Consumer complaint received 12/15/2017 about Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan (Title loan) with FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NE).
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect

Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX I paid off our auto loan with Fifth Third Bank using the final coupon from the coupon book given at the time the loan was started. This vehicle was paid off 14 months ahead of payment schedule. The date of final payoff in the coupon book is XX/XX/XXXX. I waited for 2 months to receive the title. The first part of this month ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I called Fifth Third Bank. I did not get the name of the person I talked to. I was told that even though I paid the loan off 14 months early, I still owed {$96.00} plus {$.00} interest per day until that was paid. I asked why if I had a coupon book, and I made the final payment based on the payment schedule, why would I owe more. I was told the coupon was simply an estimate and at the time of a final payment I would be advised the additional amount owed. My complaint is twofold - ( 1 ) I was not advised at the time the loan was taken out there might be more owed than what showed on the coupon book & ( 2 ) if this is valid, why when the bank received my final payment would they not advise by letter or telephone call that there was more owed -- I had to make the call 2 months later which increased the final amount owed ( if this is a legal way of doing business )? We have had many auto loans and never have dealt with such a underhanded way of doing business. Any auto loan we have had, once the final designated payment was made, a clear title was sent out immediately. I finally received a letter from Fifth Third Bank which indicates the amount owed and that {$.00} interest would be added daily until they received the final payment. I want anyone who deals with Fifth Third Bank to know that you can not trust their business practices. And I would like to know if I have any right to recover the {$96.00} plus {$.00} day interest accrued on my loan.

Consumer complaint received 12/14/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC. (TX).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I sold my house in XXXX on XX/XX/2015. My former mortgage holder, HSBC, supplied a payoff letter to the title company which was good through XXXX. A check was sent from closing to, and cashed by, HSBC within the prescribed time. The amount was as they had requested in their payoff letter, and they released their lien on the house. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX months later, HSBC sent me a bill for the amount, and started calling me XXXX times a day saying I owed them {$3200.00} more. I sent the bill to the title company, and the XXXX XXXX said that HSBC was wrong and that she would take care of it. A few days later, she said she had spent hours on the phone with them, but got absolutely nowhere. She said they do n't even show that we sold the house. They show that I made a big payment in XX/XX/2015, but that 's it. 

At this point, a year and a half after the sale, I still get harassed by numerous daily calls. HSBC has no lien on the property, which is good, but they do n't seem to understand that fact. I just received a copy of a homeowners insurance policy which they purchased in my name for the property as well. I have spent hours on the phone with them myself, but ca n't get a single person to even acknowledge that the property was transferred to another owner. Everyone I talk to at HSBC says, if effect, " there, there, if you are having trouble paying your mortgage, there are programs that can help ..., etc. '' I can never actually get to a discussion of their error because they simply read off canned responses. It is completely pointless. I just wish they would sue me so that I can counterclaim and actually fight this.

Consumer complaint received 01/15/2016 about Debt collection (Credit card) with CITIBANK, N.A. (MD).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: My wife passed away last month, she had a personal credit card and a personal account with Citibank. 

I also have myself another personal account with Citibank, where I receive my salary. On this specific account my wife was a co-signer. 

After she passed away, Citibank is now charging me the bill of her personal credit card. Which I have nothing to do with. 

She had no will or state. I do n't think this is correct Citibank trying to charge me of debits from her personal credit card.

Consumer complaint received 04/27/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint: Experian is refusing to remove a Chapter  XXXX  bankruptcy record from    2009  that I did not file. It has a reference number of "  XXXX  ''.     I have never filed for bankruptcy in my life. Money has never been a problem for me and my report clearly shows that I have never had any difficulties making payments on my debts.     I have disputed this error with Experian numerous times but they have continuously ignored my disputes as frivolous without properly addressing my claim.     They say the bankruptcy record has been verified but my report clearly shows that there have never accounts on my report that have been " included in bankruptcy ''.     How can I have a bankruptcy on my report if there are n't any accounts that show they were included in bankruptcy?     I manage my finances responsibly so it is unfair that this blemish and error in reporting by Experian continue to occur when no factual evidence can be provided as validation.

Consumer complaint received 08-09-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (ME).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Hello : My name is XXXX XXXX ; I live at XXXX, ME XXXX. My phone # is XXXX. My complaint is against Bank of America, who holds a mortgage on my condominium. BOA failed to pay my real estate taxes to the city of XXXX, which resulted in lien on my property. When I was first notified by the city about the pending lien, I called and spoke to a BOA representative who instructed me to send a cover letter with the notice from the city to BOA, and they would rectify the matter. I went to the local branch and did so, and was assured that the payment would be made. It was made, but after the due date, and thus the lien. I then spoke again to BOA representatives on couple of different occasions to see if I could procure documentation stating that BOA was at fault in not paying the taxes. My concern is that having a lien on my property, even though it has now been resolved, will reflect poorly on my credit ratings. The city is not reporting the lien, nor is BOA, but I 'm told there will still be a record of the action in my credit report. In short, this is likely to cost me interest points should I take out a loan for a major purchase such as a car or real estate. BOA can not provide documentation saying they failed to make the payment on time ; the burden is on me to contest the credit report should the lien show up, but without documentation stating what happened. This is irresponsible on the part of BOA, and it is extremely frustrating to be brushed off with boiler plate language used by the customer service representatives. " We are sorry XXXX XXXX ; we understand your concern, but there is nothing we can do because we did n't report the lien to the credit bureaus. '' I 'm not convinced this gap in payment wo n't happen again or that it is not happening to others. Can anything be done to put pressure on BOA to provide better and more professional service and to send some form of documentation that will help me corroborate my case should I need to contest the lien with the credit bureaus? 

Thank you. XXXX XXXX
