Consumer complaint received 2018-04-10 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
As part of every monthly mortgage payment I make via the servicer 's web site, I always include an additional payment specifying that additional amount is to be applied towards principal curtailment. The payment confirmation that I receive, both on the servicer 's web site and in a confirmation email, properly reflects my payment choice and specification ( i.e. some component of the total payment is to be applied as principal curtailment ). However, when I check a few days after making said payments, the additional principal payment that in included has not been applied towards principal curtailment ; instead is appears on my account as " Posted Unapplied Funds. '' This has been happening for three months running. When I call the servicer, they tell me one month that they will " fix '' the issue by changing my account to a " hierarchy plan '' such that any additional payment automatically applies to principal ; the next month when I can they tell me they will " fix '' the issue by changing my account away from a " hierarchy plan '' such that any additional payment automatically applies to principal. The most recent example of this occurring was for a payment madeXX/XX/XXXX, where the confirmation email states : MONTHLY PAYMENT {$2000.00} ADDITIONAL PRINCIPAL {$1200.00} TOTAL PAYMENT {$3200.00} whereas the web site 's posted payments indicates the following : Unapplied Funds XX/XX/ {$1200.00} {$0.00} {$0.00} {$0.00} {$1200.00} {$340000.00} Monthly Payment XX/XX/ {$2000.00} {$710.00} {$930.00} {$390.00} {$0.00} {$340000.00} Note that what my payment confirmation indicates as the amount of XXXX for additional principal magically translates into " Unapplied Funds '' when the payment is processed. 

The same thing happened the prior month. I have attached payment confirmations for my XXXX andXX/XX/XXXX payments.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My complaint is with XXXX XXXX XXXX On 4XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX, I went to the bank to cover my overdraft that came in on XX/XX/XXXX. PNC 's policy is if a check comes in on the day, you have until XXXX XXXX to get the money into your bank account, which as I stated, I made my deposit at XXXX XXXX. When I made my deposit, I was {$0.00} cents overdrawn, however, PNC would be able to get the {$0.00} cents from my checking account as I have overdraft protection. When I looked at my balance, it stated I was ONLY {$0.00} overdrawn and I also called on the telephone to check my balance at XXXX XXXX, the telephone banker reported that I was {$0.00} overdrawn. Again, they could pull the {$0.00} from my OD protection account. As far as I could tell, my account was OK. Today, XX/XX/XXXX,  when I checked my balance, and to my surprise, I am charged with a OD charge of {$36.00}. There was no indication that anything else was pending in my account. If so, I would have put that money into my account to avoid an OD charge. That is why I was at the bank last night to avoid an OD charge, however, this morning, my account is showing a {$35.00} amount that was not showing last night. PNC does this all the time. Why is it that that XXXX was not showing up when I went to the bank last night at XXXX XXXX. This bank does things like this all the time. 
Apparently, this amount must have came from my debit card. Again, had that XXXX been pending last night at XXXX XXXX, I would have paid that too. I had the money to put in the bank, however, again, my account was ONLY {$0.00} overdrawn. 


PNC is a bank that likes to take fees. I would like to have my XXXX because last night, I satisfied my account and anything else that showed up, showed up on the next day, because again, last night, I was ONLY {$0.00} OVERDRAWN and as far as I know, the bank should not charge you an overdraft fee for less than {$1.00}. I have my PNC deposit receipt from XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX and again, it does not state any {$35.00} charge, had it, I would have put that in my account. 

Again, I would like PNC to return my {$36.00}, as they hid the {$35.00}. Again, the {$35.00} did not show as outstanding in my checking account last night.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  Washington, DC XXXX  Ally Financial XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  MN XXXX  Re : Acct # XXXX  Dear Madam/Sir, I am writing to you today regarding my account # XXXX. The purpose of my correspondence is to see if you would be willing to make a " goodwill '' adjustment on the reporting of this account to the three credit agencies.

During the time period this account was established I was very happy with the service. I was however not the ideal customer and made mistakes with my handling of the account. I should have done better with keeping my account in good standard, I take full responsibility. I became aware of the unpaid balance when I got a copy of my credit report inXX/XX/XXXX.

