Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
InXX/XX/XXXXI bought my 1st house with Countrywide Financial Mortgage Co. As well known litigation XX/XX/XXXXallowed me to refinance my house with BofA , HARP program staid no closing cost, but I was charged the closing cost that was added to my outstanding balance. That time one benefit was no appraisal required by BofA. I asked BofA remove my PMI monthly payments, but they rejected my request. I paid PMI sinceXX/XX/XXXX {$98.00} x 12 month x 11 years = {$13000.00}!!! just PMI!!! beside interest ( 4-6 ) % on top of this.XX/XX/XXXX, last year, I asked BofA calculate for me how much I have to pay down to avoid PMI, that really unfair charges that sound like penalty to the first time home buyer!!! instead of benefits I got penalty!! Well since that BofA replied my with the general letter. I went twice in local branch : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXKS XXXX, tel XXXX. XXXX XXXX /NMLS ID XXXX/ and he was not able to tell me exact amount of pay to avoid PMI. I decided make own calculation. I borrowed $ XXXX from BofA, my resent balance $ XXXX, then ratio is 82 % ( XXXX:XXXX ) O.K. the general letters said my ratio need to be at least 80 %. Well, I paid down other $ 20K. Now my balance is below $ 100K, compare to borrowed amount $ XXXX it is 68 %. If take for consideration XXXX COUNTY APPRAISER 'S my house market value {$170000.00}, and the ratio will be 58 %. But BofA refused to accept XXXX COUNTY APPRAISER and force me to do an appraisal from they list that cost me $ 500- {$600.00}!! why do I need trough my money UNNECESSARY to somebody instead of to make payments against my principal? Why BofA was able refinance me in the first place without appraisal, and refused now?? I see only one answer : GREED!! the vain hope of finding work.

State: FL

Sub-product: Mortgage debt
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying

Complaint:
On X/XX/17, I purchased a property from XXXX. Shortly, thereafter, I was called by a representative from Kondaur Capital Corp. stating they held a senior loan on the property ( taken out by XXXX XXXX, deceased ) that I purchased and demanded I complete a payoff to prevent foreclosure of his mortgage. ( Neither me or my corporation have any contractual obligation for those debts. ) During our email conversation, I instructed both both the representative, XXXX XXXX, and the main office that I only wished to be contacted in writing to the address listed on the state of Florida 's Division of Corporation for my corporation. However, they continue to email me to threaten me with foreclosure and to pressure me into accepting their offer for {$3000.00} in exchange for my deed in lieu of foreclosure for a property that I have over {$70000.00} invested in. Because I have consistently declined that offer and have stated that there would never be an acceptance of such an offer, continued emails to make such an offer are harassment, which is illegal. The most recent email came in yesterday at approximately XXXX XXXX. I want this activity to stop and for KCC to be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law for their unlawful debt collection practices.

Sub-product: Private student loan
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint:
Let 's go back over the past year. Up to 10 calls a day from NAVIENT regarding a co-signed loan for my son. His loans are in a RRP ( rate reduction program ) with the exception of this one his mother has co-signed. When asked to put this loan into the rate reduction program he was told it needed to be 60 days past due and to tell his mother to not make the next two payments. We can provide names and dates is you can take this further. She let the payments go for the 60 days, and then we called about the RRP. We were told that this loan was not eligible for the RRP. So who is correct here. Called them again yesterday X/XX/17 with my son to discuss. We were told the loan was eligible for the RRP but son needed to file a financial statement. He stated he filed one in XXXX but was told that was too old. He asked the Navient rep to pull up his financial statement but he declined and said my son would need to file a new one before they could do anymore. So now my wife 's credit report reflects a default on a student loan that they NAVIENT ; issued instructions and we followed them but guess what that got us. A BIG DING on our credit. Now my wife has been attempting to pay the monthly statements and has done so for over a year but was diagnosed with XXXX XXXX in XXXX of last year amassing medical bills of around 85,000. We do n't have to pay it all as we had insurance but the deductable and out of pocket was around 19,000 which we are paying at this time. Back to NAVIENT. They called again today four times ( I am blocking the numbers now ) and some lady named XXXX attempted to collect again. I stated that we were in communication about a RRP plan and had nothing more to say until that is taken care of. This organization causes nothing but stress, hardship, and more. There is nothing one can do and they know it and continue to harass the heck out of us. Now ; if I have to get my tribal attorneys ' involved I will as a XXXX XXXX I get free legal representation. These people need to be held accountable for the actions they take. These loans are at 10.75 %. Highway robbery ... ....

