Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
OCWEN continues its deceptive and misleading servicing practices and refuses to correct errors on my mortgage bill statem ent. Ocwen charged me {$110.00} for a property valuation expense, mortgage account statement shows. OCWEN claims " the property valuation was completed i n response to a request for a loan modification, in which we needed to obtain a fair market value of the property ''. The question is not whether a request for mortgage assistance was submitted. The question is why am I charged {$110.00} for a property valuation when there was no advanced notice and consent given by me. I submitted a request for mortgage assistance. I did not request, accept, or approve of any valuation of the property, period. I had no idea a request for mortgage assistance automatically triggered a {$110.00} property valuation fee to my bill. This is a complete scam! OCWEN failed to give any advanced notice of a property valuation expense, or even ask for my consent. Please immediately remove the {$110.00} property valuation expense and send me a corrected mortgage statement.

Company: United Resource Systems, Inc

Company: Home Point Financial Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I refinanced my mortgage with  Home Point Financial  in  XXXX  of  XXXX . I was abundantly clear that there would be no escrow of insurance and taxes. In  XXXX  of  XXXX  I received a letter from the company stating that they needed proof of flood insurance. I have maintained flood insurance since the original purchase of my home in  XXXX . I promptly provided them with proof of flood insurance and had  Home Point nam ed on the declaratory page.   In  XXXX  of this year I began receiving anonymous letters from "  Insurance  Departmen t '' of Home Point Financial  stating that they would begin escrowing for my flood insurance. I immediately contacted customer service ( if you could call it service? ) to point out the error as I maintain my own insurance and am happy to provide proof of coverage. I was told that I would be grandfathered in and would be exempt from escrow. Several weeks later I received another letter stating that I would be subject to escrow and flood insurance would be force placed on my mortgage. Again I contacted their alleged customer service department and was assured that the mistake would be corrected.     Yesterday, I received a statement from  Home Point Financial  informing me that my payment had been increased by {$43.00} per month for escrow for flood insurance. I called the company and asked who the policy would be with and how much flood insurance coverage I would be supplied with. No one could answer my question as the " insurance department '' does not have a telephone.     I asked to speak to the president and was told that he does not have a telephone.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I opened a joint account with my husband over 15 years ago with Bank of America. Subsequently, I developed a  XXXX  that makes it very painful for me to use a voice telephone. As I am not deaf or speech impaired, I do not have a relay service nor equipment to use one. Further, use of a relay service compromises privacy in unacceptable ways. I have previously complained here regarding BoA 's chat portal, where they first said they could n't help me because it " was n't secure, '' then backtracked on that and found other excuses not to use the portal for assistance.     Despite my opening the account, my husband was listed as primary cardholder, a fact I was not aware of until I tried to get information on transactions several years ago. I attempted to resolve this through use of online chat, but was unsuccessful as BoA refused to discuss the matter or afford solutions using a medium I could communicate with. I requested they escalate to their general counsel and/or  XXXX  coordinator, but nothing ever happened.     This week, I attempted to bring my credit card feed into my accounting program. I found myself unable to either view the credit card information online, or bring over the feed, likely due to not being the primary cardholder despite my opening the account. As BoA now advertised help via  XXXX , I tried that and asked how I could get help either via chat, email, fax,  XXXX ,  XXXX , or any other online means.     Unfortunately, the person answering my query on  XXXX  said BoA had taken down chat, and help would not be available using any of those means. My only recourse is to physically go to a branch. My  XXXX  makes it difficult for me to go to a branch, my work from home job usually encompasses the hours most branches are open, and I feel I should not be penalized for having a  XXXX  by a company that offers its services to the general public.     I fully expect Bank of America to treat  XXXX  customers with the same level of customer service afforded to other customers. This is, indeed, the law. They refuse to offer me any type of reasonable accommodation whatsoever.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Since  XXXX    XXXX   I have applied for a reduced payment plan for my private student loan because the payments are extremely high and I do not make enough to cover the payment. This resulted in a lower interest rate on the loan. I have to reapply every year, which I do, starting in  XXXX . I submit all of the required paperwork and I start calling at the end of  XXXX  to ensure that Navient has received the required paperwork. This year, I submitted all of the required paperwork in  XXXX . I called the first week of  XXXX  and was told that it was too early for me to call and reapply and that they would not help me at that time. Someone then called me  XXXX   XXXX  and said I needed to reapply for the reduced payment plan. We started the process and then halfway through, she said that she could not help me because I had to wait until  XXXX  to reapply. I informed her the plan expired at the end of  XXXX  and the paperwork I received stated that I have everything completed by the end of the month. She said there was absolutely nothing she could right now and that I had to wait until  XXXX . She then told me that she would call me on  XXXX   XXXX  and actually scheduled an appointment with me. However, I never received a call back  XXXX   XXXX . I called Navient on  XXXX   XXXX  to discuss my application. The first person I spoke to on  XXXX   XXXX , tried to tell me that I had a past due balance of over {$900.00} because  XXXX  's payment never processed. When I log into the website, it shows that the payment for  XXXX  was received. I also have emails and bank statements showing the payment was posted. When I asked her to please check the records again, she 'accidentally ' hung up on me. I called right back and got someone else. She tried to tell me that I had a past due balance of over {$500.00}. When I asked for clarification on where she was getting that number, again, I was 'accidentally ' hung up on. I called back again, again, got someone else, who told me that I could not apply for the reduced payment plan. When I told her that 's not what I was told in  XXXX  and  XXXX  and could she please check on the requirements, again, I was 'accidentally ' hung up on. I can not get anyone at Navient to give me the same answer, every person I spoke to gave me a different amount of what was owed, NONE of which matches what is showing as due online when I log into my account. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get anyone there to answer my questions and I do n't know what to do. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Complaint narrative:
I currently have a first mortgage with   Nationstar. We are in the process of applying for financing to purchase a new home ( with another lender ).
Nationstar offe  red me a loan modification in late   XXXX    . I paid the  three trial  payments, and was then permanently modified.     When my new lender pulled my payment history,  the three trial payments for the modification period showed as my loan being in forbearance. My loa n was never in forbearance. This is now holding up my financing process with the new home - which I am about to lose to another buyer.     I have spoken with Nationstar numerous times, and I have also sent numerous emails to their research department ( as instructed ) with NO response.     I just received my most recent statement as well - they have been collecting legal fees from me as well without my knowledge, and for no reason. I finished a successful Chapter  XXXX  in   XXXX   XXXX    , and no legal fees should be due at ALL.     I need help. No one is responding - talking to customer service is absolutely useless.

