Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: Onity Group Inc. (TX)

In XXXX of 2012 We had some financial issues and had to file for chapter XXXX bankruptcy. Immediately following our filing date, Ocwen did an escrow adjustment raising the amount of our monthly payment from {$480.00} to {$660.00}. They also at this time stopped sending us a monthly statement. When I talked to a representative they told me their system was down and were unable to send a statement at that time nor did they tell me of the rate increase. Being that we had just gotten all the necessary paperwork completed for the bankruptcy, we were under the assumption that all delinquent amounts were accounted for and set up in the payment plan to our trustee. After several months the bankruptcy attorney had informed me that Ocwen had still not responded to the claim from the trustees office and asked if I would contact them to see what was the matter. I contacted Ocwen a second time and was told they had not received a claim. I again asked about a monthly statement and was told again that their system was down and no one was getting a monthly statement. Soon after, the bankruptcy attorney contacted me again stating that Ocwen had filed the claim, however it was past the deadline and rejected by the trustee. I contacted Ocwen a third time and was told we needed to file for a modification and that the claim amount they filed was incorrect. They also informed me that we were now further behind in our payments. I told them we had been making our payments every month and they said they were not accepting the payments because they were only partial payments. This is when I became aware of the additional amount for escrow. I told them I was unaware of any increase because they had not been sending us a monthly statement. I inquired about the statements again and got the same response as the previous XXXX times. Time has gone by and we still have no resolve in the issue. The trustee has not made any payments to Ocwen, because they have no claim on file. Ocwen also failed to notify the trustee of my monthly payment increase. I have contacted Ocwen again and reapplied for a modification but was denied. I asked about monthly statements again and was told this time I needed to request them. So, because of Ocwen not following through the way they should have, and because of not getting any statements showing what was due, they are now showing us to be more than {$12000.00} behind our original amount past due which at time of filing was just over {$3800.00}. This has now placed approximately {$400.00} a month more towards our monthly expenses. {$170.00} towards our mortgage and an additional {$200.00} towards our trustee payment. We are trying very hard to make this right and to keep our home. However, we feel that Ocwen is doing everything they can to make this impossible.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NY)

Macys continues to call my home every other night at approximately XXXX XXXX to try to collect an alleged miniscule balance on a store credit card plus late fees on late fees on late fees. Because I do not believe I owe the anything, I have asked for documentation of the alleged outstanding balance together with a record of payments I have made. I cancelled the card and because they refused to provide documentation, I filed a prior complaint with your agency requesting documentation and the cessation of the unending phone calls. Macys is dragging its feet in responding to the request for documentation and has now requested an additional 60 days, as you informed me in a recent email status report. 
Meanwhile, the phone calls continue. This complaint is to request relief that the phone calls to my home cease immediately pending resolution on this disputed debt.

Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC. (CA)

Mortgage with PennyMac. In error, I did not notice that they had been escrowing $ for my insurance of which I had on the property until the took an additional {$500.00} with my XXXX payment. My error. I have called them along with my insurance company repeatedly regarding and my insurance has sent over the proof declaration page multiple times. Every time I have called they say they did n't receive it, even once when I was assured the rep was on the phone with my insurance and would not hang up until she saw the fax. Well that was not true as we had to send again the week later. Also they say they take notes, but then they have nothing regarding. After numerous calls and runarounds, I was assured XXXX/XXXX/15 that I would be receiving a check for {$1900.00} from XXXX # XXXX and to call back today to see when it would be processed. Now after multiple runarounds, I am told that they do not have it, they have a 90 day binder and that is not enough to release the funds which 100 % contradicts what they told me last week. So again, I have to contact my insurance company to send them over a new declaration. They have had the documents no less than 3 times of what they needed. They are STEALING my money I am owed and was promised I would get on my phone call last week. I assume they are filing it to the wrong loan or something, because they can not get it right! I have spoken from the names I wrote down to XXXX # XXXX, promised call back, did n't, XXXX # XXXX promised would stay on hold with insurance company until she had correct form, have spoken to XXXX XXXX, today was XXXX who swears they only have 1 document which is wrong. This does not include the numerous calls my insurance company has made with them as well to straighten this out.

Issue: Delinquent account — 
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (NC)

Barclaycardusa filed a fraudulent court document on XX/XX/XXXX and a voluntary dismissal on XX/XX/XXXX/ I believe the fraudulent documents were filed so Barclaycardusa could avoid responding to my complaints to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau during this period. I was offered a {$2900.00} settlement in XXXX XXXXby XXXX XXXX but Barclaycard refused to honor it and then demanded over {$7900.00} to be paid within 5 days of this fraudulently filed document on XX/XX/XXXX. Is this some kind of unfair and deceptive trade practice or yet unfair debt collection practice? 
I was never served with this court action as Barclay sent it to an address where I do not reside nor the address on my Barclay card account. Also, Barclaycard stated I was delinquent for payments due in XXXX, XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX -- dates which have not yet arrived. Moreover, I am reporting unfair debt collection practices. 

I am reporting unfair debt collection practices as I was in email negotiations with a papralegal named XXXX XXXX and then this occurred during these negotiations. 

To defame my character is this fashion is actionable. I was making payments. I even had an agreement to make certain payments less than the minimum but the court document sought to shame me for less than full payments. 

I beleive Barclaycardusa lied to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to keep from responding to my complaints and their inquiries due to the excuse that this matter was in litigation when it was already dismissed. 

It is a shameful practice that Barclaycardusa used against me.

