Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received a call from my mortgage company stating I missed a payment for XX/XX/XXXX. I told them that I made the payment and had the ACH information to prove it. 

They took my information and told me that the payment was made, but that it was short of the amount owed. I told them I had automatic payments set up and that it was the same amount every month. 

They informed me my rate had increased. So, my payment was short {$60.00} I was transferred several times before speaking to a gentleman that told me I was in an ARM and this was the first time my rates were eligible to raise and they indeed had risen by 1 %. I told him I was never notified of the rate change and if I had I would have adjusted my automatic payment. 

He then stated that mistakes sometimes happen. But, indeed my rate had increased and that unfortunately the company did not send me any notification. But, I need to pay more. 

He then told me the rate will increase again next year and I should work with him to lock in a rate right now. I was under the impression the ARM was based in interest rates at the current time. But, it seems the company will increase my rates regardless. 

Also, I believe they had a legal responsibility to notify me that my rate increased. Saying mistakes happen is not a legit excuse. I should have had an opportunity to shop around once I was notified, but they prevented me from doing that by blindsiding me with an increase. 

Then I was told if I want to save my home I should work with the agent now or my rates will increase. As an XXXX XXXX military member i find this practice to be unethical and borderline illegal. I have the resources to pay my mortgage ( increase and all ) but this man telling me I need to save my home and I was in danger of losing it if I didn't refinance with him is a dangerous practice. Something should be done. 

Protect our veterans and XXXX XXXX by not allowing these deceptive business practices to be perpetrated.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
We purchased our home in XX/XX/XXXX. We refinanced our mortgage in XX/XX/XXXX. Shortly thereafter, Wells Fargo took over the mortgage. 

In XX/XX/XXXX Wells Fargo did an escrow review and mistakenly read the annual taxes on the closing disclosure. The taxes were listed on page 2 of the disclosure as " to XXXX XXXX County ''  .... {$910.00} and " to School District '' ... {$2800.00} for a total of {$3700.00}. On page 4 of the  disclosure the " Escrowed Property Costs over Year 1 '' are listed as {$4200.00} and include the homeowners insurance. In their initial escrow review in XX/XX/XXXX Wells Fargo mistakenly read the annual taxes as {$910.00}. Because of this mistake they came to the conclusion that our escrow account had an overage of {$2500.00} and they mailed us a check for that amount. They also lowered our monthly payment from {$1800.00} to {$1600.00}, which was {$230.00} less per month. 

In XX/XX/XXXX Wells Fargo did another escrow review and this time read the taxes properly. They realized the escrow account had a {$4100.00} shortage. They gave us two options. Option 1 ) Pay the shortage over 12 months and the new monthly payment would go up to {$2100.00}. Option 2 ) Pay the shortage amount in full and the new monthly payment would be {$1800.00}. Neither of these options are viable for us. We do not have {$4100.00} to pay up front and we can not afford {$2100.00} a month. That would be more than we were paying before we refinanced in XX/XX/XXXX and would completely negate the refinance. 

We immediately called Wells Fargo to find out what went wrong and to clear this up. They are refusing to take responsibility for their mistake. Initially, they tried to place the fault on the company who we refinanced with, XXXX XXXXXXXX. 

In XX/XX/XXXX Wells Fargo gave us the option to pay the escrow shortage over 24 months. The new monthly payment would be {$2000.00} which is still more than we can afford and is still more than the monthly mortgage payment prior to the refinance in XX/XX/XXXX. 

Currently, Wells Fargo is avoiding us and continually telling us they need an additional 10 business days to investigate. This has been going on for 3 months. Once the additional 10 days has passed they tell us they need another 10 days.

