Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (GA)

I made a mortgage payment on XXXX XXXX, 2015 in the amount of XXXX. I paid on the XXXX primarily because I was in the process of closing on a refinance and the loan officer did not want me to past the XXXX days. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I was notified that I failed to make my mortgage payment and was now XXXX days past due. I spoke with a supervisor by the name of XXXX and explained that made a payment, but was told that my payment was XXXX short due to an escrow shortage that they applied to my account effective XXXX XXXX. 2015, so even though they cashed my check they did not apply it and would report my account XXXX days late. I explained that there were issues with escrow, that I had requested statements which I had not received but that most important, I was in the final process of refinancing my loan, WITH THEM, and was told both verbal and written that the escrow issues would no longer be an issue with the new loan and I start over. I was literally scheduled to close in XXXX days, only waiting for final payoff. XXXX XXXX took my payment for XXXX and said she would forward request for credit adjustment. Btw I had received only XXXX notice re escrow, called and asked for previous years escrow accounting because mistakes had been made XXXX made XXXX payments for homeowners ) but never received it. Bottom line, there should never be a reason a person is reported XXXX days late on a mortgage payment for a XXXX escrow shortage. Money that sits in an account and in an amount so insignificant. I will rethink refinancing with this lender but in the meantime, I need my escrow account audited and my XXXX day late to be corrected. At a minimum I have not been adequately informed.

Company: Avant Credit Corporation (CT)

I applied for and was approved for a loan with Avant Credit, issued by XXXX on or around XX/XX/XXXX. At time of application/loan approval, terms were not disclosed such as interest rate, which is a high 35.9 %. This was found out about after it appeared on Avant website, it did not previously show before. Ive been making payments on the loan and they do not begin to cover the principal due to high interest rate. My credit score was in the mid to high XXXX range at time of opening and my rate should be based on that score and not 35.9 %. A XXXX complaint ( XXXX ) complaint was filed, however, not resolved. Avant rep ( s ) claim terms were disclosed to me and were not. I just received the full terms via email after asking a rep for them, these were not sent to me before. I did speak with a XXXX XXXX and unfortunately, was unable to resolve the matter. My XXXX claims he has screen shots showing terms, rate, etc.. However, it is highly unlikely he knows what appeared on my end, on my computer, at time of application. Had I known about this high interest rate I would not have applied as I will be paying back more than double the loan amount after the term ends. Please note, do not mark this as duplicate as there is additional information enclosed.

Company: Financial Business and Consumer Solutions. (CA)

I was told that they would settle for a certain amount and every time they tried my bank would not approve the transaction or I could not get out of the house to reload my card, as I am a XXXX. I tried several times for them to take the money out but they kept saying that it was n't going through so they backed out of their agreement with paying {$280.00} to close out the debt. When I called them today they told me that I now owed the full amount because I did n't follow through with the agreement. I told them last Friday that I was waiting for my money to clear in the bank and then I would call them. First of all this debt is from University XXXX XXXX who charged me for classes that I did not even take and I told them several times that I was n't able to access the classes They should have fixed it and unenrolled me from the classes. I am supposed to pay for a service I never received and I do n't think that 's fair. University XXXX XXXX knows that they messed up by not having the classes I signed up for available to me. How can I owe money for a service that was never rendered? And then how can the debt collection agency go back on their word simply because I told them that they 'd have to wait until the money cleared in the bank? This is not fair all the way around,

Company: U.S. BANCORP (MN)

US Bank reorders transactions. I was expecting a bill payment to come out in the amount of XXXX dollars, and then I had a few other transactions in the pipeline. The transactions on Monday were in order the way they should have been. On Tuesday, the transactions were reordered from highest amount to lowest amount. Instead of getting XXXX overdraft fees, I got XXXX overdraft fees for all of the smallest amounts. There will be another overdraft fee pending even though my balance is positive which will bring it down in the negative again. And the worst part is I bet I will get a sustained overdraft fee to add to the pain. 

It 's impossible to budget and keep the balances straight when transactions are ordered incorrectly. When I have to pay a whole round of bills, I want things to hit the account in the order in which they were processed. No excuses about the merchant is waiting to collect funds.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (MI)

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I obtained a loan to purchase a XXXX from fifth third bank in the amount of {$200000.00}. The loan was secured by my residence and they obtained XXXX mortgage on the residence.. My loan is a labeled as a Commercial Term Note with Fixed interest rate of 8.440 %. My payment is {$1900.00}. The effective date of loan is XXXX. The maturity date of the loan is XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. My payment schedule is suppose to be Principal & interest due on the XXXX of each month beginning XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. There is also a 1 % prepayment premium to any prepayment check. 
I believed my loan would be paid off on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. A recent statement shows I still owe $ XXXX. I called Fifth Third Bank and explained there was an error. They informed me I have a balloon payment due. And XXXX months later, they are now calling me and telling me that they are beginning foreclosure proceedings against my residence as they claim I am in default for putting my mother on my house with me and furthermore they claim that since I filed bankruptcy back in XXXX and did n't file to renew the loan ... I am in default and being foreclosed. I have never missed a payment or been late. In addition, I have loan documents and it was NOT A BALLOON LOAN. NOWHERE DOES IT SAY IT IS A BALLON LOAN.. If there was a balloon I would suspect they would have included it somewhere on my documents. It is nowhere. But the prepayment penalty is clear. I believe that the bank has been deceptive and misleading. And they failed to disclose a material item like owing over $ XXXX. They are calling and asking what I am doing about it and asking where I am going to get the money. They told me they want the loan paid off now and that if I do n't inform them soon on where I am getting the money to pay them off, they will continue foreclose proceedings against my residence. This is unfair and deceptive.

