  1. *************** Policy Purchase:On June 18, Chase purchased a new flood insurance policy that is over double the cost of my original policy, covering my home for $150,000, which is less than the previously insured $170,000 and Chase's own appraisal value of $172,000. This action was taken almost two weeks after I communicated my concerns via email, which Chase ignored.2. Escrow Mismanagement:Chase has been inconsistent with my escrow since taking over my mortgage, leading to increased costs and financial stress. I find it difficult at this point to trust the amount allocated to my escrow as analyzed by Chase.3. Breach of Fiduciary Duty:By not reinstating my original flood policy and forcing me into a more expensive, less beneficial policy, Chase has breached its fiduciary duty. This includes refusing to obtain the policy page from the insurer to make payment, despite immediate response to their notice.4. Lack of Communication and Transparency:Communication ceased after my request to reinstate the original policy. Chase failed to inform me of their actions, resulting in unexpected changes to my account and increased monthly payments by 10% from $912 to $1,012.5. Financial Hardship:I have communicated my extreme financial hardship to Chase on multiple occasions. However, Chase has continued to increase my financial burden, pushing me further into insolvency instead of providing assistance. My mortgage payment increases have caused significant distress, particularly while dealing with personal family matters, including the death of my brother and the care of my fragile parents.6. Negligence and Potential Racketeering:The process Chase has followed reeks of racketeering against borrowers. Expecting me to act as the intermediary rather than contacting my existing flood insurance directly defeats the purpose of escrow. It seems Chase may have a partnership with the flood insurance company they switched me to without my consent, given the circumstances.

  [If you do not say why you are rejecting the company's response, BBB must close your complaint.] 
  
  Complaint: 21992309
  
  I am rejecting this response because: 

  The company states it reached out to me, but I have not received any letter, neither mail or email.

  This is actually concerning as Chase responded through the **** portal, but not through BBB. I wonder why they would do that unless they know they're guilty of the fiduciary duty claimed ?? 

  The following is the response I provided on the **** portal:

  The response completely ignores the breach of fiduciary duty which is the most major concern. Chase has not provided any explanation for why the lender provided flood insurance was doubled from 773 to 1600 nor why the coverage is for 20k less than the original policy (and Chase's own property assessment of 170k).

   

  Additionally, I have not received any form of written communication, whether email or mail from Chase regarding this complaint. My insurance agency states they never received the calls about obtaining a renewal request. Regardless, the agency is just a third party as the insurance was provided through FEMAs own National *************** Program.

   

  Chase is continually proving time and time again a lack of work/moral ethics. It is clear there is racketeering going on with their "lender provided insurance." I live in a desert that receives virtually no rain. Even when it flooded in town last year, my property wasn't even close to any standing pools of water, or otherwise negatively impacted in any way. In no world does it make sense for my lender to cancel my federal policy to buy one for double the price through their own company and cover me for 150k (20k less than the bank's own assessed value of over 170k). It also reeks that my property insurance is less than 800 a year but now my flood policy is double that as well.

   

  Chase is purposely not addressing all of my claims because it knows how serious the breach of fiduciary duty is, especially with regard to the fact that the flood insurance program they changed me to is their own.

   

  Finally, it is extremely concerning and telling that Chase does not communicate to these serious allegations outside of phone calls. Matters as serious as these require WRITTEN documentation; thus Chase must be cognizant of its own guilt, since it is unable to put pertinent communications in some reviewable form.

  Regards,

  Chase Bank has not operated in good faith or ethical business practices. After multiple attempts, and over 20 communications, we have yet to receive our Lien Release document or Certificate of Satisfaction from Chase Bank. No outstanding balances are owed, and now we are in jeopardy of losing the present sale of our home because of this document. Since redeeming our property from the Sherrif Sale on April 12th, 2024, we have continuously reached out to Chase for the Lien Release document and have been unsuccessful. We have paid the verified judgment amount in full and received a redemption receipt from the Union ********************** of NJ. We have confirmed with their (Chase) attorney Powers and **** LLC (of *************) that their funds have been received. We have additionally confirmed with Chase internally that the funds have been received, yet we still have not received a Lien Release from Chase. We are extremely frustrated as well as disappointed by the actions or lack of action on Chase Bank. We have received no document as of this date and have been patient following their supposed process with no success. It makes no sense why we are not getting any answers, were just being told repeatedly itll take 3 to 5 business days or 5 to 7 business days, well its now going 60 plus business days ago with no success. If you pay for something in full and there is no outstanding balance you should be provided legal proof of that payment reflecting the completion of your obligation to the debtor and that you are no longer indebted to them. You should not be disregarded, ignored, or provided any plausible reason as to why, what is legally and rightfully yours, the document demonstrating freedom from a debt that is paid in full.

