Consumer complaint received 03-01-2017 about Debt collection (Federal student loan) with Texas Guaranteed (TX).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint: My loan was escalated improperly in XX/XX/2016. In XX/XX/2016 I called XXXX to secure a deferment as I was unemployed and receiving UE benefits, Food Stamps, and XXXX. I was only offered a Debt Consolidation for those loans. I was unable to accept that option based on research I had done. I advised I would call back after I started work. I called back in XX/XX/XXXX. Although, I had just started working, I attempted to make a {$50.00} payment. The representative said I needed to make {$150.00} payment and could not accept my payment. I was never offered an option to Rehab my loan. I remained in default and continued to live check to check. The other student loans I have with another servicer were with XXXX and were in forbearance/deferment. I have opened every singe communication I had with XXXX. I am not disputing what I owe however I only made XXXX last year and mounting medical bills due to an ongoing condition. I was never notified my loan would be accelerated to the Treasury Department. When I called XXXX last week, I was told they send out a letter in XX/XX/XXXX. They had the correct address on file, as they always have. I asked for a copy of the notification for garnishing my tax return. Not only did they say the couldnt provide, but they also said they had no record of me calling back in XX/XX/XXXX when they declined to take my payment. I talked to XXXX, the manager and he was very condescending. I advise there would have be no reason for me not to have been in some kind of deferment since I was and are still on government assistance. I am now working full time, but I am just barely catching up from being off work. I am also facing eviction because my taxes were taken. I know the government does not require notice if they are taking something, however the servicing contract XXXX has with the government should include proper acceleration of a loan to allow the borrower in financial difficulties to cure. Again I add, I have been on deferment with the other loans I currently have with a different servicer and there would have been no reason whatsoever for me not to have been on deferment or forbearance with XXXX. This should have never escalated to this point. XXXX falsely notified DOE/Treasurer that I was not trying to cure to the point my income taxes were taken.

Consumer complaint received 10/27/2017 about Vehicle loan or lease (Loan) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (OK).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: XXXX # XXXX in the name of XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX is my EX spouse. Wells Fargo is showing this account past due in accurately on all XXXX credit bureaus. For XXXX XXXX XXXX it shows late XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. For XXXX it shows late for XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. The letter attached shows the car was paid in full XXXX therefore it could not be 30 days past due in XXXX XXXX. However the biggest issue I am facing is the address listed on the account is XXXX 's address. I requested numerous times via phone and mail for Wells Fargo to send me bills, and commuincations at my address since I am listed on the account. The only time I received communications at my address is after the loan was paid in full and I began disputing the late payments with them. Any phone contact received from them to collect payment were made to me only after not being able to reach XXXX for payment and were always 30 days past the payment date. I made numerous attempts to request I be contacted by mail and by phone. Their inaccurate information and in ability to update the account has harmed my credit report. I am attaching a copy of the paid in full letter addressed to me but not sent to my address and never has been my addresses ever. The only reason I got a copy of this report is because I demanded a copy of it from XXXX. I requested the same letter from wells fargo and was told that it was already sent to me.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: Received collection ca ll from Ocwen mort gage on  XXXX / XXXX /   2017  about my  XXXX     2017  mortgage payment. She asked me if I was able to make the payment I told her yes to do a e-check if there was no charge.

I asked her if she could verify the day the payment was schedule to come out of my account & she told me her system did n't show her the date. I asked if she was sure & she confirmed yes payment will come out of your account. I received a call today fro m Ocwen who advised me that  XXXX  2017 payment was not made & I told her of my last interaction with a Ocwen rep last week of  XXXX . She told me she would send info to the research department. I am sure Ocwen records their calls. All they need to do is pull the tape of the call & verify what that the rep told me payment was al ready schedule. It is not unusual for me to set up auto draft payment early in the month to come out on payroll date & get collection calls after payment has been scheduled. I need CFPB to help me get the 30 day late removed from my credit report.

Consumer complaint received 04-07-2016 about Mortgage (VA mortgage) with CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC (FL).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: My mortgage was sold to Carrington Mortgage Services by XXXX back in XXXX of 2015. Until that point I had always been on time with my mortgage payments. In XXXX of 2015 I became late on my payment after I made the payment on line but XXXX the account number by XXXX digit so the payment did not go through. I did not realize my error and evidently neither did Carrington because I did not get notified by them for more than 30 days and then my notification came by US Mail, not a courtesy email or phone call, although they had my email and phone number, but they used snail mail. By then I was over 30 days late so a credit report entry was made. To compound matters, they then took my XXXX payment which had been made during the waiting time and applied it to XXXX without telling me that is what they did, and subsequently my XXXX payment became over 30 days late of which I was also not notified in a timely manner, another credit report entry. No phone call, no email, just another XXXX Mail letter, way after I could do anything about it. I finally found out about the XXXX payment so I quickly reauthorized it on line to stop the cascading of late payments. The company has been absolutely un-caring about the situation and unwilling to work with me on it, even though I had obligated all of the money necessary to make all the payments on time and only by a random keystroke mistake was I even late in making the first payment. They also refuse to acknowledge that they share at least part of the responsibility since they took so long to notify me that my payment was late. I am searching for the correct state and federal agencies to work through to ensure this company gets the attention it deserves.

Consumer complaint received 10/21/2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with CITIBANK, N.A. (UT).
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Overcharged for something you did purchase with the card

Complaint: I bought tickets to a show for XXXX from the merchant XXXX XXXX. My card was charged for XXXX - the merchant had added over XXXX in service fees to the purchase after checkout. This higher amount showed up on my credit card as a charge and in a receipt the merchant mailed me. 

I immediately notified the merchant that I only agreed to the initial price and that the service fees were never presented to me until after the fact in the receipt I was emailed. I told them that I did not agree to the amount I was charged but they refused to reverse the charge or stop the " order. '' I had not received any merchandise or services at this point. 

Since the merchant refused to remedy the situation I contacted my credit card company, Citi, and started the process to execute a chargeback. After taking some information such as the name of the merchant, the nature of the dispute, and my account information, Citi issued me a conditional credit for the chargeback. 

XXXX months later Citi sent me an email saying that they reversed my chargeback and included documentation from the merchant regarding the purchase such as email correspondence between myself and the merchant regarding the attempt to remedy the situation as well as the merchants policies. 

I was never given a chance to present any evidence regarding the fraudulent charge on my card. This evidence would have included the fact that I immediately contacted the merchant to resolve the issue, the fact that I never accepted delivery of tickets to the show, and a long history of predatory overcharges to other customer 's credit cards from this same merchant. 

The merchant was given ample opportunity to make their case to Citi and I was n't given any. This seems like textbook credit card fraud to me which Citi was totally complicit in.

The home is exposed to the elements and is at risk of additional damage. Carrington is trying to shift responsibility of the non payment to me. The property has no insurance and despite my efforts I am transferred between people with no progress. They have advised me that they will force place insurance at a higher cost causing my payment to go up and my coverage to go down for my own personal investment interest on this property. on XXXX XXXX they said they would send an adjuster out and they have not contacted me or sent anyone out as of XXXX XXXX. They are talking about filing a claim with another company which will not work since the damage is preexisting. They clearly have no idea what they are doing. 

They need to prioritize the issue since the property is not properly secured and exposed to the elements. My efforts at covering the hole in the roof are temporary. If another storm goes through there will be additional damages. 

In the meantime, I have tenants displaced that I am covering their housing costs.Please kindly involve yourself in this issue to get the mortgage holder to understand the severity and importance of their proper handling of the matter.
