Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (CA)

The new IRS regulation limiting the IRA rollovers has put a burden on those of us who have saved for retirement and are trying to manage our own investments without paying fees to stockbrokers. IRS publication XXXX, XXXX XXXX, 2014 states that " trustees are encouraged to provide the customer a check made payable to the receiving IRA trustee. '' This would satisfy the trustee to trustee requirement. Citibank refuses to accommodate our request and instead wants to charge us a {$75.00} fee to use the trustee to trustee transfer method. We feel that we have been penalized enough and are at a loss as to how to cope with continuing to have to deal with regulations that are not friendly to the customer. 
We realize that you do n't control interest rates, but before we could at least move our retirement accounts around to get the best interest rate, however meager.

Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (GA)

XX/XX/2015 I opened a complaint with Suntrust regarding fraud on my account totaling {$470.00}. The purchases were made over XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. Not only were the charges made with vendors completely outside my purchase history, I provided my alibi of corporate payroll proving I was clocked into my work. Also, I tracked down multiple receipts from the actual vendors, XXXX being one in particular, which has every pattern of fraud one could think of. XXXX Salads, XXXX cans of motor oil, etc ... In addition the receipt shows a card not in my name being declined before mine was accepted for the purchase. Even with all the proof I gave to Suntrust and signing an affidavit affirming the transactions were not authorized by me or by any person acting with my authorization, knowledge, or content, Suntrust has denied my claim 4 times over the last 9 months. First was because the purchases " were in the region in which I was living '' and more recently because they are saying there is there is no way to prove there was a duplicate card or that someone did n't have my actual card with my approval. In addition, the revoking of my provisional fraud credit caused my checking account to overdraft twice.

Citibank sent the cosigner, my mother, a letter demanding full payment of my private Citiassist loan which startled her almost to a state of shock. They claimed after repeated requests I 've failed to make required payment on the loans. Citibank claims the loan charges off after 120 days. I have a past due balance of less than XXXX and paid them a monthly payment less than thirty days prior. When I called and asked why only my cosigner received this letter, the flustered correspondent sent me to an escalation specialist ( # XXXX ) who refused to explain anything and literally only asked when I would like to make a payment for the full due balance and never answered for their dishonest attempt to shake down my mother behind my back.

I have a mortgage through US Bank. Several months ago, due to my medical condition and other short term circumstances, I fell behind on my payments, during which time I submitted a loss mitigation package to give me temporary respite to get caught back up. US Bank had said they needed more information for my package ( specifically a written statement that I no longer had tenants ), but had not informed me of such. By the time I was informed, my loss mitigation package had already been dropped ( XXXX XXXX ). Now I am in danger of foreclosure. Additionally, I was told that when I submitted the required paperwork to my POC via email, the representative I spoke with told me it was n't their responsibility to check that the document was received, and had no knowledge of whether or not it was. Furthermore, I asked for protection under the SCRA, using all proper procedures, and had no response regarding that aspect.

I have also experienced Green Tree telling me there is no other option to pay than a {$12.00} fee through a separate entity. In the beginning I was pressured to use this service. I was told that if I mailed a check that it had to be received by the due date no matter when it was postmarked. I began to pay through my bank account transfer and if Greentree did n't receive it on time, I was charged a late fee. I also experienced calls to pay for a bill that was already paid. I called and was told it was in an " unapplied account '' sitting for no purpose. I feel they do that to collect more interest by not applying it to the principal which was what it should have went to or at least credited to the next months payment instead of being called about defaulting. How can I default when they actually have extra money but put it into an " unapplied account '' and then call me and say I 'm delinquent? I never heard of an unapplied account anywhere. If I did n't recall paying extra, green tree would n't have told me about the unapplied account because all they are interested in is making money for themselves, using the unapplied account to keep the interest they receive higher by not adding it to the principal.

We received a notice dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX from the law firm of XXXX XXXX XXXX advising us that our Ocwen HELOC loan had been referred to them for foreclosure. The loan had been reinstated by telephone XXXX XXXX, XXXX and in writing XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Our bank transferred by wire {$5000.00}. ( substantially more than the {$2700.00} quoted as the reinstatement amount ) to Ocwen on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Concurrently, our bank advised Ocwen of the funds transfer by email. Ocwen informed us by telephone on XXXX XXXX, XXXX that they reneged the reinstatement. 

