Consumer complaint received 08-07-2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (VA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Ocwen is reporting me late to the credit bureaus even though I 'm using their bimonthly service. For example, payments will be received timely by Ocwen, but they do not post them timely. Most recently, I received a default letter from Ocwen, when my payment is current. I 've called Ocwen before about this, and was told numerous times, that I was n't being reported late to the credit bureaus. In my opinion, Ocwen does n't know how to handle a bi-monthly payment - they are holding funds in the suspense account w/out applying them in a timely fashion. I want my credit report corrected to show that I have had no late payments with Ocwen since XXXX, XXXX. They are reporting me late for XXXX, XXXX and for XXXX, XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 02/21/2018 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with MERCEDES BENZ FINANCIAL SERVICES (FL).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint: My father purchased a car for me in XX/XX/XXXX. I did not cosign for the car. The car never once was reported on my credit report until XX/XX/XXXX when my parents filed for Bankruptcy. The car was repossessed and I am assuming that since my parents did not include the car in their BK filing, that XXXX XXXX had to hold someone liable for the car, which was me. Why did they take 10 years to report this car on my credit report AND they report it as a delinquent account. What happened to ALL of the on time payments made for years? Why was that ever reported on my credit report, since they deemed me liable? But NOW, I am liable, so they decide to place it on my report as a delinquent collection account. Not right. Not fair. I was JUST in the process of buying a home and then this account came up and put a long pause on me buying a home.

Consumer complaint received 08-04-2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MA).
Issue: Using a debit or ATM card

Complaint: My wife and travel frequently for business. We have banked with Bank of America for years. 
We typically use our main account debit card to get cash in local currency at an airport ATM when travelling internationally. This worked for my wife on XXXX/XXXX/2016, for instance, in XXXX. At the XXXX my wife was unable to get cash using her card through an ATM in XXXX. When I went to our local bank branch and spoke with the manager, I was told that BoA now requires posting a prior travel notice online in order for international ATM transactions not to lock a debit card. She said that if such a notice was posted, the card would work unless there were other " suspicious security factors. '' On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I posted such a travel notice on the online banking BoA site for my debit card and received an email receipt. On the morning of XXXX when I tried to use my card to get XXXX from an ATM in XXXX airport as per my travel advisory, my card was locked. I spent over 40 minutes in the airport trying to get through and finally was told by an automated system that the office would not open until Monday. I was finally able to get XXXX on XXXX. 
When I returned to XXXX, I went to my local BoA branch and made an appointment to speak with the same manager that I had spoken with before. Her assistant confirmed that the card had been blocked, that there was a valid travel notice, and could not cite any other security issues. When I returned, the manager was unavailable and did not call me back. Her assistant promised that I would receive an explanation of my card blockage by Monday, XXXX, but I have not been contacted. 
I find this both extremely frustrating and dangerous. My BoA branch can not explain why the card was locked. My online alerts document that I posted a travel notice but mention no security issues. The process of trying to get a card reactivated involves yelling personal financial information into a cell phone in a crowded and noisy airport. And since work has required my wife and I to travel over the past few years to XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, I do not approve of any " security '' scheme that prolongs a traveler 's time in an airport or other public transport hub.

Consumer complaint received 09-10-2015 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NJ).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: I wrote a check to my Local XXXX in XXXX NJ on XXXX/XXXX/15 for {$27.00}. The clerk told me he would have to keep my check and present it physically to the bank instead of by ACH, and could not return the check to XXXX know this sometimes happens. 
Check # XXXX was then presented on XXXX/XXXX/15, electronically. 
Check # XXXX was once again presented for payment physically on XXXX/XXXX/15. 
This was an error on the part of the merchant, and the bank ( Wells Fargo ) for paying out XXXX on the same check number for the same amount. 
When I brought this to Wells Fargo 's account and pointed out the error, I was told they had to present this to their " Claims '' department, and it would take them up to 10 days for review. 
I have never heard of such a thing!! They made a mistake, and it was brought to their attention! Why the problem with refunding my own money. It is so clear if you look at my checking account to see what happened. 
I mentioned to Wells Fargo what happens if I overdraw due to this money waiting to be refunded. Oh, of course, they say they will refund any fees, but good luck with that. Also, that amount missing in my account could cause me to overdraw more than XXXX item!! 
I live paycheck to paycheck, support my XXXX year old mother, and can not afford mistakes like this or the bank 's cavalier attitude towards correcting what is very clearly a mistake on their part. 
That is why I am reaching out to this agency. 
Well Fargo has a poor reputation, and loves to charge people fee after fee! 
I even have to pay a {$12.00} fee for them to transfer money from savings to checking in case of overdraw!! 

Is that right??? 
Why is this bank allowed to treat their customers this way? 

Pls help. 

Thank You, XXXX

Consumer complaint received 09/23/2015 about Mortgage (Home equity loan or line of credit) with Seterus, Inc. (GA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I have started this process in XXXX XXXX and as I write this letter there has not been any resolution. My husband passed in XXXX of XXXX. He tried for a modification and he died before any resolution. So, I lost my job in XXXX XXXX, and been trying to keep up, but found it difficult and started the process XXXX of XXXX of modification and assumption which customer service representative stated I could apply for, and I find myself hitting the same brick walls.. In fact, today I received a letter from the mortgage company threatening to foreclose on my property ( demanding all monies due on the home ). Although, the customer service representatives are telling me and have been saying that I am applying for modification, not to worry. Every time I have called there has been a problem with what was sent, even though it is actually what was asked. In the beginning I did not call on a regular basis because I thought that the mortgage company was working on my file. The customer service representatives told me it could take a couple of months. But as time progressed I became concerned and begin to call and found out that no one was working on my file because the documents I sent had expired. One particular incident stands out to me :. So when I called to get an update, the customer service agent I spoke to this time stated that my P & L was not signed, so this is why no one has looked at your file.I was told that my P & L statement was n't accepted because I did not sign and date it. I had called at least XXXX times prior and no on ever told me that this was a problem. In fact, I had to send another P & L because customer service stated the last one was outdated and still no one stated that I needed to sign and date. Are you kidding me!!! And this has been the story until today. I am attaching a portion of the correspondence that has been sent to me during the process of apply for an modification. I think my documents should be reviewed in a timely manner and someone assigned to my account should send me an update on a weekly basis.
