Company: Community Loan Servicing, LLC (formerly known as Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC) (CA)

My name is XXXX XXXX in XXXX I bought a home in XXXX CA and it cost me {$570000.00}. I fell for the interest only for five years and in XXXX, I was able to refinance through XXXX Bank. For the past 4 years, I have never been late. I always pay my mortgage on time and pay extra on the principle. in XXXX, XXXX sold my home to a Debt Collection agency named Bay View. This agency uses fraudulent accounting systems. Every month I send extra money to pay off the principle, they set the money aside stating just incase I do not send full payment. When I use the phone to talk to them, the amount noted by phone that they received is thousands of dollars less than what I send. My payment is {$2000.00} per month and I send it {$3500.00}. I make the statement reflect that {$1500.00} if for additional principle payment reduction. Since XXXX of last year, each statement I receive does not reflect the additional principle until I call and have a great amount of XXXX to the point that I am on medication in order to deal with the XXXX they are causing me. In addition, there online service is so useless. I tried to send them an email and it did not go through. I tried to file a complaint, the complaint form was not available. It has been 12 months since I have been living in this nightmare called Bayview Collection Agency. I did not authorize XXXX to sell my home to BayView and Bayview is not a bank. It is a debt collection agency making me feel that they will eventually make me lose my home. They charge me interest on the higher amount instead of the amount after the principle is reduced. I sent {$3000.00} for the month of XXXX and XXXX of XXXX to be paid on the principle and they are holding my money into a special account. This is against the law. I am trying to pay off my home sooner so I do not have to deal with their fraudulent calculation. Can you please help me? 
I am so XXXX and feel they are ripping me off. They are not available to speak to on Sundays when I usually get a chance to finally check my mail. I work out of town and sometimes I do not get the mail during the week. You can call me on my cell phone XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I wonder how many home owners in the state of California are not able to pay their principle down if they choose to do so. How do I get my account from under a debt collection? Who do I call? Do I have to pay a fee to get rid of this unethical agency? Is it legal for them to hold my money and not apply it to the principle as I ask? Is it against the law to pay my principle down? I am living a night mare and I am severely sick and ca n't possibly function knowing that there is an agency out there that is ripping me off. I work very hard even though I am legally XXXX. Can you please investigate this agency? And see what can I do to get my loan with a bank that will help me lower my monthly payment?

XXXX XXXX I was never late on this : they have this listed as late in XXXX but I spoke with XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX who said I was late in XXXX of XXXX. I asked why he 's calling now and he did n't give an answer. Not only that, but he said that because I was late in XXXX, it is reporting late in XXXX. My account is on auto-pay so there is no way that I was late in XXXX and I can prove this. I paid {$1000.00} on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for this supposed late in XXXX when it is reporting as late in XXXX. XXXX said all I can do is dispute it with the bureaus.

I see that XXXX XXXX is not with current events because XXXX is still listed along with other items that should not be listed ... the mere fact that these items are listed I am wondering why XXXX XXXX who claims to be representing Bank of America is harassing me. I am in the process of deeding my property back to bank ... .that bank is XXXX XXXX XXXX If you review the responses and history you will see where Bank of America disassociated themselves from the issues I had with them when they transferred the property to XXXX XXXX

Company: STERLING JEWELERS, INC. (OH)

I recently lost my job right before XXXX last year. Since I have n't found a new one yet I have been unable to keep up on my credit cards or keep my cell phone turned on. Since Kay jewelers has been unable to get ahold of me, they have been calling every family member and my ex husband and his family and disclosing information about my debt! They told my grandma that she needed to get ahold of me on XXXX to contact me about paperwork I needed to finish filling out for my credit card!!! What on earth?! It 's embarrassing enough losing my job and not being able to pay anything after I had such good credit and now they 're just humiliating me while I 'm down. Now every single member of my family and my ex husbands family knows I have a Kay jewelers card that I 'm behind on.

