Consumer complaint received 2017-11-12 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
My XXXX mortgage payment was made to Ditech Financial on XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$1600.00} on the online Ditech bill pay feature on their website. The website only allows you to enter the account number and routing number one time into their payment system when entering the payment. I provided the payment information and selected confirm payment. I received a confirmation email advising payment was submitted. On XXXX XXXX I received a letter in the mail advising me that my payment had not been applied and that I had been marked as 30 days late and a late fee was applied as well. I had the money in my bank account and because a XXXX was left out inin the account number section, my payment had been rejected. I immediately contacted Ditech to advise that I had made my payment on time & had I known before hand that the payment had not gone through due to the omitted XXXX in the routing number, I would have resubmitted the payment before it was marked late. I then made a double payment over the phone. 

The online system at Ditech does not allow the customer to entering the routing number twice to make sure the numbers are correct in order to prevent any errors. Ditech did not contact me by phone after the payment did not go through and and I did not get an email either. Since a letter was sent instead and it arrived causing the payment to be reported as 30 days late. When I asked Ditech to remove the 30 day late notice, they advised that they would not do this. I have paid the late fee, and having the 30 days late has caused my credit score to drop by 80 points. I have small children and the area I currently live in has become more rampended with crime.I am trying to buy a house in a better area, and now the 30 day late is causing me to not be qualified to buy a home. I have never been 30 days late on my mortgage with Ditech. 
If needed a bank statement can be show showing the money was available on XXXX XXXX for the payment.

When capital one sent me any statement? When i logged in there was no way to chat with anybody.

Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Starting in XXXX of XXXX, Citibank began charging me a penalty interest rate of 29.99 %. 
It is now XXXX XXXX, XXXX and I have never had any notification from Citibank that they have reviewed or made any effort to review my payments being on time. I have just recently become aware of the passage of the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure, or Credit CARD, Act of 2009. The law seems to require that after 6 payments are made on time, the credit card issuer must review the penalty interest rate and return the interest rate to its original rate. 
I called Citibank customer service on XXXX XXXX XXXX and asked about having the penalty interest rate lowered. The person I spoke with said that I am required to make 6 payments on time AND each of those payments must pay the balance in full. 
Is this correct under the law? 
I then called again on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and the person I spoke with said he had checked with a supervisor and that the interest rate can not be lowered " because of the performance of the account ''. I do not have any idea what that means. That person told me they would send me a letter in 5-7 days explaining. I have not received any letter explaining.

Company: LOBEL FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I got a car from XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and it was from Lobel Financial. I recently read reviews from Lobel Financial and I see I am not the only one going through this. My credit reports from all credit bureaus say I have a numerous amount of late payments. I actually did n't have that many late payments and the last payment I made was a payment arrangement, they said I am safe if I made the payment by the XXXX of every month but I still called because all previous payments were always made by the XXXX of every month. The worker said I would be fine because there is a grace period till the XXXX of every month. The night before my payment arrangement my car was repossessed. I was able to get my belongings out for {$80.00} but they would n't let me take my speakers or anything and the price to pull the vehicle out was ridiculous. They sold the vehicle and still demanded full payment of the whole price of the car which was XXXX XXXX something and now they was {$5200.00} in fees. I called and told them that was unreasonable because they sold the vehicle and I can not pay for a vehicle in full that I was not going to get back. They took me to court and garnished my wages of {$400.00} every paycheck! I went to court and fought it and the judged ordered them to stop all payments, refund my garnished wages and to drop the case and amount. This company then reopened it on my credit as a charge off in XXXX XXXX when this hit my credit and was repossessed in XXXX XXXX. I contacted them to remove it and update it and they refuse because I did n't payoff the vehicle they already sold.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX closed my online account that I use to send money without notice. When I contacted customer service to find out why, I was told it was for security reasons but they would not provide me with any more information. This was very frustrating because I have been using this online service for about 4 years. It is very convenient for me because my work hours do not permit me to visit a location. Closing my account without providing me with some form of explanation does not really make sense to me. I feel like I have been discriminated against.

There has not been any adjudication of this matter by any court and the XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX have conspired to try to make me pay them through the fictional account they have attached to my credit report.
