Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (CO)

We are the owners of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX, CO XXXX. SPS is the current servicer of the loan being foreclosed. 

A foreclosure sale date is currently scheduled for XXXX XXXX, 2015. A short sale offer at a purchase price of XXXX was submitted to SPS last week. See the attached Contract and Short Sale Addendum. SPS also has the attached estimated HUD. 

SPS approved a short sale on substantially similar terms earlier this summer - see attached. Although the purchase price of that contract was {$XXXX}, the current pending offer represents the full BPO value that SPS received for the property. 

Yesterday, our short sale coordinator informed us that he was told by SPS " that there 's no way to postpone that foreclosure sale date because the offer is not under review in the investor wants to foreclose. " That is unacceptable. SPS has a cash offer in hand that meets its BPO value. We have approval in hand from the XXXX lender ( XXXX ) to accept the terms proposed on the HUD, which were previously approved by SPS. All we need to close is approval from SPS. 

If SPS takes this to foreclosure, they are choosing to foreclose on us instead of accepting a cash offer that meets the BPO valuation, and is in hand well before the sale date, which would deprive us of our ability to mitigate our losses by avoiding foreclosure. 

We need SPS to : ( 1 ) review the file they 're sitting on, ( 2 ) issue an approval, and ( 3 ) give us an ample amount of time to close. Both the Buyer and Sellers are ready, willing and able to close, except for the SPS approval.

Issue: Communication tactics — Threatened to take legal action
Company: American Collection Services, Inc. (OK, TX) (OK)

American Collection Service continues to contact me regarding medical debts that my wife owes. When trying to work with this company for a payment plan at an amount we can afford the company will refuse any offer other than their decided amount and begins to threaten the accounts have to be paid in full or they will release the account to their lawyers and sue me. Every time this threat is made they give me a 4 hour limit to provide them a final answer or they will move forward with a law suit, and they have made this threat over the past 3 months on the same accounts. These threat start happening near the end of each month. We had a previous account with this company that had been paid in full with the agreement to remove the collection from my credit report and the company did not follow through with their agreement claiming they did not have to because they received additional accounts for my wife while the original account was being paid off. The company has so far threatened to sue us for the full amount of XXXX accounts 3 separate times, threatened to garnish my wifes wages 3 separate times, and have refused all of our payment amount offers. I was once again contacted by this company today ( XXXX XXXX 2015 ) with a 4th threat of sending all the accounts to their lawyers to file suit on the debts. Additionally, the company name is American Collection Service but they are reporting to my credit report as XXXX which I feel is purposely misleading.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (CA)

An erroneous amount was drafted from my bank account which amounted to an excessive overpayment XX/XX/XXXX. The loan servicing company refused to 1 ) refund me the difference, 2 ) apply the overage to the appropriate account in a timely fashion ( waited three to four months to finally do this all the while reporting negative information to credit bureaus ), 3 ) remove the late fees applied to my mortgage account, 4 ) reimburse me the subsequent NSF fees I incurred, and 5 ) correct the negative reporting to credit bureaus ( XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ). Even though I contacted them timely and continued to follow-up up with the loan servicing company multiple times every month regarding this matter, I always received a different story or a request to resubmit the documentation I already submitted. It was not until I filed a complaint with CFPB XXXX that all but # 5 from the list above was corrected to which I continued my dispute of their response. My credit rating should not be damaged due to SPS ' error and refusal to address the matter in a timely and equitable fashion. The loan servicing company made a mistake and now they just need to be accountable for their error in its entirety. Reporting negative information implies that I was not handling my financial responsibilities and I definitely was at that time and continue to.

Company: EVERGREEN PROFESSIONAL RECOVERIES, INC. (WA)

XXXX XXXX, works for evergreen profession recoveries. she is extremely rude, diarespectful, and deceitful. on numerous occasions I have attempted to resolve my payments by establishing a monthly payment that is possible for me, but if she does not like it, she makes threats about taking me to court and garnishing wages from my job. what I mean, is a different employee had offered me a certain amount to be paid per month and that was the best he could do, and the next hour she said changed it to a different amount. she went from saying XXXX a month to XXXX a month after 2 payments of XXXX. After telling her that was not feasible, she said " you know what, just throw everything to the trash. I 'm not doing anything for you. I will just garnish ur checks ''. bottom line is she is rude and disrespectful. and constantly makes threats and has no intentions of working with me when I am making an effort to pay them.

