Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (UT)

I was divorced and the court made me sign a quit claim deed for the house over to my ex-wife. The VA loan on the house was in both our names. MY wife did not pay the house payments for over 2 years. Foreclosure papers we sent but my ex-wife kept them from foreclosing somehow. She moved out of the house. The bank again sent foreclosure papers. I contacted Wells Fargo to see how I could refinance the VA loan on the house to stop the foreclosure. I was informed by XXXX XXXX ( the sole holder of all the mortage information from Wells Fargo ) that a cease and desist order was placed on the account ( XXXX ) and he could not discuss my loan with me until that was removed. I ask what I could do to remove it. He said send me a letter asking for it to be removed. I faxed it over more than once. After sending this request I was unable to reach XXXX even after multiple phone calls ( leaving messages after each one to call me back ). The fax asked him to call me back. No response. I then tried to talk to anyone at Wells Fargo mortgage department as time was getting very low. Nobody could talk to me as XXXX was the only one I could talk to as the account was assigned to him solely. Eventually the house went to foreclosure and was sold for less than what was owed. I am a XXXX veteran ( XXXX ) I deserved to be able to try to refinance this house. Now I owe more than I can repay. Is this legal? What can I do about this? Thnak you. XXXX XXXX

Company: DISCOVER BANK (NC)

I was attempting to settle a debt with XXXX XXXX. I talked with XXXX on XXXX separate occasions for pay off. The first time it was {$2700.00} about six weeks ago. Then I contacted XXXX again 3 weeks ago and he said it was {$2800.00} ( interest added ). I was waiting to get closer to when I could pay this debt, so I called XXXX XXXX. XXXX explained to me the debt was now {$11000.00}. Apparently what happened was the bank i was working with called XXXX XXXX to get a payoff. XXXX XXXX then realized more money could be available, so they changed my payoff to {$11000.00}. 
My problem is the loan will not be approved know because I do not have enough equity to pay the additional {$9000.00} needed for the loan to go thru. 
They also asked to see my Loan Estimate and Closing disclosure ... .and they would consider reducing the amount.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (VA)

On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I contacted the toll-free number for TransUnion Online Personal Credit Service to complain that the service was merely a front to sell me more products and did not provide me with a credit report as advertised when I signed up. The number XXXX was answered by someone CLEARLY not in the US. The Operator refused to tell me where they were located and when I asked to be transferred to a call center in the US, was told I would need to provide all of my personal info. I will not provide that info to an off-shore service. 

After XXXX calls and XXXX VERY RUDE refusals, I have decided to take this route in hopes of having people understand this joke of a service. I want this service cancelled, any money charged me returned and people warned as to what a clear waste of time this product pushing service is for the average consumer. 

How can the division of TransUnion that provides credit reports through the mail transfer me to a US call center, but another division so thoroughly waste my time and degrade what little reputation your company already has '' Thank you

Nationstar Mortgage changed the escrow amount due in my monthly payments without issuing a RESPA required statement of escrow or otherwise notifying me of the change. This caused my payment to be held in suspense since it was not sufficient to cover the full, inaccurate, amount. In addition, I was then charged a late fee for a missed payment, and reported to the credit reporting agencies as delinquent.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (TX)

Bank of America ( BofA ) has not honored a {$300.00} checking account promotion I signed up for in XXXX, and fulfilled the terms on. BofA was supposed to pay the {$300.00} bonus within 60 days of fulfilling the terms, which was over 15 days ago from this complaint. 

I have been a BofA credit card customer since XXXX. Last year, I logged into my BofA credit card account and had an offer box on the side stating a {$300.00} bonus for opening a new checking account. I clicked on the link, which took me to an application page where I then signed up. There was no promo code, only the link. I did print off the offer after following the link, which I will try to attach and which I completed all terms for the promo. 

Yesterday I did an online chat with a BofA representative ( there was no option to SM them ) to inquire, and he said he could not help me but I needed to call their main checking account number ( XXXX ) to inquire. The person there said they could not see the promo code on my account but gave me a new internal number for marking online redemption issues ( XXXX ). I then called that number, and the person refused to deal with me since it was supposedly an " internal '' number. I then asked what number I needed to call to talk with someone and submit my records ( being very clear it was a checking account issue ), and he assured me they would handle it at XXXX. When I called THAT number, it was corporate credit cards, and they said they had no jurisdiction to help me! 

It 's obvious that BofA has XXXX interest in trying to assist customers with collecting the bonus they are due based on the almost 2 hours I put in and XXXX different departments giving me the run-around! Therefore, I 've resorted to filing this federal complaint due to the sinister organizational structure BofA has erected to try to get its customers to give up on collecting any checking account bonus due. I hope CFPB, besides resolving my issue, looks into fining BofA for providing no viable due process for a customer requesting a bonus and offering to submit evidence that they had signed up for it -- particularly since BofA offered this bonus online and how " convenient '' it is for them to claim the bonus offer was not associated with the account based on the lack of any paper trail.

Regarding RCS aka Residential Credit Solutions , Inc They falsely reported that we submitted NSF checks for XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX payments. 
As soon as we submitted proof that they received payment RCS claimed XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX check payment also was NSF. Then the story changed, RCS alleged that we wrote the check on a closed account. The check had not been presented to our bank. After a heated exchange yesterday, miraculously the check in question was submitted for payment this morning. RCS failed to return phone calls, confirm payments and did not ever mention reversing late fees they assessed to our account. The expedite hot line never returned a call.
