Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I discovered an unauthorized charge on my  American Express  card in the amount of {$12.00} for an  XXXX   XXXX  membership on   X/X/17 .  I contacted  American Express  and was told that I did not have to close the account but they would place a merchant block so that  XXXX  would no longer be able to charge my account. The same charge appeared on   X/X/17 .  I called again and was told that I should close the account and open another one. I inquired about the merchant block and was told that with memberships, they continue to be charged even after an account is closed. I asked how the issue can be resolved since the unauthorized charge is for a membership. I did not receive a satisfactory answer. I later received an email stating that an account number that I did not recognize was charged for {$12.00} for the  XXXX   XXXX  membership. When I called  American Express  again I was told that an old account that was closed many years ago was accessed and the charge got processed through that account and then bounced to the new account. I explained that many years ago I did close an account due to a security issue. I was told that it was not closed properly. At this point I have been told on the phone by various  American Express  representatives that all of my accounts are closed as I had requested at this point but I continue to receive email that contradicts that information. I contacted  American Express  headquarters in New York and was advised to send them a letter. I sent them a certified letter on Saturday,  XXXX   XXXX . I called today after having received an email that seemed to indicate that there is still an open account and I was told by staff in their legal department that someone would call me eventually but would not give me a timeframe. I have spent many hours on the phone talking to many American express representatives. Several calls have lasted  1 to 2 hours  in which I was transferred to numerous representives. Some of the representatives have been in the US and some have been outside of the US. Some of the phone connections have been OK but some have been extremely poor. There has also been a language barrier with numerous representatives. Overall this experience has been extremely time-consuming and inefficient and is still not resolved. To clarify, while I have had an  American Express a ccount, I have been the only authorized card holder

Company: Community Loan Servicing, LLC (formerly known as Bayview Loan Servicing, LLC)
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Had a loan with   XXXX   and it was sold to  Bayview Loan Servicing . My final payment with  XXXX  was drafted on n    X/XX/2017 . I d id receive notice that Bayview would take over the loan. That is when things became a problem. I never authorized Bayview to do an electronic draft from my checking account. My final electronic check from  XXXX  on   X/XX/2017   indicates authorized by your depositor and the unauthorize draft from  Bayview in dicates authorized by drawer.     This would not have been a problem if Bayview would have informed me that they intended to use same drafting information from  XXXX . Trying to keep my good payment history I went into Bayviews website on  XXXX   XXXX ,  2017 a nd submitted an electronic payment for my first and worse payment experience with Bayview. Not until after the payment was submitted did I realize that the electronic payment from  XXXX  may move and this could cause my good deed to turn into a nightmare.     On Monday,  XXXX   XXXX ,  2017 I cont act Bayview and enquired about the payment. The agent instructed me to stop the payment at my bank. The same day went my bank and was told that the transfer is immediate and can not be reversed.   XXXX   on the same day contacted  Bayview  again and was told 21 days to get a refund. Told the agent that was not acceptable and placed in escalation. Was instructed by escalation department to fax the documents showing double payment and they would overnight my refund check.     The items did not show up on my account until   X/X/17     on the same day returned the fax with all the requested documents and even call. Was told then that my check should be in before Friday. Friday came no check in the mail. Call again on   X/X/17     and was told the check was processed and should have it soon.   X/XX/17   still no check.     Making two payment has created an extreme hardship on me and my family not to mention getting the run around from Bayview.     Surely something is wrong with this picture. I need help.     Thanks

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: IA

Complaint narrative:
I had to relocate to Iowa for employment last year. I tried to rent this condo out since I was underwater on my mortgage but unfortunately shortly after I left there was a huge roof leak that caused major damage. The insurance covered a portion of the repairs but the rest were up to me and I do n't have the money. The stairwell is damaged and so is the top floor of the home making it unrentable. I hired an Agent to help me short sale the property and we submitted all of my paperwork. Shellpoint had the locks changed adn left the wrong keys in the contractors box, locking my Agent out of the home for full month making it very difficult to get an offer. Once we finally gained access we got an offer within a few days and submitted it to Shellpoint. They state they will not postpone my foreclosure date because they have not received a value they ordered.

