Complaint narrative:
There has been a breach of confidentiality with the XXXX " Ocwen Loan Servicing ". 
This company that collects money, has people in XXXX who know nothing about fianancing banking, or customer service. 
Documents were received at my home yesterday that ARE CONFIDENTIAL and were in an unsealed envelope. The documents inside the envelope WERE VIEWED. I am trying very hard to get rid of this company and refiancebut that is impossible because the data and the many mortgage servicers that handled this loan IS IN COMPLETE DISSARAY. 

Also Ocwen needs to stop sendin me certified mail to my home. I am not home to receive this information, work long hours during the week and do not have time to visit the post office to pick up their XXXX. 

Bottom line this organization needs to be shut down, sued with a major law suit.

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX me and my ex wife divorced. In the divorce decree I was to take over payment of the house, and she quit claimed deeded the house over to me. We were in Chapter XXXX Bankruptcy before the divorce and I continued making the payments to the trustee and it was discharged in XXXX XXXX. I attempted to contact Ocwen Loan Services to establish a routine pay habit, Ocwen advised me they could not talk to me due to I was not on the account. I argued with them and told them of my situation and that it was a joint home loan, and my ex wife has not been seen or heard from in three years with no way to contact her, and I also told them she was incarcerated and after being released she has been anonymous to anyone. They advised I was nowhere on the account, I again advised them they were in error and asked for an address to send the payment, ( which was not late ), i sent payment which they did not accept. I have been trying to refinance the home and was pre - approved due to my discharge and being remarried and having ample income to support a refinance. I have called Ocwen over XXXX times with the same response, " we can not talk to you '', the underwriters today, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, did a XXXX way conference call with Ocwen and witnessed the same treatment and agreed it was insane due to my credit report now showing 60 days late on the payment and it is a joint account. I again contacted Ocwen and advised them if it shows up on my credit and that it is a joint account that proves I am on it and I want the delinquency removed from my credit report, they again would not talk to me nor let me pay stating i am not on the account. Now the underwriters stated they could not approve the refinance becaus of the 60 day alleged delinquency. Please help me get this taken care of, also I see many complaints on this company for bad business practice.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Don't agree with fees charged
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Due to some kind of technical error, which Navient was never able to explain to me, I was charged double every month in auto payments for a period of 5 months, adding up to thousands of dollars being overpaid before I realized what was happening. Upon calling them, the agent I spoke with seemed very caught off guard that this would have happened and was very apologetic. She looked into it and agreed for whatever reason they were auto deducting twice for the same payments every month. She spoke with her supervisor and assured me I would be refunded all the money that was overpaid. A month went by when I realized I had never been refunded anything. I spent hours on the phone before someone was actually able to help me, at which point a very nasty lady informed me that it was my fault this happened, and had she been the one to talk to me she never would have promised to refund the money. She refused to refund me a dime, money that should have never even been paid to them in the first place, was never owed to them but taken due to some kind of technical glitch, and that they had already promised me, over a recorded phone call none the less.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I have had Bank of America shut off my credit card multiple times, probably XXXX, for no logical reason. I opened up my account 8 years ago in Texas and it became connected to my parent 's account, which is also in Texas. Then, my parents moved to XXXX XXXX, but I still remained in Texas. However, Bank of America continually shut off my credit card because it was being used in Texas, even though I called them every single time to tell them that I lived in Texas and that it was not suspicious activity and that they needed to change my address. Every time, they assured me that it would never happen again. Yet, it happened time and time again. I would be far away in an area that I did not know with homeless people approaching my car and trying to take money from me, and I could not get gas or leave because Bank of America shut off my card again. Last time, I told them that if they shut off my card again without asking me, then I 'm taking all of my money out of the account and moving to another bank and they told me that they would not shut it off again. However, they did about a week later. Then, when I called to say that I wanted to transfer my money and wanted to know the best way to do it, the representative just told me to go ahead and try, but I 'll get fined. She was extremely rude and did not try to rectify the situation at all whatsoever. She did not apologize or care in the least. I am a " preferred customer, '' yet Bank of America shuts off access to my own money time and time again, without reason.