Company: Midwest Recovery Systems
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
On or about XX/XX/2018 I discovered through XXXX XXXX that a negative collection account by Midwest Recovery was placed on all three credit bureau files. I immediately wrote to them on that date requesting validation not verification of the debt. I never received any written information from them regarding the debt and my right to challenge such prior to my discovery at XXXX XXXX. Nothing within my credit files indicates that I have challenged their listing and the account is listed as " in dispute ''. Research regarding this firm indicates this is typical behavior on their part. I do not believe I ever had a loan with XXXX XXXX which is the firm they claim to represent and has been fined by the CFPB. Their previous pattern of behavior leads me to believe they will be unable to comply with my validation request or simply ignore.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX Capital One cashed a check for {$760.00} that was made payable to a different entity. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I called Capital Ones customer service line and spoke with one of the  representatives. After repeating myself several times using simple terms, I explained the error that I had made. 
I had inadvertently mailed Capital One the wrong check. I had mailed my office rent check to Capital One. 
My office, XXXX XXXX, an executive office suit, noticed the error quickly when they received the check that was intended to go to Capital One. 
I explained to the Capital One phone representative who had a difficult time grasping the concept that Capital One received the wrong check. When the representative finally understood, your representative said I should just wait and see if the check clears. 
It was to my surprise, it had indeed cleared. Capital One cashed a check that was made out to a different party. 
I mailed a letter to the attention of the Office of the President at Capital One.

Complaint narrative:
I was contacted by a man named XXXX XXXX claiming he is from XXXX XXXX XXXX. He claimed that I gave fraudulent check information or inaccurate checking account information to pay a debt. He said the debt was from Target Cash Now. I then received another message from an XXXX XXXX from XXXX claiming to from XXXX XXXX XXXX. She said I was going to be served at my place of work and the documents needed to me signed by me and my manager. She gave me a different number to call than XXXX XXXX. I called that number and the first time it went to voicemail claiming to be XXXX. I then called it back again and was able to speak to another person that sounded like XXXX XXXX the first man I spoke to. He said he couldn't give me any information and had to transfer me to a different department. He also wouldn't tell me what XXXX stood for he said it was the company name. The man that answered when he transferred me asked if I was recording the call and I said yes. He then said he couldn't give me any other information and hung up on me. 

I called Target Cash Now and spoke to someone in their collections department and he said the only company they use for third party collection was XXXX XXXX.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2017, I made a large deposit ( {$1500.00} ) into the Capital One Bank ATM machine between the hours of XXXX and XXXX XXXX I inserted my bank card and made the deposit. The machine accepted the funds and did not return any funds. At the end of the transaction, the machine did not provide a receipt. I reused my card to see if the deposit showed in my balance and it did not. I did not know what to do. The money was being deposited in order for me to pay my mortgage online via my Capital One account. I then called Capital One and told the representative about the problem. She said they would balance the machine and would register the funds at that time. Approximately 3 days later the funds were placed in my account. A month later on XX/XX/XXXX the funds were reversed without any advance notice. A secure message indicated that the claim was closed and that the ATM machine balance out. This is impossible since I made the {$1500.00} deposit. I can only assume that they credited another customer with my deposit if the ATM machine balanced or the funds were stolen since a receipt was not generated for the deposit. I tried to contact Capital One several times and finally talk to someone in Fraud. I was told that they would reopen the claim since it could have been they looked at the incorrect ATM machine. However, since I have received another secure message indicaitng that the claim was closed without any additional information. I have requested the information used to close the claim. I am totally disenfranchised since without doubt the deposit was made. I have faxed Capital One my receipt of where I withdrew the cash funds from XXXX  XXXX XXXX which indicated the time and drove 3 miles to make the depisit into the Capital One ATM. I also provided them with my description hoping they could use the camera 's on the machine or in the area which will show me making the deposit. I am thinking this is not the first time this issue has happended to customers and it is indeed stealing from consumers. I am now delinquent on my mortgage as a result, as well as, I have had to cancel a planned trip to XXXX to visit my son who is in the XXXX XXXX. I am totally disappointed and upset with how Capital One has handled this situation for such a large sum of money for an average customer.
