Product: Mortgage — Other mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: PNC Bank N.A. (GA)

I recently sold my home and paid off my mortgage loan with PNC Mortgage. They included a " Servicer Advance Balance '' fee of {$1800.00} in my payoff amount. I had previously made written & verbal requests to have this fee explained to me several years ago and again more recently, but have never received a proper answer. In a letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2014 ( attached ) PNC responded stating the fee was because the HAMP " loan modification agreement required PNC to advance payments on your behalf so when the loan modified your account would reflect being current/reinstated '' Aside from the fact that the relevant explanation does n't even use proper English and makes little sense, my loan was never past due and never had to be made current or be reinstated. I responded to them on XXXX XXXX, 2014 and stated if they did not provide written proof of this obligation that we could only assume that it was an error. At that time I did not receive the courtesy of a reply thus, no proof was ever sent to me. In other words, just saying that I owe them {$1800.00} because they say so is not an acceptable answer legally or otherwise. 

I have also attached a copy of my loan modification agreement and nowhere in it does it state that I do or will owe this money nor is there a reference to anything that could be construed as such a fee. Please know that I am, and always have been, perfectly willing to pay any fees that I am legally or contractually obligated to pay, but I can not stand for having my money confiscated inappropriately by an entity that obfuscates the facts and refuses to provide simple and understandable answers to legitimate questions.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: AES/PHEAA (AZ)

In XXXX 2016, I was approved for the Fedloan Servicing REPAYE repayment plan. I was advised that I would need to make a one time {$5.00} payment the next month and then my new payment plan would start. In XXXX, the correct payment did not get applied to my account, therefore I had to request a forbearance ( I can not afford the current payment of ~ {$1100.00}. In XXXX, the payment due amount again did not get correctly applied to my account ; therefore, I had to request an additional forbearance for that month. In XXXX, I was finally able to make the {$5.00} payment ( on XXXX/XXXX/16 ) and was told my new payment would start in XXXX 2016. Again, the correct payment amount was not triggered on my account -- again, I had to request a forbearance. Then again, in XXXX the same issue occurred, so currently, my loan is in forbearance. I have been promised multiple times by different people that the correct payment will trigger. Unfortunately, to date, this continues to be an issue. 

I am currently in a Public Loan Forgiveness Program -- due to the inadequacies of FedLoan Servicing in getting my new payment plan in place, I have not missed out on 5 months of payment credits toward my overall loan forgiveness plan. 
I would appreciate any thoughts or assistance in getting this issue resolved. 

Respectfully, XXXX XXXX

Product: Debt collection — Payday loan
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt — Right to dispute notice not received
Company: Ad Astra Recovery Services Inc (CA)

I requested that the company provide the original contract that has my original signature, proof that this debt originated from my social security number and address with proper identification as well as accounting to show how they arrived at the amount that is shown on the notice and their agreement that they have the legal right to collect on the said debt. I requested this validation and to date I have not received this information. Instead or the information requested, I received the attached letter that states that Ad Astra is not going to provide this information because it was already provided when in fact it was never provided. This unverified, erroneous item is damaging my credit and the company has not provided the information requested for the questionable debt and this debt needs to be deleted. In addition, XXXX continues to notify the credit reporting agencies, deeming this item accurate with no proof. I looked up the policy for information with the said company XXXX and it clearly states that the information in which a customer can opt out of. I opted out of XXXX information sharing in XX/XX/XXXX due to multiple offers that I had been receiving and was not interested in a loan at that time. This is why I can not understand how Ad Astra is verifying ( or ) validating which ever term you set to use that this debt belongs to me. Remove the said item as you have NEVER investigated the item as I originally requested.

Referred to me as a loser every time she addressed me. I explained that I needed to know what the call was about and she said Chase bank. I explained my last dealings with them was quite long ago and that it was likely out-of-date. she said no and they were going to sue me but would not provide any info as to who they were. Called them 10 times and they would not talk to me or give me any info just continued to berate me. I have no names because they would not provide any. They must know when I call because now it goes straight to the voicemail. 

They know we ca n't afford lawyers.

My husband became ill and was taken to a doctor and within hours had to be rushed to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2016 where they informed us that they wanted to perform XXXX on my husband. I went back to the hotel and called the emergency number on the back of the credit card to ask what assistance could be provided to us in regards to evacuating my husband back to the United States for medical care. I was transferred to " XXXX '' with On Call International at XXXX and issued Case # XXXX. After almost an hour with a very bad connection, I was told by " XXXX '' that we were n't entitled to anything because we did n't have a high enough Tiered Card and no assistance would be provided in our time of need. 

The literature and brochures that were mailed to us and confirmed on the phone with your Customer Service Representatives by my husband on several phone calls prior to our trip indicated that we were entitled to wonderful benefits. This is the first time that we traveled outside of the United States and did not take travel insurance out with a legitimate travel insurance company because of what we were being told by your representatives. At the very least we were lied to and misled about benefits with your credit card. 

The reason that it has taken us so long to correspond is that my husband has been in and out of the hospital here in XXXX, XXXX since we returned to the U.S. and has just been released from having XXXX that should have been performed immediately in XXXX if we had been given assistance in getting my husband back to the U.S. We have been out of pocket thousands of dollars and immeasurable pain and suffering because we were misled. 

Disgust with Citibank is about the only way I can describe my feelings.

JP Morgan Chase put my house in foreclosure the beginning of the year. In XXXX, I paid all attorneys fees and backed payments to have the mortgage reinstated so I could sell the house in question. I followed all procedures as laid out by Chase 's attorney, XXXX, and my mortgage has still not been reinstated. I can not sell my house now as it is still listed as in foreclosure. Chase has been no help, and XXXX will hang up the phone on me every time I call. All Chase tells me is that on their end it 's no longer in foreclosure, but the foreclosure is still filed and not released yet. They are " looking into it, '' for going on two months now. 

My real estate agent has informed me that I will most likely never be able to sell my property for the amount that it is worth, since Chase has ran a foreclosure ad in the newspaper about my property, and that ad is still running. Furthermore, anyone can look up the property address and see that foreclosure has never been released.
