In XX/XX/XXXX I applied for a Home Loan modification with Bank of America. I completed the trial period and was approved for a permanent modification in XX/XX/XXXX. When I called Bank of Americain XXXX XXXX to make my monthly payment the CSR told me that they would not accept my payment because my house was in foreclosure. I tried for several months calling every week to make a payment or to find out what was going on and no one could give me a straight answer. XXXX person said there was a " glitch '' in the system and that it would be fixed and I could mail in my payment which I did in XXXX XXXX. I thought the problem had been solved until the day I was supposed to make my next monthly payment, I received back in the mail the payment I had made in XXXX XXXX. Still after that I called every month to find out what was going on and no one at Bank of America could tell me. A year later in XXXX XXXX I hired a lawyer from an online website XXXX out of New York. Needless to say the charged me XXXX dollars a month for 8 months ( XXXX XXXX dollars ) and they did nothing! Took my money and never appeared in court on my behalf. I just found out this Law Firm scammed hundreds of consumers and is now filing bankrupt. To make a long story short Finally this year Bank of America was I guess trying to get their act together but too Late for me they said because im too far behind for them to help me and by the way, what happend to my modification was called " DELAYED CONVERSION '' ... ... .Bank of America recently sold my mortgage to XXXX XXXX XXXX. Im trying to go thru the modification process with them but its not looking good for me. There is a strict foreclosure judgement for XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 
Because of Bank of Americas negligence I am going to lose my home..Not Fair! Please please if there is anything anyone can do for please let me know.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NC)

XXXX XXXX XXXX reported me dead.. While after 10 days they have corrected their mistake I can not get verification from them for another 10 days so I can not open a credit card, rent a car as I have no credit card they have me stopped at every turn. The worst part is no one at XXXX XXXX XXXX can or will do anything to help. I simply asked for a letter from them emailed or faxed to me saying they made a mistake so I can open a credit card account.. That will take 10 days to go through their system and Equifax has 30 to 60 days to correct their report. This is unacceptable since they made the mistake they should be able to correct it immediately. XXXX XXXX XXXX customer service is awful. Hope I survive long enough to see this corrected.

All payments after XXXX would go to SLS.I made 3 payments to them ( XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX ). Each time they delayed and harassed me about late payment.

Company: Seterus, Inc. (NV)

Complaint against Seterus, Inc. Their procedures and forms are inadequate to meet customers ' needs ( allocating sums to each item payable ) and amount to a denial of their right to pay correctly additional amounts on their principals, every month, in a reasonable manner. Allocation of amounts paid each month since end of XXXX have been erroneously made by Seterus, causing unresolved phone calls and potential harm ( i.e., late payment ). 
Example : this month, on XXXX XXXX, Seterus allocated the whole amount of my payment ( exceeding my regular monthly amount ) to the principal instead of first to my whole monthly payment and the additional extra amount to the principal, and I discovered by chance that my XXXX XXXX payment was not recorded as paid, which would have induced late charges had I not made an additional phone call to verify Seterus ' letter acknowledging receipt of my payment that I received on XXXX XXXX or thereabout. Each month I must deal with this kind of errors which amount to consumer harassment.

I have a mortgage with Bank of America, I did a loan modification last year and all way good. This past XXXX they raised my payment {$700.00} and said it was because my escrow was short {$5000.00}. I asked why this amount was n't added into the modification. They told me it was missed. I was also told that I could do another loan modification in a year and I was at 8 months from my last XXXX. So I did n't make my XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX payments and I started the loan modification process in XXXX. after a lot and I mean a lot of faxing, explaining, and showing prof of earnings. I get an answer, I do n't qualify. That same week I get a letter saying Its not 12 months to do a re loan modification it 's 24 months. So I filed a complaint with the CFPB and got a response from Bank of America with in 2 days. I was assigned a Customer Relations Manager. I talked with him and was told he will work hard to come to a resolution to the complaint. Now I 'm behind 6 months on my mortgage. He tells me to make a payment for XXXX of {$400.00} more then my original modification amount. So I did, he says now I 'll only be behind 6 months behind and my XXXX payment will only " Get this would be {$100.00} more then, my original loan modification. Then I get a letter in the mail XXXX/XXXX/2015 saying that a escrow review was conducted and my escrow account is now NOT negative. I call Bank of America today to Just find out where to send my XXXX payment. The customer care guy says that my house is in foreclose and a sales date could be at anytime. he also tells me that I 'm 7 months behind not XXXX. I asked to speak to my Customer Relations manager, He says I am no longer assigned XXXX. Also he tells me that Bank of America will not except any payments, The only payment that they will except, is XXXX that will bring my mortgage current. So I ask him whats the total amount to bring it current, He says I do n't know. He 'll have to email the lawyer that is handling the foreclose. I said, can I contact him, He says no, I ask to talk to my customer relations manager, He says no he 's not allowed to transfer me. So in short of it all. Bank of America took me on a 6 month, Stressful and pointless circle for {$100.00} which set me back 7 months on my mortgage and looks like getting foreclosed on. Thank you Bank of America.

