Consumer complaint received 05/29/2015 about Credit card () with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (MO).
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint: My XXXX son XXXX figured out my XXXX password and in XXXX days made {$2700.00} in-app purchases on his iPad without my permission and billed to my Chase credit card. I attempted to dispute these charges as unauthorized with Chase, a customer representative told me that in order for them to recognize the charges as unauthorized I would have to BRING CHARGES AGAINST MY XXXX SON. This is outrageous. According to the Truth in Lending Act, I am only responsible for {$50.00} of unauthorized purchases. I am also unhappy about their failure to decline purchases and contact me concerning them, when it is quite obvious that this was aberrant purchasing behavior.

Consumer complaint received 01/13/2017 about Credit card () with Alliance Data Card Services (MN).
Issue: Unsolicited issuance of credit card

Complaint: On XX/XX/2016 I shopped at XXXX. While in the check-out line the cashier asked if I would like to join the XXXX Rewards Program. I said yes but not if it was a credit card as I did not want a credit card. The cashier stated vehemently this was a rewards only program. At the end of the transaction the cashier smiled and said you qualify for a credit card. I then asked to speak to the store manager and once again said I did not want a credit card and that the cashier had lied to me. He stated the transaction would be backed out and assured me I would not be getting a credit card. 
I was shopping with a friend who will testify to this entire transaction. The lies of the cashier and the Manager on Duty lying as well. 
So you can imagine my shock this week when a credit card arrived in the mail. A credit card I did not request and in fact said I did not want. This is an illegally opened credit card and I intend to move to have your store held accountable for this. You have messed with my credit and committed a criminal act.

Consumer complaint received 05-12-2016 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (CA).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account terms

Complaint: My husband and I applied for a Loan Modification at XXXX XXXX XXXX because of health/medical bills, etc. We were never late or failed to make payments. After speaking with multiple supervisors they instructed us, against our wishes, to stop making payments 2 times in order for our Loan Modification to be approved. My attorney instincts kicked in and I said I did n't trust it because I did n't want to be reported negatively on my credit report. They repeatedly told me it would not affect my credit report and they would not negatively report us. I said I wanted that in writing, which I got the supervisor to write me via email stating that. I thought that should be good enough. Then I recently checked my credit report and of course one of the only negative ( and now my only negative reporting as my other one from a credit card have been fixed ). This makes me furious that they specifically told me not to pay which did not sound right but I listened to them because it had been over a year trying to get our Loan Modification approved. I then did a dispute with XXXX and they said they wo n't change it which is crazy since I gave them all the documentation including the email from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I will pursue this to the end as it is wrong and I consider it to be fraud.

Consumer complaint received 01-08-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE (FL).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: We closed on our mortgage with Nationstar on XXXX/XXXX/15 and wired the payoff funds the same day. 2 days after closing and after recieving the funds via wire, Nationstar changed their payoff amount due and refused to accept our wire. They then held up the process for 16 days, not accepting the new wire amount until XXXX/XXXX/15. For these 16 days, they refused to refund us our mortgage interest, as the payoff at closing was thru XXXX and any days before that date were to be refunded. When I submitted written proof of this discrepency, Nationstar completely ignored the documentation and continues to state that they are correct and that they do not owe us for the lost 16 days, even though we submitted the correct payoff on the date of closing and Nationstar changed that payoff AFTER closing. If this is a legal practice, then any mortgage company could do this to any customer and steal mortgage interest from them - this could be a XXXX dollar scheme defrauding customers of their money.

Consumer complaint received 07-10-2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE (OR).
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX 2016 my house was up for foreclosure auction. I have been trying for years to get a lower mortgage to save my home. I have suffered financial hardships and proven them to the lender. They had no desire to help me save my home and have offered no help. I have complained about the lack of help before but nothing changed. Anyway I filed an emergency chapter XXXX bankruptcy to stop the foreclosure sale and was successful. I wanted lender to have more time to go over my latest refinance packet. I have the stamped piece of paper with a case number to prove that I filed before sale. I heard nothing from lender. Recently a notice appeared on my door telling me that I needed to vacate my home. The paperwork said that Nationstar bought my home back on XX/XX/XXXX and sold it the same day to an unnamed party. Both sales should not have happened. Nationstar knew about the chapter XXXX but proceeded with sale anyway. I believe they broke the law. I already believe they have unfair foreclosure practices. This was a new low. They are very crooked and very disorganized and very sneaky. The stress sometimes gets unbearable. Nationstar thinks they are above the law.

