Issue: Closing/Cancelling account — 
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
As part of a divorce and bankruptcy proceedings in the Fall of XXXX, i notified XXXX XXXX XXXX that XXXX XXXX needed to be removed from the account before she filed for bankruptcy in XXXX of XXXX. Since i was no longer responsible for this account per the divorce agreement, this account was not included in the bankruptcy. I was sent a form, which my ex husband and i filled out and returned prior to her bankruptcy proceeding. 

Following the discharge of her bankruptcy late last year, I pulled her credit report. i informed my ex husband i was still on the account. During XXXX and XXXX he incurred several late payments, before paying the entire balance in XXXX XXXX The account is still reflected on my credit bureau along with the late payment behavior from my ex husband. 

My ex husband called on this initially in XXXX and was directed to a department that said this would be handled. He was told that it could take 30 days to correct. At this time nothing has been corrected. He called back and was told that they ca n't even transfer him to the correct department due to the fact that the account has been closed for too long. I was directed to address correspondence to this address. 

Barclays responded that there was not an error in reporting. They purposely have ignored court documents specifying i was no longer responsible for the account. This was communicated to them in XXXX, followed up in XXXX and then again in XXXX when i realized it was never corrected. 

i am a single divorced female with children trying to reestablish my credit after bankruptcy ( which was discharged in XXXX XXXX and should be removed from my bureau in XXXX XXXX - 7 years after filing ). The delinquencies from the credit card account i am referencing are leading to higher interest rates and increased auto insurance rates. We followed Barclays request for information and they have intentionally ignored court documents indicating i am no longer responsible for this account. I could have easily included it in the Bankruptcy in XXXX and not been responsible for the account but due to the legal documentation in the divorce papers it was not included. 

if you need divorce documents please contact me.

Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
SLS recently began servicing my loan when the IR reset causing my payment to double. So starting in XX/XX/2016 I began submitting all of the required documentation to have the loan modified. Since this time the experiences I have encountered have made me lose confidence in their ability to execute loan modifications timely. Today is XX/XX/XXXX and I just got another call stating the XXXX doc that I sent back in XXXX is now invalid because the date is old. Furthermore, they told me the XXXX submitted for the co-borrower was also invalid when in fact just a few weeks prior they confirmed it was fine. It appears every 15 days or so they contact me to tell me about another random document that was n't requested up front is now needed and if I do n't send it I wont qualify. I have been very responsive when it comes to providing the necessary documentation but these long delays between calls and these random requests for documents that were not requested up front need to stop. In addition my single point of contact is 'bullying ' by stating [ with attitude ] that the mod wont get done if do n't supply the documentation. I do understand this but the aggression she showed is class-less. 
I am struggling to pay my mortgage and need a decision ASAP on if I qualify for a loan modification. I am borrowing money to keep the loan from going 60 DPD but it is becoming increasingly harder to make the payment. Based on these poor experiences I now believe SLS is purposely delaying the execution of mortgage assistance because the MHA program has ended and so has the Obama administration. this perceived negligence needs to stop and I only hope the CFPB can help end the madness. I think it is safe to assume hundreds ( if not thousands ) of other customers who have SLS servicing their loan are facing the same situation. I take confidence knowing the long reach of the CFPB and thank XXXX almost daily for their existence. Please help

Complaint narrative:
I just called and spoke to a representative by the name of XXXX, ID # XXXX, and she confirmed that the document, which is my XXXX XXXX Bank statement, her department actually received it on XXXX XXXX, 2015. She did not understand how a supervisor or her other fellow employees that I 've spoke to over the past could not locate it. She was nice to clear all of the security issues. At that time, she informed me that her company, Barclay Bank were going to approve me for a {$2500.00} credit card. I explained to XXXX that I was originally approved for a {$4000.00} credit card. This is when she transferred me over to the credit card customer service department and I spoke to a rep by the name of XXXX. XXXX informed me that he could not issue me a credit card at this time because he felt like I had not enough credit when in actuality, I have over 6 years worth of credit showing on my credit report. 
It was just very frustrating to wait for almost 4 months for XXXX Bank 's security department to locate all of my personal information only to be transferred to this rep in the credit card department for him to tell me that I do n't qualify for any of their many credit cards. 
Why would the same credit card department originally approve me for a {$4000.00} credit card back in XXXX on to have told me on XXXX XXXX that I do n't qualify. 
I called the President 's office of Barclay Bank right now and tried to speak to XXXX, but he was on vacation and would n't be returning back to work not until Monday so the rep I was speaking to transferred me to the manager of the credit card department. 
XXXX, which is the manager in the credit department is re-reviewing my application again and she is claiming because I do n't have enough credit history. She informed me that her departments does not just look at the credit score, or the fact that I 've never been late on any of my student loans, or car note, or anything like that ; that was still not good enough for me to obtain a credit card through their company. 
I 've never heard of any bank state that they do n't go off of credit scores to determine eligibility for a credit card. 
I wanted to cancel my application on many occasions but I was told that I could not cancel because I was approved. I was told this by supervisors in the security department as well as reps in he security department. 
I really just do n't understand why I was sent through that long process only to be told that I did not get approved. 
This should have been told to me at the beginning. I would not have been wasting my time or theres!

