Consumer complaint received 02/26/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (OR).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: We have been applying for a HAMP loan mod from SPS representing XXXX. We submitted a full financial packet in XXXX and then more in XXXX 2015. We were approved for a HAMP Tier 1 Trial Payment Plan in XXXX 2015, but our gross income input to the NPV was significantly higher than our actual income. We appealed in writing, clearly explaining and documenting our real income. Finally, in XXXX SPS responded to our appeal stating that they had checked and they reaffirmed that they were correct in entering our gross income. They wrote that we needed to pay the inflated trial payment by the first of the previous moth, obviously impossible. 
Three days later we received another letter from SPS saying we were not eligible for HAMP due to the new NPV which showed our gross income at {$2000.00} a moth less than actual. Our new Trial Payment would be almost {$1000.00} a month more than the previous offer. Our HUD certified counselor who had been helping us asked the agent on the phone, which income was right and which was the offer being made. She ( SPS ) told us both income figures were right ( even though wildly different ), and that we no longer qualified for HAMP 1, because we had not paid the inflated Trial Payment, AND that we could no longer apply for HAMP. We would have to pay their SPS offer at over 50 % of our gross income now, increasing to 80 % of our fixed income. 
If we did not, they would foreclose. 
She said there is no appeal to errors on their part on the NPV used to determine a modified mortgage payment.

Consumer complaint received 01-03-2017 about Bank account or service (Savings account) with TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (NJ).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: I keep contacting the CFPB regarding unlawful fees that TD Bank keeps taking out of my account. Not only did TD bank not refund all the unlawful fees that they took from my account they keep taking. I was told by the banker who opened my account at the time that I would pay no fees if I keep a minimum balance of XXXX $ in my checking account and make a monthly payment to a saving account of XXXX $ that I will no pay any fees on. I was misinformed by the Bank they where taking XXXX $ from my personal account and XXXX $ per month from my savings account. After filling a complaint with the CFPB in the past some of the unlawful fees where refunded to me. However XXXX stated that it was worng. They are now doing the same thing again charging me with a XXXX $ maintance fee that they said it was a mistake and they will fix it. I keep saying it but my voice is not heard TD bank discriminates on the basis of religion and national origin they want me to close my account because I have a heavy XXXX accent so they cause a lot of problems with my account. They also discriminate when it comes to credit they decline credit for me when other lender would approve. I hope that the CFPB will investigate this bank for its unfair practices.

Consumer complaint received 04-01-2015 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with BANK OF THE WEST (TX).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: I had a checking account with Bank of the West. Because I no longer live in a state they serve, I wanted to close my account. They told me the only way I could do that was by mail. I sent a letter, overnight via XXXX requesting they close the account. A few days later I received a cashiers check in the mail for the remaining balance. So far so good. However, I kept receiving forms in the mail informing me of overdrafts to the account. I do not know why, but apparently an old utility account ( XXXX ) was attempting to draw from the account. All utilities accounts which used to draw from the account were closed before I closed the checking account. When I spoke to the bank to explain the situation, I asked them to reverse the charges and clear my account. They were uncooperative and threatened to turn me over to collections. They said it should have been disclosed to me that there was a five day window. I was never told this. I was hoping they would come to their senses, but this afternoon, I received a call from a collector. The most striking thing to me about this situation is that the overdrafts were caused by Bank of the West writing me a cashiers check too early!

Consumer complaint received 07/18/2015 about Debt collection (Auto) with Applied Business Services, Inc. (NJ).
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Impersonated an attorney or official

