Consumer complaint received 2018-12-05 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
My new holiday tradition is an exasperated phone call to my homeowner 's insurance agent to figure out what 5/3 is up to this time. For multiple consecutive years, 5/3 has not paid my homeowners insurance ( out of escrow ) before the policy expires. I receive no notice of any discrepancy or issue from 5/3, only a cancellation notice from the insurance company. I own 2 homes and I have never had this problem with my other mortgage ( different bank, same insurance company ), so I know the problem is not with the insurance company. In the past, 5/3 has claimed that the Declarations document provided by the insurance company doesn't contain the policy coverage amounts and deductibles, although this ( standard ) Declarations has always been sufficient for my other mortgage provider. I have solved the problem in the past by paying for the policy out-of-pocket and resending the same Declarations document originally provided with a verbal assurance that the amounts are indeed right there on the page. 5/3 then pays the insurance company weeks past the due date, who then refunds the money to me. This year, my insurance company has again notified me of an overdue notice and imminent cancellation. I have again been forced to pay out-of-pocket. As of XX/XX/2018, I have not been able to reach a human operator at 5/3 ( my phone log shows a 22 minute call today -- all of it in computer menus or on hold ).

It is easier to file this complaint than to directly interact and correct a simple issue with 5/3.

In my case, 5/3 has sufficiently demonstrated irresponsible management of mortgage escrow accounts and a consistent unwillingness to perform fundamental tasks associated with them. A quick search of CFPB site yields numerous similar complaints, some with far more serious consequences to the homeowner. It is not unreasonable to wonder how pervasive this behaviour is within the organization. I sincerely want to be dissuaded from escalating this, but just in case, I have begun drafting concurrent complaints for the Ohio Dept. of Commerce and the federal Office of the Comptroller of Currency.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I was unable to make my payments on time for my Capital One credit card due to a job loss. My job ended for a 90 period in XX/XX/2018 due to the rules of the company I was working for. It was intended that I would o back to work in XX/XX/2018. When this happened I informed Capital One that I may have some issues in making my monthly payments but would be back on track and pay any past due amounts as soon as I was back to work. I kept in communication with Capital One the entire time with updates. In XX/XX/2018, I was informed that the job I was slated to go back to was delayed until XX/XX/2018. I informed Capital One. I was informed on XX/XX/2018 that the job I was slated to go back to was no longer available to go back to. I informed Capital One again and even made a {$300.00} payment on XX/XX/2018 to pay all past due amounts and get the account current. I began searching for work and informed Capital One that I would not be able to make monthly payments until I found work. I found work in XX/XX/2018 and paid all past due amounts as well my current XXXX payment with a payment of {$330.00} on XX/XX/2018. I made an additional payment on XX/XX/2018 of {$87.00} to cover my XXXX monthly payment only to find that my credit card was placed in a restricted status by Capital One. I called and spoke to representatives at Capital One beginning on XX/XX/2018 to find out why my card was restricted when I had everything paid up to date and to have the restriction lifted. I was told by Capital One that my card was restricted because back in XX/XX/2018 my account had become 120 days delinquent. When I made the XX/XX/XXXX payment of {$300.00} I was offered a program to have the restriction lifted. The rules of the program were that I would have to make 3 consecutive on time payments to have the restriction lifted. I was NEVER informed of this program or it's rules and was done without my agreement because at that time I didn't have a job and therefore could never commit to making on time payments. I was also informed that this program started in XX/XX/2018. Capital One also informed me that they would not lift the restriction because I was placed in a program and did not adhere to the rules of making 3 consecutive on time payments. The issue is that Capital One refuses to lift the restriction on my credit card because I did not adhere to the rules of a program that I was never notified I was in. They claim they sent me a letter on XX/XX/2018 but the letter was never received by me. They claim that the letter would have also been online when I went to my account and to this day there are no documents online. I am basically being punished for breaking rules of a program I was fraudulently placed in to begin with and that is wrong on all levels.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
There was an unauthorized quick by XXXX done on my Chase Checking account on XX/XX/18, Friday at XXXX XXXX PST for {$1000.00}. Chase could not prove it as fraud so they are charging the amount to my account. I provided them with the IP addresses of the devices that I use for online banking which is from my work station at work ( XXXX, CA ) and at home ( XXXX, CA ). The IP address of that particular transcation showed it was in XXXX XXXX. They still would not not overturn their decision. Their argument is that a new device was added to do that transcation and that a code was sent to my cell phone ( number on the account ) to activate that new device. My argument is that it was on a Friday, a work day, I was at work at that time - how can one be at two places at the same time? 
Please assist me on this matter.
