Consumer complaint received 07/28/2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (GA).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: Home mortgage with Wells Fargo. Mo pmt is about {$650.00}. I pay {$350.00} every two weeks through auto deductions. Problem is that WF keeps the first {$350.00} and holds it until the second {$350.00} pmt is rec 'd and then they post a pmt to my acct. Should n't I get interest for two weeks worth of {$350.00}? -OR- Should n't I get credited immediately for each {$350.00} pmt they receive? WF just tells me it 's the way they do business. -OR_ Would it make more sense to pay {$700.00} every four weeks. The goal is to pay a bit more than I owe each month and to get in an extra payment every year.

Consumer complaint received 04-09-2017 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Ditech Financial LLC (TX).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Ref : Ditech Financial LLC - Acct XXXX We received billing statements ( Attached ) for XXXX supplemental taxes from The XXXX County Tax Assessor Collector and XXXX County Municipal Utility District in XXXX, 1st Time to Receive these Statements, for our property at XXXX, TX XXXX. After receiving these billing statements, we paid these supplemental taxes promptly. Unfortunately, Ditech Financial ( Ditech ), our mortgage company, also paid these supplemental taxes in XXXX without any communication or contact with us. Now there are overpayments on our accounts with these two taxing authorities. We do not have an escrow agreement or account with Ditech. All of our property tax payments, required insurance coverage/payments, and mortgage payments have been made on time since we purchased this property. 

After contacting Ditech on XXXX, we were informed that we would need to reimburse these overpayments to Ditech and they were forcing us to maintain an escrow account with Ditech. From our own research, we have determined that one of the overpayments to one of the taxing authorities will be reimbursed to us and therefore we reimbursed Ditech for one of its overpayments for these XXXX supplemental taxes. However, the other taxing authority has stated that Ditech will have to apply for a refund of its XXXX supplemental tax overpayment ( Attached Documentation ). We have submitted the refund payment we received to Ditech along with a letter, attached, explaining the payment and the need for Ditech to apply for the refund of Ditech 's overpayment. In addition, we have explained in the letter that all property tax payments and insurance coverage/payments will be maintained by us with no escrow account. 

Ditech is forcing us to pay for an unauthorized overpayment they made to a taxing authority and forcing us to pay into an escrow account that we have not agreed. Can you help us stop Ditech from forcing us to make these unauthorized tax and escrow payments?

Consumer complaint received 09/29/2016 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (WI).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint: I noticed a problem with my loan in XXXX XXXX but did not think of anything until XXXX XXXX when I was unable to make changes to my account. I was told that I was not on the account and that they could not help me. I have had these loans since XXXX and did not understand how this was happening. I called and got to an executive who explained to me that my social security number, name, occupation and address were for someone else and that I nothing to do with the account. This did not happen until the end of XXXX. I was told that I needed to drive to an office and verify my identity, which happened twice. I was told that they would not report my missed payments until they figured this out and that all the late payments I had received would be taken off up to XXXX XXXX. I talked with this person until XXXX, when nothing had been figured out or fixed, I contacted XXXX lawyers who did not help me and I made a police report about identity theft per lawyer advice. I was told that they would not report to the credit bureaus about the late payments because it was there fault.The company was constantly calling my mother, co-signer, and telling her to make payments or they were going to put it to collections. I called the company back last week to see if anything had been done to fix the situation and was informed that the other name was taken off my account. I talked with another executive who told me that he would try to get my loans out of collection, reverse the late payments, fix my rating with the credit bureaus and get me a letter explaining how and why the guys name was on the account. He called me back to inform me that they could not do any of that and that no matter what, I was liable for the debt. They have totally ruined my credit and my mother 's and made me have such bad migraines that I needed medication. They have lied to my mother and I and have not been helpful in trying to fix the situation. I tried to work with them and give them time to fix the problems but I am not getting anywhere. I just want to get this problem situated and get back on track with the loan or get it completely taken care of. I do not think this company cares about what they do or how it affects people.

Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't get flexible payment options

Complaint: I have asked numerous times for help from Sallie Mae and continuously they have done nothing but offer forbearance I finally caught back up and again ended up falling behind. Today I received a call from their corprate bank asking to help resolve the issue. After several times of being cut off from speak the lady only repeated that they have given me the loan and now I need to pay them back. When I ask for options and help she instead of offering help from the company told me to ask my friends and family for money and told me to try filing for wellfare and food stamps.

Consumer complaint received 08/16/2016 about Credit card () with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (VA).
Issue: Customer service / Customer relations

Complaint: I have tried on numerous occasions to negotiate a hardship payment request with the company. They refuse to negotiate or grant hardship until I am delinquent at least two payments. I have not missed a payment in ten years and have paid late once within the last year. This late payment was in two days of the due date. The only option Bank of America gave was to ask for my XXXX interest rate to be lowered. When I requested ton have my interest rate lowered 3 different times they refused to lower the rate only stating that the interest rate at this time is correct for this type of account. I should not be made to go delinquent to negotiate a hardship. I am trying to remain current on my payments just not in this amount. At this point with the interest rate as high as they have it after paying {$300.00} as a minimum payment only {$35.00} was counted towards the principal. The rest went to interest. They also counted my purchases after the payment was made thus increasing the balance after I made my payment. I also feel this is predatory because XXXX of my other credit cards are giving me a lower interest rate. I am starting to wonder if they are charging me more based on my race and not my credit score.

Since the bank has been unable to provide a signed contract or any other legal documentation verifying its validity I would like this account removed at once ... and all records of the account removed from my credit reports with XXXX & XXXX.
