Consumer complaint received 04/27/2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (FL).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: In XXXX of 2015 I asked my loan officer if it was in fact true that I could have PMI removed right after closing. He assured me via email that it would n't be a problem at all. He even went as far to say that he had just left some kind of a conference for continuing training and they talked about it there, so he was certain. This was all written through email, by the way, so I have the whole conversation documented. We closed a few weeks after that conversation. 
Fast forward a little over two months later and I decide to make the call to have it removed. I went through XXXX XXXX XXXX for the loan but the mortgage was then sold to Wells Fargo. So I reach out to Wells Fargo and they tell me that I must have 80 % LTV in order to have PMI removed. I told them I was already aware and that based on my appraisal, I already have that. They then advised me that they would have to use the lesser of the appraisal or the purchase price. Well, I got a heck of a deal so the lesser would definitely be the purchase price. I only put 5 % down so I was nowhere near the needed 80 % LTV that they want. The numbers are as follow : Appraised value : {$220000.00} Purchase price : {$170000.00} Mortgage amount : {$160000.00} Similar houses in my neighborhood are going for well over {$220000.00} so the bank clearly has no risk here in regards to the LTV. I initially reached out to Wells Fargo the first week of XXXX. The said my case 'due date ' would be XXXX XXXX. When that day came they said it would be delayed and the case will be pushed back to XXXX XXXX. When that day came they said it would be delayed and the case will be pushed back to XXXX XXXX. When that day came they said it would be delayed and the case will be pushed back to XXXX XXXX. Now here it is the XXXX and sure enough, there 's no resolution. Each time they pushed the case back I would ask specifically what are they doing or trying to decide? They would always respond with a vague answer and just say " this is normal ''. 
The PMI portion makes up {$80.00} of my payment. This may not seem like much to some people, but my budget is extremely tight already. I ca n't afford to be manipulated and lied to and lose {$80.00} per month.

Consumer complaint received 05/17/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with AES/PHEAA (FL).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Complaint: I was told that it would be beneficial to consolidate my student loans since I was applying for the   XXXX    Loan Forgiveness. I called to verify that my consolidation would not affect by Bankruptcy Forbearance and was told it would not. Now, I am receiving a bill for {$1500.00} and was told that the loan was disbursed after my bankruptcy filing and was not included in the bankruptcy. I am currently in the middle of my Chapter   XXXX  repayment and my bankruptcy will not be  discharged  until  2019 . The provider acknowledged that I was provided incorrect information but told me there was nothing they could do. My only recourse was to contact my attorney. I am in the process of working with my attorney but this needs to be resolved. I was given incorrect information with a significant financial impact. FedLoan.org needs to be sanctioned and ordered to reinstate my bankruptcy forbearance. This predatory behavior is despicable and must be terminated immediately.

Consumer complaint received 08-09-2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Statebridge Company (CT).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX We sent Statebridge Company {$1500.00} in certified funds. We sent the payment XXXX and Statebridge received and signed for the funds on XXXX XXXX at XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, 2015 i contacted Statebridge via a phone call. The customer represenative said they did not receive payment and have no record of any payment. The representative said she refused to speak with me unless I rescinded a Cease and Desist order they received XXXX XXXX I faxed them a letter on XXXX XXXX, 2015 rescinding the Cease and Desist Order. I called Statebridge again on XXXX XXXX, 2015 and the representative indicated they did receive the rescinded a Cease and Desist Order. The representative once again denied receiving the payment. I reminded her that The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) has issued the final rules that implement residential mortgage reforms of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. And one of the rules pertain to prompt-payment crediting. Servicers must promptly credit payments from borrowers as of the day of receipt, including principal, interest, and escrow. If a payment is received that is less than the amount due, the servicer may hold the payment in a suspense account until the amount in the suspense account covers the periodic payment. Statebridge has violated the rules pertaining to prompt-payment crediting to a consumers account. 
We have been charged additional interest on our account because of Statebridges violation of the CFPB rules by not crediting the consumers account

