Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (VA)

My wife and I purchased a condo from XXXX XXXX in XXXX in XXXX of XXXX. Representations were made about the future development in the area that were false. They also steered us as first-time homebuyers to use XXXX Mortgage, their mortgage arm. They set us up with a 1st mortgage at 67 % of sale price, a home equity loan at 28 % of sale price, and a 5 % downpayment. There was also a XXXX buydown program on the 1st mortgage if we used XXXX Mortgage. At that time, we never should have been qualified or presented with this unusual arrangement. In XXXX XXXX, my family had to relocate for work XXXX, leaving our condo in XXXX XXXX for rental with great hesitation. We refinanced the 1st mortgage with Chase XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX under the XXXX program, but have not been able to get any additional assistance in the past 3 years from Chase or XXXX, which has created long-term stress for my family and an inability to settle permanently XXXX. Our property is approximately {$85000.00} underwater and about {$130000.00} below original sales price. The qualifications required for assistance are extremely unfair to families that are current on payments and due to work ethic have continued to do well in their careers, making income qualification ratios unfavorable for assistance. Our issue is first and foremost with XXXX mortgage, which is now defunct, followed by both Chase and XXXX XXXX XXXX for very opaque processes for assistance. We believe the refinance in XXXX was done improperly and presented as part of the XXXX program, when it may have been just a standard refinance, trying to relieve Chase of any future liability with the original XXXX mortgage.

Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: FAIR COLLECTIONS & OUTSOURCING, INC. (GA)

Used multiple, aggressive forms of communication. I have unsuccessfully tried to resolve the debt of a monthly payment of 5 % of the total debt and pay the full debt, rather than a lesser settlement. They stated they would either only accept 10 % of the total debt as a monthly payment, or half of the total debt in full. When I did not agree and questioned options, they stated they would rather keep my account in collections on their terms rather than accepting any form of payment from me. Not only unprofessional communication, but rude and aggressive threats of retaliation.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC (MI)

My mortgage is currently owned by Green Tree LLC. Today ( XXXX XXXX ) I received a statement notifying me of an increase in my monthly payment to cover hazard insurance because they claim I do not have insurance coverage on the property. That is not true. 
On XXXX XXXX my insurance company faxed my insurance policy showing them as the loss payee to the toll free number listed in their dunning notice. On XXXX XXXX I called Green Tree and was told the fax was received and that my insurance information was on file with an expiration date of 2016, which was correct. 
I updated the loss payee information on my insurance when I renewed it in XXXX this year, but I used the Green Tree address on my mortgage statement because I did not realize I should have used a different XXXX. 
When I received the first dunning notice from Green Tree in XXXX I was so upset that I did not read it carefully. I faxed them a copy of my insurance policy myself, not realizing I should not have done that, nor that I had used the wrong address for Green Tree. 
When I received the second dunning notice from Green Tree on XXXX XXXX, I realized my mistakes and immediately called my insurance company to correct the loss payee information. While I was on the phone with my insurance company, they faxed the updated information to Green Tree, as stated above. 
I do not understand why Green Tree sent me a hazard insurance policy dated XXXX XXXX and a statement dated XXXX XXXX when they had confirmation of my insurance on XXXX XXXX. My handling of this situation was inept, but my insurance policy never lapsed and the hazard insurance they are charging me for is not required.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (TX)

My mortgage was past due. I contacted Bank of America to obtain a letter showing the cost to reinstate my loan. The reinstatement letter was created on XXXX/XXXX/2015, and was good through XXXX/XXXX/2015. We obtained a cashier 's check for the amount due of $ XXXX to reinstate our loan. This included the attorneys fees, property inspection fees etc. On XXXX/XXXX/2015, we received a letter stating our payment was received and our next payment would be due on XXXX/XXXX/2015. Our XXXX XXXX, 2015 statement showed the amount due of $ XXXX which is our regular monthly payment. It still showed our home was in foreclosure even though we paid the amount required to bring it current. I addressed this concern with Bank of America and was told it was no longer in foreclosure, but they didnt have anything they could send me in writing to confirm this. We paid our XXXX payment, and it was posted on XXXX/XXXX/2015. 
On XXXX XXXX, I receive our XXXX statement, and it includes Title Fees backdated to XXXX/XXXX/2015! These fees were not reflected on the reinstatement letter dated XXXX/XXXX/2015 nor were they reflected on our XXXX statement. They somehow magically appeared on XXXX XXXX, and were backdated to XXXX! I feel this tacking on of fees and then backdating them is fraudulent. If the fees were incurred on XXXX, they why were n't they listed on our reinstatement letter dated XXXX, or our XXXX statement? Who 's to say Bank of America will not add on extraneous fees on a whim and then backdate them in the future? 
I doubt I am the first borrower they have tried doing this to, but I hope to be the last.

Company: Residential Credit Solutions, Inc. (CA)

I am disputing all of the RCS Mortgage late payments on my XXXX credit report. 

This Mortgage loan was included in my Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy which was filed XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and completed successfully XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. The mortgage, initially with XXXX and than with RCS, was included in the bankruptcy. On the bankruptcy its value is {$47000.00}. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX there was an Order Granting Relief From XXXX XXXX. This let RCS get the collateral which is the property. In no way does the wording say that the creditor could collect money from the loan, it just gives them the house. 

Each of the RCS late payments are after our bankruptcy was successfully completed. So this loan did not even exist at the point of the late payments. So there is no way that we could have a late payment on a loan that was already eliminated through bankruptcy. 

