Complaint narrative:
We have received another scam letter f rom Hunter Warfield, claiming t hey are attempting to collect a debt for a company we 've never encountered and an amount we 've never owed. I am well aware how these organizations work in attempting to purchase debts from creditors, manipulating people with similar names into believing they owe a debt that is not their own, and harassing said people until they give in and pay a debt they do not owe. I will not stand for this again! Companies like this should be taken down by the government for their deceptive and shameful acts of extortion.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My husband took out a mortgage on our property in XX/XX/XXXX. I am on the deed but not on the mortgage. My husband passed away in XX/XX/XXXX. I paid the mortgage until XX/XX/XXXX. I was never permitted to speak to Ocwen because they said I was not on the mortgage.. When I stopped paying the mortgage and asked for a loan modification, then they spoke to me. Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have attempted to obtain a modification. They constantly say documentation is missing. I get off the phone and immediately refax it to them and the next time they communicate it 's still missing. I was never notified about who my loan was sold to. The borrower is supposed to be furnished with the name, address and phone no. Of the owner. This never occurred. I finally pushed to see who presently owns the loan and was given vague information so we really do n't know who the owner is. Aside from this fact the modification never came through and OCWEN keeps demanding that I sign a family transfer package. They have made no commitment for a modification, so I have been told by my attorney not to sign the papers. Also, I have been a XXXX XXXX and I am well aware that they are stalling and have no intention of giving me the modification. They often call and their reps are hard to understand and leave garbled messages. This co. Is a joke and is scamming the consumer.

Company: PROVIDENT FUNDING ASSOCIATES
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
This has been an ongoing problem with  Provident fund ing. When I bought my house  in  XX/XX/XXXX  Provident covered  my first and second mortgage. They sold my first mortgage to another company and kept my second mortgage. Not known to me the second mortgage instead of being a 30 year fixed is a balloon payment after 15 years. That time is rapidly approaching and after numerous attempts to refinance the second as I will in no way be able to make the balloon payment in 45 mont hs they keep rejecting me. Provident claims  since they do n't have my first mortgage they ca n't refinance. They are the ones who sold my first mortgage. They keep saying basically there is nothing they an do and wo n't work with me. I got them to admit that I have to either default on payments or wait until I owe al most  XXXX  in  XX/XX/XXXX  and default th en and they will work with me. My payment is {$240.00} per month currently a nd  XXXX  in one lump sum  will be impossible. This last attempt was what they call a modification so I can be ahead of the balloon default. They just rejected me basically saying I am current on payments so I ca n't be helped and they do n't refinance second mortgages. Why is it that they can force me to default as my only option when a refinance would satisfy both parties. They sold my first mortgage creating this problem in the first place. I have been dealing with this for over a year now. Defaulting is a ridiculous proposal since it will hurt my credit badly. My  credit score is a  XXXX  and I  have been a customer of their s since  XX/XX/XXXX . thanks in advan ce for your help.

Complaint narrative:
Complaint is about Targe t Card Services. I moved in 2015 at  which point I updated my address. On several occasions since I have been unable to use my card, each time calling in and told the wrong address was on file and a new card was sent. Each time I updated my address with reps. Each time they asked that I repeat the address several times. Today I called because once again I never received my new card. The wrong address was still on file and my account was closed due to inactivity. I was told by the manager that I could not be helped because target confirmed that my address was accurate. This make s zero sense  because my address was NOT accurate. Target sent my personal information and credit card at le ast three tim es to wrong addresses. This is not okay and is a huge violation of consumer privacy and protection. I was told there was no one else at target to speak to and he only way to voice my concerns was to write and mail a letter.

