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

My mortgage was transferred to LoanCare LLC about 6 months ago and I have an issue with a {$10.00} fee that I am being charged every month. They charge this fee depending on when you pay your mortgage during the month. I have been paying on the XXXX of every month due to my pay cycle at work and I am forced to pay an extra {$10.00} because of this. According to all my documents and closing papers this fee is being wrongfully charged. Before it was transferred I made my payments in a similar fashion and was never charged a fee. Is this legal? I would like to stop paying this fee and would also like to get my fee payments back.

Company: SANTANDER BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MI)

We had a line of credit loan with Sovereign Bank. Santander Bank apparently acquired the rights to this loan. After getting the run around with Santander, we paid the loan off in full with Santander in XXXX 2013. Yesterday in the mail, I received a bill for {$65.00} from Santander for a fee on this account. I called Santander. I was passed around to four different operators. I asked to speak with a supervisor after speaking with the second operator. I was never handed off to a supervisor. I was told I needed to go to a local Santander Bank branch to prove my identity. Yet they kept verifying my identity with each operator I spoke with. There are no local Santander bank branches in my state. How can Santander bill for a fee and for what after the account has been closed since XXXX 2013?

Product: Debt collection — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Firstsource Business Process Services, LLC (VA)

I held a debt amount with XXXX XXXX XXXX Online ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and was originally owed tuition reimbursement for dropped classes. I held a balance with the school and was told I did not have to fulfill the balance until my reimbursement was received. After coordinating my tuition reimbursement I called the school to pay the amount due and they notified me that they forwarded my balance to collections. This is the first issue. 

After receiving that information I called the collections agency involved ( XXXX ) and was told that I could not remove the balance from my account due to it being a student loan and that my amount due was more than my reimbursement amount. I initially paid half of the balance up front and paid the remaining balance on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I have a written paid in full email from XXXX. 

Two months later I was contacted by First-Source Collections agency via phone and was told that I have a balance from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I immediately disputed the claim and asked for contact information to submit my paid in full letter from XXXX. 

After submitting the letter First Source called me back 1 month later and informed me that I still had a balance from XXXX and that it was forwarded from XXXX to XXXX and then XXXX disbursed the amount remaining to the company that now owns the amount First Source. 

I was originally told by XXXX that my only balance that was originally held with XXXX was my only balance on record with the company when I originally made my dispute. My issue is that a random $ 1600.00+ balance was wrongfully generated with XXXX XXXX and that without justification they reported to my credit the loan amount while it was still in dispute. This amount is completely false and I believe that XXXX XXXX XXXX via First Source is fraudulently trying to charge me already paid for sums of money originally held by XXXX and paid for by myself.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: LoanCare, LLC (PA)

I began to refinance with my current mortgage co and during the process our mortgage was bought by LoanCare. I paid the first payment to them when due and since the refi co was waiting for payoff letter I contacted LoanCare and they said they did n't have the payment yet and therefore could n't get an accurate payoff. My bank verified they sent payment and after being told by customer service at LoanCare that I should pay another way so I am not late, I did so over the phone with them and put a stop payment on the bank check. I stated to Loancare that I did a stop payment and to please note the acct as such. 2 days later I received a receipt stating they got the check and applied the funds. I called and told them that was not supposed to be an they said to not worry since the money would end up not being applied after the fact since I paid XX/XX/XXXX due. Well Loancare sent the payoff with the extra funds in the amount without anyone knowing this and we went to closing and finalized everything with funds being funded from mortgage co to Loancare XX/XX/XXXX. Loancare stated that I owe XX/XX/XXXX funds as well as the FHA regulator interest for XX/XX/XXXX now, {$880.00} on top of the mortgage! I stated that the funds went through XX/XX/XXXX and they said it was after XXXX therefore they had to add on the other money due to holiday and not processing until XX/XX/XXXX!!! Every call into customer service was terrible and left me in tears. They were beyond rude and completely arrogant in their responses. The timing from start to finish on how they handle money is beyond unacceptable and I cant imagine if they were my mortgage company for good! Considering they lost a check for 2 weeks, then applied is after I paid over the phone and then took the payoff amount 5 days to process that in turn leaving us to owe money that we do n't have! Terrible and sad that this is okay in the work of money, as well as the customer service dept being beyond terrible and barley able to understand what half of them are saying. SAD!

