Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I always make my payment online through my banks bill pay to my mortgage company Nationstar. On XXXX XXXX my bank XXXX XXXX sent a payment to Nationstar and it was rejected I did not know that. I received email form Nationstar that I was late and I called Nationstar to let them know my payment has already been sent to them my usual way by my bank and I see the debit in my account. I got XXXX XXXX on the phone XXXX way to confirm the payment. The customer service lady told me I should wait since it takes a couple of days for the payment to post. Yesterday XXXX XXXX, I noticed the credit in my account called XXXX XXXX and was told Nation Star has rejected the payment again XXXX times that was the reason for the credit and we went through verifying that my Nationstar account to be credited was correct. I called Nationstar and this time when I explained what XXXX XXXX said that Nationstar had rejected the payment twice, Nationstar proceeded to say the reason for the reject was because it has to be certified funds. I asked how certified does the funds has to be, cashiers check XXXX XXXX etc because I could not even make a payment on Nationstar website my account was blocked. I asked why was this not communicated to me earlier so I could have taken care of this sooner than now. I was told they send me mail. I said to them ever since my account was transferred to Nationstar all communications from us has been electronic why did they not send me such an important document the same way but chose to send it by paper mail. Bottom line is I have gone to XXXX XXXX today to make the payment I just do n't think I should be reported to the Bureaus as late when I made the effort to make a payment. If they had told me the XXXX time when I called that my payment was not going to be accepted that way because of the block on the account I could have taken care of the payment before it became late. I can not even refinance with Nationstar because of the late payment. 
If its XXXX intention for us to lose our home its not going to happen.

I must pay the towing company {$30.00} a day for storage also. The company charges me {$10.00} to speak to them in the phone and {$30.00} if I make a late payment. Then I will still continue to make monthly payments of {$450.00} for approximately 4 more months. I am working full time with the ability to get overtime but now I have no transportation. I will have ended up paying over {$30000.00} for a used vehicle. I am living paycheck to paycheck. I am also a single mother that has raised XXXX XXXX sons.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I paid off the balance of my Bank of America credit card right before a scheduled 10-day trip to XXXX, because I wanted to use the credit card for my purchases in XXXX. Just as I embarked on my travel, Bank of America reduced my credit limit by more than {$2000.00}, without any warning, and in the middle of my billing cycle. Bank of America deprived me of credit during my travel and they were totally indifferent to my appeals to them to restore my credit limit. As a result, I experienced a serious shortage of funds during my travel. I was traveling with my family during the time ; by taking away my credit, Bank of America did not merely inconvenience me -- they created a real crisis that endangered me and my family. 

I would not have paid off the balance on this credit card if I had known that they would take away the credit that I wanted to make available by a repayment. 

Bank of America did extend a " temporary authorization '' of {$500.00}, but this was wholly inadequate to pay for travel expenses during a 10-day trip to XXXX. I explained this to Bank of America and they were completely indifferent to the serious crisis that they inflicted by their credit reduction action.

Complaint narrative:
I began applying for a loan modification with my mortgagor, Select Portfolio Servicing on XXXX/XXXX/2015. I began submitting the documents they requested. I have submitted a hard ship letter, bank statements, lease agreements for the subject property, lease agreements for other properties I own. Each time I submit a requested document, I get a letter stating that they have received the info they requested and once they receive a complete application along with third party approvals they will send it to underwriting. Once I receive these notices I call, then they request some other document. This process has been going on since XXXX 2015 and now the want something more bank statement detailing the rents I am receiving. I had explained in the hardship letter that I was having trouble collecting rents consistently. They want copies of canceled checks when most of my tenants pay with cash or money orders. I do not take checks because the bounce then the bank charges me a fee plus take the money from my account. They seem as though they do not want to modify my loan. I wonder if they ever give loan modifications to their customers.

Complaint narrative:
Nationstar XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX CA XXXX See attached previous CFPB Complaint and supporting documents. 

We submitted a full-asking-price offer on XXXX/XXXX/15. ( yes we have been working on this with Nationstar for MONTHS ) Nationstar refused to consider the offer ( the offer with the pricing they required ), and instead forced the property through the AUCTION HOUSE THAT THEY DIRECT AND OWN. 

Nationstar ran this thru the auction AGAIN, there was no winning bid AGAIN, and now they are REFUSING to consider the offer of the buyer that has ALREADY COME UP TO THEIR ASKING PRICE. 

Why is the offer that we submitted not being looked at? This house is in a drug infested neighborhood. Our buyer even offered what their last XXXX came in at. Their own auction company cant get a buyer. It 's obvious what they really want is to just collect the 5 % fee and ensure the property goes to their group of shill buyers. They do n't care about their own investor or the client they are supposed to be servicing. 

Nationstar has been defrauding their investor since XXXX when they were presented with an offer that met their value. If Nationstar comes up with a 'new value ' it is only to cover for the fact that they are trying to wait long enough to find a buyer through their fraudulent auction process so they may profit the additional 5 %. 

WHEN IS THEIR ILLEGAL AUCTION-AND-POOL-OFXXXX GOING TO BE INVESTIGATED AND SHUT DOWN?

The bank BB & T has excessively charged me overdraft fees. I suspect that they reorder transactions at night for batch processing posting debits before credits. They then settle for the day before applying any credits. My bank statement can prove this.

