Company: KEYCORP

Complaint narrative:
I had called Key Bank several times to help take care of my loan. I can not afford payments right now of almost {$80.00} a month. I explained to them my current situation several times, that I am working but can not afford to make payments for several months until I get back on my feet. I just graduated and got a job, my husband just went back to school and we have a baby. I explained I would have an opportunity to start tutoring and could afford payments around XX/XX/XXXX or I could pay a smaller amount and they refused to do anything or provide any help in any way. The said I could never refinance my loan or consolidate it, I ca n't get lower payments or a forbearance, or any kind of payment plan. I was told there is nothing they can do for someone who is trying to take care of their bill. They gave me no explanation why except that some other internal department at Key Bank said " no ''.

Issue: Can't repay my loan — Can't decrease my monthly payments
Company: KEYCORP
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I previously filed a complaint that was being disputed but has had no resolution so I am filing this complaint. I have a loan with Key Bank and they have been the absolute worst company to ever work with. I have other student loans elsewhere and have had XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am currently a customer of XXXX and Key Bank far outpaces any other company as the worst company I have to deal with. I have tried to lower my payments for a long time at this point because I can not afford the ridiculous payment which is over {$450.00} right now. I can only afford about $ XXXX- {$150.00} a month and I desperately want to make my payments but XXXX has now made me work with a third company who has a restricted number because they are so shady. They already use one company to take care of the loan, Key owns the loan, and now they have hired another company with the sole responsibility to call me 5 times a day to harass me. This company 's predatory practices are beyond ridiculous at this point. I want to pay my loan and eventually I will have a higher paying job ( or my wife will have a higher paying job ) but we do n't have the ability to afford payments right now. I, like so many other students, feel like I was taken advantage of whenever I went to school and was not told that I would be harassed constantly and would have to pay more than half of one of my paychecks a month to student loan companies. My income will not allow me to pay the loans but Key Bank does not care about people which has been proven every time I call them. Please, someone help me actually be able to pay my loan and prevent this company from attempting to take over and ruin my life. Thank you for any help you can be.

Company: TCF NATIONAL BANK
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I would like to make a complaint about TCF Bank, about closing my checking account and freezing my funds, and not trying to properly address my concerns or resolving the problem. My account was closed because I had ACH deposits go into my checking account for my business, and the deposits was in the name of my business, and not my personal name. The bank told me that the funds came in as tax refunds and in someone else 's name and not my name. I assured them that they was not tax refunds but business revenue for my tax preparation business, and I provided proof of that fact on more then XXXX occasion. I also have a saving account that I had opened at the same time as the checking, and had changed the name on my account with XXXX, so the funds would only come in under my name, and there would n't be a problem with me receiving my funds. The funds come from the same source, and TCF is ignoring that fact, and has not tried to verify the funds from where they came. They have repeatedly lied to me about their investigation and have not on any level to contact me, or allowed me to speak to home ever is responsible for keeping the hold on the account. They wo n't even have the courage to speak to me directly and answer any of my questions for what legal reason they have for their actions. XXXX XXXX XXXX Tax Products Group, the bank that I have a partnership with and also the source of the ACH deposits has yet to be contacted to be asked for verification of funds, and has also sent XXXX requests for the funds to be returned back to them, but their requests have also been ignored by TCF. I am being told by there customer service department, that they are waiting on the IRS to tell them what to do about the funds, but the funds did n't come from the IRS, and unless they start with the origins of where the funds came from, the IRS ca n't answer the questions of this issue, because they did n't send the funds to TCF bank. 
I am sending my business reports, as well as other documentation that I have also sent to TCF bank, that clearly should have answered the question of this problem, along with contact information and my account number for them, that they may be able to also provide verification about this the source of the funds and why I had received the funds. My account number for XXXX is also my EFIN number with the IRS, is XXXX for XXXX XXXX, of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and their contact for XXXX 's is Live Tax Professional Support : XXXX. 
I hope that I have provided enough information, and if there are more information needed, I would be more then happy to provide it when requested ....

