Company: Flagstar Bank, N.A.
State: MO
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
We purchased a new home on Friday, XXXX XXXX and decided not to use the same financial institution to handle our new mortgage. Flagstar Bank held the mortgage on our existing home. The title company wired our payoff on XXXX XXXX. However, as the payment was received after XXXX I was informed our payment would not be applied to our loan until the next business day, Monday XXXX XXXX. This caused us to XXXX more days of interest accrual. 

Additionally, they would require you pay to receive you payoff amount. 

I believe both items are in violation of UDAAP.

Company: Pacific Union Financial, LLC
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
For the past couple months we were notified by our mortgage company of increased mortgage payments to be paid right away due to the lack of calculation on their part in our property taxes that resulted to delinquent taxes they they just paid to the accessors office. Now they are penalizing us by tremendously increasing our mortgage payment not once but XXXX in the last 2 months. Our regular mortgage that we been paying for the past 3 years is in the amount of {$1900.00} which was last paid XXXX XXXX, 2015. The first increased payment was paid in the amount of {$2600.00} on XXXX XXXX, 2015. We called Pacific Union Financial numerous of times trying to find out why our payment had increased, which i was not getting anywhere with their reps and left a message for a tax specialist within their dept to call me. This past weekend we received ANOTHER mortgage statement of an huge increasement in the amount of {$3500.00} to start on XXXX XXXX, 2015. We spoke to a manager and they gave us two options that we do not agree with and those options were to spread the shortage amount in 24 months which will low our monthly mortgage to XXXX a month, which we still can not afford. Second option, is to redo our loan and start over, in which we disagreed to that as well.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: NY
Product: Payday loan
Issue: Received a loan I didn't apply for

Complaint:
Today I received a bill in the US mail from PayPal Credit for {$120.00}. The following events happened between XXXX and XXXX today. 
XXXX representatives from PayPal confirmed that my Social Security Number, Date of Birth and order of my first and last name did not match their records. 
The first representative verified me with the account number, balance and last charges. This took XXXX minutes to get to this point. That representative confirmed that the charge was from {$25.00} charge for a service I intended to pay on my credit card. PayPal opened and billed a line of credit for instead of using the credit card I had registered on the account. I had to hold for an unspecified period to be connected with some XXXX in PayPal collections, as apparently the phone number on their written bill is different than the XXXX they use for collections. I had to go to an appointment, so I could not hold. 
I called back and had the same issues with verification. I was put through to the collections department, who was willing to accept payment on the account, but no handle my dispute of the fees ( XXXX times the principal ), because they could not verify my identity. 
They even took my credit card number. A less sophisticated consumer may have given up and paid the bill to clean up their credit and avoid the hassle. 
I asked for supervisor XXXX times. The representative continued to explain why a supervisor could not help me. I then had to resort to shouting down the representative on the hope that either he would hangup or get me to the supervisor. 
The supervisor took the payment and credited the account. He waived the fees. It was interesting that he was able to verify me with the date of birth no one else, including XXXX tries on the automated system could verify. 
How can can a company open an account with a wrong social security number, phone number, possible date of birth and email address? 
How can you charge some XXXX fees on such a loan when that entity lacks sufficient information to identify the person they are loaning money to. How can you be willing to accept payment on an account, but then not properly service the account? The supervisor did not seem concerned with this, which indicates the corporation condones this conduct. 
He, however, was concerned that I had to shout down the rep the speak with the supervisor. 
That being said I felt treated unfairly and harassed by the whole process. The need to shout and argue my way to a supervisor. 
They only use first names. The XXXX representative and the supervisor, both identified themselves with the same first name. The other first names were generic. If this was a litigated matter PayPal could use my inability to properly identify the exact staff members as a weakness in my claim. 
To the best of my recollection only the supervisor advised me that this was an attempt to collect by a debt collector and that any information discussed would be used for that purpose.

Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
We bought our home in XXXX, 2014. We made timely payments and XXXX of us lost our jobs so we contacted our mortgage company to set up bi-weekly mortgage payments, which was fine as long as the full payment was made by the due date each month. Needless to say, come a few months later, their mitigation department started sending back our mortgage payments stating that our due date was the XXXX, which it was the XXXX, and we never went that further than the XXXX of each month. We needed a loan modification for bi-weekly payments, when in fact, in our mortgage documents at the closing table, we signed up for it in the very beginning, we just decided to make the full monthly payments at the time. No one tried to contact us, mail us any form of loss mitigation form, new FHA streamline refinance options like other mortgage companies were doing. We never heard a word, until a law firm tried to foreclose on our home. We had to take a huge loan out on our XXXX just to keep our home! The law firm told us to contact the mortgage company, mortgage company hung up on us repeatedly. Cussed us out then hang up. It was a constant headache and circle. We do not want this to happen again. Now we ca n't refinance due to this company for months and are afraid this will happen again!
