Complaint narrative:
On XXXX the XXXX I call Caliber Home Loans in order to find out what type of programs they had available for the people effected by covid-19. After a two hour hold time, I was told by XXXX ID:XXXX that they have a forbearance plan. 
I specifically asked if I can continue to make payments with my debit card through the online portal. She told me yes. 
XX/XX/XXXX I attempted to pay my mortgage through the online portal but was unable to. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I called them again and after a 45 minute hold time, I was told that due to the forbearance I can only pay via phone with checking account and route number! This was NOT explain to me, in fact, the opposite. XXXX ID:XXXX was extremely rude, aggressive and refused to accept responsibility on behalf of caliber home loans. 
I NEVER agreed to make payments over the home, I ASKED if I could continue making payments as I always have and was told YES. 
They need to be held accountable for this.

Complaint narrative:
We have reached out to experian 6 different times to investigate and remove unauthorized/fraud debt that is on my credit report. Every other credit bureau has done a proper and legal investigation and has removed them after finding out that it does not belong to me! Every time I have given experian evidence that this debt does not belong to me they never remove it. They simply dont investigate and keep the debt on my credit report. I have given all the proof and documentation that shows that this does not belong to me yet they have not updated and removed this. Experian is not doing there job accordingly to federal law and simple leave the debt because of there extremely low standard.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Hi there, Around a year ago, i was given a credit card from Wayfair with a year 0 % interest. After making purchases, i was still being charged interest throughout the course of the year. 

When i rang up after the first month XXXX XX/XX/2019 ) and asked why i was being charged interest, i was told that i wasn't eligible for the promotion and that instead i was going to be charged a minimal amount of interest every month. I wanted to clarify 100 % that this was in fact the only interest i could expect to receive and i was told repeatedly that it was. 
Also at this time, i was asked about whether i'd like paperless statements which i agreed to and that they would be emailed to me. 

Today, i realized that i have a charge of around XXXX $ on the account ( close to 50 % interest on the remaining balance ). I rang immediately and asked to refund the interest and i would bring the balance to XXXX then and there. After being switched around 3 different colleagues and being spoken to very unprofessionally, i was told that there was nothing that could be done about the interest charges and that this was 100 % my fault for the following reasons : 1. the call in XX/XX/2019 never existed and no call was placed at this time 2. the information was on my statement, which wasn't emailed to me, but this was something i had to access online. 

After looking at the statements which they mentioned on the phone, i see that they exist in an area of the website which is extremely hidden. You have an area called transactions ( where there is no mention of the interest they were about to charge ) you need to click on 2 different areas and then download the statement from there. at the bottom is where you can find their " warning ''. Again, extremely misleading. 

I'm extremely upset about this as i feel like i've been incredibly misled when it comes to how the interest works for their program. Everyone should be aware and their 'promotions ' should be assessed. 

I just want to clear my account without the 50 % finance charge so that i can clear this amount.

Company: Alorica Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
This company is using the Covid-19 crisis to try to scare customers into thinking they are late on payments and are highly pressuring customers to use their stimulus money to pay off remaining balances that are not late or overdue. I have made every single payment on-time since I received the loan and just received this is an email from them : This is a reminder that you have a remaining small balance of {$140.00} on your XXXX account. Our records indicate that some or all of this small balance may currently be past due. 

A tax refund is a great opportunity to close this account out in full and honor your remaining obligation on your XXXX loan. Putting that tax refund to good use, to resolve your debt with us, will allow us to close this account permanently and stop all further efforts to collect. 

I have never missed a single payment and am still being threatened with debt collection if I dont use my stimulus money to immediately pay off the remaining balance and settle an account that is current.

On We recently filed a complaint with you No. XXXX against XXXX. Approximately one year ago we erroneously made a {$50000.00} payment through our Wells Fargo Bill Pay online to a closed XXXX Mortgage account. Wells Fargo said they sent it electronically and XXXX said they never received it. Both companies are denying liability and claim they are not responsible. I am again attaching proof provided to me by Wells Fargo that the payment was sent. This is such a large amount of money and Wells should be able to provide us with proof that the money was sent electronically, to what account and proof that is was accepted. We desperately need relief and would be grateful for your assistance.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I was affected in this covid 19 pandemic. I was temporarily lay off as of XX/XX/XXXX. I called freedom mortgage company last XX/XX/XXXX ( if Im not mistaken, ) I contacted the company to inform them that I was affected in this pandemic and I needed help. I was told that they are still waiting for the governments approval regarding mortgage relief and the only way they could help me is to apply for a forbearance loan which is after 90 days of no payment I have to pay the remaining balance of 3 mos which is i cant afford to pay 3 mos worth of a mortgage. So I refused to apply and decided to wait. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called again and ask them if freedom mortgage has a new system of helping costumers affected from covid, unfortunately they dont have any option again except to apply for a forbearance. Freedom mortgage is too slow to help their costumers in this time of hardship. Mortgage Companies in the state of New Jersey were already offering deferred payment or pause payment for 3 mos until pandemic will be over .freedom mortgage Costumer representative claimed they are still waiting for the governments approval to take deferment mortgage payments but as far as i know this is already approve in other mortgage companies. I just dont understand that in this hard times especially in the state of New Jersey we are hardly hit and it should not take so much time to assist costumers not to mention an hour wait on the phone to get the answer. In this hard times as a costumer, Im expecting that freedom mortgage will at least work with their costumers in times like this most especially the people that were affected I at least give us peace of mind that we will not loose our shelter. But unfortunately, until now they dont have a better options to give their costumers some relief in paying the mortgage and it takes them so much time to handle this kind of situation.
