Company: PNC Bank N.A.

Complaint narrative:
We were unable to make our mortgage payments for a while and tried to apply for a HAMP which was denied by PNC Mortgage. At that point we made an agreement with the bank to do a short sale. We received a short sale offer which was denied by PNC. I believe the BPO that was sent to the bank was too high for a short sale property. The listed amount was as high as a house selling for top dollar in our neighborhood. We went to PNC Mortgage with a counter offer and that was also denied. I believe that PNC Mortgage is trying to for us into a foreclosure rather than accepting the offers for the sale. I had also written to PNC Mortgage asking for the information of our loan investor and never received a response.

On XXXX XXXX I went to the grocery store, pulled out my phone bank app, checked my balance and bought groceries for XXXX It showed I still had XXXX left. 
Next day I got an overdraft fee and the bank said it covered the transaction even when I do n't authorize them to cover transactions for me in my settings. 
I transferred funds to cover the overdraft over the weekend. 
They put a {$35.00} fee and bounced another transaction for me. 
They absolutely refuse to refund the fee and are holding my account hostage in the negative. They are going to start raping it this week. Then they 're going to send me to collections and ruin my credit. The overdraft in my account is exactly the amount of their fee. I 've covered all my overdrafts and paid all my vendors.

Company: STONEGATE MORTGAGE CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I first received a loan modification from Stonegate mortgage on XXXX 2015, at this time my payment was going to be XXXX, estimated then went up to XXXX after I had signed the new paperwork at the XXXX payment, they agreed this was their mistake and each time they told me I could fill out a loan modification packet to get my account current again after i kept complaining that the payment was not what I agreed upon. Now for the past year I have been filling out loan modification paperwork maybe four our five times ( different packets ). Each time I am told I missed the deadline. I even had it certified mail and the packet was there on time, they said oh no you missed this, after I was told what I needed to send in and my packet was complete, either by mail, or phone or email. we dont understand what this docoument means, this needs to be certified, the bank statements are not current, the payroll is not current. i now received a letter of default, the XXXX one today. I know I am doing my part getting the paperwork in. I talk to people on the phone and we go over everything, that is needed. I resend it, but sometimes when I am on the phone the person says dont worry about that it is more then sixty days old. Then I talk to someone else and they say oh no you need to send it. I have yet talk to a person that is handling my case, only someone that looks at the paperwork and checks the documents. I am thoughly stressed, and upset. I am doing my part and they seem to not care. The last modifcation to me was totally wrong, after I signed the paperwork they then added on escrow and insurance, ontop of my new mortgage amount. I complained to anyone that would listen. Now I am stuck with a year of resending the same paperwork over and over and it is like a huge game to them. Is there any protection for the consumer? IF you have any answers on what I need to do or who I need to turn to please let me know.

Complaint narrative:
PNC Mortgage has failed to respond to multiple requests for information regarding a loss claim filed for a roof repaired from hail damage. The initial check was sent from the insurance company to PNC, however, nothing was ever mentioned and the check was deposited into escrow. Additional documents were required to complete the claim and release the funds to the contractor. However, notification was never provided. It should be noted that the funds were sent to PNC in late XXXX XXXX early XXXX XXXX. Notification was not received until the contractor threated to place a lien against my property for failure to receive payment. I have tried on multiple occasions to contact PNC to confirm that all documents have been received and the funds can be released. After waiting on hold for 30 minutes or more on each occasion, an operator would state that all circuits are busy and disconnect the call. The functionally to leave a message is offered every XXXX3 minutes while on hold ; however, when I would press zero to leave a message, the call would remain active and I will remain on hold.

Complaint narrative:
I had previously filed a complaint regarding BMW Financial and my car loan. Although they provided an accounting record and a copy of the contract, it was never made clear at any point that the deferred payments would be due in a lump sum. The terms at the end of the loan were not clear and fine print language that was never explained. The terms were not explained to me when I was offered the opportunity to defer the payments. While I was awaiting a response and reaching out to BMW in response to a letter from them, when I called I was told that my account had been charged off-while I was awaiting a response to my complaint. My credit had been further damage and my loan charged off, while I was told BMW was researching and would contact me. 
In addition, my balance due amount has drastically increased and I am concerned as to that calculation.

Complaint narrative:
I opened an account with PNC Bank. My ATM card was stolen and used fraudulently. I was unable to get a police report because it happened in a different city than were I live and my local police dept would not assist. The police dept where the offense occurred also could not assist because the crime had already occurred and I was out of the city. It was a mess and I could n't figure out how to resolve it. While still in conversation with the branch manager - PNC abruptly closed my account. Now it 's a negative " SUSPECTED FRAUD ACTIVITY '' on my XXXX report. The total due is {$1900.00}, which is ridiculous and incorrect. But my hands are tied because they closed the account so there 's nothing to dispute. They already sent it to collections.

When I contacted PNC again they indicated I had until XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted them again and was told it had to be received by XX/XX/XXXX but should be postmarked by XX/XX/XXXX. No where is this stated. This is the 2nd time PNC has sent me Hardship Documentation with no due dates specified, the 1st time they denied me saying they received it too late. It was too late by a day. This is systemic behavior of 'moving goalposts ' to an avoid a loan modification.

Here in Colorado my mortgage company was bought out by Lender Live last year ( about 11 months ago ).

The website would not allow me to enter my account numbers properly for some reason. They claimed it was because I have ( and use ) an XXXX XXXX. The result has been my payments are late and Im penalized over their errors. Also I have been told several times for several months ( at least XXXX ) that the problem was being addressed. Most recently when I finally was able to talk to a manager I was told that there was nothing being done to fix the problem. I have been lied to repeatedly and I put in several unanswered requests that a manager contact me. This company has no responsibility for what they say whatsoever. Attempts to contact the company on the phone results in at least 30 min to an hour of time spent and a supervisor or management is almost never available.

Company: GUARANTEED RATE INC.

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a mortgage refinance with Guaranteed Rate, Inc in order to refinance my primary home ( XXXX XXXX, 2016 ). During this time I worked with a mortgage banker for their company in order to get a good rate for refinance. 

In the course of doing business with them, it came a time where the company refused to give me an updated Loan Estimate unless I completed a {$400.00} appraisal deposit to " move to the next step in the process. '' I paid that fee ( XXXX XXXX, 2016 ) and still was not able to receive the updated Loan Estimate. Due to this I decided to cancel my application with the bank and go with another provider who was more willing to work with me. 

After I cancelled my application with them, I was told that I would receive back my deposit, as the appraisal was never completed. I was told that it typically takes up to a week to receive back the deposit. As of today ( XXXX XXXX, 2016 ) I have yet to receive back the {$400.00} that I paid in deposit to this company.
