Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My issue is that I continue to get billed for interest charges on an account that has been closed since XXXX 2016. This account was opened for an order that was cancelled. Upon cancelling the order, I 'm not sure why the charge for the XXXX membership remained but once I became aware of it, I paid it including the late fee it assessed for a total of {$21.00}. 

I spoke with your customer service team in XXXX and was told that upon paying the {$21.00}, my bill would be settled but it 's not as the interest charges continue to accrue. When I call XXXX, they tell me I need to deal with Comenity Bank and when I 've called your customer service, they can not understand why the charges have accrued and tell me to call XXXX. 
I 've sent certified letters to Comenity and also contacted XXXX via email but have not received a response and the interest keeps accruing on my account without being able to speak with someone that can resolve it.

Complaint narrative:
I was approved for a XXXX Trial Payment Plan in XXXX 2016 by Ocwen Loan Servicing , LLC . First payment was due on XXXX/XXXX/2016. I called my relationship manager, XXXX XXXX, last Thursday on XXXX/XXXX/2016 asking if my payment could be made by phone or electronically. I did not receive a return call from XXXX XXXX. When I call Ocwen 's customer service, I get the voicemail of XXXX XXXX. I looked at my account online and Ocwen does not show my payment has been received. XXXX XXXX is out of the office due to weather issues in the XXXX XXXX XXXX area. I have sent email communication today, XXXX/XXXX/2016, to XXXX XXXX to find out if my payment has been received. 
According to the documents received by Ocwen, " Trial Period '' payments must be received on or prior tot he XXXX day following the due date provided on each coupon. I would like to make sure my payment has been received. I mailed my payment on XXXX between XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX at the post office. I went to Ocwen 's website to provide the details of my payment earlier this week. Payment was mailed to the following address : Ocwen Loan Servicing , LLC, Box # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX Check # is XXXX in the amount of {$3200.00}. I am not sure how often this mailbox is checked for payments and how long it takes to process these payments. I have been unable to reach anyone from Ocwen to discuss my concerns on the receipt of my payment. My prayer is that payments are processed in a timely manner so that we qualify for a permanent modification and that Ocwen does not delay the processing of our payment.

Complaint narrative:
OCWEN has once again badly lowered my credit score. They fixed it back to normal except for XXXX, which they continued to bicker with and blame. XXXX blamed Ocwen. 
Today my XXXX score also dropped drastically from good to bad. OCWEN knows they are preventing me from getting a fair personal loan to pay for my XXXX that are not covered by his insurance. They know they just stopped me from getting a loan to treat termites that I was planning to do next week. They keep causing my credit score to drop drastically as they keep changing how they report my loan. Now they are reporting to XXXX XXXX that it is no longer my loan. They are hurting me and my XXXX son. I have NEVER been late on a loan payment the entire six years I have paid this loan but they keep injuring me and my son anyway.

Ocwen has reported my mortgage two months behind to XXXX or more of the credit bureaus. The result, is I was denied the opportunity to open up a credit card account with XXXX more companies. 

My mortgage was recently modified, and I made all of the payments required. Ocwen repeatedly violates the Fair Reporting Act by erroneously reporting late payments when in fact during the process of a modification payments are placed on hold. These continuous violations create a financial hardship on me and I need them to be corrected immediately to avoid any further harm.

Complaint narrative:
Once again, FOR THE NINTH CONSECUTIVE MONTH, the incompetents at Ocwen are screwing up my account. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent my XXXX XXXX payment in the amount of {$1000.00}, Ocwen Tracking number XXXX. On the same date, I sent an additional principal payment of {$1100.00}, Ocwen tracking number XXXX. The MORONS at Ocwen credited both amounts to additional principal. As of today, they have noted on their web page for my account that the XXXX XXXX payment is past due and have added a late charge. Since XX/XX/XXXX they have failed to properly account for the funds I submit EACH AND EVERY MONTH, until I contact them and tell them how to do their job. This is gross negligence and incompetence. THERE IS NO OTHER RATIONAL, LEGITIMATE EXCUSE.