Consumer complaint received 07/22/2016 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (GA).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: I keep disputing XXXX particular accounts with Equifax that have not yet been resolved to my satisfaction. The XXXX account is a collection account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Initially when I first saw this item on my credit report, I was unfamiliar with it and almost 100 % sure that I had never dealt with this company before. However, I just went ahead and paid it. This account was paid over the phone by credit card to XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX. The amount was {$75.00}, however I paid an additional {$9.00} fee due to the fact I used my debit card. A grand total of {$84.00} was paid. I was assured that this would take care of the debt and the account would be deleted from my Equifax credit file. Unfortunately, it has been over 2 months and this item still reports as an unpaid collection account. I have disputed this item at least twice yet it is remaining unchanged. I have my bank statement and a receipt from the company proving that this account was paid in full. The next item that I have disputed multiple times without resolve is with XXXX. This account is also a collection account. There are several issues with this account. First, this account was removed last year but was reinserted on all XXXX credit files. Secondly, I knew nothing of this collection account until I started doing credit monitoring using XXXX XXXX. I was not familiar with the collection agency or original creditor nor had I ever been contacted by either. I later researched this account by tracking down and contacting the original creditor to determine if this was in fact a valid debt. Upon contacting the original creditor, I did determine that the debt was valid and immediately made payment to the original creditor by phone. Upon a closer look by the representative for XXXX XXXX, it was found that they had the wrong address and phone number for me that is why a debt from XXXX slipped through the cracks. When I was in XXXX, I had so many doctors coming in and out who were not my doctors but they still had fees for providing care to me. This is what caused me to question what was being reported on my credit report. Nevertheless, once I paid the {$210.00} over the phone to the original creditor, I contacted the collection agency and notified them of the payment. I dealt with a very rude woman who did not seem happy that I paid the original creditor. As a precaution, when I saw no changes, I disputed this account information. I even attached a file that contained the receipt from the original creditor. XXXX and XXXX deleted the account but it was still reporting as unpaid on Equifax end. I disputed again but the online system was having issues with my attachment ( receipt ), so I submitted it without the recipt. This time it was updated to paid. However, this account should have been removed from my file because it was reinserted and I had no dealings with the collection agency. This account was removed in XXXX of XXXX and reinserted XXXX of XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 10/15/2016 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY).
Issue: Credit monitoring or identity protection
Sub-issue: Billing dispute

Complaint: Paid {$29.00} for credit reports from XXXX credit bureaus through Transunion 's website. When purchasing these credit reports, they never once made it clear that I was enrolling in a 7 day free subscription in which I would be charged {$19.00} plus tax at the end of. I would have never agreed to these terms had I known. These terms could possibly be in the pages upon pages of terms and conditions but it is definitely not evident or displayed where they want you to see it and is very fraudulent for a reputable company like Transunion to participate in. Many others have complained of this on the internet. I think action should be taken and they should be held responsible for offering refunds to those scammed into this 7 day " free '' trial!

Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: This company is not removing a negative credit inquiry from my credit reports. The account & delinquency is from 2004.

Consumer complaint received 10-02-2016 about Credit card () with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (NJ).
Issue: Transaction issue

Complaint: Every time I am trying to login to my account to make a payment the system does not let me do that. It does not let me to reset my password. When I call customer service they tell me to try again in 30 minutes. I know I am entering the correct credentials, because I store them in my own password database. This is a very bad practice of forcing customers to be late with the payment and charge them late payment fees!

Consumer complaint received 11-02-2017 about Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan (Payday loan) with Kashia Services (OH).
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Complaint: I was contacted by an employee who works in payroll for my company. She asked if I authorized XXXX from XXXX XXXX to garnish my wages. I responded that I certainly did not authorize this and that XXXX XXXX definitely did not have a court order authorizing wage garnishment. I asked for a copy of the paperwork and she forwarded it to me. I 've attached a copy of the " Wage Assignment Demand Notice. '' I 've placed " XXXX '' in place of my name and personal information along with the name and address of the company I work for. I can provide a copy of the unedited wage garnishment if requested along with the email from the Human Resources professional in my company who originally received this notice. Thankfully, my payroll department did not process this notice but I 'm concerned that other companies with less experienced payroll processing may have fallen for this illegal tactic. 

I am still considering my legal options here as this appears to be a very clear violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act. I suspect this is a common tactic with this creditor as a quick XXXX search reveals many other people who have fallen victim to this.

Consumer complaint received 02-06-2017 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with KONDAUR CAPITAL CORPORATION (TX).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: The whole purpose of the suit is due to wrongful foreclosure on XXXX XXXX, 2015. We have challenged Kondaur the proof of the matter, they refused to show up for Federal Court to prove themselves to be right in the First place. This was discussed on several occasions. They could not provide to us any evidence. Therefore, they did show up for Federal Court, nor did they respond to XXXX because Kondaur did not have any proof their only proof is to evaded in every way. The fact that Kondaur breach the loan modification and forbearance plan is evident enough. 
This case should not have escalated to this status. All Kondaur had to do was to continue the modification that was set forth by XXXX and continue to accept my payments {$1100.00}.. We disagree with the opinion of the court, we had requested a mediation and trial in person. Further documents will be filed as suggested.