There is a collector on my credit so I decided to call them. When I call they ask for my social security which I provided and they were unable to locate me. They tried to tie me to a XXXX XXXX, which I have never lived. I asked to send me proof, which they have not yet they took the liberty of adding themselves to my credit. I have disputed this with my creditors which most removed but XXXX is still saying it is mine, which I do not understand why since no proof has been submitted.

Company: VIRGINIA HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (VA)

My mortgage is with Virginia Housing Development Authority. I pay my mortgage online and this month there was an additional fee of {$350.00} indicating it was a fee for possibly mitigation and/or short sale ( it was n't clear ). I tried calling VHDA but could not reach them. I tried just paying my regular mortgage fee but the system would n't allow me to. Last year my loan was mitigated in XX/XX/XXXX and I tried a short sale in XX/XX/XXXX which was denied in XX/XX/XXXX. There was NO indication there would be a fee for these actions. Nothing was said to expect a fee at any time. In my estimation, this fee is purely extortion - a scheme to bilk a customer they already know is experiencing financial difficulties.

Company: Dovenmuehle Mortgage, Inc. (TX)

I fell behind on my mortgage by two months and I have been working on getting caught up. I plan to use my income tax return to do so and the money is due any day now. I sent my normal payment to the XXXX which is serviced by Dovenmuehle Mortgage. They rejected my payment and I have yet to speak with anyone that can actually tell me what XXXX is going on. How can they reject a payment? I am willing to make good on my loan but I will never use the XXXX again because of the experience I have had with the servicer. 

How can this company do this I wondered and then I started doing some research. I get the impression they are targeting veterans like myself by servicing loans for the XXXX and XXXX. I am worried they will XXXX and I do not know how to fight them.

Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit
Issue: Credit decision / Underwriting — 
Company: HANCOCK WHITNEY BANK (CA)

My parents and I own a rental home in XXXX XXXX, Louisiana. We each own XXXX % interest in the property. The residential home is worth according to XXXX approximately {$68000.00}. In XXXX, we purchased the home and paid off the mortgage. A local bank, XXXX XXXX, provided us a {$35000.00} home equity line of credit at that time and took a first mortgage on the property. This loan was subsequently shifted to XXXX and now Whitney Bank due to bank acquisitions. We have a XXXX month history on making on-time payments for this home equity line of credit. XX/XX/XXXX, we were contacted for the first time by a representative from Whitney Bank stating that the term on the line of credit was expiring in XXXX XXXX and we needed to provide tax returns and financial statements for review. My parents and I submitted this information within two weeks of the request. Prior to this email requesting financial data, we have never heard from any representative at Whitney Bank despite being a 25 year client with a performing loan. XX/XX/XXXX, I was called by the representative from the bank and informed verbally that Whitney Bank was not going to renew the line of credit. They would offer us a term loan to payout the balance. When I inquired as to the reason for this decision, I was informed verbally that we were n't using the line properly. Our issue with Whitney Bank is that there was no outreach by them to connect with us as 25+years customers of the bank. There were no communications from Whitney Bank on any defaults on the terms of the loan. Nor were we given an opportunity to correct any defaults. Our complaints also include poor customer service from Whitney Bank and lack of investment in the minority community. If we were not in compliance with the terms of the loan, why would the bank representative ask us for tax returns and financial statements. If we were in default of the terms of the loan, then why request financials and tax returns?

I disputed twice with all XXXX bureaus and I had a few deletions but then they were reinserted on my file and I was never notified and they have to do it within 5 business days of reinsertion. Are they willing to sign an affidavit swearing under oath they sent me something? I get all of my mail and I received all the mail from them except for that. they did n't send me anything and by law they must remove it. not only that, but they did n't send me the procedure they used to verify these items and seeing my name on a screen does not qualify as verification. I asked for the documentation and they did n't provide it. they have a job to make certain that the information on my report is correct and not only that, they have to make sure that the info they receive from the creditors is correct and they did n't. I do n't know what this bankruyptcy is either and the only response is that it stays on my file 7-10 years. did I ask how long it stays on? No I did n't. I have already complained to the AG for my state and I will make a press release. they are treating me unfairly and are breaking the law!
