Product: Mortgage — Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: Fay Servicing, LLC (NJ)

I have owned my home for nearly 25 years and am facing a foreclosure sale due to a non responsive lender, Fay Servicing. I have tried repeatedly the last couple of years to resolve my mortgage delinquency with Fay, but my requests for help have been ignored, reviews have not been opened, they have sent people out to shake me down -- one time they actually had a company come and break into my home and shut off the power and disconnect the utilities!! They have done everything except what they are supposed to do, which is WORK WITH ME! I make a good living, I am a self employed entrepreneur and never had any issues making my payments until I had major problems due to XXXX. I was in and out of the hospital and literally missed a full year of work. On top of that the medical bills were devastating and I fell behind on all of my payments. 

I wanted to save my home and since I had a XXXX loan I believed that my lender would work with me. I began the process of review for a modification but before the review could be completed my loan was transferred to another company. I began the process again and submitted the necessary documentation for review and was starting to get traction when once again my loan was transferred to another company ( Fay Servicing ). This was beyond frustrating as the delinquent amount continued to grow. Fay Servicing told me they would not work with me and that I needed to pay the full past due amount to them or I was going into foreclosure. I am not in a position to reinstate the loan, but I do make a good living and I have been told there are multiple programs available for struggling homeowners through XXXX program, yet Fay Servicing has never ONCE reviewed me for any of these programs or given me the opportunity to be considered for help. Fay Servicing was also the recipient of {$70.00} XXXX dollars in bailout funds and I thought they were required to consider me for the government modification programs. I have tried multiple times to resolve this matter and work towards a solution, but feel that I have been obstructed at every turn. I am asking for the actual opportunity to be reviewed for all programs so that I can save my home.

Company: SLM CORPORATION (PA)

I am in debt with Sallie Mae and it is a delinquent loan because I have been ACTIVELY looking for work ( no results yet ), but I have an unpaid internship with a company that may hire me. However, Sallie Mae keeps calling on an HOURLY basis ALL week even Sundays after hours ( XXXX ) while I am at church with my family or working.They even had the nerve to ask for my internships number! The tone is demeaning and rude, I feel extremely harassed. Not only that, they have also called my parents at home and at work ( My mom gets calls on her company phone number at work and she is a hairdresser that gets paid by the hour ... so when they call she looses business ), my grandma in another state, and my fiance during classes! I want to pay my loan but until I get the loan re-structured or get a job I can not pay my loan.

Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: LD Holdings Group, LLC (CA)

We refinanced our home ; we paid the principal and interest for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ; we went into escrow in XXXX so did n't pay the XXXX mortgage payment ( closing escrow today ). The payoff information Loan Depot provided includes interest for XXXX, even though we already paid it. I am trying to get them to see that this is XXXX payment. The representative I talked to said we were paying the principal and interest in arrears, but that is incorrect : we always pay the principal in advance - industry-wide practice. Thus, they did n't bill us for the XXXX principal but just for the XXXX principal and interest AND XXXX interest. When I called two weeks ago the woman I spoke to agreed with me and promised a corrected closing information to the escrow company but it still included the XXXX interest. This is over {$500.00} and a burden to senior citizens so I want the money back. Can you help?

Company: Fay Servicing, LLC (CO)

Tried to contact my new mortgage servicing company ( Fay Servicing ) that purchased my loan from XXXX XXXX XXXX. Per their website XXXX I attempted to call them during normal business hours at XXXX at XXXX XXXX central time or XXXX XXXX local time ( mountain ) and the phone message says they are currently closed and gives normal business hours that also say they should currently be open. In addition the mail box for leaving a message so someone can call you back on the next business day is full so I can not even leave a message to have someone contact me. Being closed when you are supposed to be open to help customers makes it very difficult to do business and get help solving issues especially for a customer that just had their loan transferred from a large financial institution to one that has never been heard of.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (OH)

After XXXX job losses I hired XXXX XXXX XXXX to settle all of my CC debt. Synchrony Bank formally XXXX refuses to speak to any third party, so I got it set up with my debt co to allow me to settle the debt and they would send a check to them. I work during the week and the hours that Synchrony is open so having a few minutes free during a week day I decided to call them to get an settlement amount from Synchrony for XXXX to get them paid, now Synchrony is telling me I have to call back next month on XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX because that is the only days they will discuss a settlement, this is just a way for them to keep adding on fees, they are refusing to discuss a pay off therefore I feel they should n't even get one at this point because I 'm making an effort to do something about this when I hired someone else to take care of it and they are making a pay off very difficult to even get.

Synchrony Bank has XXXX of the worst phone IVR systems that forces you to speak instead of inputting number options. This causes extreme frustration to a consumer by the time they speak to a human. I will be doing everything in my power to never give Synchrony XXXX more penny of my money. After 15 minutes trying to navigate the system, you then can not even get account information for a card that I OWN and need a number for immediate payoff. There is a reason this company is at the bottom of the cesspool.