Consumer complaint received 12/13/2016 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with R3 Processing (MO).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint: I was contacted by a 3rd party called R3 Processing to consolidate my federal loans and make monthly low payments based off of my income. They told me that I would make monthly payments of {$41.00} for 240 months until my federal loans were paid off. They did consolidate my loans with a company called XXXX. XXXX in turn consolidated with my loans with XXXX. I got in contact with XXXX this morning and they told me that I was n't due to make a payment for 1 year. When I heard that, I was confused about where the {$41.00} was going exactly. XXXX informed me that 3rd parties do not have access to pay any student loans and are not responsible for them. So the {$41.00} is not going to my loans like they said they were, but going to R3 processing directly. I then called the number that R3 processing provided for me and they were both disconnected. I emailed the account manager- XXXX who I spoke to previously when I was setting up this consolidation with them, and asked him to give me a direct number to reach him. He did and I told him I got in touch with XXXX and told him what they told me about not having to make any payments for 1 year. I asked him where that money was going directly and he said it is a fee for us doing your paperwork. I was never told about any fee, and if I had knew about a fee I would of never signed up for their services. He lied about that money going towards my loans. XXXX informed me that there should never be a fee to consolidate any loans and that the 3rd party who contacted me are most likely running a scam. They also told me I can consolidate on my own at no cost.

Consumer complaint received 12/23/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (IL).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: Hello, we are working on a short sale where the servicer has made multiple errors and they are refusing to correct the issues and have taken a hard line approach since we brought up the concerns. They are pursuing a foreclosure and a short sale at the same time. 
The mtg was taken out in a trust yet in their system, and on letters sent out they show a different, incorrect mortgagor. 
They required financials from the incorrect mortgagor The XXXX approval letter they issued required no repayment but the new XXXX that was issued a few months later now require repayment of most of the balance, none of this was discussed before they issued the approval letter. When we brought up the concerns about the trust and incorrect names Fifth Third acknowledged this was an error but said " they are not going to waste their time correcting this issue unless the sellers agree to the repayment. '' After we addressed our concerns, fifth third also said our only options were to have a new agreement signed saying that the incorrect mortgagors would accept personal responsibility for the repayment and the trust would not be responsible. XXXX, the negotiator at fifth third refused to correct the errors or address our concerns further with their attorney. Her exacts word were '' if the sellers do not agree to the repayment, we will close the file ''

Consumer complaint received 03/23/2015 about Bank account or service ((CD) Certificate of deposit) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (LA).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: I went to cash in an original Certificate of Deposit from Premier/Chase bank which was issued in XX/XX/XXXX. I have received XXXX on the certificate through XXXX and none thereafter. I noticed that on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, a zero was left off of the certificate number. Chase is claiming they have no record of my certificate and therefore are not responsible for returning my earnings even though I have the original and the back was never signed. It has been confirmed through unclaimed property that the funds were never turned over to the state, therefore Chase still holds my funds. The executive Dept. of Chase bank is claiming they are not required to keep my investment records past 7 years so I just lose my money even though the certificate states automatically renewable and has no expiration date. I am assuming my money is drawing interest all these years as this is the verbage directly on the document. I have been a customer with Chase for over 30 years and have always lived in the State of Louisiana. Contacting me was never an issue. My parents currently live at the address listed on the document. I have attached a detailed timeline along with scans of the certificate, which I hold the original, and XXXX forms. As you can notice on the timeline, this has been a very lengthy process, and I have exhausted every avenue possible with Chase in order to retrieve my investment funds. Chase is claiming that the funds were abandoned since there was no activity however the funds were never turned over to unclaimed property. I am certain that purchasing an investment cd is specifically designed not to be touched in order to achieve maximum benefits which is the reason there was no activity and it clearly states " automatically renewable ''. If indeed Chase did decide these funds were abandoned, what are the guidelines they must follow to turn the funds over as unclaimed and how many years are they required to keep records? Is Chase not responsible for giving me information as to what they have done with my funds I entrusted to them as an investment? Are they allowed to " lose '' someone 's money and not be held accountable?

Consumer complaint received 02/13/2016 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with Westlake Services, LLC (MD).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: Westlake Financial has taken it upon themselves to start charging their customers {$5.00} to pay their bills with a debit or atm card. It is free to using a checking account but not everyone has a checking account and after reading about the recent government action against them from the CFPB I am not comfortable giving them my checking account information. it is also not right to charge your customers to pay their bills. XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, my apartment rental company does not charge me to go on their website and pay my bills. The company is offsetting the government action against them by making the consumer pay a fee to use their website to make, for me an auto loan payment. Westlake needs to remove the {$5.00} fee and allow their customers to pay their bills free of charge.
