Company: PLAZA HOME MORTGAGE, INC.
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX Plaza Home Mortgage took XXXX out of our escrow account and paid themselves XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. 

Then XX/XX/XXXX the loan was released with a negative escrow of XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX. In the month of XXXX our mortgage payment went from XXXX to XXXX which put me and my family in a tight spot. 

We refinanced our house to pull funds out of equity to pay off other debts so we could afford this new house note our starting principal was XXXX and our now principal is XXXX. 

We also had the hardest time paying off my loan care because they rejected the pay off amounts 4 times once I did a conference call with the lady from title source they put us on hold and hung the phone up in my face. They said the reason for rejecting the payment because it was not the full amount and the lady from title source said that is not the case so after they hung up the phone it left me with no other option but to pay XXXX to meet the new pay off amount with hopes of them closing out the loan so I wont have two mortages open at the same time.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: FAIR COLLECTIONS & OUTSOURCING, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX has acted in bad faith in violation of both California law as well as Federal law by illegally retaining my security deposit and deducting expenses without providing valid documentation. The debt Fair Collections and Outsourcing ( FCO ) is attempting to collect on their behalf, {$610.00}, is invalid. 

I sent the attached letter by certified mail to XXXX XXXX detailing that they were in violation of California law and had not provided me with any receipts detailing the deductions taken in compliance with their obligations as a landlord. I also explained that any further action taken to collect or retain my deposit would be considered as being taken in bad faith and that they would be liable for enhanced penalties, attorneys fees, and fines should further legal action become necessary. After XXXX XXXX received the letter on XX/XX/XXXX, they stopped responding and refused to send my security deposit refund as required. Several months later I was contacted by FCO and notified that this illegal and alleged debt owed by me had been referred to debt collection in bad faith, thereby placing them in violation of the FCRA. 

