Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NY)

XXXX XXXX # XXXX address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY XXXX CFPBMy name is XXXX XXXX, and I work at the XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX. We would like to open a complaint against Wells Fargo with the intentions to come up with a solution for our client XXXX XXXX. The file was place a sales date in XXXX and we started a process for a Loan Modification at the end of XXXX. We stall the the sales date and managed to stop the sales date and foreclosure by having the underwriter review a complete package. 
Wells Fargo was en route to provide a Loan Modification in XXXX but then they change the account specialist at the middle of the review. The first review started with XXXX XXXX as a Single Point of Contact. The bank started requesting updated documentation which they already had, and they requested the same documents claiming they did not received the docs. Then through out the review process, they assigned a new single point of contact by the name XXXX XXXX ext XXXX. At first glance, he had no idea what was going on with the file, and after a few review of the documents, he told us the file was under review, then requested some documentation regarding bank statements and a property located in XXXX. We complied with the needed information, we send all documentation on a timely matter. We even had a couple of conversations with the underwriter clarifying the exact clarifications needed, as well as the documentation needed. We send all required documentation on a timely matter. 

Yesterday on XXXX XXXX, we had a conversation with XXXX in which he explained to us that the underwriter removed the file from review because all documents have expired, and advise we need to start the process all over due to expired documents. I advise him that the reason they expired is due to they kept requesting the same documentation over and over again, and now they have the dignity to come to say that we need to start the process again when they were the XXXX " stalling '' the file even though we complied with a complete package from the beginning of the process. 
We need a solution to be accomplished on this situation ASAP

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (NJ)

I had being a customer of American express credit card for 11 year with never being late once since XXXX 2015 in which I thought the payment was due on XXXX XXXX 2015, but it was actually due on XXXX XXXX 2015. I was charge for a {$27.00} dollar late fee for which I call customer service to see if they can waive since it was the first time in 11 years that it had happened and I had being always a good customer by paying on time and having my paid on full most of the time. The representative asked to make the payment of the balance which I did immediately and then she declined to waive the late fee. I ask to be escalated to a supervisor and the supervisor also declined waiving the late fee. Most of the credit card companies would give a XXXX time pass for late fee since we are all humans and not computers and anyone can overlook the date of a payment. But American express I guess is in the business of profiting from late fee as well not matter what kind of customer you are. You can be great for 11 years and XXXX slight minor mistake of being late for a payment for 7 days and they do not work with you. That is why I want to submit this complaint so people can see how American express treats its customers

My credit report still has XXXX as my loan servicer and a the wrong balance on there. I've called the credit bureau and they stated that XXXX XXXX has not reported anything. So I called XXXXXXXX XXXX  services and they told me it would be 30 days, however it's been longer than that now and nothing still has changed. My balance reported say over {$15000.00} but I only owe a little over {$11000.00}. I'm trying to clean up my credit report and this is not helping.

I got an installment loan from XXXX loans in XXXX XXXX. I began making payments to the company, but, after my husband was hospitalized, I had a income declination and was unable to fulfill my debt. I emailed the company in XXXX or XXXX asking them to offer me a settlement amount. I went to my bank to get the matter resolved. I received no contact from the company. However, in XXXX XXXX, I received a call at work from a company called the XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) stating that they had the account. I asked him to NEVER call me at work again. We set up arrangements on the account and I told them that I could send the payment via money order, but, he insisted that I give him a debit/credit card number. After tirelessly arguing with him about not having a card, I discovered that I did have an old debit card from school. I told him that I would have to go to the school to load the card ... I was unable to do so because the school was on XXXX break. I informed him of that. A day later, he found a cousin-in-law via Internet and called him regarding my debt. Then, on XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, he located my mother-in-law and did the same thing, He held a conversation with her and left a message on her cell phone on another occasion. I have never listed either of the XXXX people contacted on any application that I completed. I am not sure where they got each cell phone number from, but, the XXXX XXXX XXXX has found a way and they have been constantly calling and harassing my mother-in-law. I am wondering if there is something that can be done about this matter. The company has all of my contact information, there is no excuse. Also, the day that XXXX XXXX called me at work, I called him from my daughter 's cell phone when I got off from work. He asked me if it were ok for him to call me at that number ( must have shown up on caller-id ), I told him NO! I said this is my daughter 's phone. Nevertheless, he called a few times and left a message on her phone on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX.

I have an Amazon.com Credit Card from Synchrony Bank. My payment was due by the XXXX of the month and I paid my bill online on the XXXX. As of today XXXX/XXXX/2015, I noticed my payment has not been posted yet and noticed that a Late Fee was charged to my account on the XXXX after I made the online payment yesterday. I called Synchrony Bank and asked WHY they are charging Late Fees on the exact same date as the due date and they said it 's just their company policy to do so and it should take up to XXXX hrs to process my payment and at that time, they can remove any late fees that were applied. I told them it 's not right to charge Late Fees on the exact same date as the Due Date and those fees should never be charged on the same date, but proper accounting practices should reflect late fees the day after the due date if payment is not received. I asked to speak to a supervisor who told me the same thing ... ( It 's their Policy ) and could not explain WHY they charge these fees on the same date as the due date. This is just a Class Action Law Suite waiting to happen. This is a Very Bad Policy and needs to be changed immediately. This can effect Finance Charges on these revolving consumer accounts and overcharge their customers in interest fees. Back Dating transaction and adding/removing fees is improper accounting and collection practices.

