Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: Community Loan Servicing, LLC (formerly known as Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC)
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Due to us filing previous class action suits request on behalf of ourselves and other consumers like us. Sub Servicer Bayview Loan Servicing purposely targeted us due to our XXXX and filed a foreclosure on our home and dual tracked us while in a current active workout with them. Sub Servicer Bayview Loan Servicing has bullied, harassed and retaliated against us for multiple years and purposefully strung the workout out on a modification agreement with us for a year while we made payments to find out if S.J. 47 would pass or not. Therefore, we are requesting that all of our class action complaints filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Arizona Attorney General be grandfathered. 
S.J. 47 states : " Congress disapproves the rule submitted by the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection relating to Arbitration Agreements " This joint resolution nullifies a rule submitted by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX CFPB XXXX regarding arbitration agreements. 
XXXX The rule regulates the use of arbitration agreements in contracts for specific consumer financial products and services. It prohibits the use of a predispute arbitration agreement to prevent a consumer from filing or participating in certain class action suits. The rule also requires consumer financial product and service providers to furnish the CFPB with particular information regarding arbitrations. ) ''

Company: AES/PHEAA
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
My husband and I are on Income Driven Repayment plans while he is a resident XXXX as we have a partial financial hardship. I am on REPAYE, and he is on PAYE. Our loans are held by XXXX ( PHEAA ). On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, we received a notification to submit annual loan recertification documentation. My husband and I submitted those documents promptly on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. We received emails on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX confirming the receipt of those documents. However, there was no indication in our online portals that these documents were received or that processing had begun. 


I called XXXX at XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and waited 20 minutes on hold. The agent XXXX # XXXX answered and had to transfer me to another department, so again I waited again until XXXX # XXXX answered. He informed me that the application was in manual review and should be finished relatively soon, probably by the end of the week ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ). 


After hearing no updates from XXXX, I called again on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX at XXXXXXXX XXXX. I spoke with XXXX # XXXX who said it would take 30-60 days from XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to process. I informed her that I had called on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and was told that it would be completed last week. 


She transferred me to XXXX who stated she was a supervisor. She reviewed my information and said my application was queued for manual review, but strangely needed to be escalated or expedited, but somehow had not yet been done. She then provided a monthly estimate of {$1000.00} for the payment. I informed her that this was a significant increase and did not appear to include my husband 's loans, which we applied for and cosigned together on XXXX. She said she will try to expedite and we will hear an update by XXXX at the latest. I expressed concern that with my payment plan expiring on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX that this would not be enough time. Given the absence of response on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, I have elected to file this complaint.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
XXXX informed me on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX that my mortgage with them effective XXXX/XXXX/XXXX will be transferred to Nationstar Mortgage XXXX XXXX XXXX known as Mr.Cooper. ) I already had a payment setup with XXXX to pay my mortgage which had a due date of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. XXXX cancelled my payment to them on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, they claim its because on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX they will no longer own the account. This meant that today XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I have a payment due to the new issuer Nationstar. Today I received an email from them welcoming me and pointing me to their website. When I went to their website ( either via the link provided or through searching for it on the internet ) the website seems to either be non-existent or severely broken. Below is 100 % of the text on their website at XXXX : 502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server. 
There is a problem with the page you are looking for, and it can not be displayed. When the Web server ( while acting as a gateway or proxy )  contacted the upstream content server, it received an invalid response from the content server. 

I 've never been late on my mortgage and in fact pay double payments. I can not get anyone on the phone or connected through their website to make a payment. Furthermore I believe its highly inappropriate that XXXX cancelled my payment which was due today on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX which has put me in this frantic mess.

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I call XXXX to report fraud charges on my credit card. I was out of town when this charges occurred. I received a letter dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX, from XXXX, stated : '' Our research has indicated that the transactions are valid ''. I called XXXX and ask why the determination and was told that a chip card was used. I responded that one of the fraud charges was an online purchase that could not be a chip transaction. I had believed that the card was always in my position but this may be false because I also have a second XXXX credit card through my wife 's account, so it the card might have been stolen. The fact the XXXX stated that they where chip transactions are in question because at least one of the charge was an online transaction that could not have involved the use of the chip. 

