Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My dates of enrollment were incorrect- I was listed as being " in grace period '', when I was actually enrolled in school at least part-time. This caused my subsidized student loans to accrue interest when they were not supposed to, so I contacted the school I was attending in Fall XX/XX/XXXX- the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) & had them fax the info to XXXX at Navient. I had already paid off a few of the loans that the interest was wrong on, so Navient is having to go back & retroactively adjust the amount of interest on the loans in question. I have received notification from Navient back in XX/XX/XXXX that they had received the info from XXXX & that as a result, my dates of enrollment have been adjusted. I called On XX/XX/XXXX, & spoke to XXXX XXXX ( employee # XXXX ) & requested that the amount taken off of my loans as a result of the correction be sent to me in writing. She informed me that a customer service advocate would send the info to me, but that it would take 5-10 business days. I again requested that the amount that was deducted from my balance due to my dates of enrollment being adjusted be sent to me in writing during another phone conversation with XXXX ( employee # XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX. I received an email from a customer advocate named XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX & again, I requested the info. Today, I sent her another email- requesting the information for the 4th time ( this is the 2nd time I have made a written request- the other times were verbally over the phone. ) It has been a month since I have been trying to have this information sent to me in writing, but they have ignored my requests.

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I have applied for a loan modification Ocwen mortgage at least 5 times. The first couple of times I applied I was denied due to not obtaining a signature from a spouse that I had been separated from 16 years and he was not a co-borrower on the loan on which I was requesting the modification for. The most recent modification was denied do to Ocwen stating they did not get a signed agreement from me, and after I had made all three requested payments earlier than requested. During conversations with Ocwen, they never once requested those documents from me and I had spoken with my relationship manager at least 4 times during that period. Also, when I initially called regarding the status of the mod on XX/XX/XXXX, the rep never advised me that the payment was due on XX/XX/XXXX. Coincidentally, I received a statement in the mail advising the payment was due on XX/XX/XXXX. Also during the 4th time I applied, I contacted Ocwen to discuss the mod, and they had already denied the mod, per the rep I spoke with, due to me not making a payment within 1 day of the due date the 2nd payment was requested The tracking on the payment reveals that Ocwen received the payment on the XX/XX/XXXX by XXXX XXXX, but the payment was not processed until the XX/XX/XXXX of the same month in which is was received. Another issue I am noticing with Ocwen is that, they are not really advising me properly when action is taken on the mod. I spoke with them last week and they stated the mod was denied on XX/XX/XXXX. I have yet to receive those papers as well. They are taking negative action on the mod and not notifying properly. I assume that I may not be the only client that may be experiencing similar issues with Ocwen. Ocwen is also reporting my account closed and that no payment has been received since XX/XX/XXXX on my credit report and causing my score to be lower, when the account is open and up payments were being made thru the trustee before the account was removed from the bankruptcy. I 've also noticed that payments sent by mail are processed as late as 16 days. This could mean unreasonable capitalization of interest and late payments for some customers. On the other hand, when I pay {$16.00} and pay through an online company my payments are posted within 3 days.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On  XXXX   XXXX ,  2017  I contacted the company Carrington Mortgage Services to request a payoff notice and also verify we could sell the property. I was informed that I would receive the information via email shortly and that the actual legitimate information woukd come in the mail. The one that came in the mail would be the one used for the title company and otherwise. When I received that paperwork in the mail on the   XX/XX/XXXX   I then passed it on to my realtor and title company so they would know the payoff. I was also told that information was valid for 30 days after I received it in the mail, which would mean it was valid until  XXXX   XXXX ,  2017.  A few days before closing I called to make sure that the information I had was valid and that all the numbers still matched. They refused to speak with me or my wife. Stated that we had the information and that we were n't to bother them again. So the title company did up the interest amount a smidge just to be on the safe side. We sent the payoff amount on  XXXX   XXXX ,  2017 to  the company. When we did n't receive any returns, email, or phone calls we assumed we were done and it was over. We were wrong. Monday the  XXXX ,  2017  they returned the payoff stating that we owed  XXXX  more than what we sent. I spent 3 days trying to speak with the company and they refused to speak to us. Finally, I was able to speak with someone, the woman I spoke to said she would send a new payoff notice and it woukd state we were  XXXX  short. I never received it. So I called back. They informed me that if I continued to contact them they would have me arrested for harrassment, just for calling to find out about our payoff on our mortgage. I received the new payoff yesterday,  XXXX   XXXX ,  2017 , and they have changed the payoff to state that we owed almos t 1800  dollars. I called the company again. They have informed me that they will not speak with me or my wife. They will not tell me what the changes were for and why the added price. They have stated that they wo n't and do n't have to give me any information. My wife is the owner of the house per a probated will and we have shown them these papers proving it at least 4 times. My realtor has proof of it. They still wo n't speak to my wife at all. They have continued to force us to own this house for almost a month now. They wo n't let us pay them because supposedly we are n't paying the right amount, however we have asked for the right amount repeatedly. Please help us. They are continuing to extort more money from us. Everytime it is more but with no explanation.

