Issue: False statements or representation — Impersonated an attorney or official
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (GA)

XXXX Bank XXXX is the substitutionary plaintiff in an ongoing foreclosure case in XXXX XXXX XXXX Court of XXXX XXXX, Florida, against me and my wife. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX from JPMC prepared a FRAUDULENT Assignment of Mortgage from HUD to XXXX Bank XXXX. XXXX XXXX signed as Power of Attorney for HUD. 

I contacted HUD, XXXX XXXX. and they informed me that since they are an insurance company, they PAID OFF Chase in XX/XX/XXXX and that Chase transferred the loan to XXXX. Yet, XXXX Bank XXXX is trying to foreclose on my property. They have no right to my property and I want to report this as a FEDERAL CRIME - impersonating as an attorney for HUD. Please address this matter IMMEDIATELY, as there may be a court hearing soon.

Company: PNC Bank N.A. (ID)

I called the bank who holds my second mortgage/home equity loan, before the payments were to go up from XXXX to XXXX per month. I called on XXXX XXXX, 2015 to modify my loan payment, which they say was to expire on XXXX XXXX. Today, it is XXXX XXXX and they still have not modified my loan. They are asking me to sign documents which they say are original loan papers. After four months of negotiations, and having never missed a payment, I have n't any modification. Why do they threaten me that if I do not sign these loan papers, that they will not give me a loan modification? They also threaten that if I do not sign quickly, I will have to begin applying for a loan modification all over again. I ask them why they threaten me with this every month since XXXX? They do not answer this. I am a victim of bank greed and I need your help. I am also wondering if I am victimized because I am an XXXX. I see that the courts ruled that National City ( my original lender ) was discriminatory to XXXX and XXXX. How about registered XXXX? My payment increased 255 %, and my paycheck did NOT increase that much, but my husband did lose his job and we had to begin all over again. The economic downturn was caused by the banks and I tire of them preying on me, and all Americans, regardless of their culture or race. One more point : PNC was only able to buy NatCity because the US treasury gave them the money. Taxpayers money. Our money. My money. So, should n't I own a piece of PNC? I would be happy to give myself a modification. I am a good tax-paying person, who has never missed a payment. I have been treading water for eight long years now. I do not want to lose my house. Please help me.

Company: PNC Bank N.A. (OH)

I'v been a happy customer of pnc bank for almost a year now but was very dissapointed when I signed up for a service to email me when my account was overdrawn and it did not do this service, resulting in several overdraft fee 's. I calmly called pnc and told them that I recived a email about me overdrafting after I was already charged. They do give you 24 hours to account for the negative transactions, but because I rely on these services that were offered to me I was unaware that I was in the negative. The man apologized and offered to rid the extra charges given to me. But he also told me that I needed to put money into my account to account for pending transactions on my card. I told him that would n't be a problem and that I was in a rush to work and that I would deposit the money into my account when I got off. He said I 'd be fine and asked if there were anything else he could help me with I told him no and to have a nice day. I got off work and put the {$40.00} into my account which was enough ro cover my negative account and my pending transactions around XXXX. The next day I was charged for the pending transactions and more overdraft fee 's. I did n't know what to do at this point, so I call pnc bank again and ask what was going on with my account and was told I did n't put my money into my account before XXXX. Now I understand there are rules which is not a problem with me but the fact that I was not specifically told that I needed my money in before XXXX. I tried to fix my problem by putting the money into my account. I called and talked to several people about it and they all told me they could n't do anything for me. I 'm just upset that there was an opportunity for the employee to tell me the deadline was XXXX and he did n't tell me. Thought the several calls I had made there were different information given to me by each on and nothing seemed clear to me. Pnc never put me in the right direction in order to fix my account and when I had asked them for help there was nothing they could do for me. I feel this was very poor service and the last two pnc worker 's were rude with me. I genuinely tried to fix my problem and was told I was wrong and nothing could be done for me. And because of the lack of training in this guy who miss informed me and told me I would 've been fine depositing after work, I was charged {$200.00} in overdraft fee 's. I would 've avoided this whole situation if I was given one piece of information. I almost missed my family reunion because of these charges to my account. Everyone I talked to seemed to not care at all and for that I will be leaving pnc.

