I consented to a one time charge for my FICO score and was unfairly and deceptively enrolled into a program which had recurring charges to the amount of {$21.00} a month. When I contacted the company and told them I did not want or need this product, they cancelled the recurring billing but refused to refund my money. I have not used the product nor wanted it to begin with. I feel like they pulled a bait and switch on me and they do this to consumers all the time, earning {$21.00} out of each one while actually never providing any product or service.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Ditech Financial LLC (GA)

I have NEVER EVER been late on my mortgage. I set up an automatic bill pay through my online banking and every two weeks they get a payment from me. I alway pay a little over and I am 2 weeks ahead. 

DiTech, the mortgage servicing company, misappropriated my payment a couple of months ago. I have called them on numerous occasions and each time they look into the record, they see what has happened, and tell me that they have to submit the issue to another department to rectify the problem ( place the payment in the appropriate account ). After a while, they begin to tell me how behind the department is and that is why the payment has not been correctly appropriated. However they still assure me that everything is alright. Then the following week I am getting emails and phone calls about the same issue. I am told the computer is automatically generating the calls and letters, but rest assured everything is okay. Finally I spoke with a Supervisor, who tells me that she sees the problem and that the previous advisors had not contacted the right person, she is going to contact the department head and I should not have any more problems. Now, I am concerned because they have started charging me late fees and my statements show I am thousands of dollars behind. 
The final straw was that I am now receiving letters from a collections agency, which greatly concerns me, because that means this is showing up on my stellar credit report. I am livid now, because we work hard to pay our bills on time, we work hard to keep good credit and to have this happen while they are getting my payments every two weeks is appalling. Can someone PLEEEAASE help me straighten out this mess! Please explain my rights or options.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: GOLD STAR MORTGAGE FINANCIAL (MI)

Summary : I several times applied for the PMI cancellation, strictly following the procedure described in the closing documents, however, the Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group, XXXX XXXX MI, did not even respond my letters. <P/>1. I closed purchasing the house on XXXX XXXX XXXX. The property price was {$120000.00}. The conventional mortgage for {$110000.00} ( which is 95 % CLTV ) had been provided by the Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group, Inc. <P/>2. Upon received the closing disclosure on XXXX XXXX XXXX I found that the PMI monthly payments had been suddenly and significantly elevated compared with the figures disclosed before. My objections were ignored. <P/>3. To avoid paying this elevated PMI, I chose to prepay {$18000.00}, to reduce the principal lien to {$100000.00} and accordingly the CLTV to 80 %. To achieve this, on XXXX XXXX I sent a letter to the Lender with a check for {$8800.00} and informed them that on XXXX XXXX XXXX I would send them another check for {$9900.00} and requested to cancel mortgage insurance. The Mortgage Insurance disclosure signed at closing explicitly claimed my right to demand the PMI cancellation once the principal debt ( $ XXXX $ XXXX $ XXXX {$100000.00} ) reduces to 80 % of the original purchase price ( $ XXXX*80 % = {$100000.00} ), which occurred prior to XXXX XXXX XXXX. <P/>4. The Lender did not address my request, they even did not clear checks for a while. On XXXX XXXX I sent another letter, reminding about my right to partially prepay the principal with no penalty. After this the checks were cleared, however, there was no motion with the PMI cancellation. Upon my visit to the Lender 's office, on XXXX XXXX I sent a third letter to the Lender, to emphasize that their position and a wish not to do anything with the PMI directly contradicts to the closing documents. However, still there is no motion about the the PMI cancellation. <P/>I am attaching only my letters to the Gold Star Mortgage Financial Group. The closing documents look standard, however, can be sent upon request.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX)

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I was accepted into Wells Fargo Loan Modification Program Trial Period. I voluntarily sought help before I became delinquent with my mortgage payments. I was not under any foreclosure process. At that time I was advised by Preservation Specialist XXXX that I would not make a XXXX XXXX Mortgage Payment since being accepted into the Modification Program. However, since my mortgage payment was automatically debited from my bank account and, my XXXX XXXX mortgage of {$800.00} was paid. 
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I was assigned a new Wells Fargo Preservation Specialist XXXX who informed me that since I had made an " overpayment in XXXX XXXX '' that it would not be necessary for me to make the required XXXX XXXX Trial Payment. The Preservation Specialist audit my account and advised the following with my agreement to have these payments automatically debited from my bank account for XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX {$540.00} - Confirmation # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX {$550.00} - Confirmation # XXXX On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I received an email from a new Wells Fargo Preservation Specialist XXXX stating that he had been assigned to my case. 
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I contacted the Preservation Specialist XXXX to request a status update due to a letter received from Wells Fargo about enrolling into a Modification Program ; however he was not available and I was directed to speak to a different Specialist. This person reviewed my file and informed me that I owed {$550.00} as a result of being misinformed by Wells Fargo Preservation Specialist XXXX that no payment was due for XXXX XXXX. 
Although I attempted to explain the overpayment made in XXXX XXXX, to be current for the final Modification I had to pay the {$550.00} covering XXXX payment and balance due for the XXXX payment. 
I faxed my newly assigned Specialist XXXX requesting that he confer with Specialist XXXX to find out how she calculated my trial payments for XXXX and XXXX. I also attached various faxes questioning the misinformation I was receiving each time a new Preservation Specialist was assigned to my case. 
I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and I have never experienced this type of confusion between the various people assigned to help me through the XXXX Modification Program. It is apparent that there is no debriefing communication between individuals assigned to my case.

