Denied a promotional offer for new money in a savings acctg. Major bank with minor customer service. Latest response was that I was ineligible due to not receiving offer in mail while I was offered this promotion in person from their bank representative. Have spent several visits to branch office, hours on the phone, and countless time with chats and emails with extremely long turn around time for any answers to this problem. Was told in branch, that this unfortunately business as usual and I am one of many with similar problem with same representative.

Complaint narrative:
I signed up with Nationwide Biweekly Administration in XXXX of 2014 for them to be a service company to pay our mortgage every month. XXXX a month half of our mortgage payment is deducted from our bank account and sent to them to forward to our mortgage lender. On XXXX XXXX I received an email that they were having financial issues and suspending accounts but mine was okay. On Saturday, XXXX XXXX I received a letter that my account had been suspended. Today I called XXXX which was on the letter and received a recording that XXXX mortgage payments would be made but going forward we were responsible for our payments. Also, any remaining funds in trust would be returned to us. I am uncomfortable with listening to a recording and want an actual person to verify my account information. I also called another XXXX number that was on their website ( XXXX ) and XXXX answered who purchased some of NBA 's customers. He tried to get me to become one of his customers. 
I want my account deactivated and my setup fee reimbursed. As well as assurance that the money I sent to them in XXXX will be used to pay my XXXX mortgage payment. And any remaining funds returned to me.

Company: ETHOS LENDING LLC
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
Non-performance of a lender ( missed deadlines, failed commitments, failure to provide closing documents, failure to respond to inquiries, failure to fund timely ) : We recently purchased a home, and our mortgage broker sent us through Ethos lending. What an ordeal! After a series of delays ( due to staffing, backlogs, etc ) they finally gave us a date for which we could sign closing documents. When we went to the title company on XXXX XXXX ( as they indicated we should ), no documents arrived. At this point we were out of contract with our sellers, and every day 's delay cost us $ XXXX in penalties - all because Ethos could n't deliver as promised. Our broker was finally able to contact them, only by masking his cell phone to appear as if it was coming from within their building. Where before he had called, and called, and left voicemails and emails with no response, when they thought it was an internal call they picked right up. He was able to get a commitment to have documents ready for us the next day. We signed on Wednesday, hit XXXX snag with seller documents, and all indications were this was a " rush '' and we would fund on Friday, XXXX XXXX. Friday came, and went - no funding. Sellers were irate ( as were we ), as our apartment would not let us stay any longer because the unit had already been rented, based on Ethos ' timetable for finishing this deal. Ethos guaranteed funding Monday, XXXX XXXX by XXXX XXXX. At XXXX, still no funding. There was a " system outage '' that prevented sending funds. Finally funds arrived to XXXX title company, but too late for them to send it to the sellers. At this point, I had stalled my apartment to let us stay through Monday, and the drop-dead time arrived. I had to pay my movers to move everything to a storage unit, and find a place for my family and pregnant wife to go that night ( thanks Ethos ). At this point, Ethos has cost me XXXX days of lost work ( since I had to take time off work each time to sign, and then arrange movers, cancel movers, rearrange everything each time they failed to perform ), as well as over {$500.00} in penalties to the sellers, doubled my moving costs, and stress on a pregnant mother. I have worked in XXXX for XXXX years and never have I seen such an unresponsive, uncommunicative, ineffecient and non-performing lender. We had serious doubts as to their solvency, and whether or not they were even legitimate. Through all of this, we bore all the burden of the inconvenciences - all because of Ethos ' inability to deliver on contracted lending services. I ca n't tell you how many times my XXXX wife was in tears because of this lender - XXXX is a MAJOR concern during XXXX and this lender has absolutely no concern for their customer - zero.

Company: BROKER SOLUTIONS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
We refinanced through the HARP program into a 30-year fixed rate mortgage. After a history of paying our mortgage in a timely manner, the company decided to accept payment itself rather than have another company collect payments. When claims of late payment came starting in XXXX, I called and supplied proof that all payments due were made in a timely manner, and received. Nevertheless, they continued to harass us with late payment notices and fees. We allowed them to do automatic deduction from our account to make future payments trouble free while we clarify the history. Though we made the XXXX 2015 payment in XXXX, they took another payment on XXXX XXXX for the XXXX payment. And even though we supplied information again to prove we had paid, they refuse to refund the {$2000.00}. 
Also, I had paid off the year 's insurance and asked them to reduce the monthly amount due because our escrow account need not provide for insurance. Instead, they increased the monthly payment due. I am not sure if we were taken advantage of in this respect.

