Consumer complaint received 2016-11-09 00:00:00
Product: Bank account or service — Checking account
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management — 
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
PNC advertised a feature for its checking account which stated no fees would be charged to re-order checks. This was one of the reasons that I opened the account. However, after I had the account opened for a few years, the company decided they would charge fees to re-order checks that particular feature of my account would be eliminated. I believe this is a " bait and switch '' type scenario. It is not fair to change the fee structure/ terms of my account because the bank wishes to reduce its expenses. I understand that new account openings would be subject to pay this fee because the terms of the product offerings have changed and they no longer offer the product that I signed up for. I was " notified '' on an online statement ( which I admit I do not check ) that this would be occurring ; however, I do not feel it is acceptable to change account terms when the consumer has not violated any terms of their account agreement. In short, any fees assessed to an account need to be provided when the account is opened. This way the consumer can choose the best product for them. If the fee structure can be increased whenever the bank chooses, then there technically is not any way a consumer can know the actual terms of their product and make a correct selection. I chose a product based on the features it offered, and then that feature was taken away? This is not acceptable and in my humble opinion violates the very spirit of the UDAAP law. While this does not represent a significant monetary damage to my family, it does show that the banking industry is using deceptive marketing tactics to obtain customers and then unfairly removing features from accounts. I feel that I am justified to simply have the product I signed up for. If I bought a car with a navigation system and then the car company stopped putting them into their new cars, would the be justified to remove the navigation system from my car? In no other industry would this type of rationale be considered reasonable. Please consider my complaint and help me to simply have the product I signed up for.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Nationstar Mortgage adjusted our mortgage payment without providing the disclosures required by 12 USC 1026.20 ( d ). We received no notice XXXX days prior to the adjustment date, and therefore did not receive the disclosures and information that would have led to reduced mortgage payments through refinance or other methods. I have asked them about this and they refuse to acknowledge their responsibility to provide this mandated disclosure. Additionally, Nationstar, even after multiple requests, refuses, or is unable, to provide a copy of the Note with all modifications thereto as required by California Civil Code section 2943 ( b ). Nationstar claims XXXX XXXX as Trustee is the owner of the Note, but all they have provided is a copy as it was on the day it was signed, showing XXXX XXXX as the lender.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I was with XXXX prior to my mortgage being sold amost at the end of their modification and they sold my account to Select Portfolio Servicing. In doing so the modification had to start over from scratch. I did have a problem paying my mortgage ( due to loss of income through divorce with XXXX ), and received assistance from the XXXX program ( a third party ), but was never late. XXXX informed me by them being involved sending part of my payment I would not be accountable for any lateness on my payments, because I was always current with the part I paid ; they did recieve the full mortage payment. This would apply also through XXXX and until the modification was completed. By XXXX selling the mortgage just before the modification was completed, and me being at the end of the program starting over ; I had to go into an agreement with Select Portfolo to avoid foreclosure while their modification was in process. I was to pay an amount agreed upon, until it was completed. It was n't the full amount, but it was accepted and an agreement was in place, and that amount was never late. Now I am sited with 120days late on my mortgage, after all that was agreed upon. My modification is now in place and I have been current with my payments since the modification XXXX of 2015. I think this is unfair and if there is someone that can possible help me with this, it will truly be appreciated. Originally the loan was a ( ARM ) mortgage.

Company: BB&T CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
BB & T called in XX/XX/XXXX and stated that my wife ( ex-wife now ) had XXXX unsecured lines of credit that were in default and that since we were married and that I had accounts there as well, it was my responsibility to repay them or they would damage my credit. 

At that point I agreed to pay them a minimal amount each month to keep this from happening. I paid on those accounts until XX/XX/XXXX when my attorney advised me that I did n't have pay anything that I did n't sign for especially, under duress. 

These accounts were called into question when they were reported to the credit bureaus and I started phoning BB & T since there is n't anyone in the branches that really assist you anymore. XXXX XXXX sent me copies of the signature cards for those accounts and I immediately became alarmed because the signatures were n't mine or my ex-wife 's. 