I had a checking and savings account with M & T bank in XXXX. My account experienced some overdraft due to how M & T was posting ACH 's and due an unauthorized merchant charge in which an investigation was launched and M & T was sent correspondence that the charge was in fact not authorized by me. I have tried on multiple occasions to no avail to rectify this negative balance M & T says I owe to them of {$230.00} in overdraft fees. They have told me that there is nothing they can do I have to pay the money. I do n't owe this money no XXXX will help they will not allow me to speak to a manager. I need assistance in getting this account cleared. I received a refund check from M & T bank last year for another account due to a lawsuit so I do n't understand why they would issue me a refund but will not handle the issues with this account. Its very unsettling that no one at M & T will do anything to help me and they have acknowledged on several occasions that they received the correspondence from the merchant and that at the time the way my items were being posted was incorrect. Its just ridiculous how much the ball has been dropped on my account even at the branch I went to see a branch manager in XXXX XXXX, MD and she was going to work on this for me and never got back to me I called her for weeks.

access to my account, online and otherwise, was blocked as the bank issued a new debit card which was sent to my old address. Not hearing from me, the card was inactivated and consequently my access to my accounts was blocked. As requested by the bank I sent a notarised letter requesting a change of address. Tracking shows the bank received this letter on XX/XX/2016. Not receiving the card at my new address, I called the bank who claimed they did not get the notarised letter ( tracking confirms they did ). I sent another notarised letter which they received on XX/XX/XXXX Still I have not received the card to restore access to my accounts. I have called around 10 times and i keep getting all kinds of excuses -- basically, XXXX keeps sending it back to them. I asked them for tracking to verify what they claim -- they have never given me a single one, they claim that the numbers were erased. The address that they are supposed to send the debit card is EXACTLY THE SAME as I get my credit cards/letters from ( they are from the same bank ) and I have NEVER had a problem receiving them here. So why has the bank sent this debit card some 6 times and it never reaches its destination? Why are n't they giving me a tracking number? This situation has created serious problems. I have important purchases to make and I can neither get cash, write a check or use a ccredit card as they are all linked to my debit card! They received my letter with change of address on XX/XX/XXXX -- 3 months later I am still without a card and desperate!

The original debtor was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The bill was for cleaning costs and " damage '' to the appartment I rented, some of which I disputed with original debtor because some damage was caused by maintenance issues. These maintenance issues were pointed out during annual inspection, yet they were not addressed. They would not adjust my bill, so I refused to pay. They sent my bill to collections. There was no agreement with original debtor that I would have to pay interest or fees on move out costs, yet the collection agency has illegally added both, and is reporting such on my credit.

I have a basic checking account with M & T bank, I went to XXXX to pick up some things using my M & T debit card. My balance was XXXX dollars short unbeknownst to me at the time. Nonetheless, in stead of declining my transaction as it should have, it went through despite me explicitly refusing the overdraft feature for my account. I was then assessed {$38.00} for the overdraft fee and an additional {$38.00} for the account being deficient for 5 days. I 've noticed M & T does n't post monies to my account when making deposits on Friday prior to XXXX or XXXX. The entire weekend my deposits within these time frames sit idle and when Monday comes around they post outstanding items first as opposed to deposits to charge fees on accounts with pending deposits that have yet to post with outstanding check or debit card purchases. This has happened to me twice now. I 'm amending case # XXXX and requesting that all monies taken in the name of fees {$80.00} in this instance be returned immediately.

I had a Sears Card ( Citi Card ) that i never used that Sears charged a snowblower warranty charge to. I never got a bill from Citi Card but months later i got a " my account is delinquent '' call which i then informed Citi Card that i never activated the card and it was still sitting in the envelope and that Sears charged the wrong credit card. The Citi Card Manager and Customer rep were able to remove XXXX of the XXXX month late fees and i paid the entire bill off while on the phone with them and also closed/canceled the card since i never used it nor was i going to use it. This is XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX i got a call that i owed like {$14.00} or {$18.00} for additional fees on this account that i fully paid off and closed. The customer rep was able to remove {$10.00} or {$14.00} but had to put a request in for the remaining {$4.00}. He saw the account activity and said it was a problem with Citi 's system and that i t is not my fault that after closing the account the system was charging me additional fees.