Complaint narrative:
1 ) M y husband and I moved to Nebraska where Bank of America does NOT have any branches, and I have had technical difficulties setting up auto debit from an external checking account. As a result, I have been charged late fess, my credit limit was lowered, and I believe derogatory information was sent to the credit reporting agencies.      2  ) Auto-debit ( including from third party checking accounts ) is a feature that is advertised on their website.      3 )  I have made many good-faith attempts to set this up on the website, and my last attempt was on  XXXX   XXXX  where I used the online chat feature on the Bank of America website.      4 ) I  gave the operator my routing and account numbers for our  XXXX  checking account.   I requested that he/she debit the payments due from that account, and to setup auto-debit to have recurring payments from said account.   But this did not occur due to " lost network connectivity '', per the phone conversation with "  XXXX  '' and my husband on  XXXX   XXXX .   When I saw that the payments did n't go through as expected in  XXXX , I tried calling the Bank of America number several times, but the hold time was too long ( more tha n 30 minutes ) 5 ) My hu sband finally reached Bank of America on the phone on  XXXX   XXXX  with  XXXX  and the credit card accounts are now current.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On  XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX , I entered into an automatic ACH payment plan to make my account current with Navient. I have been making monthly payments ranging from {$290.00} a month to now {$560.00} a month. I started to receive letters in the mail stating that my Federal Loans were in jeapordy of defaulting. How can that be if I 'm paying over {$560.00} a month? I called Navient customer service and they stated that only my private loans were setup on the ACH payment plan. It was supposed to be the entire account. I stated that during my call to set up the ACH with Navient customer service the call agent stated that my entire account would be brought to current and my interest rate reduced since I was on an automatic ACH.     Not only does Navient offshore their customer service, they do not understand the issues as they are often reading from a script, it is very difficult to get an on-shore Supervisor.     I was finally transferred to  XXXX   (  alleged Supervisor ) who stated that my Federal Loans were not setup on an ACH plan and I would have to do this on the website. He would not do it over the phone. I went over a multitude of issues with  XXXX  regarding the impact to my credit report based off their negligence and handling of my account. I had two different payment due dates for my  Private and Federal  Loans. I made  XXXX  change them to match so I would have my bank drafted for both sets on the same day. My credit report has been severely impacted because of the delinquency they have been reporting for the last 2 years. I asked  XXXX  to remove the delinquency as it was  Navient 's fault and he stated that I had to submit a written dispute to  Navient via mail. I asked if I could fax it as it would still be written and he stated no, it would have to be mailed.  XXXX  then applied a forbearance on my account to bring up my Federal loans to current. He then instructed me to go on to the website and setup my  Federal Loan AC H payments.     I proceeded to setup my Federal Loan ACH automatic payments in  XXXX  and the website showed that I needed to pay {$380.00} because the ACH was being activated too close to the  XXXX  due date. I made the payment of {$380.00} on  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . The website was calculating  XXXX  payments because as of  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX , I do not have an amount due for  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  on my Federal Loans. My  Private Loan  still has a payment scheduled for  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  of {$560.00} The way in which Navient conducts business is utterly unacceptable. I should not have multiple due dates for my student loans. If my account is being addressed, it should be the whole account and not part of the account. Customer service needs to be onshore and not based in  XXXX  where people do not understand the issues.