Complaint narrative:
The last few ( at least XXXX ) statements for my Bank of America credit card have not shown the balances subject to various promotional balance transfer offers that I have taken advantage of. I had this same problem in 2015, and the problem was corrected on a few statements. But now the error has returned. When this happened last year Bank of America took months to resolve the issue and did n't seem to care that they were sending out XXXX incorrect statements. The person assigned to handle my case often did not return calls and was basically useless. A perfect example of a " too big to fail '' bank that does n't care about their customers.

Complaint narrative:
I am incredibly dissatisfied with the way Bank of America has handled a disputed transaction of {$6900.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX. This fraudulent Telemarketing Company conned me into paying them {$14000.00} for nothing. I reported this to Bank of America and provided them with all the information necessary to prove that the company scammed me and although it seems they have refunded the {$7400.00} they have decided in favor of the merchant on the other {$6900.00} citing that they " deserve to be paid for any services that were rendered ''. What this company sold me vs what was " rendered '' was nothing as they described. As far as I am concerned, this company did NOT render the services as described and Bank of America is allowing these thieves to operate. 
I have been informed by the XXXX, that I have the right to dispute charges like these using " Claim and defenses '' and I would like this to be properly investigated as such.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Ocwen Financial Corporation
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from my insurance stating my homeowners insurance has not been paid and it was escrowed by Ocwen. After lots of time on the phone and help from my insurance company, it was overnighted and paid. XX/XX/XXXX I received a check for {$590.00} from the escrow dept stating our escrow account was overfunded and this set it right. XX/XX/XXXX I got a letter from Ocwen 's escrow department stating I owed them over {$600.00} to make the escrow account balanced and included a schedule of increased payments to catch up the account. After much time on the phone with a customer service rep and later the supervisor, I decided to cancel the escrow account and per their instructions wrote a letter that was signed by my wife and myself stating all the supervisor requested plus a check for {$51.00} that would bring the account to XXXX and allow the cancellation. I was told they needed 10 days in order to make this happen and mailed the letter with the check on XX/XX/XXXX. I was told the adjustment to the auto draft would be automatically made and the XX/XX/XXXX draft would not include the escrow amount. However, it did and further I received a monthly bill on XX/XX/XXXX stating an amount of the payment for XX/XX/XXXX which still included the escrow amount. Checking my account, I found they had taken the escrow amount, which should have been cancelled ( we have the cancelled check that was inside the letter ) with the XX/XX/XXXX payment and clearly they had not cancelled the escrow payments. I called customer service on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to an escalation Supervisor who stated he needed 3 - 5 days to look into it. I firmly but respectfully expressed my dissatisfaction with his company and I am now awaiting response. This blatant incompetence on the part of Ocwen is irresponsible and I regret having them escrow my property taxes and insurance which I will pay myself once they figure out how to cancel the escrow and pay me back what they took in an unauthorized way. Please warn others about having an escrow account with Ocwen who clearly ca n't manage those accounts.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
XXXX 2012 closed a Bank of America checking account at XXXX branch. 
Asked that {$500.00} left in account to cover any debts that might still be outstanding. 
Bank associate assured me twice that {$500.00} was left in account. 
Moved to Illinois. Approx two weeks later ( when I had internet connection ) tried to log into account but it was closed and locked. 
Called to check balance and was told " the account 's closed. I cant talk to you. '' Demanded to speak with someone of higher authority and was put on hold two different times and disconnected. 
Tried to call XXXX manager who wouldnt speak to me. 
Wrote letter to manager who sent a form letter to call customer service. 
Finally reached manager who told me it had been referred to collections - they did not leave {$500.00} in the account and it was overdrawn {$250.00}. 
When I said that they wouldnt talk to me, he said it was referred to a collection agency who had called me. 
No collection agency has ever called me. 
I fortunately opened another account with XXXX XXXX before XXXX listed me as a deadbeat. But if I move ( I live in XXXX now ), I can not open an account with any bank. 
I filed a complaint 3 years ago with a federal government agency and Bank of America 's " Executive Complaint? '' called me several times to " resolve. '' On each call, they forwarded me over 6 times. Each time I had to explain the situation and they still wanted to forward me because they " couldnt help me. '' I have contacted XXXX who has told me to contact the bank to resolve. 
Why must I pay the price when banks make an error?

I refinanced my home equity line of credit with Bank of America in XX/XX/XXXX. This year they contacted me to advise that under a new program I can qualify for a lower interest rate. I applied. In XXXX they advised that they were not able to approve the application because " loan to collateral value ratio exceeds lending guidelines ''.
