Issue: Overlimit fee — 
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NC)

My Capital One credit card was written off XX/XX/XXXX. The debt was sold to a bill collector. The bill collector ( XXXX ) says they are Collecting for Capital One. I just verified this statement with one of XXXX agents over the phone on XX/XX/XXXX. I have been paying on this account to XXXX for over 4 years. On my credit reports the capital one bill decreases with payments made to XXXX. Also, the account with Capital One EXCEEDED the credit card limit due to OVER the LIMIT FEES. I never signed anything agreeing to go beyond the credit limit due to them adding OVER THE LIMIT FEES. I want to see my signature agreeing to OVER the LIMIT fees. Is n't it criminal to set a credit limit for me then charge me more, because your over the limit fees, place me over the limit more??. Even though Capital One wrote this off in XX/XX/XXXX, they have still been collecting money on this account as late as XX/XX/XXXX. If you look at the decreasing balance on my credit reports for capital one this is evident.

As a veteran I applied to refinance my mortgage under a program to lower my mortgage payment under a program as a veteran. After accepting a fixed mortgage to get out of an adjustable rate I received an offer that would considerably lower my mortgage. It was then ( approximately 2 months ago ) I was notified the my credit report reflected the my loan was in forbearance for 2 months. I did not even have that mortgage for 2 months. My lender did a 3 way call with Freedom Mortgage who explained that this was a problem in their system. Now 2 months later I had a job offer with XXXX suddenly removed. I called them to find out about the correction which has not been made. This is also preventing a current refinance opportunity. Please advise.

They have been double dialing, I get multiple phone calls back to back. A week ago I asked them to send me information about whatever debt I owe and they hung up on me.

Company: MORTGAGE CLEARING CORPORATION (IL)

My wife and I have a Mortgage with Mortgage Clearing Corp. Our current issue is XX/XX/XXXX, we called them to see if there were any programs that had that would be available to use due to financial hardship. Our mortgage at the time was {$1800.00} ; this was extremely high for us. This amount was about XXXX % of our net income, which is against the law, according to the law ; rental payments should not exceed XXXX % of your net income. 
At that time I spoke with a XXXX and then the XXXX of the company. And we were told to start paying {$1200.00} monthly ; this would be a loan modification. That was great for us. We never received any formal documentation regarding the modification, but we continued paying the {$1200.00} as we were told by Mortgage Clearing Corp. 
We then filed a Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy due to financial hardship. Now, we receive word that our Mortgage will be {$2500.00} starting in XX/XX/XXXX. 
We were also told by our Bankruptcy Attorney that we are behind on our Mortgage due to only paying the Principal and Interest, and that the taxes were not included in our payment. Due to a lack of funds available for Property Taxes. We did make all scheduled payments for our Bankruptcy Plan and we thought we could move forward to financial stability. 
Now, because we were paying the wrong Mortgage amount and subsequently are behind on our mortgage, our Bankruptcy can not be discharged. 
We have been paying {$1200.00} since XX/XX/XXXX and have never received any type of correspondence from Mortgage Clearing stating we were behind on our Payments. Had we received anything we would have made the correct payments. 
We simply can not afford to pay $ XXXX monthly at this time. I am a XXXX XXXX XXXX and my wife is currently receiving Unemployment Benefits due to her being laid off from her job. 
We are just looking to be treated fairly and the Business Practices of Mortgage Clearing Corp are unethical and borderline illegal. 
We are hoping that someone can assist us with dealing with Mortgage Clearing Corp in a professional manner, and receiving a more manageable mortgage payment.

This evening I returned a required phone call received from the Executive offices at XXXX XXXX standard time. While the phone call came in at XXXX XXXX ( Afternoon ), while at work from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX. It is impossible for me to receive outside calls, other than work related phone calls. In my position of XXXX XXXX, working with XXXX XXXX and relaying this information to Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. I can not receive personal phone calls, which could hinder and possibly place the contractors, with whom I observe and protect, place them in grave danger. So being released early from duty today, I was able to reach out and phone my point of contact, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX. Although XXXX XXXX was not currently available, I left a voicemail, then called back and spoke with XXXX XXXX # XXXX, of the Executive Offices. She relayed that XXXX XXXX was indeed not available and forwarded an email. I then phoned the office of Return Mail Operations, with whom I received correspondence today, with the date of XXXX XXXX, 2015. I spoke with XXXX # XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX of XXXX XXXX, California, I inquired as to the validity of which offices are in correspondence with the Executive Offices. XXXX # XXXX informed me that this office serves, The Bankruptcy Department, Loan Servicing and Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. Additionally these letters are sent from what XXXX describes as the ( Back Offices ). Which there are several, but this letter was said to have came from XXXX XXXX, IA. I was said to have a balance owed of {$1900.00}, yet made deposits of {$490.00}, {$820.00} and {$1100.00}, which total {$2400.00}. In the letter it states that there is a balance of {$540.00} and that they do not accept partial payments and that the remaining balance of {$280.00} is needed. When I spoke with XXXX # XXXX, I asked specific questions as to the communication of his offices and the Executive Offices, so that I can come to the conclusion that all offices share the same information. If the payments of {$2.00}, XXXX were made on XXXX XXXX, 2015, why would I owe {$1900.00}?. When speaking with XXXX XXXX # XXXX and leaving a voicemail with XXXX XXXX, I hereby requested a full and thorough audit of all bank deposits and money placed into my mortgage accounts. The frustration that I receive on a daily basis from the Wells Fargo Home Mortgage team, boarders on bullying and harassment, due to the fact that not one person has taken the time to place an email, phone call, bank manager, anything to clarify whether or not any of these payments and or deposits have been made. I requested everything in writing, choosing not to go over my bill with someone who has not taken the time to do any research whatsoever. According to my math, these numbers from my deposits do not add up.

