Consumer complaint received 01-04-2018 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with ASSURANCE FINANCIAL GROUP, LLC (GA).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: I live in the City of XXXX, in XXXX County. As widely publicized in XXXX, our property tax bills were delayed due to disputes over the tax digest used. New revised bills were issued on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I contacted my mortgage company, Assurance Financial, the week of XXXX XXXX to make sure they had received the revised bill. They had not and at that time I sent them a copy with pleadings that they make sure my bills were paid on time. I noticed on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, that my escrow account had been debited for my County taxes which were not officially due until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I reached back out to Assurance and stressed that I wanted to be sure the City taxes due XXXX/XXXX/XXXX were paid. The customer service representative assured me they would be paid one time, but my escrow summary did not reflect any taxes being due, which I kept telling the representative. The escrow department at Assurance seemed to have no knowledge of GA mortgage laws as they insisted the taxes had been paid at closing, which I knew to be untrue. I reached out again the following week when I still saw no changes to my escrow account. Again, I was reassured that the payment would be made on time. One XXXX XXXX, I checked my account and noticed the payment still had not been issued and the funds were still in my escrow account. I attempted to call only to learn the company closed that week! I sent a message via their secure message center stressing the urgency that my bill must be paid that week or be delinquent with interest and penalties. I never heard back from the company. I called on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX after the payment still had not been made. I spoke with a manager who assured me they  were " researching '' my issue. I sent him ANOTHER copy of the bill and asked that these taxes be paid immediately as my escrow had more than adequate funds and the taxes were now past due. I was assured someone would call me back within 24 hours and I 've yet to hear from anyone and my account reflects no changes. This also will cause me to miss out on my mortgage tax benefit which I really needed this year.

Consumer complaint received 12-03-2017 about Debt collection (Credit card debt) with AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY (GA).
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Complaint: I have had a personal American Express and a Business American Express ( OPEN ) since XX/XX/XXXX. This complaint is about the Business American Express. I used the OPEN for my XXXX as revolving cash for several years. I had balances over {$50000.00} at times. In XX/XX/XXXX, the balance was over {$25000.00}. By XX/XX/XXXX, the balance had dropped to under {$1000.00}. In XX/XX/XXXX, American Express notified me that they were cancelling my " pay as you go '' ( revolving ) and lowering my limit immediately. They claimed it was due to negative credit on my credit report. However, this was not true. 
There was no negative credit and my credit score was consistent. In fact, I refinanced a {$180000.00} mortgage in XX/XX/XXXX with no problem. 

We had just opened a big project and this immediately paying off a big balance ( about {$25000.00} ) was problematic. I called American Express and they suggested that I go on a payment plan. When the payment plan was complete, my card would be good to continue use. I agreed. I made 100 % of the payments on time during the payment plan. However, American Express cancelled the card during the payment plan. 

When the payment plan was complete, American Express demanded the remaining balance of about {$7200.00}. I had not idea this was coming. American Express had unilaterally reduced the credit line, unilaterally cancelled the card, and unlaterally called it due to no reason. I asked to simply continuing paying the $ XXXX/month and the balance would be retired in 9 months. They said NO. I wrote a letter to the president of the American Express. The executive office called me and told me there would do NOTHING to help. 

Note that I had ALWAYS made payments as agreed on the both cards ; there was NO problem with my credit. I simply want to retire the debt and move on. 

Since then, I have received harassing calls from American Express. American Express employee, XXXX XXXX, threatened to turn over the account to outside collections. XXXX XXXX is going to call the personal account fully due and turn it over to collections as well. He promised to " ruin my credit ''. Note that both the personal card and the business card have been paid as agreed always. This seems completely unnecessary. I am willing to pay. I just need a few months. 

I have had relationships with many mortgage companies and other credit cards for over 25 years and have maintained perfect credit. 

American Express purposefully ruining my credit is highly damaging to our real estate business as we are dependent on credit to purchase properties.

