Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX {$500.00} Purchased with in store credit card offered at Ulta Beauty with Comenity Bank XX/XX/XXXX Called Credit Card to repot that a statement had not been received and make payment for the complete balance XX/XX/XXXX Comenity Agent took payment and removed late fees/interest one time due to statement receipt issue XX/XX/XXXX {$3.00} interest charge was added to the account without my knowledge or agreement ( apparently as daily interest, without informing me at the time of payment ) - No additional purchase had been made since XX/XX/XXXX ( balance paid on XX/XX/XXXX ) - Comenity continued to charge interest and late fees on this {$3.00} interest charge in XXXX and XXXX. 
- XXXX - after realizing what was happening, I contacted a bank supervisor to inform of problem, they reviewed phone conversations from XX/XX/XXXX and confirmed that no information was provided regarding additional late fees to be charged after full payment was made on that day. Supervisor was to review with management and seek credit to close issue. 
- Called back XXXX more times and was told after another review they can not help and that would still be responsible for all interest and fees, however they would again escalate to Sr. Management - Called back on XX/XX/XXXX- they still would not waive these fees but offered a {$10.00} credit, I reluctantly agreed only to close the issue and I paid the balance. Agent said wait XXXX for statement to reflect XXXX balance. 
- Called back on XX/XX/XXXX to confirm XXXX balance and learned I was charged another late fee and interest for XXXX - unbelievable! 

I maintain very good credit and pay bills on-time each month. What this company is doing needs to be investigated. Although this is a small amount, the premise surrounding the charges is extremely egregious and misleading. If this is happening across all of their customers, they are fraudulently misleading and profiting from the public.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — Private mortgage insurance (PMI)
Company: VIRGINIA HOUSING DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
We pay our mortgage every single month and the mortgage company let our home insurance lapse. Multiple attempts from my husband, myself, and our home insurance company and they still let it lapse. Several times the invoice was sent and they ignored it completely. We have construction going on in our home for over 6 months now due to the previous owners not fixing things properly & all this with XXXX children. The mortgage company not paying the insurance invoices completely screwed us over. We have one less bathroom ( the main one with shower as well ) along with extensive mold that needs to be removed ASAP. The mortgage company not paying this invoice has delayed everything being fixed even longer because now we need an entire new policy before we can finish filing another claim for the mold. We have XXXX children. Our home isnt safe ( theres concrete instead of flooring on top, mold, a gutted bathroom, etc. ) because of the delayed process from a home insurance lapse. This is completely unacceptable and has caused so much stress for our family. We do our part every month by paying our mortgage we expect them to do their part as well and they have failed us.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I opened up my first credit card with Wells Fargo. For that card, I wasnt able to pay and my account was closed. Then I got a letter in the mail saying I was being charged {$100.00} for that month. I never consented to this or set up those payments to be done. I called and told them if I can cancel and they transferred me to XXXX XXXX XXXX where they told me that those payments have nothing to do with them and to contact Wells Fargo because they cant do anything about that on their end. They said they were just the debt collection agency that Wells Fargo handed over my account. They told me to call them back to work on a settlement when I was done with Wells Fargo charge. Wells Fargo says there is nothing they can do after I told them all this. Months go by and I try to reach out to Wells Fargo to see if this can be resolved. After months of this, I call again and Im more persistent. I keep getting transferred and eventually hung up on. I keep persisting and one Wells Fargo member does admit it is strange and things arent adding up. I told them that if hypothetically I did forget and set up payments, that would not explain why first source says im still in full debt and need to pay them. Wells Fargo wouldnt have given my account to XXXX XXXX if I was paying. And if im still in debt, where is the money going to. I have been with the stress of this situation for months and I have been losing money. A Wells Fargo was able to stop future payments which I asked why that wasnt done for me in the first place when I asked. I then tell them that I want this to be investigated and I believe there is fraud involved. I get to talk to some executive who says I now have a case and there will be an investigation. He did apologize for the stress this has caused me and I will be reimbursed. They just got back to me saying they are not going to reimburse me and my case is closed. I know I didnt set up those payments and they werent going towards my credit card. Money was just lost.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I called Wells Fargo on XX/XX/XXXX to make a credit card payment before my due date using the company 's phone/IVR system . The phone system indicated that my payment was processed, Wells Fargo sent me a letter confirming my transaction and Wells Fargo updated my credit card account online showing that my balance had been paid. I noticed a few days later that my payment had not been processed from my XXXX account. I proactively called Wells Fargo on XX/XX/XXXX to ask why they had not taken my payment. Wells Fargo indicated that my payment failed due to a lack of funds. I did a bridge phone call with XXXX and Wells Fargo and my XXXX agent confirmed to the Wells Fargo agent that my funds were available the entire time. I have attached here proof that enough funds were available in my account the entire time of this issue. The Wells Fargo agent requested my bank account info again and proceeded to process the payment again. I was again provided a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX that my payment transaction was processed. On XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed that Wells Fargo still had not processed my payment from my XXXX account. I again proactively called Wells Fargo and the banker indicated on a recorded line that the XX/XX/XXXX payment attempt had not gone through because the prior Wells Fargo baker had missed a digit in my bank account number. I gave this banker my XXXX account info again and that banker processed my payment. I received another letter from Wells Fargo dated XX/XX/XXXX that my payment had been processed. At no point during this process did Wells Fargo communicate to me that my payments had not been processed successfully or on time. In fact, via written letter and via WellFargos website they indicated to me that my payment had been paid on time. Wells Fargo has assessed an interest charge of {$560.00} to our account. I have filed a formal complaint with the Executive Office of Wells Fargo and they have closed the complaint and left me with this interest charge even though Wells Fargo themselves failed to process the payment correctly. 

I would like the interest charge of {$560.00} to be credited to me. I proactively attempted to make my payment before its due date, I proactively followed up with Wells Fargo to make sure they received my payment on multiple occasions and I had XXXX confirm that funds were available. I have also attached here proof that enough funds were available in my account the entire time of this issue.
