Product: Bank account or service — Checking account
Issue: Account opening, closing, or management — 
Company: BB&T CORPORATION
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is about Susquehanna Bank. On XXXX XXXX, I opened a checking account with Susquehanna. At that time, I DID order checks, as is usually the case when opening a new account. Ten days later and AFTER emailing the branch manager ( who did open and receive the emails ) I learned that the checks had never been ordered. I called the branch manager who did not return my calls. I called the region manager who failed to return my calls or emails and who could not be found by her staff. I called the VP of retail operations and he said that he would take care of it. Then he called back and said that he was closing my account immediately on XXXX XXXX. He claimed that I had worked my way up the chain of command and he did not accept that. 

I expect the account to be reopened, checks to be sent to me and my debit card to be reactivated. I should note that my SSA deposit is due to be made on XXXX XXXX and the account must be open to accept it. The Retail operations VP ( XXXX ) refused. I have had to pay an attorney to contact The banks general counsel who failed to respond to his calls and emails. I also contacted the President, XXXX XXXX and his superiors at BB & T which is acquiring the bank. No response I should note that I am XXXX under the ADA.

Complaint narrative:
I 've received a letter from this company, claiming I have an account with them or I them you something. I have never entered into any business arrangement and I have never signed any contract to conduct any kind of business with them. Also, because they are a 3rd party collector, they have no permission to furnish any information on my credit report. 

Furthermore, the debt that they are trying to collect has been a result of identity theft. 

I do not owe this company anything and I want them to close my 'account ' with them immediately.

Complaint narrative:
This property has sat unoccupied and without maintenance by the Owner/Property Manager for over two years. The Association has had to take over landscape maintenance and spend countless hours trying to contact the property manager asking them to maintain the property to little/no avail. The Association has incurred a staggering dollar amount of fees as the result of the lack of maintenance on this property which likely we will not recoup. Surrounding properties have filed multiple complaints with us as well as the property management company. Surrounding property owners have also stated that the lack of upkeep of this property has negatively impacted the value of their property.

Complaint narrative:
Nationstar was negotiating a HAFA short sale with us. We received a full price offer and were waiting on XXXX tasks to complete as well as their investor approval. Nationstar failed to request the trustee sale postponement and it went to foreclosure without our knowledge last month. We are STILL processing a short sale with them even today! Agents will lose their commission after working for 4 months on this file, sellers lose relocation funds, buyers lose their new home! This should have NEVER gone to foreclosure!

Company: McCarthy, Burgess & Wolff, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I have a XXXX XXXX account with my XXXX XXXX children, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, and my husband XXXX. We are all authorized to use this phone account to get a new phone when necessary or have a phone fixed. If they were n't authorized they would have to have XXXX call each time they need to do something with their phone for permission from me the head person on the account. My daughter, XXXX bought an Ipad on a XXXX account she set up with XXXX. I knew nothing about this account until I tried to buy a car and did n't qualify for a low interest rate because of a default loan from XXXX. I came home and called XXXX to ask about this item on my credit score thinking it must be a mistake. At this time I did n't know it was XXXX that had set up this account. XXXX told me that they could n't talk to me about this purchase because it had been turned over to a collection agency and I 'd have to wait to hear from them. This happened XX/XX/2015. The collection agency of McCarthy, Burgess and Wolff called me XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX about this loan. This is when I found out it was my daughter that had defaulted on the loan. I have never received anything in writing from either XXXX or the credit collection agency. XXXX never sent me a bill and the purchase amount never showed up on our XXXX phone bill. I still have nothing in writing from the collection agency even though I have asked and they have said they would sent a letter explaining. McCarthy, Burgess and Wolff said they would go back to XXXX for us, then called back and said they had received a response from XXXX and I never saw that information either. I was just told to pay the bill. We have no proof that who called us or who we call is this collection agency. I still do n't know how much the Ipad cost or what else is on the bill. I was told that there is an XXXX % collection fee. How can I be harrassed and responsible for this bill when I have never seen a bill or even what exactly I would be paying for if I paid this bill? 

