Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: CHASE USING XXXX I deposit a check on XXXX/XXXX/2016 and Chase decided to put a hold until XXXX/XXXX/2016 when the check was from the same institution, yet on the XXXX/XXXX/2016 received confirmation from the check issuer proof that the check was cash and clear their account.

Consumer complaint received 09/13/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (GA).
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint: The only way to protect myself after the XXXX breach is to place a credit freeze. It is absurd that the XXXX major credit reporting agencies are allowed to charge money to initiate these freezes. There is no way to opt out of their data collection, they obviously can not keep that data secure, and they want me to pay my hard earned paycheck to each time I need to freeze ( and each time to unfreeze ) my information.

Consumer complaint received 06-08-2016 about Mortgage (Home equity loan or line of credit) with CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (NY).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: Since XXXX we have paid our equity loan on time up to including XXXX XXXX. Citizens Bank returned the XXXX XXXX payment stating the account XXXX is closed. When I called the bank, I was surprised to be referred to XXXX, a debt collection agency who then referred me back to Citizens Bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who said the account changed last year and is now in foreclosure and then referred me back to the collection agency. 

Last year we were in chapter XXXX bankruptcy and the mortgage and equity payments as NEVER included or an issue in bankruptcy and again we always paid on time. 

The issue is that Citizens Bank never informed us of the account change and continued to add late charges and penalties totaling {$2100.00} XXXX XXXX ( Citizens Bank ) stated that due to the bankruptcy reason, Citizens Bank could not contact us. I stated that every month the bank accepted our monthly payment and although we were discharged in XXXX XXXX, the bank made NO attempt to call, email or send a letter stating the account was changed. My attorney ( XXXX XXXX ) from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX wrote a letter ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) to XXXX XXXX, SVP Citizens Bank Mortgage Services. At this point in time, no one from Citizens Bank will respond or speak with me or my attorney regarding the negligence of imposing penalties and late fees. We are asking that the penalties and late fees be removed because Citizens Bank was negligent in not notifying us of the account changes and continued to impose penalties and late fees. 

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, we received the FIRST statement which shows fees and penalties removed and also added back in on the same statement. XXXX XXXX ( Citizens Bank ) said this was a confusing statement and referred it to her manager to respond to me. After two weeks, I never heard from Citizens Bank and called XXXX XXXX who stated her office was busy and can not speak further until payment is received including all penalties and late fees. 
My wife and I feel extremely frustrated that the bank has made no attempt to recognize the negligence with the only response is to put our home in foreclosure. 

Attached are copies of the letters from my attorney 's office, bank statement, Debt collection agency, and foreclosure notice from Citizens bank.

Consumer complaint received 11-01-2017 about Vehicle loan or lease (Loan) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MN).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Billing problem

Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I applied for an auto loan with Wells Fargo. To my knowledge, the loan was approved. For the last three years, they have been taking the monthly payment from my checking account ( with my approval ). On XX/XX/XXXX I  received a letter from Wells Fargo Auto Finance indicating my loan had been declined. I contacted Wells Fargo and was told that " It might be an error ''. I asked for a letter stating that and was told that could n't be done. 

It makes no sense that three years AFTER the loan application AND taking the monthly payment, that I should receive such a letter. Nor does it make any sense that they will not put in writing that this is a mistake. 

I contacted the Office of the Attorney General for the State of Minnesota. They have sent a letter to Wells Fargo and strongly encouraged me to contact you as well. 

I 've included the two-page letter from Wells Fargo, dated XX/XX/XXXX and the first invoice I received, showing the first payment was due XX/XX/XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 09-11-2017 about Mortgage (Other type of mortgage) with NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE (ID).
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint: Please see our 3 previous complaints filed on this case, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. After withdrawing from bankruptcy, we applied for a modification with Nationstar. We thought everything was worked out and that we could start making payments again. We left our home for the winter before Nationstar could get the modification paperwork to us. Even though the modification was not signed, we made payments as scheduled in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX of XXXX as well as XXXX of XXXX. When the paperwork finally reached us, we were in XXXX for the winter. We took the paperwork to a notary to sign it and have it notarized. The notary told us that he could not notarize it since the property was located in XXXX. We immediately called Nationstar and they told us that that was not a problem and that we could sign and notarize the paperwork when we returned to XXXX in the spring. In late XXXX XXXX Nationstar called us and told us that they would no longer accept our payments because the paperwork had not been signed and notarized. However, they kept the previous 5 payments we had made, a total of about {$5000.00}. As soon as we returned to XXXX, we contacted Nationstar in an effort to get the modification in place and resume payments. We have submitted the modification paperwork but have not heard back. Meanwhile a law firm, XXXX, sent us another modification application as well as a foreclosure notification. At this point, we are not even sure who we are to be dealing with. We assume that it is Nationstar. We expect to hear back from Nationstar within about 30 days on the modification. We need someone in your office to stick with us on this case until it is resolved. Every time we call Nationstar, which is often, we talk to a different person who has no idea what is going on in this case. If we could sit down in a room with a representative of Nationstar and an arbitrator we could solve this problem in 10 minutes. We want to keep our house but we are getting tired of fighting.

Consumer complaint received 03-06-2017 about Debt collection (Medical) with TENET HEALTHCARE CORPORATION (TX).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint: I have asked the collection agency as well as the hospital that sold the debt to provide me with paperwork that shows why I went to the emergency room and a summary of charges so that my insurance provider can correctly pay the amount owed. The hospital stated that I did not have insurance when in fact I do have insurance because the same hospital was able to get the physician charge settled through my insurance. I have called both the hospital and the agency to get this taken care of and to do get the correct paper work so that it can be settled and have been given the run around. As a result this has been placed on my credit report as a negative marking and has impacted my credit score because of it being considered a collection account.

Consumer complaint received 01/31/2018 about Debt collection (Other debt) with Lyons, Doughty & Veldhuis, P.C. (OH).
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint: whom it may concern : A notice of execution was placed on me. Im getting harassing letters and phone calls about what I allegedly owe through the company XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I have spoken to this company and multiple times and have asked for proper debt validation, which is allowed by Revised Code 1319.12, 1321.01,1321.51,1321.71 and 4767.031 laws and have been denied.

Today I was given information to contacted the law firm Lyons, Doughty, Veldhuis, P.C. ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and XXXX XXXX XXXX ) formally XXXX XXXX XXXX. I spoke to several associates XXXX, XXXX and their New Jersey Associate XXXX XXXX in an attempted to ask for proper debt validation. I was transferred several times and placed on hold. I shared with XXXX that the account had been closed and two cases have been filed under this collection agency. XXXX informed me that I could not receive any documentation and I should contact XXXX XXXX. I did as instructed only to have my call be redirected back to the law firm using the same number provided. Once asked why the call was redirected, XXXX explained to me that all XXXX XXXX calls are forwarded to Lyons, Doughty, and Veldhuis to prevent debtors to call seeking information. This comment caused concern and it was under my impression that the law firm and XXXX XXXX may be the same entity. However, I repeatedly asked for documentation to include 1 ) who transferred title of ownership on debt ; 2 ) who was the trustee ; 3 ) who has the certificate of notice/default. I also asked for a legible copy of judgment. The conversation was unpleasant and I was told that the law firm does not have a copy of the transferred Title of Ownership. 
The associate XXXX XXXX consistently attempted to discuss the debt and whether I would make restitution. He then responded back that they will send me what ever they have and stated that the time has lapsed to receive this validation when I stated to him I had the right to this info he kept repeating the statement they going to send what ever they had and I had no right to this validation request because time has lapsed. I stated I had the right to this info and he disconnected the call
