Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I repay my federal student loans under the REPAYE income-driven repayment plan. On  XXXX   XXXX ,    2017,  I submitted my annual income documentation to FedLoan Servicing to recalculate the REPAYE amount. As my family 's current income differed significantly from our most recent federal tax return, I used  XXXX  recent paychecks as documentation.     On  XXXX   XXXX , I received notification that my monthly repayment amount had been calculated. However, the amount was too high. Going back to the calculations, I noticed that the number calculated b y FedLoan wa s exactly what I would get if I ignored all pre-tax deductions from my paycheck.     I emailed FedLoan twice but received no response. I called them on  XXXX   XXXX , and was told that they would look into the matter within  10 bus iness days. I called back on  XXXX   XXXX  and was told to wait one more week. Finally, when I called on  XXXX   XXXX , I was told for the first time that it is FedLoan 's policy to ignore pre-tax deductions from paycheck income documentation if they ca n't tell exactly what the deduction is from the description on the check.     I was informed that I could submit a letter on company letterhead from my employer and request   expedited review. I did so and FedLoan adjusted the next monthly payment to the correct amount.
While this incident has been resolved for me, I have several concerns : 1. It took a month and a half and five inquiries before I was given the information necessary to resolve the concern. I doubt many borr  owers are this persistent.      2. I imagine most borrowers do not take the time to sort out payroll deductions, research the federal poverty guidelines, and do the calculations necessary to confirm that the servicer is billing the correct a mount. I worry that many borrowers who submit paycheck income documentation are being overbilled if pre-tax deductions are ignored.      3. Nowhere on FedLoan 's website ( that I can find ) is there any i ndication that an employer letter is needed to document pre-tax deductions. Nor is it in the federal income-driven repayment plan instructions. A much better arrangement would be for the servicer to contact the borrower if there are any deductions that they do not understand, so that the borrower has an opportunity to provide additional documentation.

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Flagstar Bank, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I used a mortgage broker to refinance a loan a few years ago named   XXXX   XXXX  . Upon closing the loan, it was sold to a third party called  XXXX . That has been the mortgage servicing bank I 've used since.
Recently, I started receiving constant robo-calls and direct calls from Flagstar Bank stating that they needed to speak to me about a very important " business matter. '' I ignored the calls as I had never heard of them before, did not have any business with them and after a   XXXX   search of their poor customer service, had no interest in working with them.
Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me -   XXXX   sold my mortgage to Flagstar, but neither bank properly notified me. They sent letters allegedly to the wrong address. They did not attempt to contact me to explain the situation and kept harrassing me that they were sending me to collections. Never explaining that they were my new loan service provider.
When I did call them, they asked me to provide them my social security number - again, not something I was going to do to a random company I never heard of. When I protested, they were incredibly rude and did not offer any explanation as to why they were continuously hounding me on the phone. I think I have at least 20 calls from them over the course of 45 days.
Net net - I 've now made payments to the bank and am in good standing. But this bank 's poor mortgage transfer communications along with their harrassing and menancing calls is unacceptable. The people at this bank should not be allowed to treat customers in this way!
I have to imagine there are guidelines in place in terms of what requirements both banks must abide by when selling and transferring a mortgage between providers.

Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I have an FHA mortgage loan that I used to buy my home that is held by Citi Mortgage. At that time, I was XXXX and had a successful XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. However, after the market crashed and the recession hit I began struggling financially and lost most my clients. I was soon forced out of business and had to start from scratch taking a XXXX job. This caused me to struggle and I began missing mortgage payments. I tried to get Citi Mortgage to work with me but just got the runaround from their loss mitigation department. I continued trying to negotiate and was able to continue making the mortgage payment on occasion. I was hoping for some kind of resolution. In 2013 I was finally able to get some traction with Citi and was approved for a trial modification and made 4 payments and was expecting to be put into a permanent solution. However, while in the trial plan I came home and found a man trying to change the locks on my property!!! I got information from the person who was supposedly the new owner and found out that the foreclosure was false, and that this company out changing the locks was shady and that Citi Financial was representing another company that was committing fraud. I was able to go to court to try and get this matter resolved, and thought I had things straightened out. However, I am now told that I am back in foreclosure. I have been made aware that Citi Financial has been involved in other cases of fraud with HUD and misrepresenting FHA loans and the status of these loans they are holding. I want to resolve this situation and save my home. I have rebuilt my XXXX XXXX and am back on my feet financially and able to afford a fair and reasonable monthly payment. My issue is that Citi is failing to conduct a review of my current and correct financial information in order to determine what retention programs that FHA has developed for struggling homeowners I qualify for. This should not be optional for Citi Financial, it should be required.