I file dispute immediately after I found this charge shown on my account, but I do n't only response after the dispute. I sent online message many time for inquiry and each time is just we are working on it and no useful information. I called  Chase t o find out, but the representative is really unprofessional. She just read the outcome that  Chase w ill not refund the fraud charge because the fraudulent restaurant provide you the receipt who know what it is and you can not get money back from the restaurant. And refuse to connect to manager for help me solve this issue after I requested. After file official complaint in BBB, the  Chase executive off ice 's response is even worse and does n't care if I am  Chase 's customer or not. Chase can  not provide any solid evidence such as the restaurant receipt with my signature. I never receive any solid evidence from  Chase by mail indicate this charge is valid, but Chase is  so rude and said its their final decision and if you do n't like you can cancel the card. I paid  XXXX  $ annual fee for this credit card and this is not the customer service I expected. It seems that Chase does n't value their customer at all.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Nationstar Mortgage claims we owe 2 months payment. The problem is we have been in bankruptcy for the past 5 years. We were supposed to have been discharged in  XXXX . Then Nationstar comes back and says we owe 2 months and yet we have satisfied all payments to the trustee of Ch.  XXXX . I have continuously provided Nationstar with bank statements through my bankruptcy attorney and yet they do n't seem to find the payments. To begin with I have never missed a payment to  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  who first held our mortgages, then now to Nationstar. The reason we got into bankruptcy because we fell behind in our mortgage payment. Now we have satisfied the requirements for discharge, then Nationstar comes along and says we owe two months of this year- XXXX  and  XXXX . I called them on    XXXX  -2017  and spoke to  XXXX , he told me I was up to date in my payments and he did n't know was going on, and he was going to submit an inquiry into the matter. He went on say that it would take a week, but we never heard from him or them again. Since then  XXXX   XXXX  from the bankruptcy attorney has been communicating with Nationstar attorney  XXXX   XXXX . Then on  XXXX  -2017,   XXXX  sends me text saying Nationstar received  XXXX  's payment and that they will apply it to  XXXX  's. I called on  XXXX  -2017 to    XXXX  and spoked to  XXXX  in the bankruptcy department, and claims that the default in payments goes back to when  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  had the mortgage during the initial stages of our bankruptcy. That is not possible, as we had taken care of that problem about  2  to 3 years ago, and yet they are bringing up matters that have already been resolved. I am trying to get  discharged s o that I can refinance my home and get my title to my truck and move on with our lives, but that does n't seem to be the case with Nationstar. I have prove from Nationstar sent us a letter that  Pre-Petition Default P ayments have been paid in full to cure the default, contradicting  XXXX  's assertion that we still owe. Please help us with this dilemma, I will provide with whatever documentation is required and also they keep on raising my escrow payment and yet we never see a dime of any money that is left over from after them paying the taxes on our house.

Complaint narrative:
Financial Freedom LN   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX   XXXX  CA  XXXX  We have requested a copy of the appraisal that had been used to value this property multiple times. We have requested it 3 times directly from the negotiator,  XXXX   XXXX .  Two t imes via email and once via phone call. She has completely ignored our requests.     We have also called in t o Financial Freedom a nd they have outright refused to provide a copy of the appraisal.     Refusing to provide a copy of the appraisal used in a value decision is a direct violation of the ECOA guidelines ( a copy is attached to this complaint ).     We believe there has been valuation fraud on this file, an d Financial Freedom is r efusing to provide a copy of the appraisal, as per ECOA guidelines.     This property is  a Mobile Home on a Cinderblock Foundation and Financial Freedom  is hiding the fact that they have accepted a value on it that compares it to a single-family residential property. The value that  Financial Freedom  has come up with are in line with the market comparables for Single-Family residences in the area. This value is NOT in line with market comparables for a  Mobile Home on a Cinderblock Foundation .     Again, this property is NOT a  Single-Family Residence. It is a Mobile Home on a Cinderblock  Foundation. Any value that would have been arrived at by comparing this Mobile Home on a  Cinderblock Foundation t o a Single-Family Residence is FRAUD.      Financial Freedom  has either  1 ) either committed the fraud on purpose, 2 ) wer e too stupid to review the appraisal, or  3 ) they hired an  XXXX .      None of those are acceptable excuses for  Valuation Fraud .     We believe thi s Valuation Fraud is  being done on purpose to defraud the Federal Government and t he US Taxpayer.      Als o, Financial Freedom is  claiming that the foreclosure auction will take place on  XX/XX/XXXX . We have checked wit h the county and a Notice of Trustee Sale  has not been recorded. Not only that, but the seller died in  XXXX  of  XXXX .  ( See attached Death Certificate. ) T here is a 12 month moratorium on foreclosing on the property of a deceased person. That means the Estate of the Deceased has 12 months to sell the property before the foreclosure proceedings can even begin. The original estimated foreclosure date on this property was in  XXXX   XXXX . That means that  Financial Freedom st arted the foreclosure proceedings in  XXXX , as soon as they found out he was deceased. THIS IS ILEGAL.  Does Financial Freedom  plan to Illegally Foreclose on the property?
