HI, I had my mortgage with XXXX XXXX XXXX, it was sold to Nation Star.. 
in the past with XXXX XXXX XXXX website i had a lot of options, and information about my mortgage for example i was able to make extra payments and see in real time the Amortization calculator of my loan, as well when my Home Owners Insurance and Taxes were paid. 
Nation Star has a very poor Website, and a very poor customer service they are only available from XXXX to XXXX ET. 
I understand there is laws that allows mortgage companies to sell the mortgages, but the other mortgages institutions should offer AT Least the same tools and options to manage our most important asset which is our home. 

When i called customer service they told me that at the moment they do n't have that option in their website ... .. its 2015 Nation Star please hire some to build a decent website to server your customers.

State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I began a refinance process in early XXXX. My goal was tocombine my first and second loans with a good interest rate. 
I had been receiving adds from Nationstar Mortgageregarding their no appraisal fee or closing cost packages, and since I had a relationship with them, I called them first. 

I was offered a good interest rate but with a 30 year loan. Idecided to proceed. It was an endless process. I was askedto resubmit a loan rate lock weekly, then seemingly moreso ; eeach time with different numbers. My fianc is a financeperson by profession and would point out issues with thenumbers to me and I went round and round with Nationstaruntil we finally came to an agreement and set up a closingdate for XXXX XXXX. I was to bring funds to closing topay for an XXXX XXXX card. 

Late XXXX XXXX I got a call that the underwriters wanted anew homeowners ' policy as the one that I allowed them toplace for me would not suffice for the refinance package. 
Really, three month 's later they discovered this? Admittedly, I did not know not did Nationstar advise me that this cheaperpolicy that they offered was not really a great idea in the long rrun for me. Frustrated, I set up a loan policy but needed toset up my other homes with this company as well, so it wasquite a process! 

When I contacted Nationstar regarding the new policy I wasadvised that I had to start the process again but reassuredthat I would get the same terms. Again I was asked to redothe rate lock over and over and each time with bad numbers. 
The loan was supposed to cover the payoffs of the XXXX loans ( roughly {$86000.00} ) plus closing costs, with credit for escrowfunds paid ; leaving a loan total of {$88000.00}. Nationstar keptcoming up with a {$90000.00} loan plus money to bring to closing. 

By the end of XXXX I began to demand a closing date. Ithen received an email from an underwrited, XXXX that sheneeded Shedule E of my tax returns ( which she had ). Myloan processor apologized for her, then began to whineabout my XXXX hour workweek and how it meant that I needed tto bring more money to the table or wrap it into the loan tocover other minor bills ; most of which I had paid or about topay off. In addition I had submitted my XXXX balance ( decent ) to help with my debt to income ratio to helpqualify for the loan package that I wanted. 

Then to top it off he threatened to want to dealve into myfianc 's finances which would have not been an issue in thebeginning of this process but ridiculous at this point. Whynow??? 

I am totally frustrated by the incompetence and lack ofprofessionalism on behalf of Nationstar. I feel that onlyone agent ( XXXX ) knew what he was doing and that hebecame embarrassed by the botched process inearly XXXX and has been in the background since. 
I feel that Nationstar has been a disservice to me and Iam trying to get away from this company as fast as I can!

Complaint narrative:
I applied to refinance my home in GA with XXXX mortgage loans. I was sent a good faith estimate from XXXX XXXX and other documents for the refinance and told that our closing costs would only be {$1000.00} due to a credit they were giving us. I actually re-affirmed this with the loan officer via email and he confirmed we 'd only have to pay {$1000.00} out of pocket. Our documents were submitted for underwriting and we were told everything went through fine by the loan processor XXXX XXXX. Then all of a sudden some other person named XXXX XXXX started contacting us from their retention department. They said we could no longer receive the credit and would need to have a total of {$2800.00} in closing cost. All of this was done over the phone. No reason was given for this increase. He said our loan officer made mistakes. He could not tell me what the mistakes were. I asked to speak to his supervisor and received a call from a XXXX XXXX ( sp? ). He could not tell me what mistakes were made either just that the closing cost were now {$2800.00} and they could not give us the promised credit. I feel this was a switch and bait tactic used to try and scam us out of {$2800.00} by presenting this information at closing time. I have emails of all conversations with the original loan officer clearly stating we would be given a credit for closing costs.

