Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a letter to the cash store relinquishing their rights for automatic payments. On XX/XX/XXXX they withdrew funds from my account causing my chase account to overdraft. Chase credited my account and said they filed a claim. Then 2 days later they took the payment out of my account again and assessed me 3 overdraft fees. When I called, a claim had never been filed and they asked that I fax in the documents and they would recredit my account. When I did that, I continue to call and they say they have n't received the documents and my account still has the charge on it. They refuse to credit my money back until the documents have been received. According to the eft act I have total rights to relinquish their right to auto withdraw funds, the notice was given over 3 days before verbally and through a written and signed document but chase still refuses to credit my account and is giving me a run around.

Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
We believe to have been victims of predatory, discriminatory and almost fraudulent treatment from Wells Fargo on a loan we received for {$89.00}, XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. To start it was not a lone we asked for, but one they called on to offer, as we were excellent customers with a great record, once we accepted the loan the bank officer only wanted to work with my wife because " the paperwork was easier ''. She put her down as XXXX when she is not. When we suffered a catastrophic financial situation and told in XX/XX/XXXX with the aim of getting help with the mortgage, we started a nightmare process with them that has lasted 8 years and continues. They said they wanted to help, but their actions show that is not the case. All they have been interested in is finding ways, of dubious almost fraudulent nature to increase their fees and other charges. They did n't tell us for years their investor did n't participate in the Home Affordable programs and when documents for a workout it was under this program. In XX/XX/XXXX they asked us to return some pages of a Loan Modification document, where we had questions so they could review it before we signed it, but they never called back. When we finally reached them, they told us we were no longer considered as we had rejected their offer. ( False ) They dragged it on for months, when they sent another " offer '' its was way more expensive. We explained everything to a supervisor, she investigated and found the bank had mishandled the account, offered to rework the documents as she wanted to help. We never heard back from her, No explanation ever given. All years after always offering under the Home Affordable program when they knew it would work. Their offers keep getting more expensive to their benefit. If they did n't want to help we would have done something else with the property earlier. Its a property we bought in XX/XX/XXXX. We were forced to file Chapter XXXX, to save the property and se if we could get a workout, this before we knew the investor did not participate in the program. While in Chapter XXXX one of their lawyers files a false claim charging that we had n't made any payments, with the aim it seems of getting the Court protection lifted, so they could go after the property. And on and on. I can go for ever its been 8 years of dealing with a most dishonest institution. They have never explained properly what type of loan they gave us. certainly not one for excellent customers as we were. All we ask is that they lower the interest from almost 7 percent and transfer the outstanding balance to the end of the loan.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying for over 6 months to make payments to NAVIENT for a student loan. They continually claim that the payments are n't going through. I 've been told it 's the bank 's fault, wrong type of account ( savings or checking ), etc ... During this time they are racking up interest and threatening to ding my credit. The bank I use has assured me they have not even tried to access a payment according to their records -- which means they are scamming me for interest. I have a list of attempts that prove my case from them in writing. My account has over plenty of funds to easily make the payments -- someone needs to shut them down!

Complaint narrative:
Being an XXXX XXXX Service Member, I scheduled two separate monthly payments towards my Bank of America credit card. At the time I was scheduling the payment, the W-Fi I was using from my location was kinda weak but eventually the scheduled payments went through and I received two separate confirmation numbers. # 1 ) XXXX # 2 ) XXXX I received a credit notification where I was reported 30 days late to all three credit bureaus. I was really upset because I knew I scheduled these two separate payments for my Bank of America credit card. I sent an email to the Executive Office of Bank of America explaining the situation where I am an XXXX XXXX Service Member and I was in a location where I was scheduling a payment via Wi-Fi and how I was possibly having issues with the mobile app on my device. The woman I spoke with, XXXX XXXX, said she would check with IT and most likely can not remove the 30 day remark. She eventually called me back a few days later saying IT could n't find anything and I asked for proof and she could n't provide it. Technology is a tricky thing and honestly can not be trusted but I am honestly explaining to them that I scheduled the payments. I did n't take this well because I KNOW I set up this payment. At the time of the phone call I did n't have the confirmation numbers and I explained to her they 're at home. Since I have them, I am providing them in this email. I also contacted Bank of America this morning but left a voice mail. I am requesting this 30 day late remark be removed from all 3 credit bureaus due to the difficulties of the application through the bank. As a Service Member and having my integrity questioned is very appalling and hurtful. I explained to XXXX that I have a upcoming re-investigation for my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and keeping my credit up to date and in good standing is a high priority to me. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this please contact me at the information below. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage servicer is Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc or " SPS ''. In my monthly statements I have been charged {$190.00} for " unpaid late charges '' and {$290.00} for " other charges and fees. '' I was not sure what these charges were for as I am currently up to date on my mortgage. I contacted SPS and the representative advised that part of these charges were transferred over from my previous servicer, XXXX, when the mortgage was assigned to SPS in XX/XX/XXXX. She advised that when the mortgage was transferred there were {$190.00}. XXXX in late charges and {$150.00} in " other charges. '' She also claimed that there were three additional late charges of {$29.00} for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX and three {$15.00} inspections for the same months. However, I do not think this is correct and that these charges may be a mistake. When my mortgage was transferred to SPS, I was current on my payments and had taken care of any previous fees. I did fall behind on my mortgage a couple of years ago and then reinstated it. When I reinstated my mortgage the representatives advised that I had paid all of my late charges, so I do not understand why I am now being charged for unpaid late charges for those months in XXXX. In addition, the representative from SPS assured me that the {$15.00} inspection fees would be waived.