First of all I removed her from my account in XX/XX/XXXX and had no other financial dealings with her from that point. She tried to get me to let her get her pay check direct deposited into my account in XX/XX/XXXX and I refused. She asked what she should do and I told her to go and open her own account, so she did, but I did n't sign for it or even know where she went until I saw a statement come in the mail. 

When I got the call in XX/XX/XXXX from BB & T, that was the first time that I knew anything about the XXXX account that was opened in XX/XX/XXXX. Since she did n't have much money and she did n't have her own business, I do n't know why she needed XXXX accounts. 

After getting nothing corrected with XXXX XXXX, I started going to the branches and had XXXX separate branch managers tell me that those were n't even the correct signature cards for those types of accounts and they did n't even have the correct account numbers on them. These were forged and created to attempt to force me into paying these debts that I do not owe. 

Attached to this complaint I will send a copy of the police report, the forged signature cards, the affidavit, a copy of my past and current signatures and the same for my ex-wife, a copy of the fraud response from BB & T. 

You can plainly see that these are not the same signatures.

After getting denied a loan modification and then denied a repayment plan, I applied for a short sale with Ocwen almost 2 years ago. Since then I have lost 3 buyers. I send Ocwen everything they request in a timely manner but they still call and email saying they need everything that has already been sent. Whenever I call, I get told something different every time. I 've been told it is approved then call back asking for the approval letter and told it is still under review. The files stay " in review '' for months. Whenever I ask for a manager I am told none are available but will call you back, yet I never receive a call back. They are forcing my property into foreclosure.

Complaint narrative:
Please assist, my husband and I are over XXXX years old and feel that we 've done all we can do fix this issue with no results with Nation Star MY house loan was sold from XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) Account # XXXX to Nation Star ( NS ) XXXX in XXXX XXXX. From the beginning there was an issue with an unpaid fee of {$120.00} for missing days on the property without insurance with XXXX we were disputing. When I heard the loan was been sold to Nation Star I decided to pay this amount in full with the last payment made in XXXX to XXXX to avoid any further problems. 

In XXXX we started making payments to NS as specified on the monthly bank statement. Then the first month we started getting calls and letters that we owe additional escrow balance to NS. They claimed the amount of {$120.00} had not been paid and we needed to pay this amount and late fees right away. 

I spent many hours on phone calls in XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX trying to fix this issues. XXXX months down the road, Nation Star was not finding the money, they kept arguing that the money had been paid. At the end of XXXX I called NS again and a gal by the name of XXXX was able to help out. We spend about XXXX - XXXX hours on the phone in which we call XXXX and they told us that all the funds had transferred to Nation Star. XXXX searched this money and found out that the funds had transferred to Nation Star and that our account needed to be fixed and credited all the extra fees NS had charged to my account. 

This gal try to fix the problem and told me she would credit all the late fees. Two, three months, later the issue was not fix. I would get on the phone and had to explain all the issues again, the reps would argue with me and tell me that the fees had not been paid until I would tell them to read the notes. Then they would say " the system will give you the credit ''. I have called many times for two years and they continue to tell me the same thing. Every time I call I 'm having to explain the whole scenario to the Reps and tell them to read the notes because they argue that the fees are still outstanding and we still owe the money and late fees. 

It is now XXXX XXXX, two years later and the issue with all the late fees has not been solved. The fees have gone up to {$500.00} + and I 'm sure with interest. This is creating a lot of stress in my life. At my age, I do n't need this kind of stress. I do n't want to spend more time on the phone with Nation Star because I do n't think anything will get fixed. I 've called them sent them letters, sent emails on their website and there has been no response. 

I 'm coming to you in hope that you can help me address this issue with Nation Star. I need the fees to be reduced, the interest charged to be restored, and my any wrongful or derogatory information on my credit to be restore. 

I can be reach at XXXXXXXXXXXX or XXXX XXXX Thank you , XXXX XXXX.