Complaint narrative:
Loan was sold from XXXX XXXX XXXX to NationStar and I refinanced with the servicer shortly after transfer in response to several solicitations. With XXXX XXXX XXXX, I had bi-weekly mortgage payments automatically set to deduct from my checking account. Once transferred to NationStar, the service is not available to be honored - they utilize a XXXX party vendor ( XXXX XXXX ) however, they charge a {$290.00} set-up fee and a standard monthly service fee ( I 'm okay with their monthly service charge, as this is standard across most convenience payment platforms ) My concern is that the NationStar servicer discourages clients from making bi-weekly payments and their website only allows payments in full. NationStar directs clients to XXXX XXXX where the XXXX representatives advise that NationStar will RETURN any payments which are not for the full monthly amount due.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX has been harrassing me for payment of a transaction that they made a mistake on months ago. After checking my bank records, I was willing to pay the amount. However, the confusion during this time for that amount to be overlooked was due to some fraudulent charges on my account they were investigating and has switched me to another card. They concluded their investigation and credited me those charges. But then they claimed that this particular amount was still outstanding and started to charge me late fees for it. I have made about XXXX lengthy call to them to finally track down how this amount was missed by them and differentiated from the fraudulent charges that was settled. Although I am willing to pay the actual true amount of the transaction I made and that they made a mistake and missed, they want to add late fees to it. I was only made aware of the transaction and differentiated from the fraudulent charges a couple of weeks ago. Calling and talking to the customer representative and even their escalations supervisor is not bring any results. I need someone to investigate XXXX credit card for their incompetence and harassing me on a daily basis with multiple calls. Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
After repeated requests, Nationstar Mortgage keeps sending me the refinancing offers all the time! The kicker : Nationstar services my mortgage already and I am perfectly fine with the conditions of my mortgage. 

I have repeatedly contacted Nationstar to refrain from sending me refinancing offers and they have not listened to me. I get the impression that Nationstar either wants to make money in refinancing again and again or they want me to be in their debt continuously. Get me into another XXXX year mortgage and the clocks starts all over again. 

Please do something about this.

Complaint narrative:
Last month, in XXXX 2015, I applied for credit at Conn 's in XXXX XXXX, Texas for a new TV and entertainment stand. I attained the products and received my payment booklet a few weeks later. 

On XXXX XXXX, 2015, I purchased a money order for {$37.00} for my first payment. I was not able to mail it off that day. 

On Sunday, XXXX XXXX, 2015, I received a call from Conn 's saying that my payment was late. I was told that it would be due on the XXXX of the month, by the store sales rep. My booklet indicates that it is due the XXXX of the month. 

The woman told me no, that it is due the XXXX. I told her that I would put it in the drop box that day, but, due to Monday being a holiday, the postal service wo n't pick it up until Tuesday. She was nice and said she 'd document that on my account. 

A few hours later, I got, yet, another call from Conn 's about my account. I was stunned to hear that, until my payment is processed, they would be calling me DAILY. I said, no, they would n't. I received no other calls that day. 

Monday, XXXX XXXX, 2015 I received NO LESS that XXXX phones, along with a text message AND an email about this payment. Unfortunately, I deleted the email and text, but, have a screenshot of Conn 's acknowledgement of my request for stopping text notices. 

I called back and spoke with another person and told them NOT to contact me again today, tomorrow, or any other day, as this is harassment. I also informed them of my intent on filing this complaint. I hope they do n't attempt to contact me again.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On Tuesday, XXXX XXXX, 2016, I was on the phone with Synchrony Bank, for more than half an hour, addressing a concern to my Walmart 's Card and I also made a payment to my account. However, this morning, Wednesday, XXXX XXXX, 2016, I received a call from Synchrony Bank, at XXXX XXXX., which I did n't answer. However, within an hour, I did contact them, to get the nature of the call. Upon contacting them, I was informed that my account was overdue and I was told that I needed to make a payment to bring the account current. 

After I explained to the customer service representative that I had already made a payment to the account, she told me that it was not noted and that I would have to make the payment again. I asked if she could please verify the information, so I would n't be inconvenienced. However, she responded by saying that she had already checked the records and that a payment had not been made to the account and she suggested that maybe I had n't made a payment, at all. 