I was a student at XXXX XXXX XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. A school official applied for a Peaks Student Loan ( Private ) in my name providing an e signed loan application for {$21000.00}. The loan was obtained for the school period of XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, a period for which I was not enrolled ( documentation provide by the school registrar ). I had no knowledge of the loan until learning that I had been turned over to a collection agency about a year ago. When I requested debt validation, the debt collection agency ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) was only able to provide a copy of the loan application with no transcripts or master promissory note. All attempts to resolve have proven unsuccessful. With fraud report ( police ) and verification none of the partied involved will accept responsibility or liability for the actions of whomever applied for this loan. I have spoken to XXXX XXXX the loan servicer, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( the current collections ), and a representative of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX SC .

Company: NATIONWIDE ACCEPTANCE LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I contacted Nationwide Southeast LLC to inquire about a letter I received over the past weekend from Nationwide Southeast LLC about my payment being past due. They informed me my {$210.00} payment was due XXXX XXXX, 2016 and now I owed $ XXXX.+ due to a past due amount. I informed them the car I purchased XXXX XXXX, 2016 was involved in an accident around XXXX XXXX, 2016 and the car was a total loss. I paid the payment in XX/XX/XXXX knowing the insurance claim would not have been processed by the payment due date. The insurance company sent a payment of $ XXXX.+ They confirmed they received that payment on XXXX XXXX, 2016 and it " went towards the balance, '' however, I still owed for the " payment due. '' I asked why the insurance payment was not used for a payment that would have been due XXXX XXXX, 2016. They stated it went towards the balance, but I still owed the payment due amount. I asked again why the insurance payment would not go towards both a balance and payment due. Of course it was a circular conversation at that point. 
I am filing a complaint because they are concrete in their explanation and it does not make sense to have a very much reduced balance that is not considered to have sufficed for the XXXX XXXX, 2016 payment. I called today to ask for a breakdown of how my payments have been used to pay against the balance. They stated they had to mail it to me because it is not their policy to email or fax that information. This will cause more interest to accrue against me. I do not mind paying the payment, however by the end of the month the GAP claim should provide the remaining balance to be paid and I am concerned that if I over pay, I may not get a refund in a timely manner or in the amount that would actually be due back to me. 
My view is that a reasonable resolution would be for this to not reflect negatively against my credit, and for the payment due on XXXX XXXX, 2016 to be considered the $ XXXX.+ amount sent by the insurance company.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation

Complaint narrative:
Ocwen Loan Servicing , LLC has been since XX/XX/XXXX playing a game with the mortgage of our home. Since XX/XX/XXXX despite the monthly checks in the correct amount of each monthly payment they have rejected them, stating there is an escrow, because we had an insurance company with another company besides them -- something in which has been done since the loan originated, therefore NO ESCROW was ever on the original account. Then recently when XXXX payments sent in the amount ( s ) of {$1600.00} and {$2900.00}, after confirming with the XXXX that the Priority Letter Package was received with a signature in return, I call to check on this and I get told they have only the {$2900.00} and have sent a foreclosure notice. We have XXXX loans with them, and it has only been until recently out of 14 years they have started playing games and I document everything, the names they use, which are never in XXXX, not that I am against XXXX however the employee ID 's they provide never match, the FAX numbers they provide according to XXXX " supervisor '' is correct and the next " supervisor '' they are incorrect or the same " supervisor '' will backtrack and try to cover up and say " If I told you that, I was mistaken that is the correct and proper working FAX at this time/or/most current FAX number at this time. " This company is anticipating on their consumers to not write names or numbers down or keep an accurate record of dates and times. They have held on this XXXX account only our checks each month for more than 4 weeks ( the law states 14 business days max ) then either cashes them and waits for them bounce if you forget they were out there ( error made XXXX ) and or send them back to you and tell you they can not cash them because of a false balance on your account, accruing more late fees.

My mortgage company Ocwen offered me a trial plan XX/XX/2013 under the HAMP program. I made all the trial payments, then made additional payments at the trial plan amount. They told me the modification was being generated. Then they told me the modification was denied and that I had to apply again. They did not give me a reason why the modification was denied. Now they are denying me saying that the investor does n't participate in HAMP. They refuse to give me any proof that my investor does not participate.