Issue: Unexpected/Other fees — 
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (AL)

I wanted to write and voice a concern involving the banking practices of Regions Bank and possibly others. My mother had surgery on XXXX and spent 14 days in XXXX. During this time her home was broke into and her Television was stolen. Upon returning her to her home she wrote me a check from her Regions back account and asked me to cash the check and go buy her a new television. I pulled up to the drive through and presented the teller with my mother 's regions check and my driver 's license. I was informed that I would be charged {$4.00} since I was not a member plus I would have to come inside. 


My first concern:1. laws, rules/regulations that allow Banks such as Regions to charge a fee to cash a check that their customer wrote is not customer service. This ultimately will result in an increase fee to their members/customers. For example : when an individual pays for services with a Regions check, a non-member will have to charge an extra {$4.00} because it was written from a Regions bank account. if these fees generate XXXX to XXXX revenue per month, putting this fee back on the account holders will result in them finding other banks to conduct their business. 

2. Is This type of business conduct " Bank Bullying '' non-members are being strong armed/forced into opening an account with their bank requiring an minimum deposit or else face a fee. This state needs is tighter control, consistency and continuity across Alabama Banks. This type of fee is unreasonable and unfair.

Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (TX)

Portfolio Recovery continues to call my cell phone multiple times a day from different numbers. The only thing I have on my credit report is something from 5-6 years ago which is beyond the statute of limitation in Texas. They have done this to me XXXX in the past year and even had me served. They made me so scared and nervous that I ended up breaking down and paying what they asked for ( XXXX ). Portfolio Recovery even took a 5 year old debt, sued me for it and then re-reported it on my credit report as a new debt. Can they do this? This company is relentless and will not stop. Even this morning the calls have begun and will not stop. This is harassment and against the law. They should be allowed to harass people and collect debts that are so old. 
Can someone please assist and help? I can not afford a credit attorney. I 'm being threatened by Portfolio Recovery they will sue me again and harassed by threatening phone calls. 

Thank you, XXXX

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NV)

Continued security issues caused by inappropriate policy promoting identity theft within the company. ( First reported XXXX/XXXX/15 ; problem still exists ). On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I called Sears Mastercard because XXXX my card had been declined by Sears even though the account is in good standing. The CSR asked for my " personal password '' and even though I know this is illegal & I addressed this issue back on XXXX XXXX, 2015, I went ahead & complied with the request. I was then advised by the CSR the password I gave was incorrect ( it was not incorrect ) & that I should be giving the name of my first pet. Immediately, I realized Sears had not done anything to address my complaint dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 as they were still practicing a policy which jeopardizes the security of their customers accounts by asking inappropriately for a personal password when what they really want to know is the " Secret Question '' answer. The CSR 's are not asking the questions appropriately. I advised the CSR of this & was told this is the script they are told to go by. Yes, this happened in XXXX 2015 as well. I advised the CSR to please mark the account that I am officially complaining for the second time this year about their policy, because now I complied with their request to reveal my password only to be told that it was not what they wanted to know. What that means is a ) I now have to change my password ; b ) they never fixed the problem ; c ) they are promoting identity theft ; d ) they are not securing my account, but instead are jeopardizing it ; and, e ) Sears is proving it can not be trusted to protect the accounts of its customers. Since this has happened before, this has to be taken seriously, because their Customer Service department is not listening or taking initiative to solve the problem. Therefore, I am taking serious action. If this issue is not resolved I will take this to the media and advocate a large scale investigation of this banking institution for potential fraud against it 's customers. It is very clear to me that Sears does not take security seriously. They might as well stop trying to say that they do, because they are not doing anything to help the situation. As it turns out my account should never have been flagged for potential fraud. They were only harassing me. Ultimately, I am glad it happened, because it allowed me the opportunity to catch them in the act of just how under-protective of my account they are. I can not believe they would ask for a password knowing that a Customer can actually give them the password trusting them to handle the situation appropriately. Then when you give them the password, they reveal they did n't want the password ; they wanted the secret question. Again, this is XXXX totally different things. Unacceptable. Seven months has passed since this was first reported. Nothing has changed.

