Company: American Mortgage Partners Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2021 a mortgage application was completed with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, a mortgage lender, for a property located in XXXX, NJ ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NJ XXXX ). All underwriting conditions were completed within the same business day of the request. The lender made the initial guarantee to close in XXXX. The lender then requested the appraisal company take photos and appraise the comparable properties despite having no authority to trespass onto other properties nor the relevant to the mortgage application for the property. An appeal was made from our attorney as the condition is not relevant given the appraisal amount for the property in question far exceeding the XXXX amount and the property noted in good condition as per appraisal and inspection. Further, the mortgage lender waited until the date of the lock expiration to " find '' another condition as an excuse to charge more closing costs for the purchase. The mortgage broker ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX ) handled business with the male applicant, and only would communicate the same information to the female applicant if directly requested by the male applicant as clear form a discrimination. The company is now requesting business records for any company with which either applicant is involved for the last three years despite business income not claimed as part of the transaction and K-1 forms already provided. Both applicants DTI, income, and credit far exceed the minimum requirement for this and any lender yet are met with poor communication, interrogations, and never ending unreasonable requests. The lender misrepresented and misled the borrowers about their ability to obtain a mortgage with the company, dragging the process out more than 45 days and preventing the borrowers from finding another mortgage company and costing the borrowers undue hardship for time, cost ( appraisal, inspection, lawyer ).

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc

Complaint narrative:
As XXXX XXXX, we have a business account on PayPal. On XX/XX/XXXX, they froze our account and asked for some documents. I sent them all but a specific one. This one document is the reason that until today, XX/XX/XXXX, we can not accept donations or transfer our money that we have on PayPal to our account. This has caused me psychological problems. we lose revenue that goes to other charities companies. Every time I communicate with them through messages or by phone, they assure me that we are almost ready but nothing is done. Our company belongs to a type of companies in XXXX that are not registered as a normal business registers, thats why we can not get any such document. On PayPal once out of many, I talked accidentally with a XXXX named XXXX. He explained to them that this is something that is true, and his manager told us that we just need to send two documents ( that they already had again ). XXXX assured me that the case would be resolved. But again they sent me a negative message. So I'm trapped because my money is in the account and I can not use it through their own fault, and my health and the public image of my company has been damaged. Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have communicated more than 20 times in writing and 5 by phone.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of 2021, I went to XXXX XXXX XXXX dealership in XXXX to finance a car. At the time, the dealership stated that I was approved, took my down payment and allowed me to drive off of the lot. Once I reached out to the finance company the next month to make a payment, they informed me that I had not been approved. I reached back out to the dealership and they said they were not aware and would be sure to fix the mishap. In the month of XXXX, I checked my credit report and I had over 10 new hard inquiries on my credit from the dealership in which I had no knowledge of, nor did I approve of. I had specific instructions for the dealership to not run my credit anymore and let me know if they wanted me to return the car. They told me they would not have to run my credit without informing me first and once I confronted the dealership they did not provide very many solutions. When I returned the car I asked for a letter to be sent off to remove the inquiries. The dealership agreed to send the letter and gave me a copy. The letter was supposed to be sent off in XXXX and I was promised to have them removed within 3 weeks. It has now been 5 months and all inquiries are still remaining on my credit. The manager of the dealership is no longer answering my calls and refusing to reach back out.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2021 [ at XXXX XXXX CST ] ; XXXX XXXX [ a friend ] sent me {$1000.00} as he had done at least 3 times in the past [ this year ] using Venmo. 

All past times [ before XX/XX/2021 ] Venmo charged a fee that was consistent with their policy, a fee of about {$10.00}. This time around ; Venmo charged over 3 times the amount ; a total of {$35.00} was charged contrary to their own fee policy. It might not seem like a lot, but when you think about the hundreds of thousands of Americans this could be happening to, it easily scales to an issue warranting a Federal Investigation. 

Over the weekend I emailed Venmo over 4 times, including testimony from the sender XXXX XXXX. At the time of this complaint, I have received no response or refund from Venmo.

Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
I have a va loan through pennymac mortgage. For the past 6 months since the covid 19 benefits have started to be taken away, the forbearance plan that my house is in since XX/XX/XXXX, is set to end on XX/XX/XXXX of this year. I separated from the XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and I started working out of state in Texas. My home is located in XXXX Mississippi, unfortunately this out of state working has cost me more money and I have taken a significant pay cut since I left the XXXX. 

When covid hit, I put my home in forbearance and haven't had the money to be able to make a payment for the entirety of the plan. For the past 6 months pennymac has been contacting me through an automated phone service. I applied for a mortgage assistance plan with the basis of it stating that I wanted to extend my mortgage out and bring my loan current so the payments could lower. 

They recently told me, for the first and only time that I was called by a human, that my application for modification was denied. Because of insufficient cash flow. Which was the entire reason I submitted the application in the first place. I can not for the life of me get ahold of an actual person at pennymac or anyone on my point of contact team. The numbers they list on their website either don't work or never get to an actual person. 

I'm sorry that this complaint is so long but this has been unbelievably frustrating not being able to get any kind of help from the company that promised to help me.
