Consumer complaint received 04-01-2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with QUICKEN LOANS, INC. (PA).
Issue: Settlement process and costs

Complaint: My husband and I applied for a mortgage refinance with Quicken Loans in order to remove the private mortgage insurance from our current mortgage. I was upfront with them from the beginning regarding the change in our tax rates and that a county/city tax bill was due to be paid from the escrow very soon, possibly before the day of closing. I asked them to be sure they had the most recent tax values prior to closing and they assured me the settlement company would research that for me. I found the bills posted on the county and city websites so assumed the settlement company would have no problem getting the information from the treasurer 's office directly. The day Quicken called to schedule the closing I noticed they had included the city taxes that had been paid by our current mortgage company a month earlier. I supplied a receipt and they rescheduled they called back a day later to reschedule the closing claiming they had verified the payment. My husband and I reviewed the tax numbers and saw they were in fact higher than the year before as expected so we felt Quicken had done their due diligence and gotten the updated tax bills so we signed the closing documents. Two days later Quicken called and said a special assessment had posted to our account and the taxes were going to be higher and in order to finish the closing Quicken needed an additional {$1100.00}. They claimed the documents had just posted to the county/city tax website, when in fact the documents had been there since XXXX 2014. We still were within the window to cancel the loan under the right to cancel clause, but Quicken said we forfeited our {$500.00} good faith deposit. I would like our {$500.00} return and an investigation into their practices.

Consumer complaint received 12/14/2017 about Debt collection (Other debt) with TrueAccord Corp. (CA).
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Complaint: I have been getting telephone calls from someone who identifies herself as " XXXX XXXX '' who claims she is a debt collector but refused to give the name of the company with which is was supposedly associated. She said that in order to stop further action on this issue I needed to call XXXX. 

Then today, I got what was obviously a bogus collections email, from some place claiming to be True Accord ( XXXX, XXXXXXXXXXXX ) and claiming that I owed " XXXX XXXX XXXX the Current Creditor-Debt Purchaser '' {$1400.00} for some balance on an old XXXX account. It claims the account went into default in XXXX ... 

I have n't done any business with XXXX for about a decade. I was provided with NO PROOF of any debt owed. 

I looked up True Accord online and found that : " TrueAccord Corp has been sued for using debt collection practices that allegedly violate the FDCPA. '' Since they came back to back, I 'm assuming that the bogus telephone call ( which obviously violated debt collections rules ), and the bogus email which claimed I owed money I do not owe for an account that is over a decade old ( also in violation of debt collections rules ) were from the same company/individual.

Consumer complaint received 11/16/2016 about Bank account or service (Cashing a check without an account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (CT).
Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money

Complaint: I received an insurance claim check drawn on Bank of America ( BoA ), and took it to Bank of America to cash it. I am not a customer at BoA. They indicated they charged an {$8.00} fee for payroll checks ( it was not a payroll check, but i do work for the insurance company ). The issue i have is they REFUSED to give me the full amount of the check {$1000.00}, AND refused to give me a receipt for the amount of the fee. I am most concerned with the lack of a receipt. There is an issue as to whether it 's legal for the insurer to fail to pay the full amount of the claim, and without a receipt, i can not even prove they charged a fee. I mean, without the receipt, for all I know, the employees were skimming the cash off the top of my check, and lying about the fee applying to my check. For the record - I in no way believe that was what happened, because I can find extensive documentation of the existence of the fee, and the employees were very accommodating, except for being unable to have any way of giving me a receipt for the fee.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: Despite many requests XXXX XXXX XXXX refuses to discontinue reporting in accurate information caused by ID theft in the closure of a credit card to Experian and other CRAs. 

When my credit card was ran up I made the request to issue another one and although the balance was still paid by myself on the first card it reports as maxed and that I have to open accounts which is not the case since I only have one.

