Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: PNC Bank N.A.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Hello, This issue is in regards to a mortgage being survived by PNC. The details are : 30 year term with a fixed interest rate ; payments are principal and interest only. The mortgage began through XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, that bank was purchased by XXXX XXXX. XXXX then sold the servicing to PNC in XX/XX/XXXX. Upon the purchase, PNC erroneously placed an escrow on the account for the annual home insurance. The fee was {$330.00} annually. So the monthly payment went from XXXX to XXXX. I contacted the bank in XX/XX/XXXX to notify them if the issue. PNC told me the issue was resolved in XX/XX/XXXX. However, in XX/XX/XXXX I received notice that my payment was late, as they were holding my principal and interest payments until they recover the amount including escrow. I called PNC in XX/XX/XXXX and notified them if the issue. PNC said it was resolved. In XX/XX/XXXX I called again as I was notified of late payment again. However this time PNC reported a late payment to the credit bureau. This was in error as they were holding my payment waiting for the escrow amount that : was incorrectly placed and never removed. I called in XX/XX/XXXX and PNC stated the issue will be r viewed internally to verify the loan document state principal and interest only. This was never done and they continue to report me as late. In XX/XX/XXXX I called again. I was given the balance of the escrow and made a payment to clear the balance. I also was told I needed to fax a letter saying the escrow was placed in error and must be removed. I faxed a letter on XX/XX/XXXX. My request was denied as " I had late payments in past. '' My payments were made on time. PNC was holding my payment because they were awaiting the escrow payment. I have tried for a year to resolve this issue to zero success. I hope the CFPB can help mediate this so PNC does not illegally report credit issues and hold payments because they have incorrectly identified a mortgage as escrowed.

I filed a complaint about my brothers addresses showing up on my experian report and they refused to take them off. I provided my ssn, address, government photo Id, and a copy of the report with the addresses shown in highlighter. I mailed the letter certified with a receipt and made copies of the letter that was sent to them as proof. I informed the reporting agency that this was n't up to the standard for the fair credit reporting act and they still violated it.

Company: PRESTIGE FINANCIAL SERVICES INC
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent an email to account manager, XXXX XXXX, for my vehicle loan with Prestige Financial Services ; I was requesting a reduced payment amount of {$250.00} for XX/XX/XXXX loan payment. Due to having a medical hardship, the initial monthly payment for {$420.00}, which was set up to be drafted on XX/XX/XXXX, was going to be returned. This was suppose to be XX/XX/XXXX payment, but late. XXXX XXXX XXXX, replied via email on XX/XX/XXXX, stating that she could " reduce and accept '' a {$300.00} payment for the month of XX/XX/XXXX only. Therefore, I accepted her offer for the reduced payment of {$300.00}. Thus, making the {$300.00} payment will bring my account current as of date, until my next monthly payment which is due on XX/XX/XXXX. After reading and acknowledging the payment disclosure sent to me via email on XX/XX/XXXX ; I authorized the {$300.00} payment for XX/XX/XXXX to be drafted from my savings account on XX/XX/XXXX. The disclosure also stated that by Prestige accepting a reduced payment amount for XX/XX/XXXX, this may extend the term of my vehicle contract, and affect the prior three payments received. Now all of a sudden, on XX/XX/XXXX ( today ), XXXX XXXX from Prestige sent me an email stating that my loan is {$50.00} past due and I must make a payment to bring my account current. However, my account should be current from the payment made on XX/XX/XXXX, in the amount of {$300.00}. Along, with her forwarding my information to another account manager named XXXX XXXX ; I am now being harassed by the both of them for an additional {$50.00} payment. Plus, neither one of these managers want to disclose how I would owe another {$50.00} for
XX/XX/XXXX.
I do not like being harassed and threatened to have my vehicle repossessed for additional money they claim I owe, on top of my XX/XX/XXXX payment already made. Please look in to this matter.