Complaint: XXXX XXXX uses criminal thuggish tactics in an attempt to collect payments because I fell behind in my car payments. Their tactics have caused me and my mother unreasonable harm. For example, last week on Monday XXXX XXXX, 2015, at XXXX XXXX, an agent of XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Texas XXXX, repeatedly called my mother 's home. In Particular, one person who called, identified herself as XXXX XXXX, she pretended to be a law enforcement officer by stating that " she was with the investigation unit. '' She also disclosed that she was trying to reach me because they wanted me to turn in the car implying that it was a criminal violation to owe money on a car loan. That is bad, because it appears to be a violation of my consumer protection rights and a UDAAP. It is certainly an unfair practice that puts the bank and its depositors at risk because of possibility of claims and damage to their reputation - especially if XXXX XXXX takes interest. 
As I said, that was bad, but it was not as bad as it gets. Later that night or rather in the middle of the night at XXXX XXXX the next morning, another agent of XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX PA, actually came to my mother 's house. He pounded on her door and woke her up in the middle of the night! 
Imagine this : she looks out the window and sees someone with a flashlight in her side yard and backyard - and then actually pounding on the door in the middle of the night. She opened the door to a man in a uniform with stripes on his pants who identified himself as from the " PA Investigative unit! '' saying he was looking for XXXX XXXX. She said " for what? '' he repeated the question and then said he was looking for XXXX 's Dodge Dart. My mother told him she was calling the local police. She then came back to the front door with her phone in her hand and asked for his name and rank, He handed her a paper and said " You are served!!! '' She was scared to death, he appeared to be armed, but as she said she was calling the police he quickly left. He tore down the street out of town and went back to XXXX, Pa where we believe that operation is located. My mother was confused and did not call the police. She then looked at the paper he gave her and then she read that It only said " Sorry I missed you. '' I have the paper for you to review. But their tactics made her believe it was a legal process. Again, what government agency allows people to pretend to be law enforcement and knock on peoples ' doors in the middle of the night? 
Finally, I tried to catch up on arrears because of this intimidation and then they told me that they would not take the back payments that I had to pay the balance in full plus additional charges for their thugs. My account with XXXX is XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 10/28/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Specialized Loan Servicing LLC (CA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: In XXXX 2015 I refinanced my home through XXXX Lender for {$280000.00}. Subsequent to this, the loan was purchased by XXXX and servicing was initially provided by XXXX XXXX Loan Servicing Division. The first payment was due XXXX/XXXX/15 and XXXX serviced the loan through XXXX/XXXX/15. For some unexplained reason when I reviewed my payment history online, {$83000.00} had been added to the principle. It is obvious that something was wrong as the note and all my docs clearly show the borrowed amount as {$280000.00} ; Even XXXX XXXX account history shows the initial {$280000.00} as well as the addition of the {$83000.00} about 2 weeks later. I brought this to their attention and after many, many communications they said they resolved the issue and adjusted my account accordingly on XXXX/XXXX/15 ( I have included a copy of the payment history from Impac ). Their explanation was that somehow my loan docs had been mixed up with another and caused the addition of the {$83000.00}. About the same time they said the matter was resolved, they coincidentally transferred the servicing of my loan to Specialized Loan Servicing ( SLS ) which began on XXXX/XXXX/15. In reviewing my account with the new loan servicing company SLS, the {$83000.00} has been suspiciously attached to my account again. On top of all this, SLS now has my property confused as being in XXXX County instead of XXXX XXXX County for my escrow account tax payments. SLS customer support told me they will look into it, but something is just not right. I feel like someone is trying to hide this {$83000.00} back at XXXX or XXXX, which are both part of the same company. I am very disturbed by all of this and would like some help in finding a resolution. I have attached an account summary from SLS to show the current amounts they list as well as the payment history from XXXX XXXX to show the suspicious addition and deletion of the {$83000.00}. Thank You.

Consumer complaint received 04/15/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: We have been trying to modify our loan with Wells Fargo for about 3 years. The reason we wanted to modify was because in 2012 I injured myself at work. Due to the injury I lost my employment. Wells Fargo made it almost impossible for us to qualify for a Modification it got so bad that we ( my sister and XXXX ) went to a Law firm. This Law Firm ( Law offices of XXXX XXXX ) essentially just took our money and essentially prolonged the inevitable. We still lost our home to foreclosure. Prior to hiring this phony law firm we almost got scammed to short selling our home through this company called ( California free Legal ). They impersonated my sister on the phone and started the paperwork though Wells Fargo to short sale my home. I found out about this because somehow my other sister was looking at houses and saw our home for sale. We lost a lot of money trying to save our home. What bothers me and seems suspicious is that we had submitted all the paperwork they asked for. We got in touch with the XXXX they helped us communicate with the bank, and helped with filing out all the requested documents. The sale date for my home was for XXXX XXXX. We faxed all documents form the XXXX XXXX office on Friday XXXX, XXXX the people from Wells Fargo said it took 48 hours to complete the review. Tuesday came and they still had n't finished reviewing it. I believe that they were stalling so that the sale of my home could take place.

As part of the part I add extra insurance called a Debt Protection Coverage which covers if I or he become XXXX and/or dies the loan is paid in full after the 30 days waiting period. There was clause in the Disclosure of the Coverage that the only way that the coverage could be canceled is that the primary ( me ) dies or that I submit in writing that I want the coverage canceled. Unfortunately, my father passed within shortly after the signed that contract with USAA. My family and I received condolences from USAA and thanking us for my father service in the military. They requested a copy of my father 's death 's certificate. Of course, we complied with the requested because at the time it seem that financial institution request an official copy of the death certificate. In the process without any notice, USAA cancelled the Debt Protection Policy on the Auto Loan. I did not send in any document to try to active the policy on my father behalf this was some that they did on their own. I have contact their numerous times requesting documentation on why the policy was fraudulently cancelled and I have been hung on or place on hold for over 1 hour and half. I 've even went into the bank to the teleconference banking and they refuse to send me the documentation as why the policy was fraudulently cancelled. Since the cancelation, I have been diagnosed with XXXX and been XXXX by my condition. This situation is ruining my credit and should not have happened because USAA acted on the account with my knowledge and still will not provide any documentation as to what the damage that they did to the loan/contract agreement.
