Consumer complaint received 04/24/2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: Please see attached documents : (  1 )  FACTS - CFPB  XXXX  (  2 )   Form  HUD-1 - Wells Fargo Bogus Demand Letter -   USAA Insurance f or Military Forensic accounting.xps  ( 3 )    XXXX   XXXX    Recorder 2015.xps M y story and my forensic accounting, from "  XXXX  independent professional sources, '' remain the same.      Wells Fargo  replies continue to present erroneous and changing information (  1 ) to backfill accounting errors, ( 2 ) to hide dual tracking, ( 3 ) to hide securitization of real property, ( 4 ) to defraud the Federal government and its tax paying citizens.      Moreover, I have learned that  Wells Fargo Bank  wrote a  20-year ac cumulation period Annuity Application at their   XXXX   XXXX  ,  XXXX , CA  XXXX  store, based upon a " telephone interview '' of my Mother in "   XXXX   XXXX  . '' The overwhelmingly egregious  fact is that my Mother  reached her mortality on   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  , "  four years prio r. '' Even if my  Mother had  been alive in   XXXX   XXXX  , a  20-Year perio d would have placed her at " age  XXXX  '' before annuity income from her otherwise liquid savings account. This action violates every  Senior Suitability and Compliance Law o f record.     Our family, that has ban ked at Wells Fargo since Year   XXXX , has been targeted by  Wells Fargo in its " 8 is  Great '' schemes. There must be some  Federal restitution to the victims of Federal Bank schemes to restore our hard earn ed estate.

Consumer complaint received 12/27/2017 about Checking or savings account (CD (Certificate of Deposit)) with BANK OF THE WEST (FL).
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Problem accessing account

Complaint: Our XXXX minor children have CD accounts with Bank of the West. The CDs are part of an inheritance that the children received from their paternal great grandfather. Per the requirement at the time the account was set up a custodial adult had to be part of the account. The only person in the Oregon area where the account was opened was a family friend of my husband 's XXXX parents. He agreed to be custodian and provide us with bank statements. However we have not been able to get bank statements for the past two years from the custodian and are concerned that something inappropriate may have happened to the account.

As the parents of the minor children on the account we can not get any information related to the account from the bank - such as the bank statements or account balances. We are unable to monitor to ensure the accounts are being handled appropriately. The most recent call we have made on this was to the contact center for Bank of the West and it was with XXXX ID # XXXX today, XXXX XXXX, 2017. She told us that there is nothing we can do to find out the balances or get a statement as we are not on the account and that we should speak to our children about the account. We explained that the children are XXXX and XXXX years old and we are just requesting a bank statement on their behalf. She told us we could not get any information on the account including the statements. 

We would like to put a family member on this account - if not my husband and I as the children 's parents - then at least my father ( the children 's grandparent ) as he has a vested interest in the account staying whole and being managed appropriately. The current custodian is a non-relative and we are having issues getting him to provide us with statements. 

We have not been able to get any assistance from the bank on either getting statements on behalf of our minor children or finding out which branch opened the accounts so we can add my father as a custodian to ensure the funds are not disbursed to anyone prior to our children 's 18th birthdays.

Consumer complaint received 11-08-2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (TX).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: Became XXXX and could not pay a 8.5 % int mortgage payment. I wanted help to lower payment for remainder of loan which is 5 years. My home is appraised at {$90000.00} and I owe {$30000.00} so I definitely do not want to lose my home. I do not live in my home, it is rented for {$600.00} a month and my payment is {$760.00}. My loan preservation specialist, XXXX XXXX XXXX, who is my contact regarding my loan modification application, is not taking my calls. Since XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX I left at least XXXX voicemails, left messages with his co- workers XXXX and XXXX XXXX, and sent XXXX emails. I have yet to receive a call back. On XXXX I received XXXX denial letters ( after 35 days of waiting ) XXXX states HAMP tier 1 denied because I do not live in home ( applied for help for rental ) tier XXXX denied due to not meeting program guidelines ( don t know what guideline is. ). The XXXX denial letter stated they denied due to home being vacant ( home has never been vacant ). Don t know what to do other than appeal. It also states Americas servicing Co ( Wells Fargo ) is Only servicing the note and XXXX is the investor. Very confusing especially when I can not get anyone to communicate with me.