All this is doing is making an already stressful situation worse and keeping my phone tied up while I 'm trying to look for work.

Issue: Credit line increase/decrease — 
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (PA)

I am writing as a loyal Amazon Prime customer to voice my concern about the use of Synchrony Bank for Amazon Prime Store Card. I know I am one of many, many, many millions of Amazon Prime customers but I feel it is important to express my disappointment in Synchrony Bank and if it is a common compliant from Amazon Prime loyalists, maybe a change could take place in the future. 

I have struggled over the last years to get my financial life back on track and am now heading in the right direction. I recently paid off my Amazon Prime Store Card balance. Prior to totally paying it off I never missed an monthly automatic payment. After paying off the card, I wanted to take advantage of my Smile Amazon to buy some holiday gifts, give to my charity designation and use the Amazon Prime Store Card for the cash back option based on the amount you spend. It was at that point that I learned Synchrony Bank had dropped my credit limit from {$800.00} to {$100.00} ( TO DATE, I still have not received a letter about this and as of my XXXX statement I still had an {$800.00} limit ). 

I called to voice my confusion to Synchrony Bank and after finally getting through to an American based manager ( it took a bit as the XXXX based telephone consultant kept saying " I am so sorry for your concern '' but would not connect me to anyone ). The manager informed me that Synchrony Bank runs regular credit checks ( every six months ) and she went on to list my credit rating and why my poor credit history caused my credit limit to be dropped ( very condescending in tone ). I asked if I had ever missed a payment with Synchrony Bank Amazon Prime Store Card and now that my balance was {$XXXX}, why would the Bank do that? She informed me it had nothing to do with my good payment history with the Bank or my XXXX. I went on and checked my credit score tracker and because of Synchrony Bank dropping my credit limit, I went down XXXX points on my credit score due to a " decrease in available credit '' from Synchrony Bank. So as hard as I had been working to increase my score over the last six months, it was ruined in one moment and I have less available credit for my Amazon purchases for the holidays. 

Sorry for this long email but I had to express my frustration and wondering if this has happened to other Amazon Prime Store Card holders. I certainly understand if the Bank does n't extend more credit but dropping the credit limit seems unjustified.

Collection company reported debt to XXXX even though I have disputed the debt in writing to the company on three occasions. Further, I asked them not to call and they have called my home twice.

I told them that the information they have does not match information I have regarding the account. They did not ask to see this information, they simply went ahead and reported it to XXXX.

Company: SLM CORPORATION (PA)

Sallie Mae made 4 robocalls to both my home phone ( XXXX and my cell numbers in one day. I had previously asked that they did not call my cell number but I was fine with home calls. In a discussion with them tonight I felt harassed by four calls in one day especially since the person who took out the loan had made arrangements earlier in the day for payment. She had also contacted them before about payment and is in the process of having my name removed as a co-signer. The person I was talking to raised her voice and told me it was within guidelines to call that many times. I feel her talking angrily and unprofessionally to me was demeaning and unnecessary. I asked to talk to a supervisor. XXXX XXXX, the supervisor, again told me this was not harassment. I feel four calls after arrangements were made is four too many not to mention 2 of them were to a number I asked them not to call.

I was pointed towards XXXX XXXX by my Bank XXXX to get a credit card terminal for my small business. A representative from XXXX XXXX, named XXXX, got in contact with me and I asked her about all the costs and fees associated with the terminal, she told me there would only be a monthly payment of {$25.00} and two percentages that would be charged with each transaction ( one percentage is for tickets under {$500.00} while the other is for tickets over {$500.00} ). I asked repeatedly to make sure there was nothing else, now I get a bill saying monthly payments are higher than I was told and other charges that are undisclosed with no explanation anywhere on the bill for. I 'm also being told, after paperwork is done, that there is also mandatory insurance I must pay monthly on the terminal, I was not informed of this when I asked about the costs and fees. Not only that, but merchant services has now charged my bank account repeatedly in the XXXX week of XXXX resulting in overdraft fees that amount to {$160.00}. They charged me XXXX times on one day, XXXX XXXX, resulting in nearly {$100.00} in bank fees in just XXXX day. I was not informed when I was signing a contract, I was told it was just a paper confirming the information I had previously submitted about my bank account and business ID, and I was rushed through signing it over the phone. I was told I needed to sign the paper to get to the next step, the customer rep helping me was not honest and did not inform me of what the paper really was. After she had me sign it she hung up and I was left very confused. She also did not inform me that the lease term would be for XXXX months. She did not mention anything about a lease. I am very upset. They want to charge me over {$1000.00} to cancel the lease which was agreed to by manipulation by their customer service. This is not right, my small business was taken advantage of, I was taken advantage of. Please help me resolve this.
