Consumer complaint received 06/13/2017 about Mortgage (Conventional home mortgage) with STATE FARM BANK, FSB (MD).
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint: We desperately want to save our home. We 've been trying to get a loan modification with State Farm Bank FSB, but our efforts have been futile. We started this process in XX/XX/XXXX, it is now XX/XX/XXXX and no approval. The loan modification process is ambiguous and not transparent. The Consumer does n't know what to expect and all decisions are up to the Underwriter. The consumer is not informed of the process or criteria. As a consumer I should know what happens the moment the packet is received. There is no checklist of what is being done on your packet and how the decision was arrived at. State Farm Bank FSB, also does n't allow the packet to be emailed or Signatures to be docu-signed. Their system is on the cutting edge of functional obsolescence. You can only fax or mail documents. This considerably delays the process. We are not able to know the name of the Underwriter handling the modification. When items are supposedly missing we would receive a letter that comes ten to fourteen days later. By the time we 'd get it the other documents would expire. State Farm Bank would consistently ask for the same information over and over again.
<P/>I filed for Bankruptcy and State Farm Bank knew this, but they still requested I pay off liens that was on the property. We thought that was a good sign, and since State Farm Bank made this a condition of the loan modification we did as they requested. Once we got the property in good standing they denied the loan. Stating we did not live at the property. We are now out of pocket over $ 10K, this was money we were saving to pay towards the mortgage. <P/>I wrote letters to State Farm Bank 's Attorney, State Farms Management XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I also left a voicemail for XXXX XXXX onXX/XX/XXXXto return my call, but have not received a response or call back from the Manager yet. I also followed up my call with a faxed letter to her, have written to State Farm Banks Attorney and the managers at the company, however all my letters seem to fall on deaf ears. <P/>Since State Farm Bank denied our loan for not living at the property and we submitted proof that we do. Can State Farm Bank turn around and deny us for a different reason? Our packet should not have to sit on someone desk another 30 - 180 days while our mortgage and late fees are mounting, especially for an appeal. We was told there is no time frame for the Underwriter to make a decision on an appeal. This is totally unfair. <P/>I have called HUD counselors and done everything I can. We have done a lot of work to this property and have paid off liens. We want to save our home and are asking State Farm Bank to do the right thing and give us a loan modification.

Consumer complaint received 07/18/2017 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with Specialized Loan Servicing LLC (LA).
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint: XXXX   XXXX     XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  .
  XXXX   XXXX  , LA  XXXX  I became late with my mortgage due to illness and job loss and was approved for a short sale. I listed the property and an offer was submitted by my Realtor.   XXXX   made a cash offer on the property for more than the bpo. We encounter a problem due to communication : since the offer was from a corporation we were notified that the mortgage company needed articles of incorporations. That information was provided and a later email was sent and it was not sent to my Realtor requesting that they needed authorization from   XXXX   that the person signing the purchase agreement be confirmed that they were authorized by  XXXX  to purchase real estate on there behalf. The authorized person was out of the office due to illness and we had a delay in getting that document. It has been provided and sent to SLS and now everything is in place to move forward with the short sale. I am being told that since it 's 1 day late they are cancelling my short sale. I would like to short sale the property rather than it be foreclosed on. I found my husband dead on the porch of the property and I am now widowed with school age children to care for alone. We the 2016 Great Flood of Louisiana rentals are expensive and my hope is to position myself to purchase a home for myself and children. I have request that the foreclosure be proposed to move forward with the short sale. I do n't think foreclosure benefit anyone ; so I think that I am being treated unfairly. The area is crime ridden which is why my husband was murdered and the fact that we an offer from  XXXX  is a blessing.

Sub-issue: Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed

Complaint: I had a credit card  with Chase with a date o f last activity i n 2012 and  a Chapter  XXXX  bankruptcy discharge.  Today I received a letter stating that Chase was still charging my account late fees and interest. I called the number on the letter and was told that I had to call their " recovery '' department " to find out why they are doing this and to get them to remove it. '' I explained that this debt was discharged in bankruptcy and therefore there is no account or balance they can charge. The person on the phone acted confused, then agreed that her records showed this. Nevertheless she refused to tell me what Chase is up to, why they are still trying to collect a discharged debt and refused to resolve the issue. I told her I would not be making any more phone calls to " find out why '' Chase is deliberately breaking the law and would be filing a complaint.