Company: Northrim Capital Investments Co. (IL)

Sir/Ma'am, In XX/XX/XXXX 2013, we were living XXXX due to a military change of station. Due to dropping mortgage rates, we decided to refinance our house XXXX. We used a company called Residential MortgageXXXX. The company representative who helped us is named XXXX XXXX, Loan Originator License XXXX. The Title Company was XXXX and the Escrow Officer was XXXX XXXX. She is no longer with the company. The issue is that we did everything across email and conventional mail. We recently discovered that my wife 's name was removed from the Deed of Trust and that part of the XXXX page packet we signed included a Quit Claim Deed. Until one week ago, neither XXXX of us knew what a Quit Claim Deed was. This part of the packet was not explained to us. My sister-in-law, who is a mortgage broker, just explained it to us. When I called XXXX earlier this week to ask why we were asked to sign a Quit Claim Deed, she could not remember why. Because I am in the military XXXX ( 5 times in the last 9 years ), I am worried that a lender did not disclose to my wife and I that she was being taken off the Deed of Trust in a refinance. Thank you for your help. 
Respectfully, XXXX XXXX

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (DC)

Last month I owed a small amount on a Bank of America Credit Card because it is my alternate card and I do n't use it much. I was 3 days late paying, but I paid the amount charged in full. Bank of America charged {$1.00} late fee, which they credited it back to me after I called but they did not consider that a payment, even though that credit zeroed out my account the same day as my payment. This month, I accrued some charges on my card and the statement period closed yesterday, XXXX. Today I see that they charged me 1 % of the total amount I spent for CURRENT month and called it INTEREST CHARGED ON PURCHASES. I am filing this complaint because this is a new fee that Bank of America has implemented and I was unaware of it until I had to call to have the fee removed. After this incident, I went back to check previous statements and I see that they seem to have started XX/XX/XXXX and first appeared as a number of {$0.00} charges on my XXXX statement and each monthly statement thereafter. They were {$0.00} line items so I did n't think much about them. I have had this card since at least XX/XX/XXXX. I did not agree to any changes in my account. They refunded me the fees, but I believe this practice is deceptive and is probably generating a good amount of fees from people not paying as close attention to their statements.

" I obtained a copy of my consumer report and notified these agencies multiple times, specifically on XX/XX/year> and XX/XX/year>, about the items I disputed. Despite these notifications, the matter remains unresolved in a manner that is fair and equitable to me, the consumer, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I sent my notice to these agencies, which included a FTC Identity Theft Report, A FTC Affidavit and I also filed a complaint with the CFPB. Along with this letter, I have also included an Affidavit of Truth to further substantiate my claim. 

I explained the violations your agency committed under the FCRA, while informing your agency of the fact that these items were reported without my expressed, written consent. This leads to way of identity theft, which leads to a violation of the civil liability section of the FCRA, as I informed you in the previous notices, which I have attached once more again for your record! 

This is a FINAL NOTICE to give your agency an opportunity to correct this situation or I will be forced to protect my credit rating and file a lawsuit against your agency. I have proven to your agency on many occasions that these items are a violation of the FCRA and should in fact be DELETED but your agency continues to violate me so I dont know what else to do besides suing your agency at this point. 

I have suffered emotional distress as a result of this matter and I demand this matter be resolved in a fair and equitable manner, which still hasnt been done "

We could not make our mortgage payments. We tried to do deed in lieu. Ocwen Loan Servicing kept sending us letters that are deed in lieu is the process. We tried doing a short sale before that but do to storm XXXX no one would buy. We waited almost 3 years with a run around from this company saying are deed in lieu is in process. Every time we tried to contact them they said they are missing a paper. They would say same thing no matter even when we resubmitted it. No would ever contact telling they needed the info. They told us that we did n't have insurance. To make a long story short, they basically made us wait so are bills would be outrageous. They finally accepted the deed in lieu last year. Now the tax XXXX says house is only worth XXXX. That is a total lie. My tax consultant said I would owe about {$40000.00}. They should be responsible since I had no way to contact these people.

On XX/XX/year> several unauthorized charges were made with my wells fargo debit card : {$2000.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA. 
{$1700.00} to XXXX XXXX, FL {$120.00} to XXXX XXXX {$79.00} to XXXX {$97.00} to XXXX {$160.00} to XXXX {$490.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX The debit card was in my possession at all times ; I never allowed anybody but myself to use it. Wells Fargo has denied my dispute and has closed the case. They said they couldn't help me because the perpetrator knew my phone number and zip code. This was apparently the reason why they wouldn't reimburse me. Through a banker at my local Wells Fargo branch I then filed a report to the " escalation team '' but they told me after a week of waiting that they have no authority to overturn the claims department 's decision. I have been with Wells Fargo for many years and never filed a complaint before and so I am more than shocked that they don't take responsibility for what happened.