Complaint narrative:
The Ocwen Loan Servicing , LLC company sent me a letter saying that my insurance coverage is insufficient because my " deductible exceeds permitted maximum. '' This is inaccurate. I called and actually they are just trying to sell me THEIR insurance coverage by trying to confuse me into thinking I am insufficiently covered by my present company. The letter also includes " Important Bankruptcy Information '' and says it is a communication from a debit collector. We have ALWAYS been in good standing and have no financial problems. I believe this company is fishing through its customers, threatening them, and trying to get insurance business in an unethical manner.

Complaint narrative:
I was denied for HAMP program on XXXX/XXXX/2015 ( See attached letter ). My attorney requested the NPV chart tied to that Making Home Affordable Program ( HAMP ) review and Ocwen states I was not denied for NPV so they are not required to issue the NPV chart to the me. If I was actually reviewed for HAMP, then I want the NPV chart to make sure the correct values were used as I believe I qualify. The only conclusion I can come to is that Ocwen is blocking me from review for HAMP and HAMP 2. or the investor of myloan is not partivipating in HAMP. However, Ocwen states my investor is participating in HAMP and that I was reviewed for HAMP and I simply do not qualify. My attorney has run the NPV on check my NPV web site and it comes back positive ( See attached ). I do understand that there are variables that can change with each investor, but I do not understand why Ocwen refuses to give me the NPV and disclose the numbers they used in the HAMP review. Ocwen is evading issuing me the NPV chart after denying me for HAMP and HAMP 2. My attorney believes the program ( HAMP ) requires servicers to issue the NPV chart if they deny a borrower for the HAMP program. I was offered a regular modification with worse terms than I would be offered with HAMP. It appears Ocwen is doing this on purpose and they are unwilling to review me for HAMP and isssue the actual ( NPV ) findings solely to offer me a worse deal with worse terms which I can not afford.

Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, we went onto our mortgage servicer 's website, Ocwen loan servicing to check to see if the information they have was correct. We noticed the last time Ocwen reported to the credit bureaus was on XXXX. We also noticed that we had no information prior to XXXX XXXX. In XXXX of the credit history reports, it reflects that Ocwen notified the credit bureaus a XXXX on XXXX & XXXX XXXX, when were were not late. We sent our payments to Ocwen by certified mail after we received our HAMP modification in the beginning of XXXX. Ocwen also shows that we have no payment history for XXXX XXXX, XXXX thru XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX to present. Please review our payment history printout. As you can see, from the payment history report that was printed on XXXX, we paid Ocwen on time since XXXX. Please review all enclosed documents. On XXXX, we called Ocwen to have these issues corrected but Ocwen failed to accurately report once again to all the credit bureaus. On XXXX, we went back on Ocwen 's website and printed up more documents. As you can see, Ocwen changed our credit reports and is now showing, no payment history available from XXXX XXXX & prior which is incorrect when we made our mortgage payments every month and on time ever since we had received our HAMP modification in XXXX. Per CFPB request, we can provide documentation that we made our payments and on time! If this occurs, Ocwen must be held responsible for my time/costs to locate all the documents! On the new credit history report from Ocwen, it reflects no history in XXXX, no payment history available from XXXX to XXXX XXXX, XXXX to XXXX XXXX. Enclosed are copies of the reports printed from XXXX website along with the credit bureaus reports for XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX along with a HAMP modification that was executed in the beginning of XXXX. Again, we sent all of our mortgage payments to Ocwen by certified mail every month and they were on time. Ocwen loan servicing has failed to comply by the law ( s ). Ocwen has failed to report our mortgage loan by law to all of the credit bureau 's on time ( monthly ) and accurately. Ocwen and it 's affiliates must be held accountable for their actions but not limited to the following ; fines being imposed, loss of business license, criminal charges, lawsuit. By Ocwen not reporting on time and accurately, Ocwen has damaged our credit history/rating ( fico scores ) causing us not to be able to get a loan. We request that Ocwen loan servicing correct these issues and report accurately going all the way back to XXXX, to all of the credit bureaus immediately.
