Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX)

I lost my job on XXXX XXXX but I still paid my mortgage every month. On XXXX XXXX, I called my loan servicer Wells Fargo to ask forbearance plan, which stated on its website. First I was told they do n't have this plan, but only modification, and I was not eligible because my loan was current. After I reiterated I did n't want modification but temporary assistance, they assigned me a home preservation specialist. I told him put notes that I do not want modification. He ensured he did, and told me the assistance plan for 6 months which pays {$25.00} each month, and a lump sum total repayment needs to make after 6 months. He also stated I need to submit property tax and home insurance info to get approval. I was hesitated and never submitted these. I got a letter one week later that I got approved even though I never submitted requested info. At the beginning of XXXX, I decided to make full payment for my mortgage, I was told online I had to call home preservation to make a payment. I did, and the specialist assisted. One week later, I received a letter that escrow account was established and payment for property tax was made. The letter dated XXXX XXXX, but I paid my property tax on XXXX XXXX. The letter indicated Wells Fargo reviewed my property tax upon the assistance program. The specialist never notified me this, and I had up to XXXX XXXX to make tax payment. So now, I was forced to create an escrow account, my property tax was double paid, my current loan is no long current because the escrow amount was taken from my principal. I called the specialist, his manager stated that the purpose of escrow account was to protect investors ' interest. If I ask for assistance, even just for a few months, they have to establish escrow account. My questions are if I could only afford {$25.00} a month payment, how would I be able to afford escrow? I asked for temporary assistance for my last resort help in case I can not make payments, but now my credit got ruined, my loan was messed up, my property tax was double paid, and I no longer can have temporary assistance. How awful!! I would rather use up my savings but not want this kind of disaster, hassles, and insults. Wells Fargo does n't care about consumers like me but only its investors.

A supervisor called me and tried to set up payment and I told them about XXXX XXXX actions. They told me they had fired him for those kind of tactics. I told them I would not pay the debt, instead of suing them, and they stop calling. A year later another debt collector XXXX started to call and harass me for the money, I told them the story of the other collector, and they bought a bad debt. I did not here from them until recently. Now they are calling me every week day sometimes twice a day. They continue to report this debt to credit agencies.

Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't decrease my monthly payments
Company: DISCOVER BANK (FL)

My son took out a total of {$120000.00} in student loans with Discover Financial beginning in XXXX through XXXX. I was his cosigner, since this was the only way he could be approved to borrow money to further his education. Being this was my XXXX child to attend college and we were never educated on the negative impact private student loans came with, we now owe Discover {$170000.00}. The loans came into repayment in XXXX XXXX ( with over XXXX in capitalized interest added to the principal of the loan ). The monthly payments my son is required to pay are {$1600.00}. He is unable to afford these payments since he also is paying Navient student loans and federal loans ( which are both affordable ). I am also unable to afford to pay the Discover loans because within the past few years I got divorced and now my income is not sufficient enough to afford {$1600.00} per month. We have contacted Discover time and time again begging them to renegotiate the loans and make it affordable for us to make payments. We are not deadbeats and want to make payments, however they wo n't budge or offer us any reasonable alternatives. We were advised by them that until the loan defaults 6 months they wo n't help us. I do n't understand why a company wo n't help out the people that have good intentions to pay until they have ruined your credit and harassed the XXXX out of you. If my son was able to get the dream job that his college degree is in ( XXXX ) there would be no issues. But since the XXXX XXXX XXXX has changed their hiring procedures and now they hire people off the streets instead of from a prestigious school like the one my son went to, he is suffering with mounds of student loan debt and no opportunity to work in the field of his degree. Please help us - what can we do to get Discover to work with us and reduce the principal of the loan, reduce the interest rate and renegotiate the terms to extend the life of the loan so we can begin making affordable payments. I believe they overlend to students who are desperate for a good education and then they bully you with exorbitant interest amounts added on which increases the loan making it unaffordable. They want to ruin our chances of ever being able to make affordable payments because nobody will even consolidate that amount of loans. We are in a no-win situation with them. Please help us.

I was approved for a Citi Premier Card on XX/XX/2015. On XX/XX/2015, the public offer on the signup bonus went up to XXXX points if you spend {$3000.00} in 90 days and I asked the Citi social media team to match me to that offer, which they kindly did. I got a letter shortly thereafter via US postal mail dated XX/XX/2015 ( I have provided the letter as an attachment ) stating " Your account is enrlled in the promotional offer to receive XXXX, XXXX bonus ThankYou Point ( s ) as long as you spend {$3000.00} by XX/XX/2015. Since the offer is XXXX if you spend {$3000.00} in 90 days, this made sense because I opened the account on XX/XX/2015 and 90 days is XX/XX/2015, just as the letter states. However, I called in yesterday XX/XX/2015 and was told completely different terms. I spoke to XXXX, Account Manager, ID number XXXX and she told me completely different terms than the letter Citi provided. She stated since I was matched to the offer on XX/XX/2015, all purchases prior to then do n't count towards the minimum spend but that I have until XX/XX/2015. This contradicts the terms provided to me in the letter from Citi. These new terms that XXXX told me are not listed in the letter.