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I am writing this letter to complain about services from Select Portfolio Servicing XXXX Inc. ( SPS ). They have been managing my load for the past couple of years and I have had a horrible experience with them. I have been asking the company to remove my home owner insurance from the escrow account since XXXX of 2014 and the failed to do so. I wrote letters and called many times and every time I heard a different and usually conflicting story. They deferred this request few times and never resolved the situation. Each time that I talked to a representative I heard a different story. It has been a frustrating experience for a simple request. I felt responsible to write this letter and complain so this type of behavior and services are prevented for other citizens. 
Thanks

Nationstar Mortgage They took over our loan in 2015. Immediately started calling and saying we were late on our payments. At this point they are reporting that we are 3 months behind but we have proof of payments. They sent us to research department, but could only contact through uploading documents. They said that their research is correct and we are late. They keep offering ( through letters ) to do a loan reset. When we actually talk to someone they deny it. They keep offering to assist us to get our loan up to date, but deny all options. They keep sending us letters of foreclosure.

I have a reverse mortgage through Champion mortgage. Champion mortgage paid property taxes on my behalf. In turn, I sent a payment to Champion mortgage in full plus extra to cover the property taxes paid on my behalf. Several months later, i was informed by Champion mortgage my payment was short by {$6.00} and that large late had accrued on my account. My discrepancy is that I paid up and above the payment amount requested on the bill I received and should not be accruing any late fees.

Complaint narrative:
I fell behind in my mortgage payments and was contacted last XXXX by a credit associate with my mortgage company. She assisted me in beginning the modification program. Once I began the process, my associate was changed. I have now submitted the modification paperwork no less than 6 ( six ) times since XXXX, and each time there is a reason why the modification can not be completed. The most recent time I submitted the documents, I double and triple checked the paperwork to be sure that it was accurate, complete, and signed in black. It was. Once I contacted the mortgage company ( my rep does not follow-up on her accounts ) this morning, I was informed that the paperwork was missing the Compliance Agreement page. I vehemently disagreed and asked to speak to the manager. The manager was also unable to verbalize a resolution that was acceptable, and said that he would contact me Monday, as the Modification department did not work weekends. 
Once I was able to review the copies that I had made of the documents that I sent to the mortgage company, I realized that either someone in the scanning department deliberately left a page out, or whoever received the document discarded or 'lost ' the Compliance Agreement ' page. This process has been going on for seven months. I think the mortgage company wants me to not complete modification and to leave my home.

Complaint narrative:
I inherited Nationstar mortgage company- they were not who I initially financed my home with. I have had problems with them since the first month they took over my loan. The first thing was, I have a XXXX. I am in and out of doctor offices, etc. I had paid all my payments on time until one summer when I was able to pay only half and worked out an arrangement to pay other half by end of month. No one ever explained to me that that money would go into a " suspense account '' and would NOT be applied to what I owed! When I went to pay off the months balance, I was given the entire months rate PLUS the next month. When I asked what happened to the half I had already paid, they then explained the suspense count but REFUSED to let it be counted toward what I owed- so in the meantime, they were racking up on late fees and increased interest rates. It has been one problem after another, but this last issue is IT for me- XXXX. I go on XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX. Although my life has literally been turned upside down, I have STILL tried, to the best of my ability, to pay my bills. I made a payment to Nationstar on XX/XX/XXXX and authorized that payment to be taken from MY bank account ( which should have been the ONLY account on file since I pay for this house ), however, my husband and I keep separate accounts and he had made ONE payment for me when I was very sick but did NOT approve keeping his information. Nationstar deducted the mortgage out of his account rather than mine WITHOUT his authorization!!!!! Whether his information was in their system or not ( which it should n't have been since he did n't give them permission )!! I have attempted to rectify this situation but the people you speak with there are rude, disrespectful, uncaring and unwilling to help you WORK OUT A PLAN SO YOU DONT LOSE YOUR HOME- especially when you have been a paying customer for all of these years other than when you are hospitalized or at home so sick that you ca n't even get out of bed- I am tired of this company and their practices and someone needs to look into what they charge their customers and what they actually do with money paid and how they keep other people 's account information on file so they can use it at anytime they please!!!!

Company: BB&T CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I applied for and received a mortgage in XXXX from BB & T. At the time they asked if I would like a free checking account. I decided I could make use of a different bank having an account, so I accepted the free checking account. I paid the mortgage faithfully. I sold my home in XXXX XXXX and paid off the mortgage. I did not close the checking account. I rented a new place, I found a new home, I moved my furniture, I remodeled and redecorated. This is to explain why I did not sit down and read my monthly statements from an account that never had any transactions from me in 5 months. Finally I looked at the account statements from BB & T ( who had never charged anything for an account with XXXX dollars in it ) to find out they were now charging me $ XXXX!!! maintenance on an account I wrote XXXX checks per year out of. 
Agast, I went to my local branch and they credited me back on 3 of the 5 months worth of unannounced maintenance fees. I feel this is intentional fraud. They know someone is in transition when they sell a home and pay off a mortgage. They realize they are not likely to remember the fine print in the mortgage they signed 4 years earlier. This fine print in the mortgage was the explanation I was given when I went to the local branch. 
They said someone would call and talk to me about the other 2 months worth of fees {$60.00}. 
But no one even attempted to call me or refund the ill gotten gains.