I had a loan through Capital One Auto Finance and was having them withdraw payments through my bank account and than went onto a XXXX. When I got back from XXXX I had contacted the company and to set up my payments through an allotment and had it set for the amount taken out for the allotments to be able to pay off my car by the time I was getting out of the XXXX. When I had gotten out of the military I had called them again because my address had changed to get the title sent to my new location and they said that they had n't received a payment from me in about 18 months when I had original set up my allotment. I had talked to a manager later in the call and they had no record of me inputted into the records setting up an allotment for the payment. I got in contact with XXXX about this issue and nothing has been resolved about the matter and they keep asking for records of the allotment I had set up and stayed on the phone with them to make sure they received it in their email, the very next week they would ask for it again over and over again. Just feel like I am getting a run around from both XXXX and Capital One Auto Finance. I called the bank where the allotment was going to that they would n't give me the name on the account because I was n't authorized to get any information from that account.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (KY)

In regard to the EFTA ( Electronic Funds Transfer Act ) and EFT ( Electronic Funds Transfer ) : When I use a payroll advance, the repayment is in the form of an Electronic Funds Transfer. My direct deposit paycheck is immediately taken ( seized ) and applied to my outstanding payroll advance. As explained below, this is in direct violation of the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, Regulation E. My money is taken when I some amount of time to repay it. I could have 30 or 40 days left to pay my advance back to the bank. This often leaves my account at a {$0.00} balance. There are often overdraft fees associated with my account, when I technically have use of the payroll advanced funds for usually 30 to 40 days. I am left with no discretion as to paying back this advance. Fifth Third Bank knows they will get their repayment. This is not just a complaint for myself. This is for all Fifth Third Bank customers stuck in this payroll advance circle. If customers were allowed the entire 45 days, it would assist them in getting out of this situation. I believe these payroll advance products are predatory due to the facts I 've listed above and are not intended to help the customer, but trap them. 
A violation occurs when your are forced to sign away your legal rights provided by EFTA to obtain a payroll advance. A violation of the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, Regulation E occurs when the bank makes it a condition for an extension of credit that repayment will be by means of preauthorized EFT. This is disallowed except for credit extended under an overdraft credit plan or extended to maintain a specified minimum balance in the consumer 's account. See excerpt of the EFTA below. 
VI. Other RequirementsPreauthorized Transfers-Section 205.10Compulsory use. The financial institution may not make it a condition for an extension of credit that repayment will be by means of preauthorized EFT, except for credit extended under an overdraft credit plan or extended to maintain a specified minimum balance in the consumer 's account. ( Section 205.10 ( e ) ( 1 ) ). The financial institution may offer a reduced APR or other cost related incentive for an automatic payment feature as long as the creditor offers other loan programsfor the type of credit involved.

Fifth Third issued me a credit card account, unbeknownst to me until I saw my credit report today. The credit card account was opened in XX/XX/XXXX and closed in XX/XX/XXXX. This has resulted in damaging information on my credit reports. I called Fifth Third today to report this matter, and ask that the derogatory information be removed from my account and the Credit Reporting Agencies, but the response I got from XXXX different departments at Fifth Third was lackadaisical at best. I was told that I must have signed papers acknowledging the acceptance of the credit card account, which if true, was completely unknown to me at the time. At the time, all I had realized I was applying for was a credit score monitoring / improvement " program ''. Ironically, the report made to the XXXX Credit Reporting Agencies for accrued fees and interest for this unbeknownst credit card account is the single most damaging blot on my credit report! NOT a fan of Fifth Third and their business tactics.

Back on XXXX/XXXX/15 we received a full price offer on a home I am selling for my clients. The Buyers Agent submitted to her lender of choice, XXXX Mortgage of XXXX Texas, and we completed all steps to close the loan on XXXX/XXXX/2015. As, of today we have heard multiple lies and received multiple emails confirming the lies they have told both the Buyers Agent and I, XXXX. Today on XXXX/XXXX/2015 we heard the truth. XXXX Mortgage and her team have not submitted to USDA for approval nor received any reason this file would not be accepted. The XXXX team is very unproffessional and has done the same thing regarding another file last year. However, last year they stated the reason the file was not completed in time was because the processor committed suicide. I did end up closing that file three months later with XXXX. XXXX herself called me on this file I am speaking about and said this was a clean file and the actions last year are resolved and she has a whole new team and that I should not worry. Well two months later we are not closed and do not have a close date in sight. I want to make sure she is reprimanded fully.

In XXXX, I was mailed a credit card offer by Capital One stating that payment would not have to be made until XX/XX/XXXX. I applied and received the credit card. I called in XX/XX/XXXX to find out the exact date of when the credit card payment would be due before the 0 % interest expired. I was told by a customer service representative that I had until XX/XX/XXXX to make the payment. I called again on XX/XX/XXXX and was told that the 0 % interest off would expire on XX/XX/XXXX and that there was nothing they could do about the misinformation that I received. Now if the payment is n't made in full, I will be subjected to 22.9 % interest. I feel like this was a scam and I would have never signed up for this offer had I known this was the case.