I am a military member who is mandated to use the CitiBank Government Travel Card GTC. I received a tasking to XXXX from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX, with XXXX trips from XXXX to XXXX XXXX. 

Being on a XXXX, it is common practice to be placed on a " XXXX '' ( see attached policy letter ) for the GTC so that the servicemember can focus on accomplishing the mission and not about billing issues. Additionally, it is a mechanism by which the government was able to provide some relief to the cardholder to provide them adequate time to perform a XXXX mission and address billing discrepancies. Between the several vouchers I filed after the TDY trips, and between payments being applied and transactions posting, I had made what I thought was a payment for the entire balance, which would have brought my account to {$0.00}. 

Unfortunately that had n't been the case. I believe my being in XXXX, in one way or another, affected my ability to receive any notification that my account was past due. No emails were received, no mail was sent to my home address, and no phone calls were ever made to either me or my unit. It was not until late XXXX that I called CitiBank in order to ensure I was authorized charges in a foreign currency so that I could purchase my airfare to my home airport. Lo and behold my card was cancelled, I was assessed XXXX {$29.00} late fees ( in XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ). Additionally I was informed I was also assessed a {$80.00} " salary offset fee '' in order to have the original balance ( around {$150.00} ) and the assessed fees ( {$160.00} ), bringing the total to approximately {$170.00} ... or about 210 % of the original balance. 

I had contacted CitiBank to advise them of the situation. I informed them that I was XXXX and that I had never been notified, nor had my military chain of command been notified ( a mandatory procedure that either was n't done or was done incorrectly ) about a balance being due, the balance becoming delinquent, and subsequently the card being cancelled. Had I knew there was a balance I would have immediately paid it. Additionally, I advised them I should have been on mission critical status as to suspend payments/delinquency for much of my XXXX and had I been placed on that status I would not have been delinquent. 

CitiBank was unwilling to work with me to correct the issue. I feel they took advantage of a servicemember and did not make a good faith attempt to resolve the breakdown in communication. The GTC program, in my opinion, puts an undue burden of accounting on the servicemember when he or she should really be focused on accomplishing the mission.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC (OR)

We have owned our home for 14 years. We did a refinance a few years ago that promised to pay off our mortgage in a shorter time. The interest rate was 7.65 %. In the mean time the economy tanked in XXXX Oregon where we live and times were difficult. We did get a loan modification but we have tried to refinance to get a lower interest rate. Our mortgage was recently sold to DiTech and we applied for a mortgage to refinance at a rate of about 4 %. They denied us based upon our credit history. They apparently believe we can not make our payments even though our payment history on our mortgage has been spotless for over three years. This is very self-serving of them. We would have saved about {$300.00} per month but instead, because they denied our refinance to a lower rate, we must continue to pay them more. Is this fair? Legal?

My roof and siding were damaged in a hail storm in XX/XX/2016. We selected a contractor, recommended by the insurance company. We paid the contractor {$10000.00} from our own account to pay for materials to begin. We received an initial check from XXXX, then an additional check after estimates by the contractor, and a final check after the work had neared completion. The total of the checks was about {$28000.00}. All checks were made out to us and our mortgage company. We have endorsed all checks a sent them to the mortgage company, Ditech, along with copies of all insurance estimates, and contractor prices for roof, siding, and painting. Ditech sent an initial reimbursement back to me of {$10000.00}. Ditech hired a 3rd party inspector to confirm that work was completed, and we assumed that the remaining funds would be released. However, they have continued to hold all remaining funds stating that the IRS has rejected the contractor 's tax ID. They state that remaining checks must be made out to the homeowner and the contractor, and will not issue remaining funds until this matter is cleared. Our contractor has made numerous calls and faxes to send them the correct information. They are a long-time, reputable company, actually recommended by XXXX. We are extremely happy with the work. Our insurance agent says he has never heard of a mortgage company insisting that both the homeowner and contractor be named on the reimbursement check. We have paid the contractor a total of {$18000.00} out of about {$30000.00}, but do not have the remaining amount until it is released by our mortgage company.
