Consumer complaint received 06/27/2016 about Credit card () with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (FL).
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint: I went to XXXX to have my pearl necklace strung with silk and a XXXX yellow gold clasp. When I got it home I could not get it on so I took it to another jeweler who said it was not XXXX yellow gold but gold filled. I was so hurt. You ca n't tell if it is what you asked for unless it is appraised. I did everything she asked for and I even gave her {$390.00} up front as half of what she asked for even before the work was done. That is not customary. Then I gave her the other half {$390.00} when I picked it up. I disputed it with the Credit card company J.P.Morgan Chase they took off one XXXX then they returned ( 2 ) payments of {$390.00} even thought they only took one off my account. That was so mean when I sent them everything in writing and the picture from the other jeweler. I closed the account. I now owe them $ XXXX.- {$780.00}.

Consumer complaint received 11/24/2015 about Payday loan () with Big Picture Loans, LLC (MT).
Issue: Charged fees or interest I didn't expect

Complaint: I applied for and was granted a payday loan from Castle Payday, which is an affiliate of the XXXX XXXX XXXX entity. At no time was it explained to me that the {$1000.00} loan was going to cost me {$7600.00}. Castle payday has been auto-deducting an average payment of {$250.00}, XXXX a month from my checking account since XXXX XXXX, for a total of {$1600.00}. The only way I can get them to stop pulling money out is to pay the loan off in full. My contention is that I have repaid the debt in full at this point plus {$620.00} and to pay an additional {$1200.00} to consider it paid in full, or to continue installments until full maturity of the note is reached ( a total of {$7300.00} ), in my opinion, fraudulent.

Consumer complaint received 06/22/2016 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with Pinnacle Credit Services, LLC (MD).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: I have sent several requests to Pinnacle Credit Services per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 U.S. Code 1681, Fair Credit Reporting Act section 623 ( a ) ( 1b ) and section 623 ( b2 ) requesting the show me the documents required by law that they have to hold me responsible to this debt. 

At this time I am submitting this as so that the FTC will have on record that I have attempted on numerous occasions to have this company obey the law and they have refused to produce the documents they are required to have on file to continue to report this derogatory information. I have been given no original contract bearing my signature or documentation of any kind. 

It was advised that I try to have this issue resolved though the mediation of the CFPB before I filed suit in state court seeking remuneration for several things including but not limited to : Violation of the FCRA, Violation of the FDCPA, Defamation of character and Identity Theft as they have opened this account without my knowledge or consent. I have lost opportunities due to this illegally reported information remaining on my credit profiles. 

I am attaching a copy of the most recent USPS Certified mailing sent to this company in XX/XX/XXXX which has well surpassed the 30 days allowed by law for a response.

Consumer complaint received 07/13/2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with Ditech Financial LLC (CO).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: My payment history shows that Ditech had received a payment for {$1000.00} which was to be XX/XX/XXXX  mortgage payment with the extra amount going to principal. They show the entire amount going to principal and that I have n't made a XX/XX/XXXX payment yet. I wrote them about this on XX/XX/XXXX and got a response on XX/XX/XXXX that reads : " Your request is being reviewed for appropriate processing, '' yet the account shows no mortgage payment for XXXX 2017, according to them. Given all of the problems with Ditech/Greentree that I 've had, I honestly believe this is an attempt by them to claim a late payment by me. I also wrote to them indicating that I was sending in XX/XX/XXXX payment early and that this, too, should be applied to XX/XX/XXXX mortgage payment. I have not seen that payment as posted, yet. I also asked ditech for a new security question from among the three they give me. The answers must be exact with cases correct and I ca n't remember one of the answers. I have been locked out of my account a few times because of this. Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action ... .XXXX XXXX . This is well beyond the third such issue with Ditech.

Consumer complaint received 04-06-2017 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (MA).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

Complaint: I have been on an income based payment program with Navient for the past few years which made my interest rate around 4 %. I was asked in XX/XX/XXXX to call to extend the program or my rate would increase to 9 %. When I called they said that my income was not high enough to qualify for the program and that my payment would increase from {$450.00} to {$760.00} per month. Needless to say i can not afford this amount, so I asked to speak to a manager who re-reviewed everything and told me that my income was too high. Ultimately I am trying to work with them on a payment program that i can afford, and that is reasonable but they are playing games. i am looking to refinance now, but am really hoping to get some advice and help on how to move forward.

Consumer complaint received 02-11-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Common Wealth Mortgage Services (NM).
Issue: Settlement process and costs

Complaint: My mortgage company of 11years has in the last two years failed to provide the credit reporting agencies with accurate information. In fact rather not send any info at all. I have confronted them about this. I have been given a bill of goods by their reps including someone who claims to be the vice president of the XXXX office. She has sent several emails claiming an attempt to resolve the issue when I have learned thru talking directly to XXXX and the other credit report agencies, she has lied. This has become a standard for them. Send out excuses, deflect and deny any responsibility. In the past two years, a merger, or take over of the original mortgage company has occurred. 
After several months of being lied to by these individuals, I contacted the State 's Attorney General 's Office in XXXX, they agreed to look into this matter solely based on the fact that several other customers have made the same complaint against my mortgage company. My patience has run out and I need someone to force the compliance and laws governing this lender. The States Attorney Generals office of New Mexico is continuing to investigate this but I fear in talking to them, it wont be enough.

I am dismayed at the way they have treated me and the way they have handled the situation that a man who has lost his father has been able to close out all other accounts totaling substantially more that this US bank account. Yet US Bank requires something more for the small amount in my father 's account that has been left to me the beneficiary and they are saying that I have to drive to Colorado go to the courts to get this letter in order to extract the money into the executor account in order to fulfill my father 's requests concerning the money that he left behind

Consumer complaint received 08-05-2016 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (TX).
Issue: Delinquent account

Complaint: My Best Buy card which is managed by CitiBank has held my account hostage while it is in their seemingly ongoing " review '' process for over 5 months. I do not agree with the charges and fees that have accumulated on the account due to the fact they would not allow my wife to pay off the account while I was in the hospital. Now they will not let me do anything to settle the account while they hold it in limbo. It has hurt my credit score and impacted other areas of my family 's life. They will not give me any concrete information on my account or any semblance of an idea as to when their review process will be complete.