Since XXXX XXXX, Ocwen changed the payoff amount and due date countless times. Each time a different Ocwen representative contacted us, not one of whom was aware of prior letters or phone calls or the most recent information given us by Ocwen. Also since that time Ocwen has been able to provide accurate accounting on our loan, whether it was credit for payments made ( substantiated by their own monthly statements ) and when, credit for additional payments made to principal, etc. We also received numerous calls requesting overdue payment amounts ; when asked for the remittance address, the Ocwen caller hung up the phone. On one occasion, I contacted the same representative and was told she was unavailable ; I said I 'd hold until she became available. After 2 hours I was told she 'd left for the day and it was n't known when she 'd return. 

When I had " telephone appointments '' with our designated " resolution manager '' I was contacted by yet another representative who said that that person was on another call, in a meeting, away from her desk among other reasons I could n't speak with the same person. Then the new representative, oblivious to former information, continued on to give more erroneous data. 

We have acted in good faith with Ocwen to no avail. Full documentation is available, if necessary, for all of the above statements.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (OH)

I have disputed an entry on my credit report with the XXXX major credit bureaus, but the information remains. It is a debt of over {$1000.00} from the collection agency XXXX out of XXXX. The debt they attempted to collect from me was fabricated by a leasing company known as XXXX XXXX out of XXXX, XXXX. I lived at XXXX XXXX for approximately 10 months in XXXX. Due to illegal and dangerous activity on the premise including illegal drug use, frequent verbal and physical fights in the common areas, my family being victims of theft on multiple occasions and a fire arm abandoned and recovered by police near the children 's playground area we moved out in XX/XX/XXXX, breaking our lease several month early. Although the property manager actually was the XXXX to suggest I move out when I brought the above concerns to her attention in XX/XX/XXXX, when we moved out the owner threatened to charge us for breaking our lease ( claiming the property manager did not have the authority to grant us permission to do so ) and when he was unable to collect rent for the months we no longer lived on the premises the company fabricated approximately {$1500.00} of " damages '' they claim the apartment sustained in retaliation for my complaints of illegal activity and for breaking out lease. I have XXXX photos of the condition of every room in the apartment on the day we moved out, including close-ups of the condition of built-in shelves and closets, which show there were no damages to the apartment at all. When my security deposit was withheld, I immediately contacted the owner 's office via phone, explained the situation and provided XXXX photographs of the apartment on the day we moved out showing no damages, ( I provided these via email to XXXX XXXX at XXXXXXXXXXXX ). My email was ignored so I later called and insisted on talking to the owner himself who was very angry and refused to take any action to correct the situation citing that he was still angry that we broke our lease and complained about the dangerous and illegal activities in the complex. XXXX XXXX withheld my {$500.00} security deposit and sold the remaining " debt '' of over {$1000.00} to XXXX XXXX. I informed the collection agency of all these details and was continually harassed on my cell phone, even after requesting they only contact me in writing. These charges from XXXX XXXX and the corresponding debt sold to XXXX XXXX is completely fraudulent. I am filing a concurrent complaint about XXXX XXXX 's debt collection practices and am filing a complaint to the FTC about the leasing company XXXX XXXX. I 'm attaching the XXXX photos of the apartment taken while we were in the process of moving out on our last day at the residence in 2014.

Company: Community Loan Servicing, LLC (formerly known as Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC) (VA)

I am filing a complaint against Bayview Loan Servicing LLC concerning events leading up to, as well as following a short sale of my home in 2012. During that time there were other resources, programs, and help that was supposed to be made available to me - programs coming from the federal government, to include XXXX and CFPB guidance. However, at no time during my inquiries to Bayview did anyone discuss these programs and resources with me. As a result of the inability to reduce the interest rate and adjust the mortgage, I was forced to ultimately go through a short sale. 
Recently I have mailed them twice with a USPS registered return receipt. They have failed to correspond with me concerning those letters. In those letters I asked that they, as an act of goodwill, remove the negative reporting of my XXXX delinquencies from my credit report. I asked them to do this, as it has been almost four years since the short sale. As part of the justification for the short sale, I cited the need to find adequate and adaptable housing for my XXXX daughter. My current lease is over in 4 months, and the negative reporting is jeopardizing my ability to qualify for a home that meets my daughter 's needs. 
Again - they failed to notify me of programs that might have kept me from going through a short sale, and they also refused to adjust my interest rate on my mortgage. All I have asked for now is to take the negative rating off of my credit, and they have failed to even answer my requests. Furthermore - I have tried countless times to speak with a Bayview representative on the phone. Unfortunately, every time I call their system, it pushes my through several automated responses and ends up hanging up on me. Their phone system does not work for the consumer. 
I ask for your assistance in this matter. 
thank you