As part of earlier settlement with XXXX for In-App purchase, my XXXX old daughter had used a game on my wife phone which was tied to XXXX credit card. When we reached XXXX, they said they would reverse the charges. Somehow the charges on XXXX of credit card was not reversed. They continue to add financial charges and late fee.

From initial charge of {$70.00} to {$700.00} with late fee. They have reported it to credit bureau and spoiled my credit score. Now they have turned the debit over to collectors who are constantly calling. I have called XXXX and unfortunately XXXX will not talk with Credit card company. As a consumer I feel frustrated after wasting a lot of time.

Company: Mercedes Benz Financial Services

Complaint narrative:
I had a new car lease in XXXX with Mercedes Benz Financial Services ( MBFS ). When I picked up the car, I made a payment, for what I thought was for XXXX - XXXX XXXX. During that period I was encouraged to go " paperless '' and make my payment online. I opted to do this. I made my payment for XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX ( when I traded the car in ) on time via their online payment system. When we turned it in in XXXX XXXX, I was told that I owed XXXX more payment, and I made that payment. I was told at the dealership that we were paid in full. In XXXX XXXX, I received a call from the MBFS that I still owed one additional payment, and XXXX of accrued late charges. At that time, I asked for the details regarding what I owed, and I was told that they switched systems, and that they would get back to me with the details. In XXXX XXXX, MBFS called me and said the same thing. I asked them to check their notes, since I never received the information I requested. Then, on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I had a conversation with XXXX at MBFS. She said that she was going to send out the details I requested. After talking with XXXX, I was satisfied that a deferred lease payment was due. At that time, I offered to pay it over the phone with a debit card. However, I told XXXX that the late charges were still in dispute, since I did not receive the details I requested. XXXX did not want to take the payment at that time, she was going to get the details and call me back. I never heard back from XXXX. My wife and I started to receive calls from a collection agency XXXX regarding this debt. MBFS is willing to reduce the amount of late charges only if we accept a settlement, which will be reported. Since I did not receive notification of this late, which was accrued for 26 months out of the 36 months of on-time payments, I do not feel that I should be obligated to pay it. I have paid the late charges in full in order to stop the collection and negative effects to my credit, even though I do not believe I owed them. I would like to get refund.

Ever since the " enhancement '', it has been a nightmare. They have continually admitted it is their fault, and have promised it will be fixed. It has not. I received a notice of a negative rating on my credit report for missed mortgage payments. Ditech insisted they never sent anything to the credit bureaus. we are at our wits end with this situation. we keep getting letters in the mail urging us to get credit counceling.

They have sent documentation to my representative and now state that they can not speak with them. This is holding up my process for resolution and causing more financial hardship.

My brother and his wife had a mortgage with Ditech Financial LLC. On XXXX XXXX, 2016 they both were XXXX at their home. There are no children, no will, and no money. Despite having provided Ditech with copies of their death certificates, Ditech continues to send form letters addressed to them. I have sent several letters to them asking them to stop. The last letter from Ditech was addressed to my deceased brother telling him they are sorry for his loss and explaining what his spouse needs to do to get information on the account. There are times when form letters are useful and other times when they are inappropriate and hurtful. When I called Ditech a customer representative told me they are " required by law '' to send these communications. While that may be the case, they need to acknowledge the obvious truth in this situation : their customers are both DEAD and there is neither a will nor any surviving children.
