Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I began to pay extra toward the Principal Deferred Balance.  Since then, I have paid a total of {$2000.00} and Wells Fargo has failed to deducted the paid amounts from the Deferred Balance. Or in the alternative, Wells Fargo has also failed to deduct the extra payments from the 'Outstanding Principal Balance '', which would have caused a recalculation of the 'total ' owed and a new monthly payment amount would be less. I have addressed the credit several times and Wells Fargo has refused to credit my account accordingly. In fact, Wells Fargo has not shown to which balance the extra funds have been applied to. Rather, Wells Fargo has shown that making extra payments toward the Deferred Balance is not allowed and yet it refuses to refund my extra payments that I have made. My contract does not forbid me from making extra payments toward the 'Outstanding Principal Balance '. Wells Fargo has accepted by extra payments that were clearly marked " Principal '' and has failed and refused to deduct said amounts from the total balance. Wells Fargo has not applied the extra payments toward any balance and it has not given my account credit, it has not recalculated the total due nor has it recalculated my monthly payment. Instead, it has taken my money and it continues to charge me the same interest rate and amount amounts in spite of the lesser total balance that was caused by the additional payments. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, once again, Wells Fargo refused to apply credit for the payments, readjust the balance and give me credit for the interest it charges since XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and in the alternative has refused to refund my money.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
I filed for a debt relief program through XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX 2015. Two of the credit cards I owed at the time were from XXXX XXXX XXXX. One of these credit cards were accepted by XXXX XXXX for a single debt relief payment and the other one for 6 payments for less than the value owed. The payments were made according to the agreed upon payment schedules and I have proof from XXXX XXXX XXXX of the payments ( see attached document ). However, XXXX XXXX refused to discharge these cards and have sold the account to Portfolio Recovery Associates who call me constantly trying to recover the full payment owed. They say according to their records no payments were made and they do n't care if an agreement was made between XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. They continue to say that I owe them full amount because they now own the debt. These calls have been occurring 4-5 times a day for the past 6 months. They have also recently published their " fictitious debt '' to my credit report last month. I need them to be stopped and my credit, which I am working hard to improve, corrected. Please help!!!!

Complaint:
REQUEST FOR FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORT!!! 
I believe that each consumer reporting agency has invalidated the true spirit of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Act first established XX/XX/2003 was intended to establish a plan whereas common American citizens could obtain a copy of their credit reports at least once a year free of charge. Since each credit reporting agency now has marketing divisions such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and XXXX  XXXX, the automation system to obtain the free annual reports is looped into an information request to steer citizens into additional product offers that are excessive and unnecessary. Even though I may have received an approval of an updated credit report from either XXXX, Trans Union or XXXX  respectively, it is unfair that I need to do a mail request since I can submit my personal information through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) portal. I believe that since the CFPB is the sole responsible oversight party of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, its imperative that any additional solicitation of information from the credit bureaus should be blocked permanently. I along with any other citizen should receive a free credit report upon request. The credit reporting agencies are an important aspect of the national banking system to properly function, but the current aggressive marketing campaign soliciting citizens for an arbitrary FICO score has gone too far, including but not limited to XXXX  XXXX. We must return to a common ground that is fair for all consumers in the United States, and we must be able to request additional marketing on our own terms. Accordingly, I am making a request for a free credit report with confirmation number to my attached email address. Thank you.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
On Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with XXXX XXXX from the Executive Office of Wells Fargo in reference to the investigation and complaints. <P/>My main concern now is that it took over seven- ( 7 ) months to inform me that the appeal was not even done because Wells Fargo states that it was not received in their office prior to the TWENTY- ( 20 ) days for review. <P/>I submitted a USPS receipt from the certified mail that I sent, date and time stamped onXX/XX/XXXX XXXX the twentieth day ). XXXX XXXX informed me that they did not receive it byXX/XX/XXXX within the twenty day time frame. I informed XXXX XXXX that the appeal was sent within the time frame and she replied that Wells Fargo must receive it by the twentieth day to be reviewed immediately and that it violated their rules if it was sent by the twentieth day. <P/>In conclusion, I believe that Wells Fargo did a bias investigation and worked around the evidence that I have to provide the CFPB with their conclusion.

Complaint:
I advised this company that the landlord under Texas law has failed to provide what is required by law. If the landlord has failed to either provide me with the security deposit or an itemized list of deductions within thirty days from moving out, the law may allow me to collect {$100.00}, three times the amount of the security deposit wrongly withheld, court costs, and attorney 's fees. If the landlord improperly made deductions from the deposit I will also have the opportunity to obtain the same damages and penalties. Section 92.109, Texas Property Code. Here the landlord has acted in bad faith, and therefore the landlord by law can not make any deductions to the deposit whether or not I damaged the premises. Section 92.109 ( b ), Texas Property Code. Additionally, I will be filing a lawsuit against this credit collection company tactics to immediately report a debt to all three credit bureaus for a debt I do not owe and their communication tactics and constant harassment.
