Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (VA)

We have our home mortgage with CitiMortgage. Our loan # is XXXX. Last year we were approved for a loan modification and ever since then have made our mortgage payment on time. Every month beginning on the XXXX we get repeated automated phone messages from CitiMortgage and after a few minutes a representative comes on the line and begins to go through the whole disclosure speech about the call being recorded and being an attempt to collect a debt etc. XXXX we are able to intercede we tell the representative that our mortgage payment is just due and we have by agreement a fifteen day grace period to make the payment. We further state that if they check their records they will see that all of our payments have been credited before the grace period has elapsed. We ask politely to not call back unless we fail to have our payment to them by the fifteenth of the month. Usually they are rude and say that the reason for the call is that it is the first of the month and the payment is due. We get nowhere with them and ask thatthey refrain from calling again. However, this cycle is repeated over and over again sometimes 3 or 4 times a day. Each time a different representative who claims there is no record of any previous call in their system. Yea right! This practice of harassment has been going on each month for the last year. My wife has to field these calls all day long and is frustrated that we can not find a method to have them cease. I have threatened lidigation, contacted the do not call list and have had to become forceful in my response to them on the phone all in hopes we can stop this harassment. Nothing has worked. Every time I speak to a manager ( I assume they are what they say they are XXXX they apologize but the calls keep coming in. What can I do to stop this nuisance.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC (MI)

Green Tree Servicing , LLC is XXXX of the worst companies I 've ever dealt with. After being assured that I was approved for a loan modification, Green Tree kept requesting the same documents over and over. I submitted at least a XXXX packets of the same exact documents, only to be told they were never received, at which time they started foreclosure proceedings. 

They also harassed and threatened me many, many times on the phone, sometimes up to XXXX phone calls per day, often swearing at me over the phone. They also contacted my family members by phone and threatened them, as well, giving these XXXX parties information on my Green Tree debt. 

I thought XXXX XXXX XXXX customer service was bad, but when my mortgage was sold to Green Tree, I learned that their practices and customer service are XXXX times worse. My account representative, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX, ext XXXX ) was not only disrespectful and harassing, but she would not give me the information I needed, including the amount due on my mortgage. She also hung up on me many times. 

XXXX XXXX also insisted that my AUTO insurance was part of my escrow balance. I knew this was n't true and called my auto insurance company to confirm. When I called the office of XXXX XXXX, president of Green Tree Service, LLC ( XXXX ), I was given an amount due to bring my account current. I called again to confirm that the amount was correct and was given a different figure. They then insisted on transferring me to XXXX XXXX, who again, would not give me any info or payment options to bring the account current. 

I 've dealt with other Green Tree representatives, as well, and both XXXX XXXX and others noted that nonpayment of my mortgage could result in arrest or imprisonment. Green Tree pressured me to use a payment system known as XXXX, a pay-by-phone service that charges {$12.00}, even though other payment options were available to me. 

The level of incompetence of Green Tree representatives is shocking, and I hope that steps are being taken to make this situation right.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (MN)

I 've reported a number of complaints to CFPB regarding Chase Home Mortgage. My home was sold in XX/XX/XXXX through a negotiated short sale with Chase Home Mortgage. The sale closed as a short sale, there was no XXXX and Chase never took possession of my house. Chase continues to report this sale as a Foreclosure and I 'd like to understand why they are permitted to do so when none of the elements listed by the FTC as constituting a foreclosure occurred? Chase is retaliating against me and holding me hostage in my life by purposely and intentionally trying to damage my credit. A short sale is only to be reported for XXXX years and Chase is incorrectly reporting a foreclosure on my home when they do not dispute that the sale of my home closed as a short sale with no bank possession or sale. Why is the CFPB and the FTC allowing this behavior by a financial institution? I 've never had any other negative items in my credit history. In responding to my complaints to the CFPB, Chase continues to call me only to check the box with you bureau and only to say they are reporting correctly and refuse to change it. What are we to do as consumers? There is no dispute and ample proof that my home closed in a short sale with none of the elements listed by the FTC as constituting a foreclosure. What is a consumer to do? 
This is what XXXX is reporting from Chase regarding my home : Account DetailsLast Reported XXXX XXXX, XXXXCreditor Name CHASEAccount Type Conventional Real Estate MortgageAccount Status Closed - DerogatoryOpened Date XXXX XXXX, XXXXClosed Date XXXX XXXX, XXXXLimit -- Term 30 MonthsMonthly Payment $ XXXXXXXXResponsibility IndividualBalance $ XXXXHighest Balance $ XXXXXXXXPayment Status XXXX Days LateWorst Payment Status XXXX Days LateDate of Last Payment XXXX XXXX, XXXXAmount Past Due $ XXXXTimes 30/60/90 Days Late XXXX/XXXX/XXXXRemarks Foreclosure discontinuedThey " referred '' my file to their foreclosure department after Chase agreed to a short sale and the short sale closed - how is this legal? They are preventing me from obtaining financial backing in my professional and personal life and lawyers tell me there is no basis to sue - not because of Chase 's conduct, but because the CFBP has not enforced any regulations against the banks for their misconduct. The FTC should remove their instructions to consumers on how to direct a lender to correct false information regarding their mortgage because Chase has refused to follow the FTC requirements - so what are consumers to do at that point?

