Consumer complaint received 12-10-2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with OCWEN LOAN SERVICING LLC (MD).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: Dear XXXX, In the last 9 years, my husband and I have tried to get a home modification loan on XXXX separate occasions. The first time was in 2011 when I was unemployed. At that time we were going on XXXX late payments and the loan servicing company ( IndyMac ) sent an intent to foreclose letter. We took out a loan via a family member to avoid foreclosure because I researched that other IndyMac customers had experienced that IndyMac would foreclose immediately and would never try to assist but hold up the loan modification paperwork. They had already sent someone to take pictures of our home so we knew it was only a matter of time before they would continue to the next step in the foreclosure process. 
Currently, Ocwen is servicing the loan and again we applied for a loan modification but was denied. However, Ocwen recommended a short sale. We were informed that we were not delinquent although we communicated in an affidavit hardship letter what our fixed incomes would be when we retire and they continued to ask for more and more paperwork. We were trying to prevent a foreclosure or short sale so we were hoping they would refinance. 
To date, we have invested XXXX of dollars in our home so we would like to keep our home as now our payments would be going more toward the principle and eventually we would be able to sell our home to at least break even and not damage our credit score. I find it extremely difficult to believe that there are no other options for individuals who could not obtain FHA loans before the housing market plummeted and were literally forced into high interest jumbo loans via XXXX and XXXX conventional/equity loans respectively. We are unable to refinance homes that are significantly under water yet the loan servicing companies have collected XXXX just in interest alone but encourage foreclose or short sale as only options, yet we have decent payment histories. 
What are the options for individuals who are already living pay check to pay check because of these high interest jumbo loans on properties that are significantly underwater through no fault of their own? To continue to pay a loan for a home with a significantly diminished value or risk foreclosure or short sale and the home is resold to someone else for XXXX of your loan amount are all horrible options. We would appreciate your advisement and assistance to seek a fair resolution.

Consumer complaint received 01/19/2018 about Student loan (Private student loan) with Navient Solutions, LLC. (MD).
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Complaint: Hello! I graduated in XXXX. Months prior to graduating, I requested to consolidate my 8 private student loans. XXXX XXXX, at the time, told me I had to wait til I graduated to our so. Upon graduation in XX/XX/XXXX,  XXXX XXXX told me they NO LONGER consolidated. I participated in forbearance after forbearance because the amount requested that I pay was over 1200 a month and I worked as a XXXX XXXX XXXX. In XXXX, I lost my job and was given NO relief. I would send {$50.00} a month just to pay something and my credit suffered tremendously. My struggle/fight with XXXX XXXX began in XXXX and still goes on today. My credit remained effected from XXXX til literally last year, even though I was making my monthly payments. A few years ago, I actually hired a company to help me fix my credit and deal specifically with XXXX XXXX/navient.For the past 6 years I have worked for a XXXX XXXX and have had to report my credit problem specifically with XXXX XXXX because you must keep your credit score at a decent level to maintain your job. Even in getting this job 6 years ago, I had to write a letter to the agency that I 'm currently employed, explaining why my credit was so terrible. And it was all having to do with XXXX XXXX/navient. They were able to investigate what I stated in my letter and found truth in it and waived the credit requirements and offered me the job. I am writing to ensure that I am included in the lawsuit being filed. I 'm not sure what documents that I have but I know I have dealt with you all in the past. My last name may have been different at that time. And I 've also had dealings with the " financial advising '' third party company that supposedly woed with XXXX XXXX and would help me and woukd recommend payment plans, etc. I spoke with them, told them my situation and they stated that there was NO WAY YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO PAY WHAT THEY ARE ASKING WITH THE BILLS YOU HAVE. well, I spoke to XXXX days later and that company allegedly reported the exact opposite and that was well able to pay what XXXX XXXX/navient was asking. Please let me know what documentation is needed. I 've been dealing with this for so long I 'm not sure all that I have. But I truly want to be part of the lawsuit. I 've even through the ringer with XXXX XXXX for too long and have been through too much with them in XXXX and even up to now.

