Consumer complaint received 09-05-2017 about Debt collection (I do not know) with Allied Interstate LLC (NV).
Issue: Communication tactics

Complaint: Recently moved and received new land line phone number approximately one month ago. Allied Interstate ( according to my Internet research, this is a debt collection agency ) calls almost every weekday for several weeks ( from one to four times a day ; my phone keeps a record of each call for the last 2-week period ; see attachments for screenshots ). I assume that they are seeking to speak with the prior owner of my new phone number. I picked up one call and asked for the name of the caller and purpose of the call. The caller identified himself as XXXX XXXX and refused to provide the purpose of the call indicating that it " was against the law '' to provide such information. He insisted on obtaining information from me. I refused. Calls continued to come, unabated. The company is calling from phone number : XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 09-07-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with Alliance Data Card Services (PA).
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint: I had applied for a Total Rewards Visa Credit Card through Comenity Bank located in Ohio. I called and spoke to a representative over the weekend either Saturday, XX/XX/XXXXor Sunday, XX/XX/XXXX to find out more information about a balance transfer to another credit card. XXXX, the representative who I spoke with was not too knowledgeable about providing me the accurate information and, although I started with applying for the balance transfer I requested that he wouldnt put it through until I confirmed the mailing address for my credit card company. I thought he understood what I said and that he was not going to process the transfer. However, when I checked my Total Rewards Credit Card account over the weekend I found that my account was charged. I called and spoke to another representative, XXXX, who spoke very quickly and she said that she was going to send an e-mail that if the balance transfer did go through to ensure it was sent to the mailing address I provided for my credit card company. Apparently, if she would have read the notes she would have found that XXXX sent it over to the Balance Transfer Department to cancel the request.
This morning ( XX/XX/XXXX) I called and requested to speak to a supervisor and I got connected to a very rude woman, named XXXX, who was allegedly a resolution specialist. She said that they would not be able to provide any further information for at least ten ( 10 ) days as to what the status is of the balance transfer. This is ludicrous because it is my responsibility to pay my other credit card and right now I am in limbo as to what I should pay since I do not know if and when the balance transfer is going to be applied to my credit card.
I want to escalate this complaint to someone at Comenity that is knowledgeable and cares about their customers.
I would like to know what kind of people Comenity employs that are dealing with other peoples monies? I am the innocent customer who now has to deal with the mistakes they have made at Comenity, which is certainly unfair and unacceptable to say the least.
I also have filed a complaint with the BBB of Ohio and am still in limbo as to the status of the balance transfer which should have been cancelled but, to my knowledge, is still showing as a pending charge on my account.

Consumer complaint received 06/27/2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with RoundPoint Mortgage Servicing Corporation (KY).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: I have a mortgage with RoundPoint Mortgage Company. I submitted a request to have my PMI removed and my request was denied. I tried talking to someone in customer service and they were completely clueless and unable to help at all. All of this information is based on their own documents which can be found here : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  When can I request PMI be cancelled? '' " ( 2 ) the date the principal balance actually reaches 80 % of the original value of the property '' " How do I find the original value of my property or LTV? '' " If the loan is a refinance, then the original value is the appraised value used to refinance the loan. To calculate the LTV, divide the unpaid principal balance of the loan by the propertys original value. '' Refinance Date : XXXX XXXX Appraised Value Used To Refinance The Loan : {$380000.00} Unpaid Principal Balance of the Loan : {$300000.00} Unpaid Principal Balance of the Loan / Appraised Value Used to Refinance The Loan = XXXX / XXXX = 79.93 % I do not understand why they are denying my request to have PMI removed. Thank You!

Additionally, during these processes Carrington ( CMS ) stop sending me monthly mortgage statements. They said they sent them to the attorney.

Consumer complaint received 12-11-2017 about Vehicle loan or lease (Loan) with SANTANDER CONSUMER USA HOLDINGS INC. (NY).
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Problem related to refinancing

Complaint: I was involved in an accident in XXXX which totaled my vehicle. My car insurance paid off {$3300.00} of the car, leaving me owing {$4400.00}. When they received my insurances payment, Santander took it upon themselves to lower my monthly payments instead of using that amount to cover x amount of the loan, leaving me to still have to pay for the next 3 years. Also because of the accident, it has left me in a position where Im making significantly less money. I contacted the company prior to my payments being late, and asked about deferring my loan for 3 months to get myself caught up, but I was told that I must be in default before they would be able to look into a deferment for me. When I was 30 days past due, I requested a deferment again, only to be told that I do not qualify without any explanation as to why. I have had my car loan with them for over 4 years, and have always made my payments on time. Now this is effecting my credit score, and I dont know what to do since Im so far behind that its goihg to continue to reporting 30 days late until I can pay 2 months in a row.
