Issue: Managing the loan or lease — 
Company: Exeter Finance, LLC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Back in XXXX I was made aware that Exeter Finance Corp reported my account delinquent 30 days or more past due for my XXXX & XXXX 2015 payment. I called and spoke with a CSR and through that conversation realized that they were missing a payment that I made. I was told that I need to send documentation of the payment being cleared. Within a week I sent in my bank statement showing the payment was made with my debit card and cleared. I continued to follow up on the status of the update for weeks and was unsuccessful. Thirty days past and finally I decided to report the company to the XXXX and I filed a complaint. After a couple back and fourth responses the company applied my missing payment to my Exeter Finance Account. As I was going through that ordeal the company again reported my account past due for XXXX & XXXX although I made my payment for XXXX was granted a three month extension for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX ( which I later found out was not true, I was only granted a two month extension therefore the CSR provided me false information ). I called again asking what was this about and was told this time that the wrong payment information was given and that my payment did not clear the bank. I have a letter from my bank as well as my bank statement for the month in question of the payment. Not only was there sufficient funds for the payment to have cleared the account, my bank has provided me with a letter stating that there was no attempt that came through from Exeter Finance to obtain payment. I repeatedly ask for Exeter to update my credit file as to not being past due because again as with my misapplied payment that caused this issue from the beginning there was clearly an issue processing my XXXX payment as well. I have been unsuccessful in getting this issue rectified. It is simply not fair that a company can make a mistake no fault to the consumer and there is nothing that the consumer can do to protect their credit history. I have actual documentation, all I have heard from them are words filled with inaccuracy but they have yet to provide me with the information of what account number they allegedly attempted to process my payment. It could have been a case of system or human error that process the wrong information, however that is no fault to me the consumer and I should not have to reap the negative consequence of it. I have the responses made from the company Exeter through the XXXX that are filled with errors of information of what took place and dates as well. I simply want the company to retract the reporting of XXXX XXXX payment being over 30 days past due. They have made several errors and this has gone way too far at this point with no resolution. In addition to all of this, after requesting a ledger of statement account of my payment history, it took the company over 45 days to send it to me. That was just unacceptable.

Company: Flagstar Bank, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX I lost my job, the account became delinquent in XXXX of XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX I contacted Flagstar in an attempt to bring the account current. Flagstar instructed me to contact Loss Mitigation, which I did in XXXX of XXXX. At this time I submitted the requested information to XXXX XXXX XXXX as instructed by Loss Mitigation. Flagstar contacted me and informed me that they were no longer working with Loss Mitigation. I believe that this is the point in which the account became entangled with multiple departments. Loss Mitigation instructed me to continue making payments, which I did. In XXXX of XXXX my payment was rejected and foreclosure proceedings were initiated. I continued to contact Flagstar to try and remedy the account. I was now dealing with Flagstar and XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, LLP as the foreclosure representative. I retained an attorney and neither my attorney nor I were able to get payoff information from Flagstar or XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, LLP after repeated requests. I finally got a payoff amount and paid the loan and legal fees in full. 

I believe that at the point that Flagstar ceased working with XXXX XXXX XXXX my account became entangled in Flagstar system and therefore foreclosure proceedings began. Was I able to complete the home retention program then the foreclosure would not have been initiated and it would not be on my credit report. My attorney requested a refund for over payments totaling {$20.00}, XXXX and got no response. I repeatedly requested a refund for the over payments and received a partial refund of {$5400.00} on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I repeatedly requested an accounting of the account and all I ever received was a letter that stated they applied payments to my account. They refunded the {$5400.00} as a " good faith '' effort. 

I am requesting that due to the circumstances described above and that I was working in good faith with Flagstar as instructed that the negative foreclosure information currently on my credit report for Experian, Equifax and TransUnion be removed. I am also requesting that I am refunded the additional {$14000.00} ( {$20000.00} - {$5400.00} ). I would also like to be awarded damages from the settlement announced in XXXX XXXX.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
My mortgage is currently held by Freedom Mortgage. My wife and I are refinancing our home with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). Included in the payoff statement from XXXX Mortgage is an 'Accrued Interest ' of {$1100.00}, a 'Bill Fee ' of {$30.00}, and a 'Recording Fee ' of {$86.00}. I asked XXXX why these fees are on my payoff statement as I believe I should only have to pay off the principal of my loan. XXXX is already charging me a {$93.00} Recording Fee. My mortgage was originally financed my Directors Mortgage and my mortgage includes a statement I will pay no repayment fees for paying off the mortgage early. XXXX told me I would have to contact Freedom Mortgage myself for an explanation. 

I was able to deduce the 'Accrued Interest ' is the interest Freedom Mortgage is due up until my refinancing with XXXX takes effect. But I contacted Freedom Mortgage to explain the 'Bill Fee ' and 'Recording Fee '. I spoke with a woman named XXXX, employee number XXXX. It was a heated conversation. XXXX told me everyone pays these fees. I asked XXXX if I need the payoff statement to payoff my loan early with Freedom Mortgage, she said yes. I then asked her if there is anyway to get the statement without paying the {$30.00} fee. She refused to answer. I told her if there is no way to pay off the loan without paying these fees then they are pay off fees and thus not allowed. She refused to agree. I asked her what government agency I could file a complaint with. XXXX told me I could file a complaint with the XXXX. When I pointed out the XXXX is a private organization she said she did n't have to tell me what government agency I could file a complaint with. 

I believe Freedom Mortgage is charging me a payoff penalty and trying to mask it by calling it a 'Bill Fee ' and 'Recording Fee '.

Company: Avant Credit Corporation
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I applied for and was approved for a loan with Avant Credit on or around XXXX of 2014. At time of approval, the interest rate/terms were not disclosed, nothing was signed on paper. Ive been making timely payments via their website and just noticed their interest rate of 35.9 % is unusually high. Because of this high rate, the payments I 've made thus far do not even reflect on balance owed, they go towards interest. Had I known about this prior, I would not have agreed to supposed terms, which were not disclosed at the time. This high interest rate is illegal in opinion and should be lowered. Please advise Avant Credit they need to lower my rate ASAP if they wish to continue seeing payments.

Complaint narrative:
I bought a vehicle and got an auto loan through fifth third bank. I put insurance on the vehicle the day that I bought it and had the proof of insurance faxed to fifth third bank. A month or two later I started getting calls that I owed over XXXX in insurance that fifth third put on our vehicle. They claimed that they never recieved our proof of insurance and needed it sent again. So i complied and sent it again. I made my regular vehicle payment as i always do. A week later I started getting about 12 calls a day from all different collection centers for fifth third. They said that we owed XXXX dollars because my payments had doubled and I had only made my normal payment. The payments which were exactly double now were because of their added insurance. I asked why and they said they still had not recieved my proof of insurance so I asked how I could get it to them and have my payments back to normal. They said I could fax it again and they promised to personally call me back. I made the mistake of believing them and never got a call back. The insurance never got taken off and I was back to square one. I stopped by my local branch and they said there was nothing to do. So i went to my insurance agent and she helped me fax it over again and keep an insurance service center on the phone so we could hear them verbally say when it came through the fax machine. The employee claimed that all would be normal since they had recieve proof. But I continued to get calls to my work and my cell phone. So I got a fifth third supervisor on the phone after holding for 30 minutes. She says it will be resolved but I am now skeptical as you can imagine. I have cried multiple times over this matter. I have spent countless hours on the phone. My credit is damaged. And for what? I have done nothing wrong. It has been the most stressful month of my life and it feels like I am being harassed. I am writing this as a final hope. I have done everything I 'm supposed to and I 'm being punished for it.
