Consumer complaint received 05/27/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with CITIBANK, N.A. (WA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Citibank is an entity in which XXXX XXXX claims was the Trustee of the securitized trust XXXX XXXX XXXX Trust, in which allegedly my loan is tied to a specific pool of said trust. Please have Citibank confirm their past involvement. Please have the person who answers put their name and position and contact information. The last complaint had no name attached to the alleged response from Citibank. I doubt it was answered by Citibank! I have never even had a letter come from Citibank. I guess I will serve my own documents Friday CERTIFIED under Respa and Tila. We will see what comes of that.

Consumer complaint received 03/21/2016 about Credit card () with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (SC).
Issue: Credit line increase/decrease

Complaint: After logging in online on XXXX/XXXX/2016 and previous being logged in online through my account on XXXX/XXXX/2016 I noticed that Amazon Credit Card ( Synchrony Bank ) had lowered my credit limit from {$600.00} to {$100.00}. Which is very funny seeing that I just had their card security make a payment to pay the prior balance of over {$700.00} as a debt cancellation just two days before and that posted on XX/XX/XXXX. Well on XX/XX/XXXX even though the statement generated on XX/XX/XXXX shows available of {$100.00}, it still showed I had an available credit limit of {$600.00} and - balance on my account. Well when I woke up on Sunday to make a purchase I noticed I only had a {$100.00} limit I immediately called them and spoke to a manager who informed me the reason that my account limit was lowered was because of the claim being filed and the account being paid off by card security. I asked her again how is that fair that something that is there to protect someone 's credit causes them to have negative effects on the credit when they use it. She then changed her story stating that the limit was lowered because after the payment a new credit report was pulled and that the decision was based on factors that were obtained from that report and that this is something that Synchrony randomly does but has never done in the time I have had the account and also they have pulled my credit prior to XX/XX/XXXX because I had tried to get a credit increase and it was denied because of credit at that time, so that theory of randomly being selected should be knocked off the list of why my account was lowered. This is the company 's attempt to fault customers when they use the card protection on the accounts they have with Synchrony Bank and they are using excuses of random credit report checks, or your pay history ( which before the event happened was paid every month ) to justify lowering a customers credit after they use the account security and something should be done about this because if you research it online there are XXXX 's of other customers this has happened to after using card security and they continue to get away with this.

Consumer complaint received 04-05-2017 about Debt collection (Credit card) with CITIBANK, N.A. (CA).
Issue: Taking/threatening an illegal action
Sub-issue: Threatened arrest/jail if do not pay

Complaint: XXXX lien my house with XXXX judgements for the credit card debt that has passed 4 years from the first date of default. I contacted XXXX and CITI bank who confirmed that first date of default on these accounts were XX/XX/XXXX ... XXXX sold this charged off account to XXXX and Citi bank sold this account to XXXX. Both of these collection companies were then solicited by XXXX XXXX who promised them to collect. XXXX then has filed for a judgment in XX/XX/XXXX which is past the 4 years and violates the statute of limitations for the state of California. XXXX XXXX has violated federal statutes and violated Fair collection practices act. I asked them to stop and release the liens even offered to settle on these account but they refused to accept anything less than full balance.. I keep getting harassing and ensulting phone calls very early and near XXXX from this company. XXXX agreed to settle these account for less than full balance sent me a fax on XX/XX/XXXX, and now denies doing so ... XXXX said they will send a sheriff to my residence or work to arrest me if these accounts are not paid in full in 10 days. THis is unacceptable is n't there a law to stop these illegal collection practices? ..

Complaint: They have XXXX different names : NPG, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX. I have a answered several calls from this scam. They say they are gon na have the sheriff serve me with papers at work, then have me arrested, then sue me. These people are the most unprofessional, soulless, rude scammers.

The third time I was transferred to someone that called herself a supervisor who still just tried to get personal information from me, when I refused she said good luck in court and hung up the phone. I speak directly to any company I do business with. This so called company needs to be stopped.

