Consumer complaint received 01/20/2017 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (NC).
Issue: Customer service / Customer relations

Complaint: I was traveling over the holidays and my sister was hospitalized with an emergency. I had a friend send me my bills so I could pay them long distance. I sent, from my " pay bills '' account with my bank, a check for {$3800.00} to the WRONG account. It was a different XXXX XXXX card than the one I should have paid. In fact, the money went to an account that had been closed. I did n't realize the mistake until I got a notice from the correct account that my payment had n't been received. I contacted the Citibank Advantage card company which I 'd incorrectly paid. They 'd accepted the check. After several calls they finally saw what was going on, then credited my active account rather than returning my money. It took another couple of calls to convince them I needed the money back, not a credit in an account that I seldom use. After several more calls I still do n't have my money, they claim the long delay is due to " policy. ''

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX called me regarding payments on my student loan with Navient ( formerly XXXX XXXX ). I set up a payment arrangement of {$150.00} for 5 years. On XX/XX/XXXX I noticed that my payments were no longer being deducted from my checking account. When I called XXXX XXXX XXXX, I was informed that my loan was recalled to Navient. I got no correspondence regarding the recall. I was told to call Navient. So, I called Navient, they game me the address of the XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is where I was supposed to send my payment. My XX/XX/XXXX was cashed and credit to my account. My XX/XX/XXXX payment has not been posted or cashed to my account. I called Navient on XX/XX/XXXX, they informed me that my payment wasn't cashed b/c my account is in litigation with bankruptcy court. Once again, I have no correspondence regarding this and no one at Navient can help me with my account. All I'm asking is for Navient to honor my payment arrangement, update my account, cash my checks and provide me with an explanation as to what is going on with my account.

Consumer complaint received 11-07-2015 about Debt collection (Other (i.e. phone, health club, etc.)) with I.Q. DATA INTERNATIONAL, INC. (IL).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/2015, we moved out of XXXX XXXX due to issues that are not a part of this complaint. XXXX XXXX was appropriately notified and we were told that we will receive a statement with a payment due if any repairs are needed. We never received one. We do have mail forwarding service and all other mail came. 
By XXXX/XXXX/2015, we were already moved into our new house, but we did not receive a statement, or a bill. 
At that point I called, and found out that there is a bill and that we owe XXXX {$280.00} for carpet repair. I was surprised, but I asked for the bill. XXXX told me she will send it ( they already had new address on file since it was provided a month before a move out ). Two weeks passed, but we still had not bill, or statement. 
Eventually, just to get this over with, I stopped at the office to pay it off on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and handed XXXX a cashier 's check for {$280.00} payable to Residences At XXXX XXXX. She assured me this is the last time we will see each other. 
To my surprise, on XXXX/XXXX/2015, I received a notice from a debt collector for {$280.00} I owe to Residences. 

To sum up, I was reported to collection agency after the debt was paid in full to manager on staff that day. Also, I received no resolution from them at this time. Mine, and my fiance 's credit is likely to be affected. 

At this point, it has to be either ill-will, or gross incompetence. It is difficult for me to understand it as I gave all parties ample time and opportunity to settle all issues.

Consumer complaint received 11/23/2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: We were in Forbearance until I obtained a job making $ XXXX/hour Wells Fargo has consistently denied us th opportunity to return to regular payments they have placed the house into foreclosure and have made demands for {$26000.00} to return the payments. We believe that the bank 's staff has done this in the last two weeks following us filing a previous complaint with you guys. We received a call today, stating the {$6400.00} I make a month is not adequate salary for us to return to the $ XXXX/month mortgage. 
I tried to apply for a {$26000.00} loan to catch up the house, only to find out WELLS FARGO has been reporting late payments on my credit report since we 're on forbearance - so we are stuck in a large hole with no assistance from the bank. They wo n't return any of our calls. 

We believe that the decision was based more on the fact that there was a complaint filed, then our ability to resume payment regularly

Bank issued me a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX upon which I obtained loan in the amount of about {$15000.00}. The balance as of XXXX XXXX, XXXX was {$16000.00}. 

2. Chase Manhattan Bank assigned the debts to an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX without any intimation to me. 

3. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Assignee instituted action by their Attorneys claiming {$33000.00} without stating as how they arrived at {$33000.00}. The summons was served upon a non-existing " Fictitious person ''. A default Judgment was passed behind my back on XXXX XXXX, XXXX for {$35000.00} and interest. 

4. The affidavit of merit does not contain any evidence of proof of claim. Neither Defendant 's account nor copy of the Assignment is annexed. 

5. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX income execution was levied for {$38000.00} which included interest of {$500.00} and compound interest which was illegal. 

6. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I made an Application XXXX to the Court to vacate the judgment, to stop garnishing wages on the ground of non-service of Summons or any document in this action. The Response does not deny non-service of summons. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX the XXXX was granted only to the extent that the income execution was stayed from the date of the Order. 

7. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I filed XXXX subsequent XXXX 's to vacate the judgment and income execution on the ground of non-service of Summons or any document in this action which met with the same fate. This time the claim had increased to {$45000.00} and was denied.

Consumer complaint received 06/30/2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (FL).
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, there was a Loan Modification Agreement made between myself and Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, Lender/Servicer or Agent for Lender/Servicer. ( Ocwen Loan Servicing is a debt collector attempting to collect a debt ). The reason I applied for a loan modification was because I was struggling to pay my mortgage. My mortgage payment at the time was for {$1200.00}. I requested that they lower my monthly mortgage payments, so that I may be able to comfortably afford making my mortgage payments on time. On XX/XX/XXXX, Ocwen modified my loan for the amount of {$1200.00} and they added to my loan a Balloon Payment Disclosure. I was not happy with the terms of my loan modification and especially with the balloon payment disclosure. However, I was pressured by Ocwen Loan Servicing into signing the modification and the balloon payment disclosure. I did not agree with the balloon payment disclosure, but I was informed by Ocwen Loan Servicing that if I did not sign the balloon payment disclosure, they would turn down the modification and proceed to foreclose on my property. As of XX/XX/XXXX, my mortgage payment increased to {$1200.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX XXXX in order to apply for refinancing of my home ; and they informed me that Ocwen was showing that I was past due {$1200.00} on my mortgage and that Ocwen is stacking me with late payments on a monthly basis. Also, Ocwen Loan Servicing has destroyed my credit. Ocwen is not currently updating their records. I am current on my mortgage payments and they are not disclosing and/or updating the records to show that I am current on my mortgage payments. XXXX XXXX informed me that I will not be able to refinance until the accurate information is shown on my payment history and this important matter is resolved, because I am currently high risk. In addition, I am seeking legal services.

Consumer complaint received 09/16/2015 about Credit reporting () with EQUIFAX, INC. (GA).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Reinserted previously deleted info

Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX keeps places debts back on my credit report that were previously removed. They will be XXXX, then show up on Equifax XXXX and visa versa. The debts have never ever been verified. Each and every time I request verification. I state to them that the debt is well beyond the SOL and is a time barred debt. These debts were closed and sold between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. They show them as current open collection accounts. They have repeatedly done this even though they have been sued and settle for the exact same things. If it is not them it is one of the subsidiaries. This has been going on for a very long time. How is it that the credit reporting agencies are allowing them to do this without consequences.

Consumer complaint received 07-05-2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with BAYVIEW LOAN SERVICING, LLC (GA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Servicing rights to our account were transferred to Bayview Loan Servicing effective XXXX/XXXX/15. The first mortgage statement we received from them was dated XXXX/XXXX/15. The account balances quoted on Bayview 's statement did not agree with our own records. Our records are built on a document called " Simplified Transaction History '' sent to us by the president of a prior servicer. He assured us that this " Simplified Transaction History '' was an accurate representation of our account as of a given date. We based our records on this Simplified Transaction History and recorded all of the account activity since that specified date, thereby developing an up to date record of our account. Upon receipt of the mortgage statement from Bayview, we submitted a " Qualified Written Request '' disputing the balances shown on their statement dated XXXX/XXXX/15. Enclosed with our QWR we submitted ( a ) a copy of the Simplified Transaction History sent to us by the prior servicer ; ( b ) a copy of the letter from the president of the prior servicer stating that the Simplified Transaction History was an accurate representation of our account on a specific date ; ( c ) a copy of spreadsheets distributiing the entries in the Simplified Transaction History to each entries component parts ; and ( d ) a copy of a spreadsheet recording all of the activity on the account after the specified date. Bayview 's response to our QWR was dated XXXX/XXXX/15. Their response did address the Simplified Transaction History. Their response did not address the letter from the president of the prior servicer. Their response mentioned our spreadsheets only to say that the resulting balances did not agree with their own record. They did not identify any errors whatsoever in our records. With respect to their own records, they did not provide and documentation showing how the balances in their statement was developed. We have written them several QWR 's and letters but they refuse to address our disputes in a meaningful manner. 
Bayview 's correspondence states " Bayview Loan Servicing , LLC is a debt collector ''. Since Bayview has not ceased collection of the debt, we consider them to be in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Since Bayview has not corrected their records or provided an explanation of the discrerpancy between their records and our records which are built on documents sent to us by a prior servicer, we consider them in violation of RESPA. Such disregard of the statutes governing their activities can not be allowed.
