Consumer complaint received 03-12-2017 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with FREEDOM MORTGAGE COMPANY (IN).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I have a FHA loan with Freedom Mortgage and my mortgage insurance was scheduled to fall off on XX/XX/2017 I have called several different times to confirm this date. I 've been staying one month ahead on my payments so last month I called because I was wanting to make my XXXX payment, but the online site was still showing the mortgage insurance was still included on the payment. So I called a customer service agent with Freedom Mortgage who checked and verified the date of XX/XX/2017 and stated that was correct, and that the online site had just not updated yet since I was a month ahead, and told me my payment would go from {$420.00} to {$380.00} so if I wanted to I could go ahead and pay the {$380.00} and that it would probably be better to mail it than pay online so she mailed me out another statement and said it would't hurt to make a note on it that the mortgage insurance was due to fall off on XX/XX/2017 I was paying for XXXX so it was no longer due and that this was my new amount. Well I decided to just wait and let my payments catch up and it would update on it 's own, So I received my XXXX bill and it still does n't reflect the amount that is to fall off. So I call again on XX/XX/2017 and that agent tells me that I need to request for the mortgage insurance to remove in writing and mail or fax it to them. That really upset me, I told her I just spoke to an agent the previous month & what she had told me, so she said she would talk to her supervisor to see about having it expedited. when she returned to the phone she said her supervisor stated that the mortgage insurance payments ran a month behind so I would have to pay them for XXXX and it should be updated before my XXXX payment.I told her I did n't agree with that that a date was set of XX/XX/2017 and that should be the date they honor & that I would find someone to check into this matter for me to see if what they are saying is true or not.

Consumer complaint received 08-05-2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC (TX).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: Carrington Mortgage Services did not follow thru on the HAMP modification that was applied for thru XXXX XXXX. They stated that the 3 month trial period would be as long as 10 months because they were too busy to look at it from acquiring too many loans from XXXX XXXX XXXX.

A good bye letter was received but no welcome letter ever came. Every month required a phone call to Carrington to make the trial modification payments which were XXXX more than the regular monthly payment. Numerous calls to Carrington with poor or inaccurate information have occurred. Carrington ultimately denied the modification due to liens they stated were attached to the property.

Consumer complaint received 05/21/2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with Professional Debt Mediation, Inc. (GA).
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Complaint: I am giving Professional Debt Mediation an opportunity to remedy its complicity in assisting  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  to violate both Federal Law and Florida Statues in an effort to sabotage my credit file on behalf of the local authorities in retaliation for my efforts to address the Federally institutionalized denial of Due Process for groups protected under Federal Fair Housing Laws. As specified in Florida  Statute 83.49 ( 3 ) ( a ) (   www.leg.state.fl.us ) :  " Upon the vacating of the premises for termination of the lease, if the landlord does not intend to impose a claim on the security deposit, the landlord shall have 15 days to return the security deposit together with interest if otherwise required, or the landlord shall have 30 days to give the tenant written notice by certified mail to the tenants last known mailing address of his or her intention to impose a claim on the deposit and the reason for imposing the claim ... .If the landlord fails to give the required notice within th e 30-day period, he or she forfeits the right to impose a claim upon the security deposit and may not seek a setoff against the deposit but may file an actio n for damages after return of the deposit. '' As indicated in the attached official Confirmation of my address change from the United Postal Service, my mail was forwarded from the address specified in the fraudulent itemized bill from  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  as of  X/XX/2016   . Moreover, I was signed up for automated notification of any mail sent to me that might include tracking information, as is the case with Certified Mail, until after I moved to my new apartment in  XXXX  o f 2016. H ence, if the creditor had indeed fulfilled its obligations under Fl orida Statutes to sen d notification to my last known address of its intent to impose a claim on my deposit via Certified Mail, I would have either received the notice at the residence specified in my change of address Confirmation ( my grandmothers ) or I would have have been notified about it by the  USPS via  text and email.

