Consumer complaint received 06/20/2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with QUICKEN LOANS, INC. (TX).
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2017 I spoke with a loan officer at Quicken Loans regarding a property that I am purchasing in XXXX, DC. After discussing the available products and interest rates, I agreed to proceed with an application in order to receive a pre-approval as requested by my seller.
<P/>
I was unaware at the time of the decision that the property that I was under contract on does not qualify for a conventional mortgage from XXXX XXXX as it is a new construction condominium and those properties do not qualify for delivery to XXXX XXXX from Quicken.
<P/>
Had I known this information at the outset, I would not have proceeded with the application process for two reasons, first, I spent about an hour reviewing my credit status with the loan officer ( after which I was approved for the mortgage then rejected due to the XXXX XXXX restriction ), and second, I did not want to be adding hard credit inquiries to my credit report if there was not going to be any way of proceeding.
<P/>
After pulling my credit and completing the application, the loan officer asked about the property and knew right away that it would be a problem, which of course it was. My issue is that I received a hard inquiry for a loan that Quicken Loans will not ever approve and Quicken Loans is not willing to ask the credit agency to remove the inquiry ( which there is a process for doing but may have a financial cost to them. ) I raised this issue with Quicken Loans and was informed that while they regretted that the question of the property type was too late in the interview process to avoid the credit pull, there was nothing that they would be prepared to do to rectify the inquiry on my report which resulted in my score being immediately reduced by the credit agency.
<P/>
I am unable to recommend Quicken Loans to other consumers given a process that is punitive to people 's credit which the company is unwilling to resolve to the benefit of consumers.

Consumer complaint received 01/28/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with loanDepot.com, LLC (IL).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I just received a new loan through LoanDepot. I 'm having trouble setting up an online account, as I want to pay beyond my minimum but i want to make sure I can set it up as additional principle. 

The web site wo n't let me register for an online account, and there is no phone number to talk to anyone directly. I emailed, and I got a response they needed more information - I do n't feel very comfortable sending my loan # and last XXXX of a social over email, but they wo n't communicate with me unless I do so. I 'm told 24 hour turn around. 

1 week later, I get an apology email for +24 hours to communicate, and then a " You can talk to us better if you click on email account rep in your loan account. '' But I ca n't get online. How do I communicate with a bank that communicates only online if I can not get online? 

I 'd love for mortgages to be like ANY other industry, where I can take my business elsewhere, if they 'll have me. I have perfect credit, I pay on time, and now I 'm stuck with this loan company? I do n't even know how to move forward with them. I obviously paid my first month through checking, but I like being sure my payments were received well before my payment date.

Consumer complaint received 01/23/2018 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (NH).
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud

Complaint: My husband XXXX XXXX X/XX/2017 ( he went to bed a healthy man and just after XXXX had a massive XXXX XXXX. My daughter and I did XXXX on him while waiting for XXXX to arrive ) a few days later I called to let CHASE CARD know. They repeatedly asked to speak to my husband to get authorization to talk to me?????? Totally upset I handed the phone to my aunt ( not even my husbands aunt ... .MINE ) they spoke to her!!!! They changed the card to me being the primary ( after my husband XXXX XXXX ) without my authorization ( Iwas originally only an authorized user ) I have requested repeatedly that something/anything be mailed to me showing that I gave authorization for this change. They did mail me a copy of the original application that shows my husband as the primary, no secondary and me as an authorized user only. After receiving this they still refuse to remove my name from the card and asked me to mail them a copy of this????? They mailed it to ME why would they then need me to mail it to them? The ENTIRE time that we had this card I would have to have my husband call to give authorization for them to speak to me about anything except making a payment. They also closed the card ( not me ) they continue to call and harass me, They called me 3 times ( even after telling them where i was ) while I was at the hospital waiting while my daughter was having XXXX XXXX!!! They are ruining my credit and will not wash the balance on the card and leave me alone. I would like to have my name removed from the fraudulently opened card, have the balance removed from the closed card and have my credit restored. ( XXXX has already done this XXXX XXXX has not as of yet ). I have repeatedly asked them to turn it over to an outside collection agency as an outside agency will require them to prove this is my bill, yet they continue to try to collect internally.

Consumer complaint received 02/13/2016 about Debt collection (I do not know) with Monarch Recovery Holdings, Inc. (TX).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: For the past two to three months, I have been receiving calls from Monarch Recovery Management attempting to collect a debt. The callers leave a message on my cell phone voicemail because I do not answer calls from callers not in my cell phone address book or callers with an Unknown caller ID. The phone numbers being used to call me show up in my caller ID with no name. The area codes used are XXXX and XXXX. The phone numbers change within the XXXX area codes on subsequent calls. 

The callers identify themselves as Monarch Recovery Management, stating that this is a call from a debt collector. Sometimes they say they are calling to collect a debt. In ALL cases, the callers NEVER give the name of the supposed debtor. On occasion no message has been left at all. 

I do not have ANY delinquent debts, so I should not be receiving debt collection calls.

Consumer complaint received 03/16/2016 about Credit reporting () with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX).
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint: I initiated a dispute with TRANSUNION last year to challenge some inaccurate and unverifiable information on my credit report. At the same time I contacted the creditors in question per my right under the FCRA. I have received no response from the creditors and the credit bureau has stated that they verified the accuracy. I have requested in XXXX separate letters the " verification of procedures '' on how they contacted and verified these accounts in question. They have failed to provide this to me in writing. The issue I 'm having is that if the creditor supposedly verified with the credit bureau then why did they not verify with me, the alleged debtor. 

TRANSUNION has failed to comply with the federal laws in place to protect consumers from inaccurate or false reporting. This lack of due process and disregard for the federal mandate has placed a burden on my credit report and my family 's future. 

Please assist because I have no other way to turn, my next option is to hire a civil attorney. 

Thank you, ** all documents sent are provided in the document upload section on this complaint **

Issue: Privacy

Complaint: A XXXX form was sent to an address XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX TX XXXX. I have never lived in a city or at that address.

I have contacted CHASE credit card to inquire how and why this happened as I have lived at the same address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX TX XXXX for 13 years.

Consumer complaint received 05/26/2016 about Mortgage (VA mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MO).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: Here is the complaint letter that I sent to the CEO office : I am XXXX of your customers and I was hoping to seek your assistance with my mortgage. 
I am really getting frustrated with getting a problem resoled and I know that your company does n't want the customers to feel that way. A SALE DATE IS SCHEDULED FOR XXXX I have been trying to obtain a loan modification with your company for many months, however it seems that Wells Fargo does not want to help with this. 
I am recently going thru your re-entry team and we have been in contact with them regarding the file. 
Back in XXXX XXXX, we submitted the workout review and was denied because of the income was not sufficient to support the modification. 
Then we resubmitted a new application and in XXXX XXXX, we were told that the file was removed because there was an incomplete application and documents were not submitted on time. 
On XXXX XXXX, a new application was resubmitted and according to the underwriting department in the re-entry team they reviewed the file as of XXXX XXXX and the XXXX stated that there was not enough income to support the modification. 
I called the re-entry team and was advised that the new application was not reviewed showing the updated income supporting the new modification, that instead they reviewed the OLD financials and not the current ones. 
At this time, I am requesting for Wells Fargo Executive office to review my file and to postpone my sale date so that they can see for themselves that what they are doing is injustice I have been working very hard and providing Wells Fargo all the documents way ahead of time, but it seems that they are not willing to help me out with my situation. 
I LOOK FORWARD ON HEARING FROM YOU.
