Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — 
Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to modify my loan for over 4 years now. I have submitted documentation time and time again to no avail. I requested an appeal based upon the last streamlined request for modification by XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted the streamlined modification request however on XX/XX/XXXX, I received another forebearance with payments of XXXX which would be for 12 months AND a balloon payment of approx {$130000.00}! At which point, my representative was advised that there would be no guarantee of a modification. This was very perplexing and frustrating. 

All this time I was waiting I was excited for my family and myself because I actually believed the bank was going to actually review and come up with an affordable payment when I submitted the streamlined application. It appears to me that they did that only to make it seem like the bank was trying to help but they had no intention, especially not with those numbers and keeping the same rate of 7.45 %. 

I requested an appeal and as of XX/XX/XXXX, they had not received the request for the appeal however, my representative advised the SPS representative to please notate the account and he advised that he would. I still have not received a reply to the appeal. Then again, I do n't know how they are reviewing since I was not asked for my documentation. The NPV document did not have any information other than the value based on average sales of the property but no appraisal. 

It appears that the bank is going through the motions since it has been a long time that I made a payment. This was not because I did not want to but because both my mother and I had experienced a real hardship in XX/XX/XXXX. As I mentioned I reached out to the bank but they kept denying a modification and sending me forebearance with huge payments as a workouts. 

We purchased the home in XX/XX/XXXX, for $ XXXX, and the current principal balance is approx $ XXXX plus arrears. Had the bank allowed us an afforadable modification back when we started the request, we would not be owing so much in the arrears. Yes we had a major hardship, however, as time has gone by, our financial situation has changed, yet I can not refinance due to the negative impact on my credit. 

The bank will not lose money by modifiying my loan. On the contrary, since the loan amount is now over $ XXXX, they will be making more. If I sell the home, we would lose our family home and all it entails. 

We are requesting your assistance to ensure that our request for modification review is properly calculated and not have the bank continue to give us an unaffordable workout. We do n't want to lose our home and be displaced and end up homeless.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I paid citibank {$450.00} which left a credit of about {$150.00}. As of XX/XX/XXXX, I  had a remaining credit balance of XXXX. Citibank sent a check to me on that date, with a notation my account saying I requested the refund, which I had not. I haven ever received the check and cashed it, as verified by Citibank during a phone I recorded with them on XX/XX/XXXX. 

The total charged from XX/XX/XXXX to present are XXXX, which would leave a credit balance of XXXX, but they charged me late fee and interest of {$25.00}, which they refuse to remove, which leave my account past due. 

The mistake is theirs. Until I receive and cash a check, they still have my money. They sent money I did not request. They are applying the check back as a credit but not dating to remove the late charges and interest fees. 

I spoke with an account supervisor XXXX ID number XXXX, who refused to remove the charges until I made a minimum payment of {$25.00}. He said the account was late. I can not have a late account when my credit would still be over {$7.00}. The only thing making the account late is their late fee and interest, which should not have been charged. 

I had this issue before last year. The company is refusing the interest and late fee refund saying that I had a courtesy one before. The last refund was not a courtesy. It was this same exact issue. It took 3 months to get the check and they kept charging fees and interest, when it was their error

Complaint narrative:
Years ago I had a cell phone account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. I went through the proper steps to close the account and moved to a different provider. XXXX XXXX XXXX continued to send me bills for service in which I had ended. I repeatedly called their customer service and they would say it has been resolved. Years later I continued getting a bill saying I owed for service in which I did not have. I learned later that XXXX XXXX XXXX has class action suits against them for the same practices. Eventually they turned my bill over to a collection agency in which I have zero correspondence. It shows on my credit report.. XXXX XXXX XXXX has XXXX tactics and poor customer service. If they were to pull up the account for the dates years ago they would see that there was no active account and no activity on the account. I think with research it will be found that XXXX XXXX XXXX has done this with many others.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: MS