Complaint:
I have been dealing with ongoing issues between you guys verifying my information and the credit bureaus posting inaccurate information on my credit file which has made my life very uncomfortable and has stop me from multiple opportunities. I am sending this follow up complaint after about 4 previous complaints to remove all inaccuracies and errors off of my credit report it is stated in your mission statement that you help consumers to be treated fairly between the business of the average joe and the big bad bureaus. I would suggest a fair resolution would be to look into the previous times Ive sent complaints, look into the details of my complaint and you will see where the rules arent being followed on the bureaus parts and the unfairness of it being at my expense. I would really ask that this be expedited just for the back and fourth and distress I have had to endure.

Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
On XXXX, at XXXX XXXX XXXX I called Equifax and spoke to XXXX regarding the unresolved dispute I mailed on XX/XX/2021 to have Equifax remove hard inquiries that were not requested by me. I have yet to receive a resolution and advised XXXX I filed a complaint with the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau ( CFPB Complaint ID XXXX ). XXXX stated that Equifax will not investigate the inquiries and that I have to conduct my own investigation by contacting the company myself. I contacted them and was advised Equifax is responsible for reporting accurate information on my credit report. I feel these accounts are adversely affecting my credit report and I do not recall requesting any of these inquiries. I need this problem fixed asap. Section 611 ( a ) plainly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 45 days and Equifax is refusing to investigate this so these items should be deleted immediately. If these items are not removed immediately I will have no choice but to file litigation.

Complaint:
I have been writing letters since XX/XX/2021 and never got a response. This is unacceptable. The FCRA gives them 30 DAYS. They have taken over 90 ; this is a violation and they are required to remove all of the accounts that they have failed to investigate. There is no way that the FCRA should be ignored and I have to suffer, especially during a time when credit is needed for employment, dwelling, insurance, and more. There is too much going on right now to request a consumer to wait EVEN LONGER than federally mandated. The FCRA was created for a reason. They are to follow it. Every item should be removed

Company: U.S. BANCORP
State: OR
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Opened a home equity line of credit with US Bank in XXXX of XXXX. At the time I opened the credit line the representative at the bank said that in order to make payments on the line of credit I needed to open a checking account with the bank, transfer or deposit funds in the US Bank checking account monthly, and set up the equity line to automatically withdraw from the checking account to make the payment. I had no desire to sign up for a checking account, as I had no intention of moving my other banking to US Bank and did not want the hassle of maintaining and transferring money between multiple accounts, but did so anyway at the behest of the branch employees insisting that it was necessary to make the monthly payments. 

I made timely payments throughout the remainder of XXXX and into XXXX. At some point during that time period the branch employees encouraged me to downgrade my checking account from platinum to gold, to avoid fees for not carrying a large enough balance in my checking account. I told the branch employee that set up the checking account that I only intended to maintain enough of a balance to pay the equity line payment. Selling me that checking account in the first place was a mistake given that I never intended on carrying a $ 25,000+ balance. I made the change and continued to make my automatic payments to my equity line. The branch employee failed to inform me that the change in checking account type ( which I never wanted in the first place ) would result in an annual fee being added to my checking account. When the annual fee was charged it caused my checking account to have insufficient funds to pay my equity line, despite the automatic deposit into the checking account that I never wanted. 

The cascade of this ( starting in XXXX of XXXX ) is that I have been charged hundreds of dollars in overdraft fees for a checking account I was coerced into opening ( that was closed by US Bank ), been charged late fees on my equity line and given a 30 day credit late for a late payment on my equity line.
