Complaint narrative:
I started having problems paying my mortgage back in XXXX. The end of XXXX I did a agreement with my mortgage company ( Nationsstar ) to pay XXXX 's mortgage over XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. In XXXX I started a refinance with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Nationstar gave XXXX a quote. We closed on XXXX/XXXX/2016 and the check was sent to Nationstar on XXXX/XXXX/2016. Nationstar is claiming the payoff was short because they did n't receive the payoff by XXXX/XXXX/2016. Now they are price gauging my mortgage payoff. My balance was XXXX, now they are saying the payoff is XXXX.

Company: BB&T CORPORATION
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I needed to change the bank BB & T Bank used to Automaticly Draft Payment from. On XXXX/XXXX/2015, I went on the BB & T websit and changed the bank from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. My {$590.00} payment was set up to be withdrawn, but since my XXXX 2015 payment was due the next day, and BB & T Bank website noted it would take at least XXXX payment cycle before my payment would be automaticly drafted, I elected to pay the {$590.00} payment immediately. The next day, XXXX/XXXX/2015, BB & T automaticly drafted another payment of {$590.00}. So, I called BB & T Bank and asked for EXTRA payment to be refunded. I was told to go to my local BB & T Bank Branch and fill out and sign some forms and provide a copy of my bank printout showing the BB & T Bank withdrawals from XXXX XXXX XXXX. So I complied with both requests. One week later, I was called again by BB & T Bank saying they could not fullfil my request because I had not sent the copy of my bank transactions from XXXX, I explained, I had, they said they would contact the branch. Later they called me back saying it would take them another XXXX business days to wire the funds back to XXXX. It is now XXXX/XXXX/2015, I checked my BB & T Bank Mortgage account and the funds were finally taken back out on XXXX/XXXX/2015 ( 15 days after the error ) but still had not been sent to my XXXX XXXX XXXX checking account. I hope it is not legal for them to keep holding back my money, because I am having to pay 15.50 % interest on this money they are keeping from me.

Complaint narrative:
Went through the exhausting process of refinancing with Nationstar Mortgage and closed my loan on XX/XX/2016. XXXX should have been closed the week before but when the closing XXXX came to my home my husbands name on the documents were not correct. Yes, they had a persons name on the documents I have never heard of. The documents were corrected and loan closing was done on XX/XX/XXXX. I was told after XXXX days funds would be wired to my XXXX mortgage lender ( Nationstar ) and my XXXX mortgage lender XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This has not been done as of today. I call my loan XXXX XXXX XXXX with Nationstar and he told me the loan had funded on Monday XX/XX/2016. Again, no one has been paid off yet. I have called the closing company and the person that was handling my closing will not call me back or answer emails, her supervisor and every other single person I have tried to talk to there will not call me back. I have tried to get Nationstar to get to bottom of this and even they promise to call me back but do not. This has put me in a very bad situation as I was told not to pay my XXXX mortgage in XX/XX/XXXX and now its XX/XX/XXXX. I have kept my XXXX mortgage paid up. Today I finally received a call from the title company stating there was some sort of date issue on the paperwork????? No clue and they said they were working to resolve???? None of any of it makes sense to me and they could n't explain it either. I also asked why almost XXXX weeks later this is my first and only notification of anything???? Again, no answer. I feel there is some sort of fraud going on. Can you help me?

Company: General Information Services, Inc
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I was hired by XXXX and two days after being hired, and doing work for XXXX, was told I had to be sent home because I had apparently falsified something on my application. I was provided a copy of my consumer report from GIS, the company that runs the reports for potential employees, and discovered XXXX issues : Another person 's name, " XXXX XXXX '' was under my SSN, and also my criminal history was being held against me as being falsified for not supplying any information ( their online application did not ask me to submit my criminal history, just to consent to a background check, and on my consumer report this is listed as " not provided / non-applicable '' ). I was told I had 5 days to dispute these findings, but was notified by XXXX that I was already terminated based on these findings before any disputes were even reviewed. I faxed GIS a dispute form with a copy of proof of identity ( my Social security card ), and mentioned several times the application process never requested my criminal history ( all of which was disclosed at the interview anyway ). It has now been 5 days, and I have not heard back from them and I still do not have a clear answer from either GIS or XXXX as to what was " falsified '' on my application, so my attempt to prove or disprove anything within the report is speculative at best. I have faxed, called, and emailed both companies at several levels, and still received no explanation for what they believe was falsified, and have been told multiple times that I am already terminated because of information found in my Consumer Report provided by GIS, despite the review process not even being completed yet. This is against my rights under the FCRA.

