Consumer complaint received 06/16/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (PA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I was never late with a payment. Had some personal issues and my husband and I separated. He was XXXX XX/XX/2015. I requested a loan modification and was sent a repayment plan where I would be paying double the normal payment. I turned it down because if I could n't afford one how could I afford more. During their decision making process they said I did n't have to pay if I could n't, therefore I am now considered delinquent as I 'm 72 days behind, I 've been turned down for HEMAP and I 'm not sure what to do next. Things are back to normal, my husband and I are back together and can make payments, we just need help getting caught up with the back payments.

Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I qualify for a loan modification. My hardship is loss of most of my income due to XXXX. Since taxes are n't taken out of my month SS check, wells Fargo says they need a monthly gross and net. Therefore they are adding XXXX % more income to use as a gross making me no longer eligible for the modification. Is this legal or just another illegal stunt of Wells Fargo?

Consumer complaint received 05/28/2017 about Debt collection (Medical debt) with Professional Finance Company, Inc. (CO).
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: On  X/XX/17 , I ente red into an agreement with  Professional Finance Corporation att orneys in court to pay a debt in the amount of {$550.00} ( {$410.00} principle, {$55.00} interest and {$130.00} in court costs  ).  This agreement was approved by the presiding judge and agreement signed in court. This amount was paid in full through bank account deductions of {$100.00} eve ry two wee ks. On  XXXX   XXXX , I received a letter from the attorney that I had worked with on this stating the payment was made in full. The issue is that they did not stop taking out funds, but continued taking money out of my bank account after the full amount of {$550.00} was satisfied, and as of today they have taken a total of {$700.00} from my bank account, which is {$140.00} more than the court ordered amount, and this would appear to be illegal in nature.

Consumer complaint received 05-06-2016 about Credit card () with AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (NJ).
Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint: American Express has a credit card issued under my SSN with a {$22000.00} limit. It appears in my credit report. I had never applied for this account and its a fraud account. The name/address/dob on the account does not match mine. I have sent Amex a notarized affidavit of Identity, a copy of SSN card, Driver 's License, FTC report, Receipt of police case and an affidavit stating that I have no XXXX XXXX checking/saving account which they claim I have used to pay for this fraud Amex Credit Card Account. I have raised this issue FIVE times and every time they say " Thank you for bringing to our attention the dispute regarding the account referenced above. We have reviewed our records and are unable to accept your claims since you made the payments. Therefore you have accepted liability for the account. Our investigation has revealed that payments have been made from your XXXX XXXX Account Bank ''. I have five such letters with me. 
They refuse to send me the document based on which they concluded that the XXXX account is mine. I do not have any XXXX XXXX checking/saving account and I mentioned that in my notarized affidavit. 
They sent me the transactions on this account for last 2 years and its very obvious that the account belongs to someone in AZ who had used it in the past to buy airlines tickets also ( names of the passengers are in the transactions ) They have refused to close the account, even though I have requested this FIVE times. 
They have refused to send me the XXXX documents unless I attest that my name is the one which appears on their records ( wrong name-wrong person- they are using my SSN ). 
This has been going on for 1 year now. So if the person who has this fraud account under my SSN decides to buy something for {$22000.00} and not pay back - Amex will hold me responsible. 
They want me to get a notarized letter from XXXX XXXX that I have not paid for this account. I can not get such a document as the XXXX XXXX Branch Manager says that they can only give a letter for the accounts I have, but not a letter stating that I do not have any accounts. 
The customer service from Amex has not been helpful at all and they refuse to even do a reasonable investigation or send the documents they have used in reaching their conclusions. 
Its almost like Amex is holding me hostage to Identity fraud and waiting for the fraud account holder to commit a fraud and then go after me for collection. 
I am extremely frustrated with Amex and their harassment.

Consumer complaint received 09-06-2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE (OH).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I took a check made payable to my order in the sum of {$54000.00} to my local branch of Huntington Bank in XXXX Ohio. I asked to deposit {$50000.00} into my checking account and to receive the {$410.00} back in cash. I received a receipt for the deposit and the cash in the amount requested. The employee counted the money and I counted it again to make sure it was correct. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, while reviewing my online records with the bank I discovered that they had debited my account on XXXX XXXX, 2016 for {$100.00} for " miscellaneous. '' I immediately contacted the bank and they told me that the check had been incorrectly coded by them for {$54000.00}. I asked to see that incorrect coding and they indicated it was not available. I asked to see proof that I had received an unauthorized {$100.00} and they had no proof. The employee may have intentionally or negligently incorrectly coded the check, but that is not my problem. Ninety days after the check was deposited and negotiated, the Huntington Bank, without notice to me and without authorization and without proof, extracted and debited {$100.00} from my account. The bank now refuses to put the money back. I have no idea what the bank is doing with " coding '' but I do know that I received a total from the check, of {$54000.00}. A bank can not simply break into an account and steal {$100.00}. The local bank and the home office advised me that they did not do an internal investigation to determine what happened to the {$100.00}. I have now begun to withdraw my accounts and investments from this bank, as I have lost confidence in their integrity. If they have proof that I received {$100.00} I was not entitled to, they need to produce that.

