Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (SC)

Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to seek your assistance in resolving a critical issue I am currently facing with TD Bank. On XX/XX/2020, my TD Bank account, which contained over {$18000.00}, was suddenly frozen without prior warning or explanation. This significant amount included approximately {$7000.00}, which had been in my account previously, and {$11000.00} from a XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) XXXX, for which I had signed a promissory note. 

The reason for my account being frozen, as explained to me by TD Bank, is that they allege to have made a mistake by depositing {$50000.00} as part of the XXXX Loan, which is what I agreed upon in the promissory note. Unfortunately, TD Bank has not provided any conclusive evidence of this alleged error, and my attempts to communicate with the bank have been met with silence, as they have not returned any of my calls or provided a clear explanation for the account freeze. 

The sudden freezing of my account has caused severe financial distress and hardship, as I am unable to access my own funds and carry out essential financial transactions, including paying bills, rent, and daily expenses. Moreover, We had to close the doors to a business that benefitted and made a huge impact on the community, and I am concerned about the adverse impact that this situation has on my credit history and financial well-being. 

I kindly request your intervention and assistance in resolving this matter promptly. I believe that an objective review of the circumstances surrounding the XXXX Loan disbursement, the promissory note, and the actions taken by TD Bank will help shed light on whether any mistake was made and whether the account freeze is justified. I am fully committed to cooperating with any investigation or review required to reach a fair and equitable resolution. 

I am grateful for your time and attention to this matter. Your support would be invaluable in helping me regain access to my funds and understanding the situation better. I kindly request that you investigate this issue and take any necessary actions to expedite its resolution. 

Thank you for your consideration. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

The company in question is : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Florida XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX My husband and I have been customers of XXXX since XXXX. We have had four separate accounts- two on our primary residence and two on a 2nd home. We sold the 2nd home the end of XX/XX/XXXX. Of the two XXXX accounts on that property, one was for the main house and the second for a guest unit. In early XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX to inform them of a pending sale and to close both accounts as of XX/XX/XXXX, a month after the escrow was to close. In the meantime ( just in case escrow did not close ), I paid the {$840.00} due for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for the alarm system in the main house ( see attached statement and proof of payment including the bank statement ). 

Escrow did close the end of XXXX and XXXX closed the two accounts as of XXXX XXXX. We were to receive a refund for the unused portion of {$840.00} which to this day we have not received. I contacted XXXX about this multiple times. Each time I was told that the accounts were closed. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a statement in the amount of {$910.00} for the closed main house account ( see attached ). I called and spoke with XXXX at XXXX. He confirmed that the account was closed on XX/XX/XXXX and that we did not owe anything to XXXX. He gave me the confirmation number XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notice from Source Receivables Management ( debt collector ) for {$79.00} ( see attached ). I called Source Receivables and asked why this was sent and I was told to call XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX and was told by XXXX XXXX XXXX that I did not owe anything and that I would get my refund within 7-10 days. He also said that I would receive a letter from XXXX. He sent me an email which is attached. I have not received an official letter.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Problem with the interest rate
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CA)

When purchasing my vehicle I made an agreement with the car dealership whom claimed they were in direct contact with Capital One Auto Finance about the interest rate rate of my auto loan to be 6 % and for no longer than 48 months. Once I started making my car payments I was being charged 12 % apr and a 72 month auto loan. I put {$6000.00} cash as a down-payment to keep my payments low and interest at a lower rate. Even with a 12 % apr with the amount financed I have paid more than I should have for the entire lemgth of the loan. I put {$6000.00} cash as a down payment. the amount of the loan should have been for less than {$10000.00} with my down-payment. The original loan amount shows much more than {$10000.00}. Where did my down-payment go if it was not put towards my loan as it should have been?? Capital One Auto Finance charges accessive interest rates and are not as what was agreed to at the start of the loan and is double the amount than what was agreed to when purchasing the vehicle from XXXX of XXXX. For what should have been a {$9000.00} loan with 6 % annual percentage interest rate and paying on my loan for 3 years now and it still shows I owe {$7000.00} to pay my car off and that I have paid {$7000.00} in interest already does not add up. Contacting Capital one auto finance is a joke as nobody resolves the problem. Somebody needs to audit Capital one auto finance because I am sure that I am not the only one that is being deceived by Capital one auto finance. This is a fraudulent act on Capital one auto finance and quite possibly even XXXX of XXXX. Capital one is being extremely deceptive in their practices by collecting more interest in payments from consumers than what they should be collecting. more than 50 % of every payment has gone to interest. even on 12 % interest ( although that is suppose to be 6 % as agreed to ) the amount of interest collected during an entire 72 month ( which is suppose to be 36 month ) loan term should be no more approximately {$3000.00} throughout the entire length of the loan. How is it I have paid double that in interest and the loan amount in total should have only been {$9000.00}??? This is fraudulent and wrong and Capital one auto finance is taking advantage of consumers with unfair practices and should be held accountable for their fraudulent actions to the full extend of the law.

Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (NJ)

I was a Sandy-impacted homeowner, and I was found to be eligible by the DCA for a term of forbearance under state law P.L.2017, c15 which provides for a temporary suspension of principal and interest payments on your mortgage. Exhibit M - NJ Statue From XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, I was under the forbearance program with my mortgage company, Nationstar/Mr.Cooper/RightPath Servicing. The outstanding balance of my mortgage at the beginning of the forbearance ( XX/XX/XXXX ) was {$84000.00}. As required per the NJ Statue, I resumed making my regular monthly loan payments of {$1300.00} once the forbearance period ended, XX/XX/XXXX. I have made a total of 13 payments of {$1300.00} and 1 payment of {$2800.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) a total of {$20000.00}.

Resolution Letter from Mr. Cooper dated XX/XX/XXXX - During the forbearance period Mr. Cooper ( mortgage co ) made deferred payments to my account to the sum of {$83000.00}. At the end of the forbearance period, they want this deferred amount to be paid in a lump sum or I would have to do a modification loan. Mr. Cooper/RightPath Servicing did not follow the Hurricane Sandy NJ Forbearance Statue. 

XXXX Filed complaint against Mr. Cooper with the State of Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance . 
XXXX The State of NJ Division of Banking and Insurance closed complaint against Mr. Cooper after receiving Mr. Coopers resolution letter dated XX/XX/XXXX. 

I do not believe that the NJ Department of Banking and Insurance should had closed the case as Mr. Cooper did not follow the Hurricane Sandy Forbearance NJ Statue. There should not have been any deferred payments, or any modification done to my loan while in forbearance.

All the explanation of what they did to my loan during the forbearance period for their accounting purposes and/or their investors should not have affected what I owe on my loan. The terms of my loan should not have change ; no deferred payments nor modifications should had been done while in forbearance.

All I want is to have my payments so far of {$20000.00} be applied to my outstanding loan balance of {$84000.00} and for the repayment period to be extended by the number of months the forbearance was in effect ( 5 years ) as per the NJ Statue.

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (NM)

Citizens Bank grossly miscalculated my required escrow balance for the past year which caused me to suffer severe financial distress. My mortgage payment increased by XXXX  XXXX because they stated that I had a shortage in my account. I called them to clarify last year and I was told that I had to pay taxes in arrears because my property had just been assessed by the tax assessor. When I looked at my escrow statement for this up coming year, Citizens Bank stated they owed me a {$11000.00} surplus for the overpayment of escrow. They grossly miscalculated the City tax I had to pay and have never provided me with my City real estate tax statement. They estimated that I had a shortage of over {$7000.00} and also would have to pay approximately XXXX  XXXX in City property tax in future years. Their error was because they failed to consider the XXXX tax abatement that I had due. When I applied for the loan, I asked the loan XXXX repeatedly to provide me with a realistic estimate of the property taxes and he constantly gave me the runaround and also said he was unsure if I would qualify for the XXXX. I also have concerns about the income tax implications from Citizen Bank 's error. 

Citizens Bank has caused me severe emotional distress during the loan application process and now from miscalculating the escrow. I had trouble all year keeping up with paying bills and incurred significant credit card debt because of the unnecessary financial burden that this bank placed upon me. They need to be held accountable!