Company: Social Finance, Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
My oldest daughter just refinanced roughly {$60000.00} student loan debt with SoFi. My daughter provided all documentation SoFi asked for ( most recent statements of loans to be refinanced, etc ) and I co-signed the loan. SoFi apparently did not ask my daughter for payoff statements of loans to be refinanced, and apparently did n't acquire authorization from my daughter to request payoff statements themselves. SoFi calculated the " payoff '' amounts themselves. As a result, one of her loans was underfunded by nearly {$3000.00} and now we are left holding the bag, scrambling to come up with the money or secure additional financing. I spoke with several levels of agents at SoFi who acknowledged they under-fund loan payoffs regularly, arrogantly asserted that my daughter should have known to request a payoff, and reported they are happy to add the additional money due to her new loan with SoFi. <P/>Are n't there laws requiring a student loan lender, as the knowledgeable party, to request payoff quotes from companies they are paying off ( whether requested from borrower, or authorization is obtained to acquire payoff quote themselves )? If not, I hope you will lobby for regulations to be put in place requiring lenders to  obtain accurate payoffs when refinancing debt.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
My house that was owned by my mother and willed to me is in foreclosure and set to be auctioned in XXXX. This is happening even though I have been told that I qualify for and fit into modification guidelines for help. My issue is that Di Tech Financial has failed to conduct any type of review of my financial situation or assign a dedicated account manager to work with me. I had some financial issues in the past but my income and employment is steady and my current wife works as well. We could easily afford a reasonable payment if DiTech Financial were to review us for any of their internal or government programs. This is a conventional fixed rate loan and there should be some type of modification program for XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX loans that DiTech could look at. Our problem is that they are passing all of this by and just trying to do a foreclosure sale on my home. My problems with this loan began in XXXX when I was going through a costly divorce. I could not keep up with the payments and fell behind. I contacted the servicer at the time ( Greentree I believe ) and they reviewed my information and told me that I was eligible for a loan modification. I began the process but my ex-wife ( who was listed as co-borrower at the time ) was not cooperative. We fell further behind and then together we decided the best thing to do was reinstate the loan and pay all the past due amounts. We did this and then got the divorce finalized and the house was awarded to me. However, I had a couple of bad seasons which affected my employment and income ( I work as XXXX XXXX/XXXX ) and fell behind on the loan again. I am once again trying to resolve this matter and get considered for some type of assistance but cant get to first base with DiTech. My income is back to where it used to be and my current wife is employed as a XXXX and together we earn sufficient income to qualify for assistance programs. The problem is that Di Tech Financial will not even give us a chance to be considered for retention options, even those that they are required to offer on conventional loans. Instead they have moved to auction our home on XXXX XXXX without even giving us a chance.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Our mortgage was transferred from  GreenTree to DiTech Financial i n   XX/XX/XXXX   and was paid in full on   XX/XX/XXXX .  As per  DiTech Financials payo ff letter, our principal balance was {$13000.00} ; our escrow balance was {$1200.00} ; interest was {$34.00} good throug h  XX/XX/XXXX . Inter est per day was quoted as {$2.00}.  DiTech received a check on  XX/XX/XXXX  for {$13000.00}. DiTechs principal a nd escrow balances matched my recordkeeping.    Ditech mailed  an escrow check for {$1200.00}. Their check to us was {$58.00} short! I called the company o n  XX/XX/XXXX  to inq uire as to why our check was shorted {$58.00}. I was told it was because our payoff check was short and they took {$58.00} from our escrow to close the account. Knowing this was not correct, I asked for an explanation. The customer service agent agreed that the payoff was not short and stated she was sending our account to loan servicing for a review. I was told the same story on my subsequent phone calls  on  XX/XX/XXXX ,     XX/XX/XXXX  and  XX/XX/XXXX .    O n  XX/XX/XXXX , I mailed a certified letter to Ditech asking for an explanation. Finally, I received a letter from DiTech dated  XX/XX/XXXX  stating their records indicate the payoff was NOT SHORT and this account was paid in full and closed on  XX/XX/XXXX . The letter didnt say anything why o ur escrow check was shorted and didnt include a check for {$58.00}. The letter did state if I had any further questions or concerns, to please contact (  XXXX  )  XXXX . As such, I made more calls on   XX/XX/XXXX ,  XX/XX/XXXX ,  XX/XX/XXXX  and  XX/XX/XXXX . Again, I was told the same story, our account would be sent to loan servicing and I would receive a call back. It has now been 10 months and DiTech has failed to respond, has lied, and uses diversionary tactics. I am DEMANDING DiTech immediate ly send a check for the {$58.00} they owe us from our escrow account!

Company: KEYCORP

Complaint narrative:
First, the standard complaint questions do not accurately describe my situation. I hope you can still help me. I had a bank execution entered against me. I have been told the bank did not do the execution properly. The execution was dated  XXXX /17. It was served on Key Bank on  XXXX /17. It was mailed to me on  XXXX /17. The letter I received from Key Bank did not explain the proper process for filing an exemption claim form in CT. Instead of telling me to fill out the exemption claim form and take it back to Key Bank within 15 days to prevent my money from being taken, the letter told me to contact the State Marshal who served the bank execution on me. The letter did not mention that if I took the exemption claim form to the bank, it would mail it to the court and a hearing would be scheduled. The letter did not mention anything about certain monies, such as Social Security, being protected from execution. I did n't understand all of the papers attached to the letter. Finally, although the funds in my account were all from Social Security, the bank is charging me a {$100.00} service fee and the Marshall is charging me a fee for serving the execution. I contacted legal aid and was told to file an exemption claim form with the court. I have a hearing scheduled   XXXX   XXXX  , 2017 and expect to get my Social Security back. I do not know if I will get the service fee or Marshall fee returned but both should be returned.
