Issue: Loan modification,collection,foreclosure — 
Company: Caliber Home Loans, Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I would like to begin by thanking you for your time and attention to address my concerns. This letter is to explain my recent financial difficulty with paying my mortgage. It started 2013 when I learned my mortgage was increased from {$700.00} to {$1900.00} which is a significant increase. 
This was done without any notice that an increase was going to occur. This caused late payments associated with late fees to my account. I have to mention that I have not received the kind of assistance with saving my home I deserve. I was n't provide all the information regarding loan modification, debt forgiveness, or short refinance which would have certainly taken my loan from inflated to XXXX more manageable within the fair market value of my home. During the time I considered a short sale your on appraiser listed the value of the property as {$80000.00} when I owe at least {$200000.00}. Being that I currently reside in the home it would make more sense to work a person living there than to have it vacant. It seems that there has been a personal attack against me and discriminatory practices by Caliber against XXXX XXXX citizens. When I was in court going through the chapter XXXX deposition a young XXXX female explained to the court recorder that she was forced to surrender her property which was secured by a loan from your Caliber Home Loans as a condition of her bankruptcy. I 'm also aware that a class action lawsuit was filed against Caliber Home Loans Mortgage which has been and still is associated with my account. 
I am seeking Loan Forgiveness, or a mortgage that is in proper standings with a fair market value of my home. As with many people today, it is difficult to maintain a reasonable standard of economic viability when dealing with predatory lenders. 

As recently as the last two months they have been negligent with responding to inquiries from XXXX XXXX / XXXX ( XXXXXXXXXXXX ). She can be reached at the email provided for verification.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Don't agree with fees charged
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
1. I made student loans during period XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX. After graduation on several occasions I was unable to make payments. Particularly during since mid to late XX/XX/XXXX to this present, I made multiple requests to refinance to XXXX and in the latest years Navient ( took over XXXX ) to obtain lower interest rates available. I was repeatedly ignored through the years and denied the opportunity to refinance and save XXXX of dollars in interest payments. Several times I also asked over the phone and was told I simply " could n't do that '' without any real reason or explanation. 
2. Two months ago Navient decided to change my loan to deferment/forbearance staus WITHOUT my request or consent. After my complaint over the phone and threats of filing a federal complaint, they rescheduled my payments to a lower amount, a whooping 8.25 % interest rate, and now I have payments until XX/XX/XXXX! 
3. In addition, they consider the action described in above item # 2 as a " Consolidation '' and of course they have not applied any of the current interest rates which have been below 3 % for the last 8 years or so. 
4. I request to be included as a plaintiff in CFPB 's current federal lawsuit against XXXX/Navient.

Issue: Billing disputes — 
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I 've had serious issues with Comenity Bank rejecting my payments and reporting me late to the credit bureaus over it. I am under hardship programs to get my my balances down, due to the fact that, constant XXXX ups with the and then they claim that it was my bank rejecting the payment. My bank got involved and stated that any rejected payment would have had me paying fees, which, there was not. Some of my accounts would take the payment out just fine, but, then there were others, with the same exact bank number, they stated, the bank rejected. I filed BBB complaints on several times and a lady said she was removing all lanes from my credit report and the late fees. She told me that it would take a few billing cycles for both to clear. She removed the fees but, in the end, decided that she would n't remove the mark on my credit reports. During the year of 2016, many time when I would go and log on to my different accounts, the site would n't allow me to make payment and even, at times, would n't allow me to log in with my correct info. I found that the sites would suddenly work AFTER my due date, which, gave them another reason to apply more late fees. I decided that putting ( XXXX ) of my accounts in a hardship program would help me, because, they would drop my interest rate and I would be able to auto pay with them. This company does NOT offer auto pay on their websites, but, they will if you got on XXXX of their programs. Over the past few months, I noticed that I would get credit report alerts and when I checked, Comenity, even after me being on their hardship programs, would put a late on each month. Now, nowhere in any of the conversations with several customer service representatives did they mention that they would place a late on your credit report as they put you on their program. If that were the case, I would n't of ever signed up. There is even a computer that discloses all that we agree to at the end of the call and it never mentions this. I 've checked online and I have noticed that everything I 've gone through, there are tons of pages of complaints of it being done to others. It is not fair that they punish us and punish us without telling us that in our agreement. I even have the agreement on paper and it never stated that we would be reported to the credit bureau while on the program.

Company: CURO Intermediate Holdings
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
( incorrect issue type, could not find appropriate heading ) I paid off previous loan # XXXX on www.speedycash.com with a one time payment by debit card. I was unaware that this action would automatically save my debit card to the account for future use. Therefore when i renewed the loan, the debit card, in addition to my banking infowas listed in the loan documents. The loan documents indicate a saved debit card will be processed " early in the morning '' on the due date. Although I feel this is not a good practice being all financial institutions do not post direct deposits at the same time, my issue is that the website only allows you to change, not delete the debit card information. This is with a valid ACH bank authorization in place. The loan documents indicate the ACH can be canceled per customer request, but nothing is stated for debit cards.

