I am not in the habit of paying just because someone says I owe them..I need month and dates of this service for verification of its validity as I have never been notified of this in the past..

Consumer complaint received 09/23/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (VA).
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Sent card you never applied for

Complaint: I received a statement from Chase XXXX Mileageplus credit card for an annual fee of {$95.00} for a credit card ( account number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) that I had not applied for. On XXXX, I called Chase customer service and was informed that an application for the credit card had been received. I informed them I had not applied for this account, which apparently had been opened in XXXX, and they closed the account, which had seen no activity, and later waived the annual fee. I was told that all records related to this account would be sent to me, but to date, I have not received the application or any other documents related to opening this account. Knowing the recent XXXX XXXX scandal regarding the opening of unauthorized accounts, I am suspicious that Chase may have been doing the same thing. I am writing to make you aware of this incident in case others have also been victimized in this way. 

I filed reports with the FTC and my local police department and notified all 3 credit monitoring agencies about the fraudulent card. I then placed security freezes with all 3 credit monitoring agencies, and extended the freeze earlier this month. According to the Virginia Attorney General 's Office, I have the right to obtain documents relating to fraudulent transactions or accounts opened using your personal information. I sent a follow-up letter on XXXX XXXX, to Chase again requesting any records and have received nothing from them. 

I am concerned that Chase may have initiated this fraudulent account in that the account was opened with my correct home address, which seems odd if someone were trying to steal my identity. Also odd is that no transactions were made, even though it was a month before I discovered the fraudulent account. Please note that I do not and have never had a credit card with Chase.

Consumer complaint received 10-09-2015 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with U.S. BANCORP (IL).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint: A XXXX XXXX XXXX of US Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/15 manually adjusted a check deposit out of a checking account weeks after it had cleared the maker 's bank. At no time have I been issued any notice or option to dispute. They have refused to comply with Cease and Desist so that I can pursue dispute. They have refused to cooperate with external mediation so that the dispute can be resolved. They have refused to issue any form of document regarding how much they claim they are owed on an account that had overdraft protection on a linked credit card account that I was able to pay and close. They blocked deposits or other payments to the account at issue at the same time as the manual deposit. They have only vaguely stated they want cash only delivered in person only to only XXXX XXXX XXXX Branch Manager of US Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX who as in this is not likely to credit the account at a national bank that has no possible options to do so. I do n't live in or bank with that branch at the time or since as one whose ATM never worked either. They retaliate for seeking external mediation. And have completely blocked even paying while continuing to escalate extrernal credit reporting damage and stalking me personally harassing me up to 3x a day with the block of payment, refusing to do other than issue another completely different false claim, taunt, harass while I am at work taunting about falsifying the entire thing, etc. 

They have in the XXXX and XXXX suburban areas of US Bank as well as MN Fraud Division for all of XXXX, refused to comply with Cease and Desist so that I could pursue dispute and resolution of this false claim. 

They continue to and take all these actions with fraudulently created debt which is against the law directed at anybody or any type of entity. 

I am being harassed so continually and methodically, including the XXXX XXXX and other taunting up to 3x a day, that US Bank has become violently dangerous to my personal safety. They are disrupting and forcing cancellations of necessary health care XXXX, etc. 

The time and money they are gouging about this dispute are also in XXXX dollars by now and irreparable damage has been done over this nearly 2 month time frame of illegal collections, illegal credit reporting, and illegal personal stalking to the point of a computer cartoon entertainment on the part of US Bank employee who continues to orchestrate it.

Sub-issue: Threatened to take legal action

Complaint: After I asked if I could make a smaller payment day of call and set up automatic payments each month the person on the phone said no they wo n't accept it and that they can serve my husband with a lawsuit even though he 's not on the debt because we live in California they are allowed to do that and also place a lien on my house even if the house is in my husbands name.

Consumer complaint received 03/30/2017 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with BAYVIEW LOAN SERVICING, LLC (AZ).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: We had a hardship situation between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX that caused us to file bankruptcy and we could n't make our mortgage payments. I will attach a " Hardship Letter '', explaining details. We have been working with Bayview Loan Servicing to get our mortgage modified or restructured to include the payments we missed. We provided them with hundreds of pages of documents. They say they send them to their underwriting department and then we get a notice saying we did n't provide everything they needed and therefore they ca n't modify our loan. Then we contact them and say we did provide everything they needed and the whole process starts over again. This has been going on for over a year. Recently, they started foreclosure proceedings and we have a Trustee Sale Date of XX/XX/XXXX. Since then I have contacted everyone I possible could to save our home and get Bayview to follow through. I have sent information to the White House, both of my Congressmen, Senators and XXXX Ethics Department ( they are the original mortgage holder ). I have sent everything Bayview has asked for. The most recent communication from them indicates they will have a resolution by XX/XX/XXXX, but they have given us a date like this, over and over and nothing happens. I ca n't sit back an wait for them to take my home. I need help to get them to take action. If they will just include the payments we 've missed in our mortgage, we can make our payments and be fine.

Consumer complaint received 07/24/2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with Pacific Union Financial, LLC (IL).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: client came to office to see housing counselor - packet was submitted to Pacific Union and according to client, they initially confirmed verbally that her file was in review. however, client has not received anything in writing. Client did go to XXXX court hearing on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and the case was stricken from the case management call, the Court having determined that no further case management conference is necessary. Client believes that no one from lender or lender 's representative showed up to court that day. Since then, the lender/servicer continues to harass her with phone calls and written correspondence regarding amounts owed, and client states that she opens all her mail, so she is unaware of any written correspondence regarding her file submission. On XXXX/XXXX/15, client was serves again with another foreclosure filing - and has another court hearing on XXXX XXXX, 2015 - housing counselor scanned in all of her documents to her file, and will call lender for status at this point. XXXX informed client to go to court hearing - according to the new set of documents client brought into the office, the new petition states that her previous loss mitigation packet was closed due to insufficient income, and did not qualify - this will need to be confirmed with lender - Called Pacific Financial @ XXXX and spoke with XXXX. missing docs letter was not sent because the information that was sent in XXXX - and because the previous review for assistance was denied due to insufficient income, no change of circumstance had occurred - so therefore no missing docs letter was sent to client - according to XXXX, file was never submitted to review - because it was immediately determined that income information and household circumstances were same as previous submission - therefore file was closed. Lender/servicer did confirm that FHA is investor and she needs to consider transition option at this point - XXXX continued to meet with client at this point to discuss alternatives. XXXX now has a discussion with client - file a complaint with CFPB - show up to court on XXXX/XXXX/15, and request mediation - and understands that there is strong possibility that client will have to resubmit file once again since previous file was closed with no missing docs letter or acknowledgement letter provided to homeowner.

Sub-issue: Public record

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX the XXXX County Clerk recorded a tax lien by the CA Franchise Tax Board, Ref : XXXX. We were not aware of the lien as our taxes were being handled by a 3rd Party.
