Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

Approximately one year ago we started a short sale of our home with or mortgage holder Wells Fargo Bank. We have had a constant turn over in paperwork all the while meeting out our obligation and turning over all of the requested documents. During this time we have been harassed by Wells Fargo 's so called field agents. These field agents have come to our home at all hours of the day and evening without prior warning and have refused to show identification upon our request, saying that they are not required to so. They have taken pictures of our home on several occasions without our consent and have violated our privacy. They are very unprofessional in their appearance and often come to our home with several other unidentified persons riding in their vehicles. In our attempts to file complaints with the bank the Points of Contact have been unresponsive. The Points of Contact who I believe are designated by Wells Fargo to be our intermediaries, lack the most basic of customer service training skills. We have had numerous XXXX as Wells Fargo refers to them and they are totally " useless '' in this process. Either they are ignorant of what items they are asking for or they do n't ever call the customer back to answer questions and concerns. 

Finally on XXXX XXXX, 2015, we received a " Letter to Participate '' which is a HUD article and approval to proceed with the short sale. Since that time Wells Fargo 's Loan Adjuster 1/FHA Liquidations-XXXX has been a literal " sand bag '' in the what should be the final process of the sale. It appears to most of the professionals that have had anything to do with our transaction and XXXX XXXX that she purposely " sitting '' on our final approval for short sale. She has continuously failed to properly communicate with our Realtor in requesting the proper documentation for closure of our sale, to the point of even threatening us with removal from the HUD approval list without documented reasoning. Unfortunately it appears that through time XXXX XXXX may have come to believe that she is above reproach. We have contacted Wells Fargo supervisory staff on several occasions without any direct result. XXXX XXXX XXXX has been the latest to attempt to intervene for us even though he is not XXXX XXXX 's direct supervisor. We understand that XXXX XXXX is a important person to Wells Fargo. We have been made well aware of her role in representing Wells Fargo Bank, but she works for the bank, she, herself is not the bank. 
We are now on our XXXX, buyer. This buyer has been given excellent treatment by it 's lending institution and has offered " above the Fair Market Value '' for our home. Yet again we just re-sent documents that were requested by XXXX XXXX, items that were sent on several other occasions. The Buyers are anxious and frustrated, as we are ourselves. Please assist us in this matter.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (GA)

Subject : Formal Complaint and Dispute of Debt Collection Practices Dear XXXX XXXX I am writing to formally dispute the collection account referenced in my credit report and to address multiple violations of my consumer rights under federal law. The collection account in question has been placed on my consumer report by your agency without adhering to the required legal procedures. Below, I outline the specific violations : 1. **Failure to Provide Validation Information** : According to 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ), your agency is required to provide specific validation information to me as the consumer. Despite this, you have not furnished any validation information for the alleged debt, yet it appears on my consumer report. 

2. **Lack of Opportunity to Dispute the Account** : Under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ), I am entitled to a reasonable opportunity to dispute the account. I have not been given any such opportunity to dispute this account prior to it being reported to the consumer reporting agencies. 

3. **Use of False, Misleading, and Deceptive Practices** : Your agency is in violation of my consumer rights by using false, misleading, and deceptive means to collect a debt. This is a clear infringement of the guidelines set forth to protect consumers from unfair collection practices. 

4. **Improper Furnishing of Information to Consumer Reporting Agencies** : Your agency has no authority to furnish any account information to consumer reporting agencies without providing all required disclosures by law. This is in direct violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S2 ( 7 ) ( A ).

In light of these violations, I am requesting the following actions be taken immediately : 1. **Removal of the Collection Account** : The erroneous collection account must be removed from all consumer reporting agencies. 

XXXX. **Cease and Desist Communication** : Your agency must cease all communication with me regarding this alleged debt unless it is to inform me that the account has been removed from my credit report or to provide the validation information as required by law. 

