Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
Ocwen Loan Servicing has not processed my loan modification and is basically blaming me for the delinquency, stating that they did n't get documents. This would be my second time using them for a first loan modification. I had sent my new application to them in XXXX timeframe. I had decided to go with back with them since it was a pretty smooth process the first time. This time has been a complete fiasco. They sent me a letter stating that my loan modification had been approved XXXX/XXXX/2016, subject to information ( one form ) that was faxed to them on XXXX/XXXX/16. A Delinquency Letter was sent XXXX/XXXX/16. After that, a letter a month came with a new issues every time. After speaking to them on various occasions, they stated that there was nothing to worry about, all of this is was standard procedure for loan processing. However, like I said previously my loan had already been processed and was approved. As the mortgage statements came I continued to pay the amount stated as my modification. Then they sent me a letter stating that my application was n't complete in XXXX 2016, the document missing was a tax form. We sent the document that they requested four different times as you will see from the faxes. They also had left out the information that was needed on the tax form and by the third time sending it then asked for a letter of clarification. The main problem was that they took an IRS form and made it theirs ( which was illegible on their part ) I ended up downloading the form directly from the IRS site. After they said the form was legible they said they would reprocess my application which had already been approved in XXXX. It has been an on going battle. They said my loan should be completed by XXXX XXXX and scheduled a conference call for the XXXX. Prior to that they sent a letter stating that they had not gotten a response from the third party loan ... On the call on the XXXX then stated the application was with the underwriters and would still have to get word from the third party loan. Ocwen went on to give info from help if loan does n't go thru ... What?????? Please review all attached documents to help settle my compliant. I am XXXX and do n't want to lose my home to foreclosure.

Company: SCOTTRADE BANK
State: CA
Product: Bank account or service
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to express my concerns about a behavior of Scottrade Bank and their affiliates which may have adversely exposed my personal information and lead to identity theft and fraud. 

Specifically, in going through my records in order to better understand how I could resolve ongoing identity theft, I discovered that when applying for a bank account at Scottrade Bank, Scottrade Bank improperly handled a number of documents which had very personal information on them. The actions of Scottrade Bank not only broke from the current standards of data security but also broke Scottrade Bank 's internal policies regarding handling customer information. 

Specifically, on or around XXXX XXXX, 2013 ( XXXX XXXX ), XXXX XXXX, a regional manager from Scottrade Bank offered to receive Scottrade Bank account application documents via email. Email is a notoriously insecure medium of communication yet XXXX XXXX allowed and offered to receive the documents via email, despite the fact that it was against Scottrade Bank 's internal policies and does not have any of the normal safeguards in place to handle personal customer information. The XXXX XXXX, 2013 email contained PDF attachments that included my full name, signature, address, bank account numbers, Social Security Number, and other very personal and sensitive information. 

As is clear by Scottrade 's online disclosures and policies, Scottrade Bank states that it will never transmit customer information over email and or ask for or receive personal information via email, however, XXXX XXXX, a manager at Scottrade encouraged me to send the information by email to expedite the process, with no disclose of the security concerns. 

I am writing today to ask Scottrade to explain why they let my personal information be transmitted in a way that puts me at significant risk to identity theft. I would also like to know what the current status of the email and personal information is, has it been deleted, has it been accessed, are emails records secure, who could have gained access, was the email accessed via HTTP or HTTPS, was it confirmed a secure connection? 

The actions of XXXX XXXX, put me at my personal information at risk and could have likely been the direct cause for hackings that happened weeks latter and accounted for over XXXX of fraud.

Complaint:
I am a Rushcard holder. I have no idea why. I have bank accounts. I will close my Rushcard account after I get my money. I received a text stating my card had been blocked for suspicious activity and to contact Rushcard. I called them immediately and upon me calling, I started receiving text stating I am being issued a new card and it will be in the mail in 7-10 business days. I began asking what was compromised and a better explanation and the rep is short with me and tells me that it comes from coporate. It has been 7 days, I still do n't have my " new card ''. They did n't even offer me the option to expedite the card! I get paid tonight and will not be able to access my funds. This will be a deposit of over XXXX. I have XXXX children. I work everyday.

Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC.
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX has been working with servicer, PennyMac, for over four years trying to accomplish a short sale or a deed in lieu. XXXX first contacted her mortgage servicer when her hardship began to avoid foreclosure and find a resolution that benefited all parties involved. Upon review of the short sale in XXXX, PennyMac declined the short sale and encouraged XXXX to complete a deed in lieu of foreclosure instead. Upon completion of the DIL review, PennyMac then advised XXXX to re-list the property as a short sale and attempt the short sale. This was incredibly misleading as the previous buyer walked when the short sale was declined. Now, years have gone by without resolution on the debt and PennyMac 's unwillingness to work with her has caused the property to go into foreclosure. Once again in XXXX, the property was listed for sale via a short sale and an offer was received on the property. We ultimately had to dispute the value set forth by the VA and we had an agreed upon adjusted value and offer in the amount of XXXX. PennyMac then issued a decline on the XXXX offer stating that the net proceeds were unacceptable due to the deficiency on the loan. We reached out to the VA and they confirmed that PennyMac 's decline does not abide by VA servicing guide and that the servicer, PennyMac, should have accepted the short sale offer on the property. Please see attachment. Since XXXX XXXX, we have been unable to get answers on PennyMac 's short sale decline. The court agreed to cancel the foreclosure sale date of XXXX and reset the sale date to XXXX to allow additional time to close on the short sale. The foreclosure sale date is now re-approaching and we have not gotten anywhere with PennyMac. They have encouraged XXXX, yet again, to apply for a deed in lieu. There is a decent offer on the property which should have been accepted back in XXXX. It is clear that PennyMac is not willing to work with this homeowner who is clearly trying to avoid foreclosure and find a resolution.

Sub-issue: Debt resulted from identity theft

Complaint:
Common Wealth Financial has previously been notified that the debt is from Identity theft. They deleted it in from XXXX, but on XXXX XXXX, 2015 they reinserted the debt in my XXXX file. XXXX different collection agencies reported the same debt on my credit files within 30 days. XXXX/XXXX/2015 XXXX reported it. XXXX/XXXX/2015 Common Wealth Financial reported it. XXXX/XXXX/2015 North East Credit & Collect XXXX inserted the same bad debt on my XXXX. There is no way XXXX debt collectors can have a legal right to pursue XXXX bill at the same time with XXXX of them listing it 15 days apart in the same month.. Commonwealth Financial has the XXXX debt SEPERATED into XXXX accounts instead of the total being listed once. I 've spoken to the original creditor they tell me it should be listed as XXXX account number, NOT XXXX. They 've separated it to do as much damage as possible to my credit scores. The same {$1300.00} bill had been listed as {$3500.00} in my reports.Why would they remove from XXXX bureau then at a later date report it another?

Complaint:
I have not been able to access my accounts since XXXX XXXX, 2015. I call Rushcard 's customer service line and not only is the wait over two hours but once you reach a representative, they hang up on you. I spoke to the representative on XXXX XXXX. I was told that since I can not transfer money from XXXX account to the other, I can request new replacement cards.

I contacted Fed-Ex and there is no record of any package being sent to me.

My cell phone got disconnected, my lights got shutoff and I have had to resort to friends and family for help with gas and groceries for me and my XXXX daughters. This has created an enormous financial hardship. I was not able to pay for my daughters ' childcare s I have missed days of work.

Please help! I am a single mother who works XXXX jobs to make ends meet and that is still not enough. Someone needs to give me answers since Rushcard continues to hang up on me after hours of being on hold.

State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
I am filing this complaint against DiTech and the late reporting to the credit bureaus. As I previously stated, I have tried on dozens and dozens of times to reach a DiTech representatives to discuss the matter, never to receive a call back or an explanation regarding the issues surrounding my account. The following is a list of dates where I left messages for DiTech representatives : XXXX at extension XXXX : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, and XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX extension XXXX : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX she stated she submitted a verbal dispute, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, and XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX ( manager ) x XXXX : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, and XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
XXXX x XXXX - I spoke to her on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and she said she would have an account manager call me back. I tried reaching her several more times after I did n't get a call and could never get through to her again as she had no voicemail set up. 
XXXX XXXX x XXXX : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX x XXXX : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX x XXXX : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, ( now, no longer with the company ) XXXX x XXXX : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX stated a supervisor would call me back, No call back. 
XXXX Customer Service stated XXXX x XXXX just acknowledged his email and would call back that day. I never heard back from her. 
XXXX x XXXX : stated my account issues go back to XXXX XXXX XXXX? really? 
XXXX x XXXX : XXXX/XXXX/XXXX stated he would review my account and call me the next day. No call back. 
Due to lack of communication from DiTech, and the fact that I tried to discuss my account with numerous representatives to find out where the discrepancies were, they should immediately remove the late mark from my credit report. THE FACT THAT IT TOOK SO LONG TO WORK THIS OUT IS UNACCEPTABLE! The constant different information from different representatives is also unacceptable! My persistence is the only reason we are now at the point that we are.

Complaint:
I 've called XXXX now to PennyMacLoan Services to get my monthly statements corrected. They send the monthly statement towards the end of the month, the payment slip that I un-attach to send with my payment is for the previous month. Example : the statement that I received at the end of XXXX that was supposed to have the payment slip say Due XXXX/XXXX/2015 for the XXXX 2015 payment says XXXX/XXXX/15. It 's like they are a month behind. 
I 'm not behind on ANY of my payments. I 've called them XXXX and no change. 
Also, I spoke to a rep today at Penny Mac Loan Service and I 've never ever made a payment on the phone and somehow, they have someone else 's routing information on my account and the rep asked me to give her my new routing numnber and account number. I got suspicious and I told her that i would send a cashiers check instead.
