Consumer complaint received 11-10-2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (PA).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I had originally gone to a XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) for financial counseling with the goal of reducing my interest rate on my mortgage. Their suggestion was to assist me with a modification application. I found out several months later that there were far more effective ways to reduce my interest rate ( potentially a streamline refinance ). Furthermore the modification, while approved, was terminated as a consequence of my lack of financial hardship. Before applying, I had actively stated to my servicer as well as the counseling agency, that I did not have a financial hardship. The goal was strictly to reduce my interest rate. Now, my sister is very ill, and I have been traveling back and forth from my home in XXXX, to her home in XXXX. During this time, I was unaware that the modification had been terminated, and the monthly payments I had made were not the appropriate amount. Consequently, the delinquency started to have a negative impact on my credit and prevented me from more appropriate refinance options. XXXX, seeing the error had attempted to work with CHASE directly to no effect. However, this continued to drag out a timely resolution to this process. By XXXX, I had started again to work with chase directly. I had requested a payoff amount through XXXX XXXX from the escalation department in XXXX. During this time, a XXXX form the Executive Office, reviewed my situation, saw the problem and suggested that there may be a solution to accomplish the goal of the reduced interest rate ( suggesting modification or refinance ). However, I said that I may be interested but still requested the payoff. For the next several months I received letters stating to be patient and that research was being conducted. After growing impatient and concerned about accumulating interest, I had contacted them back to follow up in XX/XX/XXXX. Apparently the research was being conducted but they submitted a new request for a payoff. My family, increasingly concerned about my housing stability, felt compelled to lend me money to exit this situation. 

At this point, chase has drawn their line in the sand about the interpretation of events, and I am in a position where litigation would become too costly to resolve what for some people, would be a minor issue. However, I am on a fixed income, and the potential $ XXXX-XXXX in interest accumulation that would have occurred during these times, are the difference between me being able to cover the annual expenses on my home. Further more, my credit shows significant delinquency over the last several months while this situation was being resolved. I have gone from being able to borrow in the event of an emergency to being unable to borrow anything ( Fico XXXX of XXXX to Fico XXXX of XXXX ). The good will from my family has been exhausted and these errors have eroded my stability.

Issue: Getting a loan or lease
Sub-issue: Fraudulent loan

Complaint: Complaint already filed on XXXX XXXX of XXXX being worked on separately. I hate to file this on the bank but I have no other choice.

Consumer complaint received 01-03-2017 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (AZ).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: XXXX Payment - Same address as the XXXX listed on complaint This item is being disputed is due to communication breakdown between Wells Fargo and XXXX XXXX. I spoke with XXXX from Wells Fargo on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX ( His ID number is XXXX XXXX. I asked why have I not received any email reminders as I have in the past and he had no answer to that. I also received a letter on XXXX XXXX from Wells Fargo letting me know about the late payment, with nothing prior to that. This letter came after the fact, a phone call or email should have taken place to remind me of the late payment per my electronic communication agreement. The payment was made along with future payments, I would like to get the 30-day late payment removed from my credit report, since the payment was made and no communication with Wells Fargo took place reminding me of the payment. I signed up for electronic communication when this account was opened and opted out of paper communication. I should have received my monthly reminders as I have in the past, but that did not take place and was confirmed by XXXX XXXX, that I should have. I also spoke with XXXX ( ID # XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX around XXXX XXXX. and he did not help in any way, I have not missed a payment with Wells Fargo since I got my Mortgage with them on XXXX. I have always gotten the email communication. I have plenty of Cash in my Checking account, so lack of funds was not an issue. ( I can supply bank statements if deemed necessary ). XXXX also provided me with a phone number which they stated was used to let me know about the payment, but that number was no longer in service ( Since XX/XX/XXXX ). I changed the number on the Online system but according to them that never took place. I would like to have them remove the 30 day notice from my Credit Reports, since they did not provide me with the electronic communication which was agreed upon when I signed up with them. I have worked very hard on my Credit Report and it has decreased by XXXX points due to this matter, which I feel is due to their mistake.

Consumer complaint received 06/29/2015 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE (CA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2015 we refinanced our loan with Nation Star Mortgage ( the loan was already with them ). All disclosures, Estimated Fees and Costs, the Federal Truth in Lending Disclosure Statement, the Payment Letter to Borrower, the Impound Authorization and Payment Notification, the Initial Escrow Account Disclosure Statement, etc., and the repeated assurance of our loan officer stated the same thing : our PMI payment was {$330.00}. The first payment statement ( in XX/XX/XXXX ) from Nation Star had PMI at {$330.00} as agreed. Now on XXXX XXXX, I get a statement telling me that my PMI is now {$540.00} - a SHOCKING increase of {$210.00} every single month - that is {$2500.00} per year! I called Nation Star today and they had absolutely no information except to say that they ( the escrow department ) had " just gotten all of the information '' and that my PMI is now {$540.00} per month and that they needed even more additional money per month because they " did not ask for enough up front at closing for their 'cushion ' so there is a shortage that is also going to require an additional {$65.00} for the next year so that they have the proper 'cushion ' on hand. '' This is a fixed rate mortgage. The principle and interest are {$2400.00} per month. The disclosed/agreed PMI was {$330.00}, the hazard insurance was {$100.00}, and the taxes were {$390.00} for a total monthly payment of {$3200.00}. Now they are claiming P & I is {$2400.00}, PMI is {$540.00}, insurance is {$120.00} ( which I expected because Nation Star told us to get more insurance in XX/XX/XXXX so it increased the annual premium by {$100.00} per year ), taxes are {$390.00}, and the escrow " cushion '' shortage payment of {$65.00}, for a new total payment of {$3500.00}. This is almost {$300.00} per month higher than disclosed and agree just one month after our first payment! Had we known that the PMI payment could fluctuate like this, we would NEVER have agreed to this loan - we had other options! We spent over an hour on the phone trying to get some answers, but got no where beyond " that 's just what you owe '' and " that 's how the numbers came in when we got them. '' This can not be right! Please help!!!

Sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Consumer complaint received 10-02-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint: I have personally contacted XXXX, Experian , & XXXX credit bureau through phone, online, and certified mail. It has been 5 long months. Neither bureau can answer or explain the process that is taken to verify an account. I honestly admitted several times that I am unaware of the accounts Ive disputed but its becomjng more of a problem where I must take matters into my hands and contact my lawyer. We will be seeking legal matters. I have every right as a consumer because you have broken several FCRA laws. Section 609, 605, and  others but I want to get to bottom line of this. For the final attempt, what is the verification process? If you cant answer and prove the steps and process correctly by law you must remove the accounts that Im disputing. I have given you sometime to fix your errors but you insisted on being egotistic, and now you must pay the consequences for your actions in the courtroom. I have all evidence of the certified mail, phone calls that were recorded. I have my evidence and Im ready to take this to court and publish online about your company about the credit breach, you leaking my information, placing errors on my credit file, false information, not 100 % accurately verifying credit accounts & accusing consumers. I have contacted the creditors as well and this seems to be problem none are responding and are taking this situation as a joke which displays unprofessionalism total disrespect. Well see who gets the last laugh.
