Consumer complaint received 04/27/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (GA).
Issue: Settlement process and costs

Complaint: XXXX is with Ocwen, initially I had gotten behind on one payment. I called Ocwen to attempt to work out a time when I could get caught up. I had the money and would have made three payments to get caught up. They added fees and refused to let me work it out when they calculated my monthly income, which by the way was enough to pay on my loan as I had done for years. I had an incident where I had a family emergency and got behind. I called to let them know I would make three payments set up two in one month and the third being the second month catching everything up. They refused to do that because I did not qualify, then I was told to fill out HAMP paperwork and set up an appointment with a relationship manager. All of this was unnecessary and they were unwilling to work anything out. it was impossible to communicate with them because everyone was XXXX and in another country. I had issues before and requested to speak with someone in the U.S. and that request was never granted. I went ahead and let the payments go because with the fees and them telling me I no longer qualified for a payment arrangement, I put the house up for sale to avoid a foreclosure. So as of XX/XX/XXXX we have been working with Ocwen on a short sale and I hired a realtor. 
Shortly after that we had an offer that we, the homeowners accepted. The offer than went to Ocwen. 
Around XXXX XXXX, they disclosed that we would have to use an auction platform before they would consider approving the short sale- this resulted in us losing the buyer that had been in contract for months. 
Our file went through XXXX rounds of Auctions with XXXX the first and second without any buyers. 
On XX/XX/XXXX Ocwen completed new values and sent this information to XXXX so they would know where to market the property. 
On XX/XX/XXXX we were advised that this XXXX round of auctions resulted in a buyer. We then proceeded to send in paperwork each month for bank approval. We were told in XX/XX/XXXX everything was proceeding nicely and that the principle loan holder, Ocwen, had approved everything. 
On XX/XX/XXXX we were then told that Ocwen declined the file because the offer was too low!!! They were the ones that sent the information to XXXX. See attached. 
On XX/XX/XXXX when our attorney 's spoke with Ocwen they denied sending any " numbers '' to XXXX to market the property, however you can see that they infact did. Then initially when using this auction platform THAT THEY REQUIRED, they said they would pay to do that. Now they are trying to tack on the XXXX dollar auction premium to the buyer 's side. They also stated they did not set the values and that is why they were declining, when they clearly did, and because of that they would not net XXXX-XXXX more than what they are receiving now.

Consumer complaint received 09/15/2016 about Debt collection (Non-federal student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (MS).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: To obtain student loans my personal information was submitted to the Creditor without my knowledge and without my personal signature to validate any of the information given by the individual who received the loans. I requested over and over again for the company and collection agencies to please stop all collection efforts toward me. I provided proof that the signatures on the applications, did not match my signature, the spelling of my last name, address and place of employment all are incorrect on their loan applications. I disputed the accounts because they are NOT MY LOANS, NOR DID I CO-SIGN for these loans. These loans were granted to the individual without my knowledge and without any request from the creditor asking for approval as a co-signer. I am getting repeated requests and notices from different collectors to pay these loans. I have asked for collection actions to stop and for them to remove the negative infomation from my credit record. My requests go as far back XX/XX/XXXX via phone conversations, then via writing starting in XX/XX/XXXX. Now, they have turned this over to an Attorney firm that is once again sending notices threatening to take action. These are not my loans and I need this to stop as soon as possible and removed from my credit record. This is interfering with my health and XXXX to stay focus.

Consumer complaint received 09/20/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with ACS Education Services (MD).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint: My student loans are held by ACS. I have been paying on said loans consistently for over ten years. However, I recently returned to a XXXX  program and my loans were automatically placed into deferment. When I realized this, I called ACS to have the deferment removed and I immediately paid all accrued interest ( this Fall XXXX ). 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I received a notice from ACS that  they again placed my loans into deferment. When I called to ask why, I was informed that they " automatically place loans into deferment based on information from the XXXX XXXX XXXX ''. Essentially, I was told that my school reports the information to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and they, in turn, provide the information to various student loan companies. 

What I find troubling about this stems from the statements from ACS representatives. I was repeatedly told that " they are required to place my loans in to deferment based on a federal regulation '' and " there was nothing they could do to stop this process. '' When I asked them to provide me with said federal regulation, they were unable to do so. 

However, Title 34, Section 674.38 ( a ) ( 5 )  states, " In the case of an in school deferment, the institution may grant the deferment based on student enrollment information showing that a borrower is enrolled as a regular student on at least a half-time basis, if the institution notifies the borrower of the deferment and of the borrower option to cancel the deferment and continue paying the loan. '' ACS gave me blatantly false information on multiple occasions and has continued to place my loans into deferment after I notified them that I wished to cancel the deferment and continue to pay my loans.

