Barclays is acting in bad faith.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
The XXXX blocked me from going into my account and making the XX/XX/XXXX payment and I was told by XXXX  around XXXX  XXXX XXXX that the Loss Mitigations department locked me out of my account. I couldn't login. I called again and spoke to XXXX around XXXX and she indicated that the department of Loss Mitigations lifted ban, she stated that I can now go on my account and make my payment. I went back online and still could not pull up my account. She allow me to make a one time free phone payment which would have cost me {$12.00} plus my late fee of {$10.00}. I have a witness to the whole conversation. I have been making payments on time never 30 days late. The last payment I made was on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$1300.00}. I needed help back in XX/XX/XXXX because of medical leave XXXX  and I applied for loss Mitigations. The underwriter proposed some type of trial payment plan for three months {$1400.00} and I refused and email them stating I wasn't interested. I have never been blocked before up until today. I still login my account. I have to deal with unpleasant people every time I call. The attitude I get from them is that they are doing me favors.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I began the loan modification process in the Spring of XX/XX/XXXX. All paperwork was signed and completed and returned to XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. All trial payments were made each month for the first 3 months beginning in XX/XX/XXXX, and all payments have been made every month since. I have made multiple attempts to get my statements and credit updated to show that my account has been modified and is now current. I've left messages and sent emails to the relationship managers on my account. In the past two weeks, I have spoken with 4 different relationship managers in the Loan Modification Department ( MAP dept ) at XXXX XXXX. I still have not had any resolution. My credit report continues to incorrectly show that I'm 120+ days past due, which is significantly hurting my credit score and likely why I have a high interest rate on my vehicle loan and have not yet been able to refinance it. I also found out that in addition to XXXX XXXX not updating my loan and payments with the credit bureau, nothing has been sent to the Recorder 's office where I live. It seems that absolutely nothing was done after the paperwork was signed and returned. They confirmed on XX/XX/XXXX, that they received all the paperwork and that " it appeared '' nothing had been done after that. My rights for fair credit reporting are being violated and they need to fix the problem.

Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: CNG HOLDINGS INC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I've been contacted numerous times by XXXX XXXX XXXX for months regarding a debt I owe. I ignored the calls for the most part because it seemed like a scam from the beginning. However, I finally obliged and called them back requesting additional information on this charge they are collecting ( {$1700.00} ), they did not have any details but promise to send them via mail. Nothing was received, and I communicated to them that I am no longer taking any calls as I haven't seen anything on my credit report on this alleged debt. I check my credit report yesterday ( 2 months later ) and my score had dropped significantly due to a delinquent debt by XXXX XXXX XXXX. I've contacted them several times within the past couple of days which resulted in their failure to provide information, hanging up, unable to provide a valid email address or website, and just very suspicious operations. I've since communicated to them that I have filed various complaints ( identitytheft.gov, FTC, police report ), and will proceed to take legal action if not resolved by them. They have then blocked my calls, or hang up the phone when I use a different contact number of theirs. 
I do not have any documents from them with information on this debt. They have only operated over the phone, requesting immediate payment via credit card.

Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2017 a credit card was opened in my name by my ex spouse. I did not give her authorization to do that. After finding out about the credit card a couple of months later she told me that she would pay the money back and contact Navy Federal and let them know that I did not open this account. Ive tried disputing this account to no avail. This account has a tremendous impact on my credit report and its unfair that Im deemed ineligible for things due to an account that I never opened. I would like for Navy Federal to get this account removed off of my credit report as well as contact my ex spouse and put this on her credit report. Btw she has a bank account with this bank.

Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I mailed my mortgage payment to PennyMac. Along with the check # XXXX, I included a letter with specific detailed instructions on how I wanted the payment applied. They ignored the letter and chose to apply the payment how they felt it should be applied. This has been happening for the past several months. I have reached out to them on several occassions to rectify the matter and they have not been at all helpful. Instead, their representatives have disrespected me, spoken to me unprofessionally and mistreated me. 

In this latest incident, they applied the overage to the principal and that is not what I requested. I was also charged a late charge and the payment was not late. They also received the payment on XX/XX/XXXX and put the received date as XX/XX/XXXX.

Company: Seterus, Inc.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I had a mortgage bought & serviced by Seterus , Inc . I received an email from them on XX/XX/XXXX that stated if I paid off the late fees I would receive a discount of 50 % of these fees if paid by XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted a rep ( either XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX ) on or about XX/XX/XXXX regarding a payoff as I was in the process of selling the home. After extended periods on hold and questions I was assured that I would receive an escrow refund as well as the late charge refund within 30 days as required by regulation. I had issues with his responses and asked to speak with a supervisor ( XXXX XXXX ) who indicated the same. I paid off the loan in full ( including the full amount of late charges ) on XX/XX/XXXX. I received a check ( with no explanation or accounting whatsoever ) that stated " escrow disbursement '' with no refund for fees. I spoke with a XXXX XXXX   who indicated I would need to send emails to his legal department to receive my refund. I asked to speak with his supervisor ( XXXX XXXX ) who tried to explain that there is an issue that I paid in full rather than just the late charges. The email did not specify any of this and again I was promised by several employees I would recieve my refund within the 30 day regulatory period. I indicated it was their ( Seterus ) issue and they should talk to legal. He refused and I asked to speak with his supervisor ( XXXX XXXX ) whom has not called as of yet. I do not feel like I need to battle their legal department for the refund they promised several times. I can forward all information including the refund email along with loan # 's etc. if necessary.

Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed a check ( # XXXX ) for XX/XX/XXXX rent for {$3000.00}. My landlord never received check # XXXX. I discovered the check was forged and submitted an affidavit to my bank HSBC. I was reimbursed for the check on XX/XX/XXXX. 

However, since I was behind on rent for several months, I was required to appear in court on XX/XX/XXXX. My landlord charged me {$870.00} + $ XXXX= {$890.00} in legal and processing fees. In an email on XX/XX/XXXX an HSBC representative says they will not reimburse the legal fees. 

HSBC is liable for the fees because their mistake ( allowing a forged check to be cashed ) is the reason I had to go to court and pay the fees.
