Consumer complaint received 10/14/2015 about Credit card () with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (LA).
Issue: Other

Complaint: I legally settled a credit card account with Wells Fargo Bank on XXXX/XXXX/14. The balance at time of settlement was {$13000.00} and I paid, per our settlement agreement, {$6700.00}. The amount they subsequently wrote off was {$6700.00}. I have attached a Satisfaction letter from Wells Fargo as proof that the account is fully satisfied, however, Wells Fargo continues to report a balance in the amount of {$6700.00} for this account to my credit report at all XXXX of the major credit reporting agencies XXXX XXXX XXXX. Obviously this is harming my credit significantly. I have disputed this account both with the credit reporting agencies and, subsequently directly with Wells Fargo but they arrogantly do not respond to me with explanation and continue to reporting this balance, even though they clearly know they are reporting in error. To my understanding, this is a blatant violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I have also attached the XXXX letters that I sent directly to Wells Fargo, informing them of their error in reporting.

Consumer complaint received 10/13/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with MOVEMENT MORTGAGE LLC (GA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2016, my partner and I closed on a new home. We are both first time home buyers. Our mortgage company at closing was Movement Mortgage. Our first payment had not even come due when I received a letter from Movement Mortgage dated XXXX XXXX, 2016, stating that our mortgage was being transferred to another entity, XXXX XXXX. The letter stated that the official transfer date was to be XXXX XXXX, 2016. On XXXX XXXX I registered with the new lender 's payment site, which had all my info and reflected my current due payment for XXXX, and paid our first payment. I thought everything was fine until, on XXXX XXXX, I received a letter dated XXXX XXXX from Movement Mortgage stating that the transfer did not go through for the date expected and implied that our first payment should go to Movement. I called Movement 's customer service line and was told that our first payment should have come to them and the payment we made to XXXX was supposed to be our second payment. The Movement rep said he put in a request to have the payment transferred to Movement. I did not have high confidence in this individual, so I called XXXX and was told that our loan was successfully transferred to them and we actually did pay our first payment. Confused, I called Movement back and got the same rep ( his name is XXXX ). I asked him to confirm who owned our loan, and he just repeated several times that it would take 48 hours to hear back from the other lender. I asked to speak to a supervisor and he refused to transfer me. I hung up, having received very little help, and contacted the loan officer that originated our mortgage, who provided way more assistance, but I am still at this time left with very confusing information.

Consumer complaint received 02/22/2018 about Checking or savings account (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA).
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email that my bank account balance fell below {$25.00}. Upon checking my account balance I saw there were unauthorized transactions. There were 4 cash withdrawals for {$100.00} and one for {$42.00}. I immediately called Bank of America and reported the fraud. The associate at Bank of America was able to spot everything without me having to explain it and put in the claim. He told me there'd be a temporary credit issued and when everything was done the temporary credit would become permanent. 

Approximately 2 months later having not received any correspondence from Bank of America they reverse the temporary credit and denied my claim. When I called to question why they did this they said they couldn't find a single transaction for the total dollar amount. Despite it being several transactions and their employee is the one who found them and put them in the system they were unable to identify the transaction. 

At that time they opened another claim and the Bank of America associate put in each individual transaction and gave me the same speech that this would be a temporary credit that wants to process with simply did it would be a permanent credit. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I was notified that they denied my second claim. When I called in to find out why they claimed the transactions were authorized by me and that my account balance never fell below {$2500.00}. I never had anywhere near {$2500.00} in that account. When I pointed that out to the associate on the phone they said they were not able to find when my account fell below {$400.00} despite me having received an email that says the balance fell below {$25.00}. 

When I explain to him that I was at work all day over an hour and a half away from where I work. So he asked me to fax in my timecard showing I was at work. I did this. I called 3 days later and there is no notes that he opened my claim for reconsideration. 

Everyone I talk to someone at the bank they say their investigators review all the information and make the determination. They say they can't pull the cameras on the ATM to prove that it wasn't me. So there's nothing I can do but have my money stolen because Bank of America denies my claim despite the fact I did not authorize these transactions.

Consumer complaint received 06/29/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Property Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA XXXXWe made XXXX early payments:XX/XX/2014 $ XXXXXX/XX/2014 $ XXXXXX/XX/2014 $ XXXX, the money was not applied to the outstanding loan principle on the date we made the deposit. For example, the {$380000.00} on XXXX/XXXX/2014 was applied to the loan on XXXX/XXXX/2014. The XXXX and XXXX payments were applied to the loan on XXXX/XXXX/2014. 
Why the early payment could not applied to the loan on the deposit date? Does it cause us to pay extra interest due to the delay? The loan officer did not inform us of this when we applied the loan. Our previous home loan from XXXX bank applied early payment on the deposit date. 
After talking to a staff from Bank of American customer service department, I finally understood the reason why my early payment {$380000.00} on XXXX/XXXX/2014 had to wait for 4 days until XXXX/XXXX/2014 to apply to the outstanding principle balance. He told me that any early payment can not be applied to the principle until the regular payment date and it is XXXX/XXXX/2014. When we decided to choose Bank of America for our mortgage loan, the loan officer, XXXX XXXX XXXX just told us that no penalty for early payment but did not tell us about early payment has to wait the regular payment to be applied to principle. This caused us XXXX losses. 
The first XXXX is the interest that we could earn if we keep {$380000.00} in our bank account until XXXX/XXXX/2014 and that is about {$20.00}. 
The second XXXX is the extra loan interest that we paid for {$380000.00} during the 4 days from XXXX/XXXX/2014 to XXXX/XXXX/2014 and that is about {$200.00}. 
I would like Bank of America to give us XXXX credits of {$20.00} and {$200.00}. 
Bank of America reply did apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, but refused any financial compensation that I requested.