Consumer complaint received 07-09-2016 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (NY).
Issue: Advertising and marketing

Complaint: Last year, I applied for the citi at & t access more card credit on the citibank 's website and got approved. On either their website or the card agreement I received, it is clearly stated that I will earn a annual bonus of XXXX thank you points if I spend XXXX dollars in the previous year. On XXXX XXXX, I called to check in how I am progressing in getting the benefit and when my next reward period starts, the representative told me, she told me she saw this as a one year promotion ending in XXXX and said that this is just a one year thing and would not happen again in the next year. 
I asked to speak to a supervisor to check in what has happened because the representative said that she could not tell me more, while being totally shocked about this. I stayed on the line with her for about one and half hour to get transferred but she told me that the supervisors became to be unavailable from available because they were taking calls from the new costco cards customers. Afterwards, I contacted the customer service through online chat, and I got the same answer ( conversation enclosed ). I was so disappointed that they made such a discrimination here and about the way they lied in their marketing materials. I am considering this to be a fraud. I spent two and a half hour on this but am still not clear what is happening. 
If it does not get resolved soon, I will probably take legal action.

Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: I have tried to resolve this alleged debt owed from  XXXX  to  XXXX . I tried to contact  XXXX  in reference to this bill and was told they no longer handle the account.

Consumer complaint received 03/29/2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with Fidelity National Financial, Inc (FL).
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, closed on a mortgage with XXXX XXXX ( formally known as XXXX ). Prior to closing, I purchased a title insurance policy with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for a {$730.00} premium to insure me against any title defects ; moreover to assure me, the buyer, that I have purchased a valid title, up to {$130000.00} ; which was the original cost of my home ( SEE LINE XXXX of the HUD SETTLEMENT STATEMENT I SIGNED AT CLOSING ON XX/XX/XXXX ). The XXXX employer, who supplied the closing documents, confirm with me during the signing process at closing that I did in fact purchased a title insurance policy that will be mailed out to me by XXXX XXXX XXXX within XXXX business after closing. 
It has come to my attention via the Independent Foreclosure Review that I may have been sold a home by XXXX who really did not have the right to sell me this home. It is my understanding that a title search is a means of determining that the person who is selling the property really has the right to sell it, and that the buyer is getting all the rights to the property ( title ) that he or she is paying for. In those transactions where title insurance is involved, the title company must determine insurability of the title as part of the search process. 

Unfortunately, On XX/XX/XXXX, while I was at work, I, XXXX XXXX XXXX, was forced out of my home by which XXXX, XXXX XXXX and its affiliates committed fraud upon the court, coercion, racketeering, conversion, GRAND THEFT, wrongful eviction, trespassing, breaking and entering, etc. with the motive to cover up all loose ends of this mortgage transaction by which they stole my locked file cabinet that housed all of my important files and documentation ; which included my title insurance policy, monthly mortgage statements, deed, birth certificates, etc. Nevertheless, my copy of my closing packet was at my mother 's house, due to the fact that when I closed on my home I went to her house and left that packet with her. As a result, my mother put it up for safe keeping, by which XXXX was unsuccessful in disposing of corroborating evidence of a mortgage that should have never happened in the manner by which it did. 

To ensure XXXX XXXX XXXX did not facility mortgage fraud via racketeering, illegal kickbacks, etc., I request the CFPB to see that XXXX XXXX XXXX to provide me with a copy of my Title Insurance Policy, along with a copy of the chain of title performed by XXXX XXXX XXXX which allowed me and XXXX to legally enter into a binging mortgage contract to permit us to successfully close on this mortgage on XX/XX/XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 05-01-2017 about Debt collection (Credit card debt) with FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF OMAHA (GA).
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Complaint: In  XXXX   XXXX , I got behind on my credit card with First National Bank of Omaha due to having a baby and being on unpaid maternity leave. I could n't catch up and pay the minimum amount due so I ignored it for a while. About a year later, a debt consolidation company  XXXX   XXXX  ) contacted me on First National 's behalf in order to consolidate. I worked out a deal where I would pay back half of the debt over a course of a year which amounted to about {$2400.00} and the other half would be reported on a  XXXX  Cancellation of Debt which I filed on my taxes for the year  XXXX . Since then, I keep having call after call from a different company/firm trying to collect on this same debt. I tell them that I have fulfilled the debt through a debt consolidation company and they say thank you and we will take care of it. Then a month or two later, I get another call from another company with the same story. So I tell them again what I did and they leave me alone. I have seen where they are going so far as to call my brother in another state and my in laws trying to find me. This is utterly ridiculous and I need help! Any help you can provide would be fantastic.
