Company: GUARANTEED RATE INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, we heard about a TV commercial to offer the low rate for refinancing. The commercial stated that how easy to apply for home loan online and get a guaranteed interest rate instantly. The commercial does not say anything about the company 's eligibility requirements such as XXXX credit score, XXXX % debt-to-income ratio and XXXX % loan-to-value ratio. If I had known these requirements, I would never have called them or applied for loan. 
My representative spoke with a Mortgage Specialist of the lender. I was asked to complete an application online. I encountered a system error message and my submission aborted abnormally. I did n't have an opportunity to verify data entered online. We also did not receive a Loan Summary for reviewing the payment and costs associated with the loan. 
On the same day ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ), the Mortgage Specialist received my credit reports from the XXXX major Credit Reporting Agencies. 
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, the Mortgage Specialist sent an email asking for my XXXX & XXXX Personal and Business Tax Returns ( All Pages ) to determine the exact income. However, due to the system error and the company 's failure to send the Loan Summary containing the payment and costs associated with the loan, we did not feel comfortable in sending the tax returns and going forward with the application. We withdrew my application for refinancing. 
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, we sent an email to the Mortgage Specialist notifying our withdrawal of the application. 
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, the Mortgage Specialist notified us that the loan was denied due to high debt-to-income ratio. He made this decision without my Tax Returns and using an incomplete application. 
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, we notified the Mortgage Specialist that I did not send my Tax returns as he requested ; the online application was incomplete ; he did not have my exact income ; and the application was withdrawn. We asked him why he sent the denial letter after the application was withdrawn. Was his intention to destroy the creditability of an applicant when the application was withdrawn? We requested him to cancel his denial letter. He has refused to cancel the denial letter. We wished to bring this to his management 's attention for early resolution. But, he refused to provide the name of his supervisor also. He informed us that we will receive no further communication from him or his company.

Complaint narrative:
GC Service tacked on {$6000.00} in fees. I feel these added charges are unfair and they make it hard for you too pay your loan over time. I Asked them where the extra fees came from and no one could give me a clear reason. The gentleman I spoke with said it could be some kind of service charge but he was n't sure either. I understand that my loans have to be paid back but it 's not ok to make some pay all these unknown extra fees. I 'm now going through garnishment of wages which is % 15. If I going to pay it back it must be for the right amount.

Complaint narrative:
I have a past due account with Tower Loan. My husband and I unfortunately had to make the decision to file a Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy. We retained a lawyer and I informed a woman from Tower Loan, ( I believe her name may have been XXXX? ) that we were filing. She became very nasty and rude with me, I just responded with my attorneys name and number. Instead of calling and verifying the information I gave her, this office just has continued to hound me and my husband. They have now resorted to calling our references. For what reason? They know we are filing bankruptcy, the only reason why they would keep calling us is to harass us. AND the only single reason they would call our references is to embarrass us. These are repetitious phone calls that are just intended to annoy, abuse, or harass me and my husband.

Complaint narrative:
I recieved a call from an associate who identified himself only as XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX, who did not state what collection company he was calling from. XXXX told me there is an unsettled debt for $ 3000.00+ for an apartment eviction from XX/XX/XXXX. I requested documentation to be sent, and was told no because it would cost him {$2.00} or {$3.00} to send and that I dont need proof of something I owe. After telling XXXX I did not have availale funds and that I felt the call may have been fraudulent the call was ended. On that following Friday, XXXX called back and while still not advising who he is employed by, he informed me he sent my account through for garnishments because I would not make a payment. After several calls, I was then transferred to work with an XXXX named XXXX. XXXX told me he would stop the garnishment order if I agreed to pay him a minimum of 12 % of my take home pay. He would not negotiate, and did not ask what my monthly expenses are. I was sent an agreement form to return to XXXX by XXXX/XXXX/XX/XX/XXXX with a monthly payment of {$250.00}, and if i dont, he threated a lawsuit against me and garnishments. I found the company to be US Collections West in XXXX, Az and find the collection tactics to be forceful, misleading, and predatory. I have been mistreated and disrespected by this agency, and being forced to pay an amount which will cause a hardship.

Company: CNG FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Several years ago, approximately 2012, I took out a payday loan to help cope with a medical emergency. I had made payments for several months. I believe I repaid at least the amount borrowed or came fairly close. Regrettably due to the continued medical issue and resulting limitations on work, I was unable to continue paying the loan. Subsequently, My family in XXXX and XXXX were contacted by a collection agency regarding the debt. At XXXX point, my brother in XXXX had his dog threatened by the collection agency. My niece in XXXX was called countless times. She reports that the collection agency threatened to take her home. They cussed at me and left messages with cursing actions. To be honest, I am not sure if they actually threatened law suits because the language became quite escalated. I remember leaving with the distinct impression that they were discussing a legal liability. My bigger concern however is the threats to my family and the abusive language. In order to get them to leave my family alone, I contacted the agency and set up a payment arrangement. At this point I contacted a financial counselor who cautioned me that this loan may be of questionable legal standing in XXXX. Consequently I postponed payment and requested information from the agency regarding the debt. They denied that they had to provide any paperwork about the situation. I contacted the original creditor and they told me to contact the collection agency. I attempted to request the mailing address for the collection agency and they refused to provide the information. I called back with my financial counselor and they also refused to provide any of the information we requested. Even the company name was not disclosed. They may be XXXX XXXX or they may be collecting for XXXX XXXX. They identified themselves as XXXX but would not clarify if they were a department of XXXX or a separate company. It was at this point that I reached out to the CFPB.
