Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NY)

I am contacting the CFPB because I do not know where to turn. Wells Fargo just approved my request for modification under the FHA HAMP program. My income was calculated so much higher then it actually is and all I receive is basic pay stubs. I questioned the dates of pay stubs being used and Wells Fargo advised me they were dated from XXXX and XXXX. This does not make any sense as I have been submitting pay stubs from XXXX up to XX/XX/XXXX. The income calculated off my 5 and 6 month old stubs was {$10000.00}. If my recent 30 days of income was calculated, it would show my average closer to {$6600.00}. This difference would lower my trial payment ( which is higher then my original payment I could not afford ) by {$400.00} a month. This would help me even if I could save a {$100.00} a month rather than the payment increasing. 

I am appealing the calculations and income used in determining my approved FHA trial payment amount : My income with XXXX is much less than what is being calculated as we no longer get any overtime. It was announced companywide in XX/XX/XXXX no more overtime will be granted and or paid out to employees. 
I am paid weekly and please see my last XXXX consecutive pay amounts:XXXX. XXXX {$1700.00}. XXXX {$1600.00} = {$8200.00} divided by XXXX = {$1600.00} x 52 weeks = {$85000.00}. XXXX {$1700.00} divided by 12 months = {$7100.00}. XXXX {$1500.00}. XXXX {$1600.00} ( Unreimbursed Expenses - I am filing for unreimbursed expenses as per my accountant due to the nature of the job and what I pay out of pocket. In XX/XX/XXXX I filed {$5900.00} and in XX/XX/XXXX, I filed {$5700.00}. For XX/XX/XXXX, the amount should be the same as all my expenses are the same XXXX ( I previously misunderstood the question ) So to my understanding, unreimbursed employee expenses are backed out of the monthly income which for the XX/XX/XXXX year was {$5700.00} divided by 12 months = {$470.00} subtracted from {$7100.00} = {$6600.00} which is a tremendous difference from what was calculated in determining my modified payment of {$2400.00} as my payment was calculated at {$10000.00} as per the trial agreement dated XX/XX/XXXX. 
The FHA Hamp guidelines show the basis of the program is to get the new modified payment 31 % of my monthly gross income which if calculated off my recent income and not from XXXX, would make my payment closer to {$2000.00}.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (WV)

Attempting to make principle only payments to a HELOC acct on multiple occasions. I h ave tried both the website and the app to transfer funds from a checking acct to the Flexline acct. It is set up with an auto bill payer feature that makes an interest payment. If I schedule a principle only payment it takes a long time ( weeks ) to  post to the acct. while interest is accruing. If I call my local branch and have a rep do it, it posts that day or the next business day. I understand this may seem like a small amount but if theyre doing it with thousands of accts it would be significant. I have no idea if its illegal, but it absolutely seems unethical.

Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

I have a home equity loan with Wells Fargo. Loan was due and payable XX/XX/XXXX. I started talking with Wells XX/XX/XXXX knowing I could not pay it off in XXXX. After about six months of talking they said they would be able to set me up with a payment plan. I said ok great what 's next. Wells told me I needed to make three months of trial payments to see if I could " afford '' it. I complied with their request made all the payments on time. Fast forward now to XX/XX/XXXX the loan they presented to me and both parties agreed to is still not completed. Wells Fargo now has reported me as being late and ruined my credit. They also mistakenly added a escrow account to my first mortgage and caused my payment to go up {$300.00} per month. So through this whole process Wells has crippled my credit and made my first mortgage payment go up and I still do not have a payment plan in place. I just want to get this payment plan done and my credit restored. I have lived in this house for 27 years and have never missed a payment on the first or second. Also I keep getting late notices and foreclosure threats. I always call to ask about the letters they tell me just ignore them your loan is in process and you should not be getting the letters.

I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a XXXX  ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than XXXX  days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now. If they are not updated immediately, I will have no other option but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Issue: Taking out the loan or lease — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX)

I was approached by Wells Fargo to take out a Credit Card and I was approved for {$5000.00} but only wanted about {$1000.00}, they told me not to worry that in 90-180 days they would have debt repayment or consolidation low interest special, so I accepted the higher credit limit. When I saw an advertisement about the low interest loan program in about 90 days later, I applied and my credit could not have changed that much, but was turned down. So, now I have been forced to pay off a high interest credit card, where I transferred debt expenses to and was given false, misleading, and deceptive information about. This is wrong and not right.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

In early 2024, I discovered an entry on my credit report indicating a debt related to child support services. Surprised by this entry, as I had not been informed of any outstanding issues or debts by the Child Support Services of California, I immediately reached out to them for clarification. 

On XX/XX/2024, I contacted the Child Support Services of California to inquire if they had released any of my personal information to third parties, particularly to credit reporting agencies. The response from the agency, received on XX/XX/scrub>XX/XX/2024, was that they had not authorized the release of my personal information to any external entities. This raised serious concerns regarding the source and authorization of the data reported on my credit report. 

Following this, I reviewed my credit report details and noted that the entry regarding the child support debt was reported in XX/XX/scrub>XX/XX/2024, without any prior notification to me by the Child Support Services or the credit reporting agency. No specific amounts were disclosed in the initial report, and no prior communication had been made by the Child Support Services regarding any debt or the potential for reporting such information to credit bureaus. 

I took immediate action by filing a dispute with the credit reporting agency regarding the unauthorized entry on my credit report. As of the date of this complaint, I have not received a satisfactory resolution or explanation from either the Child Support Services of California or the credit reporting agency regarding the origin of this debt report, the authorization behind its reporting, or any steps being taken to rectify the unauthorized disclosure and reporting of my personal information. 

This situation has not only caused me unwarranted stress but has also potentially impacted my credit score and financial standing based on information that appears to have been reported without proper authorization or legal basis.