I recently graduated from XXXX University with my XXXX. Navient a company which took over my loans from XXXX XXXX contacted me in XXXX of 2015 for repayment for my XXXX loans from XXXX University. As a XXXX I bring home {$2300.00} monthly after taxes. I am currently paying {$200.00} for my federal loans, and was hoping to pay the same amount for my private loans. After reaching out to Navient for the XXXX time, they told me that my only option was a rate reduction plan, that has me paying {$400.00} plus per month. I can not afford this payment. I have totally wiped out my savings from XXXX of 2015 until now. I know My obligations and I am willing to pay every month, however {$400.00} per month is too much. I do n't have enough money to pay all of my bills, or buy groceries once I pay this amount. Is there anyway my payment can be lowered?

Experian is legally obligated to remove negative information from my credit report as per the Fair Credit Reporting Act once a consumer supplies them with proof of identity theft. I have supplied Experian with an official notarized police report, FTC Identity Theft Affidavit and other documentation as proof to remove fraudulent inaccurate public records from my credit reports.

Company: U.S. BANCORP (CT)

We filed paperwork with U.S. Bank for a Deed in Leiu/ Short Sale in XXXX 2015. The house was put on the Market in XXXX 2015 as my husband got a new job out of the area. 
We submitted all requested paperwork multiple times as apparently paperwork can become outdated month to month. We were assigned a relationship manager by the bank and were hopeful that this would be someone who would help guide us through the process. This is the first time we have ever had to go through this process as we have never had to sell a home in a market that dropped so quickly, leaving us owing more than the house was worth when we needed to sell our home. The bank continually asked for a valid purchase agreement and a HUD-1 Statement. These are things we did not have as we did not have any offers on our house. These are also things they would not need if they were listening to the fact that we were asking for a Deed in Leiu. We have since gotten an offer on the house in XXXX 2015 and have submitted the Purchase agreement and the HUD-1 Settlement statement. This paperwork has been sitting with the " Gatekeeping Department '' with no word on when it will be moved the next stage. We have been told the paperwork was with the processor for review, That it would be forwarded to Underwriting for their review and decision and now is with the " Gatekeeping Department '' it seems like they just move the paperwork from place to place to prolong the process and that neither we or our attorney can get a straight answer as to the status. We are not sure if this is the normal but, it seems as though US bank is doing what they can to stall the process. We are turning to you for help in resolving this issue.

The loan sad for {$1200.00}. After securing the loan, my bank account was closed and the lenders were unable to get the loan amount or the interest from me. About 3 weeks later I got a call from an attorney saying that they were filing criminal charges against me for fraud. Saying that I passed a blank check in the state, when in fact, I never wrote a check. I only gave my debit card and they checked to make sure the account was active. I never got anything in the mail from this company, stating that I needed to retain legal representation, just a call from an attorney from a XXXX number stating that I needed to get an attorney or one would be appointed to me. They also stated that a warrant would be issued XXXX my arrest and that fraud would be placed on my record. The actions this company is taking in the state of XXXX is illegal. It is illegal for someone to be arrested for a payday loan in the state of XXXX, yet, they have threatened to do so. I want people to know that this is illegal. Is there any way you can help me get this taken care of? Thank you in advance!

Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing in hopes to resolve a particular dispute with Scottrade Bank and their affiliates collectively referred to as Scottrade. 

Scottrade maintains that I should file arbitration against them for the purposes of resolving a customer dispute, however, neither Scottrade Bank nor Scottrade XXXX have confirmed the existence of a valid arbitration agreement and has refused to answer any of my inquiries for details. 

I am writing this letter to address a very specific issue. Specifically, I would like a copy of the full " consumer contracts '' that were formerly signed in order to open a Scottrade Bank and Scottrade XXXX account. 

Please be advised that I previously requested this information from Scottrade Bank and Scottrade XXXX but was not supplied with an original account agreement. I signed up for the accounts in XXXX, however, Scottrade Bank and Scottrade XXXX provided me with an unsigned copy of a " consumer contract '' that had numerous revisions from the XXXX version of the contract. 

The contracts Scottrade Bank and Scottrade XXXX use have " tracking numbers '' in the bottom left margin of the page that indicate the year and date. Therefore, I am kindly requesting Scottrade Bank and Scottrade XXXX provide me with the corresponding and original XXXX version of the sign contract and not a XXXX version that is materially different.

XX/XX/2016, I received an escrow refund check and notice that my payment would drop by ~XXXX/month by my mortgage servicer. I was happy. On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I received notice via mail ( no email was sent ) stating that a new Escrow Analysis was conducted as a result of a negative escrow balance and that my payment would increase over {$200.00} beginning XXXX XXXX, 2016 - the same day I received the letter! As a family that plans every monthly budget, you can imagine how upset I was to learn of this change. After speaking to the representative, I learned that XXXX had failed to account for the escrow of my hazard insurance and only began escrowing for it after I called them to ask if they were going to pay my insurer ( they initially stated that I was responsible for my hazard insurance premium - but, I insisted that they had escrowed for it - we checked the closing docs and, yes, they were supposed to escrow for it ). RoundPoint totally mismanaged my escrow analysis, failed to follow the docs signed at closing and, as a result, I 'm stuck paying an additional {$200.00} a month for their failures.