Consumer complaint received 07/17/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with Seterus, Inc. (CA).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I have a loan with Seterus Inc. Loan number XXXX. I always pay on tine and never missed a payment. Last month in addition to my monthly payment of {$240.00} I transferred {$35000.00} in intent to cover part of my principal. Seterus, instead of covering my principal, transferred the money in to so-called Suspense account. I called them to make sure that they transfer the money from this account to my principal. They promised to do that, but of course never did. It is convenient to them to keep my principal higher in order to charge me more interest. This first telephone call I made was on XXXX/XXXX/2015. Since then I was calling 2 times a week to see what has been done. So far nothing has been done and they just feeding me promises and telling how hard and how long it takes to transfer the money from one account to another. So now after a month I have no choice, just to look for your help. 
Thank you so much for your help in advance, XXXX XXXX

Consumer complaint received 12/24/2015 about Student loan (Non-federal student loan) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (MT).
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't get flexible payment options

Complaint: Dear XXXX, XXXX school : XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Montana ; XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX : University of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; graduating XX/XX/XXXX Unfortunately, I received my XXXX private student loans through Wells Fargo. Post graduation, the multiple loans were consolidated into XXXX loan. I worked for a few years and was able to easily make payments. However, upon attending law school, Wells Fargo informed me I would not be able to defer my payments during school. Now, I pay over {$280.00} per month for my XXXX loans. These payments are crushing. To get by, I have been forced to use credit cards as I have n't enough money to pay for necessities. I use my federal student loans from law school to pay for the Wells Fargo student loan and now all of my additional credit cards. The money always runs out at the end of the year, and I end up racking up late payments galore. If student loans were dischargeable, I would have filed bankruptcy. If my parents had not have co-signed I probably would have quit paying them, becuase I simply can not do it anymore. 
I am in the top XXXX of my class and receive excellent grades. I have a job lined up for after school. I understand the nature of secured and unsecured transactions. I understand my contract obligations. However, before law school I was less savy. Had I known about the miserable circumstance I would be in now, I never would have consolidated my loans. I definitely would never have received a loan through Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo is 100 % unwilling to help. Their customer service representatives inform me that my type of loan is one of the only types that can not be deferred. This is predatory and unfair. This loan has ruined my life. I work 30 hours a week in addition to going to XXXX in order to make these payments. I am going to work 12 hours XX/XX/XXXX so that I can hopefully catch up.

Consumer complaint received 09/22/2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with Seterus, Inc. (FL).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: For the past year of 2016 I have sent several complaints to CFPB concerning the irregularities at Seterus Inc to no avail because CFPB has not, in my opinion, investigated thoroughly Seterus Inc. and put a stop to their abusive manner in keeping their doors open.Seterus Inc has disbursed my County Taxes late incurring a late fee on my account and not taking responsibility for it, so of course, that late fee is coming out of my pocket, not happy with that, it took them 2 months to disburse my home insurance funds, again incurring in penalty fees, and again out of my pocket. 
This being my third complaint this year, and I hope its the charm that will get CFBP on their feet and investigate, because of me being unemployed for the past 9 months, I was awarded a forbearance through Neighborhood Housing, for a period of 6 months, acknowledged by Seterus, per attached, and I am still getting phone calls everyday, receiving correspondence, I am late with the mortgage payment per attached, harassed etc. Is that not illegal? I know for a fact that a provider can not harass by phone nor mail after an agreement has come into place by both parties. How many more complaints against Seterus Inc is it going to take before CFPB puts a stop to the irregular way Seterus does business? XXXX XXXX was discovered and their fraudulent manner of opening bogus accounts by CFPB, why cant the CFPB uncovers the manner they harass and their ability to play with peoples mortgages, putting them at risk of loosing their homes.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: I got a loan with Drive Time in XXXX till XXXX, I was never late or missed a payment. XX/XX/XXXX I discovered my payments history was not reported to any of the credit agencies. Initially Drive Time refused to fix it and that is when I filled my 1st complaint with Bureau Of Consumer Finance. Shortly after I was contacted in writing by XXXX XXXX B. 
please see letter attached ( although she had the wrong year on top of the letter ) She contacted me in XX/XX/XXXX not XX/XX/XXXX. In the letter she stated " we are only able to reinstate paid loans through XXXX, as they are the only credit bureau with the ability to do so. This update should reflect on XXXX XXXX 's credit reporting with XXXX within 30-60 days. '' I accepted her terms, however till this day XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX tells me they never received the information from Drive Time to report it. XXXX provided me with a copy of my credit report showing no evidence of Drive time being reported. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX office on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX, I spoke with XXXX different people and they all claimed XXXX XXXX XXXX was not available. None of them seem to know about the letter from XXXX XXXX B in XXXX XXXX and when I brought it to their attention, they all said XXXX XXXX XXXX will have to call me back. I find this completely irresponsible from Drive Time and I ask for mediate compliance as per the letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX, please see copy attached.