Consumer complaint received 05-05-2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with Ditech Financial LLC (FL).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: In early 2013, I enrolled in and enlisted mortgage modification assistance from the XXXX Program in XXXX FL. Throughout the process I completed all steps and requirements ; In late 2013 I accepted the modification deal presented to me. At first glance, the offer represented my needs at the time and I was urged by the XXXX XXXX complete the application and accept the terms. However, upon a closer inspection of the documents presented by CitiMortgage they clearly scream 'predatory lending ' complete with ( 1 ) a first and second mortgage, ( 2 ) a final balloon payment and ( 3 ) loan maturity date extended out to year XXXX. I am horrified at the trap I 've fallen into at this stage of life and returning to the XXXX Agency has not provided any relief - just embarrassment and finger pointing t at me that I accepted the deal and that I have to seek relief and guidance elsewhere. 
I am in much dire straits and distress then ever before.

Consumer complaint received 10-07-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: In XXXX of XXXX, I formally filed an adversarial proceeding to discharge my student loans. This proceeding is entirely pro per ; there is no outside help at all. At the time of the filing of this proceeding -- and since XXXX, the student loans have been on deferment/forbearance ; they have not been late at all. 

Upon filing, all of a sudden, I get a " late '' notation for the month of XXXX XXXX. This is impossible since at the time of the filing, the loans were in forbearance. I wrote to XXXX explaining this situation which they subsequently corrected. As of today, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, they have placed the " late '' notation back on the account -- - and there is no reason for them to do so. 

So, this matter, it seems, would involved XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX alike. XXXX XXXX XXXX for wrongly placing a late notation ( they did this for Trans Union as well ) ; and XXXX for their obdurate refusal to look in to the matter. 

In my amended adversarial complaint with the court against XXXX XXXX XXXX, I have noted this fact as well, namely, that they have wrongly reported me late to the credit bureaus, which is, ironically, further reason for discharge of the student loan.

Consumer complaint received 01/27/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (NY).
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't decrease my monthly payments

Complaint: I have been trying to work with Naivent to help lower my payments. They have given me few no options as to which to lower my payment. When I submit for lowering my payments they take into account my gross pay, not my net pay and they also do not consider any other expenses a month. This in turn allows them to charge an extraordinary amount of money to repay my loans. I have been trying for several years with no resolution. I have been reported to my credit agencies as late but have not defaulted. I fear if there is no positive resolution I might default on my loans. I have no problem paying but it needs to be fair to me. If you have a car loan for 6 years for {$70000.00} you are still paying less than for a student loan for 30 years at the same cost. Makes no sense.

Consumer complaint received 03-06-2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (IN).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint: In the past I 've come across some hard times and needed help. Navient or XXXX alays gave me the feeling that I was doing something wrong. I 've called a few time to be put on forbearance, hold off on payments or what we you want to call it. It 's difficult to say what I 'm on right now because it 's confusing when I call and I never understand what they say. I feel they try to trick you into doing something you really do n't need to do. As of right now I will be paying for my student loans until I pass away. It 's sad that I let it get like this but to get a degree and colleges cost so much, this is the only way to achieve this. I 'm racking up inyerest, late fees and who knows what else. I 'm worried that Navient /XXXX is making it hard for me.

Consumer complaint received 07-11-2017 about Debt collection (Credit card debt) with AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (NV).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint: In XXXX I was in a serious car accident, I had a XXXX XXXX that required me to be put in a XXXX. My american express account was being paid by my father, but due to XXXX payments being late a few times the account was paid late. A collection Specialist from American Express was assigned to the account, he spoke to my father and was told of my situation, however this man harassed my father, called my employer over and over again demanding them to have me call, he called my elderly father-in-law at his rest home and made him cry, he called friends of mine, he was told over and over that I was in a XXXX in the hospital and could not come to the phone. this collections specialist then closed the account that had been open since XXXX. Originally it was my fathers account and when I was in College he added me to the account for emergencies, somehow years ago I was made the principal. Now because of this when my father tried to pay the account off this collections specialist would not allow him to do so, stating he had to speak to me directly even though I was unavailable in the hospital in a XXXX. I have now paid for 3 extra months of interest due to this collections specialist not allowing the pay-off by my father. Every call you place to American Express is routed to this man, you can not speak to a supervisor or anyone else once you give the account number they just transfer you to him. He is abusive, he berates me for not calling him back, for avoiding his calls all this time, he is the party that closed the account and his unkind failure to understand the medical situation I was in is reprehensible. American express has allowed this man to operate outside the boundaries of normal collection practice, he has provided to outside parties that my account is in collection and past due, harassed my work, family, friends all outside the boundries of the law. Now today I tried to call myself, even though I am unable to really speak great, I forget words, it takes me time to explain myself, I must think before every word, but all I got was this mans abuse. He called me back for over an hour every couple of minutes and hung up on me, he pretended to be someone else, when I asked his name over a few times he finally said his name and hung up. I need to pay this account off but can not get anyone to help.

Consumer complaint received 03/24/2015 about Debt collection (I do not know) with Southwest Credit Systems, L.P. (CA).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint: I got a copy of my credit report and noticed a negative reporting from an unknown company ( Southwest Credit ) I disputed this debt with the credit bureau, because I do not know of this debt, who its from, when account was opened, and even if it is indeed my debt. I never received a debt collection letter from Southwest Credit giving me a chance to dispute or verify the debt, before they went and reported negatively on my credit report. 

Where did this debt come from, when was the account opened, where was correspondence sent regarding this debt, who is the original creditor, and I would like proof ( application, signed by me ).