Furthermore, after receiving a breakdown from Seneca- it is clear that I do not understand who they were paying our money to in the disbursements.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (WA)

I took a home improvement card from Wells Fargo Financial National Bank for a home improvement. They offered a 48 month no interest loan. I made an initial payment to even out the amount I would have to pay then set up auto pay from my checking to pay half of the due amount every two weeks. In short, there is no possible way that I have missed or have been late with a payment. When I got my last statement, Wells Fargo has charged me a {$25.00} late fee. The fee was generated because they have cutoff dates when they apply money to the bill and because they applied part of the XXXX payment in XXXX, they have justified billing me a late fee. I called Wells Fargo and asked them to remove the late fee because there is no possible way that I was late with a payment. The agent said, " As a XXXX time courtesy, I can reverse the charge but you will be responsible for future late fees. '' They imposed the late fees through their own action and not because I was late. I have since had to re-structure my payment plan to pay the entire amount once per month so they can not continue to manipulate the pay date to unfairly charge bogus late fees. It is not a courtesy to give me back money that they had no right to take in the first place.

In XX/XX/XXXX I entered into a Coaching contract for Real Estate. The contract was a 12 month contract, however, there is a part in the contract that reads, if after the first 6 months, you may cancel your contract by phone call or email. So I emailed and said I wanted to cancel. ( Due to money and going in for XXXX I would be off work for 6 months ) I received a response saying I was denied. I sent another email saying I 'm sorry I am canceling the automatic withdraw. I contacted Chase, I believe XX/XX/XXXX also and explained the situation. At first they did n't let the money go. The next month they started allowing it again. I continued calling. Finally started disputed by mail. They allowed the company to continue to withdraw for 6 months, plus an additional month. They said the company sent them a copy of the contract. However, the company did not include the part that read you could cancel after 6 months. I sent that to chase. I had to send it XXXX times because they kept telling me they never received it. I have been disputing this for over a year. Letters after letters, phone calls after phone calls. They keep saying they will investigate, then send me a letter saying their sorry but they disagree with the dispute. I call to speak to someone about the matter and they tell me someone will get back to me within 7 days. No one, in a year has ever gotten back to me ... until this last time i called. She was very rude, said I sorry you are denied the dispute the investigation is over. Not only am I still paying on that money, I am paying interest. I appreciate your help.

I have been a victim of identity theft and tried correcting my information with the credit bureaus. They told me to get a notarized affidavit, send them my driver license and social card ; which I did. I have been dealing with them for the last year and it gets so frustrating how I get denied for everything I apply for even though I am a very responsible person. As a matter of fact, I have kept all of my correspondence with them as proof that I have sent everything that they asked from me. I called several times as well. I have had notarized my affidavits and police report twice already but up to now, the accounts are still on my report which is barring me from having a decent credit score.

I purchased kitchen appliances at Sears in XXXX 2014 the sales person talked me into applying for a Sears MasterCard to get an extra 5 % discount on my purchase. They also offered 0 % interest on the credit card for all purchases in the first 6 months. When I received the XXXX statement they added an interest charge of {$760.00} for the previous purchases. I called customer service and spoke with XXXX who said I needed to pay the balance before the 6 months period ended and that 's why the amount was added. This is not the way the sales person explained this to me. Making a major purchase is overwhelming and I was taken advantage of by the sales person. She never mentioned that I would incur this charge if not paid within 6 months. The total purchase was near {$8000.00} and current bal is {$2000.00}.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (FL)

Hello, I applied for and received a secured Bank of America Visa in XXXX, 2014. 
That month, I was charged an annual maintenance fee of {$39.00}. I had no idea that the annual maintenance fee would be charged the same month as the opening of my account. 
I did n't charge anything on this card for several months so there was no need for me to check my balance. 
I had no idea that the annual fee had been charged to my account and as a result, since I was n't using the card, I did n't make any payments. 
In XXXX, I realized that my account was in default due to the annual payment charge and I immediately paid the entire amount. Now, all XXXX credit bureaus are showing a past due entry of XXXX days. 

I have attached a copy of my credit card agreement from Bank of America which outlines the stipulations that I had to agree to in order to obtain the card. The {$39.00} annual maintenance fee is mentioned, However there is NO mention at all of the date when the annual fee is supposed to be charged. Nothing at all. 

If there are consumers such as myself who receive a card and do not make charges, it is only logical that they would assume that there are no payments due on their card. The agreement says absolutely nothing about when to expect the annual fee to be charged. It should at least say that the charge will appear " X '' days after the card is approved in order to give the consumer a head 's up. 
I would like the " Late Payment '' remark removed from all XXXX credit reporting bureaus. The date that the charge was going to be made should have clearly been included in the Bank of America credit agreement. 

Thank you very much for your time, XXXX XXXX
