Product: Debt collection — Auto debt
Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Westlake Services, LLC
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
Westlake Financial has repeatedly called using different numbers from their call center in an attempt to mirror local numbers ; some of which are similar to my children 's school numbers. This stops me from working so I can answer the phone to see if family in my area code are OK, only to have it be a collection call. Additionally, on this last call, they never told me it was an attempt to collect a debt, did not disclose who they were prior to asking me for verification information, and then told me they were going to intentionally notate my account incorrectly because the woman didn't like my answer to a question. When asked why the account was 20 days late, I stated I didn't know because my wife pays it and she told me she made payment. She said, I'll notate that as non-responsive. I attempted to clarify it with her, and was promptly disconnected ( non-aggressive on both ends ). When I called to talk to a supervisor and asked for my notations, they told me I can't have them and to have an attorney contact them, and they will forward it over to their legal department.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I had fraud on my bank account with Fifth Third bank. I was given provisional credit and it was taken back months later due to an error on the bank behalf. I have submitted all the required paperwork only to hear I have to wait an additional 14 to 28 days before I can receive my funds back. 

This bank Fifth Third, has taken my ENTIRE paycheck for 2 week in a row, but I have to wait 14 to 28 days for a resolution that was not handle properly by Fifth Third Bank. 

As a consumer, this is not fair. The bank has insurance on their funds, unfortunately I don't have insurance on my funds, but I was under the impression this was a reputable bank. There has to be some sort of law to govern these kind of banking centers.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Hello, In XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment that was past the due date, and Loancare, my mortgage servicing company, reported to all three of the credit beaureaus as 30 days late. 

I was not 30 days late according to their own statements which they sent me and I have attached.The statements themselves say, and I circled this " include a late payment of {$100.00} if paid after XX/XX/XXXX ''. Meaning I am not late till after this date. My payment was not 30 days late, but marked as such. 

This 30 day late has significantly hurt my credit score and my ability to refinance my home. 

I attempted writing Loancare a letter, which is what they suggested I do after I called them and have not received a response. 

Lastly, Loancare took over the servicing of my account from XXXX XXXX XXXX at the end of XX/XX/XXXX just before this incident. This was a poor transition and I never received any information from Loancare instructing how payments and late payments would be handled going forward.
