Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (GA)

I am located in Georgia and our area was declared a Disaster Area. My mortgage company, Wells Fargo sent out a letter stating that since we were in a disaster area that payments would be suspended for three months and no late fees or negative credit reporting would be done during this period. This applied to home loans and Equity lines of credit, which I have both. The letter did not state that at the end of the three months you would be required to make all of the payments at once and all late fees would accrue. The letter was very vague and misleading. Now I am receiving a notice that my mortgage is in default. How can this be possible? How is someone expected to make 3 months worth of payments as once when they were having trouble making the regular monthly payment because of extra expenses from the disaster? It would have been easier to try and come up with the regular monthly payment. 

In researching I am not the only Wells Fargo customer who has experienced this problem. I ask you help in resolving this matter, not only for myself but for the others who have been affected and are now in jeopardy of default.

Company: Collection Bureau of Fort Walton Beach, Inc (FL)

I received an email stating that a debt collector called collection bureau of fwb has been placed on my credit report back in XX/XX/2013 for {$57.00} dollars. I disputed this many times stating I have no knowledge of this account, I never even heard of XXXX XXXX. I'm very upset that this has been placed on my account due to me not even knowing about this medical facility of whatever this maybe. I've tried contacting this place to notify them that I have no knowledge of this account and to remove this off of my credit report.

Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MD)

I took out a HELOC when I purchased my home and it had a 10-year interest only period followed by a 15-year repayment period that would include principle and interest. 

When I first went into repayment period in XX/XX/XXXX,  I looked at the payment and thought it was high but I trusted the bank, which is Bank of America. Then roll it forward in XX/XX/XXXX, I decided to recalculate the payment myself and learned that the remaining term is not consistent with my loan documents. My loan matures in XX/XX/XXXX,  leaving approximately 12 years to maturity. However, the bank is calculating a remaining term of 9 years because I have paid extra towards the principle. My contention is that I should have the full remaining term used to calculate the payment rather than a reduced amortization period. 

Using a shorter window for my repayment period makes my payment much higher and it has been a struggle. My payment, if calculated on the true remaining term, would be approximately {$140.00} less each month. 

So, I believe that the bank is wrong for forcing me to make a payment on a shorter period than my maturity date.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (CA)

A {$500.00} charge was initiated on the card by XXXX App on XX/XX/XXXX. The merchant promised to deliver 2 {$500.00} gift cards for this amount. The promised delivery date was XX/XX/XXXX. The merchant was contacted multiple times and eventually they promised a refund after the delivery date was missed. I have proof of these contacts. 

After receiving no refund, I opened a dispute on XX/XX/XXXX. According to my billing statement, it looked like the merchant had refunded me manually since the {$500.00} credit did not say anything about a temporary credit. I then canceled the dispute assuming that it was resolved. I contacted Chase via secure message to let them know I am ONLY canceling the dispute under the assumption the merchant has done a refund on their end. This was obviously not the case, and on XX/XX/XXXX Chase rebilled me {$500.00}. 

I contacted Chase on XX/XX/XXXX and was told I needed to fax in a letter to reopen the dispute and get the {$500.00} credited back. I did so the same day. I then contacted Chase on XX/XX/XXXX to check on the status, and Chase informed me they had not received the fax. I was told that I needed to send it again to reopen the dispute. I have confirmation that the fax was submitted.