I have called 5 days in a row and get nothing but music and long hold times. in five days I have spent 7 hours 52 minutes and have never spoken to anyone.

Consumer complaint received 09/13/2016 about Credit card () with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NC).
Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint: Well for starters its not a credit card but it is a debit card. Now that that 's out of the way ; I was gone out of state for 2 months to attend basic military training ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 2016 to be exact ). There was a withdrawal from my account of {$900.00} on XXXX XXXX 2016 in XXXX, NC. Once I found out I immediately informed my bank about the situation. They put the temporary credit back on there and began the case. Since I was in basic I had no way to communicate with them again until I returned home. On XXXX XXXX 2016 I received a letter stating they denied my claim. They deducted the {$900.00} out of my account this morning and now I 'm in the negatives. I see why they do n't believe me but I do have proof of me being in the other state and not in the state where the money was taken out from. Honestly I feel like the company is horrible for letting something let this happen in the beginning. I have no clue to how they got the money without a problem.

Consumer complaint received 11/14/2016 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (CA).
Issue: Other fee

Complaint: I received a notice from CITI that my Bloomingdales card, which I have n't used for a while, was enrolled in the " Credit Protection Plan ''. AND I was being charged {$.00} for every {$100.00} of balance, whether or not I was late. This was news to me? Never did I realize I had such a charge or signed up for this " Credit Protection? " I immediately called the number to unenroll and on the phone asked when I signed up, they said 2009? I then asked how much I had been charged to date and they said, " {$110.00} ''. I was pretty mad to know that they had charged me over the years and only wondered how many others this had happened to? I kindly asked for a full refund of the {$110.00} to which he said, " No. '' These deceptive practices may have been caught earlier by me if I was using the card regularly. I trusted Bloomingdales and trusted they would n't be charging me extra fee 's like this. I am very very upset that they would do this and not admit to the deceptive practices and refund me this amount. So I am turning to your agency.

Consumer complaint received 09-12-2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with LoanCare, LLC (SC).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: My loan was transferred From XXXX to LoanCare effective XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I was sent documentation from my previous loan servicer informing me of the transfer as well as LoanCare 's mailing address. I subsequently sent a payment by check to LoanCare 's XXXX. XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 

After noticing on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX that the check had n't cleared, I contacted LoanCare 's customer service department. I was informed to place a stop payment on the check and make my first payment to LoanCare by phone. I was also informed that any fee to process payment by phone would be waived as I am a new customer. I then set up ( with the customer service representative ) an auto draft schedule for my monthly mortgage payments. 

This afternoon ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ), as instructed, I contacted my bank and placed a stop pay ( costing me {$30.00} ) on my initial loan payment check. I then called LoanCare to make a payment by phone to find that ( as I have n't been sent any of my loan information ( e.g. account number ) so I could setup and pay from an online account ) I could either pay a {$12.00} processing fee to pay by automated phone service, or a {$15.00} processing fee to speak to a representative and pay. I opted to speak to a person, under the impression the fee would be waived. Once I was connected to the representative, I was informed that, despite what I the previous representative stated, not only was I still subject to processing fees ( thankfully the processing fee was waived ), but that a stop payment would n't ACTUALLY stop the payment on the check. Rather, LoanCare would still try to process the stopped check and I have would be subject tp ( yet another ) fee of {$20.00} for insufficient funds.
In summary, LoanCare 's inability to process a payment in a timely manner and misinformation of it 's staff has potentially cost me an extra {$65.00} on top of my mortgage payment. This is NOT an acceptable way to begin a business relationship. And judging by the many similar scathing reviews online, I 'm not the only unhappy customer. 

How LoanCare can resolve this issue : I respectfully request that LoanCare reimburse me for the stop pay I was instructed ( by a LoanCare representative ) to place on my initial loan payment as well as any subsequent fees and fines I may be subject to pay to my personal bank ( i.e., Insufficient Funds fee ). I also request that any Insufficient Fund fees to be paid to LoanCare by the homeowner be waived.