I never gave anyone my card nor was I in town to make the charges in question.

She has also contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX via a phone number on the letter and requested the same information to which they responded she will receive it in the mail within thirty days.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
For the past 35 years I have had a checking account and fee-based credit card at JP Morgan Chase. About three years ago I was solicited by one of their financial advisors, in the XXXX, Ct. branch to open a Chase Private Client investment account, which I did. No management fees were involved. 
One day in XXXX he informed me that he may be losing my account and that " it was out of his control. '' When I received a call from my new Financial Advisor ( FA ) in a town 40 miles away I called my FA. He NEVER returned my calls to give an explanation for the transfer, which was without my consent. When I finally saw him all he would say is " I am not your F.A. and I do n't have to speak with anymore. '' About three weeks later In about XXXX XXXX I received a notice from JP Morgan informing me to close my checking account within 30 days. Days later I received another notice telling me to close my brokerage account within 60 days. Neither letter gave a reason. 
I have written to the office of the XXXX, XXXX XXXX and to other parts of the bank asking that my checking account be reopened ( BUT NOT my brokerage account ). I have also tried to reopen the account at another branch to no avail. The Compliance Department in Texas appears to be blocking any resolution and nobody will give an explanation. As an aside my former FA has either been fired or abruptly resigned in XXXX XXXX. After being a client for 35 years with an impeccable credit rating ( I still have my credit card there ) this is grossly unfair. I have come to believe that I am the brunt of an emotional problem the FA had who must have concocted a wild exaggerated story for the bank to have done this. All I request is that my checking account be reopened.

Issue: Problem with customer service — 
Company: Coinbase, Inc.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I've had a hold put on my account for nearly a month now, and have not been able to buy, sell, or withdraw money from my account on Coinbase. Up until this most recent ID verification at coinbase.com/ssn, I have been able to easily verify my identity; and now that this latest verification is not working, my account is essentially frozen- no buys, sells, or withdrawals, even if I try to permanently delete my account. I've contacted customer support several times. I have about $350 worth of bitcoin that I would like to sell, and over $5k in my USD wallet that I need to withdraw.First (XX/XX/XXXX) and second (XX/XX/XXXX) times:They emailed me a pre-generated list of common reasons the SSN verification may not work. Most of these related to address technicalities, but one of them was this:"There may just not be enough information on record to sufficiently verify your identity at this time. This usually affects our younger customers more often. Unfortunately, there’s not much to be done in these cases but to continue trying the quiz, possibly with some variations of the information to be sure it’s not just an address issue."Since I've ensured that the information is exactly as it appears on the credit report, it appears that this is the reason why: that I am too young and do not have enough of a credit history to verify. Then why allow customers to deposit money into their account if for some it will just get frozen? Why wasn't the SSN verification required upfront?Third time (XX/XX/XXXX)After calling several times and trying to get past the (at least) 20 minute wait time, I was finally put on with a customer service rep who in fairness did try to be helpful. He linked me to two pages that he said usually resolve the issue. But in my case they did not. He said if I replied to his email in the case that the issue was not resolved, he would escalate it to a specialist. This was almost a week ago. I emailed and called again a few days later: no response to email, but over phone they said that once it's escalated to a specialist, there's nothing to do but wait. I suspect I will be waiting a long time.Tried calling back today (XX/XX/XXXX) to check on the situation, and a recording said they are receiving a high volume of calls and will not be able to help, and to try again later.It can't be legal to take customers money and freeze it after requiring a verification that is impossible for some customers. And then on top of that, they have an obviously inadequate customer service department and just hope that customers will be able to resolve questions with a stock FAQ reply. It's bad practice, and I know I'm not the only one suffering as a result of it.
