Product: Mortgage — Reverse mortgage
Issue: Closing on a mortgage — Changes in loan terms during or after closing
Company: AMERICAN ADVISORS GROUP
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I was told that my mortgage would be paid. After one year I would be able to access an equity line of credit after XX/XX/. My line of equity would be a growth account tax free. Any withdrawal for that account would be tax free if I had needs and may or may not be paid back. I went to see if I could access this account and was told {$0.00} was my line of credit. I took FHA counseling and went over what was presented by AAG. I needed to pay for a new roof that was discussed at all agents and FHA which was why I got a reverse mortgage in the first place. I was pushed to get all the paper work in and they even sent a notary to my home to push the documents through without time to review. I even called several times during the 12 month initial period and they said after 12 months I could access the growth equity funds if needed. I will submit what you think you need since there are many documents I could send in. Let me know. This is taking advantage and misleading of a senior.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am a first-year XXXX XXXX, and I have approximately {$370000.00} in medical school loans that will be in repayment starting XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I called Mohela customer service and initially spoke with a representative who was in training. I was inquiring why my IDR plan request placed in XXXX of XXXX through Federal Student Aid had not been processed by Mohela as of XX/XX/XXXX. I was also inquiring why I had been placed into a " Level '' repayment plan, which meant I had a roughly {$2000.00} payment due on XX/XX/XXXX. The representative was unsure why my request had not been processed yet and told me it might be " lost. '' I asked if there was any more information and he told me there was not. He suggested that I enter forbearance so that I could avoid paying the amount due in XXXX. I explained that my expected monthly payment on the SAVE plan would be $ XXXXmonth, as my monthly repayment is calculated on my income as a medical student, which was near {$0.00}. Therefore, I did not want to enter forbearance. I wanted my application processed on time. The representative told me that there was nothing he could do, and even if I was transferred to a supervisor, there was nothing more Mohela could do to help me. I disagreed and asked to speak to his supervisor. 

Ultimately, I was transferred specialist who did send a request to the processing team to address my IDR application. I also resubmitted my IDR request on Mohela 's website. I was not provided with any information how Mohela had " lost '' my request. Nor was there any acknowledgement that by them " losing '' my request, it could ultimately cost me thousands of dollars. The suggestion by the representative for me to enter forbearance is not a solution to Mohela being delinquent in processing my IDR request. In fact, this would cost me thousands of dollars of interest that I would NOT be paying if Mohela had processed my IDR request in a timely fashion. I would also lose out on PSLF payments ( that I qualify for as a physician ) if I entered forbearance.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to formally complain about the treatment I have received from JetBlue Barclays XXXX Credit Card. I have communicated my financial hardship, stemming from the pandemic and a 50 % loss of income since obtaining this card, to the company. 

I am currently facing an interest rate of 29.99 %, the highest among all my credit cards. Despite multiple attempts to negotiate the APR with the company, I have encountered no success. 

Despite my consistent efforts to make payments, I recently faced a reduction in my credit limit, resulting in a sudden XXXX drop in my credit score.

In addition, I have encountered several issues, including excessive fees, inconsistent interest rates, and inadequate customer service. In the year 2023 alone, I incurred {$98.00} in return payment fees and an astonishing {$350.00} in interest rate charges. 

As of my statement balance on XX/XX/, which was {$1600.00}, I have diligently reduced my outstanding balance to {$590.00}. 

I am seeking your assistance in conducting a prompt investigation into these matters to ensure fair and transparent financial practices. Your attention to this urgent issue is greatly appreciated. 
Thank you for your time and consideration. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/ two unfamiliar checks were deposited into my checking account. On the online statement the amounts are shown as {$1700.00} and {$1700.00}. Both were made in A BRANCH/STORE # XXXX & # XXXX. 

However, for the first time today XX/XX/, I saw images of the deposited checks and the amount on the checks are different to what it says on the account. The amount on the checks are {$3500.00} and {$3500.00}. 

On XX/XX/2023, {$7000.00} were withdrawn from my account. Leaving me in a negative balance. The notation on the statement says " DEPOSITED ITEM RETN UNPAID - PAPER XXXX '' That same day, I submitted a fraud claim with Wells Fargo claims department. They provided me with a claim number # XXXX. I was told it could take up to 10 business days for a resolution. 

Today I called to follow up and I was advised that the claim had been closed. The reason being is because they said the signature on the checks matched the signature on file and that a state issued ID was used in this transaction. 

The signatures on the check were not made by me. I am a victim of fraud and because of Wells Fargos lack of due diligence, they have prolonged this case. My account remains in a negative balance and all of my monthly payments that I make with this checking account are being rejected which will eventually cause credit issues.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
This will be my 5th time addressing the same issue with a reinvestigation of inaccurate fraudulent items on my credit report. I have submitted several documents showing the fraudulent items removed from XXXX as of XX/XX/XXXX. However Equifax and XXXX claim to have verified as accurate the very same information XXXX could not verify and has since removed from my credit report. Please explain how this possible if the reinvestigation is for the same information furnishers. Im attaching a copy of my police identity theft report from XX/XX/XXXX showing the inaccurate fraudulent information and copy of my Equifax from XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX credit report still showing inaccurate information after reinvestigation. According to 15 USC 1692 611 ( 5 ) a After any reinvestigation If the consumer finds any item to be inaccurate it must be removed immediately. How long does a investigation and reinvestigation take? According to the law 45 days in total. I have been in a continuous loop for the pass 3 years. With these none compliance credit agencies. In the FCRA Congress said since credit agencies choose to hold the records and reports on the consumer they have a duty to make sure that the information is accurate. And if information is not accurate they must remedy the situation. However it seems this only applies in some cases and not mines. They only other thing I can assume is discrimination against me for exercising in good faith any right, afforded to me under the Consumer Protection law. What other conclusions could I draw when I am doing everything according to the law on my side and the credit reporting agencies using my personal private information for financial gain get to ignore the law and do as they please.

Complaint narrative:
I have filed several disputes with XXXX and XXXX regarding the Department of Education/NelNet inaccurately reporting my student loan that was forgiven via the Public Service Loan Forgiveness in XXXX of this year. 

I provided XXXX and XXXX with letters from XXXX and NelNet ( dated XX/XX/ and XX/XX/, respectively ) confirming the discharge of the student loan debit in its entirety and a " XXXX '' balance. The NelNet letter includes a line item showing payment in full in the amount of {$39000.00} made to clear the account on XXXX 

The same documentation was provided to XXXX and XXXX and the balances were updated to " XXXX '' with those credit bureaus. 

XXXX and XXXX state the Department of Education/NelNet continue to report the balance and have verified the balance is accurate. 

I submitted disputes to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX and XX/XX/ and to XXXX on XXXX XXXX and XXXX regarding the balance being incorrect. I submitted multiple disputes just in case I mistakenly selected the wrong reason. 

I am submitting this complaint against XXXX and XXXX because XXXX and XXXX were able to update the balance correctly after reaching out to the loan servicer/provider. 

However, if it turns out the Department of Education and NelNet are giving out inaccurate information to select credit bureaus, I would like to file a complaint against them as well.
