Complaint narrative:
I applied for a XXXX XXXX XXXX card by Synchrony Bank which was recommended by XXXX XXXX. I was informed that I was approved and a card would be sent out. When the card arrived I activated it and then pulled the sticker off the card. That is when I noticed it was not a Visa but rather just a XXXX gas card. I called Synchrony customer service and I was informed that during that approval process, I was not approved for the Visa so then sent me the gas card instead. I did not apply or request the gas card nor was I informed of the change. Before I was able to ask follow-up question the call was disconnected. I then contacted them via computer account chat where I directly asked for the complaint/Compliance contact info it was refused. Simply put this is a Bait and Switch scam.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
During my bankruptcy for the mortgage loan the lender has excessive fees. Once caught up these fees were subtracted from the mortgage payments and not as a second payment. They are legal fees and other such fees. 
The current example this ongoing situations is on XX/XX/XXXX, a catch up payment of {$2100.00} was paid via wire transfer to the Mortgage company which covered miss loan payments of XXXX, XXXX and XXXX as advised. However, there was agreement to pay 5 stipulation payments ( their legal fees ) of {$170.00} of which 2 are still owed. The lender shorted the loan catch up payment made on XX/XX/XXXX by {$400.00} toward fees owed. Also, the mortgage payment increased from {$710.00} to {$830.00} which also caused a shortage in the XXXX and XXXX payments. 
Therefore, leaving an under payment and suspense payment amount of {$430.00} which is not enough for a payment. 
With this being the case I am not short on my loan payments with the threat of foreclosure proceedings due the lender saying I owe XXXX, XXXX and XXXX payments. In addition to the XX/XX/XXXX payment I have paid XX/XX/XXXX {$710.00} and XX/XX/XXXX, {$720.00}. 
I have lived in my home since XX/XX/2008 ; and because of the ongoing financial duress with these fees it has been difficult to maintain mortgage payments the payments shortened for fees. Thank you for your assistance with this matter.
