Company: AMERICAN INTERNET MORTGAGE
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am a small business owner. AIMLOAN requested the source for XXXX deposits made into my personal account. I provided them the source along with a letter from the financial institution verifying the source, which was a corporate checking account. They said a letter from the financial institution was not sufficient that they wanted the corporate bank records. They were advised that was not going to happen. They are not requiring that I find another bank account with enough funds in it to make the down payment on the mortgage. The only account I have is a XXXX, so they are now requiring I take a loan against the XXXX to make the down payment. This and other actions feels like retaliation for a previous complaint against the same company.

Company: AMERICAN PACIFIC MORTGAGE
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
We contacted a gentleman by the name of XXXX XXXX who works with American Pacific Mortgage about a VA loan to purchase a house. The escrow was originally set to close at the end of XXXX XXXX. It was then pushed back to XXXX XXXX because we had a short sale on our prior home XXXX of XXXX and for the VA loan it had to be 2 years. That was all fine but then the escrow date moved to XXXX XXXX, XXXX according to XXXX " just to make sure we can make the deadline. '' XXXX XXXX rolls around and we find out that XXXX had not ordered a termite inspection which is mandatory with a VA loan. Our agent called an inspector who was gracious enough to make us a priority and come out the same day. Escrow finally closed on XXXX XXXX with no help from XXXX but by the assistance of our realtor and his mother. When we went to sign the last of the loan docs and the statement said we would be receiving over {$2400.00} back in the form of a check and we questioned that since we had only put down {$1000.00} in good faith. When we got the check for {$2000.00}, we again questioned our escrow agent and she informed us that the mortgage company had given us a credit and this was how they were accounting for it. Just after XXXX, I received a call from XXXX saying that and internal audit had been done ( again, later in the process than normal ) and we had to return the extra money and he would e-mail me with details on how to do that. He never did. I did get a call from our escrow company saything that they had heard from American Pacific Mortgage about the extra money but she said she told them that she could not be sure if we still even had the money. She never mentioned bringing her a check. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I received an e-mail from XXXX as a " follow-up '' about the Overpayment and he said that the VA was aksing for it and the escrow company said they did not have a check. I replied that he never e-mailed me to give me direction on what was to happen. He responded that the escrow office said they called me and that the check was to be returned to them. Thereby, in my option, blaming the escrow company for not informing me when he said he would. I did give a check to the escrow company in the amount of {$1000.00} that this morning, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. It seems to me, that the mortgage company and XXXX XXXX should have been on top of this situation and not put us in the position of having to return money we questioned not once but 2 times. Buying a house is a stressful enough process without the loan officer forgetting things and then the loan company making a huge mistake. On top of that, founding out that we are responsible to return money the mortage company give us. This is just a poor way to do business.

Company: MARINER FINANCE, LLC

Complaint narrative:
I spoke with the company and let them know I had been severed from my job in XXXX. They said they understood and would work with me. I paid small payments, but then when I was unable to pay in XXXX they began calling me twice a day on weekdays and once a day on the weekend. Then, today they called one of my references. I was two months behind and they became very predatory and made me feel harassed. when I spoke with them today, they claimed they did not have record that I was unemployed and had recieved severance although they admited to sending me the necessary documentation for it. I told them I was contacting CFPB and they said that would turn me over to legal if I did not make a payment by XXXX XXXX. I made a {$200.00} payment, but felt a lot of pressure after their threatening legal and wage garnishment on me. I can provide more documentation ( call logs on my cell phone, my reference contacting me about them calling her, and the paperwork they sent to me when I was unemployed ). This is predatory and unfair.

Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have banked with Regions bank several times in the past, most recently from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, a which time I had both checking and savings accounts, business checking and savings accounts and a personal line of credit of {$2500.00}. In XX/XX/XXXX payment on my line of credit was coming due and I transferred more than {$2400.00} from my checking account to make the payment. The next day I transferred a similar amount from the line of credit back into my checking account in order to pay other bills. Shortly thereafter I noticed that Regions had added the original payment amount ( made to my line of credit ) back into my checking account and debited my line of credit the same amount, while at the same time reversing the payment I had made to it. This increased my line of credit debt to twice its original amount. A series of penalty fees then charged to me on both my checking account an line of credit. Because I had a similar experience in early XX/XX/XXXX, where transactions recorded on my online accounts mysteriously disappeared from those accounts and I had not printed out the transaction results to verify them, this time in XX/XX/XXXX I did print out verification. I have tried to negotiate with Regions on multiple occasions without success. I asked them to simply remove the penalty fees from my accounts and I would pay off the total balance on my line of credit in XXXX or fewer months. They refused. I then threatened them with closing all my accounts and not paying the line of credit unless they removed the unfair fees and allowed me to payoff the true amount owed on my line of credit ( somewhat less than {$5000.00} ). Again they refused. 

I researched complaints against Regions at that time in XX/XX/XXXX, and found the vast majority of those to be about all of the " unfair '' late fees, NSF and OD fees Regions levies on their customers. At this time, in my latest attempt to resolve the issue with Regions, I noted the consent order by the XXXX resulting in a {$7.00} XXXX fine against them, as well as a payout of over {$50.00} XXXX back to their customers. I explained to Regions that I would file this complaint if they were not ready to resolve the issue and again they refused.

Company: ETHOS LENDING LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My wife and I were purchasing a new home and the loan was going through Ethos Lending in XXXX XXXX CA. An issue came up with our tax returns for 2014 where it turns out our accountant forgot to inform us that our Fed returns were rejected and sent back to him. It was not until Ethos asked about it that we contacted our accountant to find out the issue. At that point, he resubmitted the returns electronically and they were accepted. Ethos demanded that my wife or I go to the XXXX for a receipt confirming this. My wife spent 3 hours waiting in line at the XXXX to be told that since our accountant refiled electronically they were not able to confirm the receipt until the returns were reprocessed. This could take weeks or months to happen. We told this to Ethos and they would not accept what we were saying. We told them numerous times and even gave them the name of the XXXX person and our accountant 's information to confirm. It seemed like Ethos was dragging their feet with this non-issue and since we were days from the lock expiring it was even more obvious. The best part was that just after they charged us to extend the lock, this condition was signed off on. This was only XXXX of many issues we had with this lender. They almost costed us the home. The seller was going to pull out in a matter of days. To top it all off, our loan officer had conversations with Ethos 's sales rep and he told our loan officer that the charge would be refunded back to us after the loan went through. He forgot to tell us that he was leaving the company before this happened. Conveniently his boss had no knowledge of him saying the money would be refunded and they are not going to do anything about it.

I have been using National Bi-Weekly Administration , Inc bi-monthly payment plan for about a year to pay for my mortgage. I received literature in the mail and called to inquire about this " service ''. I was immediately sold on the idea of paying my loan off sooner and that this was the best way to do it. I feel that this company does not act in the best interest of the consumer and they rely on misinformation to sell their " service ''. I feel cheated and angry. Frankly, it is humiliating to realize you have been taken even for its relatively small amount. I want to help ensure this does not happen to others. I feel like NBA is n't providing a service at all like what they advertise. I feel the service NBA offers it that of someone that takes your mail to your mailbox for you. If they were to describe it in such a manner it would not be nearly as successful.
