Consumer complaint received 02-03-2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with HEARTLAND PAYMENT SYSTEMS INC (MA).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint: ECSI Heartland ( which just acquired XXXX ) charges a " convenience fee '' of {$.00} for each autodraft payment -- effectively forcing the individual to pay in order to pay their loan. They claim this is for " website maintenance '' for a website which they have said they will no longer update ( this is for the XXXX site ) and that the convenience fee will continued to be used once XXXX borrowers are rolled over to the ECSI Heartland website ( which they wo n't give a timeline for ). This is just another example of student loan servicers profiting off of student loan borrowers after winning lucrative contracts with the federal government. There are plenty of other servicers that do not charge for this. When I asked if I could lodge a complaint, I was told they do not take complaints. Additionally, their website is currently stuck in the XX/XX/1990 and borrowers are n't able to update much on the website without calling or mailing in information to the servicer. When setting up Auotdraft for example, it took a month and half to set up and I never received the correspondence that my autodraft would not be in effect for my next payment ( although I filed it well before their deadlines ). Supposedly this information was mailed to me, but I 'm signed up for XXXX -- also a " service '' that ECSI / XXXX does n't seem to keep updated as none of the correspondence I get is ever electronic.

Consumer complaint received 02/15/2016 about Mortgage (Other mortgage) with Seterus, Inc. (CA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I received a letter from XXXX Mortgage that my loan # XXXX had been sold to Seterus and as of XXXX XXXX, 2016 that all payments would need to be sent to them. So, thinking that I could pay by phone on the first, I found Seterus 's number and called them, going through their prompt system. A recording stated that I would need to receive a welcome letter before being able to make a payment, and between the XXXX and XXXX of the month I would be able to set up my online profile and make payments. By the XXXX I had still not received a welcome letter and started calling Seterus on a regular basis to inquire about my account. I kept being told that they were still waiting to revive my information from the previous lender, but not to worry because my account would definitely be set up by the XXXX, but to keep calling to check in because once my account was set up, it would be reflected in their system even before receiving a welcome letter. The last time I was able to speak to someone was on Friday XXXX XXXX. At that time they still did not have my account set up. I asked if they were open during the weekend so I could call back and check my account status and the woman said yes " we are open on Saturdays ''. So I called back the following morning going through the usual prompt system in order to speak to someone, only to come to an automated message saying that they are " experiencing technical difficulties '' and could not take my call, then hangs up. I try again, same thing. So I hold off from calling on Sunday the XXXX since I was informed they are only open on Saturdays. I begin calling again today, which is XXXX XXXX because I have still not received my welcome letter as promised!! However today it 's the same thing, " technical difficulties '' during sometimes when I call, AND other times it 's an automated message saying " we are still receiving information on your loan an can not speak to you about any account details at this time ''. I have called a total of 8 times today because it is the XXXX and I just want to pay my mortgage ON TIME! However they will not allow me to make any payments until they have established my account number. Please help as I do not want them foreclosing on me due to their dishonesty and oversights as they have done to so many others. I will contact a real estate attorney and pursue legal action if they do not handle my account with honesty and integrity and keep me from paying my mortgage on time.

Consumer complaint received 01/26/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with NELNET, INC. (WA).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint: My loans were transferred from XXXX to Nelnet some years back. During the time of transfer, I had automated payment scheduled for XXXX XXXX and used to make payments to XXXX XXXX through auto pay. My interest rate was fixed at 1.25 %. Upon three months of the transfer, Nelnet stopped drawing the funds through auto pay, and claimed I missed two payments. Since I missed those two payments, they doubled my interest rates to 2.5 % along with adding late fees. When I called and complained they stated I needed to fill out a form and authorize Nelnet to draw funds from my account. I was completely unaware of all of this. My complaints on this issue were not considered and my interest rates have remained doubled then what they should be. I did n't know where to go to complain until I heard about the BCFB lawsuit against XXXX. Please help resolve this issue.

Consumer complaint received 09/23/2015 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (OR).
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint: Hello, Yesterday, the IRS put a levy against my bank account. Bank of America decided to levy my entire amount then to charge me {$100.00} for admin fees -- - thus actually overdrafting an account that minutes earlier had over {$6000.00}. They then, of course, charged me an overdraft fee. 
I immediately called the IRS. We agreed that they could have {$1000.00} and they would release the rest right then. They said it could be instant or take 24 hours. Today, my account is still negative and another overdraft fee. I called the B of A legal department. They claimed they received the order to release this morning, and the funds should be available by tomorrow. I am guessing they will tack another overdraft fee on my account. 
I do n't understand why B of A levied a greater amount than I had in my account. They should have pulled their admin fee out first, of course. They purposely made my account negative. I got the levy released immediately. This is clearly just a mistake. I have been with the bank since I was XXXX ( XXXX now ). I do n't think I should be punished because B of A themselves overdrafted my account. I do n't think I should keep receiving overdraft fees because I am waiting for them to take the hold off of my account that they placed. 

Thank Bank of America.

Consumer complaint received 03/28/2018 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation (AZ).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Fairway Independent Mortgage Company to inform them that we were filing bankruptcy and that we were going to do a reaffirmation of mortgage with them. We never missed a payment with them and were current with our mortgage payments. On XX/XX/XXXX, the reaffirmation was docketed with the courts. We paid the lawyer, paid the courts and then got a bill from Fairway aka XXXX  for our XX/XX/XXXX. bill that we owed {$120.00} for their legal fees. I inquired about this several times, but not one person would speak to me about this. They referred me to their attorneys who also would not speak to me. Paid the {$120.00} on XX/XX/XXXX -- then saw another {$120.00} added to our billing statement for XX/XX/XXXX. I called and they said we owed {$140.00} now, They could not account for the extra {$15.00} or now another {$120.00}. We were NEVER billed for anything but the original {$120.00}. I spoke to a supervisor today who informed me that we were billed for more legal fees in XX/XX/XXXX. I asked her if this was going to happen every month and she did not know. I asked her why we got no billing statement about the extra {$140.00} and she did not know. I filed a dispute with their company, but I am sure nothing will happen with that. I feel completely discriminated against by Fairway because we filed bk and because we got the reaffirmation agreement. I want to know why we are being gouged for more money when we paid the {$120.00} that we were billed for. How can they continually add on more fees without telling us what they are for?

copy of email from Fairway : Recently you requested personal assistance from our on-line support center. Below is a summary of your request and our response. If this issue is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may reopen it within the next days. Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.