The payment amount on my loan with BMW Financial Services should be lower. At time of purchase the sales manager at the dealership, XXXX, stated it would show XXXX down but I was actually putting down XXXX. He also stated to give him the XXXX difference in cash and that the dealership makes enough, he needs the money for himself. Needless to say, I did not give him the money, it was supposed to go towards the loan. Numerous complaints have been filed against dealership, as well as against BMW Financial Services. I understand they can not or will not lower payment amount by restructuring the deal, however, the account is now over 30 day past due and an extension will help me as well as remedy the matter. I did request an extension before and was told no, the account needs 6 months of payments.

Company: Nelson Cruz & Associates LLC (TX)

On or around XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I was contacted by Nelson Cruz and Associates regarding an outstanding debt that they said I owed from XXXX XXXX of XXXX. They wanted to settle the original debt of {$570.00} debt with a {$300.00} payment. The information they gave to support this loan was correct, but not the information I would have used. References were all family members including my minor children, which I would never have used as a reference. This loan was applied for under my nickname and not my legal name. Which makes it very suspect. Also the documentation had my nickname, working for my legal name. This was all read to me over the phone and I have never received any formal documentation or proof of legitimacy of this loan in the mail. No documents with my legal signature have been provided to me. 
In my research, they gave me an account number they said was from XXXX, who was supposed to have issued the credit card. When I contacted XXXX, they could not find any record that I had a credit card or a loan with them. XXXX said the XXXX number had never been used by them. Talking with the security department XXXX XXXX, they said this sounded like a Scam and not to pay them. I also contacted XXXX XXXX who purchased some of XXXX debt, and they had no record of an outstanding balance or anything that had been charged off on me. I also tried to look up the XXXX number on this account and it shows that it has never been issued. XXXX said they had never used this XXXX number either. 
In seven years this has never showed up on any of my credit reports. I have never received a statement, never got a demand letter. In talking with XXXX security and collection department, their policy is ; 90 days they send out a demand letter and in 120 days a demand letter with a request with a return receipt. I have not received any of this. These people have not sent us any proof or documentation that I applied for this credit card or proof of any demand letters being sent to me. And there has n't been any attempt to collect this over the past eight years until now. It all does not make sense to me. XXXX XXXX XXXX had recommended I not pay them anything and to block their phone numbers. The FBI agreed and for me to get in touch with you along with the postal inspector and the FTC.

On XX/XX/XXXX, on my way home from work, I had stopped by a XXXX to withdraw {$20.00} from the atm on that site, and to make a purchase as well. When I got home, I had checked my account balance and had noticed that {$450.00} was missing from my checking account. Following procedures, I called Bank of America to notify them of fraudulent activity, and that money had gone missing. My account was put on a hold until I had obtain a temporary card, and the {$450.00} was credited back to my account. On XX/XX/XXXX, i went to make a purchase at a local gas station, and my card was being decline. I checked my account to find the reason why, and noticed that Bank of America had taken back the {$450.00}. When i called the bank to question as to why that money was taken, I was told that because I had used the atm at that particular store in the past, that they couldnt find any fraudulent activity, and/or that some one had prior knowledge of my account information and was able to make that withdraw. I argued the fact that I had not made that withdraw, for the amount said, nor did I authorize that transaction to be made. As far as I am concerned there is or was fraudulent activity made against my account. I even went as far to have my claim resubmitted to Bank of America- and again, my claim was denied, with Bank of America claiming that they found nothing that seemed fraudulent.

On a recent phone call to XXXX I spoke with a XXXX XXXX concerning possible refinancing of my Wells Fargo Home Mortgage.

I telephoned Wells Fargo on three occasions to discuss the reasons, and I was told XXXX different stories. Due to XXXX in XXXX of 2013, I had to file Bankruptcy Chapter XXXX which was discharged in XXXX 2013. Wells Fargo keeps telling me that my attorney, XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, WV did not file a re-affirmation agreement to not have the Home included in the Bankruptcy. My attorneys office tells me it was up to Wells Fargo Home Mortgage to send the re-affirmation agreement.
