Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
Due to a loss of my job and other financial issues my mortgage company at the time XXXX began the foreclosure process on me. On XXXX XXXX XXXX I spoke with XXXX at XXXX XXXX in the Loss Mitigation dept. she said we could do a trial payment for 3 months, then it will be reviewed for a loan mod. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I spoke with XXXX at XXXX, she said our loan modification was denied and for us not to make anymore payments. 
In XXXX of XXXX we discovered we might have a sinkhole on our property and filed a claim with our XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They did a survey of our property with special X-ray machines and stated we did n't have a sinkhole, our attorney hired a specialist who had a lot of questions about their reports. After a lengthy process we finally settled out of court in XXXX of XXXX and received a settlement check for {$160000.00} Our attorney XXXX XXXX advised us to not sign the check and send it into XXXX without having some type of signed written agreement on how it would be split up, he had a previous client with the same issue that we had and XXXX took the check and paid off his mortgage and did not leave the client enough money to repair the house. 
. Our new attorney XXXX XXXX was hired and he contacted XXXX to try to get an agreement on how to handle the division of the check ( he had to file an XXXX XXXX ), so that we could avoid racking up late fees on our mortgage etc. We had numerous hearings with the Honorable Judge XXXX XXXX, he would ask XXXX/SPS ( at some point XXXX sold or transferred our mortgage to SPS ). to bring someone to the hearing with the authority to make a decision on this and they never would, ( this happened quite a few times.So the case kept getting postponed meanwhile our late fees and interest kept adding up. 
Finally we agreed on the division of the check in XXXX XXXX ( see attached court documents ). We finally got the house fixed and moved back in on XXXX of XXXX. The problem with this is we had to come up with {$13000.00} of our own money to cover our expense when we moved out of the house for repairs. Per the joint stipulation agreement we were to be out of the house for 3 months and it would be finished and we would move back in. The delay by XXXX / SPS in getting the check to the XXXX caused the delays that cost us the $ XXXXXXXXOn XXXX/XXXX/XXXX we hired a new attorney XXXX out of XXXX Florida . 

In late XXXX XXXX I received a letter from SPS dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX that we have been approved for a HAMP Tier 1 Trial Modification, the problem is they have made several errors in there calculations of what my home is worth and my income. 

XXXX/SPS has repeatedly disregarded what the judge in our case ordered and was never held accountable to this.

Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
BB & T failed to alert me that my account was accumulating fees from authorized transactions for more than XXXX week resulting in {$900.00} in overdrafts and other fees. Each dispute I made for these fees was ultimately denied by BB & T and I was left to pay these fees on my own. After a month of being in the negative status, BB & T made an unauthorized transfer of {$900.00} from my savings to my checking account to cover these fees. I set up arrangements to pay off the fees before the stated deadline, however, the bank transferred the money from my savings account without my permission a full XXXX weeks prior. I called in to speak with several representatives and a XXXX, who advised that they were in their right to make this transfer without my permission. This seems very illegal.

Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint:
I have received late fee charges from Bank of America that are not legitimate. I 'm not say all fees from the life time of my account but there has been many of times where Bank of America has changed the order of my withdrawals to have me have 2-3 late fees instead of one late fee. example my first few charges will be for XXXX and XXXX dollar charges. then a charge for XXXX will come after. Instead of paying the first 3 charges in the order they come out the bank account Bank of America will change the order of the withdrawals to make more late fees. The last three fees I had in one day. I did speak to two supervisors and the second one took off one fee and I asked to have a manager to call me and he stated he would not take off the other fees. I asked to speak to the higher manager who was suppose to call me within 24-48 hours who never called .I do have alerts on my account that do not always work which Bank of America has given me late fees back in the past.

