Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing LLC (WV)

We purchased our home XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX Roundpoint Mortgage purchased our loan. Soon after we received a letter stating we did not have enough flood insurance and if we did not respond within 45 days they would force place extra coverage. Well our payments went up XXXX more a month. We received the exact same letter same wording and just a date change XXXX XXXX. My husband called our mortgage company numerous times, talked to several people who all have different answers. The fourth day of calling and being placed on hold for 50 minutes at times he finally spoke with a manager/supervisor. He explained what we had received and the manager told him that the issue had been resolved to just throw the letter away/put it to the side. She stated that we were paying the extra XXXX a month for extra flood insurance. She also stated that something was definitely wrong with our file and that she was going to send it to another managers office. We thought the problem was resolved. Still XX/XX/XXXX to be exact, we are flooded. We live in WV where XXXX of the XXXX counties were declared a disaster area. We called our insurance and made a claim. We then called our mortgage to let them know what had happened. While talking with the mortgage company we were told that we only had XXXX in flood insurance. Now mind you we just talked to the on XX/XX/XXXX and was told we had been paying extra for more insurance. My husband asked to speak to a supervisor and was placed on hold for hours at a time. The phone would be answered as if we were calling in for the first time again. We have never spoke to a supervisor to date. Two weeks after the flood we received an advancement check so we could get started rebuilding but our mortgage company told us to endorse it and send it to them to be placed in a file, that they have never heard of an advancement check. The issue with all of this is we have had to spend XXXX out of pocket to make our home livable but not repaired. The total damage to our home alone was XXXX. We only got XXXX to fix our home. As you can see that is not going to cover the damages. So, due to Roundpoint mortgage dropping the ball where our flood insurance is concerned we will not receive enough money to repair our home. We were told the XXXX extra was for extra flood insurance. If it was n't going towards flood insurance they have had our loan for almost two years, why was this issue not fixed?

Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. (PA)

I took out an auto loan from Santander in XXXX 2014. The loan has been in auto pay with no issues until last week. Last week I contacted them for the first time since I have had the loan and advised that I would not have the money available when the payment was scheduled to extract on the XXXX. The call center representative assured me that the payment would not extract, I even asked her if she was certain and she said " yes ''. When reviewing my bank account after the due date, I noticed that the payment had extracted from my bank account and I called Santander. I requested to speak with a supervisor who was not helpful at all. He stated he did n't know why the payment extracted but that he could refund it and I would have it back within 7 - 10 business days. I find that to be totally unacceptable and unfair to the me. As of today the payment still has not been refunded and I just called Santander again at XXXX EST and got a message that they are either closed or on the phone. At this point I do n't know what else to do other than ask for help from the CFPB, I have contacted Santander one time since accepting the loan from them almost two years ago, and asked one thing and they have failed the only thing I have asked them, this does not give me any confidence in them as a lender. Their poor service is causing me harm as I believed what they told me and anticipated that the funds would not extract. Obviously, I am not looking to not make the payment and I have never been as much as a day late with them, unfortunately I had some unplanned expenses come up and needed to pay a few days after the due date this month. I have attempted to contact them multiple times to try to resolve the issue, and I am either unable to reach them or when are unwilling to help when I do reach them.

The bankruptcy information in my credit file is a result of the unauthorized use of my social security number and other personal details.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (CA)

I have already filed several complaints with your agency, all of which end up being closed by the perpetrators indicating that they believe they have abided by the law while the truth is every piece of documentation I have contradicts this notion. Previous complaints have dealt with my reasonable attempt to modify my mortgage over the course 2.5 years in which the mortgage servicer " has played games '' rather than make any good-faith attempt at modification. Recently, after contacting their top compliance officer, I was able to get a " trial modification '' which expressed no clear terms on what benefit I would receive participating in such a program. Therefore I was forced to pass on such a modification. I have been given no reason to believe by the servicer that they or anyone that they are affiliated with has an association with my mortgage. After formally sending for RESPA request with over XXXX questions, the servicer has not provided any substantive answers. Further, my independent research has shown that the servicer has engaged in fraud to attempt to deprive me of my home and profit not only from the bailout money already provided to them, however also additionally profiting by giving fraudulent modification terms to me in an attempt to collect money while their intent is to attempt foreclosure. In researching at the County recorder 's office, I have found over the course of the past several years multiple fraudulent documents filed, in which each of the documents has additional fraudulent acts including forgery ; misrepresentation, and additional acts too numerous to name in this complaint. I have learned that the " pass-through account '' that the servicer has attributed their standing to does not contain my mortgage. I have issued a demand letter to the servicer and have received no response despite the fact that I am highly concerned about a very clouded title. The servicer did however send me a payoff statement which I believe was a further attempt at intimidation to ultimately deprive me of my home. I have substantial equity in my home and an inability to make any move on it as due to the fraud perpetrated by the servicer has clouded the title. I have demanded that the servicer provide me something that proves a non-fraudulent chain of title providing that standing and they are either incapable or unwilling to do so. Again this is only one aspect of many many complaints of illegal activity on the part of this company which has been publicly scrutinized before and forced to close under the name of XXXX. They then reemerged under The name Select Portfolio Services and they are engaging in the same activities that cause their legal troubles under the former corporate name. I will of course file a wrongful foreclosure lawsuit if they should continue these illegal attempts at depriving me of my home, however more importantly I am seeking a way to remove the cloud of title.