Consumer complaint received 05-07-2015 about Debt collection (I do not know) with Resurgent Capital Services L.P. (WI).
Issue: Disclosure verification of debt
Sub-issue: Right to dispute notice not received

Complaint: A garnishment was initiated for an unspecified debt. I never have received a notice to court to dispute or arrange payment. I have never received any phone call or message from the debt collector to discuss this with me in any way. The paper work I receive comes to me XXXX week after each wage garnishment is initiated, and contains no notary seal. They send a letter to my employer and tell him to begin taking money, and only after the XXXX deduction, I receive a letter telling me they are deducting money. I have looked at the paperwork my employer received and there is no notary seal or court seal. I have never received a court document of any kind saying that this was going to court in the XXXX place, but the letters I receive and the letters sent to my employer, say this has already went to court and I lost the case? My employer wage garnishment letter has no court seal or notary seal on it either. How do i know this is legit? The letters my employer received do n't even include his last name or title on the paperwork. These papers could have been printed off of any home computer by anyone, as there is no official raised stamp or raised seal of any kind on anything. The only debt I can think of is an unpaid medical loan almost XXXX years ago. This company started sending these letters to my employer to garnish my wages for " a debt '' never saying what debt about XXXX years ago. The attached copies of the form letters are the most recent I received ... and that was XXXX week after the deduction was made from my paychecks.

Consumer complaint received 08/15/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with CITIBANK, N.A. (CA).
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint: I have been with Citi for a long time and overall it 's been a great bank. Very good in most occasions. But I 've had some issues with fraud over the last year, particularly with people getting access to my credit report to open accounts without my authorization. I 've had some of the fraudulent inquiries removed from my reports but not all.
There are XXXX inquiries - on X/X/16 and X/X/16 - which I do not recognize and for which no corresponding account was opened by me. It 's not as huge a deal as opening a fraud account or letting someone use my accounts ( XXXX, XXXX XXXX ), but it hurts my credit score to have lots of inquiries that do n't belong to me and were not authorized.
I 'd like to have them removed.

Consumer complaint received 06-03-2015 about Credit card () with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (KY).
Issue: Closing/Cancelling account

Complaint: I had accounts with XXXX ( when it was XXXX XXXX XXXX ), and XXXX XXXX Store Card which is current but I expect it will be closed the moment I pay it off. These were all managed under XXXX Credit until Synchrony Bank took over. All of the accounts managed under Synchrony Bank I have gone through the same treatment. You get approved, they either raise or lower your limit and then close the account without any prior notice. They are checking the customers credit reports every month without the customers knowledge which makes their credit score go down, Synchrony lowers the customers credit limit which makes the customers credit score go down, then they close the customers account which makes the credit score go down also. I really wish I would have done an online search for complaints regarding this bank because there are many that have experienced the same thing. I had XXXX returned payment on the XXXX card and they closed my account without notifying me. I missed a payment, but did pay the late fee, got caught up on my XXXX account and they closed it without notifying me. I never missed a payment with XXXX, they lowered my limit then closed the account without any notification. They have already lowered the limit on my XXXX Store Card and I am close to paying that off so I left to believe that they will also close my account once it is paid off as well. I do not understand how the way they operate is even legal, they close your account yet still charge you high interest rates each month along with fees as if the account is still active. I continue to make the payments on the Synchrony accounts that are not paid off each month, but it is a great burden.

