Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX)

Multiple mistakes within escrow, now 2nd time to have to contribute to escrow in 4 years. The first time they refunded an overage, oops they refunded too much so they increased my mortgage payment. I paid that off and then the following year insurance issues mistakes occurred. I started to pay XXXX extra a month on my mortgage and they once again told me that my escrow would be short and I had to pay that into escrow. They canceled my homeowners insurance and paid my flood instead. They did this twice and then sent flood check to wrong office so more time past on insurance policy so I was stuck with getting less refund. My homeowners insurance went up XXXX bucks last year, about XXXX this year. Instead of letting me pay that total ... they do a projection and the projection shows in XXXX 2016 I will be negative. It doesnt matter that I have enough escrow now and would pay that before XXXX 2016 instead they want XXXX payments of escrow by XXXX XXXX, a bit over 30 days notice and if I dont I must pay XXXX more on my mortgage for a year. NO other payment plan accepted. My taxes didnt go up, they went down, only my insurance went up a bit and they wont let me pay that approx XXXX but want XXXX payments of escrow when Im not even in the negative yet!!! This bank has been consistently toying with my escrow. Just after this problem they send me in the mail a personal letter for a personal special to take out a loan. 
I have a direct line to the supervisor, Son ( his name ) and have talked with him on several occasions and he is very nice and polite and explained all this to me ... there is nothing I can do as this is their rules. 
I think they manipulate your finances for profit and that just isnt fair. I have my checking and savings with this bank, they see my finances and are constantly hounding me for business. 
I think this bank is walking a fine line of aggressive business versus appearance of criminal financial manipulation. 
How they can punish me with my escrow still in good standing, based on a projection that has not occurred yet is not right any way you look at it. I should have the opportunity to put just the amount in to avoid that projection and if not then they should add it to the mortgage but not at this point demand XXXX payments of escrow on a situation that has not occurred yet. 
Furthermore, the mistakes that has been made in my escrow in regards to refunding too much, then docking me for it, canceling my insurance and paying another kind, sending insurance payments to the wrong insurance office, all of which I as the customer discovered NOT Wells Fargo, is not acceptable and consideration should be given to what that has caused me in stress, trust and worry. 
I have checking, savings, car loan and mortgage with Wells Fargo and this is how they treat me?

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Messerli & Kramer P.A. (MN)

The law firm of Messerli & Kramer has, over the past 18 years, captured my money several times for a debt they allege, but has not proved, I created in XXXX. In XXXX, Messerli & Kramer law firm, acting on behalf of XXXX XXXX XXXX, apparently obtained a judgment against me, without providing me notice, for this account they alleged I opened in XXXX. This same year, the law firm acting on behalf of the debt collection agency then captured an account for this debt ; one of which, I shared with my parents. I was on the account due to them both being ill and unable to care for their financial affairs. I sought help in XXXX, from the Minnesota Attorney Generals office, which resulted in Messerli & Kramer/ XXXX XXXX XXXX returning the money to my parents account. Because of lack of knowledge on laws about debt collection, getting my parents money returned was the only action I took. 

For a second time, in XXXX, the law firm of Messerli & Kramer captured my bank account that was set up in my name. They took close to {$800.00} which were both my wages and school loan money ; at the time, the law firms actions put my family in dire financial hardship. As a result, my family had to find monies to get basic needs and other daily living items to continue to move forward. 

Again, I sought assistance from the MN Attorney General office. While I worked on providing Messerli & Kramer with proof of my familys financial situations, the MN AG office assisted me by writing a letter to the law firm on my behalf requesting information about the debt. The agencys response was not expected because they could not provide the original application ; nor, did the law firm provide any solid evidence that this debt belonged to me. 

I am tired of being frighten about the next time this big law firm decides it can capture my limited financial means. I can barely afford to take care of my family and I certainly can/do not want to continue to pay for a debt that is not mine.

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION (MD)

I opened an account at XXXX ( USAA ) around XX/XX/XXXX. Shortly thereafter, I became joint owner on my roommate, XXXX XXXX 's USAA account. In XX/XX/XXXX after I realized he had met financial difficulty, I asked that my name be removed as co-owner from his USAA accounts. I was able to do this through my own online account access. I completed the process and was successfully removed from XXXX XXXX 's account. I am attaching screen captures reflecting the completion of this process along with a confirmation from USAA indicating my request was complete. 