I could not be establishing a good credit while they continue reporting the adverse hurting credit histories instead of reporting the good credits I have worked hard to establish.

There was a voice mail on my phone ( ending in XXXX ). The message stated the call was from a debt collector. I asked my wife to return the call and advise them I was out of town. My wife called XXXX XXXX at NES of Ohio and advised I was out of town. XXXX XXXX said she would note the account as such. The next day there were messages on my parents voice mail stating " This is a call from NES of Ohio this is a debt collector please return the call to XXXX XXXX at XXXX Ext XXXX '' she did not mention my name at all on the message. My Dad called her back and got one of the other agents who immediately started grilling him as to my whereabouts. He advised them to not call his home any more and they continue to call twice per day every day for a week now. Then XXXX XXXX started calling my kids phone ending in XXXX and leaving messages that this is a debt collector. She then started calling my Aunt and Uncle and again leaving messages stating the call is from a debt collector. There is never a mention of any name on the messages so of course people will call them back to see what it 's about and at that time she will state my name ( so now ALL these people know the call is from a debt collector plus my name is mentioned so my privacy is now violated ). Then they start being aggressive to find me. My wife called NES again and an agent said " I 'm sorry you must be mistaken the only number we have on file is XXXX ''. So obviously XXXX XXXX is using some sort of cross reference to find everyone with my last name in the area that I live. Now I got a call from my previous employer stating that a debt collector is looking for me and gave me XXXX XXXX number. I do n't think this is legal to be discussing my personal situation with people other than myself. And when my wife tried to get information they told her " we ca n't talk to you '' BUT YOU TALK TO ALL OF MY RELATIVES??? Each and every one of these people XXXX XXXX called has asked her not to call again and yet she repeatedly calls them several times a day. It is XXXX XXXX herself that makes the calls its not a computerized call.

Filing this complaint against US Bank N.A. in particular XXXX XXXX XXXX Corporate Trust Services XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX who responded to the XX/XX/XXXX request to address the notice of rescission originally filed with them XXXX XXXX. It appears US Bank N.A. ( Bank ) is assisting XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX ( XXXX ) in falsely reporting US Bank as a Trustee for a trust that allegedly is in possession of a note and mortgage on my property XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX ( the property ). XXXX alleged account # XXXX. 
XXXX XXXX certifies that there is a note and mortgage on said property owned by the trust they represent and that XXXX is their servicer for said note/mortgage. For over 5 years numerous request were made to the Bank to verify their status and verify the status of XXXX. All requests were ignored by failing to provide any responses to our numerous legitimate inquiries. Requests were made to the Office of the Comptroller Currency ( OCC ) to assist us in this matter. They too failed to properly address my concerns. I believe without proof of ownership of an alleged note/mortgage any reference to it should be considered false and invalid. In addition the Bank failed to provide proof of the servicing rights of an alleged mortgage/note that assists XXXX in committing an illicit act and the Bank should be held culpable for their participation in a possible fraudulent action. 
I believe the Bank is falsely reporting a note/mortgage in their possession because XXXX XXXX the owner of said trust ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX ) filed a notice of a XXXX with the Security and Exchange Commission ( SEC ) in XX/XX/XXXX notifying the SEC they would not be filing any further reports on the trust as of the date of notice. Additionally XXXX XXXX XXXX who brought the rights to manage the trust in XX/XX/XXXX filed a report that the trust was void of any notes/mortgages. Additionally a fraudulent notice of assignment transacted on XX/XX/XXXX was filed with the XXXX registers office. Attached copy of said assignment identifies the numerous errors that certified this document as false and invalid. 
For the reasons stated above I believe the Bank should be held culpable for assisting XXXX in committing any possible illicit actions in this matter. An additional complaint will be filed against XXXX for their newest violations of the FDCPA and the FCRA.