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX, our Loan servicing was transferred from XXXX to Carrington Mortgage Services , LLC . We never received any communications or information from Carrington. The only information we received was a notice of servicing transfer from XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX, we finally get a letter asking for updated contact information. I mailed updated contact information back to Carrington. XX/XX/XXXX, an unknown person showed up at our residence with a piece of paper with a phone number that stated contact as soon as possible. My husband called the number XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. It was Carrington and the conversation was about what were our intention to do with the property. He asked why have n't we received a monthly statement and was told they do n't automatically send them, we have to request one. When I mailed XX/XX/XXXX payment, I requested a statement and have yet to receive one. XX/XX/XXXX, we received a blue envelope from Carrington with our check for XX/XX/XXXX 's payment and a letter demanding a quick collect or XXXX XXXX payment. XX/XX/XXXX, my husband called Carrington about why we received the letter and why they returned check for XX/XX/XXXX. He informed them that all payments were made on time and up to date. Carrington had cashed all our checks. They stated their records showed no payments were made. 
I pulled cleared checks from our and faxed to them. Carrington stated they will look into it and get back with us but process could take 30 days. XX/XX/XXXX, we received a letter of intent to foreclose and another one XX/XX/XXXX. This has been very frustrating to have to deal with a Company that is supposed to have our best interest first. They have been cashing payments and not professionally handling them. Then to threaten foreclosure when they are mishandling funds. We have to jump through hoops to prove to them that we 've paid them. It 's sad. I had a credit card cancelled due to incorrect information being reported to the credit bureau due to their mistakes.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I spoke to XXXX XXXX from Navient back in XX/XX/XXXX. He requested I provide 2-3 paystubs in order to enroll in a new program. I uploaded the information and fast forward 3 months later. I keep getting calls from Ohio ( like every 30-1hr ) leaving voicemails with no message at times or leaving no vm 's at all. At first I was n't sure who it was, until It angered me and that 's where I found out it was Navient. Just to find out I was delinquent 3 months and I owe over $ 1k. Never had a problem in the past and now they are telling me im delinquent when I clearly spoke to one of the employees there. Also, to find out they never received my information. Let me remind you my personal information is on these paystubs, and to find out they do n't have anything on file for the month of XX/XX/XXXX, that 's actually scaring me. Now, Navient is asking for my paystubs again and I do n't feel comfortable doing it. I need help and I need help fast because Navient is not a friendly, helpful company to deal with. If someone can guide me the right direction that will be highly appreciated

Company: AES/PHEAA

Complaint narrative:
Without notice, explanation, or legal authority, XXXX XXXX has revoked my ability to suspend direct debit payments. Despite the fact that I pay by bill in full each month before the direct debit withdraw date, XXXX intends to withdraw an additional full payment from my savings account. In other words, I pay ~ {$480.00} to fulfill my monthly obligation before the XX/XX/XXXX of each month. On the XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX intends to withdraw another {$480.00} payment to my great detriment. I should have the ability to suspend this withdraw. I possessed that ability for the previous six months. Upon information and belief, XXXX revoked the suspension ability in retaliation for my whistleblowing activities.

Company: BBVA FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
BBVA has erroneously posted an auto loan under my social security number and has caused significant damage to my credit report. On XX/XX/XXXX I notified BBVA customer service that an erroneous entry on my credit report showed an auto loan that I did not have. After several phone calls to BBVA they promised a call back but never did. On XX/XX/XXXX I called BBVA offshore customer service ( in XXXX ) which they advised they had confirmed with the auto dealership where the loan was opened, and that the social security number was correct. I knew this was not true, so I asked the rep for the name of the dealership where the auto loan was opened. The BBVA rep gave me the information and I called the dealership and spoke to the finance manager. He confirmed the Social Security was miskeyed by BBVA. I then called back BBVA and advised them of my investigative findings. BBVA promised a call back and I never received one.  Last night the rep stated that I should just get a lawyer, which is a horrible response to solving this problem. I would like to file 1 ) complaint regarding the issue with incorrect SSN displaying on my credit report 2 ) I would like to file a complaint to your executive managers regarding the false investigation that was conducted on your part. 3 ) I would like to file a complaint to your executive managers regarding every representative who promised to call me back but did not. Per FCRA law the item must be removed from my credit report immediately. The customer service that I received from this bank is horrible. All calls are contracted out to a call center in XXXX, and their customer service skills are horrible. I am not even a customer and I am glad I am not.
