Consumer complaint received 08/31/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (MD).
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: Dear Sir or Madam, I am a long time customer of Suntrust Bank in XXXX, Md. I am seeking your assistance with an issue I am having with Suntrust. 
In XXXX I met with the XXXX Branch manager, XXXX XXXX XXXX, VP who offered to open a new credit card account with Suntrust and to move a balance I had with XXXX XXXX XXXX onto the new account which would be interest free for a period of 12 months. The account was opened and I began making payments against the balance that was posted to the account which I believed had been paid off at XXXX XXXX XXXX and added onto the new Suntrust credit card account. 
Suntrust did NOT pay off the account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I allowed some time, thinking there might be a slight delay to allow for mailing, handling and administration. When I got my new XXXX statement from XXXX XXXX XXXX showing that the account had still NOT been paid off by Suntrust I called Suntrust and went in to see the branch manager, XXXX XXXX again yesterday, XXXX XXXX. 
While she was helpful, she was not able to resolve this issue and declined to credit my new Suntrust credit card account for the amount that Suntrust applied to the account without paying off my XXXX XXXX XXXX balance. She tells me that they will have to research what happened and find out what happened to the check they say they issued to pay the balance at XXXX XXXX XXXX. In the meantime I now still have a balance at XXXX XXXX XXXX incurring interest and I have a balance at Suntrust that I DO NOT OWE them and that she tells me I need to continue to pay on. 
I am sure that Suntrust will attempt to resolve this issue but, at the moment, I am in a situation that is untenable and do not believe is my problem to resolve. I believe Suntrust should have immediately credited my Suntrust account while they do their research and figure out what happened. I certainly do not think I should have a balance due at Suntrust since they did not pay off my XXXX XXXX XXXX account. If they succeed in paying off my XXXX XXXX XXXX account in the future then they can charge my new Suntrust account at that time. 
I would appreciate any assistance you can provide in resolving this issue. I can be reached at XXXX. 
Thank you

Consumer complaint received 12/31/2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Blackrock Mitigation Group LLC (TX).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Threatened to take legal action

Complaint: On approximately XX/XX/2016 I was contacted by a person who claimed to be a courier. He stated he had an important paper for me. When I asked what he stated " maybe a summons '' I asked who he was delivering it for and he provided me a phone number. I called the number and spoke to a representative who stated that they were a pre litigation company and were contacting me to see if I wanted to pay the bill owed to XXXX . He further stated that he worked with an attorney in the office who represented XXXX and that he would see if they would take a settlement. This representative never informed me they were a debt collector and that they were attempting to collect a debt. They stated that XXXX may still want to take me to court even if I paid. Fearing a lawsuit I paid them {$980.00} with a credit card. The representative further stated that they would send me a letter to submit to the credit bureau 's to have the charge off removed by XXXX. When I did this the charge off was not removed. I called XXXX and they stated that they had sold the debt to Blackrock and that the charge off would remain on my credit bureau for 7 years. I paid Blackrock under the believe by their statements that they were attorneys planing to sue me and that by paying the debt I would have the charge-off removed from my credit report.

Consumer complaint received 02-11-2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with CL HOLDINGS LLC (VA).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not disclosed as an attempt to collect

Complaint: JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYSTEMS repeatedly continues to re-age a debt that have been disputed for years. When it is removed from XXXX credit reporting agency it is placed on another. This company have never every sent any documentation to me to alert of a debt prior to posting. 

I have repeatedly told the credit bureaus that this company never provided written documentation prior to reporting this debt. 

This is a form of harassment and each and every time this company, JEFFERSON CAPITAL SYSTEMS list this debt it cause my credit score to drop, sometime XXXX plus points. 

This company is attempting to completely ruin my life and my credit and they have no right to do so. 

I have never received any written documentation from this company about this debt. Nor do they notify in writing the many times they have placed the deb on all three credit bureaus. 

This is outright harassment to just continue to place the debt on credit reports because you can with no sense of or understanding you are causing the individual 's credit to plummet each time. 

It gets removed from one account and moved to another. I believed since XXXX 2015, this account has been place on all XXXX credit bureaus and some more than once after being removed. Therefore if the account has been removed time and time again it has to be a case that needs someone to look into it and understand why this is happening.

Consumer complaint received 12/20/2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with MORGAN STANLEY & CO. LLC (IN).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: In 2011, we lost our home in XXXX XXXX, Indiana, in a short sale. Our mortgages were being held by XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. Neither of these companies still exist ( or so we have been told ).  We lived in Illinoos at that time and recently received a letter from the Treasurer of Illinois that they are holding funds as unclaimed property due to an Insurance claim that was submitted on our behalf as a result of the final inspection of the property ( something apparently to do with hail damage to the roof ). 

Since the funds are assigned to both mortgage companies listed above as well as ourselves, how is it possible to receive these funds? 

Is there anything at all that can be done?

