Consumer complaint received 2016-05-20 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Fay Servicing, LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
The mortgage on the home that my ex-wife and children live in was finally modified under what I believe to be the XXXX Program. I say finally because we attempted either XXXX 4 times over multiple years to get a government sponsored modification from XXXX XXXX XXXX and ran into issues such as " lost paperwork '', incorrect information and possibly outright lies and mail not being received that was supposedly sent by them. The modification was eventually finalized on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX by XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX days later on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, this mortgage note and the loan servicing rights were sold to Fay Servicing. The issue is that to this point Fay Servicing is not recognizing the fully completed and executed loan modification contract which is causing both my ex-wife and I significant problems. They have incorrectly reported false information to the various credit reporting agencies while they had the correct information available to them, thus causing XXXX loss of a significant opportunity as well as damage to XXXX my ex-wife and I in general. In response to our numerous requests to have them correctly recognize the completion of the loan modification as well as removing and/or reversing the false reports to the various credit agencies, they have refused to give specific dates when these issues will be addressed/completed, and have not provided answers to pertinent information relating to this account and these issues. All the while, they have continued to report false information regarding our credit, thus exacerbating the damage to us, as well as refusing to address the situation of incorrect miscellaneous charges being applied to the account due to their lack of recognition of a fully executed legal contract in the form of the loan modification. In the case of both XXXX XXXX XXXX and Fay Servicing, there are more specifics relating to these issues and the lack of responsiveness in addressing them appropriately. However, I think that this correspondence should provide enough information to your tax payer funded, consumer oriented regulatory agency to get the ball rolling in not only an effort to provide relief to my family, but to point out some of the outright abuses and possibly fraudulent actions of these financial service companies that have been enjoying some well documented, tax payer funded protection over many years. I will be very willing to respond in any appropriate way regarding this and related matters, and add my voice to the issues in order to attempt to reign in the abusive nature of these companies and the financial services industry in general. They are doing untold amounts of damage to the general population of our country while receiving tax payer funded protection from the very elected officials and civil servants who are supposed to protect us, their constituents, and whose salaries and benefits are being paid for by those very same taxpayers.

Product: Mortgage — VA mortgage
Issue: Settlement process and costs — 
Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I am in the process of purchasing my first home. On XXXX XXXX 2016 I received the Closing Disclosure for my mortgage application. The Closing Disclosure indicated a change in the " Calculating Cash to Close '' section in the " Adjustments and Other Credits '' line item. In the Loan Estimate I received on XXXX XXXX 2016 this line item indicated " {$0.00} '' and on my Closing Disclosure it indicates " {$840.00} ''. 

While I was prepared to absorb some additional cost this was a shock. Section K of the Closing Disclosure I received indicates this adjustment is due to " Items Paid by Seller in Advance '', specifically prorated Town/County Taxes. The prorated taxes for the seller are required to be disclosed on both the Loan Estimate & the Closing Disclosure in accordance with 12 CFR 1026.37 & 1026.38, however, were not included on the Loan Estimate I was provided. 

Since the Loan Estimate I received was non-compliant with 12 CFR 1026.37 ( h ) ( 1 ) ( vii ), and the official interpretation in Supplement I ( XXXX ), it does not seem fair, and possibly illegal, for USAA to require me to pay for an adjustment that was not disclosed on my Loan Estimate. The seller is certainly entitled to prorated repayment of their property taxes, however, the lender should pay at this point in the process since the closing date was already established when I received the Loan Estimate. The lender certainly had enough information to estimate this cost and they did not, waiting instead until we are within a week of closing and putting us in a very difficult position, it feels like we are being extorted. 

The above situation is my primary concern. It is also worth mentioning that the difference in estimated Cash to Close between the Loan Estimate and the Closing Disclosure appears to just be an increase of 7 %, however, it is deceptive of USAA to present this information in a way that makes their initial Loan Estimate for Cash at Closing seem even remotely accurate. By their calculations it appears the Cash to Close only increased by {$130.00}, however, this is only because the seller agreed to pay an additional {$1000.00} closing costs. When this correction is accounted for the actual increase in Cash at Closing increases by approximately {$1200.00}, this is a 69 % increase on the Closing Disclosure above their original Loan Estimate.

Company: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
I am XXXX XXXX XXXX that works for a company that helps victims of ID Theft to clear up fraudulent matters. I obtain a Limited Power of Attorney in order to help these vicitims clear up fraudulent matters. I disputed an account last year with USAA for one of my members. We were advised last year the account was cleared. This year it got sent to collections. After spending more than three hours on the phone USAA advised today the account was in a charge off status not a fraud status. I tried to work with the fraud department today to see if we could get the status corrected. USAA could verify my POA On file, but insistied they would not talk to me unless I provided my PERSONAL social security number and date of birth for verification purposes. I told them I was not related to the member, this was n't my account and for security purposes I was not comfortable giving them my social. They said I had to, so I made up a number and told them I was doing so. Then they tell me they have access to background information and the number did not come back as valid and they would not talk to me. I never authorized them to check background information on me. I never authorized anything. I cant believe for security reasons a fraud department is asking for social security number of PROFESSIONALS not financially obligated to the account. This needs to be stopped and now we ca n't resolve a fraudulent account which is against FAIR DEBT COLLECTION Practices and their regulations because I wo n't give my social. The client, is hard of hearing and ca n't speak. HIs wife, handles all the financial affairs. They wont talk to her either. The member signed a power of attorney so that I could help him and I cant. I went to XXXX at USAA dept supervisor and she refused to find a different way to resolve this.