Company: Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I received notice of a lawsuit from   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   on    XXXX   XXXX  , 2017  for an  XXXX  card balance {$920.00}. I contacted them and because I did not want to have this dragging out or have to go to court, I discussed with  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX , a possible settlement. I contacted the gentleman within a day, indicating a family member would assist me but could only give us {$400.00}, we agreed on a settlement of {$500.00}. I never received a letter indicating same. A settlement letter was sent to me for the amount of {$650.00}. Every time I contact the office I get the run around. I was told the letter would be sent, it was never received. When I called back I was told it could be emailed and would be received by the end of the day. It was never received. I contacted the office again on several occassions and every time there was an excuse. I have been told it has been sent and I have been told it was not sent - all by the very same individual as he is the only person I have spoken to at the law firm. I have been told there is a backlog and I was also told because in my answer to the court I disputed the debt, it had to be cleared by the original debtor, Portfolio Recovery and they could not send the settlement letter. I contacted  Portfolio Recovery  and was told they could not provide any information. It appears they are deliberately preventing me from resolving this matter by giving inaccurate information. Thank you for your assistance. I do not know whether or not the amount in question is correct, but I do not want to be hassled by these dishonest people any longer. This firm is known for and has previously been sued by federal agencies for dishonest collection practices and now I am another victim. They have never provided any proof of contract in addition.

When the loan was transferred  to Navient, I assumed similar options would still be available to me.

All t he options I had when I originally agreed to the loan we no longer available to me and I feel that is unfair to me.

My problem is with Stellar Recovery,  XXXX , MT In th  e last year, I disputed and had removed, an old collection account they had inserted in my credit report with  XXXX  of the  XXXX  credit reporting agencies.
In the last 30 days, the item that had preciously been delete  d suddenly was re-inserted again and showed up in my   XXXX   and   XXXX   credit reports.     I did not receive any notification of this action or a chance to dispute said item.   I immediately initiated a dispute with both reporting agencies.     It is my understanding that re-insertion of an already deleted item is counter to the existing consumer laws and that at least, they must removed it immediately, and at   best, I may be entitled to compensation for the breach.
I would like to register a formal complain against Stellar Recovery for their recent a  ctions

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I  applied for a zero percent apr purchase card with BofA online. My application came back declined because I had a block on my credit. I tried calling numerous times to speak to someone and I could not get anyone to look at my application so I simply dismissed it. A couple of days later I received a call from BofA from an analyst that said if we can call the credit bureau we can get this credit card approved. We called and they approved my credit card. A couple of days later I received the card WITHOUT the promotion of zero percent purchase interest. I have called and spent hours on the phone with them and they said I do n't  qualify for the card with that promotion. If I did n't qualify for the card that I applied for then why was n't this communicated with me at the time of the application or when I spoke to the analyst to verify the product I applied for? If I was approved for another c ard ( one that I never applied for ) then why was n't this told to me in order for me to make a decision on  how to proceed? Instead, I get a card with a high interest rate that I never applied for nor that I wanted. This seems like a misleading practice to offer something to someone and then deliver another product that the customer does not want. I spoke to  XXXX   XXXX  in resolutions who was not able  to help and refused to allow me to speak to someone to file a complaint. I was told a manager would call me back and no one has to this point. I have wasted hours of my time in this and there is still no resolution in sight.

Paid {$640.00} on for appraisal for PMI deletion. Appraisal done   XX/XX/XXXX .   Appraisal  XXXX   . A ppraisal completed by another institution value  XX/XX/XXXX = {$150000.00}. Many things ( like {$40000.00} garage added to the property ) and added another bedroom and bathroom.  Appealed appraisal. Appraiser reviewed and amended the appraisal but did n't change the value of the appraisal. Tried calling the customer service again ( so many times that I do n't even know how many ) L ast attempt today   XX/XX/XXXX   and with no luck - they did not handle my concern and would not allow for another appraisal company to come out to the  property. The customer service dept. tells you that they will call you back on numerous calls and they never do. I know that this appraisal is not accurate. I had another lending institution review it and they stated that the appraiser used comps that were not on the market and one that did not sell. There was a comp  XXXX  mil e from our house that sold   XX/XX/XXXX   for {$150000.00}. They refuse to do anything about the inaccuracy or unfairness of the appraisal completed on their behalf. Also,  the appraiser asked how much we owed on the property ( and I do n't think this is standard ).

I get a email to call chase bank on Monday XXXX XXXX,2017 and spoke to another Chase Dispute specialist and he asked more of the same questions from the first call to chase and they said that they would investigate further. I then asked about the provisional credit and the chase dispute agent said it was n't up to him to issue credit that it was up to the back office. So i asked how long will it take before back office investigate and decide to issue provisional credit and he said he did n't know. But when ever they get more information then they will email me. This falls under a chargeback dispute since the merchant didnt give me my product, significantly not as described. Please review information to chase bank.