I know that payment was my responsibility and I am not attempting to justify this breach of my user agreement. I was however hoping you might review the circumstances under which this non-payment occurred and consider removing the negative trade line associated with this account from my three credit reports.

In the first seventeen months, my monthly payments never delinquent more than 30 days. However, after my husband was XXXX XXXX XXXX and was unable to work our family suffered financial hardships and my bills became overdue. This caused my account to be delinquent from XX/XX/XXXX.

As soon as my financial situation became better, I worked very hard to get my account up to date. Per my credit report, I have not gone pass 30 days of being delinquent on this account. In addition, I am also working very hard to pay off all late fees.

I provide this not to justify why the account was unpaid, but rather to show that the issue with ( Ally Financial ) is not a good indicator of my actual credit worthiness. I hope that ( Ally Financial ) is willing to work with me on erasing this mark from my credit reports.

I would like to stress the fact the information currently being reported is accurate. I am simply asking ( Ally Financial ) for a courtesy gesture of goodwill in having the credit bureaus remove this account from my report. I do recognize that this request is unique and that it may not be your normal policy. Please consider that the Fair Credit Reporting Act does not demand that all accounts be reported, only that any account that is reported be reported accurately. Therefore, a company does have legal discretion and permission to remove any account it chooses from the credit report. I'm hoping you will do that in my case for this account.

Your kind consideration in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Regards, Your Signature XXXX XXXX

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I sent a message to XXXX XXXX because after paying on my promotional balance for Years I noticed that the minimum payment would not pay the balance off before the expiration of the promotion. When I signed up for the card and made the purchase, it was explained to me very clearly in advertising on television, the paperwork in the store, and by the store employees that the minimum payment on the promotional purchase was spread out from the date of purchase to the time the promotion expired. I asked the Synchrony about this two days ago when I noticed the problem. They responded with the same information-they said that the minimum payment on a promotional purchase is calculated by taking the amount of the purchase and spreading it out evenly over the duration of the promotion. When I told them that if that was the case then my account had a problem they responded by saying simply that if I didnt pay it off, then the payments made the last two months of the promotion would go directly to interest first. First off, like I said the payments are supposed to be spread out evenly and they are not PLUS Ive been overpaying so I dont understand their miscalculation. They REFUSED to research my over payments and reconcile the account when I requested it. Number two, - it legal for them to charge all of the interest two months before the actual expiration date of the promotion?

Complaint narrative:
I began a vehicle loan with Credit Acceptance aroundXX/XX/XXXX. I have never missed or been late on a payment. At the start of my agreement, the dealership setup my account with Credit Acceptance for auto pay ; The dealer entered the incorrect account numbers. I called credit acceptance consistently for 1 week to find out why the money had not been withdrawn from my checking account. Once they advised that the payment was returned I paid immediately using my debit card. InXX/XX/XXXX Credit Acceptance upgraded their website with actual account holder information ( previously you could only make payments and it was done through XXXX XXXX  ). With their upgrade, when I went online to make my monthly payment, it shows my balance being almost {$1000.00}. I was shocked and outraged, when I called Credit Acceptance to inquire what was happening, the rep ( who was really nice ) advised me that my account has been reporting past due from the very first payment and that I have accumulated a multitude of late fees. After our conversation, I immediately checked my credit score and it was decreased by 150 points. I am outraged!

Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I took out a loan for a vehicle in XX/XX/XXXX, never missing a payment. PNC has strange rules about online account access, requiring a fee based checking account - so i set up automatic payments. InXX/XX/XXXX i received a 'final statement ' and was told i would have one more payment and would be done. That final payment was not for the notified amount. Instead they took less, and immediately sent me a late notice and began calling me 3x per day. Then collection calls started. To end this, i paid the remaining amount. A few weeks later, i received a check, and was told i had overpaid. Then i received a closed account letter and my title. OnXX/XX/XXXX,  PNC took yet another payment. I have been unable to find a human to help me. my case was 'elevated ' to 'executive level ' but the person i'm to call is never at work.