I do n't appreciate being lied to, especially since this was under the guise trying to intimidate me the use of the statements " Litigation Department '' and having an attorney review the account. He knew what he was saying, and had I not questioned him about his tactics and statements he would have continued on. He was quite rude after that point and I stated since he was in the litigation department I wanted to have one of their attorneys review the account to which he replied, " So you 're saying you 're not going to make payment arrangements? '' I said, '' Do not put words in my mouth. '' I want your attorney to review the account, and he repeated his statement about making a payment again. I then ended the phone call.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

Hello, I have received a mail dated back to XXXX/XXXX/2013 for a debt collection of the amount of {$170.00} from the Bank of America. 

I was never aware or notified of this debt by the bank. I believe this to be an unfair practice as I have never been notified or warned that this unknown debt would be sent straight to the collection agency XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Not once have the collectors contacted me about this debt I owe to the Bank of America and now I receive this mail stating that I owe a certain amount without any reason as to why. If this were true and they communicated with me in an appropriate manner, I would have payed this off immediately without hesitating as this would affect my credit immensely.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (IN)

I took out this loan a long time ago when I was working on my XXXX degree. I recently about a XXXX ago finished my XXXX Degree. I have a private student loan with Wells Fargo. I explained to them that as of right now the XXXX dollar monthly payment would not be feasible due to unexpected expenses that came up. They offered me a XXXX month forbearance which they went back and forth people telling me different things and I think I received XXXX month forbearance. I asked if there is anyway to get my payment lowered for a while because I definitely want to make my payments but I just ca n't afford what it is set at now. They said no there is nothing that they can do to help me, they can not lower the payment and that I just have to deal with my payment amount and make my payment. I ca n't believe that there is no help for me whatsoever. Is there anyone out there that can help me? Wells Fargo never wants to help you, it is always your fault, I just need it lowered for a while so that way I can make the payments on time. Please let me know if there is any help.

Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC (TX)

XX/XX/2015 I informed Quicken Loans of XXXX Michigan that my property taxes had been reduced by XXXX by phone. The agents name was XXXX he seemed very distant on the phone like he was doing something else and said he would have a loan officer contact me. 
No one ever did so another follow up call was made and this time XXXX said he would get a supervisor on the phone. He promptly hung up on me and I immediately called back. This time I was transferred to a " supervisor named XXXX she told me that the issue would be cleared up " XX/XX/XXXX '' again ignoring my request. I immediately hung up the phone and contacted a loan agent by the name of XXXXXXXXXXXX each and every time I called I did a follow up email to QL knowing I needed to create a paper trail. 

Well XXXX did nothing for my cause so I wrote yet another email to the auditing and escrow I still have had no solution the departments at QL. The problem was they reported again ( lied ) that they paid my property taxes, again this year they always have for the 3 years I have been with them. Ever since I have been with Quicken loans insurance agent has called me concerning payment when my insurance was due last year I had to give him a Echeck to keep my insurance from lapsing. I am tired of this from Quicken loans waiting until the last minute to pay insurance and escrow due. They add to the website I view to see my payments that it has been paid but it has not. One of the employees at QL did pass on to me that they use a 3 rd party vendor to pay all taxes and insurance, without my authorization. 

The last person I spoke to at QL again blew me off XX/XX/XXXX saying it would be fixed XX/XX/XXXX if the could get my money back from the 3 rd party vendor. Included with my XX/XX/XXXX payment was a note figuring out my new payments along with the deducted tax error I have never been late with my mortgage payments with QL, XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXXX in 35 years on any homes I own. I feel as though QL does n't really care once they " have you '' under contract. No matter how high I moved up the ladder the attitude was the same. 
I was shocked when I received my mortgage statement today and opened when they almost doubled. I am very tired of QL and if they have problems paying from my escrow I will create my own escrow and pay it ... .on time with no lies. I have full documentation including cell phone logs to support what I have stated. Sorry about all the typos I can only view XXXX of this page to edit complaint form.

For some time, I have been having tremendous problems with American Express Serve I can not get anything put into dispute, no matter the situation. The customer service representatives are rude, disrespectful, and adamant about not doing their jobs, despite the fact I am NOT being rude to them. For instance, day-before-yesterday, I called to put some items in dispute - charges I did not recognize. I spoke to XXXX, who immedIately said she would review my account. Go over the entire account! Huhn!!!! Just because I wanted to dispute items? What does one have to do with the other??? She was disrespectful - and told me she needed to transfer me to account protection. XXXX is a supervisor. You 're telling me that she does NOT have the power to dispute charges and needed to transfer me? I want HER FIRED, because of rudeness and dereliction of duty! I want the abuse from Serve to stop. I have already made the decision to leave and are waiting to get my new pre-paid card.

I have disputed with Experian an entry on my credit report for XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have also disputed it with the company, XXXX XXXX XXXX to no resolve. I became aware of the entry when I was denied credit a few months ago. I was not aware of this debt. Since my original dispute, XXXX XXXX XXXX updated on my report that they received the account from XXXX XXXX XXXX. The inaccuracy in my report is that XXXX XXXX XXXX is not reporting the correct 1st Date of Delinquency. My account became delinquent with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX 2010, which means that XXXX XXXX XXXX should be reporting the same delinquency date if they are stating they own the account. I have never paid them anything and just find out they owned the account a few months ago after applying for credit. I have communicated with Experian and XXXX XXXX XXXX with no resolve. XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to say they are researching the information while continuing to report inaccurate information on my report. Experian states that they investigated and verified but neither organization has provided me with anything from the investigation. I submitted correspondence to both. I have enclosed letters that I have sent and a copy of the report I am referring to.