Consumer complaint received 02-06-2018 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with LoanCare, LLC (FL).
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint: I bought my house for {$250000.00} and currently owe {$230000.00} on it. I realize that I do not have 80 % equity to remove the PMI, however I am confident that my house will appraise for {$330000.00} which will give me the 75 % equity that LoanCare requires in order to remove the PMI. On XX/XX/XXXX, I emailed the escrow department at LoanCare stating that my house recently appraised for {$330000.00}. I asked if I could submit that appraisal report or if I needed to order a reappraisal through them. I received an automatic response that they would get back to me within 5 business days and that my reference number is XXXX 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I called LoanCare because I did not receive any follow up within the 5 business days. Customer service rep # XXXX apologized for this and said that he would make sure that someone wrote me back by the EOD on XX/XX/XXXX.

As of the morning of XX/XX/XXXX I still have not received any correspondence so I called LoanCare again. This time they said that they guarantee a response by XX/XX/XXXX. The customer service rep said that I would receive a denial or acceptance to remove the PMI. I explained to her that I do not currently have 80 % equity in the house and would need a re-appraisal. She said that I would have to wait to get a denial letter and that would explain how to file the paperwork for an appraisal. 

I feel LoanCare is purposely making me wait 30 days before helping me remove PMI. In addition, I am upset that they never followed up within 5 days as their automatic email reply stated. Also, both customer service reps told me something different so what is the real policy?

Consumer complaint received 06/28/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (DE).
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: My old/ previous student loans are being reported on my credit report twice as derogatory accounts. Same accounts are reported by XXXX XXXX and then again by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. All of my student loans were refinanced and consolidated into 1 loan in XX/XX/XXXX, but yet my credit report is showing that I am in default with a balance of {$32.00}. Prior to me refinancing my loan it was in forbearance, prior to my loan being in forbearance I was enrolled in automatic payment which saved me .25 % in the interest rate. I spoke to a customer service rep that assured me that once the loan was out of forbearance the automatic payments would simply continue and I would n't have to do anything. Somehow my loan was transferred from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX and then from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I never received a notice of this transfer or any changes until I received a transferred call from my supervisor at work. I immediately refinanced the loan after in XX/XX/XXXX. I am now informed that the call made to my supervisor informing him of my student loan being in default was illegal and violated quite a few laws and I will most likely be pursuing legal action. Either way there should n't have never been any negative reporting on my credit and most certainly not after the XX/XX/XXXX refinance because my loan has remained in auto payment with XXXX XXXX and remained in auto pay even after the current loan was transferred to XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 04/18/2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with U.S. BANCORP (IL).
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint: Multiple charges were incorrectly debited from my account due to merchant error. I disputed the ones I could not resolve on my own and resolved the rest with the merchant. These charges resulted in overdraft fees. US Bank informed me that I would not need to dispute the charge to get the overdraft fees refunded if I resolved the issue on my own. US Bank has only issued a refund of only some of the charges and I have been trying for the past two months to resolve the rest with no luck. Every department/group believes it is someone else 's responsibility or a customer service rep will inform me that refunds are being processed only to find out this is not true. I can count at least XXXX separate phone calls from me to US Bank trying to resolve this. 

US Bank does not provide statements that show an accurate or reliable way to account for overdrafts due to " holds '' or debits. This is also causes the consumer to not get an accurate understanding of the account.

Consumer complaint received 11/25/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with Ditech Financial LLC (CA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: Ditech/GreenTree loan # XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX CA XXXXShort Sale was started with Ditech/GreenTree XX/XX/2015. 

XX/XX/XXXX we received a counter XXXXXX/XX/2015 we called Ditech/GreenTree to get a copy of the BPO. Their phone system hung up on us. Sent and email to the negotiator instead ( see notes ) XX/XX/XXXX we were tol the borrower had to call customer service to get a copy of the valuation in writing. 

XX/XX/2015 the borrower has called multiple times and left many voicemails. No one at Ditech/GreenTree will call him back. 
***ECOA ViolationXX/XX/2015 we sent a new offer package to Ditech/GreenTree via fax - the same fax number they have been using for several years, and throughout their change to 'Ditech'XX/XX/2015 Ditech/GreenTree told us to refax the offer package a to different fax number - XXXXXX/XX/2015 we spoke with " XXXX ''. XXXX said they still did n't have the docs we have already faxed twice. When we asked for a correct fax number, he laughed at us and said he did n't care that we had to keep refaxing the docs. He gave us yet another ( third ) fax number for the documents. They have been refaxed - this is the THIRD time they have been faxed to Ditech/GreenTree. 

We fully expect Ditech/GreenTree ( whatever they are calling themselves this week ) to tell the CFPB that we are lying. We know the CFPB has received LOTS of these same type of complaints. And I bet Ditech/GreenTree says the same exact thing every time. 

The simple facts are these:1. Ditech/GreenTree refuses to follow ECOA Guidelines regarding giving the borrower a copy of the value done in the decisioning process of their loan. 
2. Ditech/GreenTree is OBSTRUCTIVE in the short sale process. 
3. Ditech/GreenTree purposely defrauds their clients and their representatives. 

***When is Ditech/GreenTree going to be shut down and put in jail??? If I were to behave this way I would be FIRED, PROSECUTED, AND SENT TO JAIL!!

Consumer complaint received 10-07-2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MO).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: Bank of America inconsistently deducts monthly maintenance fees from my checking account on arbitrary days. I attempted to discuss and resolve this issue with them today ; however, they could not provide any logical explanation as to why this date varies from month to month. This inconsistency creates a financial burden, impacts my budget and makes it difficult to keep my account balanced.
