Consumer complaint received 02/25/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (MO).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I recently went though a divorce and was awarded the home. I called Bank of America to see what process I should take to remove my ex spouse from the home loan. I was informed that because I had no equity in the home that the only way to remove his name was do a home loan modification. I informed the representative that I am financial able to handle the note and did n't need to modify the payment. After talking to several representives they infirmed me that after the modification my ex name would be removed. While going through the process of modifing the loan. I was working with XXXX XXXX, who also informed me thay after modifying the loan my ex name would be removed. She also informed me to do a Quit Claim Deed.The following day I went down to court house and was informed that my ex had to file the Quit Claim Deed. I informed her of what I was told my the courts and she infirmed me to do the modification and his name would be removed. I did the modification to only find out that his name was not removed. I spoke with XXXX on several occations about this and she informed me to wait one year and do an assumption. I waited the year it and apply for the assumption and was denied. I called Bank of America and spoke to XXXX, XXXXr in the assumptions department. He apologized for the information that was relayed to me and informed that that under normal circumstances it will take one year for and assumption to take place ; but because of my situation I have to wait 2-4 years because I should 've assumed the loan and not modified it. I informed him that I did wait Bank of America representive told me to do to remove my ex name. Still it was n't anything that he could do to help.

Consumer complaint received 11-02-2015 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (DC).
Issue: Closing/Cancelling account

Complaint: My Citibank card was closed due to " inactivity '', despite heavy banking activity with Citibank on the checking side, heavy use of another Citibank card, and no warning that cards can be closed due to " inactivity ''. Approximately four hours after receiving the notification, I called Citibank to get the card re-opened and was told that this would entail a hard credit pull, which would further damage my credit. In addition, this was my oldest tradeline, and there seems to be no indication that this would actually re-open the account -- it would just create a new Citi Dividend card, which I do n't want. I want the old account re-opened. XXXX in the Florida office was exceptionally rude to me, and not very understanding about the situation.

Consumer complaint received 01/19/2017 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (AL).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint: I have had the same student loans in my name since XXXX XXXX. My ex husband was ordered to pay them in the court of XXXX County Alabama. He of course did not follow through. I have been put on forebearance and on income driven repayment plans as well as in default before, where they took every cent of mine and my husband 's federal income tax refund ( which was over $ XXXX ). in review, I have noticed that I have several old accounts on my credit that reported as of XXXX, that were. NOT servicing my loans and that has hurt my credit. Navient has had my loans for a while. I paid {$50.00} a mo for 6 mos and I was supposed to be " forgiven '' by one of the " servicers '' and once those payments ended, they stopped taking the money and ended up going into default and then being sold off to other servicers. This is bait and switch. I make $ XXXX a year and can not pay anything back, especially since these student loans are over 20 years old. Currently, I am on an income driven plan with Navient and XXXX. I do.not understand why I have so many different servicers. I have asked in the past to have them all consolidated, they say ok and never do it. So I get one caught up with whatever they can give me and then the other is not. This is so confusing and never ending. I also want to know where that $ XXXX went bc I should be $ XXXX less than I was. It is n't showing that. I am very frustrated and tired of having to worry about it bc they hit my credit..Also, I applied for IDR from Navient, sent in all my Info and they said they could n't read it and I had to resend. Sadly, they did some system update and it kicked out EVERYONE who was trying to get any sort of repayment plan approved so they put me into " forebearance '' until XXXX to get things " fixed ''. This sounds a lot like the whole mortgage industry XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 12/26/2016 about Student loan (Federal student loan servicing) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (FL).
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Received bad information about my loan

Complaint: I was sold a predatory loan at the University of XXXX in the XXXX XXXX via their bursary office and XXXX Bank in XXXX which then was bought by Wells Fargo ( specs avail ). I was never told that I would pay interest only first, also encouraged to pay the minimum payment ( see billing ), was told I could not refinance 8.5 % locked rate and that they would capitalize the interest during hardship! Moreover, minorities were given higher rates and the loan was sold to XXXX loan servicing so you could not refinance with them ( not a bank ; brilliant move by all parties involved ). I 've paid more than {$47000.00} for a {$30000.00} loan and still owe {$42000.00}! I was finally able to move the loan to XXXX years later which offered reasonable terms but still a high rate of interest. Many of us were taken advantage of by CU/Norwest/WellsFargo/Nelnet combo XXXX I have spoken with the FTC and they told me to take it up with the Dept of Education and Congress, they make the rules. No question universities and banks colluded to offer horrible terms in the XXXX XXXX to tens of thousands of people. XXXX said she would fight for us that were taken advantage of by Big Banks and she has done nothing. So let me get this straight, the US government bailed out wrecked banks, gave them money at 0 % to help consumers with bad loan terms and to boost the economy, yet it never trickled down to us that actually pay student loan debt ; in fact, you offered loan forgiveness to many except for those that actually pay their loans. I 'm working with a lawyer to put this whole University of XXXX, XXXX Wells Fargo XXXX story out there and how the CFPC has done absolutely nothing since my first complaint. I pay my debts and a reasonable rate and terms I 'm willing to do, but what happened to many in the late XXXX early XXXX is shameful ; the US government lends banks money for almost free and they turn around and crush citizens with horrible rates and terms. Why have n't you helped us? I 'm still paying a high rate of interest at 6 % ... The government should cram down rates for all high rate student loans and actually protect us from predatory bank practices that continue today. That would help the economy and not just the investor class.