Complaint:
In reviewing my annual credit report, I noticed that there was a 30 day late reporting on my credit report from  Home Depot,  even though automatic payments had been setup by them and paid satisfactorily for years.     For several years now, each month on or around the  XXXX , automatic payments of {$150.00} were debited from my bank account to pay  Home Depot . These automatic payments were setup by a  Home  Depot Representative years ago, and would continue until my account was paid in full. I was absolutely shocked when I realized tha t Home Depot h ad reported negatively on my credit report and had not attempted to contact me regarding the remaining balance of {$11.00}.     I contac ted Home Depot to  inquire and to attempt to resolve the reporting discrepancy and I was told that the final payment for {$11.00} had not been debited from my account because their system was only setup to take the monthly payment amount and that since my balance was only {$11.00}, their system would not make the payment. When I asked why they did n't contact me or send a letter,  (  which they 're required to do before reporting negatively ) the representative simply stated that a generic letter was sent to me about my account being paid off, but nothing to warn me of the potential late payment or that a negative report would occur. In addition, I was told that there was no attempt to contact me and that the company decided to simply charge off the remaining balance, after years of satisfactory, on-time payments.     I made several different calls t o Home Depot,  I was transferred many times and my dispute has been escalated to various different managers in different positions and neither has accepted their error or agreed to correct it.  XXXX  at  XXXX  was the las t manager t hat I spoke to regarding this reporting error and she is not returning my calls. I spoke with her initially months ago, she then called to gather additional information from me and now I have left  two  messages for her, with no response.

Complaint:
For the past 4 months, my mortgage company has returned payments for XXXX accounts I have with them because there was a past due amount that I did n't know about and therefore my payments were not enough to cover. I spoke with a rep with the mortgage company on XXXX XXXX to try to come up with a plan to get caught up. We set up a 5 month payment plan, verified the first payment amount, and he made sure I had the receive code to send the first payments through verified funds. When I was having trouble sending the payments, I called OCWEN and was told that the payment plan was not actually set up, that a manager call back was scheduled ( that I was not told about ) and that both properties are now in foreclosure status. In addition, there has been someone going to the property I rent out and harassing my tenant, telling her about the mortgage being behind, and telling her they would go out there every month until the debt was paid.

I am repaying my loans under th e Public Service Loan Forgiveness  program and was trying to get information from my lender on which plan would offer me the lowest monthly payments while still qualifying for PSLF.     In  XXXX , I was told by a Fedloan Servicing representative that my best option would be to go on a standard repayment plan, rather than an income-driven plan. I was told my monthly payments would be {$570.00} and that those payments would qualify for PSLF.     When I received the terms of my new plan, the monthly payment was {$960.00} and the payments will not count toward  PSLF be cause I was placed on  a 128-month repay ment plan instead of a  120-month  repayment plan.     I contacted the company and they said they would attempt to resolve the issue withi n 10-14 da ys. However, even in the best-case scenario, in which I receive the {$570.00} payment initially promised, I will have to make the higher payment of {$960.00} in  XXXX     2017 an d that payment will not qualify for PSLF.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
I have had problems with Ocwen for many years ( I filed previous complaints against them in past years through the CFPB ) and once again I am turning to the CFPB to help me.     I recently received a monthly statement that listed that I owed {$1300.00}. I paid this amount promptly. I then received a statement a few days later that stated I owed {$1700.00}, which reflected past due fees/other charges in the amount of {$450.00}. Once again, I quickly made the difference in payment that I paid previously to what was listed on the new statement. A few days later, I received yet another statement that stated I owed {$1600.00} due the next month which includes foreclosure costs and legal service fees. I can see how consumers could be forced into default due to the confusing and inaccurate servicing by Ocwen.     This loan was originated in  XXXX  of  XXXX  and to date, I have never been in foreclosure nor have I ever been late. I called Ocwens customer service and explained this and was told we would not list a foreclosure cost fee if the loan was not at one point in foreclosure.     I did file bankruptcy in  XXXX  of  XXXX  and recently completed my 60 month Chapter  XXXX . However as I mentioned above, I have always paid my mortgage ( even during my bankruptcy as my plan called for mortgage to be paid outside of bankruptcy ) and have never been late. Therefore there should not have been fees assessed due to the bankruptcy as I included the continued payment of my mortgage when my Chapter  XXXX  plan was filed and approved and at no point was my loan ever in default ( which would prompt a foreclosure cost or legal fee ).     I sent my payment to pay the full amount owed as I do not want to be in default or late, however I demand a refund of the {$450.00} foreclosure fee/legal filing services that I was charged.     Please help me obtain a refund of this unwarranted fee.     Thank you,  XXXX   XXXX
