Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit
Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I filed a complete loan modification packet with Wells Fargo Bank, afterwhich Wells Fargo Bank denied my loan modification request. 
Wells Fargo Bank 's denial letter had factually based errors contained within it. 
So I filed a timely appeal and included additional exhibits A through F ( approx. XXXX pages ). 
Wells Fargo Bank thereafter sent out a notice of receipt of my appeal and that letter also contained factually based errors by stating that my appeal was submitted without additional documentation and that I had a present bankruptcy case. ( none of which was true, see attached appeal and Wells Fargo 's incorrect letters ) Wells Fargo than tool less than three days to deny my appeal and did so without XXXX providing me with the additional documentation that my appeal had requested from Wells Fargo, instead I was told that my loan modification was denied. 
Wells Fargo Bank commits these errors either through gross negligence or intentionally created and Wells Fargo Bank has no intention of conducting a good faith loan modification review. 
Wells Fargo Bank should not be allowed to just deny loan modification applications based on factual errors, and than Wells Fargo Bank should not be the only entity to review their own errors in the borrowers loan modification appeal. 
Wells Fargo Bank literally just goes through the motions in order to appear in compliance with the law, but than does not even bother to read the borrowers documents that they have submitted in support of the loan modification process. 
Than when Wells Fargo Bank denies the loan modification application, they refuse to send you the denial letter by fax, and instead they choose to use the XXXX Mail which always takes approximately XXXX additional days to receive. 
This act alone also cuts into the borrowers time to prepare documents and submit a timely request for review. 
Wells Fargo Bank 's entire loan modification process is a farce and set up to blatantly ignore the borrowers information in order to expedite Wells Fargo Bank 's predetermined denial. 
Wells Fargo Bank continues to violate the CFPB 's rules and regulations.

Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't decrease my monthly payments
Company: GREAT LAKES
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I borrowed money in the form of " Parent Plus '' loans through the Federal government and Great Lakes for my son 's college tuition since the school said he did not qualify for loans based on his own merit. After graduating five years later, my son ( technically I ) had accumulated over XXXX in loans and interest spread out among XXXX different " government backed '' lenders who all wanted separate payments or I could consolidate the loans on an income based plan which would be a smaller payment my son would have to make through me since he still did not qualify to hold the loans himself. Maybe in the fine print somewhere on page XXXX of the novel of a loan agreement it said that the loan would no longer be a true school loan with all the low interest benefits, but I did not know that at the time of refinancing. Now we are paying 8 percent interest on a modified government backed loan. How is that justifiable morally. The price of his education at the Colorado XXXX XXXX XXXX did n't yield an income representative of the hugely inflated cost he is paying and to add insult to injury, my lower income makes it impossible for me to refinance the loan with a lower interest rate.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My husband passed away XXXX XXXX, 2014. 

Since that time, TD Bank has refused to talk to me. My husband 's death constituted a hardship, and I have been unable to work on a loan modification, request Florida 's Hardest Hit Funds, or appeal to any other kind of avenue to prevent a default of the loan. 

Despite not being on the Note, I am an owner of the home and should have been serviced. Up to this day I have not yet been serviced - the loan has been forwarded to a foreclosure department of TD Bank, and that is all they have spoken to me about. 

Per CFPB rules, as a successor in interest, I should have been serviced. There was a negligible default on the property of {$540.00}, which has ballooned into {$6000.00}. It continues to snowball. This is a problem that could have easily been fixed had I only been serviced. 

As a result of the default I can not even refinance. I have equity in the home and am perfectly able of catching up - I would also qualify for the hardest hit program with a simple assumption of the loan.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: GREAT LAKES
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have a consolidation loan serviced by Great Lakes. My repayment plan was a tiered approach with three different repayment amounts. Throughout the life of the loans ( repayment began in XX/XX/2004 ), I have instructed Great Lakes to apply any overages from the loans to principle of the loan ( both on coupons and subsequently in various electronic communications submitted to them ). It has been my practice to submit approximately {$100.00} extra a month above each required payment ( I eventually switched to automatic withdrawals with this instruction ). Whenever I have inquired on this point regarding paying above the loan amount with a live person, I have been told that their policy is to apply overages to interest outstanding first, then principle. Additionally, I have received statements indicating my loan is " paid ahead '' by nearly {$9000.00}, in derogation of what I have told them repeatedly in written, spoken and electronic media. I believe, based on the statements on the CFPB website, the actions of the lender are in violation of student loan regs.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
TD Bank has been charging me illegitimate maintenance fees on my account ( the _sum_ of balances on my accounts must be & gt ; $ XXXX to avoid a charge ; they fail to consider the sum of my accounts, and charge me a fee because one of my accounts has a balance & lt ; $ XXXX ). Each time I complain, they agree that the fee should have not been charged. Then they reverse the charge and file paperwork to correctly pair the accounts when assessing fees, and assure me that the fee wo n't be charged on the next billing cycle. But it does appear on the next cycle. For more than a year now I have had to go to my local branch, complain on the phone, or complain via email to get the problem solved. It is becoming tedious. Clearly the CSRs I am dealing with are unable to resolve the issue, so I am appealing to the CFPB for assistance reaching a more appropriate contact.

Company: Genesis Lending

Complaint narrative:
I have student loans from XXXX College called Genesis loans. From what I understand based on an article on your website, these loans were supposed to be reduced by approx. 40 % as a condition of the sale of XXXX College to a new owner. This article was from XXXX, 2015. From everything I read, this reduction should have been automatic with no action required on my part. But as of today, my loan balance has not been reduced at all. It is still around {$17000.00}. I would like to have the reduction I believe I am entitled to based on all the fraudulent practices of XXXX Colleges.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: First Advantage LNS Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I XXXX college in XX/XX/XXXX and left XXXX, XXXX to attend XXXX XXXX XXXX training in XXXX, XXXX. Five years later in XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from the National Credit Audit Corporation ( NCAC ) saying that I owed {$270.00} for damage that had occurred to the apartment that I was living in while in college. I took the letter to my legal department because it seemed weird that an agency would contact me almost five years later about a claim that had materialized out of thin air. My legal department advised me that it was probably a debt collector scam that they unfortunately see frequently with military members due to the frequent moves inherent with military life. Legal told me to respond asking for more information about the debt assuming that it would fall by the wayside. NCAC responded with an itemized list of maintenance charges ( from XXXX XXXX properties, the apartment complex that I had previously lived in ) that I had never seen before. The list was dated a full month before I had supposedly vacated the apartment and yet I was only seeing it for the XXXX time five years later. When I had vacated the apartment in XX/XX/XXXX, it had been under good standing with the rental company ; I understood that I would not be getting the full amount of my initial deposit back because it was standard practice to repaint the walls and have the carpets cleaned using the initial deposit. I again consulted my legal department who, after some research found that XXXX XXXX properties and therefore NCAC, were in violation of Title VI Chapter 83 section 83.49 paragraph 3 ( A ) of the XXXX Statutes which states " the landlord shall have 30 days to give the tenant written notice by certified mail to the tenant 's last known mailing address of his or her intention to impose a claim on the deposit and the reason for imposing the claim.If the landlord fails to give the required notice within the 30-day period, he or she forfeits the right to impose a claim upon the security deposit. '' XXXX XXXX properties failed to notify me within 30 days, much less via certified mail to my last known address, which was provided, and so in my opinion, the debt for damages ( that seem to have materialized when I was not around to contest them ) is not a valid claim.