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: Flagstar Bank, National Association
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Ohio Savings Bank, a division of New York Community Bank ( NYCB ), is getting out of the loan business because of their own financial problems. They just announced the sale of their mortgage business to XXXX XXXX, and they are laying off 200+ mortgage employees in XXXX . However, long before that, they started calling in loans last year. Even though our HELOC was in good standing, they called in the loan -- forcing us to refinance -- which in turn will cost us closing costs and hours and hours of time. We started refinancing in XX/XX/XXXX. However, for a variety of reasons beyond our control, the refinance did not close by their XX/XX/XXXX deadline. Now they are threatening collection activity, foreclosure, negative reporting to credit bureaus -- all for a problem they created. We are basically waiting for one document -- a XX/XX/XXXX tax transcript from the IRS -- to finish the refinance. I have talked to the tax advocate office, but they say they ca n't speed up the process. We 're probably talking about 6 weeks at most, but NYCB is unwilling to give us that time. Instead they are requesting reams of more documentation so they can provide " mortgage assistance '' that we do n't even want. All we need is time to finish the refinance process.

Company: Bepensa Capital, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
We started a deferment process on a car loan on XX/XX/XXXX. We have never been late on this loan or asked for this. The form was sent to us on XX/XX/XXXX by XXXXXXXXXXXX who is a manager. The form was completed immediately through their XXXX signature process and sent back on XX/XX/XXXX. We called on XX/XX/XXXX to ensure that all was received. The cs rep said yes. We continued to receive calls about our payment even though we were told by the above manager and CS representatives that our payment was deferred for XX/XX/XXXX and not to worry. The calls continue to come. We called on XX/XX/XXXX again being told deferrment was in process but to call at end of month reassured once again not to worry. We were told that we did not have a payment due until XX/XX/XXXX. We called on XX/XX/XXXX asking for payment alarm to be turned off. It was turned off. Today XX/XX/XXXX we received a nasty call that we needed to contact AFS Acceptance about our account ASAP. We called and were told we owe the XX/XX/XXXX payment and that now it was going on our credit as late. We have had this car since XX/XX/XXXX and have paid its enormous interest payment every month on time. It is a 60 month loan at high interest due to be paid off next year in XX/XX/XXXX. These guys are very unprofessional and horrible with how they treat customers. The car dealer who sold us the car went out of business two months after putting us in this awful loan. We have followed everything they asked and they have continually lied to us. Our credit should not have anything negative at all since they messed a simple task up. They need to do what was promised and defer the XX/XX/XXXX payment as promised by their manager and team. Any additional questions please contact me at XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX after a HAMP program modification XXXX XXXX sold my loan to SLS. XX/XX/XXXX I received my first statement from SLS stating to pay {$210.00} on XX/XX/XXXX as it indicated there had been {$1300.00} already applied toward the XX/XX/XXXX payment. I telephoned SLS as asked where the {$1300.00} came from and was informed it came over from my former lender with the escrow balance. I paid the {$210.00} as requested. XX/XX/XXXX I received a delinquent statement for the full payment amount. I telephoned SLS and inquired what happened. I was informed somebody moved the {$1300.00} to my balance and so the representative was moving it back to apply toward my XX/XX/XXXX payment. Two days later I telephoned to see if the transfer was successful and was told the {$1300.00} had disappeared. I have gone to their " executive dept '' several times and all I get was " oh there was an error ''. Recently I received a letter from SLS stating they sent the {$1300.00} back to XXXX. XXXX says they never received it. I have been past due for over one year and XX/XX/XXXX I received 4 notices of intent to foreclose. A SLS representative told me not to worry about it but there has been no notice received that SLS is not proceeding with foreclosure. I spent over one year trying to get a straight answer out of SLS about the {$1300.00} and still they have not verified they returned the money to XXXX. XXXX says they would mail me a check if they had received funds from SLS. XXXX wants a check number to track the payment on their end. Further, the {$1300.00} to the penny is showing on my XX/XX/XXXX XXXX statement as unapplied funds. So this whole " error '' thing just does n't make sense.
