Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (NC)

Re : Case # XXXXXXXXDear Select Portfolio, I received a copy of your letter to the NC Department of Justice. I do not agree with your explanation of what caused this satisfaction certificate to be filed in XXXX. You maintain that the note was canceled in error by XXXX, the owner of XXXX, is the original lender on the loan, in XXXX. 
XXXX initially disputed having canceled the loan and referred me to XXXX, who they claimed I should contact, as the signer on the certificate was XXXX XXXX, is an employee of XXXX. 
XXXX has denied servicing a loan in the name of, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX, NC XXXX. 
SPS has stated repeatedly that they have serviced the loan since XXXX, and sent the payments to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I have information from XXXX XXXX XXXX saying they held XXXX files in their vault until XXXX. At that time they returned those files to XXXX, and that SPS was the servicer. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX has written that they have not received any payments from you on that loan, and that no payments were due them. So how was the certificate of satisfaction filed in their name? During recent conversations with XXXX XXXX XXXX, they still say they had nothing to do with this. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX has had a change of heart. They previously said that SPS was not their servicer when the loan was satisfied. Now it appears they are admitting that SPS fka XXXX XXXX was. 
XXXX stated that they did not cancel the mortgage. If they had did it in error, why did they continue to deny canceling it, and are now trying to change what they have said? 
There appears to be a conspiracy in progress here.

Company: Resurgent Capital Services L.P. (FL)

multiple threatening calls from an agent named XXXX, who was rude and disrespectful to me on the phone. She also threatened to sue me and take away my property if i did not pay. She called me abusive and condescending names, and refused to provide me with a manager when requested. She then attempted to illegally withdraw funds from my bank account after I advised that I did not authorize it. She somehow found out my banking information and made multiple attempts to withdraw funds. Its now been over XXXX years, and the debt is beyond the statue of limitations, and thus has been removed from my credit reports as of XXXX 2015. It can not be placed back on it, and they can not attempt to threaten me to do so.

Our issue began this year, because of a mortgage default. We attempt on several occasion to rectify with Bank of America. Currently we have experience a lack of communication by our appointed point of contact, and customer retention manager ( CRM ). We have receive notice that we qualify for a short sale, however after only two months of marketing we were informed that our marketing period had ended. We have research and informed the bank that in our current market the time frame to sale is at a minimum of 120 days. We have set varies appointment with the CRM, in which no effort to make contact was made by BOA, neither to us or to the Realtor on file. When we attempt to call the bank the representative who answer tells us that our CRM is not currently available, and attempts to help us with a limited capacity/ while informing us that we would have to make another appointment with the assign CRM. Our Realtor, using the XXXX system has submit, a offer ( cash ) that has been waiting in the equator system, for almost a week. Upon calling Bank of America, they informed us that the offer has not been reviewed, and that current the reviewer is not available. Furthermore that the Customer Retention Managers do not have access to the very system they are should using to help us with the short sale. As a Veteran of XXXX, I expected a little more cooperation. I have repeatedly ask that the property be reevaluated, as the values in our have are on a continuous decline. I am not sure where to turn. I am even willing to complete a deed in lieu, however upon asking the bank, apparently that is not an option. How is that not an option if the foreclosure sale date was already set.

Company: BANK OF THE WEST (TX)

I had a checking account with Bank of the West. Because I no longer live in a state they serve, I wanted to close my account. They told me the only way I could do that was by mail. I sent a letter, overnight via XXXX requesting they close the account. A few days later I received a cashiers check in the mail for the remaining balance. So far so good. However, I kept receiving forms in the mail informing me of overdrafts to the account. I do not know why, but apparently an old utility account ( XXXX ) was attempting to draw from the account. All utilities accounts which used to draw from the account were closed before I closed the checking account. When I spoke to the bank to explain the situation, I asked them to reverse the charges and clear my account. They were uncooperative and threatened to turn me over to collections. They said it should have been disclosed to me that there was a five day window. I was never told this. I was hoping they would come to their senses, but this afternoon, I received a call from a collector. The most striking thing to me about this situation is that the overdrafts were caused by Bank of the West writing me a cashiers check too early!

In XX/XX/XXXX I lost my job. We continued to make our house payment until our savings ran out, while I desperately searched for a job. We went to our lender for help but could not get any. When a trustee sale was posted for XX/XX/XXXX we hired the XXXX XXXX XXXX to assist us in trying to get a loan modification. Both my husband and I are now working full time and we have very good income. The XXXX XXXX XXXX submitted the loan modification package on XX/XX/XXXX and the sale was postponed and placed on hold. On XX/XX/XXXX Ocwen denied our loan modification request stating that we did not make enough money to qualify. Ocwen calculated our income incorrectly at {$11000.00} a month. Our actual income is {$13000.00} a month. The denial letter also stated that the owner of our loan, XXXX XXXX, would not do any principal reductions. The XXXX XXXX XXXX appealed the denial in a letter that was sent to Ocwen on XX/XX/XXXX. In the appeal letter they disputed the income and also attached a copy of a loan modification they had received for another client with the same owner, XXXX XXXX, that offered a principal reduction. On XX/XX/XXXX Ocwen denied the appeal and stuck by their original reason for denial. The letter also stated that the only way that they could do the modification is if we could qualify for a payment of {$8200.00}. There were no other details such as rate, term or principal balance. There is no way we can make this payment. Our interest rate is very high at 6 %. Our principal balance is now at {$1000000.00} because of past due payments but the house is only worth {$850000.00}. We do not want to lose our home! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
