Consumer complaint received 10/30/2015 about Debt collection (Credit card) with Michael Haynes & Associates, LLC (DC).
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint: I was asked to choose XXXX item that best describes my issue however multiple issues could have been selected. The latest one that has me seething is they called my mother in law pretending to be conducting a background check on my company. Asked her if my husband was in fact my husband, asked her how many employees I had and asked for my phone number. Then he called my husband to tell him I had a debit. They have not produced a document proving this debit is mine. I have repeatedly told them I know nothing about this - and to please send me actual documentation and I 'd be happy to pay whatever I actually owe. They call me EVERYDAY. I called them yesterday to make the phone calls stop and this bully named XXXX XXXX said all kinds of crazy nonsense - that if I was a XXXX he 'd be willing to settle this debit right now. Asked me what I did for a living - told me I was rude and uncooperative when I would n't engage in personal conversation. He 's a bully. And a liar.

Consumer complaint received 11-02-2015 about Payday loan () with The CBE Group, Inc. (IL).
Issue: Charged fees or interest I didn't expect

Complaint: CBE Group has never sent me a letter in the mail for pass due loans. At XXXX point I took out a payday loan back in XX/XX/XXXX and was over charged on interest fees and closed my bank account as they got more then they should by the payday loan company. I reopened my account with a new account number with the same bank. So years later the CBE Group who is a XXXX party maybe trying to collect on the loan which I was over charged on interest and paid back which the loan company wanted more and more. 

Anyway Number that called was XXXX. Called me after XXXX on my way home from work one night last week on XX/XX/XXXX. I picked up the call and the lady seem rude asking what my name was and my social security number with of course what my home address was. I did n't give them that info. I said to the lady if you call my cell phone and think you have the right person send me a letter in the mail. I basically told her to shove it and send me a letter in the mail if you have anything on me for whatever they wanted. So just today XX/XX/XXXX week later they called my dad 's cell phone stating that his son has a bad check. I get a call from my dad and I 'm like I have no idea what they are talking about. I do n't write checks. All my bills are paid online anyhow.. So next time CBE calls I 'm going to record the conversation and let my police buddy take it from there see if I can use any of there harassment against them in the future!!! I want them to stop calling me and they buy these outstanding loans on the pennies and I 'm sure they would love to clear out my bank account. That 's not going to happen because I 'll go to CBE office in Iowa and do matters in my own hands if I have too one day!!! So please make them stop cfpb and do your thing. Thanks

Consumer complaint received 10/17/2016 about Mortgage (FHA mortgage) with Prospect Mortgage, LLC (IN).
Issue: Settlement process and costs

Complaint: I obtained a loan thru XXXX XXXX of Prospect Mortgage XX/XX/XXXX. I was referred to XXXX XXXX from a loan officer at Prospect Mortgage in XXXX that I was preapproved with. The loan officer in XXXX was helping me to obtain Down payment assistance and other assistance with the government. I was referred to XXXX XXXX because I switched from XXXX to XXXX and she was supposed to be a loan officer that could help me to obtain all the assistance that the government had to help with the loan. When speaking to XXXX XXXX on the initial call she told me that she was able to offer help thru XXXX Housing and also forwarded me information to help with this. Throughout the loan process she told me multiple times that everything was in place with Indiana housing and the MCC. I was informed 2 weeks prior to closing and assured that everything was in place to get the MCC credit and my loan wa being delayed because of the process for the MCC. I called XXXX Housing to verify that what XXXX told me was true. When speaking to XXXX Housing they informed me that nothing was submittted. I informed XXXX via email. I was informed 1 week prior to closing that the MCC with XXXX Housing that I was told that was setup was not able to be obtained thru Prospect Mortgage because of the company not being approved for this. Because of this XXXX XXXX gave me XXXX options only a couple of days before closing. The first option was to pull out of the loan and not move forward with the house. The second option was to move forward with the loan without the MCC ( Mortgage Credit Certificate ). I chose the second option because Because there were multiple people involved but because I was n't informed until the end that they were n't approved to do t I lost out on a {$2000.00} credit for 30 years which totals {$60000.00}. If I had been informed by XXXX in a timely fashion that Prospect was n't approved for it, I would have went with a company that was.

Consumer complaint received 01/15/2016 about Consumer Loan (Installment loan) with SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (NC).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: I purchased a vehicle from XXXX of XXXX, North Carolina on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The vehicle became totaled in an accident on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. It was financed through SunTrust Bank. There was GAP coverage through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a prior complaint to the CFPB from me ( Case # XXXX ) could not be resolved as XXXX was not an entity registered with your agency and the matter has been referred by you for further investigation. The initial comprehensive coverage on the car was paid promptly by my insurance company, XXXX XXXX XXXX. Despite a clear representation in the contract. " This addendum amends the Retail Installment Sales Contract /Lease Agreement, whereby the Dealer ( and, following any assignment, the assignee financial institution [ you-SunTrust Bank ] agrees to waive YOUR [ my ] liability for the difference between the " Amount Owed '' under your Retail Installment Sales Contract /Lease Agreement and the " Actual Cash Value '' of the Vehicle as of the date of the " Total Loss '' of the Vehicle resulting from a peril covered by the automobile insurance company, subject to all the terms and conditions contained in this Addendum. You, the Dealer, and the assignee Financial Institution [ you-SunTrust Bank ], agree that, in any event Your claim for a waiver under this addendum is honored, no fee or interest shall accrue on the amount waived following the date of loss. 

