion. I would not have made the purchase of the item if I had know it was not covered by Pay Pal credit.

Issue: Settlement process and costs

Complaint:
We have our house under contract to sell with a closing date of XXXX/XXXX/2015 and have been attempting to get a payoff from Greentree/Ditech since XXXX/XXXX/15. Through multiple emails and daily phone calls from the title company and ourselves, we can not get any resolution. Despite having names and employee ID numbers, when we reference these that person is always " not in this department '' or is unavailable. We were told on on XXXX/XXXX/15 that we would have a payoff no later that XXXX/XXXX/15. When the payoff did not arrive, we were told that we had never been told that, and in fact they had not had any prior conversation with us. We asked for them to pull up the copies of the recorded conversations, ( per their own statement before you talk to someone that all calls are recorded ) and not surprisingly, they do n't have access to them and they are only kept for a couple of days. Today 's story from Greentree/Ditech when we called them went as follows : " The request has been sent to the regional office and we are waiting for it to come back. ". The representative for Greentree/Ditech went on to say that they can not check on the status of the payoff at the regional office because they have no way to communicate with them. They have hundreds of regional offices and no way to call or email them. Sounds like nothing but avoiding to provide us with a payoff. Our mortgage is and has been current with them despite what feel like their attempts to have it in default. Amazingly they never putting the amount of payment due on the statement, if one comes at all. Previously when we foolishly mailed payments they were inevitably " misplaced '' and not posted right away which we learned very quickly so we then paid it over the phone with their company and happily paid a {$12.00} fee to know our payment would be posted immediately. Since then we have had it processed through our bank 's bill pay and have not had any posting problems. At this point we are having to pay {$880.00} to extend our buyers lock to hopefully not lose the deal over their refusal to furnish us with a payoff on our home.
