Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: HI
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Other mortgage
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
The loan servicer has made repeated mistakes on my mortgage loan which it refuses to correct or investigate, issued notices of default for amounts that were not yet due, eventually stopped accepting my payments and has sued me for foreclosure. 
The servicer continues to charge me late fees after acceleration and during the foreclosure lawsuit. 
The servicer 's lawyer will not permit me to communicate with a sole point of contact at the servicer, make Requests for Information or Payoff Requests and is refusing to respond to the Requests for Information or Payoff Requests. 
I am being denied an opportunity to save my home and avoid foreclosure through the Making Home Affordable Program. 
The servicer and its lawyer are forcing me to accept a nonHAMP, nonaffordable loan modification that is not based on my income or ability to pay with a balance that I do not agree with because it includes fees and charges I have tried to dispute or be faced with a possible foreclosure judgment against me and loss of my home. 
I am being forced to sign a loan modification agreement whose payment terms I do not understand, am not able to compute mathematically, and whose balance includes fees and charges I am not being allowed to dispute or have explained to me by the servicer. 
The servicer is subject to an existing Settlement Agreement with my state 's Attorney General, and my loan is eligible for coverage under that order, but the servicer and its lawyer are forcing me to either accept a loan modification that is not based on my income or ability to pay or be faced with a possible foreclosure judgment and loss of my home.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint:
Did not receive ANY communication regarding overdue payment from Macy 's credit card, nor notice of it having been sent for collection. I only became aware of the debt upon taking my credit report. When I called Macy 's credit card and asked about this, pointing out that although I had moved, I had mail forwarding in place, I was told that Macy 's does not allow the post office to forward their mail -- they must instead return it to Macy 's. I was told that this practice is legal because it is stated in the original agreement. 
I do not understand how a company is allowed to have a practice that clearly makes it impossible for them to notify a customer who has moved about possible overdue payments. I had no recollection of owing money to Macy 's, and in addition to not receiving a reminder letter I have not received any phone calls ( my number has not changed ) or e-mails to that effect either ( I do, however, still get Macy 's ads and member deal reminders via e-mail ). 
My credit score has suffered considerably as a result of the lack of communication from Macy 's. I am in the process of buying a house, and a small debt -- less than a {$100.00} -- will now likely cost me thousands of dollars in higher mortgage rates. I find this entirely unfair, as I would obviously have paid the bill if I had know it existed.

State: OR
Product: Credit card
Issue: Customer service / Customer relations

Complaint:
Had to dispute a credit card charge. First XXXX cust. serv. operators were in XXXX or something, and they were very courteous. But the XXXX one could not understand me. And the XXXX XXXX I could n't understand him. So I asked to be switched to a XXXX operator and got a nice gal in Kentucky. She could not see any of my charges, she said there were no charges on my card, even though we verified we were talking about the same account. I ended up talking to XXXX or XXXX people before I finally got someone who could help me. And in talking with a manager about this, all they can see are phone calls # XXXX, XXXX and I think XXXX. They 're system definitely does not show my first call. I also got disconnected twice and I 'm on a land line, we do not get disconnects here ever. I was very disappointed at the customer service. Now why this is important is people have the right to dispute a charge, and if the company makes it through their own incompetence and poor training very difficult to contest a charge, a lot of people I know would give up. My mom who was XXXX when she passed away would have given up after the XXXX operator. It 's important that these credit card companies not impede people 's abilities to contest charges. Having over-seas operators works fine if they speak XXXX correctly at least so you can understand them.

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
I sent an email XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to my XXXX lien servicing company, Green Tree Mortgage Servicing, and have n't heard anything about assistance. My XXXX lien was refinanced with XXXX prior to XXXX purchasing them, then Green Tree Servicing received the MSR. XXXX is still the investor of record for the XXXX lien. I believe the appraisal value obtained by XXXX at the refi time was fraudulently elevated to allow the loan officer to approve my loan. Due to XXXX being one of the Hardest Hit states in the economic down turn my LTV is extremely upside down. I 've had to move to XXXX to obtain work after a layoff in XXXX XXXX. I was out of work at a full-time job for 1 year. I believe the Treasury has outlined modification programs for XXXX liens that would assist me. I 've taken a $ XXXX annual salary cut and have the home rented out for {$250.00} less a month than the mortgage payments. I 'm trying to be pro-active now that I 'm employed again. I have n't missed any payments on the XXXX or XXXX thankfully. At this rate, without assistance, I 'll have to let the home go. It seems like the mortgage companies do n't want to do anything to help a person unless they actually become delinquent and ruin their credit. The XXXX is reviewing documents to attempt assistance but they already posted a HARP to my loan in XX/XX/XXXX that lowered my payment. The XXXX lien is at 7 %. Thanks