XXXX. **Provide Validation Information** : If you believe the debt to be valid, please provide all the required validation information in compliance with 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ). Please consider this letter as a formal complaint and request for investigation into the aforementioned violations. Failure to address these issues promptly will leave me no choice but to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and other relevant regulatory authorities. I expect a written response within 30 days from the date of this letter detailing the actions taken to resolve these issues.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (AZ)

XXXX acting on behalf of one of my investors, U.S. Bank, has violated the Fair Review Process requiring servicers to review and respond to a request for modification within 30 days. Originally I submitted a compliant because XXXX XXXX XXXX moved forward with foreclosure procedures after receiving a full file submission XX/XX/XXXX. The day after filing their response to the CFPB compliant I was decline a modification on or about XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX decided to review my case again for possible modification and requested updated documentation, which was sent on XXXX XXXX via email, which they never responded to confirm receipt of documents, which is required. At that time I was told that now I qualified to be reviewed for HAMP and that 's why they were requesting additional documentation. On or about XX/XX/XXXX I called and confirmed the documents were received and submitted to underwriting for review. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called to check the status of the review and if my foreclosure sale scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX was postponed. I was told that they would not make that decision until XX/XX/XXXX. I then called on XX/XX/XXXX and the sale was still not postponed. When I followed up on the XXXX I was told that the sale had been postponed to XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I called to follow up on the status of my review and was told my request for modification was declined on XX/XX/XXXX and a decline letter was sent out on that day. It took XXXX XXXX XXXX 40 days for them to review my request and I had to contact them to find out I was declined. Since I filed my first CFPB compliant the phone calls from my relationship manager ceased. 
For the XX/XX/XXXX decline I was told it was because I did n't meet the NPV guidelines. For the second decline I was told because I declined a HAMP modification XX/XX/XXXX. However, upon review of the HAMP guidelines, I still meet eligibility to be reviewed again for HAMP. I did not default on the HAMP Trail by completing all three required payments and HAMP mod was not completed. There is not rule against declining the modification, which would have raised my monthly payment and set my interest rate higher than my current rate after 5 years. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX has continued to lie to me, provide false and conflicting information and violated CFPB rules in regards to borrowers who are facing foreclosure. Due to this I am looking at filing a Chapter XXXX bankruptcy to save my house.

Company: TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC (FL)

I was injured in a fall at home on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I went to XXXX XXXX Hospital in XXXX XXXX XXXX and was treated in the XXXX. About a week later my wife and I traveled to XXXX where we spend XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Apparently during this time period XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sent a bill to our home address asking us to pay {$57.00}. We never received this bill/statement eve though our mail was forwarded to our XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/2015 we received a phone call from TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC. advising that they were a debt collection agency and we needed to pay this bill. They were given valid credit card information to pay the entire {$57.00} and we were provided authorization number XXXX from TRANSWORLD SYSTEMS INC and promised a letter to follow saying the matter had been handled. On XXXX/XXXX/2015 AT XXXX we received a call from a male voice saying he was with TRANSWORLD and that this bill for {$57.00} needed to be paid as they were a collection agency. When I asked the caller for more information, he became upset and said he 'd mail us the demand and then he hung up. I called back to TRANSWORLD three times immediately. Each time after identifying myself and providing the account number we had been provided I was abruptly disconnected by the TRANSWORLD employee. On the fourth call to TRANSWORLD a female identifying herself as XXXX XXXX listened to the information we had, i.e. the bill had been paid by credit card 11 days previous, we had not received the confirmation letter via mail, and I provided the authorization number received from TRANSWORLD. XXXX XXXX said that their system did not show any payment or credit card information. XXXX did check with her supervisor, XXXX XXXX and eventually came back on the line to say that TRANSWORLD has been having computer problems, and " employee problems '' and requested that we pay the bill again. Again our credit card information was provided and again we were given a second conformation number from TRANSWORLD. I requested that TRANSWORLD send a letter to each credit reporting bureau explaining TRANSWORLD 's error and was advised that a letter would not be necessary as our credit ratings had not been damaged.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (CT)

