Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: LA
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
Regions Bank account ending in XXXX was opened in XXXX. Only XXXX overdraft/returned item fees were accrued in ten years. A cyber theft scare in XXXX XXXX forced me to change account numbers. Making it look as if it were a brand new account. From XXXX XXXX through XXXX XXXX {$1700.00} in fees alone were seized by Regions, or by other companies in direct connection to their actions. Deposits were not credited. Deposits could not be made due to repeated ATM failure. Debit cards disappearing in the mail. Debit cards sent with the wrong PIN number. Payments were returned resulting in late fees. My credit card account was closed when a payment was returned XXXX times in one month. My credit score dropped from XXXX in XXXX of XXXX to XXXX as of XXXX of XXXX due to account closures and having to use credit for many basic needs. 
Upon my thorough investigation I discovered several payments were not returned to the companies even though Regions said they were. Transactions were reprocessed, dropping the balance of the account so other charges did not clear and fees accumulated. Dropping the balance further and creating a snowball effect that I have yet to recover from. I have proof I made deposits that do not show up on the ledger in the form of processed checks from my clients. As well as proof of payments not being sent back. In XXXX XXXX I opted in to overdraft protection. I figured if I was being charged, I may as well not have the payments sent back to the companies. Nothing changed, however. Hoping it would stop charges from being processed, I opted out in XXXX of XXXX after {$1100.00} in fees were taken in seven weeks. Most being returned item fees. Even though I was opted in and depositing money every day. Several lengthy phone calls were made to Regions during this time to try to fix the situation. I was told to open a second account for personal charges or open a savings account. I did n't think another account was a reasonable option. No real solutions were presented. 
I am attaching a comprehensive folder of all transactions during the eight and a half months I held the account. The whole situation became completely overwhelming. I continued to pump money into the account daily hoping it would stop payments from being sent back. I was not able to pay my rent. I was forced to sell several of my personal possessions. As I am single and live alone I have no-one to help cover the necessities when I am not able to. This whole thing has nearly destroyed my life and I am still struggling to recover. Fighting to pay down the bills that accumulated while this was going on. I have yet to get back on my feet. The actual ramifications have yet to be completely revealed. New bills present themselves every day because I 'm struggling to pay off what occurred.

Complaint:
My Husband and I have entered into a contract to sell our home. We accepted an offer and relied on the information that the party was prequalified to purchase our home. The mortgage broker for the buyer did not perform due diligence and verify that they qualified for the loan prior to closing escrow. The day escrow was to close they found various red flags and now we stand to loose out on our deposit on the house we are trying to purchase. There must be remedies for this in regards to companies that prey on people and do not follow through.

Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint:
After reviewing my credit report, I came to realize that a debt was being reported twice by XXXX different companies, XXXX and Mainstreet Acquisitions. Original creditor is XXXX and that account 's date of first delinquency is XX/XX/XXXX. Mainstreet is not accurately reporting the date of first delinquency on my credit report and has the date opened as XX/XX/XXXX but is showing the collection as being reported XX/XX/XXXX. 

In conjunction with that, Mainstreet is reporting that my terms with them is " Terms : XXXX months '' on a paid, closed account despite me not having any signed contractual repayment terms with this company. This violates FDCPA 15 USC 1692e ( 2 ) ( A ) by falsely characterizing the account as " Terms : 1 Month '' on my credit reports. 

On my XXXX report, this collection is being reported as open. With respect to the " Type Of Account : Open Account '' notation on my XXXX report : I do not have any known type of agreement or contract in writing or otherwise with Mainstreet Acquisitions that creates or procures any type of " Open Account ''. A revolving line of credit is known as an " Open-ended account where there is a possibility on continuing transactions '', and being that this is a collection account, there can be no " open-ended '' account terms. Mainstreet Acquisitions violates FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) for knowingly reporting inaccurate information to a consumer reporting agency " Type Of Account : Open Account '' on my XXXX credit report. 

Mainstreet Acquisitions violates FDCPA 15 USC 1692e ( 8 ) by communicating credit information which is known or which should be known to be false, by reporting the account as " Type Of Account : Open Account '' on my XXXX credit report. 

I sent a letter to Mainstreet Acquisitions on XX/XX/XXXX requesting that the paid collection be removed from my credit reports with XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, but have never received a reply despite including my address, phone number, and email address. 
Also, I recently changed my name to XXXX XXXX after getting married but my credit reports with the incorrect information will show XXXX XXXX.

Complaint:
XXXX Collection agency ( Dynamic Recovery Solutions ) has called me while I was at work, on my work phone, which I understand is a violation of the FDCRA. This is very inconvenient and inappropriate, and my employer does not allow such personal calls. They are attempting to collect on a debt that has passed the statute of limitations in both my state and the state that I previously lived in. They are falsely claiming that I made a payment in 2010 in order to re-age my account, which I understand is also a violation. There have been no payments on this account ; enough time has passed to allow this account to drop off my credit report. It is not currently being reported on my credit reports to my knowledge, but I fear that they will.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: KY
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
My mortgage loan with Ditech was paid off on XX/XX/2016. At that time, Ditech was notified by the lender that I refinanced with that we had paid our annual property taxes and the loan was paid in full per the loan balance payoff statement provided by Ditech. I had paid the property taxes in full XX/XX/XXXX. I receive a short pay notice from Ditech for {$2600.00} dated XX/XX/2016. The short pay resulted because Ditech had also paid the property taxes. The letter from Ditech indicated that I would need to pay them an unreasonable interest rate of XXXX per day on {$2600.00} shortage. I IMMEDIATELY paid the {$2600.00} via wire transfer by my Title Insurance Company, to keep them from charging me such a corrupt, and criminal interest rate. Since my loan balance was paid, and the {$2600.00} was paid immediately, and Ditech received a refund on the property tax that they overpaid, they have owed me {$6000.00} since XX/XX/2016. Each time I call, the length of time it will take to receive my money gets longer and longer and longer. My local Sheriff 's office confirmed that they returned the overpayment to Ditech on XX/XX/2016. It is now nearly three months later and I have not received the {$6000.00} that Ditech owes me. The loan is closed, and paid in full. Ditech is holding my money, after paying a property tax bill that they were told not to pay. From the beginning, they have managed my escrow account in a very suspicious manner. Over collecting in the beginning, then sending a huge refund ( Approximately that same amount that I complained had been over collected ... nearly {$5000.00} ) after holding the overage for more than 6 months, then showing a shortage and increasing the monthly payment substantially. The individual is demanded to pay interest of nearly {$48.00} dollars a day on a {$2600.00} amount that resulted from their error, while the lender can keep {$6000.00} of my money for three months and do nothing to assist me with a more prompt and reasonable return of my money.

Product: Credit card
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint:
Last year, I asked that the ( at the time ) XXXX XXXX XXXX ( now the XXXX ) take me off of automatic enrollment so that I would not be charged the automatic $ XXXX yearly fee. Yesterday, I looked at my monthly statement, and not only had Barclay 's ( presumably the organization responsible for overseeing the card payments ) deducted {$89.00} from my account again - they had done so twice. A total of {$170.00} was taken out of my account without my permission - despite having spoken to a representative last year and requesting that I be taken out of auto enrollment. Although I called them and my money is apparently being refunded ( I have not received a refund yet ), it is terrifying to think that a company such as XXXX, or Barclay Card, can simply deduct money from my personal bank account without permission - or even a request - despite me taking the time to attempt to eliminate this type of event from occurring.
