Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I lost my home in the XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2021. I continue to pay my mortgage and am in good standing. My mortgage company is Specialized Loan Servicing LLC ( SLS ). 

My mortgage company is impeding my ability to rebuild by failing to complete required paperwork by XXXX. XXXX is requesting confirmation that this company is my lien holder before releasing XXXX funding. I submitted the paperwork to the mortgage company and was told it would be processed in 2-3 business days. This was weeks ago and every time I contact the company, I am told that they have sent the paperwork to " management '' and it will signed within XXXX business days. The paperwork is short - acknowledgement and signature that they have a lien on my property. It has now been a month and every time I call, the paperwork has not been signed. XXXX will cancel my rebuild funding without this paperwork. 

Additionally, this mortgage company erroneously charged me for homeowner 's insurance after the fire when I had no home. They then reversed this error but failed to do a new escrow analysis and I continue to get charged for insurance each month, which I must pay in order to stay in good standing. Every time I call to update this charge, I am told no one can fix it. 

Finally, this company has a policy that they will not respond to emails. They will not provide a contact person. They will not provide a direct contact number. Every time I call, the average wait time to talk to someone is 20 minutes. I am then sent to customer service and told they do not have the authority to help me. I am then told that it is my responsibility to follow up on these requests ; however, I can never get a person who has the authority to sign the paperwork or update my escrow analysis. 

Typical conversations take over an hour of my time. This happens weekly. I work full-time and despite dedicating my time to contacting the company, still don't have these issues addressed and resolved. I am told there is no supervisor to transfer to and I am not allowed to contact management. The company refuses to provide any additional numbers or contact options.

On XX/XX/2022 I purchased what suppose to been very luxurious hair bundles in the amount of {$450.00} from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX When the order got to me I could immediately see that it was not the same quality they advertised to me and knew I had been scammed, asked the merchant to just send me the item they advertised and I kept getting excuses and humiliated!

Several representative said they can see that what I received is not the same that was advertised but Chime dispute and investigation team will not call me and explain why! I have filed a police report on the merchant because XXXX keeps saying submit new proof, but they are obviously not looking at the proof Ive provided which shows the merchant is not willing to settle my claim.

Complaint narrative:
My credit card was stolen on XX/XX/15 and I saw closed to $ XXXX USD charges on my credit card. I reported the same day to American Express and they opened an investigation, I've been in communication with them throughout the entire process. I filed a police report and actively working with a Detective to receive updates on XXXX investigation. My account was credited back a few weeks ago but I received XXXX emails about my XXXX reported account that they're reversing the credits. I called AMEX right away and all they said " we have new documents stating these aren't fraud ''. They will not give me any other information and I reassure them that XXXX is involved as well but she said " that's different. '' and refused to give me more information. I was physically at work that day and I did NOT make any of the charges. My card was not signed so the merchant can always request identification.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: MOHELA
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I am a public servant enrolled in an income driven repayment plan, pursuing public service loan forgiveness ( PSLF ). The department of education has published guidelines on their website regarding resuming payments after the end of COVID forebearance. Per their website, since I was already enrolled in an income based plan, I will remain on that plan and I will not be required to recertify income until XX/XX/XXXX at the earliest. However, my student loans were recently transferred from XXXX to MOHELA, and my payments went up from $ XXXX to $ XXXX. They said the only way I could reduce my payments was by recertifying, but this is contrary to information on the studentaid.gov website, and recertifying will still increase my monthly payment as my income has increased since before the COVID forebearance began. Based on my understanding, my payment should resume at the previous amount, $ XXXX, and my recertification should not be due until XX/XX/XXXX. By forcing me to recertify early, I would be paying higher amounts than required from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. The customer service at MOHELA has been unhelpful, said they were unaware of the XX/XX/XXXX recertification date, and had no history of my prior payment amounts as this information was not transferred from XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I filed for a refund for my student loans I paid during the pandemic through Aidvantage on XX/XX/2022. At that time I was told the refund would take 4-6 weeks before I receive MY MONEY via direct deposit. I called in a few weeks ago and the representative told me my refund was approved on XX/XX/2022. When I asked why I hadnt seen my balance update at all he couldnt provide any answers all he basically said is the process is going to take longer than XXXX weeks. Fast forward, I just called in on XX/XX/2022 ( almost XXXX weeks in at this point ) and now am being told it is going to be 6-8 weeks from when it was approved to have the balance update on my account and then ANOTHER 6-8 weeks maybe longer before I actually get my money refunded. This is ridiculous that every time I call in I get a completely different story on what I should be expecting for a time frame to get MY MONEY back.