In addition to the issues stated above, I also dispute the charges listed as being patently untrue and blatant attempts at scheming more money out of their tenants. For instance, the move in sheet provided in the documentation sent by FCO clearly states that the apartment was in an unclean condition at the time of move in, XX/XX/XXXX. This sheet was signed by XXXX XXXX acknowledging the condition at the time. Therefore, as required by California law, I am required to return the apartment in the same condition received, minus any normal wear and tear. The carpets were in great condition as evidenced by the move out inspection conducted by XXXX ( head maintenance employee ) as well as the apartment in general. As for any stains or damage to the oven range and the refrigerator, the maintenance records retained by XXXX XXXX, which they refuse to provide, clearly show that these units were old replacement units brought in mid-way through my tenancy since the original units were broken. These units came with stains and damage already on them and this was acknowledged by both XXXX and XXXX, employees of XXXX XXXX. Lastly, the bill for XXXX is incorrect and should not have been deducted from my security deposit.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
I went to store to make purchase yesterday (XX/XX/XXXX) and found out my account was closed on XX/XX/XXXX. I have XXXX  Thankyou reward points in my account and all of them got expired after the closure of my account. All Thankyou reward points were accumulated from my daily expenses. I do not even have a chance to redeem them since I have never received any account closure notice. I called up to ask if they can reopen and they stated no and for me to re-apply. The supervisor (ID: XXXX) did not provide any solutions, and she was even impatient to tell me that if I wanted to continue to complain then go online to find their complaint department mailing address by myself! This is the first time I met such a bad attitude customer service. They did not even email/mail me anything about the closure of my account. And it did not make sense to close my account without any notice and expire all of my Thankyou points.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint about Wells Fargo. This had been an ongoing issue with me filing complaints about my Wells Fargo bank accounts. I had not received any resolution to this day. I have money missing from my bank account and I am unable to figure out each transactions amount. The money went missing within a three month timespan. This timespan is from XXXX to XXXX In the past Wells Fargo wanted to know the dates and amounts of all transactions of when, where or how the money went missing. If I did know the amounts of transactions that lead up to missing monies I surely and would greatly provide this information. I have read all of my banking statements online and I also had requested that Wells Fargo send my statements via postal mail. Nothing contained within that information has helped me at all. Every bit of the statements is vague and provides little to no information that would help me in locating these missing monies. Every complaint that I have made about this Wells Fargo provides the same exact response. Please provide us with dates and transactions amounts. Then their response ends up closing my complaint filed through the CFPB website. I have no way on earth to provide the information on transactions amounts. This was a gross error by Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo is the company that holds all of the records as in dates, amounts and where this money goes. Them asking me to provide dates and amounts of transactions would be beyond redundant. Asking me to provide them information of which I have no control over. I am at a loss financially and by them they keep brushing me off and trying to allow me to either give up or pass the time and go past the statute of limitations. Also I started out as a XXXX banking customer. Then sometime after Wells Fargo had taken them over and imposed their rules without my personal consent.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I made an accelerated principle payment on my mortgage (then serviced by XXXX) in the amount of $XXXX (proof attached in XX/XX/XXXX letter).  In XX/XX/XXXX, I made another accelerated principle payment on my mortgage (then serviced by XXXX) in the amount of $XXXX  (proof attached in XX/XX/XXXX letter). Total of accelerated payments = $XXXX.  SPS (Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc.) is my current loan service provider.  In the past year, I've tried multiple times via phone calls to SPS Customer Service to evaluate how these accelerated payments will affect my ultimate payoff date (not maturity date).  SPS not once acknowledged that these accelerated payments had been made, gave me no guidance, and simply stated that the maturity date remains XX/XX/XXXX.  Therefore, I wrote a formal letter on XX/XX/XXXX (attached) of this year asking for assistance with my situation.  SPS wrote back on XX/XX/XXXX (attached) saying in part, that they could not give an "exact" payoff date due to the Adjustable Rate on my loan.  Please note, I did not ask SPS for an exact date in my XX/XX/XXXX correspondence.  On XX/XX/XXXX, I again responded (attached) asking SPS to acknowledge the accelerated payments and account for them, as well.  In addition, I requested assistance in estimating a reasonable payoff date.  On XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, SPS responded (attached) in part, saying that they had already addressed my issues and considered the matter closed.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX Credit card provided by Bank of America. 
I was charged a {$75.00} annual fee which I was not aware of until a month after it was assigned, as I had not used the card until this point. BoA had assessed an additional {$25.00} fee. I called customer service and spoke with a rep on XXXX. The rep assured me that they would remove the {$25.00} fee and the {$75.00} fee, then close the acct. Last week, I received notification that my account was past due and owed $ 75+. I called the customer service line. The first person said " no problem '' and cold transferred me to collections where the operator claimed that the {$75.00} dollar fee wasn't the annual fee but something else, and that interest charges were separate. Then tried to point to the amount due as from a purchase. I asked to speak with a supervisor. I was transferred to XXXX XXXX, Manager of Escalations with Bank of America. He was condescending and attempted to double speak his way through the conversation by correcting my word use re-branding his employees mistake by telling me that I was " misinformed. '' At no point did he deny that his employee had told me that the fee would be removed and that my account would be XXXX balanced. He told me that his employee had provided " mistaken '' information and that he was " sorry that I was misinformed. '' He stated that the annual fee was a " rule '' and could not be refunded, and that it would " destroy my credit. '' I informed him that his employee told me that the fee would be removed and the account closed. Now, BoA is insisting that I have to pay them {$78.00} ( {$75.00} XXXX ) or they will damage my credit. I informed him that this is extortion, which he shifted the blame onto me and said that the annual fee is non-refundable and the late fees have to be paid to bring the account current. I paid the fees rather than take the hit on my credit score. I monitor my score closely. It is in the high XXXX. I own a home and have purchased vehicles through financing. I am capable of meeting my financial needs and am not upset about the money. I am upset about the predatory and punitive assignment of fees, followed by extortion of further funds in order to close the acct
