Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Don't agree with fees charged
Company: Performant Financial Corporation (TX)

Following from unsolved issue with Case number : XXXX. 
There are still multiple issues with Performant 's actions. 1 ) When I called two weeks ago seeking documentation about how my payments were allocated against the loan, I was told Performant no longer had any documentation concerning my loan. Pull the recorded tapes to validate. That is a unfair and deceptive practice. Only reason I have been provided any responses is because I engaged the CFPB. 2 ) Performant is claiming that I voluntarily enter the rehab payment plan. That is untrue. I was forced into the plan by Performant and threatened with wage garnishment. Further, when I submitted all my monthly expenses to validate I could not afford $ XXXX/month Performant said I was denied by American Student Assistance and payment was either {$800.00} or likely a higher wage garnishment. Again pull the recorded conversations. Therefore, I want evidence that my monthly expense forms were sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX and reviewed, and subsequently denied. I want a paper trail. 3 ) Based on the information provided by Performant it appears that Performant collected over {$5500.00} in collections fees. I would like to know how that is reasonable in comparison to a rehabilitation program to which I paid in {$7200.00}? That is XXXX % collection fees. There appears to be a serious conflict of interest between XXXX XXXX XXXX and Performant. Performant ensures high payments are made to collect extremely high fees, then XXXX XXXX XXXX continues to collect on a loan which virtually was paid down none in the rehab program. Look forward to your response.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC (CO)

I wish to file a long overdue complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX and Green Tree Servicing LLC, now Ditech Financial LLC. I apologize that this is happening so late and I wish I had more pieces of documentation to include, as I have spoken to so many people over the last few years and was told I had no other options and thus, I foolishly shredded some of the old forms when I also had to purge some of my mother 's old documents. However, I kept my log notes and with that, I will construct as detailed of a timeline as I can to explain how horribly I have been treated by both companies and how my health, current mortgage and living situation are all still being impacted by this ongoing display of poor communication, truly unconscionable customer service and what appears to be all-around unethical business practices. 

I have witnessed extreme unprofessional behavior and poor communication as well as feel I have been treated unbelievably unfairly for over 6 years by not XXXX, but XXXX companies ; though all are inter-related in regards to my initial application for the Making Home Affordable Program in XX/XX/XXXX, up to the present as my mortgage and supposedly also my HELOC has transferred hands now 3 times, even after I was told my HELOC was closed in XX/XX/XXXX. Yet, each company blames the other. yet offers me no formal options and has prevented from refinancing, as I am still sitting at 7.125 % interest and have dealt with so much, both XXXX and financially these past 6 years and this is my last hope for justice and resolution. I am not sure what exactly to mark below, as you will see this complaint/issue crosses several areas. 

Please refer to my very detailed letter and all of the subsequent attachments.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC (MI)

My mortgage servicer and lender ( s ), Shellpoint Mortgage, et. al., will not acknowledge nor process my application for modification. I have sent it via email to XXXX ( XXXX ) email addresses they gave me and also, for good measure, sent it by First Class US mail. I followed up months after sending it in, but, they will not acknowledge nor process my modificatiion application. They now say that I they have given me loss mitigation options, but, they have not, refuse to process my application! They are referring my file to foreclosure. I have been trying to modify this for years and this is what happens every time. They also are harassing my wife ( who is not on the account whatsoever ), my little girl ( XXXX years old ) and my son ( XXXX years old ), by sending a man to our front door and interrogating my family about collection / foreclosure, writing erroneous collection / payment demand letters and communicating on the phone about erroneous collection / payment demands. This man would not give his name or his company. I requested information pertaining to this man, who has been to our home on multiple occasions, but, Shellpoint, nor XXXX or XXXX would not respond. Also, they have given me multiple names of Owners of the 'loan ' including XXXX , XXXX and XXXX. I requested a meeting or video conference to see the Original Note, but, they will not respond. I want to see who is on it ( my wife is really upset because she is not on it ), who the real Owner is? and who they endorsed the Note to. If I had all of the money to pay this off, I would Honestly not know who to pay and would not for fear of XXXX or XXXX or XXXX other entities trying to collect on me ( and illegally attempting to collect my wife, daughter and son at our home )! I know that the RESPA law requires that they properly accept, acknowledge and process a loan modification / loss mitigation request timely prior to taking people 's homes. I ask that you require that they enforce this, with whatever authority you have or offer me any guidance and / or direction to remedy this large problem. Thank you so much in advance.