Company: Diversified Consultants, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I moved to XXXX XXXX, GA in XXXX XXXX. I had XXXX as my mobile service provider. I rented a home at xxx XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA ; a location not serviceable by XXXX. After XXXX Corporate confirmed this lack of coverage they were willing by their policy to cancel my account.I paid the account in full for service used to date of cancellation. They also asked that I give them my new I-phone as part of their cancellation while still under contract. It was not their phone, acquired elsewhere, but I turned it in. I began service with my family through XXXX XXXX whose service reached my XXXX address. A few months later and to my surprise I received a bill from XXXX for XXXX. Upon inquiry I am told the bill was for " breach of contract '' because I did not turn in the other XXXX phones we had, very old and outdated phones. I went back several times to XXXX service dealer who told me to disregard and had spoken to Corporate. This is same office location in XXXX where I cancelled the XXXX service confirming we lived outside coverage area. 

I ignored the bill waiting for a letter of correction. I then received a call from a collection company demanding the amount of XXXX. I explained that this amount is NOT for cellular service not paid, but penalty charges for not giving them my other phones beyond my I-phone I gave them. He then got on the phone with XXXX Corporate after telling me this should not be sent to collections, and that this is not a valid bill. I received a call from Corporate office ( its now XX/XX/XXXX ) and told the account would be closed and XXXX out with their apology as NO ONE asked for my other phones beyond my phone back in XXXX XXXX, and I also only received XXXX return box. 

By XX/XX/XXXX I stopped hearing from XXXX altogether. I had not received ANY written communication to my knowledge since. However, a recent credit report shows me in " collection '' for XXXX with a new debt collector company. I filed a dispute with XXXX XXXX but amounted to nothing beyond showing the amount is in dispute by me, consumer.

Company: EMBRACE HOME LOANS
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I have applied for a home loan through Embrace Home Loans in XXXX 2015. I was pre-approved and went through the process of finding a house. After finding a home and having the owner file for bankruptcy in XXXX, I was on the search again. I found a home for sale by owner. So I spoke with my loan officer, XXXX XXXX, and told him that the owner was fine with me moving in with a deposit and she can wait till XXXX to sell the property to me so I could get a XXXX % financing loan. I sent him an email XXXX XXXX, trying to get him to start the loan so we could hopefully close by XX/XX/XXXX, like the owner of the home wanted. I recently found out he did not start on the loan until XX/XX/XXXX. 
Every few days I send him an email or text asking how things are. He has told me several times that everything would be closed on time. Until it got to XX/XX/XXXX, then he promised it would be finished by XX/XX/XXXX. Now here we are, XX/XX/XXXX, with still no set closing date. 
I made an agreement with the owner of the property that I would have to pay {$40.00} per day that the loan goes past the closing date in XX/XX/XXXX. This Chip knew, but still he does not seem to know what he is doing even though he is the branch manager. I could understand this taking one month or even two. But we are into month 4. To me this is ridiculous and I have no idea what else I can do to get him to move things along. 
I am a single mother with XXXX children. I am very lucky that I can even afford a home like this but this is causing unneeded XXXX to not only me, but my XXXX-year-old daughter who is worried that we will not have a home if this is n't finished quickly.

Complaint narrative:
I needed to send money to my boyfriend who is currently in XXXX. He has to pay some fees to the XXXX government. But my boyfriend has no bank account in XXXX to receive my wire transfer. He ca n't open one because of lack of requirements being a foreigner there. So he asked help from a friend. This friend gave him a name and details of his friend in XXXX, XXXX who will receive the wire transfer money from me. Once the beneficiary receives the money, he will call my boyfriend 's friend to confirm that he receive the money, only then will my boyfriend 's friend will deliver the money in XXXX to my boyfriend. That was the arrangement when I asked my boyfriend on how could he get the money. So on XXXX, I sent a wire transfer in the amount of {$12000.00} to XXXX XXXX to his XXXX Bank account in XXXX. But after an hour or two, I received an email from my boyfriend 's friend for me to cancel the wire transfer. So I called my bank to cancel the transaction but the bank said it was already debited from my account and was already sent to XXXX Bank. So my bank called XXXX Bank to request for a call back funds. 
XXXX Bank confirmed that the {$12000.00} that I sent was credited to XXXX XXXX 's XXXX Bank account. But because XXXX Bank can not get hold of XXXX XXXX, XXXX Bank closed his account so that he could n't withdraw the money. 
XXXX persons from XXXX Bank called me and verified if I was the sender by asking questions regarding the wire transfer and I answered them all. 
Every time I made a follow up, my bank said they have not received a response from XXXX Bank. I was too worried because my boyfriend needed the money. 
So on XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a letter to XXXX Bank to please send me back the money. But XXXX Bank did not reply. Again on XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a follow up letter but still no reply. 

Please help me recover my {$12000.00}. I just borrowed that money from a close friend. Hope you can help me.

Complaint narrative:
I was paying on a payday loan from Approved Cash the best I could. I had yet to pay this month 's payment. I was waiting on my money to come in. I had told them that I would pay this month. I had not paid on the third, yet told them it would be after the third before I would pay. I received a voicemail on my phone saying if I did not pay it now she would charge me with fraud. She said that she would call the police and have me arrested that day. I ended up having to borrow the money from my mother to pay the loan off. I went to another store to pay and was told that she should have not left that message. I was afraid to call or contact her store even to tell her it was paid. I was afraid that even when I paid it off that she would have me arrested.
