Issue: Credit decision / Underwriting — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (VA)

I was given a rate to term out my home equity loan and I had XXXX days to lock it in. I called back on the XXXX day and was told I could not get that rate since I had made a draw online earlier that same day. The draw was from my Home Equity Line to my Wells Fargoi checking. I was told the last time I spoke to them that I could make draws up until XXXX 2015 which was the end of my draw period. Never was I told the rate would change if I made a draw. After they told me they would not honor the rate they guranteed for XXXX days, I told them I would go online and repay the draw back as it was still sitting there in my Wells Fargo checking account. They said I had given up the rate because of the draw. This all happened around XXXX on a business day so the fact that they would not let me go back to where I was a few hours earlier is evidence they were trying to switch the rate which had increased over a half of a percent. They said if I wanted to lock in it was going to be at a new higher rate even though I was still in my XXXX days they had quoted before. The last year Wells Fargo has called and written me several times about my home equtiy line maturing until the point it was border line harrasment. It even came up on the ATM screen when I used the ATM. When I agree to term out early they switch the rate. I told them several times I would reverse the draw while we were still talking on the phone but they said I forfeited the the other rate even if I pay it down to the same balance it was earlier the same day. This is unfair, misleading and deceptive.

I legally settled a credit card account with Wells Fargo Bank on XXXX/XXXX/14. The balance at time of settlement was {$13000.00} and I paid, per our settlement agreement, {$6700.00}. The amount they subsequently wrote off was {$6700.00}. I have attached a Satisfaction letter from Wells Fargo as proof that the account is fully satisfied, however, Wells Fargo continues to report a balance in the amount of {$6700.00} for this account to my credit report at all XXXX of the major credit reporting agencies XXXX XXXX XXXX. Obviously this is harming my credit significantly. I have disputed this account both with the credit reporting agencies and, subsequently directly with Wells Fargo but they arrogantly do not respond to me with explanation and continue to reporting this balance, even though they clearly know they are reporting in error. To my understanding, this is a blatant violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I have also attached the XXXX letters that I sent directly to Wells Fargo, informing them of their error in reporting.

Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low — 
Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (LA)

I have been charged multiple overdraft fees to an account I have at Regions bank despite being opted out of overdraft coverage and being told any transactions would be declined instead of allowing the account to become overdrawn. This account is primarily used for bills and other small transaction so it never keeps a high balance. There have been a few occasions where my account has gone over, but I was not charged a fee because Regions is supposed to decline charges that go over and it is their error when it does. Or so I 've been told. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, my balance was {$30.00} and a charge for {$12.00} was made by me bringing the balance to {$17.00}. I was then charged a {$36.00} fee for unknown reason which overdrafted the account. Being unaware that I was charged this fee, XXXX more charges tried to go through. Instead of being declined, they were allowed to post to the account and I was charged an additional {$72.00} in fees bringing my account to - {$200.00}. 

No explanation was given to me for these charges or why they were allowed to post. They did, however, try to convince me to opt in for overdraft protection which would have done me no good. 

Now, on XX/XX/XXXX, I checked my account to find it overdrawn by {$49.00} because of an account adjustment the bank has done for reasons I can not figure out. A bill was paid for {$150.00} and a transaction for {$58.00} was deducted, leaving the account at a posted balance of {$0.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX. The adjustment was done XX/XX/XXXX with no explanation.

American Express ( Amex ) failed to follow their term in their letter dated XXXX/XXXX/2015 ( copy sent earlier ). All their past responses to this complaint are irresponsible. Therefore, I will continue to file this complaint until Amex becomes responsible and transfers the XXXX earned rewards points to my open Amex account. 

I am in full disagreement with Amex 's failure to transfer XXXX earned points from my closed Amex account # XXXX to my open Amex account # XXXX ( copies sent earlier ), because Amex stated in their XXXX/XXXX/2015 letter, " that as per the XXXX Terms and Conditions if you cancel your enrollment in the program and do n't keep open any American Express Cards, all points in your program account will be immediately forfeited ''. The key word in this quote is the word " any '', which pertains to my open Amex account # XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/2015 I advised Amex in my letter ( copy sent earlier ) of this open Amex account. 

Amex needs to transfer my earned XXXX points to my open Amex account # XXXX per their terms and conditions. If then they are not in compliance with Federal banking laws.

Company: Fay Servicing, LLC (CA)

To whom it may concern, I am submitting this dispute due to the fact that I had submitted a dispute pertaining to an outstanding " corporate balance '' Fay Servicing was indicating of {$21000.00}. Fay responded to have removed {$9600.00} however Fay servicing is now indicating the outstanding balance is {$11000.00} in an escrow shortage. A couple of years back I had specifically recalled Fay deciding to pay my property taxes and insurance, they had begun impounding them. I was accessed the shortfall over a period of about 2.5years to cover the payment they had made to the property taxes and insurance the first year they began impounding. They collected the approximate {$12000.00} plus the monthly impound payment over a 2.5years period because it was a substantial balance that I could not pay up front. I would have appreciated they dug in further to review that I had in fact paid that impound shortfall. I need Fay Servicing to do a thorough analysis of my impound payments as they are not doing so. 
How do these servicing company 's get away with imposing " corporate '' fees without doing their due diligence. It is such a shame there are borrowers that do n't question these predators, that are out to ensure the best interest of the note holder not the consumer. 
I was recently re-accessed in my impound account once again because Fay did not properly collect enough the year prior yet they sent me a check of {$700.00} that very same year, to note there were no increases to either my property taxes or insurance. Fay Servicing 's impound department does not seem to be very organized. Is there any regulations or audits that can be done on the servicer 's impound departments to avoid these types of aggravations? These huge errors pose a major financial burden/problem to consumers. 
I am in the process of refinancing my mortgage to relinquish further relationship with Fay Servicing. I would appreciate an investigation be made, this experience has been a nightmare to deal with. I will go through my record 's to pull out all the detailed information pertaining my impound assessments. 
I look to have this matter resolved immediately, thank you.

He asked if he could get it with a letter from the lawyer or a notarized letter from several witnesses, and they just told him not to waste his time. They closed my account because according to them they couldnt prove who he was. When we asked them why they didnt just transfer the money to the bank that issued it if they werent going to give it to us, they told us that eventually the money would be sent to our house, but that could take months or even years. I think that this shows a huge lack of respect, and it is abusive behavior toward a couple of people who are only claiming whats theirs. We have a critical situation involving a XXXX child.
