Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX In XX/XX/2017 I notified customer service that I'd been directly impacted by Hurricane Irma and both my county of residence ( XXXX ) and employment ( XXXX ) had been federally declared National Disaster Zones. XXXX XXXX XXXX offered an assistance program to place my account in forbearance between XX/XX/2017 - XX/XX/2017 during which time payments would not need to be made, interest wouldn't accrue, late payments wouldn't be assessed and negative credit reporting would not occur. 

When billing reoccurred I disputed amount owed because it contained late fees and accused interest for forbearance period. I have disputed this reporting with XXXX XXXX, Experian, XXXX, and XXXX to no avail. This time period should not report as late, past due, or negatively impact me.

Complaint narrative:
Business Information Business Name : GM Financial XXXX : XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Phone : ( XXXX ) XXXX Complaint Details I financed an automobile for my daughter through GM Financial in my name in XXXX. My daughter defaulted on the loan and I took over the payments in late XXXX. She was behind on the payments so I asked to refinance the loan but was refused. I worked with a gentleman in collections named XXXX XXXX employee # XXXX for several months making token payments until I was able to bring the acount completly current in XX/XX/XXXX with two payments of {$950.00} each which included late fees etc.. The account was paid through XX/XX/XXXX. I made the regular XXXX payment of {$470.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, 9 days before the due date of XX/XX/XXXX. I noticed late fees were showing on the account bringing the amount due to {$500.00}. I paid {$470.00} about {$5.00} over the amount due which should have been posted to principal. I inquired once in the month of XXXX and twice in the month of XXXX on their customer complaint website with no response regarding the late charges and fees that have suddenly appeared. XX/XX/XXXX payment will be due on XX/XX/XXXX and I looked on the computer dashboard XX/XX/XXXX to set up my XXXX payment for this account and see they have posted the entire {$470.00} payment of XXXX to interest only!! I am so disgusted because its very, very, very hard to reach someone at GM Financial who can add 2+2 and come up with 4!! I generally exclusively work with Mr. XXXX because he sounds like he knows something about what he is doing but he can be hard to reach. I am working very hard relinquish my association with GM Financial and incidents like this make it not be soon enough!! 
Update : I received a call from Mr. XXXX in collections XX/XX/XXXX asking me to give a little time for the company to resolve this matter and to be fair I agreed. I told him that to simplify matters my payment for XXXX would be in the form of 2 checks instead of being online. I sent check # XXXX for {$370.00} that is clearly annotated for Principal only and another check # XXXX for {$100.00} that stated clearly Interest Only. When I verified online that my payment had been received I noted that only c. {$75.00} was applied to principal!! Completely disregarding my annotations!!

As a student in New Hampshire, there were not any Wells Fargo banks. I see it negatively affected me on my credit because I don't pay them back what they claimed I over drew the acct of. 

Looking story short, when my mother passed away my sister was in " charge '' of the accounts since my mother couldn't get up and go to the bank. This resulted in my sister over turning money that was sent to me, that I needed as a student. Wells fargo claimed there was nothing to be done.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, A few days ago I received my American Express monthly bill. The interest rate jumped from 8.49 % to 14.49 % a total of 6 % percentage points.

When I called to see why my rate had been increased the answer was that it was being standardized to current rates. Meantime, I have had this credit card over 32 years an in that time I have only had one or two late payments, which were over 2- 3 years ago. 

When called to make a complaint the agent was someone from XXXX and was just reading off whatever they have instructed him to do. Finally I asked to have me transferred to someone else that could actually help. The second customer service person almost repeated verbatim a similar story and since he could not help I was transferred to a third customer service agent - a person that deals with escalation calls. He was XXXX # XXXX in XXXX XXXX. 
He told me that American Express can do what ever they want to better align their rates in the market place. That is was all legal based on FDIC regulations. 

It seems there is no consideration for longevity with a customer or even good credit practices. I will probably discontinue using this card and just pay off my balance with the 8.49 % rate. XXXX # XXXX in XXXX XXXX told me during the conversation that his own interest rate was raised recently to 15.49 %. He didn't seem to be bothered by this change due to his job with American Express, or at least that is what he said during the phone call. He said that the rates were more aligned with current rates. 
He said he had been employed by Amex for over 30 years. It may be the same time period he had his credit card account.

This leads me to believe that they have raised rates on a lot of their long time customers and I'm sure many they are not very happy with this change. They may feel the same way I did that our long standing business with American Express really does not have any weight. Greed has the utmost importance at this point. 

XXXX mentioned that I had received a letter from American Express with a 30 days notice letting me know of the changes. I was traveling so I didn't see the letter until the same time I received the billing for the month with the change to 14.49 %. I don't think 30 days notice is enough time for anyone to find alternatives if they decide to work on balance transfers or to just come up with a final payment to close out an account. 

I would like to know if there is any other recourse that I or other could take who have been affected by this adverse changes in rates by American Express. 

Look forward to hearing from someone in the CFPB. 

Thank you, XXXX

Company: Rocket Mortgage, LLC
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Applied for a mortgage with rocket mortgage by quicken loans to purchase a home on XX/XX/2019. 

Was extremely upfront and honest about what i was looking to achieve ( purchasing a duplex ) and spoke with XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. 

After pulling my credit, seeing that i wanted to put 25 % down as well as more than enough in reserves as well as an income to support it, everyone ( including the underwriter ) stated this would be an easy and quick loan to get done and wouldn't have any problem financing this property. 

After two months of getting pre-qualified, getting pre-approval and conditional approved as well as setting up the appraisal, inspection, receiving estimated closing costs etc i thought it was going great. I stopped talking to other lenders, took time off work to Then, 7 days until closing ( XX/XX/XXXX ) i get a call stating they wont be financing me anymore for this property. I asked multiple times as for the reasons why only to be told vague answers that the company doesn't want to move forward on this. XXXX XXXX would not tell me any reasons as to why i was declined so i have no idea what to fix or if there was something wrong. 

This process has caused me much stress, anxiety, ive have to taken off work to get either fax, email or submit documents, attend inspection and appraisal etc. 

All I'm looking for is why i was declined when they stated i had great credit, DTI ratio, more than enough in reserves and an above median income.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Our mortgage amount changed suddenly ( went up ), due to the mortgage company 's escrow reserve calculations. One of our monthly payments was lower by {$87.00}, since our bank paid the regular amount ( there was problem updating the monthly amount that was paid regularly ). We paid the balance of {$87.00} shortly afterwards.

As a result, Fifth Third bank, did not apply the amount we'd sent in ( {$2300.00} ) until we'd sent in the remaining {$87.00}. This resulted in us having to pay substrantial extra interest, because they delayed applying the amount we'd sent in.

Additionally, Fifth Third bank is charging us a late fee of {$92.00}, to cover a temporary shortfall of {$87.00}!

On top of all this, their statement reflects the late fee of {$92.00} as a " Past Due Payment '' and not a " Fee '', a blatant lie.
