Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I have been a BB & T credit card holder since XX/XX/XXXX. I have always paid my bills on time and generally did not carry a balance. In XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX, hundreds of fraudulent charges totaling more than {$3800.00} appeared on my card statement. I immediately contacted BB & T and they cancelled the card and issued a new card. I worked with BB & T to identify all of the fraudulent charges and corresponding foreign transaction fees, through the first few months of XX/XX/XXXX. I was given the impression BB & T was working to resolve this issue. However, in XX/XX/XXXX BB & T closed the fraud claim leaving more than {$2100.00} in fraudulent charges on my account. I insisted BB & T open a second fraud claim, and I continued to work with the BB & T fraud team. BB & T acknowledged and reimbursed an additional {$1500.00} in fraudulent charges in XX/XX/XXXX. As of XX/XX/XXXX, the account still includes more than {$600.00} in fraudulent charges unaccounted for. In addition, BB & T has charged late fees and interest of more than {$600.00}, and they've reported the account as late, severely impacting my credit score. 

This issue has been referred to several special investigation teams within BB & T and they have not been able to acknowledge all of the fraudulent charges. Now, due to both the large number of charges and the fact that numerous teams have attempted to resolve this ( without success ), BB & T states this issue is nearly too complicated for them to untangle. BB & T continues to insist I make payments on these fraudulent charges despite their ongoing investigation. 

I am concerned that BB & T will force me to pay for illegitimate charges and my credit will be permanently damaged as I begin the process of applying for a mortgage to buy a new house. Because of this damage to my credit, one financial institution has already denied my application for a bridge loan and would only approve me for a mortgage with a much higher interest rate. 

After more than a year and many hours on the phone with both the fraud department and BB & T 's collections agency I do not have confidence that BB & T will resolve this.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
PHH Mortgage Services formerly OCWEN Loan Servicing ( OCWEN ) is still incorrectly reporting my account. As indicated I applied for cash for keys and it was suggested that I file for deed in lieu for foreclosure under the Home Affordable Alternative program. The process was extended over and over because of Ocwen 's failure to just inform me that they weren't on the deed. Instead of just informing me of such, they slid a process that was unintended because there had never been a transfer of title. I have documents and have secured statements from the XXXX County Clerks and Courts that the reason that OCWEN could not process was because they did not hold the deed at the time of application. In fact when they became the mortgage servicer, they also did not hold the deed as proven by the clerks office. As such my efforts were abandoned even though I followed every step of the process as requested. As stated by the XXXX CO CLERK Ocwen would not have been able to perform any actions pertaining to the property.