I am writing to the consumer financial protection bureau to remake a complaint concerning a matter which I previously made a complaint on in XXXX of 2015 ( complaint # XXXX ) on my private student loans. At that time I made the complaint that even though I was paying my bill, Navient was still harassing my aunt who is a cosigner on my loan and was suffering from XXXX, had a XXXX and had XXXX at XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX Hospital in XXXX XXXX, where she lives. She has now been diagnosed with a mass on her liver. When I complained to you and your organization, you got in touch with Navient and the harassing phone calls stopped to my aunt. I continued to make payments and arrangements as I will outline in the following but my major worry is that they have yet again started harassing my aunt. I would seriously request your help in making them refrain from harassing my aunt suffering from XXXX who is not responsible for the bill and only a cosigner. I would like her removed as I have been making the payments. 
As of right now, I had spoken with Navient and had been told if I submitted bank statements and pay stubs that I would be qualified for a program to reduce my interest rate to 1 % and my payments would be {$250.00} a month. I submitted the paperwork and they took a payment of {$250.00}. Navient left me a voicemail saying I was approved but they needed to speak to me. When I called back, they said I was not approved in complete contradiction to what I had been previously told and with the amounts of money taken out of my account. Of course no full names were given to me and they did not give me any other options. In the mean time they have taken XXXX more payments of {$250.00} out of my bank account. They have continued to call my Aunt who has been battling XXXX for years having XXXX, a XXXX and been through XXXX treatment and recently discovered a XXXX. My XXXX continually receives calls at home and at work, day and night. The last person I spoke to at Navient told me he needed to speak with my aunt to set up the program. When my aunt spoke to the man he was extremely rude and said " You can pay your bills but not us. '' That is completely wrong to say that to someone who has been paying medical bills on top of her own family matters and who is not responsible for this bill and is simply a cosigner. It can not be legal for Navient to take payments and then say I am no longer qualified for the program let alone verbally abuse my aunt on the phone. I am trying my best and have been making payments but Navient continues to break their word and not work with me and harass my aunt which I have previously put in a complaint about.

Company: Sortis Financial, Inc. (CA)

To Whom It May Concern, I am filing this complaint against ClearSpring Loan Services because they are alleging they are the servicer of a second mortgage loan I took out in XXXX with XXXX Bank, NA and was charged off in XXXX. For over seven years I heard nothing about this second mortgage because I was informed it was charged off. Clearspring Loan Services just came out of the blue and are trying to foreclose on my property on a deed of trust that has been extinguished. Not only has the deed of trust been extinguished by way of a charge off, on XXXX XXXX, XXXX I mailed them a letter of rescission. Upon learning that my rescission rights were still available under this loan due to the fact that my loan was never consummated because my true lender or the true source of funds were never revealed to me, I mailed Clearspring a letter of rescission. Under the Federal Truth In Lending Act, the deed of trust and promissory note are canceled, made null and void by operation of law. If Clearspring wanted to challenge my letter of rescission they should have filed a declaratory judgment against me within 20 days of receipt of the letter of rescission. Clearspring received my letter of rescission on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Clearspring and/or the actual creditor this loan did not file a lawsuit against me. Furthermore, Clearspring have not taken any of the mandatory actions required under the Federal Truth In Lending Act. Instead of taking steps to provide me a release or reconveyance of the deed of trust, they are continuing their actions to try and foreclose on my property. The next scheduled foreclosure date is set for Tuesday, XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Clearspring is not only violating the Federal Truth In Lending Act, they are also violating the Rosenthal Act which is California Civil Code section XXXX. They are violating this Act by threatening to take actions not permitted by law, which includes attempting to foreclose on a void security interest, falsely stating the amount of a debt owed, and increasing the amount of a debt by including amounts that are not permitted by law or contract, and using unfair and unconscionable means in an attempt to collect a debt. I believe it was necessary for me to file this complaint because it appears Clearspring believes it can violate these laws without any consequences of their actions. I am seeking the assistance of the Consumer Financial Bureau to assist me in forcing Clearspring to abide by the law. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX
