Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: BB&T CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My husband and I purchased our home in XXXX 2013 and our mortgage servicing was transferred to BB & T. BB & T has been completely negligent in how they have handled our escrow account and our loan servicing, in general, and has cost us an immense amount of time as a result. They applied a payment incorrectly, only to re-allocate it when we received a collections call and disputed the alleged missed payment. They have also mismanaged our escrow account and, as a result, we believe that they have not given the full refund required under RESPA. They have overstated the premium paid for flood insurance despite our providing them with notice of the error in their records. BB & T has also made a practice of harassing us for alleged insufficient insurance coverage, even though our insurance coverage has always exceeded the XXXX of our loan as well as our property value. After spending countless hours on the phone they finally advised us that BB & T has an undisclosed policy that homeowners ' and flood insurance coverage amounts match exactly. We have corrected the difference and BB & T is still harassing us with letters claiming that we have insufficient flood coverage and threatening to purchase force placed insurance.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I got my loan through a company that sold me a 'Nothing Down and high credit not needed loan. I signed for a XXXX Arm loan with XXXX interest rate. The payments were at {$600.00} a month with no escrow. At that time, I was able to afford this. I fell behind when I and my husband split up. We reconciled and have been trying to get a modification since. I was transferred to XXXX XXXX XXXX and tried over and over again to get a modification. I signed up with XXXX and went to several events and due to another transfer was not able to get a medication. I 've tried and send in docs and docs to Nationstar and still have not been able to get anything done. Nationstar told me that I refused a prior modification and was not able to get a HAMP modification because of it. I 've never signed any docs to any modification. They offered me a trial modification at a 3 % interest rate. I was okay with that modification but they messed up on the maturity date. I called over and over for a year until finally I received another offer. This modification was for 7 % and $ 1600+ a month for a payment. This was way too high of a payment for us to afford. I notified Nationstar that my husband 's work decreased due to the oil and gas industry. I sent in new check stubs to show them the decrease in income. They told me this was the only thing they could offer me or I could do sell my house, do a Short Sale, a Deed In Lieu or just foreclose. I then contacted XXXX again to exhaust all my options. I have been getting numerous calls from Nationstar for me to make a decision. I told them that I am working with XXXX and they advised me that XXXX could not do anything to change their decision. They told me XXXX go with the decision the mortgage company decides. I talked to XXXX XXXX with XXXX and told her my story. I finally have some hope with getting a modification. She advised me that they would do everything they could to help me get a modification and stay in my home. So, I 'm writing to file a complaint against Nationstar. I think they have the power to lower my monthly payment and it be beneficial for us and them..

Complaint narrative:
From : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX To : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Wednesday, XXXX XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX RE : NationStar Mortgage XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX XXXX Lender / payment To Whom It May Concern : Mortgage Account Number : XXXX I wish to raise an official complaint in respect of NationStar 's treatment of my mortgage account on the basis that I do not believe that I have been treated fairly. 
My understanding of the basis of this mortgage was that the rate would only ever vary when the base rate changed and when there is a need explaining always on phone it is about escrow and if I need to complaint go to my california representatives. In XX/XX/XXXX NationStar buys or takeover my mortgage from XXXX and a month later they increased my monthly payment from XXXX to XXXX. This problem referred from the long silence they have when I try to communicate with them. They now seem to be telling me that they are able to adjust the tracker rate margin to XX/XX/XXXX. Had I known about this I would have chosen another mortgage product/lender since XXXX promised me something. 
I have been misled by both XXXX and NationStarXXXX and every customer service representative I have contact with and do not believe they have held over me some Financial Conduct Authority principles of needing to be clear, fair and not misleading. 
I have also been advised of case law which supports the requirement for important conditions to be made clear and obvious in contracts. That was definitely not the case in the NationStar mortgage documentation which they have sent me none. How many times I requested to a document to explain it to me? The replay always has been they DO NOT ANY RECORD. 
I have no copies to these changes except those computer printouts and then notices that they have been escalating my complaint to you. I understand that I am one of many thousands of affected customers and I will do all that I can to encourage as many as possible to fight NationStar on this issue should they continue to be unreasonable. 
I await your response. 
Your faithfully XXXX

Complaint narrative:
My wife received a piece of mail from Quicken suggesting we refinance our mortgage to a higher rate and extended term. Yes, we could save more on our monthly payment by doing so ; however, I could not find anywhere in the letter where they indicated that this would result in our paying more interest over the life of our loan. And after doing calculations on my own, it looks like it would be XXXX upon XXXX of dollars more. Maybe I 'm overly sensitive at this time due to the buzz around Quicken 's Rocket Mortgage ad during the XXXX XXXX, but I 'm really getting fed up with Quicken 's aggressive marketing tactics that seem to go against Truth In Lending principles.