Company: Convergent Resources, Inc. (FL)

I arrived to this country on XXXX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX is trying to bill me a debt dated on XXXX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX owed by a person named like me but not in my address. The difference is in the apartment number. XXXX already opened a collection using XXXX collection company that I solved last XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX when I contacted XXXX and sent to them all my information. It is supposed to be solved when XXXX XXXX sent back the wrong information to XXXX. Now, collection appeared again in my credit report but now XXXX issued to Convergent Outsourcing. I sent my personal information to XXXX and I told them about their mistake but they sent to me a form of Identity theft and they asked me to send them back a police record report, as if someone had used my information, but this is not the case. They do not take on their mistake. At the end, I did n't accept that. Why do I need to spend my time and my money getting that documents when they made the mistake. I do n't know how or why this debt was linked to me, and how XXXX got my personal information because I never have had an open account with them. They did a bad job and now I have a collection in my credit report that have been affecting my credit score almost 2 years. I wanted to sue XXXX but it is a hard process. The error is so simple and solution is so simple too, that 's why I do n't understand why XXXX ca n't fix it. Please if you know how to solve this problem, I would like to know.

Company: Oracle Financial Group LLC. (MD)

This company called my parents asking for me. They asked personal information like where I live, where I work, etc. My parents refused the information and the man on the phone threatened that he will find me sooner or later and that I am being served papers due to an unpaid debt. 

He would not give information about the debt, would not give his company name, and only gave a very generic name, " XXXX XXXX ''. 

I do not currently have any debts that are within the Statute of Limitations in the state of Maryland. 

The man on the phone also stated that he will send the summons to my home or place of employment. He stated that it would be very embarrassing to send to my employment so I should contact him as soon as possible to provide the correct information.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach.

Company: Onity Group Inc. (CA)

I, XXXX XXXX, am the authorized third party for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I 'm helping him apply for a loan modification with Ocwen, his loan # is XXXX. Ocwen approved him for a HAMP tier 2 modification on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX which only lowered his payments by about {$400.00} per month which did n't help him make the payments more affordable. We sent Ocwen a letter the next day on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX stating that this modification did n't help them and they would like it to be closed out and reviewed for an in house modification to see if maybe there was a better modification offer for them. Ocwen then said it would take a few days to close it out and it was never closed out until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. It took about a month to close it out after we sent them a letter and they received it saying it would be closed out any day now. We resubmitted updated documents at that time XX/XX/XXXX to be reviewed for an in house modification, when at that point Ocwen then again approved it for a HAMP tier 2 on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX with identical payments which again did n't help the borrower. I have now sent them a letter asking them AGAIN to close out the review and review XXXX for an in house modification and they keep saying the same thing again saying, give us a few days and call back and it will be closed out and nothing is being done to close out the HAMP tier 2 approval and review him for an in house modification. This is XXXX 's last hope to save his home, if they can offer him a lower payment with an in house modification he can keep his home and I 've seen very great in house modifications with Ocwen so I know it 's possible but they keep dragging their feet and XXXX keeps falling further and further behind. If you can please help XXXX 's family out by having Ocwen expedite the process by closing out the HAMP tier 2 and reviewing him for an in house modification this would make a huge difference in their lives, they do not want to let go of their family 's home.

My husband and I recently refinanced with LoanDepot. I went to set up an account tonight for our mortgage online at their servicing website https : //loandepot.loanadministration.com/ and am not at all confident in their security practices. For example, they do not allow special characters in passwords, which is a standard security practice. Were this for any other financial product, I 'd " vote with my feet '' and take my business elsewhere, but I feel stuck with their inadequate web security practices, since they own my loan.
