Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am formally complaining against PHH Mortgage Corporation of XXXX XXXX XXXX, NJ. PHH is my loan servicer, and I have received horrible customer service from their Relationship Management team and their XXXX XXXX Department. I've attached XXXX separate transcriptions of the emails I've sent back and forth with PHH, where I am trying to speak with someone knowledgeable -- not standard customer service representatives in a remote call center who can't answer more nuanced questions -- about PMI removal and the Appraisal I have requested. I began this process in early to XXXX, and it is now early to XXXX, and I have not spoken with my account manager. 
Today, I had an appointment window from XXXX - XXXX XXXX for the relationship XXXX to call me -- which was confirmed multiple times via email, as you'll see. The relationship XXXX did not call me, I have not been contacted by phone today. My alternative dates to set an appointment were also, apparently, unavailable. 
I have XXXX, maybe XXXX fair and straightforward questions that I would like to ask of a " person in the know '' at PHH regarding the most expensive financial obligation to my name -- my home mortgage. As of today at XXXX, I have still not been able to ask these questions and receive fair, knowledge-backed answers. 
I have asked repeatedly for PHH to elevate my case in hopes that I would finally be put in contact with someone who has authority in the mortgage servicing realm. To-date, this has simply not happened, and I've been given the run around. 
Mortgage servicing does not allow for consumers to make choices and changes with their financial matters and who handles them. My mortgage was sold ( no less than XXXX times ) by my mortgage originator, therefore I had no say, no choice in who now services the most expensive thing I own. If I received this abhorrent customer from service my bank or my financial planner or a consumer goods provider, I would have already walked away. I simply can't do anything about this situation except to file this complaint and hope that it breaks through to someone who I can be in contact with to answer my reasonable questions. The federal government, and maybe even the leadership at PHH, should be aware of just how unprofessional their customer service smoke-in-mirrors act is. 
The attached email chains contain further details to illustrate the communications and unacceptable service I've received from my servicer.

Company: REGIONS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
This communication is to inform you of the fraudulent activity at Regions Bank that occurred through XXXX Banking. On XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered that {$90000.00} was pending to be taken from an account of an organization within my banking profile. {$78000.00} had been transferred from my Money Market account leaving {$150.00} and combined with {$12000.00} from the organizations account. On XX/XX/XXXX, {$90000.00} was taken out of the bank. When I checked with the bank and the Fraud Department, I was told that it was a wire transfer and there was nothing they could do. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, {$700.00} was transferred from my XXXX Account to the XXXX XXXX Account. A letter was written by Regions Bank XXXX Department, on XX/XX/XXXX, stating that an investigation was done, and provisional credit ( {$700.00} ) would be provided to my account. Another letter was received that same day stating that based on the investigation, they determined not to provide any credit to my account for the transactions. The letter stated that the {$78000.00} was transferred to another account that I also own. None of these transfers were made by me. 
A letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, was received when I came back from XXXX holidays stating that the investigation had been completed. Based on the investigation, we determined not to provide any credit to my account for the transaction. This determination was based on the following findings : WIRE TRANSFER XX/XX/XXXX {$90000.00} Transactions were authorized using agreed upon security procedures. 

Shouldnt someone be able to tell me where the transfers originated, what security procedures were agreed upon, and where the money was transferred to. I couldnt get any answers. I have trusted my money in the same bank since XXXX even through the many name changes. Now this! They are making it look like I took my own money and wire transferred it to someone. This is identity theft and felonious activity. 
Upon receiving the rejection letter, I reached out to the number indicated on the letter. On Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke to XXXX who informed me that he did not agree with the denial, and he was escalating the matter to his XXXX, XXXX. Once I spoke to XXXX, she reached out to the initial department that made the denial and that person refused to speak with XXXX. The only resolution is to return the funds back to my account as I have not authorized the wire transfer. My attorney has contacted the media and there will be a story aired soon about this event.