Complaint narrative:
We have XXXX Business accounts with BB & T and for the most part all has gone well for about 13 years. Two days ago we were hit with what the Police called XXXX. It was a XXXX. My first call after the police was to BB & T. The fraud people were understanding as I was very shakey and upset. I authorized the closing of XXXX of the XXXX accounts but did NOT authorize the closing of the operating account as I had to get to XXXX ASAP to say good bye to my Father who is in XXXX. I already had planr, car and hotel reservations made and would need the debit card when I arrived in XXXX. The XXXX happened on Saturday night of a 3 day weekend and the banks were closed today being Monday. The fraud people were explained that I would have to go in person to the bank to get a new card and since the local branches did n't open until XXXX and I had to be at the airport by XXXX I was given the address and phone number of the branch closest to the XXXX airport. It was agreed that BB & T would keep the account open until I picked up the rental car in XXXX and gor to the Branch to pick up a temporary card. I thought all was well until this morning when I tried to get gas and discovered the account was locked. I have spent the entire day trying to get BB & T to unlock the account. This morning at XXXX I waas told by customer service that he would have to investigate before opening the account but that he would call me no later than XXXX. When he did n't call I tried to call again to discover that he had left for the day. around XXXX I reached someone named XXXX who said he was a supervisor in customer service and that it was his decision not to release the account and that he had notified the fraud department of his decision. He then disconnected the call. In a XXXX, I called the Fraud people back and explained that after multiple calls, always getting different people, being on hold until the call disconnected I was getting desperate. IN the meantime I found out that my Father was worse. I considered delaying the trip one day but without the card I ca n't change the reservations and now realized that if I did n't get there tomorrow afternoon I might not see him alive. The fraud people said their hands were tied. XXXX stayed over an hour after she was due to go home trying to get someone to release the account without succeeding. 
We are XXXX and this is a Business account. We do n't use credit and have no other cards. We have only the money in our pockets. I have no way to get to the branch in XXXX without a car. It is beyond belief that the bank has no one on call with the authority to handle this kind of emergency. I feel like first I was victimized by the XXXX but even worse now I am being victimized bt the bank I trusted. Whose side are they on?

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2016 I contacted XXXX to transfer my internet service to my new address effective XX/XX/2016. I was told that I could reduce my bill to {$39.00} a month from {$59.00} by switching to a plan that included a land line, which I do n't use, but agreed to save money. The phone was never connected and the {$39.00} a month was never honored. I contacted XXXX on XX/XX/2016, and spoke to a XXXX who assured me that although they would n't honor the plan I was sold, he would retroactively amend the bill to honor the internet only plan I 'd been on for 4 years for {$59.00} a month. He said that left me owing a balance of {$47.00}, which I promptly paid, and was told that brought my balance up to current. On XX/XX/2016 I received a collection notice demanding payment of {$150.00}. I called multiple times ( I have the hours of calls recorded ) and they never did amend my bill as they were supposed to. They disconnected my service and turned me over to collections, and I 'm receiving phone calls that are extremely rude. I do not owe XXXX a XXXX.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Nationstar Mortgage will not contact me to discuss my escrow account, nor can I reach the escrow division when calling via the main number. I wait to hear each prompt, press buttons, and still get a basic customer service representative that can not help me. I spent three hours on hold last week. This week, I tried again with no success and started emailing for help. On XXXX, a customer service representative said that he could give me a number that would connect to escrow, but it was the main Nationstar number, not the mortgage number I have. It took me longer to get through the prompts without any help. Nationstar emailed me back today and said they could not help me with the information I gave them ( basically my account number and information plus complaint was not enough to have someone finally call me from the escrow department ). They also said that their records indicated that on XXXX a representative already address my concerns, but that was the gentleman that gave me a different phone number because he could n't help me. Nationstar 's escrow analyses tend to hit very high, and I want to discuss the findings of the last analysis from XXXX XXXX. I also have concerns over their request for a XXXX form. At first, I thought the document was a scam. After many phone calls, I was told to send in the form. The letter connected to the XXXX request ( which asked for my full social security number ) threatened monetary punishment if not mailed back to them. I believe they were going to garnish my tax return. The SS # was in bold letters, and could be seen through the return envelope. I truly thought it was an attempt to steal ID. After many phone calls, and an email from Nationstar claiming the validity of the document, I wrapped the completed form in paper, and returned in my own envelope which was not transparent. If Nationstar had my full SS # on file, why would they have me sign a new XXXX Form?

Nationstar Mortgage has violated my rightsthroughout the whole trying to save my home. I now have an auction date on my house. They never warned me that auction was a possibility and only gave me 60 days from posting date to actual sale. I have complained before about nationstar not trying to help and making mockery of XXXX foreclosure avoidance program. Some complaints not even answered and some had missed truths in them. I need to stop auction so I can save my home.
