Product: Credit card — 
Issue: Closing/Cancelling account — 
Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
The purpose for my complaint today is because I have tried to log in to my lowes account online and it is not allowing me to log in. I called in and spoke to a representative in the fraud department whom then sent me a code to my home phone number and verified that it is me. She proceeded to tell me that my account was triggered due to my recent address change. She then explained further that some aspect of the account sent my account for management review and that there is nobody that I can speak to call back in 1 week. I find this situation to be ludicrous due to me being a lowes credit card customer since XXXX of 2014. I have never been late on my account and have not gone near my credit limit. I proceeded to ask for a corporate number and was told there is no such number.

Company: M.A.R.S., Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Tried to call company and ask for information about debt. Caller took down my information and explained to me the debt which was fine. Then I started asking credit information as far as will it be removed from my credit report once it is paid. She told me that they made several attempts for me to pay the debt and I would not so therefore they are not going to take it off my credit report even after I pay it. I told her, I never heard of that, usually if you pay it they will take it off your credit report unless it is public records. She said I need to do my research, got mad at me for disputing what she told me and hung up on me. So I called back to try and talk to another rep. I explained to her what had just happened and she was being just as rude and told me the reason why she hung up on me is because They Are Busy. I told her they are rude and do not worry about it and I hung up. Then I called back just to get the company name.

Company: Innovis

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter from Innovis Consumer Assistance stating that they received a report in the last 12 months that has added negative information to my file or that contains 8 or more credit inquiries. 

I have n't had any new credit checks and I monitor my credit score regularly. Their letter also states I can obtain a copy of my consumer file. I do n't want to give this unknown, seemingly untrustworthy agency my private information based on a false claim about my credit report. I believe they are phishing and so do a ton of other people who have received similar letters.

Complaint narrative:
Currently have a HAMP mortgage with Di-Tech Financial, LLC. ( Acct. # XXXX XXXX Di-Tech so far has only processed and paid {$1000.00} of the promised HAMP incentives of {$10000.00}. ( XXXX {$1000.00} payments and XXXX {$5000.00} payment on the XXXX Anniv..date of the HAMP modification. ( XXXX. XXXX ) I believe this is due in part to Di-Tech 's failure to timely submit the required documents to the US Dept. of the Treasury. 
XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Di_tech informing me I needed to return the Dodd Frank Certification Letter to apply for the one time principal balance reduction of {$5000.00}. I uploaded the Form XXXX and a Quit claim deed from my Ex-Wife on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Since the XXXX form required both buyer and co-buyer signatures. 
I then contacted Di-Tech Customer Service to inquire about the need for my Ex-Wife to sign the XXXX Form. At first, they stated they had all documentation that was needed. Later I called again after not receiving any confirmation. I was transferred to Di-Techs Loss Mitigation Admin. that told me they did not have the documents needed.. On XXXX XXXX, I uploaded my Final Judgement and Decree Of Divorce as proof my ex and I Divorced in XXXX. The {$5000.00} was supposed to be posted to my account in XXXX XXXX. I have called Di-Tech 's Customer Service many times and asked if they had enough Documentation to proceed and submit to the US Dept. of the Treasury. 

In my latest conversation with Di-Tech CS, I talked to XXXX XXXX from XXXX Fl. about the situation. She located all uploaded documents but did not know why they have n't been submitted to the proper agency for processing. She also explained that there where supposed to be XXXX ( XXXX ) {$1000.00} payments and the {$5000.00} payment as part of the HAMP incentives. .. According to my account payment History, only XXXX ( XXXX ) {$1000.00} payment was made on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. So ( XXXX ) {$1000.00} & the one time {$5000.00} payment remain to be paid. 
Please see the XXXX supporting documents that have been uploaded.

Complaint narrative:
My issue is with Green Tree when I was having problems paying my mortgage. I have had issues with them repeatedly threatening me regarding my mortgage payments. Call me at all hours of the day, every hour. They took money from my bank account, when not authorized to do so ( I filed fraud charges with the bank and it was corrected ). They have forced me to pay the XXXX processing fee-in order to keep my house, many times over. They have refused to listen to me, or work with me in any way, called me a liar and threatened to evict me. 
I filed bankruptcy when my loan was still with XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I reaffirmed my mortgage at that time, they refuse to believe that, and have told threatened to evict me if I am 30 days late. They tell me I have to go back to my lawyer or the courts and get new paperwork for them ( it has been 4 yrs since filing ). They refuse to report my payments to the credit bureau, so my credit report shows this account is closed under chapter XXXX-when I am and have been making payments all along.

In the third phone call I have received by the company within 24 hours, I was threatened to be taken to court, the representative XXXX XXXX exclaimed that " as a XXXX, I should pay my bills. '' She proceeded to tell me that I would have someone come to my job and or home to collect the debt from me. The first representative I spoke to said they were not trying to resolve anything, they were simply taking me to court, which I have yet to receive a summons for. The issue I continued to address with the parties is that the debt is not on my credit report and I have no one of validating the debt beyond what they were saying.

Complaint narrative:
We requested to Green Tree Servicing to terminate PMI on our mortgage on XXXX XXXX because we have paid over 70 % out of the principle and PMI should be terminated immediately. The customer service told us that we have to do appraisal and we have to responsible cost of that to process any further on PMI request. As we do research the PMI should be automatically terminated after you paid over 22 % of the principle. Green Tree Servicing is trying to keep us paying on PMI which is technically illegal and they refuse on the process if we do n't do and pay for the appraisal first.

Company: Commonwealth Financial Systems, Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Found company Commonwealth Financial Systems , Inc. has a continued open case against me in the amount of {$470.00}. The incident the debt is referencing is an amount owed to a hospital. At the time, insurance had been incorrect and, once corrected, the debt was removed ; however, as of XXXX XXXX, 2015 this institution is still showing the debt as active. 

When calling CFSI, they told me the debt had been closed out. Furthermore, they added uncertainly, they " possibly '' sold to another third party, even providing me with a case # XXXX for this new agency, XXXX. 

Upon calling XXXX and providing the case number, they said the case had also been closed and " possibly '' re-directed me to XXXX with a new case # XXXX. This proved to be wholly inaccurate with XXXX, as they had neither my information, that case, nor any debt of mine. 

As far as I can tell, CFSI is playing a shell game with a debt of mine that 's long-since been resolved. Bottom-line, if the case has been resolved with this company, then why it the open case listed under their agency? This is either a case of neglect or fraud. I am in the process of getting all of their paperwork involving the acquisition of the debt and anything proving that the debt has been closed with CFSI ; however, in the mean time, this unnecessary act of neglect on their part has cause my credit to suffer.
