Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: TX
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint:
I experienced a financial windfall after my first year of college, and wanted to repay the unsubsidised federal loan that I had taken out, before it started accruing interest. When I went to the student aid website, I learned that my loan was handled by a loan servicer, and that I could n't make payments directly, but I had no way of knowing what company that servicer was, or how to begin repayment. Navient, my student loan servicer, sent me a letter of introduction over 6 months later, and informed me I had already accrued over {$250.00} interest on my loan - even though I had no way to pay it back before they contacted me.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: DE
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
I refinanced my 30yr fixed rate FHA mortgage in to a 15yr fixed conventional loan. My old lender Ocwen received the pay off amount on XXXX/XXXX/2015. As per HUD, The Federal Housing Administration ( FHA ) today announced that borrowers who prepay their FHA-insured mortgages will not have to make interest payments beyond the date their mortgage is paid in full. FHA 's rule, Handling Prepayments : Eliminating Post-Payment Interest Charges, applies for FHA-insured mortgages closed on or after XXXX XXXX, 2015. This rule explicitly prohibits lenders from charging borrowers post settlement interest, which is broadly defined as a " prepayment penalty '' by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), for all FHA Single Family mortgage products and programs. 
Ocwen is telling me that they calculate the interest on a monthly basis not on per Diem basis as opposed to that above rule. They have charged me interest for the whole month of XXXX. Ocwen charged me {$1000.00} in extra interest payment for the XXXX days of XXXX, when HUD clearly says there is no prepayment penalty. 
I have written letter to Ocwen expressing my concern about the extra interest payment and they have replied me back saying that they will only calculate interest on monthly basis and denied my appeal to refund the money.

Explaining to XXXX that I intend to resolve the debt.

I explained the debt was at least 2-3 years old, and was ready to reach an agreement with them. He continued to insist that I explain why the debt became delinquent. Which, in the case of such an old debt, is immaterial. I made every effort to communicate my intentions of resolving the debt, to no avail. I also asked the representative for his callback number, in case I needed to reach him again, he did not refuse to provide it, however he did not give it to me. Thank you

Sub-issue: Trouble closing card

Complaint:
My brother passed away on XX/XX/2022 without a will. I have been appointed Administrator of his Estate. I found a Key Bank debit card and took it to a local branch in XXXX, WA. I was informed there was no account attached to this card and it was issued by WA State XXXX XXXX  and I should contact Unemployment which I did. The agent also said I should contact the Customer Service number on the back of the debit card. I went to the local XXXX office and they said it didnt have anything to do with them. 

I called the Customer Service number 4 times and spent a total of 6.5 hours waiting to talk to someone which didnt happen. I went back to Key Bank 2 more times and tried talking to a manager, with an appointment but was skunked. They said the same thing, I had to talk to customer service. 

At one point, I was able to find out the funds on this card but it expired at the end of XXXX. My partner called a number he found and talked to a Key Bank agent in New York that told him no one was answering the Customer Service number any longer and I found out Employment Security doesnt use Key Bank any longer for the debit cards. 

I have talked to XXXX XXXX close to a dozen times. I was given an email address a couple of days ago by an agent to again try to contact Key Bank to resolve this issue but the outcome is unknown. A Key Bank agent from XXXX OH called me a week ago to tell me a Regulator would be contacting me as I filed a complaint with Key Bank but I havent heard from them. Key Bank is negligent, I believe in this matter and I am filing a formal complaint.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: FL
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Can't stop withdrawals from your account

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2018 my wife and I checked into an XXXX XXXX for what was supposed to be a 7 day stay. Upon checking in that evening after flying into our destination, we were extremely disappointed in the cleanliness and filth of the home so we left 1st thing in the morning and checked into a local hotel. XXXX XXXX refused to give us a refund for our stay for the 6 nights we did not stay and insisted that they keep the full {$350.00} even after we sent them photos of how disgusting the house was. 

At this point, I called Chase Bank to dispute the charge and Chase gave my a provisional credit. Chase was able to see that we in fact checked into a hotel seeing that I used my Chase Credit Card for the hotel. They said that was sufficient to show that we did not stay at the XXXX XXXX and we thought the issue was resolved. I explained to Chase that I was willing to pay for the one night ( 12 hours ) we did stay and they said there was no way to refund only 6 of the 7 nights. 

Well now, over 2 months later, Chase is reversing {$260.00} of the {$350.00} that was originally reversed. After 3 phone calls with Chase, I have been told I have no recourse because XXXX XXXX provided documentation that substantiates the charge. Really??? So what was supposed to be {$50.00} a night is now {$260.00}? Chase could not refund my account only the applicable {$300.00} for the 6 nights we did not stay, but they can now credit XXXX XXXX {$260.00} for one night? 

Chase refuses to send me a copy of XXXX XXXX 's response to them so that I can properly refute their response. Chase would not let me speak with a manager and  acts as if its a closed deal. XXXX XXXX made NO attempt to settle this issue with me and now Chase is making no attempt to represent me as their customer either. So I apparently have no recourse except to file this complaint and/or hire legal representation which would cost far more than the {$260.00} that was in my opinion, just illegally taken from my checking account.

Complaint:
After online activation of a new bank issued ATM card in the state of XXXX, my online checking account was hacked and an unknown person transferred funds from another linked checking account, on the same date, merchant purchases were made and ATM withdrawals were made in excess of my daily limit in the state of XXXX. I immediately notified the Bank of America. A hold was place on the account. After a review, Bank of America denied the online claim, withdrew the credit for the purchases and ATM withdrawal, but could not provide backup evidence to support the denial. A police report in my home city was submitted attesting to the fact that I did not authorize any of the transactions nor did I travel to XXXX. After requesting Bank of America 's documentation to support the denial, I was told there was no documentation only an opinion that the transaction were authorized because the online access was hacked when activation of the new ATM card occurred. Bank of America also withdrew funds from the new checking account opened with them to cover the funds used to make the unauthorized purchases and ATM withdrawals.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
We have a loan with Zion 's Bank for construction of our new home. We built the home in 2020 and have been in our home for almost 15 months. Zion 's is still requiring us to pay Escrow each month based on the estimated amount they thought we would owe for our taxes and insurance. I have called them, and have emailed our mortgage and construction loan officer, about the county tax assessor 's office actual taxes owed. Needless to say, we owe less than the banks original assessment. RESPA law states the bank can not hold more than 2 months escrow. I know they have a lot more than that number. Repeated phone calls and emails have not been returned or the matter addressed. I just emailed to have my escrow removed from our mortgage. I am VERY DISSATISFIED with Zion 's Bank throughout this entire process of construction loan. I would NOT recommend them to anyone!!