After a great deal of time and what I believe to be a deliberately contrived delay, the GAP amount was finally paid. Meanwhile SunTrust attempted to extract from me the full amount of the monthly payments under the installment agreement and despite their now having been paid by both the indemnity insurance company and the GAP coverage, they 're still attempting to extract the installment payments from me. Even though they may be owed the amount of {$540.00} ( See pdf XXXX ) They are attempting to extract {$840.00} ( See pdf XXXX ). They are continually calling on my cell phone, most noticeably on XXXX XXXX, XXXX when I was in an ambulance being transported from XXXX hospital to another having been diagnosed with a XXXX XXXX. I asked them to leave me alone and communicate solely in writing. Despite, that request, they continue to harass me by phone.

Consumer complaint received 04/25/2017 about Debt collection (Private student loan debt) with Account Control Technology, Inc. (TX).
Issue: Written notification about debt
Sub-issue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Complaint: I have been contacting Account Control Technologies and have been on and off the phone with them for two hours trying to get my itemized statement over the phone. For one thing, they never sent a written statement that the debt sent to their agency, which is my right. The  XXXX   XXXX  office says they do not have access to it and can only mail it within  7-10 bu siness days. I have asked for how the collection fees are broken down and  XXXX   XXXX  has refused to give it to me. I have been directed to corporate offices in Ohio and California and three times have been transferred back to their office. They refuse to give me information on my account. I have asked for a written document detailing that if I have my debt paid in full before  XXXX / XXXX /  XXXX  , that it will not be reported to my credit. They have outright refused to put anything in writing outside of the itemized statement. They told me that over the phone and do have recordings of that conversation, but I wanted it in writing because I know how shady and deceptive those places are. I have been put on hold for extended periods of time until I finally hung up and called back. My call has been outright ignored  three  times when I began requesting that it be elevated outside of their office.  XXXX   XXXX  has said that they are the only office that will deal with my account and speak to me about it, but they do not have  access to my itemized account information. In the period of two  days, I have been told that they can add fees to my account while it is in their office ( by  XXXX   ) , which he was corrected and told that my college still owns the account and they have no authority to add anything, but the " fees '' and they are the ones who set the date to report to my credit ( by  XXXX  ), but then when my call was elevated to  XXXX  and then  XXXX , they would not tell me what those fees were. They said they can add up to 18.25 %, but did not have the percentage and said that was n't the only fee that would be on there. I just need my financial information and I am trying to protect myself. I have called the university and ACT is contracted through them, so they handle all accrued fees from when it is handled by them. I just need to be informed that I am paying the correct amount!!!! I need this information quickly before  XXXX   XXXX  or it will completely screw up my credit.

Consumer complaint received 01-06-2017 about Mortgage (Home equity loan or line of credit) with DISCOVER BANK (NY).
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure

Complaint: I am still having problems filing a loss mitigation package with my secondary mortgage holder. The amount that is owed to Discover Bank is less than 8 % of the value of my home and less than 23 % of the available equity of my home. I have attempted to settle with them due to loss of income since XXXX of 2015. This is the second time I am filing a complaint against them. Each time I send the information they request they come back with missing information needed. When I request that they inform me of all missing information needed I supply the missing information then I receive another communication from them informing me I am missing more information. This has been an ongoing issue with them. Now they want to see Bank information from my XXXX children who I happen to be a secondary signer on their account. They are not associated with my mortgage in any way, shape, or form. They have not given their signed permission to release this information and I have informed Discover of this fact. They are now threatening to close my request for a loss mitigation package. Let it be known that Discover has consistently been unreasonable with their request for information, and they are only the secondary mortgage holder on this property. Our Primary mortgage holder settled with us last year with not issues.

Consumer complaint received 06/15/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE (OK).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: I called in my monthly payment and went through the menu to start up monthly withdrawls from my account. I got through it and listed the next payment was to come out on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX days later they took another payment (unauthorized) from my account and bounced my checking account by $XXXX. I've called and talked to them about it, sent back statements  show that XXXX payments were taken out. Now they're telling me that I called in an emergency payment, which I didn't do, and are now trying to lie and say that I made a payment online, which I have never done, never even set up an online account. This company wrongly took money from us, screwed our account so badly that we had to cancel a mini vacation we had planned to take with our children bc of all the missing money and they keep floundering in their attempts to tell me that I made XXXX payments in one month of my own free will, which is so stupid it's almost laughable. On top of that, they tell me that the automated payments that I set up were not in place so while I was thinking that the payments were coming out, I'd be getting late charges added to my account, which is how this company operates anyway. This isn't the XXXX time that they've messed with our lives. Last year I got a foreclosure  notice saying that I missed XXXX payments which was untrue, but when I called the XXXX number to find out what exactly was going on, they told me that every payment was accounted for and that they had no idea why I was receiving foreclosure notices. But they charged me late payments and told me that they had only recently "found" my payments within their company. That makes everything their fault but I had no recourse to try to fight this. I'm told that I own $XXXX in late fees for XXXX late payments, which were not late. They've shot our credit w their bogus XXXX late payments and so now we can't refinance w another company and get out from under these thieves. They've been known to not process a payment, which means that they claim late fees for months before you even know it. This happened to us a few years ago. We've lost XXXX to this company when an honest agreement was reached by XXXX us, but honest money isn't good enough for them. They want to suck late fees and anything else they can get out of you. They need shut down.