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Complaint narrative:
This is the second time having an issue with this company on improperly stating or threatening me. I once again received a call from XXXX who does n't seem to understand debt collection laws or how to do her job. She first stated she was calling to collect on the same debt I was already disputing. She stated she sent over a ledger from the school verifying the debt. I did state I received that but it still did n't make sense. XXXX college is claiming they sent money back to the government from a student loan. I called XXXX who is servicing the loan and they stated no money was returned and also send me over a ledger to show this. I explained all this to XXXX who then stated " OK if this is how you want to handle it we will take care of you '' my response was did you just threaten me? her response was '' we will be sueing you '' first of all she is threatening to sue me for something they have yet to prove is valid and also breaking the fair debt collection law my threatening me.

Complaint narrative:
NationStar has repeatedly made erroneous charges to our mortgage account, continue to bill us for tax and insurance escrow though we pay our taxes and insurance directly to providers/county and they have reported inaccurate information to the credit bureaus ( ie. stating our account was discharged with a bankruptcy when it was not, showed our account paid in full when it is not and then ultimately deleted the reported account entirely rather than correcting it when a dispute was filed ). NationStar 's practices seem predatory and their telephone staff spend an enormous amount of time transferring us with no resolution to issues.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
We applied for a loan modification with NationStar Mortgage. The bank denied our modification request, but did not finish the denial properly. We requested supporting documents, and the Bank said they had until XXXX XXXX to reply to us. Despite our requests for the supporting documentation, and frequent follow-up, with no response from our S.P.O.C, the bank went ahead and set a Trustee Sale Date for XXXX XXXX. XX/XX/2014On the bank 's original denial letter, they offered us a " short sale option '' which we wanted to go forward with. The bank gave us specific and lengthy information on the short sale process The bank went so far as to send us the paperwork to fill out and provide us with an email address to return the short sale documents to. We completed the requested documents on the day we received them, and returned them to the bank via their specific instructions that day. 

When we followed up with the bank today, they said it was the wrong paper work, and it was sent to the wrong department. Moreover, they are now claiming that there are no options available to short sell our home. The servicer should at least honor their written and spoken word and allow us to short sale the property.

Complaint narrative:
We represent XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a foreclosure. While we represent XXXX XXXX in his foreclosure, he has been attempting to modify his loan and has had a complete package submitted with the lender for over a year. The lender has come up with every excuse not to properly review XXXX XXXX and has now refused to even ask the Court to continue a trial, in which the Plaintiff is seeking to obtain a judgment against XXXX XXXX in complete and utter disregard for 12 CFR 1024.41 ( g ) ( " a servicer shall not move for foreclosure judgment '' ). Recently, notwithstanding a review which has been going on for over 18 months, with updated documents being sent every time they are requested, SPS requested a XXXX to be submitted. This is one of the first documents required, so their requesting this document over a year into the review is a bit shocking. Nonetheless, on XXXX XXXX, 2016 the document was faxed to SPS. 
SPS has completely disregarded the requirements that the CFPB specifically enacted to deter behavior such as the behavior of SPS regarding this modification " non '' -review. 
Below is a brief background over the last few months ... 
1. After being in review for a modification for over 18 months, on or about XXXX XXXX, 2016, SPS requested a copy of the Defendants ' profit and loss statements, and the documents were sent within ten days of the request. 
2. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, SPS acknowledged receipt of a complete application to review the Defendants. 
3. Notwithstanding SPS acknowledging a complete package eleven days prior, on XXXX XXXX, 2016, a new request for information was sent by SPS. 
4. As XXXX has done for over eighteen ( 18 ) months, the Defendants immediately complied with the request and the responsive documents were immediately sent to SPS. 
4. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, Plaintiff 's counsel advised that a checkbox on the XXXX was incorrect. While this is one of the first documents SPS should have reviewed several months ago, they shockingly requested this document be corrected less than 35 days after acknowledging a complete package. 
5. Nonetheless, as the Defendants have done for several months, upon receipt of this newly requested information, Defendants submitted the information to SPS. 
6. Additionally, on XXXX XXXX, 2016, SPS confirmed a complete package.