Consumer complaint received 09-05-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (VA).
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint: A credit card has not been open but there was no other category for me to report this issue. Since XX/XX/XXXX to present, there have been repeated attempts through XXXX to open a Chase credit card in my name. The request is not approved as more information is being requested and because I already have an XXXX Chase card. The problem is that I must call several times a month every time I get a letter, go through the whole process, reopen a fraud alert, and neither XXXX or Chase have changed their process. I am told by the fraud folks at Chase, this is a known issue and they are waiting on a fix but in the meantime I must call every time, have the request to remove from my credit report, and extend my fraud alert. Both XXXX and Chase should know this is repeated against my name and Social and advise the person requesting that the request can not be open and to call a special toll free with Chase fraud or XXXX I should be sent notification that another attempted occurred, no action needed, and they have me protected. This should n't be that difficult to flag my SSN and since I do have a fraud alert, why does n't XXXX or Chase change what they have communicated to me or the person requesting the card. In addition, I have moved and the notices from Chase are sent to my old address since that is what the fraudster is using for the new applications. This shows a clear lack of agility by XXXX  and Chase to handle the increasing fraud attempts. While I am happy that no card had yet been issued, if I did not already have a card with XXXX Chase, and if I was not calling every week to close out new requests that one would have been issued. 

Update XX/XX/XXXX I now have over 20 applications and Chase/XXXX has yet to improve their process and I am required to call in every time, file a fraud alert, and they have yet to improve their process to detect these fraudulent applications. I should not be held hostage to their lack of investment in fraud detection and their excuses around inability to prevent an application. They should react both to my fraud alerts and have a special flag for my account based on over 20+ fraudulent attempts.

Consumer complaint received 07-09-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with DISCOVER BANK (NM).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: After reviewing my credit report noticed an account collection by XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 06/29/2016 about Credit reporting () with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL).
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: No notice of investigation status/result

Complaint: Experian continues to negate the facts of FCRA laws. I have asked countless times for inaccurate information on my credit file be investigated and shown proof per FCRA how they verified said account information. Simply telling a consumer that an account is verified does not show me how they came to this conclusion. Per the FCRA I want to be given the proof that I 've requested. The credit report I received does not show me anything but the words " verified, '' which is not what I asked for.

Consumer complaint received 05/19/2015 about Debt collection (Medical) with Commonwealth Financial Systems, Inc. (TX).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint: 1. Hospital visit XXXX XX/XX/XXXX2. My employer provides health care at 100 %. My XXXX XXXX company is XXXX3. XXXX paid the medical bills5. Then, in XX/XX/XXXX a collection agency, XXXX XXXX XXXX, placed a negative item in my credit report stating I had not paid the doctor. 
6. I call the doctor. They state that their accounting firm at the time went out of business and sold its accounts to a collection agency. 
7. We send an email to the Manager of the collection agency and spoke with his staff. They state they do not have the actual invoice which was not paid, only an entry in the database they received from the defunct accounting company. 
8. The item is removed from my credit report. 
9. In XX/XX/XXXX a different collections agency, Commonwealth Financial, places the negative item back in my credit report. 

Commonwealth Financial has this error in a database which they got from XXXX XXXX XXXX, which got it from the accounting firm which went out of business right after we used the doctor and XXXX paid the doctor. 
It seems that there is just a big scam where XXXX accounting firms sells accounts to another agency which further sells it to another firm, when in fact the first company had already been paid by the insurance company. XXXX collections agency scams another agency, which then scams another, when in fact there is no debt to collect as the initial firm received payment years ago. 

My credit score is hammered each time a collections agency buys the account from another XXXX and puts this incorrect item in my credit report. 

I need your help to stop this once and for all.

