Product: Credit card — 
Issue: Late fee — 
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have a chase freedom credit card. I always pay on time and pay in-full. My last day of payment is XXXX of every month and I got late by 1 hour and Chase charged me {$25.00} fee + interest. I requested Chase by calling their customer care but they refused to help OR waive-off fee. So I end-up paying late fee but than I requested chase to set-up automatic payment on my account so that next time it does not happen. This incident happened last month in XXXX 2016. Now again on XXXX XXXX, I got lat by 1 hour and called the customer care at XXXX of XXXX XXXX ( ideally it is night of XX/XX/XXXX ) and requested them that I want to pay full bill but please remove this late fee. they refused to do that again. Now I have set-up automatic payment in my account this time. But I do not want to pay this late fee again and again for no reason. It feels like exploitation even after being a loyal costumer for last so many years. I feel it is cheating/exploitation from Chase side. I have not paid my credit card bill yet but I am very much willing to pay it in-full once CHASE remove all charges. When I spoke to CHASE customer care supervisor ( her name is XXXX and she is in OH office ) and before that spoke to a representative ( her name is : XXXX and she was very rude and that 's why I requested her to let me talk to her supervisor ). No matter what I say to them, their answer is same and something like " Sorry we really can not help in this regard ''.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern : Loan # XXXX and equity # XXXXOcwen illegally try to extort money from me using " legal '' ways! 
I just received from them a " Pre foreclosure '' notice package. 
Their XXXX located managers never clear explain their " math '', how they figured out astronomical " late fees '', they just pressure on me to pay. It is strange, that since XX/XX/XXXX till XX/XX/XXXX they just collected " late fee charges '' and never try to make a real foreclosure! It looks like a scam! 
I request to remove all unfair " late fee charges '' Ocwen collected for almost XXXX years, because : My previous mortgage company GMAC was sold to Ocwen at XX/XX/XXXX. Included are a copies of my payments to GMAC. They show, that I paid AHEAD for any coming month, so, GMAC never charged me with late fees, it is a hard proof, that I always paid AHEAD for coming month, at time, with XXXX days each month period without interruption! No any " late fee charges '' shown on GMAC statements. At the time my GMAC account was sold to Ocwen account, I still continue make mortgage payments of {$1000.00} the same way I did to GMAC in XXXX days each month pay period, it is showing on my bank statements. My very last payment to GMAC for XX/XX/XXXX was completed the same way, ahead, on XX/XX/XXXX. Attached is a copy of my bank statement at this particular date, showing payments. My first payment to Ocwen was completed by XX/XX/XXXX also ahead for XX/XX/XXXX ( in XXXX days of each month period ). So, there is no interruptions with payments. 
Each following month I did payments at time, ahead, except for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, because there was dispute with Ocwen. 
XX/XX/XXXX I did not pay for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I did not pay for XX/XX/XXXX, I missed those XXXX payments for XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX because of dispute with Ocwen. 
XX/XX/XXXX I did two payments for missing XXXX month and did third one mortgage payment for coming XX/XX/XXXX month with included " late fee charges '', so, instead of {$1000.00} I paid {$1100.00} to cover " late fees for missed XXXX month ''. The next payments in XX/XX/XXXX were done also ahead for coming XX/XX/XXXX months XX/XX/XXXX At XX/XX/XXXX I did mortgage payment for XX/XX/XXXX ... ....

Complaint narrative:
I opened an account with M & T Bank last month, seeing the promotion for a {$150.00} cash bonus which attracted me to the bank. Late last month, I made a direct deposit, qualifying me for the {$150.00} bonus, which was revoked on XX/XX/XXXX ( yesterday ). After numerous messages to the bank on their website, I have yet to receive a response. Now, later today they completely closed my account with no warning. I called them and was on the phone for an hour speaking to a supervisor whom was advised not to tell me information about MY account. An identity verification was done via fax as requested a couple days earlier. I 'm forced to step into a branch that is n't local to me, which is a huge inconvenience. For an institution that 's supposed to be trusted with holding my money then closing it with FUNDS LEFT IN THE ACCOUNT, I 'm baffled. I demand a reasonable explanation.

I have attached all the documents regarding my dispute claim against M & T Bank with respect to mortgage account number XXXX. 
Please be advised that I was never made aware, either by M & T representatives, whom I was in constant daily telephone contact, or the home appraiser, that I was responsible to pay the cost of {$38000.00} for the home appraisal. I only became aware of the charge the following month when I saw the charge added to my monthly mortgage payment. Since then I have been approved for a reverse mortgage and the balance of the mortgage loan has been paid off, and the service fee charge for the home appraisal was added to the paid off amount I want to be reimbursed for the unauthorized charge. Please let me know I you require additional information, if not please process my claim against M & T Bank As Soon As Possible. Thanking you in advance.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Ocwen has approved us for a HAMP trial payment plan. After speaking with my relationship manager, I had some concerns regarding the documents I received. 
1 ). Will the holder of the note still be the securitized trust, Option One Mortgage Loan Trust 2006XXXX with the loan modification? 
2 ). If OOMLT 2006XXXX is the current note holder, why is the new unpaid principal balance with the loan modification higher than the balance in the trust? Unpaid principal balance in the trust is {$520000.00}, but the new unpaid principal balance in the loan modification is {$580000.00}. 
3 ). According to the HAMP website, we could earn up to {$10000.00} in principal reduction for making our mortgage payments in full and on time. But the incentive information provided by Ocwen states we can earn {$5000.00} in principal reductions for making our mortgage payments in full and on time. Why are we not eligible to receive the full {$10000.00} in principal reduction for making our mortgage payments in full and on time? 
4 ). Would like to understand why there was not a principal forbearance? 
5 ). Would like to understand why ca n't our loan terms be extended?

I made my mortgage payment to Ocwen Loan Servicing , LLC on XXXX XXXX, 2015 and it still has not been credited to my account. I have made numerous attempts to provide proof of the payment, but they will only accept a revolving bank statement as proof. My bank does not provide such a statement. I have sent them 3 months worth of bank statements so that they could trace my balances themselves if they think that I was somehow manipulating the data on the XXXX statement. I have also provided a copy of a screen shot of the payment that my bank provided to me when I went into the branch to get proof of the payment. They are extremely uncooperative and rude to me when I try to get this resolved. I have sent information to them on XXXX occasions and made XXXX phone calls and still it has been over 3 months and it is not resolved. This is affecting my credit and they keep charging me late fees and continue to make harrassing phone calls to my home. I just do not know what else I can do at this point. I have now had to contact an attorney for help in getting this cleared up.