Dear CFPB Representative, I want to dispute information on my credit report previously disputed with XXXX, but I was not able to get any information regarding where the accounts came from, why were the accounts in question in my credit report, and why the bank did not do enough to produce concrete information regarding the accounts in question.

This company has put on my credit report the following accounts XXXX and XXXX, there are Xs on these accounts as the XXXX last digits of each account is hidden.

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (MA)

We took an equity line with Citizens Bank in XX/XX/XXXX. After a long process to get this loan we signed the paperwork in XX/XX/XXXX. We then used the money to pay contractors to do some work on our home. The paperwork was " lost '', " not processed '' or just misplaced and we had to duplicate some of this paperwork for months after the loan was originated. The payment set up was incomplete which caused headaches and late charges which after a full year the bank realized their errors and reversed all those charges and cleaned the record. In XX/XX/XXXX I refinanced my home and closed the equity line. Unbeknownst to me or my wife was that Citizens slipped a line in the documents to charge {$350.00} for early termination of the equity line if closed within three years. I only found this out when I received a statement showing my payment for this. They also charge us a yearly fee to have the loan " open '' which they did not prorate for the 4 months we did not use. I have complained to the bank about this and that the loan officer did not explain this fee prior to the loan being opened. On top of this they also charged {$25.00} for a fax to get the payoff of the loan. The bank refuses to give a refund for the {$350.00} or the prorated fee for the loan or the {$25.00} for a fax fee that was also never discussed. {$25.00} for a fax seems a bit high, almost a price gouging situation. The bank personnel have told me they would return calls several times within 24-48 hours and yet have taken over a week on each occasion to reply to me with the same negative response about reimbursing my fees that were paid. Had I been aware of the {$350.00} fee I could have kept the loan " open '' until XXXX with a minimum balance to avoid these fees. I was not given that opportunity to do this and the statement I received was weeks after the payment was made making this situation even that much more frustrating.

I sell XXXX online for payment with paypal. I 'm registered with XXXX and follow strict customer Id and XXXX procedures. I had a customer buying large amounts of XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX. We collected multiple selfie with id pictures. Also the customer was shipped secure tokens XXXX to her address and had to read back the numbers to prove she was who she said she was. This customer claimed on XXXX XXXX that her identity was stolen. She made a claim to paypal that her identity was stolen and after looking at all the customer identification, and her ip address, and useragent all matched her pc and iphone, they determined there was near XXXX probability that her identity had been stolen. So after a week though, paypal now claims that her bank did ach reversals on all {$16000.00} that she spent. They want me to pay this. I want the name of someone at the bank to speak to about this and proof, but paypal wo n't provide it. I do n't think I should have to pay paypal back if they wo n't allow me to refute the alleged evidence that they have. I do n't even see any evidence that anything was charged back. Paypal says that I 'm not protected because XXXX is not physical goods, but it is also not the same as music, videos, or software. If the product is stolen, I am out nearly 100 % of the cost unlike music, videos, or software that are only copies. Also every single sale was sold using XXXX which DOES PROVIDE TRACKING and proof that the customer recieved the merchandise. Yes, the seller should be liable under some circumstances, but I feel given the massive evidence of fraud on the customer 's part here that paypal should do something more. And I feel that I should at least be able to see the reversal documents from the bank as proof. If they want to redact some private information that is ok. It is a shame how banks and paypal allow people to commit obvious fraud and theft and do nothing about it, and try to pass along all the costs to the seller.