Dear CFPB : Resurgent Capital Services keeps trying to collect on an old, already-repaid credit card debt. I repaid this credit card debt in XXXX 2006! 

Unfortunately, the original collection agency never reported my debt as repaid to the XXXX main credit reporting bureaus. 

Today, Resurgent Capital Services called XXXX of my relatives and left a " threatening, creepy '' message for me on his answering machine. This is totally illegal! Resurgent should not be harassing my relatives or friends! They should not be leaving threatening messages! 

I already sent Resurgent XXXX letter, via certified mail, stating that I had repaid the debt in 2006. 

In addition, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX both stated they were no longer going to try to collect on the debt, as it had already been repaid. That is why I was very surprised to hear I had received a threatening message today from Resurgent Capital Services.

Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
During closing it was discovered that the lender has miscalculated the transfer tax of the property that I was purchasing. A phone call was made to the title company ( at the closing table ) to get the problem resolved. The title company contacted the lender, got the new transfer tax approved and sent us the new Final Closing Disclosure which was signed and notarized at the closing table. As a result of this change the final disclosure that we were sent and I signed showed that I was supposed to receive approximately {$2100.00} back from the title company as a refund of what I had wired to them for closing. I contacted the title company later that afternoon to give them information to rewire me the funds and they indicated that they had already sent me a check in the mail for {$55.00} which was what they owed me. I was told I had to then contact the lender to find out why my refund had been so drastically reduced. After several days on the phone with several different people at the lender, most of which would never answer or call me back, I discovered that the document we signed at closing and had to be approved by the lender was not what they say they sent to the title company as the Final Closing Disclosure. The only time I got to see the Final Closing Disclosure the lender says they approved was after it was emailed to me after being on the phone with the closer from the lender for several hours and him not understand my complaint. No one else, the notary, either realtor, myself, had seen the closing disclosure the lender says they sent until the end of the day of closing when I got it emailed to me as described earlier. Neither the lender or the title company currently is helping me out or finding someone at either business who can help me out. However I believe the money that is owed to me is the difference between my wire transfer to the title company for closing and the " Cash to close '' that was listed on the Final Closing Disclosure that WE SIGNED AT CLOSING AND WAS NOTARIZED AS SUCH. The lender says the lender credit due to me had been reduced because of the reduction in the tranfer tax which is why the cash to close went up on the version they say they approved. The pictures attached show the XXXX and XXXX pages of the final closing disclosure of the XXXX the lender approved ( higher cash to close and lower lender credit ) vs. the one that we signed at closing ( lower cash to close and higher lender credit )

Company: CIT BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I purchased my house using a conventional loan in XXXX XXXX and decided to refinance it with XXXX XXXX bank. The broker at the time offered me an adjustable loan with the options of paying the minimal, interest only, or the full amount ; however, during our discussion he was less than transparent when I accepted the adjustable loan and did not inform me of the consequences of just paying the minimal, interest-only or the full amount when making my mortgage payment : to my dismay, {$1000.00} was attached to my principal balance each month when I paid anything accept the full amount with an interest rate of 8.75 percent. 
To my shock and disbelief, I was devastated to find this out! My mortgage loan went from {$240.00} and accumulated to {$260.00}. That was an increase of {$20000.00} dollars attached to my principal balance, better known as negative amortization. In XXXX at the beginning of the recession XXXX XXXX sold my loan to IndyMac. I applied for a loan modification and worked with IndyMac for more than a year to modify my loan to a more affordable rate. However, IndyMac consistently delayed the process over and over again stating that I did not file the necessary documents in spite of me sending them the same documents they requested over and over again. Eventually, I just gave up trying. 
Subsequently, I tried to short-sale my home and IndyMac also denied a short-sale. While losing my job IndyMac still refuse to work with me in granting a solution to enable me to keep my home. I also tried XXXX XXXX, and all other advocates to help me keep my home to no avail. 
Because my home is not under XXXX or XXXX XXXX, no financial institution was willing to work with me to refinance my mortgage. Therefore, the only option that is left will eventually lead to foreclosure of my home that I lived in for over 11 years. As a veteran, who served his country for XXXX years, I am simply appalled how these financial institutions " thank me for my service '' by using unethical and predatory lending practices to cheat and fill their pockets of veterans ( and citizens ) with hope that the borrower will foreclose on his/her property to collect the insurance benefits and resell the home at market value to increase their profits XXXX folds.