Consumer complaint received 08/17/2016 about Credit card () with BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (CA).
Issue: Other

Complaint: Unauthorized account, mishandling of dispute, poor customer service. 
My XXXX blue XXXX XXXX account was sold ( " converted '' ) to Barclaycard on XXXX XXXX, 2016. My XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account was cancelled and my outstanding balance was transferred to Barclaycard without my consent. My Barclaycard arrived in the mail and I learned that I needed to pay my outstanding XXXX XXXX balance to Barclaycard. However I had no access to XXXX XXXX on line account information or customer service after the conversion and Barclaycard did not yet have the information about transaction on my XXXX XXXX Account. So I paid my XXXX XXXX balance to Barclaycard, but also requested that Barclaycard send me statements regarding my XXXX XXXX transactions. 

When those statements arrived with my prior XXXX XXXX transactions, I realized that there was an unauthorized charge on my XXXX XXXX account on XXXX XXXX, 2016. After trying to work with the merchant, I determined that the merchant was not willing to resolve the issue and issue a refund. But when I contacted XXXX XXXX I was advised that I needed to contact Barclaycard for any customer service or dispute. 

XXXX XXXX, 2016 I called Barclaycard on and initiated a dispute regarding the unauthorized charge. I did not receive any case number or letter documenting the dispute, nor were the funds put back on my card. I heard nothing at all. I contacted Barclaycard again regarding this matter on the following dates : XXXX XXXX, 2016 Status check- case pending, no information XXXX XXXX Status check-case pending, no information XXXX XXXX Status check- was told they would send the dispute to the " back '' for escalation so I could get an answer. 
XXXX XXXX, 2016 Spoke with two agents about the dispute : XXXX : Said dispute had not been handled correctly but it was probably because of the conversion. Requested higher escalation to Client Relations and said I should get a call or a letter sometime within a couple of weeks. However she could not provide me with any documentation of the dispute or case number. 

XXXX Dispute supervisor ( Reference number XXXX ) Explained that XXXX XXXX was responsible for handling the dispute since the charges went through before the conversion. So that is why Barclaycard was not handling the dispute in the usual way. That is why I did n't get any letter or documentation that the dispute had been opened. The dispute had been sent to XXXX XXXX but nothing had been received from them and that XXXX XXXX was not being compliant with the agreement.

Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint: I continue to receive telephone calls from XXXX. The company denies making the calls, but the calls continue. The caller ID reads " Navient ''.

Consumer complaint received 11/29/2016 about Other financial service (Debt settlement) with Shore View Financial Partners Inc. (ME).
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint: I hired Shoreview Financial XX/XX/2014 to modify my mortgage and paid them {$3000.00} up front to do so. The agreement was that they would exhaust all possibilities of a modification, and if they were unsuccessful, they would refund me the {$3000.00}. We had numerous denials in the past 24 months and were asked if we wanted to continue and we decided a refund was appropriate. I was told I would receive one within the week, never did. I called and was told I was n't forgotten and it should be another week or two. I called after that duration of time and received an email in response saying that the company was " shutting down '' but would be sure to pay me what I was owed. I waited another week and called again and I was told that they had no idea when I would actually be paid, and if any company ever told me that they could modify my mortgage for a fee to " run in the other direction, '' because if THEY could n't deliver, then NOONE would be able to. I am still having trouble contacting anyone and have not heard anything more about my refund.

Consumer complaint received 12/29/2015 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with NELNET, INC. (MI).
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't get flexible payment options

Complaint: I am behind on my student loan because I can not afford the payments. I contacted the servicer to see if they can offer me any assistance to bring the account current or at least get on a payment plan. They have no options for me. So although I am attempting to pay because I can not pay the past due balance in full there is nothing they can do. This is very frustrating because it seems that all I can do is have the account go to collections. I have been paying on this account for 7 years now and ran into financial difficulties. It seems that more options need to be available to help borrowers pay these loans.