Consumer complaint received 07/28/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CO).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: I had a checking account with Wells Fargo. ( I had had this account for 16 years ). This account was linked to my Wells Fargo credit card. Each month I could automatically pay my Wells Fargo credit card bill. I had it set up so that if I took no action the minimum required payment would automatically be taken out of this Wells Fargo checking account. That way even if I got busy my credit card would always be paid on time! Out of no where in XXXX 2017 Wells Fargo closed this checking account. Because they closed this account my credit card payments on the Wells Fargo credit card were then NOT being paid. I was totally unaware of this and I do not believe that Wells Fargo did enough to notify me that they were closing this checking account. It was very surprising especially since I had had that account for so long.
Apparently they had changed their policy and this account was being closed because it did not have the required number of transactions per month. I never got a phone call to notify me of this information. To me this is especially shocking and upsetting since I had been a customer for such a long time and had a record of paying my bill on time. Then Wells Fargo started to send me letters stating that my balance had not been paid. I received the first letter on XXXX XXXX, I did n't look at the letter at the time as my XXXX child had been born the XXXX XXXX. By XXXX XXXX, they sent me another letter stating that I was delinquent on this account and that a payment of XXXX had to be paid immediately. I also did n't get this letter until several days later. Finally I got another letter on XXXX XXXX that stated that I had to pay a minimum of XXXX. This was the first time that this matter was brought to my attention and I was horrified. I immediately paid the XXXX. Even though I worked hard to rectify this situation Wells Fargo still put a hit on my credit score. This has severely impacted my credit score. Currently I am trying to buy a new home and my ability to lock in a competitive rate is being affected by my low credit score. All of this had happened because Wells Fargo closed an account I had that was paying them on time every month. I feel that this situation was Wells Fargo 's fault. As they first set me up to not pay my credit card bill, then charged me enormous fees when my payment was late and then finally they hit my credit score and damaged my credit history when none of this was my fault.

Consumer complaint received 08/20/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (ME).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: This is the XXXX addendum to my XXXX complaint. I returned a call to Wells Fargo, thinking that it was about this complaint. I could n't have been more incorrect. I spoke with XXXX XXXX and was informed that even though I signed all the mortgage documents on XXXX XXXX, now, a month later I still owe them {$640.00} because the title company screwed up the numbers. I was told that I need to call the title company. You can not imagine my level of frustration. To be honest, I am so sick of these banks not being held accountable. 
XXXX they try to take {$2200.00} out of my account that I did n't owe them. Then, they tell me that they had no record of my call to stop the auto payment, then they tell me that I have to call my bank to stop the payment. They then proceed to try and take {$2200.00} out of my account XXXX more times. In the mean time I 've been charged XXXX in overdraft fees and recurring overdraft fees. Oh and by the way, my bank wanted to charge another XXXX for each of the stop payments, which would have been another {$69.00}. Now, this thing about the title company screwing up!! Seems to me that a violation of the Electronic Funds Transfer Act and parts of the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act occurred here. They keep telling me that I have to fix their mistakes and pay for their mistakes.

Consumer complaint received 08/29/2016 about Credit card () with CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CA).
Issue: Other

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I purchased XXXX First Class, round trip tickets from XXXX to XXXX on XXXX using the Capital One Rewards Travel website. The tickets were purchased as a birthday present for my wife, but our entire trip was ruined by Capital One 's fraudulent activity. 

On Saturday, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, the day we were supposed to depart for XXXX ( after flying all the way across the country from XXXX XXXX to XXXX ), I tried to check into our flight. Once I reached the seat selection screen on XXXX 's website, I was only given the option to select Premium Economy seats notwithstanding the fact that I clearly purchased First Class tickets as evidenced by the attached reservations from the Capital One Reward Travel website. I immediately called XXXX to ask why I could not check into First Class, and they said the tickets in their reservation system showed up as Premium Economy, not First Class. The XXXX agent said I would need to discuss the discrepancy with whomever I purchased the tickets from. 

