Consumer complaint received 10/25/2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (NJ).
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Complaint: I have had repeated issues with Wells Fargo Bank acting in ways that make me question their intentions. A series of pressures to force the creation of accounts with fees and consequences where the representatives say one thing but the account documents differ. Over a 1 year period they saddled me with a business account with a fee structure that was essentially impossible to satisfy. Then refunded these fees when I pointed out the entire thing did not match the terms of the agreement or the words of their own representatives. For months their FICO system which claims to report every 30 days would run as much as 90 days without an update. I had to dispute payments at all XXXX ratings agencies to get them to report. Now, suddenly, since around XXXX XXXX, 2016 I am denied access to the online banking system because somehow my account username and password do not meet their requirements. Requirements they neither notified me have changed nor provided reasonable recourse to resolve. I am now a second class customer. I ca n't risk Wells Fargo abusing this opportunity to recreate my accounts. They receive a {$350.00} direct deposit twice a month and I ca n't even check my balance online or use their also broken autopayment system till I agree to these changes where no documentation has been provided at all and, as a member of the banking industry myself, they are obviously not being truthful about this being a compliance issue. I am filing this complaint because I think they are engaged in unethical behavior and given the recent reports of XXXX employees fired for making unauthorized account changes I no longer believe I can trust them. As I owe their institution nothing, I will simply draw out my pay on a regular basis in person until I get a rational expectation in writing why I should change not just my password, but also my username for their online banking.

Consumer complaint received 03/21/2016 about Mortgage (Other mortgage) with BOGMAN, INC (MD).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I short sold my home a few years ago and part of the agreement with my mortgage company was that I would have a $ XXXX payoff amount that would be paid back monthly. Initially this would be paid to XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank, but last spring it was sold to Bogman Inc. When it was held by XXXX XXXX XXXX I had major issues with their billing department, so my account was not accurate when it was transferred to Bogman. I contacted Bogman in XXXX XXXX to obtain a payoff amount for this account and did not feel that the amount that they quoted was accurate due to the issue that I had with XXXX I was asked by a representative who was handling my account at the time to document my poor customer service from XXXX XXXX XXXX because numerous customers whose loans they had taken over had serious issue with billing at XXXX XXXX XXXX. So, On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I sent a very detailed email to Bogman , Inc and part of my email stated XXXX under the circumstances, I felt that it was completely appropriate for me to refuse to pay the interest that Bogman was going to charge me for nonpayment for the period that XXXX XXXX XXXX Bank were the holders of my loan. That I attempted to pay this loan in full in XXXX XXXX, but could not obtain the correct balance information and as I had documented, I made numerous phone calls to XXXX XXXX XXXX that went unanswered. I was told that my account would be reviewed and that someone would get back to me. Needless to say, I have had to send numerous emails since XXXX XXXX inquiring about that review status of my account and no one has ever gotten back to me. Since Bogman took over my loan, I have never missed a payment ( until recently, I told them that I was not paying them until I herd from someone ) and I believe that they have just taken my payments and and applied a portion of it towards the interested, even though I stated that I was refusing to pay those. I have always been in excellent standing with Bogman ( at XXXX time they held my mortgage loan ) and they actually hold another small payoff loan that was part of my short sale agreement. I am completely frustrated that I have not received a response from anyone at Bogman. 
Thank you!

Synchrony bank is can not suddenly say, " oh by the way, you owe us XXXX more dollars 6 months after dog died?

Consumer complaint received 08/25/2017 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with QUICKEN LOANS, INC. (OH).
Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Complaint: I am currently working with Quicken Loans for an FHA mortgage. My issues started on XX/XX/XXXX with this company. 

In the contract from the seller, it states that I have already made a down payment of {$10000.00} dollars. Which means I would not need an additional down payment. Quicken Loans refuses to accept this. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was told that all of my asset verification documents were not accepted. I was given {$3000.00} dollars by my parents as a gift to use for the additional down payment Quicken Loans was requesting. All documentation was verified. And Quicken Loans rejected it. I have sent 3 months worth of bank statements, was told this was n't acceptable because they could n't verify where the money from my parents came from, when documentation and proof were given as they wanted. So I was told they needed 60 days worth of documentation from my bank again. I had {$2500.00} in my account, and they knew exactly where it came from, between my employer and my parents and refused to accept it. They keep changing how much I have to have in my account. I have to have {$2200.00} dollars in my account to close. I have over {$2500.00} dollars in my account and they refuse to accept it. Told me to wait two weeks so I could get two deposits from my employer and that would be acceptable. 

I have done EVERYTHING they have asked and they keep jacking me around and denying everything I send. I feel they are scammers. I never, ever had this issue buying a house before.

Consumer complaint received 01/15/2017 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION (MS).
Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint: Hello. On XXXX XXXX 2016, I opened XXXX checking and savings accounts with regions bank. I made a mobile check deposit and waited for the funds to be available, so after a few days I went to transfer money from that account to another bank in my home town and when I submitted all the information I.e. Routing, account etc. I was informed that they had to verify so ok no problem but when everything was verified and I tried to transfer all of a sudden my account was locked out so I called the bank and they informed me that I had to sign some verification forms as if my electronic signature was n't enough. So I travelled XXXX mile missing time at work to come home and take care of this. So when all this was taken care a few days later I tried to transfer money and also pay some credit card bill that I have accumulated due to not having access to my accounts and was told yet again that I needed to sign the same papers again. Got I. Touch with bank manager and he resubmitted the forms so days later it was ok until I tried to pay bill or transfer money again. XXXX of my credit cards actually went through for payment but the others according to credit company the money for payment was given then taken back. Now they say my account are locked out due to fraud which there is none and no one can answer my questions about what fraud has occurred. Spoke to the regions XXXX number and they said I had to get the bank manager to talk to tech support about my account to unlock it but yet again it is still locked. When I tried to close the account I was denied stating that I had to be physically at the branch to close my account. Well I did n't have to be there to open XXXX up and do n't have to be there to make changes or to ask about my account when I call online services. Now my bills are behind, When I asked what will they do about getting my credit fixed on all late payments due to there fouled system and I was told that they ca n't do anything. For all those that read this. STAY AWAY FROM REGIONS BANK. I can only assume there saying that my account is locked due to the fact they really did n't have any money to pay the recent judgement they received and are taken customers money to pay for it and telling them that there accounts are locked out because of fraud. Well I guess that 's partly true except there the ones that 's probably committing it.

Consumer complaint received 12-06-2017 about Student loan (Private student loan) with AES/PHEAA (NY).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint: I have been repaying my loan since its deferment ended. It is serviced by AES. My XXXX continues to be a cosigner on the loan and I undertook the process to remove him as a cosigner. I filed out the initial form on their website to do so, mailed it in in XXXX XXXX and in XXXX received a reply letter asking for further documents. I sent further documents in XXXX, in XXXX I received another letter denying again and asking for more documents. I sent these and finally in XXXX XXXX received a final letter denying my request. On the denial it states to call AES if I have questions about this decision. I did so but AES informs me that they are unable to provide any further information as they are only the loan servicer. They however can not allow me to speak with anyone from the actual lender to provide any clarification and simply ask me to submit a request again via letter. They have created a circular process in which the inertia required to accomplish anything is so great that most people will give up at some point. The only service my servicer is providing is to obstruct my access to my own lender in order to receive any sort of satisfactory response. Furthermore the credit score that they note in their reason for denial is inaccurate.