I closed on my CitiMortgage home loan in XXXX XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, I lost my job, and filed for bankruptcy in XXXX XXXX. I continued to make my mortgage payments. Since that time, I have been unable to access my loan online, create auto-payments, check my balance, escrow, etc. CitiMortgage regularly sends out someone to 'check occupancy ' and charges me for this. In XXXX XXXX, CitiMortgage notified my home owners insurance company that I no longer lived and the house was vacant. I have lived in my house continuously since the day I moved in, and I make my house payments. CitiMortgage sends me XXXX letters and XXXX envelopes a week. When I call to get this cleared up, I am told : 1. I owe thousands in fees and charges 2. No one can help me. 
3. I failed to 're-affirm the mortgage when my bankruptcy closed and the only way to do that now is to file bankruptcy again. ( I am financially solid now ) 4. My attorney tells me that CitiMortgage ( like XXXX -my auto loan company did ) was responsible for sending out the re-affirmation. 
I am caught in a viscous circle of everyone pointing fingers, charging me thousands in fees, sending me a demoralizing amount of mail all saying the same thing [ if you need help, call HUD. I do n't need help with paying my mortgage..I need help accessing my mortgage and getting the fees removed ]. I need help stopping the occupancy inspections and false notifications to my insurance company of abandonment. 
I want my mortgage cleared of all fines, and released to my access.

XXXX sent over several student loans to a collection law firm to collect on even though I never purchased or signed any paperwork with National Collegiate Trust which I complained about to them twice. Per FDCPA, the owner of the debt must show proof that they own it before they demand any money for it. XXXX failed to send me the proof of ownership that I asked for but instead they decided to send it to a law firm where it could be sued on. I also spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX and they acknowledged they had the loan before but none of the information was on the paperwork I received which is unacceptable. I never signed any paperwork or borrowed any money from XXXX XXXX XXXX either which they said to deal with National Collegiate Trust because they no longer have the loans. I do not see any ownership information from National Collegiate Trust or XXXX XXXX XXXX, I received a promissory note that states XXXX XXXX XXXX and then letters from the law firm that states owner was National Collegiate Trust but no explanation as to how they own this debt which is a requirement and I sent a letter asking for this information but I only received a promissory note and bills, nothing else and I asked for several issues to be resolved in the validation of debt that I sent to the law form on XXXX/XXXX/16. I did speak to a FDCPA attorney and was advised this debt is uncollectible without proof of ownership and no one can take legal action against me on this debt and it will need to be removed from my credit report. National Collegiate Trust and XXXX are trying to commit fraud against me. I have the copies of all of the complaints I have against XXXX as proof. National Collegiate Trust can not collect on this debt without ownership and that information must predated the day it was sent to the collections law firm.

We opened a cd with XXXX XXXX saving in XXXX XXXX XXXX Calif. During the term of the cd Union bank bought XXXX XXXX XXXX . Our 5 yr. cd matured and rolled into a new cd. XX/XX/2016 without receiving any notification from Union. When I discovered the cd rolled over I went to Union to cash it in. It was Monday. XX/XX/2016 I was upset about the penalty and the conversation with the teller was not having a beneficial effect. I ended up yelling and making a scene and abruptly left the bank with out cancelling the cd. Then on the following Wednesday, two days later, Union Bank called and said they were cancelling the cd and another account under my family name. I told them I was ok with them cancelling my cd figuring if they were cancelling it there would not be a cancellation penalty of {$1400.00}. but said I did not want the other account closed. The representative said he would have to ask the office if we could keep the other account open and would call me back. He called right back and said Union was requiring all my accounts be closed. They said they would be overnighting me a cashiers check for the cd. The next day when I looked at the cashiers check they had taken a {$1400.00}. penalty fee and claimed that they were closing the cd by my request. I did not cancel the cd, did not fill out any cancellation paper work and was planning on sitting on the cd till I figured out what I was going to do. Union did not call me on that Wednesday morning because of their desire to provide me with good customer care, not. They called because they wanted to cancel my accounts.

Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION (MD)

( 1 ) What happened : On XXXX XXXX, 2016, M & T Bank honored a {$700.00} fraudulent " digital check '' against our joint checking account. On XXXX XXXX, I found this check in an online review of our account and immediately notified M & T Bank of their negligence. We were told that the withdrawal was made against a " digital check '' which the bank was permitted to honor although it contained no signature and no endorsing signature on the back. The check number was higher than any check we had had printed for this account. We did not authorize this check or provide our bank account and/or routing number to the payee- or to anyone else- in writing, by phone, fax, or online. We visited our local bank the next day, as instructed, where we filed an Affidavit of Forgery and where we were advised to freeze the affected account and open a new account- which we did. 

Freezing our account meant that Social Security checks, which were automatically deposited, would not be available to us until the SS Administration is able to reroute the checks XX/XX/XXXX. 

For many XXXX, all of this could have been an impossibly time-consuming process and a catastrophic financial situation, perhaps affecting access to funds for medications and other living necessities.
