Product: Debt collection — Mortgage debt
Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Ditech Financial LLC (MI)

I received a letter/statement dated XX/XX/XXXX from a company called Ditech. It did not contain any alleged amount due, or on whose behalf they were collecting for. i called them on XX/XX/XXXX and talked to one of their agents. He said this was an old XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) debt that they were acting as a collection agent for. It was either a 2nd or 3rd mortgage. I told him that my house had been foreclosed on in XXXX. I received another letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, which I have attached, that is identical to the first one received. I received a settlement opportunity letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, stating that the amount I owed to them was {$37000.00}, but if I paid by XX/XX/XXXX, I could settle my account by paying half of that amount, which is {$18000.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a phone call from Ditech. I informed the agent that my house had been foreclosed on in XXXX, and that the Statute of Limitations in Michigan to collect on such a debt was 6 years. She indicated that Ditech or XXXX had received a payment from me in XX/XX/XXXX, which meant that the statute would still be valid until the middle of XXXX. I said that was impossible, because why would I have continued sending money on a house I no longer owned. She said that even if the statute had run out, I still owed the debt. I said that they no longer had a right to pursue collection after 6 years. I have enclosed 2 XXXX statements, dated XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. The first statement was the last one I could find in my records before I found the last and second statement. The last payment of {$510.00} was made to XXXX, check # XXXX, dated XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX. It was cashed by XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I have attached my carbon copy of the check, and my statement of account from XXXX. As you can see by the XXXX statement dated XX/XX/XXXX, the amount past due was {$4000.00}. Since my last payment was made XX/XX/XXXX, if you go forward 8 months to the XX/XX/XXXX statement, figuring a monthly amount due of {$510.00}, that would approximately equal the {$4000.00} that I would have been behind. I have no idea how or why Ditech says they got a payment from me in XX/XX/XXXX. Why were n't they pursuing what they say I owed years ago.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (DC)

Starting XXXX XXXX, 2017, I was called by XXXX XXXX XXXX telling me that I needed to pay a loan that I received from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They were calling my job because they said that was the only number they had for me. They also asked for my address because they did not have it. I provided them with both my home number and my cell number along with my address because I thought they were referring to something else. In speaking with them I have received conflicting information on how they received the loan. I was told that they bought it from XXXX XXXX who in turn bought it from the state of Louisiana. XXXX has sent me numerous letters telling me that I must talk to them or they were going to garnish my wages. They have also called me on a daily basis threatening me with wage garnishment if I do n't set up a payment arrangement. I researched the loan in question with both Navient and the Credit Bureaus ( through XXXX XXXX ). All sources I have researched have stated that I do not owe on this loan. My balance with Navient is {$0.00} and I have no negative hits on my credit report because of this loan.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: BSI Financial Holdings, Inc. (CA)

We have been trying to get our mortgage escrow account canceled since XX/XX/XXXX. Despite numerous calls and emails, BSI has repeatedly failed to respond to us. BSI 's poor communication and business practices have resulted in double payment of HO insurance and property taxes, resulting in funds missing from our escrow account. Because our escrow is now negative, they refuse to cancel it and continue to bill us each month to fund it. We call and get promises to escalate and get back to us, but nobody ever does. When we follow up, we find that nothing has been done and we're given more promises that aren't kept. We've followed every request they have made, provided all information they have asked for, and yet BSI has done nothing to resolve the situation or even call us back. The one time we got a call - after escalating to a BSI executive ourselves - we happened to miss it. Despite calling back 6 minutes later, the person didn't answer and never returned our call. Tried again the next morning. No pickup, and no callback. 

Bottom Line : BSI needs to return thousands of dollars to our escrow account, and cancel it per our original request. After 8 months, it's obscene that we can not get a resolution or even reasonable communication as repeatedly promised.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA)

My mother wrote a check to my account to pay my rent. I then purchased a cashiers check to make the payment. Days later after the check had been cashed, Bank of America then put a hold on my mother 's original check sending my account negative. The hold was set to be released in less than a week, but it never happened, and my mother never received her money back. After that I was blocked from viewing my balances for my credit and debit accounts and a hold was placed on all of my banking. When I called to find out what was going on, I was transferred multiple times and finally an incredibly rude customer service repoed told me that my accounts had all been closed. Specifically he acknowledged that there was nothing I could do and that they would be closed immediately. Just yesterday I was told that my accounts are all still open, my credit cards have been billed for late fees and I 'm completely astounded. When I called again just now, no one apologized to me or explained to me what was going on, they originally only let me know that my credit account was still open and then after being transferred and me doing some prying they let me know that my checking account was also still open. When I went to inquire further I was again told that they could n't do anything about it. So here I am, with no active cards or any way of viewing my accounts and balances, still being charged fees. This is truly insane and no matter who I 've spoken to in the company no one has told me what is actually going on.

Because this violation has occured with all 3 credit reporting agencies, you are liable for the sum of {$3000.00} plus and additional {$3000.00} because the account is reporting twice.
