Consumer complaint received 02/27/2017 about Credit card () with CITIBANK, N.A. (WI).
Issue: Late fee

Complaint: My credit card issuer, XXXX, assessed my account with late payment fees of {$25.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, {$35.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and {$35.00} on XX/XX/XXXX which were all a direct result of XXXX 's payment system being unavailable to access requests from XXXX and their Customer Care Agents providing incorrect payment processing information. In speaking with their Internet technical support services staff 3 days prior to the initial fee assessment they informed me that they were not able to provide an alternative and advised me to contact the XXXX 's Customer Service telephone line during regular business hours. They assured me that my access attempts and phone call were logged and that the matter would be rectified without penalty. In following up with a phone call to an Account Manger on XX/XX/XXXX I attempted to dispute the prior assessed late fee and also requested to have my current payment due processed by phone and also have future payments automatically drawn from my checking account - none of which was done properly. 

In following up with the account management team on XX/XX/XXXX I learned that the likely reason for the miscommunication was that the support services staff, which was recently outsourced, was not familiar with the newly implemented procedures. 

I 've been a customer for approximately 15 years and only within the last 12 months have I encountered repeated billing and payment issues but early on I was able to reach an " on-shore '' representative which took the time to research my issues, provide guidance and prompt service. Unfortunately, and as of late, there is no follow up from any of the account managers nor responses to letters or phone calls.

Consumer complaint received 05-07-2017 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with CITIBANK, N.A. (NJ).
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Complaint: In    2016 I  received several invitations via   XXXX   XXXX    and email to apply for a  Citibank AAdvantage  Platinum credit card. The invitations were address ed specifically to me and listed my current AA miles and what my mileage would be if I fulfilled the spending requirement. I was urged to apply before  XXXX  o f 2016. I called  the number on the invitation, informed the agent that I had previously held a  Citibank AAdvantage  card, and asked if I would qualify for the promotion - and I WAS TOLD YES. I applied in  XXXX , fulfilled the spending requirement and paid my bills in full and on time. When the miles did not appear in my account I began making inquiries via fax and phone.   Many phone calls and many hours later I have been informed that ( unfortunately, sorry for any inconvenience ) because I had closed an account within the past 2 years I would not get the bonus miles AS PROMISED. I am not debating the " fine print ''. I was not sure when I had last possessed a  CITIbank  AAdvantage card. Thats why I called and asked. I relied on their response when I decided to apply for this card.     I feel I was both targeted and lied to.       1. I was baited into applying for this card and making charges to fulfill a fraudulent offer.
2  . Instead of awarding bonus miles, the timing of this offer actually PREVENTS me from earning bonus miles .... If I had waited 6 months more to apply I would have been past the 2 year window allowing me to re-apply for card and earn bonus miles in  XXXX .

Consumer complaint received 03/31/2017 about Credit card () with BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (NY).
Issue: Forbearance / Workout plans

Complaint: I have XXXX credit cards with Bank of America. I experienced financial hardship over the course of 2 years. I called multiple times to request help and they would not assist me and said nothing could be done. I finally spoke with someone ( in XX/XX/XXXX ) who said XXXX ( XXXX ) could help and provide the phone number to get things started. I set up an account with XXXX and they sent the proposal to BOA. BOA denied the proposal but did not tell me why for weeks. I finally found out it was because I had XXXX credit cards small balances and BOA demanded I included those in the proposal. I paid then off. XXXX was told XXXX tried to contact them and BOA did not get in contact with them. XXXX again tried to get in contact with BOA who stated I had additional things on my credit report and that is why they were denying me. XXXX and I pulled my credit report and there was nothing additional on there. Since XX/XX/XXXX, BOA is charging me late fees and over the limit fees and not working with XXXX after directing me to them. BOA continues to come up with excuses as to why they will not accept the proposals but either not sharing this information in a timely manner with XXXX or making up things that are not true such as the additional things on my credit report. I wrote their customer relations department early XX/XX/2017 and have not heard back from them. 
When I call in and speak to their employees no one has answers for me and it takes days for supervisors to call me back and let me know what is going on. They tell me wrong information such as they do not take outstanding medical bills into account and then say that the XXXX medical bill I have in collections does count in their decision. I feel like they are purposely not working with me in an effort to collect more money from me.

Consumer complaint received 09-07-2016 about Mortgage (Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)) with Ditech Financial LLC (KS).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I have a loan that has been purchased by Ditech. I recently received an escrow analysis that projected that my escrow for taxes and insurance will have a shortage. The have added XXXX of the false shortage to my monthly mayment. For 19 years there has never been a shortage and I have received a refund on my escrow account a couple of times due to their incorrect analysis. As long as I make timely payment, there will never be a shortage in the escrow during the next 12 months. 
Ditech has projected a shortage in the amount of " cushion '' they want in my escrow account. I understand that Ditech may keep require a cushion equal to XXXX of the total amount of items paid on a yearly basis. However, Ditech has purposely created a false date for payment of my taxes for purposes of creating a " cushion '' shortage. Specifically, my taxes are due in XXXX. Ditech has confirmed that my taxes are due in XXXX and have been paid in XXXX for the life of the loan. However, Ditech has imposed a false date of a " Projected '' tax payment in XXXX. This false projection date has been created to develop a " cushion '' shortage of less than the XXXX cushion allowed by RESPA. This allows Ditech to collect additional money for my escrow account that will never be needed, and exceeds the XXXX cushion allowed by law. I am confident this false " Projection of payments '' analysis is not isolated and is imposed upon all consumers of who have loans with Ditech who pay escrows to cover taxes and insurance, through a Ditech escrow. This allows Ditech to acquire millions in dollars in interest on escrow accounts that are not required or permitted by RESPA. RESPA has imposed limits on escrow funding to prevent this abuse. Please investigate this complaint on behalf of my account and others similarly being financially abused by Ditech.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: X/XX/2017 X/XX/2017 I 've contacted all 3 credit agencies in regards to validating the U. S. Bankruptcy Court items listed on my credit reports. Per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file. The Bankruptcy Court mailed me a letter which emphatically stated that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or other third party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by the U. S. Court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW. My inquiry to the U. S. Bankruptcy Courts confirmed XXXX, Equifax and XXXX Credit Bureaus has never validated or verified these public record entries on my credit report, neither will they ever be by them. They further stated while they are NOT liable or responsible for any MISUSE or INCORRECT public records, nor the distribution of said information, public records may, and oftentimes are, reported by third party sources unawares to the consumer, and in most cases, incorrectly.
