Consumer complaint received 01/26/2017 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CT).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: On or about XX/XX/2017, I went to the Wells Fargo Branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, CT with a friend. Both he and I have accounts with the bank in that branch. My friend was going to deposit a payroll check made payable to his father, who also has accounts at Wells. The check was legally endorsed " Pay to the order of XXXX XXXX '' and signed by the payee XXXX XXXX. XXXX signed the check under his signature and tried to deposit it in his account. The bank flatly refused to accept the item for deposit saying the payee of the check HAD to be physically present. 
It is my understanding, and I was also told by a Wells Fargo Customer Service phone rep that once endorsed over to XXXX, he could legally deposit the item in his account. 
The manager and branch personnel were adamant that " there is nothing we can do. '' Aside from the rude manner in which we were treated, the manager and branch personnel inferred ( and all but came out and said ) the item was a bogus item and we were trying to somehow scam the bank. Based on Wells Fargo 's HISTORY of scamming the public with falsely opened accounts, fees, employee quota systems, etc. I found this reprehensible. 
My question is : Can the bank refuse to honor an item that is properly and legally endorsed over to a third party, and an item by it 's endorsement, that he legally has the right to? What are my options with regard to taking any action against the bank or branch personnel. I was unable to obtain the names of the personnel involved as they stated when asked " we do n't give out last names or other staff information. ''

Complaint: I opened a XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX 2016. To date each payment has been on time. I had XXXX returned payments, which I made up, the payments cleared.

Consumer complaint received 11/16/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with SANTANDER BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: In 2012 we applied for a loan modification to Sovereign on a fixed interest mortgage on our {$750000.00} loan in 2012 due to extraordinary hardship due to downturn in our business as architects and engineers. The interest is 6.25 %. We were denied a loan modification due to some minor issue in the application and were asked to reapply. We ended up reapplying and getting denied about 4 times. The last time we were rejected on a very trivial issue. We complained to supervisors but to no avail. Then almost immediately the mortgage processing was taken over by Santander Bank ( when we called them to apply for loan modification it was the exact same staff as Sovereign Bank ). We were so upset we gave up till now. We have been struggling due to the economic downturn we ended up being a few days late on some mortgage on XXXX occasions. This has prevented us from getting refinanced, also because our income has reduced due to the downturn, we are not able to qualify for current loan refinances. 
We feel that all the interest we have been paying is unfairly charged. We should have been given a loan modification but were denied unfairly. We would like a loan reduction and refinance to a low interest rate. We currently owe {$630000.00} and {$48000.00} second fixed at 7.95 % interest to XXXX XXXX XXXX which was financed at the same time by our original loan broker as an interest only loan which comes due 2018. We still owe the {$50000.00}.

Consumer complaint received 04-11-2017 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with PNC Bank N.A. (WA).
Issue: Settlement process and costs

Complaint: In 2010 I had financial trouble and asked for a refinance for lower payments, which they did but I had to sign a lien against my house for over XXXX dollars which is due when my house is paid off. Only XXXX actually went towards my home. The other XXXX the bank PNC Mortgage kept for themselves, I 'm assuming for the fees they charge. I have always been bitter about this and just recently learned about CFPB. Maybe someone can look into what they did and see if it was legitimate.

Consumer complaint received 10-05-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL).
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: Experian, XXXX, and XXXX all have previously incorrectly reported my account on Florida Child Support. I made XXXX payments directly to my former wife of XXXX per month. On XXXX XXXX I went to XXXX Court and provided proof of payments to XXXX XXXX. 
The court amended my child support ledger to zero owed. This is a matter of record in the Florida Dept. of Revenue Website and the court which supervises same. 
The Credit bureaus refuse to correct their record, or add a statement from me which does same. They are required to delete disputed information within 30 days. They failed to comply. 
The years of inaccurate reporting caused me damage in threats to take my drivers license by the state, the actual taking of my passport ( which took all year and legal fees to rectify ), and a loss of several job opportunities abroad which we substantial. 
Perhaps a fine or sanction for them would deter future abuse of credit reportees?

