Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue while managing or servicing your loan
Company: FIRST CITIZENS BANCSHARES, INC.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I took out a home equity loan on our home for XXXX with XXXX XXXX Bank. After banking with them for years, I mistakenly felt safe with this bank. While paying the monthly due payment, I noticed the payment amount continued to rise. Looking through statements, I saw consistent, extraordinary fees. I contacted the branch where the loan was signed and was told that the loan XXXX would call back. I never received a call back. I continued to call and go to the bank in attempts to speak with the loan officer- without success. Finally, I was able to get through to her via phone. During this conversation I requested to set up a time to meet- she let me know that my rate was fixed, she would look into it as it must be a mistake and advised me to call the loan servicing department in the meantime ( however, she should have advised me to write to XXXX XXXX and formally submit documentation. She gave me incorrect and detrimental advice ). I called the given number several times and spoke with representatives who told me that they would document my concerns while looking into the billing errors. I specifically asked about the loan going into default and/or delinquency credit reporting during this time. I was told not to worry over this as it was documented that I was in contact about billing errors. On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX I received a letter from a law firm requesting {$5100.00} XXXX even though payment due on account is {$3000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX even though I was told multiple times that repercussions would not be sought implemented during this time. 

To this end- my complaints are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX Citizens Bank XXXX XXXX tactics to lead me into taking a loan that would prove near impossible and detrimental to repay ... while benefiting the lender. They targeted my pregnant wife and me during an unsure time. 
Failure to provide customer assistance- XXXX XXXX Bank XXXX to return phone calls, respond to meeting requests and follow through with assurances. 
Misleading information that is detrimental to consumer- XXXX XXXX Bank XXXX misleading information regarding repercussions while actively investigating a billing error. 

As of XX/XX/XXXX, I have made XXXX appointments with the senior loan XXXX. I have arrived early each time to be told she is double-booked even though I made an appointment. I have been promised a call to reschedule. I have not received a call or been able to schedule an appointment. XXXX XXXX continues to not provide customer support. Over the last XXXX months, I have been misled by representatives and have found it impossible to get information from the appropriate sources. 
My account is in default due to the lack of response and misleading directives from XXXX XXXX Bank.
