Re : Kohls Dept. Store. I made a small purchase of {$100.00} on a Kohls credit card. I paid off the balance on the first XXXX bills received, but the payments were late -- I believe that the bills came late. 

Kohls has been piling on exorbitant late fees since then, now well over {$100.00}, and further : they have been calling me **at XXXX literally every Saturday** for a couple of months, and now on Sundays as well, even though I 've told them on the phone to stop. This is harassment and a grossly excessive tactic, given the small amount in dispute. These are " live '' calls -- I also get XXXX calls daily on weekdays which I believe are robocalls. 

I charged {$100.00} at their store -- it does n't entitle them to ruin my sleep indefinitely. I will be sending them a letter asking them to stop the calls, but the very fact that they do this deserves notice and a complaint.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (FL)

I had a mortgage with Chase acct. # XXXX which was sold to XXXX acct # XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX they force placed insurance on my account and for YEARS I sent that I had had proof of insurance and they kept misapplying my payments towards escrow shortage rather than my mortgage & charging late fees. Finally in XX/XX/XXXX I spoke to someone with some sense and they mailed a check to me for theforce placed insurance. SInce in the interim they had sold th loan to XXXX ( Now XXXX ), when they sold the loan they transferred the incorrect amount. Therefore when I would send my payments to XXXX they kept returning them to me stating the payment was not enough to cover the debt. 
Chase sent the reimbursement check made out to XXXX AND THEY ( XXXX ) STILL returned the check to me stating it was n't enough. 
I finally thought that this nightmare was over last year, but it has continued to be an ongoing nightmare and my account keeps accumulating late fees & my payments continue being returned with them stating it is not enough to cover the debt. I have had to hire an attorney who also gets the run around. I have contacted the attorney for XXXX and even he can not get an answer from XXXX. 
XXXX states that they can not waive the previous late fees and misapplied funds because that it what was sent to them by Chase. 

What I need:1 ) Chase to correct the misapplied payments, remove the late fees, update the credit bureau and report the correct balance to XXXX. 
2 ) XXXX to waive the late fees, update my credit bureau apply the escrow credit balance and accept my payments for all of the payments that I have sent & have returned to me. I have this amount in my account and just want this nightmare to be over.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (MI)

My family I lived in the XXXX XXXX area all of our lives and I personally want to spend my retirement years in our XXXX home. I have seen good times and bad due to the economy and had been struggling in recent years due to a short-term job loss. Like you, I have provided XXXX. Unfortunately, I may be forced out of my home by my mortgage note holder, Citizens Bank since they have not been willing to work with me to retain my home. The only communication I have had with them is how much I owe on my mortgage and how to pay them. They have no interest in helping me and it appears as though they just want to take my home away via foreclosure. I have tried to obtain an affordable loan payment, but my requests for assistance have been ignored. 
I have a government insured loan and I am being denied access to options that are supposed to be made available. Further, I am certain that Citizens Bank would see clear to help me if I could engage someone above the line staff level to resolve my mortgage issues. I would like to see if you could help me speak with someone who can understand my problem and get the ball rolling on resolving my mortgage. 
In XX/XX/XXXX, Citizens Bank added {$310.00} per month to my regular payment. The payment climbed from {$450.00} to {$760.00}, no warning, and no type of correspondence providing this change in payment will take place. 
When I first applied for the purchase of my new home. I jumped through hoops trying to get qualified. They ran my credit, verify my household income, requested my paystubs and income tax return for the last two years. My application was fully documented. The underwriter reviewed my present financial situation and qualified me for a certain loan amount based on my yearly earnings, expenditures, to XXXX that fit my budget. 

XXXX XXXX if I went through all the red tape to qualify keeping me at an affordable mortgage payment and purchase price range. Why would they make a decision to increase my mortgage payment, if I knew this was going to happen? I would have never applied, and avoided the predicament me and my family is in. At the time my job cut my hour 's temporality. 



XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
XXXX, MI XXXXXXXXThis is what caused my mortgage delinquency. I showed good faith and tried to get back on track with my mortgage payments. By providing partial payments, for {$1300.00} from the {$4000.00} that I owe, back in XX/XX/XXXX. They demanded the lump sum paid in full, and Citizen bank refused any more partial payments, thus I could n't afford this caused me to fall further and further behind.

They gave me copies of the checks and told me that the originals would be sent in a few weeks, but they did not arrived yet. I tried to talk with the Western Union, but I did not receive any answer or help even trying to talk with different agents. I would like to take my money in cash as soon as possible.

Issue: Disclosure verification of debt — Not given enough info to verify debt
Company: CAINE & WEINER COMPANY, INC. (MI)

In fall 2014, Caine & Weiner ( C & W ) contacted me about collecting a debt associated my previous employer. After receiving the initial communication from C & W, I sent a letter in response requesting full documentation of the debt in question, since it was unclear on what the debt was and why it was being collected. C & W responded by providing some information, but not enough to explain the debt. 

On XXXX/XXXX/14, I requested additional information and, after receiving no response for several weeks, called C & W to inquire about the status of my request. My call was returned by a C & W employee who indicated that he had no intention of providing any additional documentation, despite the obvious lack of support for the debt. Further, the employee 's tone was hostile and threatening. 

I have since been discovered that Caine & Weiner has also taken action with several credit reporting companies including XXXX, and XXXX with regards to the account. 

The fact that Caine & Weiner knowingly ignored my request for additional documentation while simultaneously reporting negative information to credit reporting companies constitutes a clear violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Genesis Lending (NC)

In XXXX of 2015, I set up a XXXX month forbearance with Genesis Lending in which they would deduct {$40.00} every month for XXXX months. I received a letter stating what was set up over phone and another statement stating that it was going to deduct on a particular date as I had set up in XXXX and the payment was deducted accordingly. My father, who is a co-signer on this loan received a letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 stating that this account is past due and payment was owed immediately. I called Genesis Lending and was told that my forbearance was processed incorrectly and that the last associate I spoke with was wrong in the terms of repayment that they offered me. But because this was their mistake, he offered to fix this for me and to put a new plan of forbearance in for processing that would be {$40.00} for 6 months, {$80.00} for the next 6 months and then {$160.00} for the following 6 months. When asked why I had not been advised as to this processing issue he stated that a representative had called me on XXXX XXXX, 2015 and was unable to leave a voice mail. I never received a call from Genesis Lending. When I asked why I had not been notified in writing he responded with " I do n't know ''. I got no answers, but just an offer to change my forbearance plan to something I did n't originally agree with. This company has not learned its lesson and is BAD business.

On that basis, to date I have never used their services and was n't given the product as described.