Consumer complaint received 06/15/2016 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (OH).
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint: First off, I must say that I have great credit with a credit score around XXXX. I had a Macy 's credit card through American Express. I was set up to pay my bill automatically through my XXXX XXXX ebill system. Previously, whenever I made a purchase at Macy 's, I would get a subsequent ebill the following month automatically in my XXXX XXXX online account. I made XXXX purchases on my card earlier this year. For whatever reason, I did n't get notice of my outstanding balance through my bank ebill system ... therefore I forgot that I had anything due to pay. The charges were minimal - around {$200.00}. I recently went back to Macy 's to make a purchase but was declined. I called the number on the back of my card and I was told that i owed around {$500.00} for purchases, late fees and interest. I asked why was I not notified of these charges and I was told that I ( or someone claiming to be me ) had put a " cease and desist '' on my card which supposedly cuts off all communication to me about that particular credit card. So, my initial balance of around {$200.00} grew to around {$500.00} without notice. I do not feel that I am responsible for those charges since I was set up for using the ebill system and since I never received notice ( by phone/mail or email ) of any late or outstanding balance. I have never been late paying a bill. I want to know how someone was able to place this " cease and desist '' order on my account without me knowing about it. This seems like some sort of fraudulent activity. I would have never known about the missed payment had I not gone back to Macy 's to buy something else. This is a terrible business practice. I also think that my credit report needs amended and my late or missed payments should be removed. I attempted to reconcile this matter witch Macy 's and or American Express and I 'm not sure if that was accomplished. I spent multiple hours on the phone and nobody quite understood what I was talking about. I understand that I am responsible for my charges and I have no problem paying for those. I am concerned that since the system that I had in place to pay my bills did not work properly, any notification to me was cut off by the credit card company and I would be left with a balance that would keep growing to this day. That does n't make sense to me and needs to be fixed.

Consumer complaint received 04-05-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with U.S. BANCORP (NV).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: We fell behind on our mortgage when I was out of work and then when I went back to work at a reduced salary were unable to make our mortgage payments. After receiving a notice of default we applied for mediation through a state program and were denied loan modification. We put our house up for sale as we had over XXXX equity in the house and received an offer that we accepted for XXXX under the market value just before the bank set a foreclosure sale date. The contract we signed with the buyer has a closing date of XXXX XXXX, 2016 but our foreclosure sale date was set for XXXX XXXX, 2016. We have submitted multiple requests to extend the sale date so we could close escrow to settle our mortgage and get some equity out to restart with. The Bank has denied our requests and even told us that the Investor, XXXX XXXX denied the latest request. We are simply asking for a 12 day extension to close escrow and settle our account but the bank will not favor our request. The strange thing is that we were told if this was a short sale situation the bank has a policy in place to extend. My only conclusion based on that policy is that the bank and investor see an opportunity to sell our house at auction for more than we owe and come out ahead at our expense. I feel if this is the case it is not a consumer friendly practice and simply benefits the bank and investor. If they were willing to grant the extension and let us settle our loan we could also restart our lives without being in total ruin. I own the financial mistakes I have made and understand I put myself in this situation. I just do n't understand how the bank can have no compassion to simply extend us a few days to cure this issue.

Consumer complaint received 06/20/2016 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with Ditech Financial LLC (NC).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I was with a Mortgage company for some years. My mortgage was brought or giving to my previous MTG company. I was behind often and I would ask for waivers, or if they could refinance my MTG but they always told me that they couldnt because my MTG was like a car loan so they could not do it. They always threaten to come get my double wide and I always said, how are yall going to do that because my land was finance with my house. I would tell them that I never had any trouble getting my payment waiver with the company that had my MTG before they had it. So finally they had me to write them and tell them my situation and why I could not make my payments because they where suppose to refinance it but, they said they couldnt. So I talked to my bank about refinancing for me. When I had to call the previous MTG company about the title it was to my surprise, they told me that they didnt have it. 
I called everyday to speak to someone different and there answer was the same. Doing that same time I went to the court house to check on the title and when i did that i saw the original MTG company as the owner on the deed. I even checked with DMV because they said it was like a car loan. I called around to attorneys and asked questions but none of them gave me any value information. I also looked online for information but nothing was clear to me as far as this being right. I also wrote the attorney general. They didnt receive any thing from them either but after the MTG was refin they sent them a letter and told them they didnt have the MTG any more. There name was never on the MTG, they didnt even own it and they knew it but they kept collecting my money every month. When I went to the closing I was told by the attorney there that they had to do a lose title because the MTG company didnt have one. I didnt know about a 3 day cancellation because the attorney didnt give me any paper work until they recorded it at the tax office. When looked it up the next week the new MTG company was on the deed. I just think this was wrong and I dont think they should been able to sell something they didnt have ownership to.