My wife and I have several credit cards that we have charges on that are fraudulent. We were gullible when contacted by phone for grants and internet web site development. We put large charges on our cards to pay for what I mentioned but nothing came about from them. When we filed for a charge back on the cards the banks refused to give us back our money. We want to know how we can get our money back from scammers that promised much and did nothing.

Issue: Closing/Cancelling account

Complaint:
All of my CITI bank credit cards were closed without my permission. I was provided a letter which did not provide a specific reason nor did it provide a telephone number for me to call and obtain a specific reason. This is a violation of federal law ( Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ), as implemented by Regulation B, and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) ) I was not refunded the annual fees on any of my accounts, even though I just paid some of them. I paid every bill on time and did not engage in any illegal behavior or any behavior that violated the terms and conditions. CITIbanks actions are theft, breech of contract, violation of federal law, and possibly discrimination.

Issue: Credit line increase/decrease

Complaint:
Without provocation, I received notice that my credit line was being decreased by nearly 100 %. My available credit was reduced from $ XXXX to XXXX ( the rough amount of my available balance ). 

When I called to question the change, I was provided a nob-descript response referencing my XXXX report. It was my understanding that under the FCRA I was entitled to a copy of this report, but was refused by Citi and have been given no further explanation. 

This is predatory in that it affects my utilization of credit, further subjecting me to increase in APrs, etc and a higher cost of credit without any reason.

Complaint:
My husband and I were approved for a mortgage with Endeavor America, almost a month later the lender changed the terms and established a deadline which stated we needed to close by XXXX XXXX. Endeavor never notified my broker, agent or myself in writing or verbally of this new deadline. My team pushed to get the loan closed by XXXX XXXX for other reasons but was told by the lender that they did n't have anyone in the office who could complete our loan because everyone was on vacation or was busy working other files causing us to miss their newly imposed deadline they never told us about. Sometime in XXXX we received a call from the Endeavor underwriter, during that call she explained that they ( Endeavor ) made a mistake by not notifying my broker and agent and that they were sorry for the inconvenience. She also stated that my broker and agent was completely unaware of the newly imposed deadline because she had somehow missed putting the notification on the approval and never sent the new terms. In XXXX my broker spoke with an Endeavor representative about another file and was informed that " they do n't do that type of loan any longer '' so my broker asked " what about my XXXX file '' and the representative told him everything was fine. Shortly after we were notified of the cancelation. They then told us they would only make the loan if we gave them an additional XXXX XXXX XXXX dollars when our original down payment was around XXXX XXXX dollars.

Product: Credit card
Issue: APR or interest rate

Complaint:
I applied and received a credit card from USAA with a 0.0 % APR for balance transfers. After I was approved, I found out that balance transfers would be at 12.9 % APR. The day after I applied and was approved, I went online, and all mention of the promotion on the USAA website was gone. I called and asked them to look into what happened. On XXXX XXXX, USAA send a letter ( attached ) and said that they found the problem, and that they would now apply the 0.0 % APR to my balance transfers. However, because of the problem, I did n't make any balance transfers because I did n't want to pay the 12.9 %. The promotion ended in XXXX 2015, and now USAA says that I can not transfer any balances and receive the 0.0 APR. They said that regulations prevent them from honoring the original agreement and that I should have transferred the balance before the offer expired. All I want is to transfer the balance of another card and get the 0.0 % APR they offered when I applied for the card. I have banked with USAA for many years, and they have been an excellent organization until this incident. I have discussed the problem with XXXX levels of their customer service, and they have been sympathetic, but unwilling to honor the original agreement. 

If I had been able to transfer the money when I received the card, I would have saved about {$500.00} in interest that I could have used to pay down my balance ( which was the sole reason I for applying for the card ).
