Company: SANTANDER BANCORP
State: NC
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint:
Since XXXX of this year I have been trying to get the bank to make a correction in my credit report for an account reported incorrectly. I had a personal loan that had a balance of about {$1800.00} in XXXX of 2013 and it was about 30 days past due. I contacted the bank and indicated that I could pay the amount in full if an adjustment was made to the interest rate already paid and a waiver was granted for the accumulated late charges. After several phone conversations, the bank agreed to let me pay off the account with a discount. The amount of discount was {$570.00} which consisted primarily of late charges. The loan was paid off in XXXX of 2013. In XXXX of 2013 the bank reported the debt as charged off to the credit bureaus. The account was 30 days past due at the time the bank agreed to a discount, but reported the account as 120 days past due and for that reason was charged off. The account never reached 120 days past due to justify being charged off as the report to the credit bureau indicates with the charged off code. Subsequently, the account was sold to an investor. The investor sent me a collection letter, however, after I explained the situation the investor verified the information with the bank, and they proceeded immediately to delete the information in the credit report and sent me a letter indicating that I have no debts with them ; however, the bank refuses to do the same and continues to report incorrectly an account they do not own anymore. I have disputed the information in the credit bureaus, but when the credit bureaus contact the bank, the bank indicates the information is correct and takes no action. The bank refuses to change the credit report despite several conversations and after two bank officers agreed with me that the account is incorrectly reported and promised to make the required changes. Also, the bank has not returned the cancelled promissory note despite several requests on my part. 
Please see attached letter which explains in details the problem. 
As resolution for this matter, I want the bank to delete completely the account from the credit bureau since their actions have caused considerable damage since I have been trying to obtain a loan for a house I have under contract for deed, and I have not been able to obtain a loan.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: WA
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't decrease my monthly payments

Complaint:
For many years I tried to get on some sort of Income Based payment plan with Navient ( and before them XXXX ) to begin the repayment process. Every time I asked I was placed on some sort of deferment or forbearance program ( including an administrative one they seemed to make up for me ) instead. As a result the interest continued to grow and compound at an alarming rate and is now totally out of control. I was denied any payment plan that would allow me to make payments towards relief and be done long ago with this debt, or at least a hefty chunk of it. Now I 'm unemployed and struggling with XXXX ( XXXX ) and because I 'm married and moved to a community property state Navient wants my husband to pay on these very old student loans-the bulk of which are from before we even met! This is all so very wrong and I 'm not sure what I should or can do next.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA
Product: Credit card
Issue: Credit line increase/decrease

Complaint:
The credit line on my Wells Fargo visa was lowered from XXXX to XXXX because my credit bureau report in XXXX 2016, showed unusually high balances. However, all of these balances have been paid off in full or were due to fraudulent activity on my credit cards. My credit bureau report as of now shows ZERO balance due on ALL my credit cards ; my credit shows PERFECT now as it should. It is not right that Wells Fargo should penalize me by lowering my credit line due to unauthorized fraudulent activity out of my control that showed temporarily on my credit bureau reports. There are fraud alerts on all XXXX of my credit bureaus now to prevent this from happening again. My credit bureaus shows perfect again with XXXX balance due on all my credit cards. I request that in fairness Wells Fargo reinstate my proper credit line of at least {$10000.00}.

Complaint:
I was in the middle of refinancing my home and waiting for XXXX taxes to hand over paperwork when I discovered that XX/XX/XXXX when my mortgage changed who was handling our billing process stopped reporting to any of the credit bureaus. Not one payment has been late. All payments processed monthly. The credit reports show my mortgage was paid off and closed due to the forced change to who handles the billing process in XX/XX/XXXX. That was reason company said the change was happening for. From XX/XX/XXXX to current no data is reporting even though I still have a mortgage with them but they changed from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They are required by law to report this information. My credit score decreased by over 100 pts due to this and now I am unable to refinance. The change to refinance was saving me {$500.00} a month. That is a huge necessary change I needed to do to help offset my business expenses to keep us floating while we are dealing with Corona Virus and financial strain. Not to mention having my score lower decreases other loan changes I may need to do. I have contacted the company 5 times and asked for a supervisor. Every time told they would escalate it but I have never received any response. I get that less people are working but this has been since XXXX. My doors to my office are closed but I am still required to work by phones just like the mortgage company is doing. There is no excuse that I am not getting a response. Not only do they need to correct this on all credit bureaus but I want to know how they fix that score that took a huge drop due to their paperwork mistake. The loan is under my name as primary and my mothers name as secondary. Both names need to report on our credit just like the loan has in the past with them.

Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, 2017, I went on the website of Plaza Home Mortgage XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to pay my XXXX 2017 payment. The was accepted and i received a confirmation that the payment was received. I fact, at the bottom of the confirmation page it states " Your payment was successfully completed. Thank you for your payment. Please retain your confirmation number for your future reference. NOTE : Payments may take up to 2 business days to post. however, the transaction will be effective for the date submitted. '' ( Attached as Exhibit A ). This makes PLAZA liable for this payment. On XXXX XXXX, i received my paycheck and logged in to my bank account. i noticed that the mortgage payment had not been deducted from my account. I called Plaza Home Mortgage to fine out why. I was told ( 1 ) my payment was rejected by Plaza and ( 2 ) the mortgage had been transferred to another service provider on XXXX XXXX and that i would be receiving information and ( 3 ) my next payment was not due until XXXX XXXX. I asked them why that was n't noted online on XXXX XXXX and the representative did not know. I said okay thank you. 
As of XXXX XXXX, i had received NO NOTICE FROM PLAZA that my mortgage was being transferred. TO DATE ( XXXX XXXX, 2017 ) i have received no notice from PLAZA. In a letter dated XXXX XXXX, which i believe i received on or about XXXX XXXX, I received notice ONLY from the new service providerXXXX ( attached as Exhibit B ) that they were the new service provider. 
I established an online account in order to make the XXXX payment. On the XXXX 's website, it was listed that my next payment to them was due XXXX XXXX, 2017. Therefore, I made an additional payment with this money on my credit card due to the information i received both from XXXX 's website and Plaza representative. 
In then received a statement from XXXX stating that i owed XXXX 's payment. ( Attached Exhibit C ). After trying to resolve this matter with both XXXX and Plaza, i have been unsuccessful. I do not have an additional payment now to be made to bring my account current. 
Plaza insisted when i tried to resolve this matter that they mailed me a notice. I asked if they had proof of delivery or mailing, i was hung up on. 
I am requesting that the XXXX payment be removed due to Plaza 's lack of timely notification to me that a transfer was taking place that they are required to do.

Complaint:
Hello, I applied for a new discover card on XX/XX/XXXX in hopes of doing a balance transfer. I have notice of the promotion giving me until XX/XX/XXXX, to take advantage of the balance transfer. Once I created my account, I tried to initiate the balance transfer on XX/XX/XXXX. A discover representative told me that my offer had expired on XX/XX/XXXX and there was nothing they could do to honor the date I was originally provided. Discover provided me with false information and also gave me an unreasonable timeline for me to complete my balance transfer. In addition, between my account application date of XXXX, I was never notified via email that my balance transfer promotion was going to expire. Also, I was not able to complete an online account until I received my card in the mail. I did not receive my card until XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint:
I applied for a HAMP modification from Specialized Loan Service LLC ( SLS ) with the help of XXXX ( XXXX ) in XXXX. I was then told 5 weeks later that they would n't accept XXXX packet, so, I filled theirs out and updated all the docs requested of me.By the end of XXXX, I was told all of the docs had not been received and I would have to update mine and my daughter 's Social Security benefit letters while I was at XXXX. I left and went to the S.S. office and got both of the docs and brought them back to XXXX XXXX faxed them over to them immediately and brought my bank Statements up to date. When calling SLS in XXXX, I was told by XXXX, my counselor at SLS, I would n't be eligible for any government programs because they were missing my daughter 's S.S. benefit letter. She said even if I faxed them that morning at XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, it would be too late because it takes 24-48 hours to get into their system. She was very rude to me. I faxed them anyway and called them back and spoke to XXXX she told me that as long as I had the receipt dated before XX/XX/XXXX that it was acceptable but that I was also missing an update on my bank statement. I asked " Why did n't XXXX tell me that when I spoke to her earlier? '' She had no idea and she said she should have. I read that on XX/XX/XXXX there was a class action suit filed against SLS for the same reasons I 'm telling you about! They run people around for documents 2 and 3 times saying that they never got them. And They are not reviewing my application in a timely manner. I was also told by XXXX that the HAMP is over. I heard on the news that it has been extended. They have even called my insurance company and told them that I was in foreclosure. I have n't received any notice of that.