Complaint narrative:
My income was drastically reduced. I have been trying to short sell the property. The bank has placed an unattainable value on the property of now {$110000.00}. Home has been on the market for 543 days. I can not get an offer at the banks appraised value due to repairs needed. I have had offers in the XXXX range. Since most borrowers in this area are seeking VA, FHA financing, there are no offers being forwarded because the buyers can not make the necessary repairs to secure a mortgage and the mortgage brokers can not obtain a loan due to the necessary repairs. Therefore only cash investors are available to bid on the property. Obviously they will not pay the banks approved price. The bank incidated that they will not take the property back due to the open sewage permit with the county. Since no offer has been forthcoming, the bank has set a sale date of XXXX/XXXX/2016. Please ask them to reconsider their valuation. as no offer can be otained at the current bank approved price. They are forcing foreclosure on the property where this could be avoided.

I am writing regarding Green Trust Payday Loans. I applied for a {$350.00} payday loan on XX/XX/2016. I am XXXX years old and I had extremely high medical and hospital bills based on XXXX and I needed a loan desperately to pay my utilities so that they would not be disconnected. At the time I did not look closely at the very high interest rate and the method of payment.The rate of this loan is 369.64 %. The finance charges are {$1900.00} for the amount financed for {$350.00}. The total I have to pay is {$2200.00}. I am unable to pay that. The company keeps trying to get direct payments from my bank, but I had to put a stop payment on it. When I get on my feet. I asked them if I could set up a payment plan. That will also be a financial struggle. Is it legal for a payday loan company to charge this much? I have seen reviews and complaints on this company from many people who are appalled at this company as I am. They have taken money from accounts that are not authorized. Please help!

Complaint narrative:
I believe that Executives and Branch representatives at Branch Bank and Trust XXXX XXXX XXXX misled me into opening business accounts with account service fee structure.that they then immediately changed in order to charge more fees. Account executives knew the changes were occurring at the end of 2016 but did not properly notify account holders. Statement " notices '' were inadequate considering most customers do not access statements in online banking web sites and instead look at screen transactions. Proper disclosures were NOT made for online customers and I believe the bank is guilty of violation of UDAP, since they misled me personally into a price structure that they knew would change to the very one that I had rejected with another bank. When I called my " personal banker '' to question the fees in XXXX she said that the fees were overdraft fees ( which was incorrect ). Since she misrepresented the fee this caused another month 's worth of Service fees to be charged to all of my accounts. She did not disclose the new fee structure when I complained and said that she could not waive fees ; that the " corporation office '' was free to change fees without notice. It is hard to believe that BB & T executives did not know that they would catch many unsuspecting business account owners by surprise and create a big spike in their fee revenue for the year! I believe that banks in general, and BB & T in particular, create artificially low " come on '' fee structures to get customers to change banks, then change the terms without proper notice. Since it takes so long ( 4-6 months ) to change business bank accounts banks should be required to give PROPER legal notice AND sufficient time period for customers to change banks before they levy fees. They should also be required to disclose new " substantial '' fee changes and increases in multiple forms ( customer email and online banking notices and/or emails ). I believe this is a well designed plan to rip off consumers and small business owners and implore you to open a class action complaint and fines against this flagrant violator.

Discovery card, reported on their system history of late payment to XXXX. When I called and questions due to always paying on time, and sometime making several payments in the same month. They stated that based on their system, every payment gets added to the same month not to forward amounts. Which we understand, but do not understand why they they will say we are late .... They say this is something in their system, but not in the credit bearues. My concern is, through their systems, is creating false information of our credit or payment history with them. Because we are paying on time and have done so. So I do not find it fair or correct, if I have never paid late ... Why it should reflect in their system as such ... 
which this action caused my credit to decrease during a home purchase ... Which disqualified me from being able to purchase the property ... ..

does is make any sense for me to keep making complaints, to a company to complete my short sale if I were not sending what was ask for to complete it. and why would I not what them to complete it, why would the realtor not provide all the document 's to complete, the purchase for her buyer for over 8 months, should make you wonder what SPS has been doing with all the document 's, if these short sale review was only just started I can see the request for additional document 's still being asked for over 8 months???