Company: BB&T CORPORATION (VA)

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I closed an account at XXXX XXXX and took the cashiers check to my Bank, Branch Banking and Trust, XXXX XXXX, XXXX Va, to open a savings account to be linked to my checking account. I have had a checking account with BB & T since XX/XX/XXXX and have always handled the account in a satisfactory manner. I had a balance of {$8000.00} in the checking account, collected funds. While at BB & T they treated me like a criminal, but that is not why I am complaining. I opened the saving account for {$20000.00}. Approximately {$19000.00} with the cashiers check and the other transferred from my checking account. I am complaing because they pulled a credit report on me without my authorization. It showed up on Equifax as a hard pull. BB & T never disclosed to me that they would be running a credit report. Now the inquiry shows up on my credit report indicating I was trying to get credit. I never asked they for any credit and told them that I had no interest in receiving overdraft banking or a credit card. They put the cashiers check on a 7 day hold, which was fine with me. This should have given the proper assurance that the transaction would be valid.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC (CA)

I filed an insurance claim to my insurance company for damage. They issued me a check written to me and my mortgage company. I signed the check and sent it overnite express to the mortgage company. They re received the check XXXX/XXXX/2016 they never said what other information they would need. The only way I found out anything was by calling to make sure they received the check and asked how long before they would be sending me they money. That is when I was informed about all the different documents they needed before they would issue me any money. Mind you the documents they needed were not anything I was familiar with so I had to keep calling them to make sure I was sending the correct items. Every time I called I had to go through customer service and give my account number my name the property address and last XXXX of my social and my home phone and cell phone number before I could ask any questions. Each time I was connected to a different person. I was told so many different answers. 
Each person would tell me something they needed in addition to the I items I already sent. Other calls I was told they never received the items so I would have to fax the papers again. I faxed over to them 3 times the contractors list. Also 3 times the adjusters itemized list. Also the XXXX. They never once contacted me to say they have not received any of of my faxes. I would only find out when I called. I would be told yes we received it, I would call back in 2 days to see if the check has been released nd would be told no because we still need the contractors list. 
Even though I was told by another individual days prior that they had everything they needed. Each time they received any paperwork from I was told it would take 7-10 business days to review it. In 10 days I will be on the street with my XXXX dogs and my daughter looking for a place to sleep because my insurance will not pay any more housing for me. 
I do not have money for hotel stay for us and our dogs. This entire situation with the mortgage company has made me so ill. I stress all the time. My daughter is XXXX years old and has made her worry that we will not have a place to live when she starts school. My contactor has mentioned passing on my home because he has passed a couple of jobs up because we keep anticipating my job starting. I feel they are using my money for their gain and the employees they have are very incompetent I need my money now. I am the one who pays the insur ance not them.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Onity Group Inc. (AR)

Our mortgage servicing company OCWEN every 6 months sends us a notice that our Condominium Association Master Insurance Policy on our rental property has expired. It then requires us to contact the Homeowners association and master insurance company to provide all the master policy information, endorsements, etc., etc. What on earth is the mortgage servicing company getting paid for if not for basic services like establishing contact the Homeowners Association to verify their Master insurance coverage? We are hounded every 6 months with this repeated huge paperwork exercise. OCWEN is getting paid to do this or do I misunderstand their obligations and what they are being paid for? We understand perfectly our requirement to verify we have homeowners insurance on the condo itself. 
This is just one of the regular hassles that OCWEN puts us through because they do not follow up on the information we provide or require repeated re-sendings of information and paperwork because they lose track of our material. OCWEN is without a doubt the worst organization we have ever dealt with concerning mortgages and insurance. Constant difficulties.

Company: BMO Bank, N.A. (IL)

To who may concern, This update is continuing for previous complain and recent BMO Harris bank action of my home equity line of credit. I started my proces two and half months before my maturity date XX/XX/2016.All documents required by the bank has been promptly delivered on day one and no additional paperwork after that. Through that time I received offer that Harris bank declined itself by saying they overlooked some details. 
Then all two months no communication about specific product of modification, new home equity line of credit until 3 business days before my maturity date I received some documents ( see attached files ). First two months old decline offer, second bill for {$150.00} and third info about hardship and foreclosure. This only proves that the BMO Harris bank has no interest to protect that time bank 's money of {$150.00} while bank estimated my home value for {$120.00} ( well underpriced and initial complain describe that I offered {$50.00} down to keep going with helc ). 
Set it all together it shows fot the BMO Harris bank 's dirty practices and I believe that cases like this one would halp the state and federal law enforcement agencies to protect other customers against this bank. 
Sincerely XXXX