I recently start new monitoring services with both XXXX and XXXX, I have received multiple alerts that I recently fall behind on payments ; however after I logged into my account, I could not find the source of the alerts without buying a new credit report, since I already get my free report for this month. This morning I received an alert from XXXX after carefully review my report I realized that the reason I was getting this alert with affected my credit score is because the disputed charges were being validated and reported as if they were not only valid but delinquencies.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I called Toyota Motorcredit in reference to an auto loan that I had defaulted on. Prior to my default, I had made consistent payments for approximately 30 out of the 60 month loan agreement. I had a house fire XX/XX/XXXX that claimed my home that I was currently renting as well as all of my familys personal belongings. We left what was left of the home with the clothes on our backs. My daughter XXXX and was admitted to XXXX Hospital for XXXX. This incident made XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( PA ). On XX/XX/XXXX, Tragedy struck yet again.. I was traveling XXXX in XXXX County, PA when I was XXXX ... the end result ... XXXX..Thankfully everyone walked away with XXXX due to the fact that I maintained a safe speed during the accident. Insurance company was going to total the vehicle, After explaining that I was unemployed and currently recieving unemployment, they made the decision to repair the vehicle under the stipulation that 1 ) They pay for 30 days of rental coverage and anything thereafter, I would be responsible. This is when all of my financial troubles began. I did infact hide the car because it was all I had left. My intention was always to pay for my car..but when one month turned into three ... then six ... etc ... I was just too far behind to catch up on my payments which were {$530.00} monthly. At the time I purchased this car I was employed with XXXX XXXX XXXX and made almost {$20.00} hourly so it was affordable ... until I lost my job. XX/XX/XXXX, I used a combination of my school refund check ( XXXX University ) and my income tax from a XXXX. When I made the phone call to Toyota, I was transferred to a different department where I spoke to a female named XXXX, I was never informed that the vehicle had been charged off. She asked how much money I had and I told her XXXX ... We agreed on that amount being sent via XXXX to settle the debt. I was offered the settlement via phone and now it is not being honored. My credit Report reflects that I still owe {$1900.00} and they are refusing to release then title of the vehicle to me. I also was not given the mini-miranda. I need my settlement to be honored and my title to be released to me. I made XXXX % of my payments to Toyota via XXXX and have ALL of my receipts including the final of XXXX. However that payment was split into XXXX as I was advised by the representative that I spoke with to do XXXX for $ XXXX and XXXX right after for $ XXXX. I did exactly what was asked of me to no avail of them holding up their end of the settlement deal. This debt reflects on my CR as a " charge off '' and does not reflect the $ XXXX payment that they recieved on XX/XX/XXXX.

I terminated a vehicle lease on XXXX. I took out a new lease on a new vehicle that same day. Lexus Financial Services continued to electronically withdraw, for the next 2 months, money from my account to apply to the car which was returned even though I was free from further financial obligation, and even though I went online to close their access to electronic withdrawals. They reported me once late as " past due '' payments to the XXXX credit reporting agencies, then circumvented my web account management to take money from me. Over a dozen calls to them get no resolution : promises aplenty, but no resolution. Their various departments at LFS do not seem to be able to communcate with each other effectively to solve what should be an easy issue : termination of XXXX lease and initiation of a second.

Company: FIRST NIAGARA FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
For the first time in roughly 2 years, I had used an old credit card from First Niagara for a charge of {$27.00} on XXXX/XXXX/15. The balance immediately began accruing interest and on XXXX/XXXX/15, I made a payment of the current balance of {$27.00}. The following day, the payment had n't gone thru and the balance accrued another {$0.00} in interest. I spoke to XXXX at First Niagara who advised that the payment takes 48 hours to show but when the payment goes thru it will back date any accrued interest thus wiping them off the balance. Once the payment of {$27.00} finally went thru on XXXX/XXXX/15 the additional interest ( which grew to {$0.00} ) was not wiped off as I was initially promised. I spoke to XXXX again who advised that what he had told me initially was not true and that loan would still accrue interest and payments that take 48 hours to process do not get back dated to the date of the original payment and he refused to remove the additional interest even though he admitted his mistake. He assured me though that the balance would not accrue any further interest so I went ahead and paid the {$0.00} balance. Again, when the payment was processed 48 hours later, there balance had indeed accrued another {$0.00} in interest on XXXX/XXXX/15. That same day I spoke to XXXX at First Niagara who attempted to credit my account the {$0.00} retroactive to the original balance date of XXXX/XXXX/15 which she had done. She also advised that XXXX once again provided me with misleading information in that the balance was still accruing interest. She said that she would freeze the account so that it would no longer accrue interest since it was " clear I was attempting to pay off the card. '' I also paid an additional {$0.00} towards the balance that day in an attempt to pay off the balance once and for all. XXXX my payment and XXXX 's {$0.00} credit went thru and my balance was down to {$0.00} on XXXX/XXXX/15. However, on XXXX/XXXX/15, despite the card having a balance of {$0.00}, it somehow accrued an additional {$0.00} of interest. I called again and this time spoke to Georgia, who tied to tell me that the interest was accruing because I used the card. I explained to her that the balance was {$0.00} and asked how a {$0.00} balance could accrue interest as there was no principal balance. She did not have an explanation for this and stated that she would also credit my account the {$0.00} of interest. I asked Georgia to cancel this card because of the aggravation it was causing and seemingly impossible nature to pay it off. It was also disheartening to receive so much misleading information from the representatives that I had spoken with.
