Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - Below is what transpired between myself and XXXX retail card services I sent to Customer Service Department : This is the XXXX  letter I am sending to you, my final attempt to resolve this issue with your company. I will also be sending all of this information to the Better Business Bureau as well as my credit reporting agency. 
As I previously outlined, every charge you have applied since XXXX XXXX, XXXX has been incorrect on your part. 
Called XXXX XXXX to cancel XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX after final payment was made on the phone on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I was told the account was closed and I would still owe the {$23.00} because I should have seen it on my bill and therefore was my responsibility. I paid the * {$23.00} on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and my XX/XX/XXXX bill shows a {$0.00} balance. 
Called XXXX XXXX, XXXX to try to cancel the XXXX XXXX account AGAIN, after being charged {$11.00} XXXX XXXX, XXXX and again on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. 
My XXXX statement shows that I paid {$95.00}, which was the refund XXXX provide for the previous XXXX  months of XXXX XXXX charges that were billed to us after we cancelled the program. These were credited to my account on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. At this point my balance was negative, meaning XXXX owed me a check for {$47.00}. 
I was charged the {$11.00} AGAIN on XXXX XXXX, XXXX!!!! 
I was charged {$11.00} on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and * {$23.00} credit balance refund. 
In XX/XX/XXXX I was showing a balance due of {$35.00}, even though I owed {$0.00} as detailed above. I paid the {$35.00} on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, check # XXXX in hopes of FINALLY closing this out once and for all. 
I continue to be harassed by your company, charged fraudulent charges and wrote a detailed letter on XXXX XXXX, XXXX to try to resolve this. I got no response to my letter other than a letter from XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, XXXX stating you are sending this balance to collections! 
I have tried to resolve this, I have paid more money than I actually owed you to try to close this out, none of which were successful. If you send this to a collection agency, I will be forced to report you to the Better Business Bureau and file a formal complaint for harassment and fraud with my attorney. Just because this has wasted so much of my time, caused me so much frustration, I am willing to spend my money on attorney to stop you. 

Please advise as how you would like to proceed. 

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- - I am now trying to buy a home and this showed up on my Crdit history. This company should be held accountable for doing this. If they are doing it to me they are doing this to many and getting away with it. 

Please Help, kind regards

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: Mr. Cooper Group Inc.
State: RI

Complaint narrative:
I am having an issue removing the Principal and Mortgage Insurance with my loan servicer, Mr. Cooper. 

In XXXX of XXXX, I believe it was around the XXXX, I initially reached out to Mr. Cooper about having my home reappraised for a fee to remove the PMI from my loan. I have made substantial improvements since my initial purchase in XXXX and during that time I reviewed my options for removing the PMI with Mr. Cooper 's representatives. During my initial call in XXXX, I detailed the improvements made to my Property. The representative took down that information to provide to the appraisal company. I was told I would hear from a Real estate Appraisal company in approx 30 days to schedule the appraisal. 

I never heard back. I called into Mr. Cooper again at the beginning of XXXX to check on the status of said appraisal. I was told that they were waiting for the dollar value of the improvements made so that the appraisal company could contact me. I questioned the rep why no one had reached out to me if they needed more information or why the original rep had not requested it when I first called.. They could not provide an answer. I provided the detailed information to the Rep and requested that they expedite my request. They advised that they would do their best. 
Approx 30 days later on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter that my request was canceled, I called and asked what was wrong and they said they reached out once and I didn't answer their call. First, I had never received a call from an Appraisal company and secondly, they didn't leave a message of any sort. I asked for a supervisor and they said that we had to go back through the process all over again. I unhappily obliged and we enter another request for an appraisal slightly after XX/XX/XXXX. 
Another 30+ days pass. I call in again on XX/XX/XXXX and am told the same story. They tried calling me once, but couldn't get ahold of me and canceled the request. This time they also tell me they do not have a form on file for the Appraiser to leave a voicemail. I ask for a Supervisor and am forwarded multiple times to XXXX at XXXX. She assures me that she can get everything in order and have something scheduled in 30 days. 

I requested that Mr. Cooper cover my appraisal fee as I have paid multiple months ' worth of PMI at $ XXXX v. what would have been expected if they had appropriately scheduled a routine appraisal. XXXX said she did not have the authority to do that. 

Today is XX/XX/XXXX and I have yet to receive a call or document notifying me that my request has been canceled.
