Product: Mortgage — Other mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, 2016 I paid my mortgage off in full to Ditech Financial, LLC. Attachedf is a letter from them acknowledging the payoff and the Account number is contained thereon. XX/XX/XXXX I called to inquire about the status of my escrow refund of {$1900.00}. I was advised by XXXX that a check had been cut and would be sent out shortly. On XXXX 2016 I called again about the escrow and was advised that the check had been cut and released on XXXX/XXXX/16. I again called on XXXX/XXXX/2016 and spoke to a XXXX . XXXX, who identified herself as a supervisor. She said that check XXXX had been issued on XX/XX/XXXX. I advised her that I had not received it. She wanted to cancel the check and send a new one and I refused that option as this would have restarted the process and allowed Ditech another 30 days to send a check. XXXX . XXXX agreed to have an electronic transfer made to my bank account. She told me this would take 5 days. As of today, XXXX XXXX my account has not been credited. 
I am of the opinion that Ditech is a rogue mortgage and collection agency who keeps other people 's money an undue length of time and only refunds money when threatened. It is this kind of company and lack of federal oversight that led to the last financial meltdown and will lead to the future bank and real estate meltdown. They are an unprincipled company that should be severely fined or put out of business. I encourage your office to log into XXXX and read the hundreds of negative feedback on this company.

Company: Debt Recovery Solutions, LLC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
A XXXX sales agent contacted me in XX/XX/XXXX to inquire as to whether or not I was interested in switching from my phone provider to XXXX. The agent explained that the promotion entailed XXXX free minutes a month to any country of my choice. I inquired if the promotion included the XXXX XXXX. The agent replied in the affirmative. I expressed my surprise at this and ask for confirmation that the XXXX XXXX was included in the promotion. The XXXX agent again replied " yes - the XXXX XXXX is included ''. I selected the XXXX XXXX as my country for the free minutes and indicated to the XXXX agent that this was my sole and only reason for accepting the promotion and offer to switch to XXXX. She congratulated me on my selection. 
In fact, the promotion did not include the XXXX XXXX and the bill for the XXXX month was {$800.00}. I called XXXX and the agent explained that the promotion in fact was never intended to cover the XXXX XXXX. I explained that I relied on the XXXX agent who misinformed me and cancelled my XXXX phone service. XXXX apologized for its error and indicated that I would not have to pay the bill. I received a credit for {$800.00} on my final bill. When I contacted XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, a representative confirmed that I owed {$0.00}. 
However, I recently discovered that XXXX has turned the bill over for collection, ( the name of the company is Debt Recovery Solutions ) which has negatively impacted my credit score and has prevented me from refinancing my mortgage. 
I have contacted the debt collection agency, which indicated to me that it has no information to support my assertion that the money is not owed, and that therefore, they will continue to try to collect the {$800.00}. 
I again contacted XXXX, which informed me that since they sold the debt, that there is nothing that they can do to assist me to resolve the matter. 
Thanks you for your assistance and keep up the good work that you do on behalf of the American people.

I was set up for a payment plan for my out of pocket expense that would be debited out of my checking account which i had to pay monthly.

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account — 
Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Our loan was recently transferred to GreenTree Servicing. In the transfer process, a {$1000.00} principal payment was lost and removed from our account. I sent all payment history verifying the payment was received by the previous provider and now GreenTree is holding the payment along with another {$1000.00} principal payment rather than applying it to the balance of our loan. I have contacted Greentree XXXX times with regard to this problem and have received no resolution. I believe this a a violation of our Loan Agreement per the following : '' I have the right to make payments of Principal at any time before they are due. A payment of Principal only is known as a " Prepayment. '' When I make a Prepayment, I will tell the Note Holder in writing that I am doing so. I may not designate a payment as a Prepayment if I have not made all the monthly payments due under this Note. 

I may make a full Prepayment of partial Prepayments without paying any Prepayment charge. The Note Holder will use my Prepayments to reduce the amount of Principal that I owe under this Note .... '' Are there any actions we can take to get them to apply the funds to reducing our principal?

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX17, my credit card information was compromised and used for fraudulent purchases. I was notified by account alerts about the activity. I immediately called Bank of America customer service about the activity on my account. They immediately took care of the situation and stated that a new card would be sent out. Needless to say, ever since that time, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY NEW CARD. I have made numerous phone calls to Bank of America, spoke with numerous customer service reps, verified all my information each time, so much so that I have lost count and I still have not received a new credit card. Instead, I keep getting letters in the mail about me needing to call them. As stated before, the first letter stated that I need to call and verify all my information. In which I did. Now the second letter dated XXXX XXXX, stating that they could not process my request for credit because of restricted access to my credit files with the credit bureaus. What does that have to do with XXXX in XXXX. I am NOT APPLYING FOR A NEW CREDIT CARD. I have had my account for years in which a lock on my credit bureau account has always been there. Way before my credit card was compromised. I have had it with talking to EVERYBODY and not getting anywhere. In addition to my account being compromised now I am being victimized by Bank of America. No one should ever have to go through this. But here I am with no new card.

Company: Ditech Financial LLC
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I am in the process of selling my home and have moved the closing date twice due to Ditech not having the title on my home. I have a little over XXXX acres and a doublewide and they are showing it as real property and have a deed of trust. The title company attempting to handle the purchase for the buyers and myself have attempted to speak with someone from Ditech since XXXX to explain the situation but they will not let us past customer service. They keep saying they will do a work order and send it in but when I call back as they will not return calls I am informed there is nothing they can do as they are not required to have a title. Here is the background. We purchased the doublewide and had it set up on property we also purchased and done the mortgage through XXXX who went out of business. XXXX XXXX XXXX took over the loans to my understanding. At a later date, Green Tree purchased my loan from XXXX XXXX XXXX and Green Tree later changed its name to Ditech. The title never exchanged hands from XXXX apparently as when I called XXXX XXXX XXXX they stated that they also showed the home as having a deed of trust as Ditech does. The XXXX company however has found an active title on file in the state of TN and it has XXXX listed as lienholder. I went to my local county clerk 's office and they were able to pull it up and show it to me with no problem so the title company is correct. Now the problem is, I 'm blocked from apparently selling my home because my current lender ( Ditech ) refuses to accept the fact that there is a title out there and all that is needed is for them to simply apply for and {$11.00} duplicate title!! Customer Service is not allowed to transfer calls to anyone we can explain this to that will understand what we are talking about. Even if I was to keep the home and pay it off I would not own it without the title!! I am about to loose the sell of my home over a senseless disrespect of customer service and {$11.00}. Please help ... Ditech is treating their customers wrong by not answering questions correcting, returning phone calls, nor assisting in matters that are their responsibilities.

Complaint narrative:
I am currently with Navient student loans. I re-consolidated my student loans with them with a total of XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I have contacted them about payment options that would be available to me since then multiple times. They constantly tell me that the payment option that I currently have would be the only option for me. Then they have put my account of forbearance a few times. Now it is XX/XX/XXXX my balance is {$31000.00}. I just made a payment of {$170.00} and my payoff balance has went up not down. I am making a monthly payment but it is not helping me at all. My balance keeps increasing with every payment that I make. They have me set to pay off my total in XX/XX/XXXX with paying XXXX every month at that time. 
Every time that I call them I am told that I am on the only payment option available to me and that if I can not make my payments the only option I am given is forbearance. I have not been late except when trying to find options from them. 
Now at this time the interest payments for my account is XXXX but my monthly payment is XXXX so I am leaving XXXX every month that keeps adding to my total. I am NOT making a difference now.