Consumer complaint received 06-02-2017 about Debt collection (Credit card debt) with STONELEIGH RECOVERY ASSOCIATES, LLC (TX).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying

Complaint: I received a call from Stoneleigh Recovery Associates XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX. A " XXXX XXXX '' left me a message to return his call at XXXX, The call was spoofed as " XXXX '' I guess to appear as a local number so I would answer. I returned the call and talked to XXXX XXXX and he advised me it was a an attempt to collect on an old XXXX XXXX credit card debt. I advised him I did not wish to speak to him about and and asked he not call me any more and he kept pushing me telling me to handle my responsibilities, get out my check book and the whole nine yards. he just refused to accept that I did not want to speak to him. My issue with XXXX XXXX is between myself and them. If they have chosen to sell the debt some day i may be able to resolve it. My complaint is this guy just continued to badger me over and over. He claims it was recorded. Please ask for the recording. the call was from XXXX which is my cell phone and i was at work. I do n't believe that spoofing numbers is allowable under the FDCPA Section 807 : A debt collector may not use any false, deceptive, or  misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. I also think that the continual repetition of " taking care of my obligation, get my check book '' and general attempts to badger me simply because I refused to talk to him could be construed as a violation of section 808 as well : A debt collector may not use unfair or unconscionable means to collect or attempt to collect any debt.
<P/>
I want the calls stopped and I want an investigation into the violations I cited above

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: Experian sent me dispute results and a credit report. The results from the dispute are inaccurate. The dates on the dispute results and on the credit report are not the same. The representative on the phone provided me with different dates as well. The negative items should have been removed from my credit report by law. Experian representatives are placing the blame on the companies, stating that the companies are reporting the information inaccurately.  (    XXXX   XXXX   and   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX    ) If experian just monitored the information reported, they would clearly see that the dates   reported have changed. This is  Fraud.

Consumer complaint received 04-06-2017 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (CT).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX I took out a loan with Regions Bank for the purchase of a personal vehicle. Over the course of the loan there has been a couple issues with payments not being applied correctly or in a timely manner. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted vehicle loan payment to Regions Bank for the amount of {$800.00}. Approximately one week later Regions Collections dept called and advised that they have not received payment and needed payment to be submitted at once to keep the account from going to collections. At this time I contacted my bank ( XXXX ) and received a proof of payment AND a copy of the check that was sent to Regions. This copy of the check was endorsed/signed. This info was provided to the collections department ( XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX advised that she was going to have to escalate this issue and have it investigated by Regions. XXXX also advised that Regions would contact me and let me know the status of this issue. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted the collections dept again and was told that they still did not have any resolution and I should speak to a supervisor. I was given the name of XXXX and spoke to him on Monday XX/XX/XXXX. He also advised that this was going to need to be investigated by the Region team and to call back on XX/XX/XXXX. At this time XX/XX/XXXX I also submitted a copy of the proof of payment and a copy of the endorsed check to XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX regarding the issue with this account. He stated that Regions did look into the account even after reviewing the XXXX supplied Proof of Payment and copies of the check Regions will not apply the money to my account. Regions stated that it is up to me " XXXX '' to prove to Regions that the check has been cashed. 

Regions has provided no assistance in correcting this issue other than advising me that they supposedly do not have they money and I need to prove to them that they have the money before they will apply the payment to my account.

Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint: I have noticed that a company by the name of Pinnacle Credit Services have listed a debt on my consumer credit report. I have disputed the listing with the XXXX major credit bureaus because i do not believe that this debt belongs to me. I have never received any correspondence on the validity of this debt by mail or by phone, however it has been listed on my credit reports. This account has since been removed from XXXX of my credit reports XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, but is still listed on my XXXX credit report. I have reached out to Pinnacle Credit Services by mail asking for documentation ( debt validation and or debt verification ) and nothing has been done. I have informed them that i am fully aware of my rights and have asked for timely verification ( i.e. amount of debt and name of creditor ), and still have not received any. This listing on my credit is having a major negative effect on my XXXX credit report. This company should know that they are required to provide debt validation when asked by the consumer per FCRA requirements. Please look into this matter.
