Consumer complaint received 03/28/2017 about Credit card () with AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (GA).
Issue: Other

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment for hotel and flight reservations with my American Express card ( AE ) to XXXX, its travel agent, XXXX XXXX, located in XXXX, Oregon. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted the travel agent to cancel all of my reservations and request a full refund of {$2000.00} for the hotel. I have been disputing this charge with AE since XX/XX/XXXX to date with no resolution. 
In one of the attached emails dated XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed for the first time, that the hotel reservation was a non-refundable transaction. Though the transaction occurred on XX/XX/XXXX. Therefore, this is the problem I have been disputing with all parties involved, including AE, that the agent failed to communicate to me, either in writing or verbally, of any cancellation/refund policy. 
I do not believe I should be penalized for someone else 's negligence failing to notify its customer of any cancellation/refund policies. Neither did XXXX XXXX inform me of any third party provider of services until I received the vouchers issued by XXXX. And XXXX, upon its response letter to AE on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX received her commission. Travel Bound received its payment. And I am stuck with a {$2000.00} AE bill due to someone 's ineptitude. No one is taking responsibility for failing to lawfully inform the customers of its business ' policies. 
On three ( 3 ) occasions, I have disputed this charge with AE. On three occasions, AE has informed me there is nothing more they can do to get the refund from the parties involved. As recent as XX/XX/XXXX, I was contacted by XXXX XXXX, American Express Executive Customer Care with the same response as before. I have observed a lack of protection towards its customer from AE. Evidently, AE has easily accepted a snapshot received from XXXX and XXXX as sufficient evidence to rule in their favor. I have provided written emails evidence to all noting that XXXX XXXX failed in her fiduciary duty to inform me, anytime prior to finalizing the transaction with XXXX. My evidence has been completely ignored. 
At no time did she mention any cancellation/refund policy. I have repeatedly requested all parties to provide me with written or verbal evidence that I was dutifully informed of their policies. All have chosen to ignore my request including AE. 
XXXX provided a refund of {$25.00} on the first dispute. I have asked for an explanation for the refund. Also, it has not been addressed in either of their response. 
Additionally, I am extremely dissatisfied with AE 's poor customer service support. During this dispute, I have observed a lack of support or protection towards its customer. 
I have also noticed XXXX website states their hotel cancellation/refund policy. If canceled 72 hrs or more, full refund. I canceled beyond that timeframe. I find this a deceitful practice to customers. I am requesting XXXX to provide a written explanation of the contradiction of this policy and its refusal to issue a full refund.

Consumer complaint received 11/19/2017 about Mortgage (VA mortgage) with M&T BANK CORPORATION (RI).
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint: Currently my husband and I are behind on our mortgage due to my husband being out of work and having a disabled child which requires a significant amount of medical expenses, therapies, and a special diet. I tried to make a payment via phone for XXXX month and I was told that the company will only accept atleast two months of payments which I could not afford at the time. I think received a bank check from my bank and mailed it in for a payment at which time the payment was returned with a letter stating unless we can pay the full amount that is past due in full which is {$7900.00} then our home will go into foreclosure. 

We claimed bankruptcy in XXXX XXXX and I have n't been offered any other payment options other than pay in full which I am unable to do right now. We do not want to lose our home and we are willing to pay.

Consumer complaint received 04/21/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Ditech Financial LLC (SD).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: XXXX XXXX sold our XXXX Mortgage to Green Tree Servicing LLC a few years back. I 've been reading about harrasing calls for collecting payments and we most definately agree, they were so rude and demanding. Their calls would always start out " could I speak to XYZ '' and you respond " this is '' and the next sentence would be " do you want to keep your home at XYZ '' ). Really, what a very offensive comment on your XXXX call requesting payment information. I recall many times I commented that they put their efforts towards collecting from true " past due '' customers and not us when we did n't miss a payment in a 30 day window ). They would go so far as calling on the due date if it did n't arrive and ask where 's your payment, what 's the check number, why did n't you mail it in time. XXXX conversation we specifically remember that was so wrong on their behalf.. I questioned them as to why they continue to call every month without allowing us the 14 day grace period before it 's past due. I was told Green Tree is a collection agenecy not a mortgage company so no grace period is allowed, which I found to be very concerning as my loan was definately connected to my home mortgage for colateral. Last year, XXXX sold our primary mortgage to Green Tree as well so I 'm concerned what the future may hold for us if our payment does not arrive on or before the " due date '' and no grace period allowed ( according to GreenTree representatives ). I do have to say for a professional lending company, they have no professionalism in their business tactics. 
We just recently paid our XXXX mortgage in full with GreenTree so we could have the harrassing stop every single month, no matter what the date was and we did not feel they deserved XXXX in interest to support wages for that kind of customer service. If I had the finances I would pay my primary mortgage in full as well so GreenTree receives no interest from us ( but we currently do not have the resources to pay it in full ).

