Complaint narrative:
Follow up to my complaint # XXXX XXXX. My complaint continues against my Mortgage Company Ditech Financial. Today XXXX I got two notices in the mail from Ditech. One says the flood insurance increase they requested has been met. The other says starting XX/XX/XXXX my house payment is going up from {$730.00} to {$810.00} to pay for the increase because they are mistakenly charging me {$210.00} for the flood insurance increase that I already purchased through my flood insurance company called XXXX XXXX XXXX. I paid XXXX at XXXX {$31.00} from my credit card on XXXX. The policy was due to expire on XXXX. I have no idea why she waited that long. My attempts to solve this issue started in XXXX and XXXX when Ditech informed me that a flood insurance increase was needed. I didnt ignore those letters as Ditech accused me of doing. I have sent at least 10 emails and made a half dozen phone calls trying to solve this issue to no avail. Thats why I need your help.

Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect — 
Company: LCO Financial Services, LLC
State: NE

Complaint narrative:
Took a {$400.00} loan out with Blue Trust Loans. It was explained what the payment plan was to pay off this amount. No explanation of interest amount was shared with me. Only thing explained was that a payment of {$75.00} would be my first payment and 6 additional payments of {$100.00} would be taken out of my bank account. After the XXXX full payment is made, the loan would be paid in full. I spoke with a representative of Blue Trust Loans tonight, XX/XX/18 and was informed I still have 6 more months of bi-weekly payments of {$100.00}. I explained to the gentleman that they did not fully explain that I would be paying over 400 % interest on a {$400.00} loan. There is no way possible I would take a loan out with interest that outrageous. The dates they have received payments are as follows : XX/XX/18 - depositedv {$400.00}, XX/XX/18 - withdrew {$75.00}, XX/XX/18 - {$100.00}, XX/XX/18 - {$100.00}, XX/XX/18 - {$100.00}, XX/XX/18 - {$100.00}, XX/XX/18 - {$100.00}. Again, all they ever explained to me was the 1st payment of {$75.00} and 6 additional payments of {$100.00} and then the loan would be paid in full. I feel I am a victim of fraud by this company. If, at all possible, help me resolve this issue, as I feel I should not have to pay the outrageous interest they are charging me. I have already half the amount in interest on my {$400.00} loan and feel that is adequate.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
An application for business credit was applied for using BUSINESS credentials -- not personal information was inputted into this application ( i.e., SSN ). XXXX allowed Synchrony Bank access personal information for a business credit card. Synchrony claims that based on the terms of the BUSINESS APPLICATION that they were authorized to check personal credit, but this is NOT the case if the only credentials you have on the APPLICATION is the EIN of the BUSINESS and not the SSN of the personal applying. XXXX allowed access of my information without having proper authorization, and Synchony Bank instead of aborting the application process infiltrated my privacy by prying beyond what they had access to. They need to provide the actual application and not just the terms of a generated web TERMS and AGREEMENT document. A denial letter is attached whereby SYNCHRONY BANK checked MY PERSONAL CREDIT FILE WHILE HAVING NO SSN on their application to do so.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
I have tried repeatedly to resolve this issue with Navient 's customer service and they have been extremely unhelpful. I refinanced my student loans and on XX/XX/2018, XXXX XXXX XXXX sent Navient a payoff on my behalf in the amount {$45000.00}. This payment cleared their bank onXX/XX/2018but still has not posted to my account. I contacted Navient several times by phone and was told to " just wait '' until the payment posted. Finally, on XX/XX/XXXX, I was told Navient would need proof of payment before they would begin a check research. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX who was gracious enough do a conference call with myself and a Navient representative ( because Navient would not speak with them without me on the line ) and XXXX was given a fax number to send in the proof of payment. I also uploaded this proof of payment onto my Navient online account on XX/XX/XXXX and was told the research would be completed by the end of the month. I have called several times since then to check the status of my research request and no update can be provided. My student loans are now showing past due and I should not have to pay more money when my account with Navient should have been paid off a month ago.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
This is a new complaint that is a continuation from a previous complaint that is still not completely resolved. Mr. Cooper explained and fixed the previous issue with my payments. However, in the process of the issue and because it took so long to fix this issue, several other problems have now occurred with my mortgage. 

Because my mortgage was left unpaid for so long even though I made the payments, it was put in a foreclosure status causing us to receive notices in the mail and letters from lawyers. Just when I thought this situation was resolved, I received an email from XXXX showing my own home for sale in a pre-foreclosure status!!! Talk about adding insult to injury after all of the other mistakes that have happened!! 

In addition, I found out during this whole process that Mr. Cooper paid my homeowners insurance and is now trying to raise my payments. They had no right to pay my homeowners insurance without asking me. Our HO insur. was on a automatic debit. I received a check last XX/XX/XXXX that said is was an overpayment of my Escrow. I thought they meant my property taxes since I was paying my HO Insurance on my own.