I was already upset by the fact that I was contacted at XXXX XXXX. in the morning regarding a matter I had already addressed. But, when she began to behave as if I were not being honest, I was even more upset by this. 

Anyway, I told her I would make the payment, so I could move forward with my day. Because, this is certainly not how I wanted it to began. 

She took the payment information and then insisted that I pay and additional {$15.00}, which had also been addressed the previous day, with another customer service representative. So, I refused and told her that I was completed with this conversation and I needed to get off the phone, so that I could began my day. I had already spent nearly 30 minutes of my morning addressing this redundant and unwarranted phone call. 

After hanging up the phone, I immediately went to the computer to check to see if the payment had been taken out, since I used my debit card to make the payment. Well, to my surprise and dismay, both payments had been removed from my bank account. The one from the previous day and the one I had just made by phone. I was outraged. 

I could n't believe I had wasted my morning addressing an issue that was already taken care of. And thanks to the negligence and inefficiency of Synchrony Bank - Walmarts customer service, now, I had made a double payment, which I never intended to do. 

I immediately contacted them back and demanded a refund of my second payment, which was never required. I feel that I was forced to do something against my will and I also feel that it was unethical practice. 

I was told that I could not have a refund, but the customer service representative told me that she would document what had happened. Well, this was unacceptable.

Complaint narrative:
When I bought a mattress at Sleepy 's XX/XX/XXXX they suggested I pay for it with a Sleepy 's credit card that was free APR for 18months - the purchase was roughly {$2200.00}. I agreed, though I 'd been planning to pay for it outright - I got the card and had roughly XXXX $ a month automatically debited from linked account. When I saw my balance jump from {$1100.00} to {$2000.00} XX/XX/XXXX, I called immediately ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and the man said I could pay the true {$1100.00} balance as a lump sum and close out the account - which I opted to do. I gave him the number for my XXXX checking account and he said it would n't go through - I had him try several times and it did n't work -which did n't make sense. He said to call my bank and see if there was some block on a certain amount and to call back to finish the transaction. I checked with my bank - there should n't have been an issue, they did n't even see that Synchrony had tried to debit my account. When I called back over the next week, I got hung up on twice. When I got through today XX/XX/XXXX, they said the option to pay the lump sum expired on XX/XX/XXXX - so now I 'm stuck with the {$2100.00} balance. This seems corrupt, unfair, and predatory - furthermore-I believe they actively did not accept my payment on XX/XX/XXXX to prevent me from being able to pay off the lump sum. Please help! I only want to be held responsible for the balance of the original sum.

Complaint narrative:
This has to do with a TJ Maxx credit card account. I had made a purchase on the card, then paid my monthly bill, mailing it. The next time I got a bill ( today ) it did not reflect that had sent them a payment. So I immediately called customer service. I had to try XXXX times to get through on the phone, the system kept dropping me into a voicemail box. I then talked to XXXX different people- someone in customer service, then transferred to payments, then back to customer service, then to collections, then to customer service. Except for the last person, all of the representatives were telling me I could get XXXX ( XXXX ) late charges deducted from my bill, and this was the reason they were supposedly transferring me, but they seemed to have some kind of difficulties with their system, or their screen, or some other excuse- during XXXX interaction I heard laughing in the background when talking to the male customer service rep, after I stated I could not understand what he was saying due to his accent. 
I had already agreed to pay the bill, provided the late charges were deducted ( I had a {$120.00} balance and they had added {$75.00} in fees on top of that, so it amounted to XXXX of the total ). I was willing to pay the interest, but not the fees. I was told this would be done, and I asked to close my account. The minute they accepted my payment ( and no transaction number was given ), I was then told by the 'collections ' representative that they would only deduct XXXX fee, and that I still had {$35.00} showing on my account, which was a bait and switch. Most of the people I was talking to struggled to speak XXXX ... I then wanted to pay the bill in full because I felt these people were very dishonest- and they refused to take my payment for the remainder of the balance! The last representative was quite rude, told me my account was 'delinquent and already cancelled due to nonpayment ' which is not stated on my bill, and not stated by anyone else on the call to me. Also this company is charging a XXXX interest rate! How is that not usury? The company managing the TJMAXX credit account is XXXX Bank.
