Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received notice that Tidewater Finance debited my savings account in the amount of {$3000.00}. I have never had an account with them. I contacted Tidewater on XX/XX/XXXX, and manager XXXX XXXX acknowledged that I was not and have not been a customer or client of Tidewater Finance. Nobody I know has an account with that company, and I have certainly never allowed my savings account to be used for any purpose regarding Tidewater Finance. Tidewater took my entire life savings from my account without my authorization. I 've also had {$86.00} in fees incurred because of their unauthorized and unwarranted debit of my account.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Here is a brief summary of what has been going on. Ten years ago, my wife and I applied and got a Home Equity Line of Credit against a Mortgage Free Property. Without any pre-warning or notice of any nature, it ballooned. We continued to receive statements and paid on them for 1 1/2 years. We went to re-finance on another piece of property, only to find out the Equity had ballooned. We have now been trying to get a Loan Modification for 1 1/2 years, either trying to get it rolled into a Conventional Mortgage or some type of Modification. Bank of America keeps on declining our application with the same reason that they can not verify our employment, even though we have supplied them with whatever they have asked for. In the meantime, they have stopped sending us statements, refuse to take money against the loan and are sending our credit rating into the mud! There is a lot more to this. The phone calls, the meetings at the Bank, the many people we have talked to. The amount we are talking about to refinance is {$75000.00} Thank You

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I was notified of a Tax Lien filed against me by the XXXX XXXX XXXX filed in the XXXX Superior Court by the Clerk. The Lien was filed XX/XX/XXXX for tax debt owed from the tax year XX/XX/XXXX. I had never been informed of this outstanding tax debt and had appropriately filed and paid my Georgia state tax. At the time of the lien filing, I had just gone through a Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy file XX/XX/XXXX and cleared XX/XX/XXXX. I moved from the State of Georgia in XX/XX/XXXX. Upon receipt of the notice of lien, I immediately contact the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and paid in full the lien with it subsequently being released as paid in full on XX/XX/XXXX. I believe the Lien was filed in error as I was never properly notified about impending lien and was unaware, based on my previously filings, of any outstanding tax debt. I have contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX as well as the Superior Court of XXXX County requesting a lien release through the " Fresh Start Program '' and have been denied.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I attended a meeting with Chase ( XXXX ) to refinance my mom 's mortgage loan as her Trustee and DPOA. Chase has the POA on record for her existing accounts. When I arrived at the appointment with the LO, I brought my mom 's most recent XXXX award letter and informed the LO that I was a Mortgage Audit Supervisor. He read allowed a disclosure to me based on the purpose of the meeting and disclosed that before he could take my application, he needed me to provide additional documentation which included previous income, bank statements, etc. This seems to violate Section 19 ( e ) ( 2 ) ( iii ) Verification of Information because Chase is requiring me to provide them with  documentation not only before submitting an LE but before I can even complete the XXXX Application. My mom banks there so they can see her XXXX income directly deposited, her Rental income directed deposited, and her assets. However, I was told to come back once I had all of the documents and my appointment was cut short. Please assist in enforcing the section on Verification of Information prior to being allowed to complete a Loan application. Even though I am in the industry, I felt discouraged in completing the application based on that type of flattened disregard of my time.

I went to their website to redeem points and selected ( 1 ) {$100.00} eGift Certificate to XXXX XXXX and ( 1 ) {$50.00} eGift Certificate to XXXX 's. The prices displayed for these were XXXX points for the {$100.00} eCertificate and XXXX points for the {$50.00} eCertificate. Once I checked out to finalize the redemption the final cost in the cart for the {$100.00} certificate was XXXX points for the {$100.00} ecertificate and XXXX for the {$50.00} eCertificate. I called the Diners Club Rewards customer service and they informed me the last statement covered the increase for the eGift Certificates and the price listed on their website was wrong. I had n't seen the notice in the last statement. I informed the customer service rep that their website is mis-leading. She spoke to a supervisor and they informed her I had to redeem the extra points even though they were informed the website was not correct. I did redeem but I wanted to bring this to the attention of the regulatory agency.

Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am currently in the process of attempting to get a mortgage. My mortgage was originally derailed in XX/XX/XXXX when an account for a collection from XXXX iXXXX XXXX showed up on my credit report, which tanked my score. This account was reported to my credit without the collections agency ever contacting me via phone or at my current address. I called the collections agency to clear this up, the agency admitted that they were in the wrong, and they agreed to delete the account from my credit report. This was on XX/XX/XXXX. I have made multiple follow-up calls to the credit reporting agency to inform them that the account is still on my credit report. They assured me they sent the deletion notice ... once on XX/XX/XXXX and again in XX/XX/XXXX. Still, the account remains on my credit. I contacted XXXX to resolve this over the phone after the collections agency sent me a letter confirming the deletion. XXXX said that in order to even look into the issue, I would have to file a formal " dispute. '' I explained that I could not do that as it would further delay my getting a mortgage because the dispute process can take up to 30 days and that the bank will NOT issue a mortgage with an open dispute on my credit report. XXXX 's representatives and supervisor subsequently refused to do anything about the issue, saying I would have to file a dispute. This is despite my offering to furnish the letter from the credit reporting agency, or to join in a conference call with the agency to confirm deletion of the item. XXXX wants me to engage in a dispute process that could take 30 days and will further delay the mortgage, after their error, and the error of the credit reporting agency. I want this account OFF my credit report NOW or I want damages for the full value of the mortgage, rental incomes into perpetuity, and damages for intentional infliction of XXXX XXXX.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NM

Complaint narrative:
On or about XX/XX/2017 I made a purchase from XXXX XXXX, a XXXX XXXX. I purchased a power washer and agreed to pay for the purchase through a credit offer from Synchrony Financial ( credit card ). I went on line to Synchrony 's web site to review my bill and set up payments ... There was a " Promotional Purchase '' offered " no interest for 12 months '' I entered into that payment plan. Having participated in other 6-months, 12-months, same a cash offers I thought this was a good deal, until I went on line after my first payment had posted and reviewed my bill. I shocked to see " Promotion Fee '' of {$50.00} added to my bill. I called the company ( XXXX ) to inquire about the {$50.00} fee and was told that by singing up for the " 12-month promotion '' I agreed to pay the {$50.00} fee. I stated that at no time was I told that there would be a fee of {$50.00} to enter into a same as cash payment plan. The customer service person informed me that cost was in the contract I signed, I replied that I was not informed that this type of fee would be imposed. I requested to speak with a supervisor, XXXX # XXXX in XXXX came on the line, I explained my situation to her and she replied : " I 'm sorry Sir there is nothing I can do for you. '' She went on to say that you should have looked at the paper work before signing. I feel that this is a fraudulent action by Synchrony Financial, the {$50.00} fee I was charged would possibly end up being more than any interest I would have paid on a {$400.00} charge over a 12-month period.

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage servicer is LoanCare, XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from the County Tax Collector that taxes for 2016 were not paid. The county is also charging me a {$240.00} delinquency fee. I e-mailed copy of letter to Loancare, since it is their responsiblity to pay my propery taxes from my escrow funds. I have more than enough funds in my escrow account. It 's been 2 months since I sent them the delinquency letter and my concerns have been ignored by this company, even after numerous e-mails and half a dozen phone calls. The customer service reps on the phone keep telling me that they will escalate the issue to a higher level and respond within 48 hours. This is the worse mortgage service company that I have ever had to deal with. I even asked if I could take control of my own taxes and forgo escrow with them. That way I can make sure my taxes are paid and make sure this doesnt happen again. They refused saying that I would need principle to be less than 20 % of the value of the house. This company is negligent in their duty to service loans.

Complaint narrative:
I have paid on my student loan, taken out for XXXX for 7 years and despite being in good standing making my payments I have paid off Negative 12 percent of my student loan. According to my calculations I have paid over {$15000.00} and I still owe more than the loan was taken out for. I have called them countless times over the years and they refuse to do anything. At times they would let me pay {$100.00} to not have to pay for 3 months but I still accumulated interest. I think I did this once or twice. I have begged them for loan payment options and was berated every time, they said because my parents co signed 2 of my 2 loans I can not lower my payment unless THEY ca n't afford the payment, even my biggest loan that I talked about above that is not co signed by anyone. How can I pay something for 7 years and be in the negatives for repayment? They have lied to me so many times and never have any help.