Consumer complaint received 07-07-2016 about Debt collection (Mortgage) with Seterus, Inc. (NY).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint: My home mortgage loan was sold to a company called Seterus Inc . In late XX/XX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX we fell behind in our mortgage. In late XX/XX/XXXX Seterus offered us a refinance agreement and started a 3 month trial. During this 3 month trial which we completed successfully, Seterus representatives continually called, This week ( XX/XX/XXXX ) twice already, the first representative stated that he was calling to collect a debt, without checking to see that I had spoken to a representative the week before and discussed the refinance package that was sent to me. I have until XXXX XXXX to respond and yet they still call me constantly. Some representatives have been threatening, telling me that if I do n't provide a repayment date or plan they will foreclose on my house, even though I was complying with their refinance package. I also receive as many as 3 letters a day making the same statements. This company appears to use scare tactics and threats in order to force home owners to make rash decisions. Furthermore when I state that I would like to consult an attorney, they imply that they will go forward with a foreclosure action. This company has been bullying me for 6 months, and even though I have resigned to agree to their terms without consultation they still call and harass me. I thought this type of action was no longer legal.

Consumer complaint received 08/30/2017 about Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service (Domestic (US) money transfer) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (GA).
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint: I am trying to recover the rest of my money that has been transferred and embezzled out of my Wells Fargo business account. The embezzler was paying off a fraudulent credit card by using said account, completely unauthorized to do so. This has been an ongoing battle for around 2 years with no satisfaction and am only ever told it is under review. My business account has been previously closed XXXX times due to fraud performed internally. Now, this time, it has been by my previous employee. 
I have made numerous attempts on many occasions to be reimbursed. It is obvious, by all records concerned XXXX even including an admittance letter of fraud from Wells Fargo XXXX that this was embezzlement and has put me in financial hardships, caused immense mental anguish, as well as almost put me out of business. I have tried to speak with someone from Wells Fargo on countless occasions to resolve this issue to no avail and have even employed a lawyer to send a demand letter requesting reimbursement. I do not want to go to the expense of filing a law suit unless it is absolutely necessary. 
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Consumer complaint received 12-06-2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with Accelerated Financial Solutions, LLC (TN).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language

Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX called me at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2017 from a deceptive phone number XXXX. They are not a local company to my area. As soon as I answered the phone a man started asking me why I had n't paid my payment arrangement. I asked who he was with and said that I have never made any payment arrangements with anyone for anything. I asked him what he was talking about and he said I had made payment arrangements and did n't pay them. He said I was on recording making those arrangements and I repeatedly told him that I have never made arrangements with anyone for anything because I did n't know what he was talking about. I asked him to send me a copy of the recording if what he was saying was true. He told me " No, I do n't have to ''. I then told him that under Federal law, he had to send me proof of anything he was claiming. He then told me that I did n't know what I was talking about and to shut my mouth. He said that I needed to pay my bills and to shut up and get off his phone. He then hung up on me. He was very verbally abusive to me and called while I was at work and would not agree to validate anything he was claiming.

Consumer complaint received 09-05-2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with MOHELA (MI).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint: We are trying to make additional principal payments monthly on top to the auto debit payments. We call the customer service center to make the additional payment. When we do this the auto debit get allocated incorrectly. We then have to make at least three additional phone calls to fix this. During this time more interest has accrued on the loan which diminishes our ability to pay the lone off quickly. This is a consolidated loan, which we where told that we can indicate which balance we want to apply the additional principal reduction to. Very frustrating and seems like a scheme to keep us paying on these loans longer. 

Customer service is always very friendly and helpful although they can never fix the issue.

Consumer complaint received 09/27/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (FL).
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint: After the Equifax security breech, I checked the site to see if I had been affected. I had been affected by the incident. I tried several times by phone and the online site to place a security freeze on my credit information. The message I got was to mail my information and request that Equifax place a freeze as they were unable to process my request by either the automated phone line or the online form. I did not feel comfortable sending my information by mail to the company that compromised my information in the first place. 
The one live person that I reached by phone told me that she did not know the number for me to call to directly freeze my credit with live help. She said she could only give me the number to signup for their credit monitoring service ( which I would never subscribe to ). 
Should it be this difficult to sign up for a credit freeze? 
I want Equifax to freeze my credit information without having to submit additional personal information. 
They are making it very difficult to give me the peace of mind by freezing my credit. This should be my right.