Consumer complaint received 11-09-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (NC).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: I have disputed this account with Experian again and again and their response is always the same Verified. I have disputed the accuracy in the reporting, I am not sure how you can say this this account was verified of being accurate just from a click of a button. I have asked in which ways did they verify this account and I am still waiting on a response from them. I understand now that verifying an account is a simple process of pressing a button and the company responding back with another click of the button through automation as verifying the account. Well that 's not verifying the accuracy of an account and by law the account must be reporting accurately and verified by law. I have n't received an accurate dispute on this account by law. I want this account removed from my credit report as a result of not fully investigating the accuracy of reporting.

Consumer complaint received 03-08-2016 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with AES/PHEAA (WV).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Having problems with customer service

Complaint: There are XXXX student loan accounts for my Daughter that i was a co-signer on. XXXX of these account were in collection. The agency that serviced these accounts was AES and they had written off both accounts in XXXX XXXX. Fast Forward on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) was settled in full thru XXXX XXXX. The XXXX loan on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX AES/NCT was settled in full thru XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX offices who was contracted by XXXX XXXX XXXX.who contracted by Nation Collegiate Student Trust XXXX to service their accounts. Since this this time I have been trying to get these XXXX accounts reported correctly on our credit reports. Thru numerous disputes dateing back a year or more i can say that this is a disaster. AES claims they have nothing to do with these accounts since they wrote them off XX/XX/XXXX yet they are the ones that have done the reporting and who the credit agencies contact for the dispute. AES has done another wonderful thing and that is they have XXXX account number for both of those accounts, which is the account number for the XXXX loan, but the NCT loan is also under that account number But the actual account number is different. Now XXXX and XXXX have sent AES letters that these accounts are settled in full, but on our credit reports they are reporting that the Accounts are in collection with a balance due and a balance past due. XXXX even has gone as far as on the AES/Charter ( citizens ) of reporting balance XXXX, Payment received XXXX past due XXXX status in collection.Nothing like mixing the XXXX accounts together. I have sent hours i mean hours on the phone with the credit agencies particular XXXX ( because on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX they finally were reporting correctly ... and changed back to reporting incorrectly on XXXX ). All the hours of phone calls and conversations to the credit agencies and to AES they absolutely refuse to report these accounts as settled in full. AES says they are reporting correctly and the credit agencies tell me they only report what is sent to them and do not have the power to change it. I have also have been told the proof of settled in full is not acceptable because the account numbers do n't match on the AES/NCT. As i said AES did a wonderful thing by listing both accounts under XXXX account number. And They wo n't Rectify that. I know these accounts were in collection and circumstances at the time led to the accounts going to collection. But when the circumstance changed, i made agreements and paid these off. I have worked hard to build my credit back up and my daughter is building hers, that without these XXXX accounts being reported correctly she ca n't buy a home, our insurance rates are higher etc ... We need help and AES and the credit agencies refuse to correct this. Your our last resort. thank you

Consumer complaint received 09-07-2015 about Mortgage (Reverse mortgage) with AMERICAN ADVISORS GROUP (OK).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: The AAG commercials air constantly and my elderly mother succumbed and agreed to take out a reverse mortgage. However, in the meantime, she made me promise that I would make certain, as the oldest daughter, that I would " save '' the family home for my youngest sister. I made the promise. I did not know how sick she was ; she hid a lot from her XXXX daughters. We found her passed on the sofa on XX/XX/XXXX after I got home from work. I looked at the cost sheet for this reverse mortgage and the charges are unconscionable. Further, the funds were received on XX/XX/XXXX and she passed on XX/XX/XXXX. I did not know that she took out the reverse mortgage ; I advised against it and I thought she had taken my advice. Our family house was built in XX/XX/XXXX when we returned from XXXX, XXXX with the XXXX XXXX. Our family are the only ones to ever reside in this house. My grandmother passed in this house, my brother ( XXXX veteran ) passed in this house, my father passed in this house ( XXXX XXXX veteran ), and my mother passed in this house. I am terrified that I am going to be unable to keep our family home because of this reverse mortgage. My mother only owed a small mortgage of {$4500.00}. I could have " saved '' our family home had it not been for this reverse mortgage. I just do not know what is going to happen in the future. If there is anything you can do, please help.