Company: COMMUNITY CHOICE FINANCIAL, INC.
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
My payment is on ACH but Cash Central debits my account before I actually receive my direct deposit check and outside the agreement. So every month I have to be on the phone with their customer support. I am pro active and call them instead of waiting for them to contact me. I have tried almost every month to get the problem corrected but to no avail. Their reps do n't want to hear the problem. Cash Central should stick to the agreement of when they would debit my account, same day that I get paid, not the day before. Also, they should have reps that actually care when I am calling them, not returning a call. I was transferred 5 times tonight but that does n't concern me as much as the fact that you sit on hold in between calls because they do n't know where to transfer the call. I pressed the right # s initially to get to the correct dept. it took over 25 mins to handle this tonight. If it could be fixed without another 30 -45 mins. Thanks.

Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit
Issue: Application, originator, mortgage broker — 
Company: PEOPLE'S UNITED BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
I had a equity line on my home. It matured after 10 years this year and converted into a principle and interest loan. this new payment quadrupled the original payment. This new payment will eventually financially break us and we will be forced to lose our home. Instead of waiting I immediately contact the bank who services the loan and asked what were my options. I provide them with all of the documents in hopes that they would be able to modify the loan which would allow us to continue on paying the mortgage. They came back to us and stated we could not sustain the modification due to the debt to income ratio. I pointed out the obvious that it was because the newly converted P & I payment was the reason why that ratio was now the case. Basically they told me that my options were 1. ) Apply for a refinance which made no sense since if they just denied the modification why would they approve a refinance. 2. ) Short sale my home or 3. ) Sell my home. None of these made sense to me, for one, we have never missed a payment ever. Two we have XXXX young children XXXX of which are XXXX year old XXXX and a XXXX year old XXXX son who has special needs services through the school system in the town in which we live. Which he will lose if we lose this home and have to move. In my opinion, this bank never took into consideration any of the extenuating circumstances of our situation nor did they consider the facts of the matter. They looked at the numbers provided and took nothing else into consideration including the fact that if we were able to refinance or modify this loan to reasonable P & I loan we would be able to easily afford the home the we live in. Instead they would rather watch as it goes into foreclosure. Peoples Bank is very difficult to deal with I have found this out through the years of dealing with them and I would like to find another option to rectify this situation. I am currently researching other options but I was told I should file this complaint anyways so that the incident was at least reported as another predatory lending operation gone awry. Thank you

WELLS FARGO CROOKS. Back in XXXX 2016 I closed my Wells Fargo checking account online. I ve been waiting for my money since then. Even though I already filed a complaint here before ( case # XXXX ) and they sent me a letter saying they were going to do whatever necessary to solve the issue they still have n't done anything. They have failed to their promises three times to send me my money. I 'm glad I do n't bank with them anymore and I do n't not recommend them because they do n't act quickly when it comes to your money but if it 's their money they will fight with teeth and nails and lawyers til you pay the last dime. It is nasty that they can charge you penalties and late fees if you do n't pay something you owe to them but they will not pay interest or dividend on the money they have held from me illegally for the last 7 months. Ridiculous

Company: Community Loan Servicing, LLC (formerly known as Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC)
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Bayview Loan Servicing , LLC ( Bayview ) is my purported mortgagee. They initiated foreclosure proceedings on my home in Texas XX/XX/2016 without first providing a default notice and opportunity to cure as required by the Texas Property Code and Deed of Trust. I was not in default when the foreclosure was commenced. I filed a lawsuit to get the foreclosure restrained, and the judge granted my request for a TRO. Before the foreclosure, Bayview did not comply with 12 CFR 1024.39 ( a ), which requires a servicer to establish contact with a delinquent borrower not later than the 36th day after the delinquency. Bayview never called me. Not later than the 45th day, a servicer has to provide a delinquent borrower with a written notice as set out in 12 CFR 1024.39 ( b ) ( 1 ). Bayview did not do this either. Bayview has also violated the continuity of contacts requirements of 12 CFR 1024.40. Furthermore, pursuant to 12 CFR 1024.41 ( f ) ( 1 ), a servicer shall not make the first notice or filing required for foreclosure unless the borrower 's mortgage loan obligation is more than 120 days delinquent. If Bayview has not even complied with the above rules regarding initial contact and loss mitigation, then certainly they should not be trying to foreclose. Bayview is totally ignoring my contract rights and RESPA, and they are going to try to foreclose on me again soon.
