Company: Receivables Performance Management, LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have been a very loyal customer to XXXX for many years and having purchased, leased many phones going back about ten years. On XX/XX/2020, I called XXXX customer service and inquired about what I had to pay on the lease phone to close out the lease payment on the phone, a XXXX XXXX XXXX, and was told by a female representative, that {$290.00} was the final payment, calculated at {$25.00} per month. Please check the phone recording. What happened to my account being paid in full? I called in XX/XX/2020, and was told I still owed a {$200.00} balance, which was a different story. I never really got a bill from XXXX, which solidified that I owed nothing, but yet they sent me to a collection agency with attempts to ruin my credit, stating a balance owed was left. This is fraud and deceptive business practices. When I paid off the bill of {$290.00} in XXXX, that was a contractual agreement that the bill was paid in full and I owe nothing.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
This is the Fifth time I am re opening the Complaint. The company keeps responding and closing the ticket. The response is not per my expectation. I want the company to look for the evidence where the customer service rep had taken notes about forgiving the late fee. My Home Mortgage was initially with MB  financial Bank. Last year in XXXX MB Financial was acquired by Fifth Third Bank. Back in Summer XXXX, due to a payroll system upgrade in my company i got paid on the last day of the month. Since i was getting paid on the last day of the month, i called MB financial to explain my situation and request that since this not a permanent situation they should not charge me late fee since i will be making payments on the last day or the XXXX of each month. The customer service representative at MB financial agreed to my request and mentioned that they have made a note in the system with my request and the reason for the request. Now when i get my statements it shows that i have past due late fee balance of {$1000.00} which is not correct. I called Fifth Third a couple of times in the past for this issue. The customer service representative always said that they dont see anything at their end in the system. I was under the impression that the matter has been taken care of and i would start receiving updated statements with no balance due. I am still receiving the statements that show i have {$1000.00} past due amount. On XX/XX/XXXX, i spoke to the supervisor at Fifth Third Bank and upon further investigation she found the note that explained my situation back in XXXX but she mentioned she was not able to find the note that said they would waive my late fee. The note she had in the system was incomplete. She also mentioned that {$500.00} late fee was carried over by MB   financial to Fifth Third Bank. I am having issues with Fifth Third Bank customer service. Just last month they had but my mortgage in forbearance plan whereas i had called to request them not to put my mortgage in forbearance plan. The customer service is not making notes correctly and for my late fee up until Friday XX/XX/XXXX they kept saying they dont see any late fee in the system but on escalating the issue to the supervisor she found the late fee and the incomplete note. In this pandemic, i am trying to save on my money and paying {$1000.00} as late fee for no fault of mine is unfair. The customer service representative have failed to provide the service i have requested.

Company: Fay Servicing, LLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have tried to contact Fay Servicing again and my account manager regarding payments by me on XX/XX/XXXX, and Fay applying Escrow Funds on XX/XX/XXXX. That escrow balance appears to be a payment that was put in suspense which all started in XX/XX/XXXX, when they refused to review my homeowners ' policy. Once that was settled, then Fay has informed me that I had a balloon payment due from XXXX! During this fiasco Fay Servicing refused to accept my payments, I was not allowed to make payments online, and being told I was going to lose my house if I did not complete an application, I provided the information from my lawyer and Fay finally corrected their mistake, again. The last complaint I filed Fay sent a financial document that shows without question that those funds were not just sitting in escrow, but were from a payment I made almost a year ago that they put in a suspense account and then moved to escrow. I do not understand how a company can put a payment in suspense and then move to an Escrow account for over a year, all while charging me late payments and telling me I am a month late, they literally did not move one of the suspense payments after a previous complaint was resolved Now that a payment was made by me on XX/XX/XXXX and Fay applied the Escrow funds on XXXX I am still be told I owe a payment for XXXX. If my loan was transferred to Fay on XX/XX/XXXX and due on XX/XX/XXXX, then I made that payment to XXXX XXXX and it was not transferred to Fay, not my fault!

I started the process of refinancing my personal residence and vacation home in early XX/XX/2020. I was told several times that the loans were approved but then they kept asking for the same information over and over which was provided, then they lost underwriters, seems like they were always starting over. Now it's mid XXXX and they still have not been able to provide me with a closing date or if it has been " officially '' approved. I keep giving them updated bank statements, they changed my insurance to reflect them as mortgagee ( which happened early XXXX ) ; they contacted my CPA to ask a couple questions about one of XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, which cost me {$250.00}, and the list goes on-and-on. I have never experienced anything like this in all the refinancing transactions I've completed in 30+ years.
