State: MD

Complaint narrative:
My property is scheduled for sale for this Monday, XXXX XXXX at XXXX for XXXX. It is currently valued at XXXX. I am ready, willing and able to resume monthly payments with a modified loan but an official told me today in a tape recorded telephone call that they refuse to do so. I need time. Thank you for your help in stopping this sale!! 
I have been attempting to modify my loan since XXXX of 2011. I have needed to hire XXXX lawyers, XXXX for modification and XXXX for bankruptcy during this time period because of a lack of cooperation and honesty from Wells Fargo and my mortgage holder. I have been denied modification because of lack of hardship, which is untrue, and now a high income XXXX. They have had no intention of granting a modification, since a meeting with the mortgage holders, but have been continuously requesting monthly payments. An official I spoke with in 2013 said my mortgage holder does not give more than XXXX modification, yet they have accepted modification paperwork continuously as my monthly payments have compounded. 
My original mortgage was XXXX plus an additional loan of XXXX. The XXXX loan was needed to be able to purchase the house. Because of the predatory nature of this loan, it was modified from 8 % to 4 %. The XXXX loan was forgiven this year. 
At that time I experienced extreme hardship. I was also paying off my house mortgage in XXXX. I was unable to rent that house because the town did not approve of having renters. We had moved to XXXX after being put on XXXX as a XXXX. My wife was also XXXX during that time, but became XXXX due to school construction XXXX.. My wife was awarded social security XXXX because of her incurred XXXX. She is of XXXX and has been a victim of prejudice professionally and even in this loan process. My parents and mother in law have died during our hardship and we have been taking care of my father in law, a XXXX XXXX victim. 
Wells Fargo refuses to work with me in this loan modification, even though they have received XXXX of dollars to help home owners. Please help me to delay this sale so I can resume payments again.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a home XX/XX/XXXX. Leading up to the process XX/XX/XXXX I talked to a few lenders. I work in XXXX and am very familiar with the mortgage/home buying process. I was interested in a conventional XXXX fixed mortgage for which I would make a 5 % down payment. I selected Wells Fargo. 
Because of my down payment amount, I knew I would be subject to private mortgage insurance ( PMI ). I was always told by the mortgage banker at Wells Fargo that after XXXX years I would be able to eliminate mortgage insurance if I could show that I had at least 20 % equity ( Loan-to-value ratio of 80 % or lower ). 
XXXX years elapsed and I went to get an appraisal. Wells Fargo then notified me that I would need to have 25 % XXXX. When I asked why it was not 20 % as had been told to me before and during loan closing, they said that it had changed to 25 % because of the pool of mortgage backed securities the loan was sold to. 
Of course I then called Wells Fargo to ask what was stated regarding PMI in my loan agreement. They said that the ability to eliminate PMI based on increased market value was not in writing, since it could change post-closing. I think it was inappropriate that this fact was not disclosed to me at any point during the mortgage process. 
While I understand that as part of the mortgage process I consented to the resale of my loan post closing, I think it is inappropriate that I was negatively affected economically because of the party that Wells Fargo had decided to sell my loan to. My mortgage insurance was {$250.00} per month and I was always told that if market values increased I would be able to get the PMI removed after 24 months and having reached 20 % equity. If the fact that it could change without my consent had been disclosed I would have sought a lender that would have maintained the requirement of 20 % equity for early PMI removal. I spoke to my XXXX and he had never heard of the 20 % equity requirement changing to 25 % equity post closing of the loan. 
My loan balance when I got the appraisal was approximately {$300000.00} and the appraised value was {$410000.00} XXXX I had 24.6 % equity ). I was required to make a paydown of {$1800.00} on my loan. While I was able to remove PMI with a paydown I could afford - I know this might be happening to other Wells Fargo clients and I think they should receive compensation if a loan resale decision affects them economically.

The husband in this matter filed a chapter XXXX bankruptcy and abandoned any connection to the property, while the wife is left to pursue her rights, as she is a victim of an earlier crime caused by the husband, which led this case into foreclosure to begin with.

