Company: CIT BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I 'm stating this because I find it absurd that the limitation for debt forgiveness is under {$750000.00}. I 'm a widow whose late husband refinanced against my wishes and now I 'm responsible for debt over {$900000.00}. In negotiations with OneWest/IndyMac for a mortage restructuring, they received a desktop evaluation that my house is worth less than {$500000.00}. For that reason, I refused the terms of their modification contract. In said contract, they asked me to sign the statement " If, at any time, I can not afford to repay the entire amount of the loan, I agree OneWest/IndyMac can put a lien on any and all of my other assets. '' I refused to agree to that, and also can not accept a modification that 's equivalent to a sub-prime where the interest rate starts out low but increases every few years. I am now facing foreclosure so I would like to see if I can get an extension to the foreclosure date, which is now less than XXXX months, to give me time to find a place to live.

Company: AFNI INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received XXXX letters on XXXX different dates ( see attached XXXX letter ) from AFNI Inc. that I am liable to XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$2100.00} regarding an incident ( auto accident ) that occurred on XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX. The letter clearly states that the facts of the case indicate I am liable for a loss incurred. The letter also states that the Department of Transportation may have been notified to determine compliance with the Financial Responsibility Act, along with the Secretary of States ( XXXX ) Office to possibly suspend my driving or registration privileges. Additionally the letter indicates that I may be charged {$4.00} for processing. 

I phoned the customer service center on XXXX at approximately XXXX PST and spoke with an unidentified female customer service representative. After providing the AFNI file number, the representative claimed that I was involved in an auto accident at XXXX and XXXX in XXXX XXXX, CA. I told the representative that I was not in any accident at which time she asked if my license ended in XXXX. I told her it did not and she replied " how about XXXX? ". Again, I responded no. She then said that was supposed to be my driver 's license number, not license plate. At this point, it was clear to me that she was fishing for information and I stated such. I also advised her that my last name was not the same last name on the attached letter. My last name is XXXX and the letter shows XXXX. She told me cops make typos all the time and I advised her that as a XXXX, I can assure her that we are required to file accurate reports. At this point I asked to speak to a supervisor, which she declined, then hung up. 

I am concerned that this company is using aggressive and flawed investigation and recovery techniques that would cause serious financial problems to people that are n't familiar with law enforcement reporting and investigation. I was targeted for financial recovery without cause and due diligence. There is no preponderance of the evidence, which was not listed, to find me liable in any way. I am not confident that this company will cease attempts to collect this debt for which I did not incur nor am responsible for.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Chase sent a partial response to my complaint XXXX and I could not respond, therefore, for the record:XXXXXXXXThe response from Chase Bank is very typical of this company and the company tactics they promote to home owners in default wanting to refinance under the HARP plan. 
Chase knows who I am ... .... if the professional employees who work within the EXECUTIVE offices do not know how to do a customer SEARCH within Chase database ... .I guess that highlights exactly what is so WRONG with this company. 
Chase stalls, misleads, makes statements to loan owners that is NOT correct and Chase will not admit that Chase representatives make horrible errors working with home owners in default. Therefore, the mortgage errors become the home owners fault NOT Chase. Home owners then face auction sales, because Chase refuses to process HARP paperwork. 
IF Chase really does refinance under HARP then:1. Process paperwork on a timely manner to meet federal guidelines. 
2. STOP threatening home owners with wrong statements. 
3. STOP sending properties to auction - even when they are processing HARP paperwork. 
4. SEND loan modification plans to home owners NOT bogus plans that mislead home owners. 
5. Communicate accurate property values to home owners NOT bogus appraisals. 

If Chase was more accurate and honest with their COMMUNICATION I would pick up the phone and call them. However, as proven ( by written documents from Chase ) Chase verbally misleads and makes horrible statements to home owners. When a home owner challenges the wrong statements Chase only says " SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION, YOU MUST HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD WHAT THE CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE SAID '' Yeah right!

Complaint narrative:
The You 've Earned It Program offered by the Maryland Mortgage Program is in violation of the FTC regulation,16 CFR Part 321 Section ( l ) ( 1 ), due to its deception and unavailability of use. The section clearly states that " an act or practice is deceptive if there is a representation, omission of information, or practice that is likely to mislead consumers who are acting reasonably under the circumstances, and the representation, omission, or practice is one that is material, i.e., likely to affect consumers ' decision to purchase or use the product or service at issue. " The You 've Earned It Program was initiated on XX/XX/XXXX, the terms of the program are still available at the following link : XXXXThe program was then expanded on XX/XX/XXXX, to include Veterans, that announcement was made directly through a press release from Gov. XXXX 's Office : XXXXBased on this program, I decided this would be the perfect assistance I needed to buy a home, I had not considered this an option prior due to my large amount of student loans. So once I became aware of the new program on XX/XX/XXXX, I followed all of the required steps of the program. I acted as quickly as one can in making such large decision, and was able to find a suitable home, and negotiated an offer. The day XXXX have my offer accepted, an offer that was written based on the program at the time of conception, I am told that the You 've Earned It Program has been drastically modified and I am not able to obtain the original benefits.

Company: FAIR COLLECTIONS & OUTSOURCING, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I have sent many disputes to the Credit Agencies and to Fair Collections and Out in regards to the account that they are reporting on my credit file. I have informed them many times that this account do not belong to me. I contacted the Credit Agencies and they stated that Fair Collections and Out verified that this account is accurate. But it is ironic how Fair Collections and Out will respond to the Credit Agencies but not to me. It seems to me as if they are intentionally disregarding all of my letters and the FCRA laws. I have also sent them a Fraud Affidavit and still no response from Fair Collections and Out. Not to mention, this account is still reporting on my credit file. I need your assistance in getting this matter resolved.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: AFNI INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
The debt collector has repeatedly called and sent messages. i have responded in writing on five separate occasions. the collector alleges that i have a debt in excess of a {$1000.00} for subrogation of an insurance claim from an auto incident that occurred in XX/XX/XXXX in XXXX XXXX. There was an incident but the police determined that there was no liability and that they could not assign fault and clearly stated that each insurance company should pay the damage ( mine was a rented car and XXXX XXXX covered the damage to my car ). neither the police nor any court made a determination of liability but Afni insisted that XXXX ( the other persons insurance company ) determined I was liable. They do not respond to my written explanations and after researching them, I have learned that they have often destroyed people 's credit ratings based on circumstances such as these. On the phone, they repeatedly state I am liable but I am unclear on how legally a company is able to unilaterally ascertain liability and hire a credit agency to harass a person.

Complaint narrative:
I received the complaint the response from the Regions Bank with complaint # XXXX whereas the bank did not answer the question about them charging overdraft the same day the overdraft occurred. Because of this situation, I have no alternative but to find another bank. I do n't want to be associated with Regions bank whereas they think only about themselves and not their custom. I am in the processing of changing bank because I was originally with XXXX was a better bank. Regions did not address my concerns. I want the company that oversees banks to see if Regions was violating the laws by putting through the overdraft the same day that the check came through. This was not the case. This is done if you have their overdraft protection. Please have the agency that oversees the bank look into this matter. The response that the bank submitted did not answer my complaint.