Here is how our Bankruptcy Attorney explained the Stay to us : '' You filed chapter XXXX. You surrendered a home and allowed the creditor to foreclose. In order to do that the bankruptcy court has to lift the stay to allow the creditor to go after the property. The Order from the bankruptcy court does not say anything about allowing the creditor to seek money from you. ''

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (IL)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (GA)

This is my complaint I sent Bank of America : Why does it take so long for merchandise that I purchased using my debit card and pin # several weeks ago to clear or continues to pend, thereafter deducting funds from a new deposit? 

Based on my salary and infrequent pay periods I am the working poor and a college student, So I have to maintain meticulous records of all my transactions and after auditing my account it is unnecessarily below the amount I have calculated due to these pending transactions when the first several deposit ( s ) of funds were clearly available at the time my card was swiped. If this was n't true I would n't be able to make any purchases not even with " credit ''. 

In the end, with no fault of my own, I become the victim of overdraft chargers and/or insufficient fees shifting money from my savings account to clear transactions I assumed were cleared in good standing. 

I am scared to touch the same money I earn and deposit because I feel like I am doing business with a loan shark. 

Please help me to understand how BOA conducts business regarding my concern.

West asset mgmnt has been agressively calling and harassing me for a payment at late hours in the day even calling my work on the medical balance that was paid through insurance in first place. I was imbarrased by collection calls at my work and decided to pay this collection to make them go away. When I called I asked if they would remove this collection from my report if I paid it and I was assured by XXXX XXXX that if full payment was made they would send a deletion request to all XXXX bureaus and have this collection removed from my report. I paid in full for the collection which was fraudulent in first place with hopes that it will make them go away for good. However, it is now has been 10 months and this collection is still reporting on my credit report and I 'm still getting letters from the collection company. I attempted to contact them several times to request this to be deleted but they are stating that they are NOT reporting this to the bureaus and that I should call bureaus with my dispute, however when I called XXXX CRAs I was told that West asset verified and validated the accuracy of this collection thus bureaus would NOT remove it unless I had an official deletion letter from them, which they are not releasing to me stating that they do not do this on inactive accounts.. this has been very fraustraghting and I do n't know what else to do to get this off my credit report.

In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Company: Mid-Atlantic Consumer Services (CT)

I keep receiving phone calls from a debt collection agency Mid Atlantic. They are threatening me with a potential judgement regarding a debt from 2009. They claim it 's from XXXX XXXX but when I looked on my credit report there is no account mentioning XXXX XXXX. They also mentioned XXXX which I am assuming is another credit card company that possibly bought the account? Neither one is mentioned on my credit report. I paid multiple accounts off throughout the past XXXX years. Each time I paid via a website and received a confirmation letter either via email or mail. I also printed each receipt after making payment. This company says I can only pay over the phone with a credit/debit card or a prepaid card. I told them I do n't do that because XXXX, there is no mention of this account on my credit report and XXXX I only make payments via internet or through the mail with a money order. He said I would have to wait for the hearing. I 've been getting these phone calls non stop for several months. I feel it 's a scam and how do I truly know who I am paying. Why have n't they sent me paper work via United States mail? I 've lived at the same address for many years. Why has n't the original creditor contacted me? Why has n't a collection agency sent me a letter in the mail? I only want contact with this company via United States Mail. And I want proof that the debt is legit. I could 've paid it off with another agency and that agency never reported it.

Company: CASHCALL, INC. (VA)

I had originally contacted XXXX XXXX, which I had agreed to pay a loan at 135 % interest for XXXX years until it was paid back. They sold my loan to CashCall, and I still paid religiously from my checking account for over two years. I was paying nearly {$300.00} a month when I only borrowed {$2400.00} originally. I finally got sick of them taking money from my account and told my bank that they were no longer allowed to continue to receive payments, because the last XXXX times they caused my account to overdraw. Now they have been calling me daily from several different numbers almost every hour trying to get me to pay them. They even called my job and I spoke to one of their representatives and told them that I was no longer going to pay them because I had paid them every month over the last XXXX years and XXXX months, and feel that I have more than covered the amount that I originally borrowed and the interest. I had to tell them to never call my job again. According to my math I have paid them over $ 8k and honestly feel that I do not owe them anything more. I have even been receiving calls from a Private Number repeatedly that I refuse to answer because I think it may be them and I really have nothing more to say to them.

I was being called on my mobile number as early as XXXX after telling them numerous times to stop. I notified them verbally on at least XXXX occasions and the calls did not stop. They were making up to XXXX calls per day. I was told that it was an auto-dialer and they had no control over it. 
After I retained an attorney to sue them, they escalated their efforts to keep me current on my auto loan payments and continued to make phone calls even after the attorney notified them. If I fell behind at all, they notified me of default. I have always made the payments, but have regularly been 30-60 days behind. In XXXX of 2015 they initiated a repossession. I was able to make full payment at that time but have since been late making subsequent payments. After I retained the attorney and he notified them of the law suit, they stopped calling me but continued to send statements by mail. On XXXX morning, my car was repossessed. I am behind XXXX payments. I was not notified by certified mail as required by law. The tow operator trespassed onto my property and pushed my vehicle into the street and then towed it away. The local police were not notified and the tow operator made quite a scene banging on my door multiple times at XXXX and pushing my car into the street in a quiet residential area on a holiday. The practices overall of this company are shameful. I understand that I was late on my payments, but has ALWAYS been late on my payments. Why this would make XXXX XXXX 2015 any different is beyond me.
