Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Since XXXX XXXX, 2017 I started submitting all requirements for Loan Modification to XXXX XXXX XXXX, that they are seemingly trying to modify my loan, at the same time, trying to fail my attempt to avail the government Loan Modification benefits and incentives for homeowners like us. The modification department of XXXX XXXX XXXX is working on a modification for us. I complied already with all their requirements. While the modification was pending, I was advised that I needed again to send additional and continuously documents for the modification to be approved and they always said that it is still in the underwriter for review but it is already eight ( 8 ) months until to this date, I still kept on sending documents at this point with the hope that they will process my Loan Modifications. I always communicated Ocwen regarding the status of my Loan Modification processing and they kept on denying my Loan Modification request in which means that they are not abiding under the HAMP Program, so we can stay in our home and exercise our rights for Federal Housing Affordable Loan Modification. We are requesting their approval for remedies available at law by recouping and their mortgage servicing doesnt want to accept my request for Loan Modification. I had complied with Ocwen requirements for Loan Modification processing. We are in the verge of completing all requirements to finalize our Request for Mortgage Assistance ''. Ocwen have not dealt to me in good faith until this moment.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX owner of my XXXX grand mothers home. Her legal address of the subject property is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Fl. XXXX. I sold the home to the same purchaser over 12 months ago. From that time the bank without my permission accessed the home with their preservation team, cut down and mowed down thousands of dollars of plants and trees after we called the police twice, filed reports and my realtor notified their preservation team and their contractor MM mortgage. From that time the bank has agreed to a settlement for damages but Im waiting for them to settle. Furthermore the bank came back with a very inflated counter offer to the purchaser which was unsubstantiated from an appraisal standpoint. The purchase offer is {$260000.00}. The bank came back at {$330000.00}. Which I refuted and worked very closely with XXXX XXXX department head XXXX XXXX for over 3 1/2 months getting their own contractors bids to show there is over {$120000.00} worth of structural repairs needed for the property including roof decking, shingles, termite damage, under ground plumbing damage, mold, flooring, upgraded electrical service, kitchen and bath room remodeling etc. The 1st appraisal showed {$25000.00} in upgrades at the {$330000.00}. Price. Ounce we established the Home needs over {$120000.00}. As per Bayveiws own contractors bids, the bank still refused to reduce the price to meet the buyers offer. Can you please help me!!!!! 
Obviously something is very ascew. 
Thank you, XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: BB&T CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I have tried to find a way to fix XXXX overdraft fee caused by one transaction with BB & T. But, they insisted this is not banking error. What happened is my checking account has balance of {$190.00} on XXXX. I set up a electronic debit of XXXX on XXXX. BB & T charged me a XXXX dollars overdraft fee because they mentioned my autosdraft of XXXX dollars on XXXX is in pending mode on XXXX and my balance is not enough for XXXX. Then, the pending XXXX dollars finally appeared on my account on XXXX caused another XXXX dollars. So, My XXXX dollars balance does not even have enough for XXXX of XXXX transaction. This is not fair to a general bank consumer like me because : 1. My online bank information on XXXX does not indicate I have less than XXXX with a pending transaction. 
2/ Even though the first overdraft fee is legit due to the pending status, the second overdraft fee does not make sense just because the same transaction goes from pending to posted. 

I am still very positive this is a banking error. But, BB & T does not want to admit this because they simply do n't want to hurt their reputation. Their complain resolving team even tried to convince me about this using their service agreement and it took her XXXX minutes to get the terms for the first overdraft fee. But, she ca n't even find the second overdraft fee is caused by status changed from pending to posted in their term. Here is what I see from my online banking transaction : Date Description Check # Type Amount XXXX XXXX, XXXX Posted Balance : {$91.00} XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX NC BB & T XXXX CHECK DEPOSIT Credit {$200.00} XXXX XXXX, XXXX Posted Balance : - {$100.00} XXXX/XXXX/XXXX OVERDRAFT FEE Debit {$36.00} XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX KS XXXX XXXX CARD RECURRING PYMT POS {$43.00} XXXX XXXX, XXXX Posted Balance : - {$28.00} XXXX/XXXX/XXXX OVERDRAFT FEE Debit {$36.00} XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX Debit {$190.00} XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX Posted Balance : {$190.00} XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX RECURRING XXXX PAYMENT Debit {$300.00} XXXX/XXXX/XXXX PAYROLL XXXX XXXX IN XXXX XXXX XXXX ACH CREDIT Credit {$500.00}

Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: Alliant Capital Management LLC
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I have had my credit card with XXXX XXXX XXXX for less than two weeks. I started making payments on the card after making purchases because I purchase more than my credit limit in a month. I accidentally put in the wrong account number from my financial institution and realized my payments were not going through. I called XXXX XXXX XXXX to inform them of the issue. After holding for hours and being transferred over and over and calling them on 5 different occasions they finally told me to call back at the end of the week after the payments have been returned. I called them today XXXX/XXXX/2017 and I opened my account with them in early XXXX. My payment still is not due and I have n't even received a statement because my account has only been open for a couple weeks and I was notified that they sent me to a collection agency and closed my account. 

I did not receive a phone call back or any written notice despite the fact that I tried to reach out to them multiple times and spent hours on the phone with them. I was the one that found out that there was an issue with my account information for my payment and I called them to notify them. I have been treated very unfairly and they have not responded to any of my inquiries and after promising to call me back I have not heard back from them at all. I am very upset with their treatment of me and with the overall lack of professionalism. It is extremely unfair that they have closed my accounts and sent me to a collection agency after I have been desperately trying to correct this as soon as I found out and that I received no notifications or anything. Again I have n't even gotten billed yet because my account is two weeks old. I am in shock that a company is allowed to operate in this manner and possibly mess up my credit score with no warning and within a couple of weeks of opening my account. I was transferred from one person to another with no one able to assist me and spent hours on the phone on hold.

Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I filed bankruptcy XXXX and was XXXX XXXX. My online account was restricted with Santander and upon calling in to check my balance, employees had no access. After being discharged from bankruptcy. I could see my account was delinquent. I started making regular payment. XXXX. I had no statement or access to my account, but I still made a payment. My vehicle was repossessed XX/XX/XXXX w/o notice which is fine. The problem lies in the fact that after I called to make arrangements to bring my account current, I was told Santander could not confirm that my vehicle had been repossessed. I blindly paid what I owed. I called XX/XX/XXXX to make sure my payment had been processed and I could retrieve my vehicle. The payment had been processed, but there was no formal repossession paperwork so they could not release my vehicle until Santander formally filed the repossession. I spoke with 4 different entities regarding picking up my vehicle. First I was told it was local, and then XXXX NY ... Etc. Finally given the # of the storage facility it was closed. I feel like this has been poorly handled and would like to file a formal complaint. Santander picked up my vehicle XX/XX/XXXX without filing out the proper paperwork or giving proper notice and still have not gone on record to say to me that they repossessed my car. The bankruptcy department has never spoken with me.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX, XXXX On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I received a response from NationStar Mortgage XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX. After further review with XXXX XXXX, we were advised that the account was settled in full on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and that the credit report will be updated in XXXX XXXX. 

Upon information and belief, this meant the account would reflect account settled in full. The account today XXXX/XXXX/XXXX reads settled in full for less than the total balance. 

This is the second time I was advised the account would report to the credit bureau as settled in full. The first time was on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX  writes These payments will be posted to your account and will be accepted on the above balance as settled in full, with no future liability to you once completed. '' See enclosed document. 

The words used XXXX XXXX in their documents difficult for some consumers like me to understand. For example, the word settled for me mean the account is to be settled in full. with no future liability to you once completed said that paying a settlement amount would have no adverse effect on ones credit history. 

I was misled to believe having a settlement would have no adverse effect on my credit. It is important to note from XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I made payments every month. 
The simple words settled in full and the words added to the end of the sentence for less than the full balance '' to be a ray of sunshine for most consumers. 

Most consumers this would be followed by a conversation with XXXX what those words meant and allow for the consumer to make an informed decision as to how to proceed most welcoming. 

XXXX written words need to be explicit. The words " for less than the full balance in all necessary documents. The cost to the consumer for XXXX XXXX not to be forthcoming to be a seven-year- thunderstorm over the consumers head painfully. I would like XXXX XXXX Nationstar Mr. Cooper to update my credit as agreed on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, letter to say the account was settled in full.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern : I am filing a complaint against : Equifax Credit Bureau, XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Ga XXXX, for inaccurate information and not following the law, FDCPA section 807 ( 8 ) and  FCRA section 623 ( a ) ( 3 ). I have attached multiply registered letter to both Equifax and XXXX XXXX, XXXX As well as the only papers I have ever received from XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 
What am I looking for you might ask? Information such as a copy of the original contract that they say I physically signed, supposedly agreeing to their payment terms when I opened this account. 

Not only have they ( XXXX XXXX, XXXX. ) failed to furnish me with a signed contract of monies they say I own, they ( XXXX XXXX , XXXX. ) continue to put remarks on my credit file via Equifax Credit Bureau. I have sent several certified registered letters to them asking for signed contract of debt. They have only sent me information generated invoice from their company. 

Verified : The collection agency may provide you with what they call proof, such as an itemized printout of what they claim is your account or billing statement. The FTC has issued an article on this subject, and concludes that an itemized printout does not represent verification. 
Unverifiable - you may want proof that a debt collector has the right to collect from you, and you find out that they dont have your original hand- signed contract on file anymore - paperwork gets lost. No proof of contract means no authority to report or collect from you. 

I also sent Equifax Credit Bureau information about the company in question. Equifax has not been so forth coming, saying that they have spoken with and validated the information to be true. Yet I still have not received any evidence to prove that fact. 

I would appreciate any help in this matter would be great. This matter has been going on for over a year now. 

Thank you Reference to : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, FL XXXX

Company: Guild Holdings Company
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2017 I applied for a mortgage with Guild Mortgage. I needed this approval in order to write a contract on a home I wanted to purchase. I did a complete application online allowing the mortgage company to run my credit. I also provided the loan officer all of my financials, tax returns, paystubs, XXXX, and bank statements. The loan officer was also provided a copy of the purchase contract from the builder, as I ended up writing an offer. I was never provided a copy of my loan estimate or disclosures, so they are in clear violation of TRID.The loan officer told me I was pre-approved and qualified to purchase the home. I gave the builder close to {$10000.00} earnest money and attempted to satisfy my approval conditions over the last 3 months which included paying off debt and liquidating funds from my 401k for the down payment. The home is new construction and is supposed to be complete in XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, I called the loan officer knowing I would need to update my financials, and found out he decided not to process my loan and had shredded my information. I was never informed of this and never requested them to cancel the loan. Now they are telling me since they did n't process the loan in XXXX upon my initial application ( which is also a violation ), I 'm not really approved and can not approve me at this time. I am going to lose my earnest money, penalties I incurred on the withdrawal of my 401k funds, and I have paid off liabilities that did not need to be paid off, which put my in a hard spot.I have tried to call the managers there, and they said there is nothing they can do. Unfortunately, the only paperwork I have is a prequal letter since they never provided my any further paperwork
