Company: The CBE Group, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This collection agency called me several times about an unpaid bill from a utility. I informed them each time that my real estate agent had ordered stoppage of service and a final bill that I had paid, but that my request had been ignored. Previously, I had dealt with the utility on the same subject. They called me a liar. All other services had been turned off because we had moved everything out of the home.

Again, my real estate agent called them to shut off power and gas. As I had moved out of the home, I was unaware that they had ignored the request. The text of an email from the real estate agent is below:

Begin forwarded message:

From: XXXX XXXX  
Subject: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
Date: XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX PDT
To: "XXXX   (XXXX)" 

Good Afternoon XXXX XXXX!
We just wanted to let you know that the utilities for your property will be taken out of our name as of tomorrow, XX/XX/XXXX. We will be forwarding the bills to you once we receive them.
Thank you very much!

Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have repeatedly contacted Wells Fargo regarding how they process mortgage payments. Each time they receive a payment their system automatically charges a full months interest - irrespective of the number of days elapsed since the last payment. In many instances, I have made payments more frequently than required under the mortgage. In some cases with fewer than XXXX weeks between payments. With each payment be charged a full month 's interest, the end result is that I have been charged the equivalent of XXXX months ' worth of interest in XXXX month. 

While I suspect that this is an unintentional systems design error, Wells Fargo refuses to correct the situation. Their most recent letter dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX indicates that this is their standard practice and in accordance with the terms of my mortgage note, which they attached. In reality it is both unfair and resulting in my account being charged substantially more interest than is required under the mortgage note. 

In addition to my own experience, I am sure there are other borrowers who have made similar frequent payments and unknowingly been charged more interest. In fact, Wells Fargo 's own mortgage website encourages borrowers to make twice monthly payments or exceptional XXXX time payments to reduce interest charges. In reality, the end result is that Wells Fargo will actually charge more interest rather than less. 

Aside from my direct contact with the XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX which has resulted in no change to this unfair practice, I have also emailed both Wells Fargo 's Investor Relations team and XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have not received a response to either of these emails.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have contacted Navient several times to have a lower monthly payment. However, the best option the offer me is the one I have to do every year depends on how much money I am making. The difficult part is that they do n't understand that you have other bills to pay and it might look that you are getting pay a lot but after taxes and everything you dont get anything. I have explained them that I have a car, a mortgage, and other regular bills and that the amount I have right now it is too high for me, at the end of the month I am struggling with no money. The should have into consideration other expenses that the student may counter, the same way when you are trying to apply for a loan or mortgage they see all the expenses that you have and they will only approve you a certain amount of money.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Received bad information about your loan
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Today I logged into XXXX and downloaded all of my student loan information and found that my loan servicers are claiming I owe {$96000.00}. The max amount that I can owe in student loan debt doesnt exceed {$25000.00} before interest. Also, immediately after I withdrew from college I consolidated my student loan debt and applied for the income based repayment plan. However, I couldnt figure out why ( for years ) my credit reports keep showing that I am in default and several months behind in paying off my student loans. After reviewing my student loan file I found that either the college or the loan lenders have been falsifying my information and showing that I am still enrolled in college. I am showing student loan disbursements up to XXXX. However, as I stated, I withdrew from college in XXXX. Therefore, either the lenders or the college is taking money out in my name and leaving me to foot the bill. This issue is of a very serious nature and needs to be investigated. My credit has been ruined for years and I have been suffering undue hardship for reasons that are unethical and unjustifiable. I am homeless and have no car and I am struggling everyday because my credit has been destroyed. I need assistance regarding how to pursue this issue and what steps I need to take to seek relief from these damages

1. Time of due date - I got a response that my remaining payment of {$220.00} was made after XXXX XXXX cut off time that made that payment reflect on next day, which is considered late payment. The cut off time is arbitrary, it should be midnight customers time. 

2. Even if {$220.00} was paid late, the interest on this at 23 % APR for a month should be not more than {$5.00}. Their interest calculation mechanism has error that calculated it to be {$13.00}

Complaint narrative:
Yes, I agreed with Wells Fargo XXXX XXXX to catch up on payments 30 days late since I was laid off work. I was making payment based off that agreement and they without notice repo my car. I try to negotiate with Wells Fargo, if I would pay off the loan amount off the next day from the repo that they would not place a repo notice on my credit they said yes. What happen next was that they place a repo notice on my credit. 

I have disputed on my credit report but nothing has happen. Wells Fargo is dirty institution does not help customer they ripped them off. With all these headlines and news that are coming out against them. 

Hopefully, with these dispute we can get to a resolution.

Complaint narrative:
My complaint involves two banks, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and Citibank. 
I did my banking with XXXX for several years. XXXX is a very small bank with very few branches in all of XXXX XXXX XXXX, and most of them in very inconvenient and dangerous locations. I found the service to be poor, and often uncooperative, so I decided to close my account. I decided to open an account with Citibank. I attempted to close my account with XXXX and they refused to allow me to do so. They basically held my funds and refused to close my account. I opened an account with Citibank and requested their help with XXXX XXXX The Citibank representative told me that I could wire-transfer my funds from XXXX to my new Citibank account. I did so with three wire transfers, as I was not totally sure how the process worked. But before I could complete the transfers, all of my funds, both the XXXX and the Citibank accounts, were blocked. 
I am presently without any and all of my money. No one will give me any information, and I desperately need help.

Complaint narrative:
After much research I called capital one to request an increase to the existing platinum card. I was told that as I had just received an increase I would do better to apply for their no fee cash back XXXX credit card, which I did, and was approved. Today when I went to review my account I noticed a {$39.00} membership fee. I immediately called as I was not made aware of any fees otherwise, I would not have opened another account. The representative said I could 've combined the two accounts to make it one ... something that the initial representative said I could not do since I had to apply for an entirely new account. Finally she said she would the charge this year and I stated that I would figure out if I could to take a negative credit hit when I close the account before 2018. However, the system would not allow her to waive the fee! I am stuck with a credit card that advertises no fees and after a year of using the card want to apply a fee! This is bait and switch! And if I close the account my credit scores will be affected! I need assistance to resolve this matter.