I immediately called the Capital One phone number listed on my reservation receipt and spoke with XXXX XXXX, Agent Sign XXXX in XXXX, PA. I explained the problem and asked that she put us in First Class on the flight we were booked on, or the other direct XXXX flight scheduled earlier that same day. After spending over an hour on the phone, XXXX told me that despite my reservations clearly stating that I purchased First Class tickets, there must have been a computer error and she could not do anything for me. I then asked to speak with a supervisor, and she refused. XXXX then proceeded to tell me that my only choices were to accept a refund or pay to upgrade my tickets from Premium Economy to First Class!

Consumer complaint received 10/17/2017 about Mortgage (VA mortgage) with PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC. (NJ).
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint: Penny Mac failed to close on a loan modification in time for me to get the HAMP benefit that closed on XX/XX/XXXX which raised my monthly payments significantly. Penny Mac requested pre-approval from the VA for a loan of 3.5 % and a 480 month term and the VA granted an approval for this loan. I spoke with the VA and they will confirm this.

On XX/XX/XXXX a trial modification payment of {$2700.00} at an interest rate of 3.5 % commenced. I made 7 payments from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX and Penny Mac failed to send me closing loan documents. Now Penny Mac is requesting a loan modification of XXXX with an interest rate of 4.375 %. On top of this new loan they added my ex-wife to the proposed mortgage. She was not on the original mortgage and she recently claimed bankruptcy.

Consumer complaint received 08/17/2017 about Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan (Installment loan) with Big Picture Loans, LLC (OH).
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Complaint: I borrowed {$400.00} in the beginning of XXXX 2017 from an online payday company called Big Picture Loans. I have borrowed from them earlier this year and was able to pay off the loan quickly so I did n't have to pay high interest fees. I have made 4 payments of {$130.00} which is a total of {$520.00} on this current loan. I wanted to pay off the loan last week, it said I had a balance of {$390.00} which is ridiculous because I 've already paid {$120.00} in interest however I just wanted it paid off so I was going to pay it. When I tried to schedule the payment it said my payment would be {$480.00}!! Why would I pay almost {$100.00} more than what it said I owe?? I did n't have this problem with the first loan so I do n't know what is going on with this company. They are n't willing to work with me at all, the customer service representative claims he was helping me by saying I could skip my upcoming payment however then I would owe over {$600.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. HOW IS THAT HELPING ME?? If I want to pay it off why do I owe so much. This company is not clear on pay off amounts, the representative just said its computer generated and there is nothing he can do. I ca n't even upload the documents because the website does n't allow me to. This company should be closed, they are thieves!!

Consumer complaint received 07/27/2016 about Debt collection (Credit card) with CAVALRY INVESTMENTS, LLC (FL).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: I am writing to you because I am at my wits end. Attached is a letter I wrote to XXXX to try and resolve this without going to your organization, and they aggressively told me to pound sand. All of the salient facts in the matter are included in the letter, so please review. I think that companies reporting to the credit bureaus are unscrupulous and unfair. This account has been held by many creditors. First XXXX, then Global Payments, then Cavalry, now XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, a law firm here in XXXX. I believe what they are doing to me is unethical at best and unlawful at worst. They keep reporting my debt as a new one yet the last time a XXXX was used by myself or my family was at least 8 years ago. How can they legally do this? I am contesting the validity of this debt. My problems began with XXXX. I attempted to close the account in 2006 and they refused to allow me to do so until I committed to a payment plan. In retrospect, I should have terminated all contact with them right then and there, but as is my want, I attempted to appease them. I believe they charged the account off that year and then sold it to the next firm, who sold it to the next, and the next. How long can they continue to report this debt to my credit report? As you can see in my letter to XXXX, I believe strongly that they have been keeping this debt alive as a methodology to scare me into settling a debt that I dispute. Please investigate to see how many of the charges they claim are actually usury interest rates and late fees. I can assure you that this is the lions share of the debt. It is predatory and deceitful. I am hoping that you have enough information to get resolution on my behalf. Thank you in advance for your efforts to rectify this matter! You are my last resort!