RE : Report # XXXX I 'm complaining because Experian have failed to comply with, furthermore wilfully ignored, my request to provide me with the documents that their company have on file that was used to verify the accounts that I disputed in writing back in XXXX. On XXXX XXXX of this year, I sent them a dispute letter requesting that they verify all data for the disputed accounts and 40+ days later I have yet to receive anything of the sort. <P/>Because it is well past the 30 days permitted by law, and they are unable to verify the account, the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) explicitly states that they are required by federal law to " ... promptly delete all information which can not be verified. '' namely the accounts in my dispute. <P/>I ask that you resolve this matter with urgency as my character is being defamed by their wilful non-compliance with the FCRA. Thank you.

Product: Bank account or service — (CD) Certificate of deposit
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals — 
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (NY)

To whom may concern, I was charged {$520.00} as penalty to withdraw a CDs. Please allow me to demonstrate the unfairness from TD bank services. 
XXXX. I tried to stop the transaction before it is completed. I opened a CDs online on TD website, but I realized my investment on TD was poor, and I tried to stop its process before it is completed. So within an hour, I called Customer Services to stop it, they said they can not and I need to go to the branch. I went to the branch ( XXXX ) right away ; the banker XXXX XXXX tried to reverse it for me, but he said the CDs is not on the system yet, so I have to wait 72 hours to come back for any action. I came back to the branch next Monday, Banker XXXX XXXX picked up my case and brought it up to her manager XXXX XXXX. XXXX brought it up to her Region Manager ( I can not get the name ). The top manager insisted I should pay full penalty. 
2. I invested the CDs with Step rate of 5 years, and the first year rate was just 0.35 %. Why my penalty is too high? For step rate CDs, I can take out all my monies after a year matured. With the Cds amount of $ XXXX, I will make interest of {$260.00} for the first year. My penalty is {$520.00} which is much higher than the interest I would make. 
3. TD bank did not give sufficient and clear information when I opened the account online. TD website did not clearly state the penalty of withdrawing a Cds. It makes it too simple to open a CD account. 
Please investigate my case, I am complaining because the TD bank 's delayed process, the top manager 's disregard, the unclear high penalty, and insufficient provided related information.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Received bad information about my loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (PA)

I am XXXX, with a retroactive date to XX/XX/XXXX. I found out I had student loans with Navient, they refused to help me file an identity theft issue. I spoke with them multiple times, between XXXX and XXXX, and told them I was XXXX and could n't work, and was waiting for a decision from Social Security. I told them I had Medicaid and got XXXX. They told me to put my loans in deferment and forbearance status, and that no interest would accrue. They told me that once I was approved for XXXX, they would discharge the loans. I was approved for XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. When I sent them the award letter, they said that they could n't discharge it because my review would be in XXXX, even though they said I was XXXX since XXXX and that entails a review 5 years from the date of award, they said I did n't qualify for XXXX discharge because I had a review scheduled in 2 years, not 5 or 7. They then told me to defer and forbear my loans again, and that no interest would accrue. I told them I made XXXX per month. Last month, Navient sent a letter saying a payment was due for {$9.00}. I paid it. Then they told me next months payment would be {$150.00}. I spoke to the Department of Education, because I had loans due to them to, and they told me I needed to apply for income based repayment. I applied through student loans.gov to do income based repayment for navient and department of education. They approved me with a monthly payment of {$0.00} over the next 25 years. I logged in to Navient and it was approved for {$0.00} over 25 years, with annual renewal forms. However, I noticed interest has accrued on my loans since XXXX. Navient never told me I could apply for income based repayment, and the department of education did not tell me that either until I started crying on the phone because I could n't afford payments and the interest kept accruing. Basically I qualified for income based repayment since XX/XX/XXXX when I applied for social security benefits. And nobody told me. I could have entered an IBR then and had three years worth of {$0.00} payments completed and be 3 years closer to having my loans forgiven/paid off! And I also would n't have to pay back as much money, because instead of interest building up for three years, I would have made the $ XXXX monthly payments. My credit score was destroyed because of this, and I had to go to bankruptcy because my credit score was so bad. I cant get a mortgage or anything because my credit score was severly damaged by navient and the department of education. they should have told me about income based repayment years ago when I became XXXX and told them I was awaiting a social security XXXX decision and had NO INCOME.