Consumer complaint received 05-08-2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with U.S. BANCORP (MN).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: I have been applying for a mortgage through US Bank. I use a local bank and they sell their loans to US Bank. The Underwriting team at US Bank has been completely unprofessional throughout the process. Whenever they have requested documents I have provided them in a timely manner. After that happens the underwriting team changes what they need. They have been unavailable for any discussion and continually put my loan request at the back of the pile with no regard for my scheduled closing date. My closing was scheduled for last Thursday at XXXX. At XXXX that day, obviously 4 hours prior to closing, US Bank made up a new issue that prevented me from closing. I immediately took care of that issue, and yet we are now a full week since that time and the Underwriter is showing no urgency at getting back to my file. I am sitting and waiting. I feel that this is an unacceptable way to treat a customer, and simply an unacceptable way to treat a human. When I have tried to resolve the matter with US Bank they tell me that they can not help me without a loan number, but my issue is the failure from US Bank at processing my loan request so I can not provide a loan number. It also takes a full week for US Bank to respond asking me for my loan number on a complaint involving them not finalizing my loan. I wish I had a loan number, if that were the case I would not have a complaint. I would like US Bank to treat me as a valued human being and resolve my issue.

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I called and spoke with " XXXX '' who told me I could NOT have the late fee credited because my account was closed.

Consumer complaint received 03-03-2017 about Bank account or service ((CD) Certificate of deposit) with CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (NY).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: In XXXX XXXX, I was asked by a Citizens Bank Investment Counselor XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to take my IRA Account of {$93000.00} and invest my retirement funds with Citizen Investment Services and was orally quoted that my retirement account would yield ( at least ) 8 % OR greater but no less than 8 percent annually. The income would then be posted on the XXXX anniversary date of the investment. I became worried and very upset upon getting monthly statements from this new investment put forth by XXXX XXXX XXXX. In fact, my $ XXXX investment within months showed a decrease in excess of {$4000.00}. I became so upset when receiving statement after statement with a huge loss of my retirement funds, I made several phone calls and e-mails to XXXX XXXX who explained that when ( in XXXX XXXX ) the posting of my first anniversary dividend ... that I would see a huge dividend and increase to my investment. I really thought XXXX XXXX was being honest with me, however, I soon learned that he lied to me about the return on my investment and too, that an investment friend whom I later became associated with told me about FINRA, an organization that keeps track of investment brokers, etc. Much to my surprise, XXXX XXXX had a complaint lodged against him for which he was found responsible for and too made to make restitution of {$9100.00}. I did file a complaint with XXXX XXXX 's parent company located in Massachusetts, however, they too, replied to me with bold face lies as to the scenario of events and too, what XXXX XXXX told me. In fact, to prove my point, XXXX XXXX, probably through a mistake copied my entire file he had on me, sent to to an investment broker and included a brochure which stated that the investment could yield better than 8 % or better. This proved that I did not just make up the percentage return on my IRA investment nor that I fabricated anything. I just received my XXXX XXXX Statement and AFTER SIX YEARS, my principal balance increased ONLY {$10.00}. Citizens Investment Services USED my {$93000.00} and probably earned 30 % or better. This is morally, ethically and criminal. Lastly, I did find out that the Security and Exchange Commission has repeatedly fined the Citizens Group of wrongful acts among its many spin-off subsidiaries. I NEED YOUR HELP to get my investment back together with the dividend income promised me, since inception. I am enclosing several documents and can give you the name of someone who has additional information in this matter.

Consumer complaint received 01/23/2017 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with PLANET HOME LENDING, LLC (IL).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I am again having issues with the mortgage company Planet Home Lending, affiliate of XXXX. We were sent to this company for collections that we would not have have been in if XXXX would not have refused our payments for over a year. Again they accepted one and not others. So we were placed with a collection agency, who are now saying they did n't receive a payment for XXXX XXXX, the payment was sent the end of XXXX, however the other payment submitted in XXXX was also refused. The check was cashed on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. We also had to send the modification papers in with the pay difference because this company has raised our payments from {$570.00} to {$680.00}, claiming it is for court cost lawyer fees etc. This would not have been the case if these companies would have kept the payments they received every month. I am a little concerned on whether this complaint will get results, I just talked to the company and was told the person handling the complaint is not in the office and no one else is taking his work load. 
His name is XXXX XXXX, So I asked how this business is being ran? One person that handles complaints and they are not answered in the allotted time. Again I think this is an issue and not acceptable thru FHA guidelines. 
Thank you for your time, XXXX XXXX

Complaint: I requested Equifax to verify a tax lien on my credit report. Case No. XXXX.