In the meantime, XXXX XXXX amassed obligations to USAA for an overdrawn account - the same account on which I was previously listed as an owner - and in the end, his financial obligations to USAA were discharged via Chapter XXXX of the United States Bankruptcy Code. However, even though I was successfully removed from XXXX XXXX 's account, USAA has blocked my own account access and services and has informed me that I am indebted to them in the same amount XXXX XXXX was indebted. 

Several months ago, I phoned USAA 's customer service, and without disclosing my name or account number ( I told the representative I had generic questions that were not account specific ), I inquired about the process to remove oneself from an account where he is the joint owner. Specifically, I asked if an account has a negative balance, is it possible to remove oneself from that account using USAA 's online services. The representative told me that it is not possible to complete such an action ; and that if attempted, the system would block it and return with a message requesting the member contact customer service for further details. 

I was removed from this account as co-owner BEFORE XXXX XXXX became indebted to USAA, yet USAA is continuing to hold me liable for this balance, and they are preventing me from accessing their full suite of services - services I would otherwise be eligible to access. Not only am I unable to view previous account data and records, I am unable to use the accounts I have housed with USAA. 

I was under the distinct impression that in taking action as soon as I discovered the joint-owner 's financial situation, I was protecting myself from liability and demonstrating that I did not contribute to this account mishandling.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Onity Group Inc. (WA)

We were shocked last week to have XX/XX/XXXX mortgage payment returned with letter saying we should contact them to receive the reinstatement amount.

After reading this I called them and they were closed. I then reactivated my online information to try to go see what is happening. Have n't received anything from Ocwen to know there was a problem.

Then could hardly breathe while screenshotting the account activity.

It shows that all payments were received and returned since XX/XX/XXXX, almost a year! This is the first time I received a returned payment. Where are the other 10 returned payments? Why did they get returned? Was insurance even paid? All this time I had no idea, why? We are sending them and where are they now??? 

The letter has my parents old address, was returned and Ocwen placed in a handwritten envelope. Then resent to my correct address which is the property address. * I used to have important mail sent to my parents address, my dad passed away 4 years ago, mom moved out and requested for mail to go to the property address again. 

On XX/XX/XXXX : -The bank said that they were n't cashed. We are able to cancel/reissue.

-The Post Office is looking into this but said highly unlikely that would happen that many times-they must not have really returned them AND the mail would have been returned to sender. 
-We checked with the homeowner of my parents old address-he has n't been receiving them. 

This is so scary, I feel scared and defeated by them once again. 
I 'm lost at how to figure this out. 
Nothing to my property address, no phone call-those things have n't changed. 
I 'm shocked that there is n't anyone coming to our house to collect?! For a year! 

Years back they told me that I needed to pay a huge amount because I fell behind. They inflated the amounts and I had to pay up because they said it was too late to do loan modification. Hindsight, they were probably being dishonest. We made the arrangements and paid to have everything good again. Now this. And during that period there were letters notifying us. 

I told my entire family, some started looking online and found your company sued them for exactly the things I have went thru in the past. In addition, massive amounts of homeowners in the same situation with this company. I am just in a state of fear. 

I feel like if I called them, they will say another insane amount to steal from us. I 'm shocked that there is even a record of consistently receiving payments and returning them. 

I am completely overwhelmed and fear the worst. Since your company has faced them, I 'm hoping to learn what I can do to save our house. How to resolve this. Seems like they hope that people are going to be too scared and they will get their homes. Cant imagine losing our home after 20 years- our dogs are buried here. We are getting the payments canceled and reissued but I just do n't trust these guys-please help.

Company: AmeriHome Mortgage Company, LLC (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX I notified Amerihome that I have paid my homeowners Ins renewal for the year. Amerihome notified me that the loan type requires my homeowners insurance be paid thru escrow and that they would return a check to me in the amount of {$980.00} for the annual payment that I made since they would be paying the renewal.

Over 7 calls, speaking with supervisors at Amerihome, only to be told a different answer each time when following up with the check. Supervisors have said it would be mailed out in 3 days, it would be overnighted, to no check was going to be issued. A supervisor is always scheduled to call and follow up per the request in 24 hours. I have not received 1 phone call. This is my first 2 months with this lending company and it has already been off to a horrible start. It is impossible to get any resolution. I am beyond frustrated after 7 attempts and no follow up from Amerihome as they said they would.