Complaint:
We applied for a loan modification in XX/XX/XXXX with Wells Fargo, and had to fax the information over and over to different case workers. They responded : ca n't help you unless you stop payment. So we stopped payment. They simultaneously agreed to work on a modification AND put us in to foreclosure proceedings. More faxing ( with ridiculous deadlines every time ... the stress was indescribable ). More names of new customer service reps over and over. XX/XX/XXXX, they modified the loan BUT NEVER TOLD US. We were forced to short sale XX/XX/XXXX - that 's when we found out about the loan modification ( that they never advised us of ). " You mean we could have afforded our home??? '' Too late. Interestingly, the national mortgage settlement paid those who lost their homes before XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. And these abusive practices became illegal in California starting XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Our loss landed between those XXXX dates, XX/XX/XXXX. We seek justice and have documentation. Of course, the toll it took on our family ca n't be documented, unless you count the scrap of paper I found under my son 's pillow. It said, " My wish. To go into my old house just one more time. '' He took it pretty hard. He was XXXX.

Complaint:
This morning before work I tried to get gas from the gas station using my Wells Fargo check card. I kept getting an error message, so I decided to go inside and see the cashier. She tried my card same thing happened staying error. I thought maybe it 's ' their ATM machine so I was go to a bank and and get money from the ATM, this process was making me late for work at the hospital but I needed gas to get to work. The ATM said invalid card after trying again several times. At this point I figured I need to call Wells Fargo to find out whats going on and they told me they closed my account. I was shocked and asked why and why I was n't notified they said they sent a letter but did not have to call me. I was so confused and today is payday so I had a direct deposit hit my account from payroll last night. I do not keep cash on me so I have no way of putting gas in my car to get to work. They told me they closed my accounts because someone used my log in information and attempted to deposit a counterfeit check from a company called XXXX XXXX XXXX ( the representative gave me this information ). I said that was n't me and I have no idea how that could have happened because I have not given anyone my information and never have heard of this company. After being transferred from dept to dept and finally getting the Executive office the ending result was All my accounts have been closed including my son 's account who is away at college since our accounts are connected and the only thing I can do is wait for the branch to open to take out all my money. To say I was disappointed and hurt by Wells Fargo lack of communication with their customers after something fraudulent is occurring on their account is an understatement. I believe maybe my account was hacked since it was a mobile transfer into my saving by a possible cell phone virus. I 'd be curious to know if they can track the cell phone number. Wells Fargo did not seem to want to assist me in anyway to investigate this matter they just wanted my accounts closed. My plan was to apply for a home loan with Wells Fargo along with my husband at the end of this year since we 've bank with them so long. I just do not understand how someone could do this to a consumer and the bank does not try to help them or notify them as soon as it happens. This is very disconcerting as someone who trust the bank to monitor their finances. Seems like they did n't believe me and was very cold about the situation asking how would someone get my log in information if I did n't give it to them? The same way criminal break laws and take advantage of companies all the time when the consumer is the victim. This is not just, and is really unfortunate.

Complaint:
Recently my insurance premiums substantially increased resulting in XXXX dropping me as a customer after 30 years. I had to find alternate insurance and obtained XXXX. The issue I have is XXXX XXXX reported me as being " at fault '' for my one and only collision. ( I have had parking dings ). But the police report states it was a " no fault '' accident. I provided the police report to XXXX along with an explanation but nothing was done just a standard letter requesting more information which had already been provided. 

According to discussions with XXXX, they indicated they used the XXXX XXXX report to determine insurance premiums including any lapse in coverage. There was a 2 week lapse when I was not aware XXXX dropped me until the next premium payment was small. When I called to find out, I learned I no longer had XXXX Auto and immediately secured coverage. This lapse was a first for me and was immediately rectified. I am paying outrageous premiums now that are based on the assumption I was " at fault ''.

Complaint:
XXXX opened an acct in my name. I had attempted to get XXXX. The equipment was never set up properly. The installer was supposed to come back and pick up their equipment and never did. I discovered the acct was still set up fraudulently with a signed contract THAT WAS NOT SIGNED BY ME!! I then was contacted by one collections agency and they returned it to XXXX because I disputed the acct for fraud. Now a SECOND collection agency has added the acct to collections violating Fair Debt Collections Act. I have written several letters of dispute to all credit bureaus and they refuse to remove the account from my credit.

****This account was FRAUD, IT WAS WRITTEN OFF, and now sent to multiple collection agencies. **** *It was not my name signed to the contract and i was not notified of the 2nd collection agency violating my consumer rights**** *****The creditor is not the original creditor. acct was written off and sold to not 1 but 2 collection agencies. **** ****This account is from almost a year and a half ago and have bypassed their allotted time frame to add this to my credit reports. ***** The original creditor received amounts back on tax returns for losses. they are attempting to triple debt since this is now a 2nd collection agency that has attempted to collect this debt!! IT IS AND HAS BEEN A FRAUD ACCOUNT!! XXXX states I am liable simply because there is my name signed on this alleged contract and refused to investigate after I offered them proof of my signature.