State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Regardless if a paycheck that 's a direct deposit every XXXX weeks like clockwork or if I deposit funds via the ATM early in the morning, even if the funds show pending in the account, if any transactions come into the account the same day, regardless if that 's the first time they are showing up, Wellsfargo will charge a {$35.00} overdraft fee for every item. 
I emphasize the funds show pending in the account long before any other items present, so Wellsfargo is deliberately changing the presentation of the items in order to get away with charging fees. 
On XX/XX/2016 my aunt 's account was already overdrafted by {$500.00} and I deposited {$1000.00} early that morning, long before the bank was even open for the day to cover that and any incoming transactions. Wellsfargo went ahead and charged an additional XXXX {$35.00} totaling {$140.00} during the day because new items presented to the account long after the deposit was made before the bank opened. 
Wellsfargo seems to do this every single time there is extra money in the account and if you call them at best maybe you 'll get half the fees refunded even if they promise you to refund all the fees. They claim they are not rearranging the presentation of the items, but they 've done the exact same thing on my own checking account. My paycheck is direct deposited every XXXX weeks, Friday morning after XXXX am, but if I happen to not have enough funds in my account and an item presents, guaranteed I will get a {$35.00} nsf fee. It 's guaranteed funds that you can set your watch to and it will show pending in the account, but Wellsfargo will still charge fees to steal as much of my money as they can get their greedy hands on.

Complaint narrative:
I recently learned of an usry law in Virginia that articulates a 12 % annual interest rate on these types of loans. I, unfortunately, took out several internet loans back in the summer. Upon learning of Virginia 's usry law, I contacted the XXXX internet loan companies to negotiate a lesser interest rate. I was able to successfully negotiate a lesser interest rate with the first company. However, I called this company today and spoke to someone to inquire about the process of getting a lesser interest rate and was told that the interest rate was based on the contract for my state? I informed the representative about Virginia 's usry law. She informed me that I could speak with a supervisor. After waiting for approximately 15 minutes I spoke with a superivisor who said the same thing that the contract was written based on the state laws. This company is actually charging 299 % annual interest rate which is much more than the first company that negotiated a lower interest rate with me. Moreover, when I asked how much longer did I have on the loan, the response I got was until I paid it off. However, with 299 % interest rate when will that be. I am willing to pay back the monies borrowed with interest ; however, after recently being informed I now realized that I have been over charged quite a bit.

Wells Fargo offers mortgage customers the ability to pay their mortgage online for free however, every time I have attempted to do this I have received the message, " Please try again later. Wells Fargo Online is temporarily unavailable. '' So, if I do n't have time to mail my payment I have to pay it over the phone which costs {$15.00}. I believe that having the system always unavailable forces mortgage customers to pay the {$15.00} fee. Also, when I spoke with a representative about this issue he gave me an XXXX number for the tech department. When I called this number the automated system asked for my account number. When I entered my account number it said it did n't recognize that number and I could n't get any further. It does this every time I call.

Hello, I 've owned a home with a friend for the past 15 years. Same lender, Wells Fargo. We went to sell the property and changed how we pay the mortgage bill. Our property manager paid the mortgage in the past. I took over payments and tried to set up auto pay on their website with my bank. The auto pay is difficult to use and did not allow me to set it up right away, it took a few days for my bank to supposedly approve the transaction. I thought it was setup but the mortgage was not paid. 
Wells Fargo called my co-owner asking for my first name. They did n't identify who they were, he said he was not XXXX and they hung up. That is the only correspondence we had from Wells Fargo. They did not send an email to either of our emails on file. They did not attempt to contact my co-owner ( they had all his information ). They reported both of us late on payment and both of our credit scores dropped XXXX points even though I paid as soon as possible. Even on their website I was unable to pay the late fee because their system wo n't allow me. I tried tonight to pay and the service is unavailable.