Consumer complaint received 03/25/2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: I deposited a check for {$550.00} on XXXX/XXXX/2016 into my checking account. On XXXX/XXXX/2016 the check cleared the Insurance Company 's bank and was paid. On XXXX/XXXX/2016 funds were still being held. I called & was told the hold was XXXX/XXXX/2016 because " there was a problem with the check ''. They could n't tell me what the problem was. I had a copy of the check, no problems. I was told to call the Insurance Company, that my bank had not called & I was sent a letter to call the Insurance company and to allow 10 days for the letter to be received. No joke! They actually said that! 
I called the insurance company, they confirmed check was paid out on XXXX/XXXX/2016. I called wells fargo again after receiving confirmation the check was cleared, cashed and funds sent, to be told that wells fargo was waiting for confirmation from the Insurance Company 's bank that they would " confirm that they were not going to pull the funds back ''. Are you serious?? This policy of a 10 day hold on money that they have already received and are holding is just stupid! One phone call to them for verification of this supposed pull back release would have made wells fargo " a personal bank ''. Tell me why. I do n't believe the XXXX people I spoke with at the bank. After getting to the XXXX superviser I was told the check did n't clear, the paper check, but that they had the funds on hold. I do n't know ANY bank that would send funds without clearing a check. I do n't believe banks send money out of the goodness of their hearts! They want guarantee 10 days later that the funds are good? That does n't make sense! The bank said I could file a claim, that would take 5 days. LOL Wells Fargo is holding funds 10 days on paper checks. There is nothing that can be done! They have the money, can use the money for 10 days before they release to account holders. I was told Direct Deposits are never held. Is that because they are a Federal Transfer? If Wells Fargo needs a " pull back release '' on all paper checks, why is n't this information given to account holders to deposit along with the checks?? Like an indemnity policy, that the check is good. lol Or a Federal Stamp of some kind from the issue bank? Is n't that FDIC guarantee for a check? 

I believe Wells Fargo should be investigated for unfair business policy in regards to 3rd party paper checks. That this " Pull Back Release '' needs to be investigated. I do n't believe it 's real. Wells Fargo should be slapped with a Federal fine for withholding accountholders funds without reason on funds received and already in their possession.

Consumer complaint received 03-10-2016 about Debt collection (Medical) with Gragil Associates, Inc. (NH).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Threatened to take legal action

Complaint: I have confirmed with the hospital the procedure was performed at ( XXXX XXXX ) that they got a notice that the statement was not getting to me. They ( XXXX in the billing department ) read my address to me as # XXXX, I told her it is # XXXX and she said " yeah that 's what I meant '' and changed it. 

The first contact from Gragil Associates, I explained that I never knew I had a debt and certainly would have worked this out with the hospital, and asked if I could do that instead. She said no, and that she needed me to pay the full amount or it would be on my report and they would take me to court. I said I could not come up with the money, but can make payments, and she refused. She said " they do not do that '' and I have to pay the full amount. Since then, I have received a bill every month, and every month they 're adding more negative comments to my credit report. Every month, I do the same thing, and call and say that I can make a payment, but she says the same thing " they do n't do that '' and she wants it in full ( yet they are reporting to the credit agencies that I am refusing to pay, which is not at all the case ). I got a final letter on XX/XX/XXXX that says " I fail to understand your lack of cooperation and feel this should be paid. '' I have been trying to cooperate since day one, but they keep falsely telling the credit agencies that I am refusing to pay, destroying my credit. XXXX XXXX XXXX refuses to take a payment unless it is in full, which I can not afford, and they will not give he debt back to XXXX XXXX hospital, who now knows the mistake that happened in the first place and would be willing to work with me on a payment plan. 

I would like these negative remarks taken off of my credit reports from them, as I am TRYING to take care of this debt ; in addition I would like them to accept some sort of payment, or give the debt back to the hospital, so I can stop receiving threatening phone calls and letters in the mail. 

In addition, it should be stated that I have tried calling every single day since the latest letter was mailed to me on XX/XX/XXXX, and am told every day that she is not in the office ; so now they are still sending me threatening letters and having other people call me, but she will not speak with me.
