Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: LA
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Personal line of credit
Issue: Problem when making payments

Complaint:
Something that has happened to me makes me realize what can go wrong with Buy Now, Pay Later ( BNPL ) credit products : I am getting billed {$1800.00} for a fridge I do not have and there is no central point of responsibility in these BNPL schemes to fix the problem. 

I purchased a fridge from XXXX. XXXX on a BNPL scheme. I even bought the extended warranty. 

The fridge came with a broken cooling mechanism and could not get below 75 degrees. So, I invoked the warranty and found out I was really dealing with Summit Appliance because that is who made the model of the fridge I purchased. So far, so good. 

The fridge could not be repaired and so XXXX said they would process my claim for a full refund. I have that in writing. I never heard anything more from XXXX. XXXX or XXXX although I did call to confirm that my debt was erased. 

But now, I went to purchase a home and, like many Americans, find that BrandSource, which is the BNPL third party payment merchant, says I owe the full amount for the fridge. BrandSource is owned by Citi. Before taking up the matter with the credit reporting bureaus, I went to BrandSource and explained why I do not owe the charge and frankly, am surprised I even still have an account with them at all. 

BrandSource and Citi would not let me forward them the email trail where I have in writing that my debt was forgiven by XXXX  XXXX. Instead of a low-cost email paper trail, they want me to print or fax my emails. Fax? I dont have a printer either. BrandSource also said the dispute could take 6-9 months to resolve by Citi, all the while it is on my credit report and could mean hundreds or thousands of more over the life of a home loan. 

I kept pressing over the course of many frustrating phone calls ( and you can not call Citis resolution department or BrandSources consumer payment department directly, let alone try to communicate with both parts of the company at the same time ). Finally, BrandSource ( Citi ) told me that they can not resolve the dispute at all because they do not have the records from XXXX. XXXX and that they consider my case closed. 

So, me, a consumer, is stuck trying to resolve a business-to-business records problem involving XXXX. XXXX, XXXX XXXX, BrandSource, and Citi. 

I am not empowered to resolve the problems in their business-to-business relationships and the peons they employ at customer service are not really empowered either. 

But Im still getting an {$1800.00} bill for a fridge which I do not have as well as a further unknown but potentially more costly hit on my credit reportId also like to buy a car My experience demonstrates the danger of getting that credit from a BNPL relationship because there is no central point of responsibility to the consumer if the goods are never delivered as promised.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint:
Approximately 2 months ago our family members and in-laws began receiving telephone calls from a man identifying himself as XXXX XXXX on their personal and private, never publicly published numbers. This included business telephone numbers of cell phones for inter-company use. The man would ask for a family member by first name as if he were an old friend, he refused to provide his true name and company he worked for. He was extremely rude and hung up on family members who continued to ask for this information. He also threatened to have his telephone number blocked if we continued to call him and ask for this general information because he " did n't have business with us. '' After our own investigation, we discovered this man works for CU Recovery, a debt collector in Minnesota. Our family member also recently received a forwarded letter from CU Recovery stating they were attempting to collect over {$8000.00} worth of debt from an auto loan that is over 15 years old, no longer collectible or owed by all applicable state and federal laws, and the vehicle was repossessed and resold at auction from this family member over 15 years ago.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
My payments to OCWEN are supposed to include tax payments to XXXX and insurance payments. A few months back I received notice from the insurance company that my policy had been cancelled due to lack of payment even though all my payments to OCWEN have been on time. Then I found out that OCWEN purchased another policy for me that was more than double the cost of the policy they let expire. I have since found another insurance policy for a much more reasonable price and I have paid in full for the entire year. Now the issue is after phone calls and letters, OCWEN will not readjust my escrow payment so I am still paying a higher price they originally calculated. I never chose OCWEN, this company was forced on me When Indy Mac sold my original loan.

Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
After realizing that my rescission rights were still effective due to the fact that my loan has not yet been consummated under the laws of California, I sent Ocwen Loan Servicing , LLC a letter rescinding my loan on XXXX XXXX, 2015. The letter was mailed to Ocwen Loan Servicing , LLC on XXXX XXXX, 2015 and received by them on XXXX XXXX, 2015. I have attached a copy of the letter as well as the follow up Notice of Non-Compliance. I was fully prepared for Ocwen Loan Servicing LLC to file a lawsuit against me to challenge the notice of rescission, but they did not within the XXXX day statutory period provided under the Federal Truth In Lending Act. Under the Act, the creditor 's interest in the property is " automatically negated regardless of its status and whether or not it was recorded or perfected ''. Under the Act, Ocwen Loan Servicing , LLC had XXXX days from XXXX XXXX, 2015 to challenge my Notice of Rescission by filing a lawsuit against me. They have failed to take any action regarding my Notice of Rescission in any way. Because of their failure to challenge the rescission, they have forever waived any and all defenses to my rescission. Under the Act, Ocwen is now in violation of the law, and they are blatantly disregarding my loan rescission rights. As previously mentioned and attached, I have sent them a letter of non-compliance and have requested they cancel the sale date that is scheduled on my home Wednesday, XXXX XXXX, 2015 and that they forward me a release and or a reconveyance as required under the statute. I am filing this complaint to inform the CFPB that Ocwen Loan Servicing , LLC continues to ignore the law and that they are in violation of a Federal Act. Their actions are in direct violation of federal and state laws. I request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take some kind of disciplinary action against Ocwen for their blatant disregard for the law and for attempting to pursue a foreclosure on a deed of trust that has been canceled by operation of law. I am hoping with your interaction, Ocwen will choose to abide by the Act and take the necessary steps that is required of them by law.

I took out a loan from XXXX Boulevard Cash '' back in XXXX 2015. Unfortunately, due to circumstances, I have not been able to re-pay the loan. While I understand this is a debt that must be paid, I can not make the payments right now. I have communicated that to the debt collector " XXXX XXXX '' who calls me on a weekly basis to follow-up with my status. Back in XXXX 2015, XXXX XXXX started calling my work daily and would give information to my colleagues. Since I work at a XXXX, the debt collection calls at work were inappropriate and I contacted Boulevard Cash to stop calling me at work. They agreed to remove my work phone number. However, today, I received a voicemail from Boulevard Cash at my work number. XXXX XXXX was following up on the same debt that has been pending with Boulevard Cash. I have asked for him to provide me IN WRITING with the debts that are owed. He stated on XXXX different occasions that he would and I sent an e-mail to " XXXX XXXX '' to give me the debts in writing as well, with no luck. I would like Boulevard Cash to be made aware that they CAN NOT call me at my work number. The only number that I should be contacted at is my cell phone number, which is the number they already have on file : XXXX. Thank you.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
Ocwen Loan servicing LLC took over our mortgage from IndyMac in XXXX of XXXX. IndyMac took our automated payment out on the XXXX of the month instead of the XXXX as scheduled causing an overdraft that snowballed. In the end we were {$980.00} overdrawn. 
We finally caught up 60 days later and began making our regular payments. We were assured that if we kept the account under 90 days late we would be fine. In XXXX of XXXX Ocwen put us on a modification plan without notice. I had turned down the modification earlier in the year as it added {$200.00} to our payment that we could not afford. In XXXX I sent the regular payment. It was returned at the end of the month for being less than the modification payment. This pushed us over the 90 day limit and Ocwen froze our account and would not accept any payment other than the full amount. 
In the interest of keeping our home we worked closely with Ocwen to bring the account current to no avail. In XXXX of this year we applied for a principal reduction through XXXX ( XXXX ) and were approved. In XXXX XXXX sent Ocwen {$27000.00} ( approx ) which Ocwen accepted and then sent us a notice that we were not eligible for their loan modification as we did not send all necessary documentation. We were then sent the monthly mortgage statement listing the XXXX payment and listing our new payment due on XXXX XXXX. We then received a new notice from Ocwen this month stating that our loan modification was approved and our payment was due on XXXX XXXX. 
I have made repeated calls to Ocwen and have gotten XXXX different quotes on which payment plan we have, the payment amount, and the due date. 
I also contacted Fannie Mae ( as Ocwen is their subsidiary ) for intervention and they have not returned my calls or made any move to correct the issues. 
Today ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) Ocwen called requesting the documents to approve the modification plan! 
Their incompetence is beyond belief and is causing me undue stress and anxiety.