Complaint narrative:
My complaint regards the servicing of a second mortgage held by Nationstar Mortgage. The XXXX Modification of my XXXX Mortgage was amended by the original servicer, XXXX Mortgage, which reduced my 'interest rate cap ' from 5.25 % to 4.75 %. When the XXXX Mortgage was sold to XXXX they used the old rate cap of 5.25 %. I was able to have this matter rectified with your help on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, Case # XXXX ( Page # XXXX Final Resolution Letter ). My current problem is that the Second Mortgage serviced by Nationstar is using the old rate cap of 5.25 % and not the amended rate of 4.75 %. I have been corresponding with Nationstar since XXXX XXXX and have only received copies of the XXXX modification. In the XXXX modification, it clearly states that the rate cap of the XXXX modification must reflect the rate in the XXXX modification. I have documentation for all of the statements that I have made. Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Complaint narrative:
My issue with Nationstar pertains to a 30 day late payment incurred on my mortgage for a missed payment for XXXX 2014. The late was caused by me being defrauded by a man named XXXX XXXX, posing as a licensed mortgage professional to refinance my home, who ended up stealing over {$4000.00} from me. He insisted that I not make my XXXX 2014 payment to Nationstar as the new loan at a 2.99 % 30 year fixed rate was going to close and funds would be on their way ( See attachment ). When Nationstar called me, I let him know that I was going to make the payment ; he insisted that he had later spoken to Nationstar and all had been resolved and a check was on its way to them. Finally when nationstar called me and told me no check was received I quickly made the payment. At that time I became suspicious and started to investigate the matter to find that there was no such refi loan in process I then discovered the individual was a convicted felon who had a history of defrauding people and had his Real Estate license revoked and had a cease and desist order against him from the Dept of Real Estate ( See Exhibit B ) He defrauded me by getting all my bank information and in addition to charging me for loan fees for this non-existent loan, he ended up using my bank account funds fraudulently and ran {$4300.00} worth of fraudulent charges. 

The XXXX XXXX County Deputy District Attorney 's office has also confirmed that XXXX XXXX XXXX has defrauded another XXXX people, for which they DA 's office is taking legal action against him ( see attachment ). As the DA 's office also suggested I also filed a law suit against XXXX XXXX, and got a court ruling against him ( see attachment ) The XXXX XXXX County District Attorney Special Investigations Operations Dept also took legal action against XXXX XXXX XXXX and arrested him. 

I also forwarded Nationstar my XXXX XXXX bank statements which showed that I had over {$35000.00} in my account at the time, which were more than sufficient funds to make the mortgage payment The late payment incurred on my Nationstar loan due to this issue was due to the fact that I was misled and defrauded. Earlier this year I brought this issue with Nationstar to remove the late payment and even sought the help of the CPFB. Nationstar however refused to remove the late payment and in turn to hurt my credit even more than legally permissible put a fresh new late payment on my credit report for XXXX 2014, whereas before this issue was brought up they were only reporting a XXXX 2014 late payment.

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX, I am the widow of XXXX XXXX and the executor of his estate and legal heir to this property as ruled in the state court of Montana. I am embroiled in a conflict with my mortgage servicer Nationstar, who has obstructed my attempts at modification and resolution of my loan by continually questioning my rights as the legal heir and forcing me to provide the same documents over and over again. As a result of these games that Nationstar is playing, my home went up for a foreclosure sale. I am a widow living on fixed income and taking care of my XXXX year old son. This is not right!! 

My husband and I purchased this home 9 years ago. He was the breadwinner while I stayed home to take care of my XXXX son. My husband ( the listed borrower XXXX XXXX ) passed away in 2012. I was named the executor of the estate and the rightful heir and have all of the necessary court documentation to prove this. I assumed the mortgage and continued making the mortgage payment as agreed for nearly two more years. However, as a widowed mother on fixed income I did not have any type of safety net and when I had a major plumbing emergency due to the main water valve pipe breaking I was in big trouble. I had to take care of this and the out of pocket costs were nearly {$3500.00}. Due to this emergency I started sinking financially and eventually missed my mortgage payment and desperately tried to figure a way out of my financial hole. I contacted Nationstar but they were not helpful at all. I was not even aware that there were programs available to help homeowners until I saw a commercial on TV about the Obama HAMP program. 

After learning of this program I contacted Nationstar again, and NOW their agents admitted there were options for help. I sent all of my information in for review and tried repeatedly to follow up and get updates. However, at every step of the way Nationstar obstructed the process -- I was continually grilled about the ownership of the home, about the survivorship and executor of the estate paperwork etc. I sent these papers in at least 4 different times but Nationstar seemed to lose the papers every time. I was never able to get anywhere with Nationstar. Instead of working with me Nationstar tried to auction off the house.