Consumer complaint received 02-02-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with QUICKEN LOANS, INC. (MT).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Quicken Loans sent us a letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2015 informing us our house was recently determined to be in a flood zone. The letter stated we had 45 days to purchase flood insurance. We immediately began the process. Our insurance company, XXXX, told us that all flood insurance policies have a mandatory wait period of 30 days. We experienced enormous difficulty getting proof of insurance to Quicken - despite numerous calls, email and fax attempts and various Quicken employees confirming receipt of the insurance policy and assurance that all was well. Despite that, Quicken force purchased flood insurance with a start date of XXXX XXXX, 2015 - a full 3 weeks before they even sent us the letter! Eventually they removed the policy, continuing to hold us responsible for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX - the months we either did n't know or were mandatorily blocked out with the wait period. The two months that Quicken has retroactively forced flood insurance is only slightly below the quote we received for a full year policy from XXXX. That only began our problems with Quicken. The quest to understand changes and charges to our mortgage began in XXXX 2015 and sadly continues still. I can not say how many times, more than dozens, I 've called and emailed asking very specific questions to understand the costs and changes to our mortgage payments on a fixed rate loan. I can not understand how a financial institution does not know this information at the touch of a button and why it has been taking so long and still no information is known. Our mortgage payments have fluctuated and increased by several hundred dollars a month! We need help getting specific details of costs and really want to spread the word on Quicken 's shady business practices. We could not regret more our decision to refinance with them. Having a mortgage on this property for 11 years with never a problem before Quicken really says something about them.

Consumer complaint received 01/19/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (VA).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

Complaint: I contacted my lender ( Navient ) to change my income-based repayment plan. My original monthly payment was {$520.00}, which is not sustainable when my cost of living is considered. I pay over {$1000.00} in rent monthly not including other bills that I am responsible for paying. I was told by a Navient representative over the phone that I would need to re-submit an income-based repayment application with proof of income again. The customer service representative then stated that I would have to call back once they receive the application and I would then have to pay approximately {$1500.00} in full or I could submit a partial payment and go into forbearance for the rest until my new payment plan is in place. I can not afford to pay such a large sum of money all at once and should not be penalized for that.

Consumer complaint received 01/26/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (TX).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: Consumer Complaint, Credit Report Complainant : XXXX XXXX, Consumer Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Phone No : ( XXXX ) XXXX Agency : XXXX and Experian Report Date : XX/XX/2018 Collector : XXXX Address : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IN XXXX Phone No. 
( XXXX ) XXXX Creditor : XXXX XXXX, Dept. of Education Account XXXX. : XXXX and XXXX This complaint is about the account above and the reporting of the collector, XXXX XXXX. I am XXXX XXXX, the debtor and Complainant in this complaint. Despite the regulations XXXX is obligated to abide by and my own conversations with XXXX regarding their reporting, all attempts to rectify the situation have been unsuccessful. This has made it necessary for me to file this complaint. 

The basis of my complaint is simple. I have submitted an Application for Discharge and Forgiveness based on my XXXX to the U.S. Department of Education, the creditor, along with XXXX XXXX, on this account. According to the rules stated by the Department of Education, third parties are to discontinue all collection efforts while the application is being considered. This includes negative reporting on all credit reports. 

Despite this XXXX XXXX continues to report this as a seriously past due collection account on all three reporting agencies. During my last conversation with XXXX their representative led me believe that the derogatory reporting had ended. The conversation was odd in that the agent began to argue with me then told me that the accounts were being reported as current. Based on the response I received when I asked for confirmation of this, I believe the XXXX   representative was being intentionally vague and deceitful. 

A review of my credit report shows that XXXX XXXX, the owner of my account, is reporting these accounts as Paid as Agreed with no negative comments. The XXXX XXXX account numbers are Identical to the XXXX XXXX account numbers. XXXX XXXX is reporting these under open accounts, not as derogatory accounts, as XXXX is reporting. I have done a bit of research on XXXX XXXX and it appears that they have a history of bad faith dealings with their account holders. 

I appreciate any help I can get with this problem. 

I am attaching to this complaint the pertinent documentation, which includes XXXX 2018 reports from XXXX and Experian and my Application for Discharge and Forgiveness, my own cover letter to the application and the Email confirming the Dept. of Educations receipt of the application including the date submitted.