Consumer complaint received 12/22/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (TX).
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: In XXXX XXXX I called Kohl 's to make my monthly payment, decided to pay 2 seperate pymnt in order to pay 1 month in advance.I had no idea when fraud occurred & credit union cancelled my card that Kohls pymnts were not paid. No NSF fees, trying to recover cash, contact all auto-debitors, finding unknown SS #, addresses, employment, credit inquiries, attempts to finance a vehicle and more connected to my credit report ... what i later found to be Kohls recorded messages in my vmail sound like telemarketing, incomplete, started with 2 min white noise, cut off with incomplete info & was unsure who called. They reported me dropping my credit score 42 pts overnight.I was in 1st stages of home equity loan to upgrade my home, this ruined all arrangements for that.I spent hours, days, made over 40 calls to Kohls/XXXX, Corporate promised me a callback in 10 min, after visiting a store manager asking him to please call in order to attempt getting someone to help me, they never called.He was embarrassed for corporate. I tried everything, I explained the fraud, offered credit union statements, proof no NFS fees, you name it and they referred me time and time again to XXXX who referred me back to Kohls. Started on XXXX XXXX and it is XXXX XXXX, no one has ever responded to my calls, emails, requests for help, complaints, nothing but a runaround from a huge chain that never sent a letter about my missed payment, never responded to my many emails or phone calls, but manages to blow up my email daily with duplicate " offers '' in an attempt to entice me to spending more money. They make sure they have the resources for marketing while leaving long time customers hanging in the wind with no answers or assistance of any type. Paying them off income tax time and destroying the card which I have not used in months.Bottom line, Kohls did not make a effort to contact me about the payment via email, phone or mail other than a poor recorded call that lacks required contact information. In the end, I was promised help the never came, a phone call from the gentleman at Corporate that oversees accounts who I was told is unable to accept phone calls in his office.

Consumer complaint received 12/20/2016 about Debt collection (Credit card) with HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC. (AZ).
Issue: Taking/threatening an illegal action
Sub-issue: Threatened to sue on too old debt

Complaint: XXXX is claiming I have past due credit card debt with HSBC, They claim if I do n't resolve it, I am being sued for wire fraud. They left me several messages. Two of the messages that were left on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX claim that if I do n't resolve this debt, I would be sued for wire fraud. 

I spoke to XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX on Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX. He stated they were trying to contact me about an alleged past due credit card debt with HSBC. He said he could settle the debt that day for {$900.00} and the balance owed was {$1500.00}. He also said if I did n't make a payment arrangement with them, the balance owed would be {$6900.00} with interest and court costs. 

I then asked XXXX if he was a law firm. He said, no we 're litigators. He said if I did n't pay, I would be taken to court. I then asked him what attorney was handling this case. He claimed he had a whole network of attorneys that they worked with, but could not provide me with a name. He also claimed I was being sued for wire fraud. 

I do not believe this company has the authority to take me to court, and I do not believe past due credit card debt can be considered wire fraud. The statute of limitations for credit card debt in Arizona is six years. They are claiming the debt was charged off XX/XX/2008, therefore this debt is time-barred. I believe this company is a fraud. To my knowledge, this company making legal threats that they have no intention of carrying out is illegal. It is not standard practice for an attorney, or anybody that is in the debt collection business to claim I am being sued for wire fraud over credit card debt. I also do not believe this company works with any attorney whatsoever, and I severely doubt they have the authority to even collect these debts. Please investigate this company. Thank you.

Consumer complaint received 03/21/2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC. (TX).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: My mortgage payment jumped {$420.00} from on month to another. When I reach our to PennyMac Mortgage they said it was due to an Escrow analysis to cause the jump in payment. My calucations for the reason for the increase did not add up. They claimed there were shortages due to them placing forced place insurance on my loan. However my policy with XXXX never expired that would require they place forced placed insurance on my loan. The only change was my insurance premiums did rise from {$1400.00} to {$2100.00} totalling a {$660.00} increase. When I asked why they would charge me and extra {$420.00} a month for the next 12 months, Pennymac response was we have to get back with you. This is unexceptable! I paided the extra {$420.00} to avoid any late fees and negative credit reporting. After 7 days PennyMac has not responded back to my request for a full investigation on why they tried to charge me for forced placed insurance.

Consumer complaint received 01/19/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. ().
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint: My relationship through Navient was a constant source of XXXX in my life. I contacted Navient several times in order to determine whether my loans were eligible for reduced payments without going into forbearance. I was told that because I was not residing in the US that my loans were ineligible for income based repayment, for both Federal Student Loans and Private Student Loans that were consolidated at an exorbitantly high interest rate, 8 %, in XXXX. We were advised ( threatened ) that interest rates would go up even further so consolidation was the only viable option. I was neither able to renegotiate later when interest rates went down dramatically nor re-consolidate at a lower rate. When I gave XXXX in XXXX and was subsequently XXXX, I communicated with the lender and was told I could defer payments and then was sent a bill for the months missed with compounded interest. When I was able to pay extra towards my loans, in XXXX, it was never put towards the prinicple. 
My loans were handled in a vile fashion. I never felt represented or helped, only taken advantage of and XXXX at every turn. We depleted our family savings in order to get this repulsive agency out of our lives every month.