  Thank you for the follow-up and we appreciate your efforts in helping us resolve this matter. Although Chase has responded, they have provided us with incorrect documentation and were still not getting direct responses. Its frustrating being bounced back and forth and getting nowhere. Attached is the document they provided listing the incorrect mortgage, along with the incorrect book and page listing. The lien release provided by Chase from our initial complaint was from a previous mortgage (which had already been released via refinance). It has nothing to do with the current mortgagor ******************************* which is the lien release weve been seeking after redeeming the property following the foreclosure auction. This should be a simple process but has been dragged out for months at our expense. Multiple daily calls (at times for hours at a time with our attorney and Chase mortgage/foreclosure department without resolution. **** had to additionally pursue their lawyer ********************* for assistance with getting this matter resolved. All at unnecessary costs to us.
  
  Please forgive my delayed reply, unfortunately, this process has caused much strife and stress as it has taken a toll on my brothers health in which he experienced a stroke in July while trying to help get this frustrating ordeal behind us. The property has been our home since 1998, and after our parents death, we could never imagine it would be this difficult to get something like this resolved as long-standing customers of this institution. We simply want to get the correct documentation to move forward. You would think providing the correct account number, mortgagors information, and property address would not prove to be this difficult. 
  
  Attached is the Chase response letter/email along with the incorrect data. Additionally, *** included a recent reply from Chase's attorney, ********************* who handled the foreclosure and auction. The document confirms the redemption of our property, as we have stated to Chase, for us to receive an immediate lien release that shouldve been recorded as a Public Land Record with the Union County Clerks Office by now, since this transaction took place back in April 2024. 
  
  Thanks again for your assistance.

  I had a HELOC with Chase that was tied to a Chase checking account for automatic withdrawals. Everything was fine for 20 years, but last year Chase froze the checking account and did not notify me. Due to this my loan was reported to the credit bureaus as past due for the months of Jul, Aug, Sep, and Oct which ruined my credit. I have been trying since October to get Chase to correct my credit report as the issue was through no fault of my own. Despite numerous calls, faxes, and letters to Chase no can even tell me why the account was frozen, and refuse to make corrections for their mistake.If needed, I can provide the address and account number tied to the ******

  Complaint: 21923186
  
  I am rejecting this response because: Chase is still refusing to correct my credit report. Their current story is that my checking account ending in 2218 was placed into an inactive status on November 2, 2022. Deposits were made to this account on a monthly basis, and my home loan payments were automatically deducted from this account on a monthly basis, so if it was placed in an inactive status it was due to an error by Chase.

  I have attached the letter I received from Chase that they did not wish to share with the BBB because they know they are in the wrong and are hoping that I will drop this.

  We are writing to complain about a loan closing date problem with our mortgage lender. Our supposed loan-closing date was 5/8, but it didn't close; we were asked to return the following day for the closing. We are yet to receive our reimbursement, as it is supposed by the advertised stipulation clause on their website, because the holdup in our closing was not our fault and cost us a great deal of inconvenience with our family and our moving plans. According to their website, when you buy a new home or an investment property, you can be eligible for their Chase Closing Guarantee, which provides an on-time closing, or they'll pay you $20,000. We believe we are qualified and would like to seek help sorting out this matter.

  In about 2006 I had a HELOC with Chase, which I believe was paid off. Regardless, when the recession hit and everyone quit payment me, I filed bankruptcy and my loan(s) were discharged. They say I owe $250.00 on a line of credit that was $54,000 and which I believe was paid off anyway. Their "bill" correctly notes that the debt was (DISCHARGED) yet they are demanding payment for $250.00, thirteen years later. The discharge was in 2011! This is apparently an unethical attempt to rope me in to acknowledging the debt by trying to secure a payment, for which they did attach a payment coupon at the bottom of their bill with the amount of $250.00 which they allege is due and owing. I believe I have had a chase bank account since the discharge and a chase credit card. Recently, my elderly mother added me to her bank accounts at chase and this was when their "bills" started to arrive. I asked the bank about it when I went in with my mother, but she (bank worker) didn't know anything about it and I am not going to contact chase directly because they are apparently trying to get me to acknowledge the debt and begin paying on it. This seems to be very unethical and I believe the Attorney General needs to be advised. My mom is 93 and I will be 60 in August. I am not sure if that is one or two senior citizens they are trying to harass and scare and intimidate into paying. I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS DEBT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am attaching redacted copies of my discharge and their bill. I can provide original un-redacted copies but I do not want my personal information to be available to the public. Please do NOT kick my complaint as the public needs to be aware of these tactics and i have removed the request for payment for my time. My requested resolution of them acknowledging no debt owing and to stop contacting me should fit BBB's requirements for resolution.

  I am rejecting this response because: 

  CHASE has sent a communication in which Chase acknowledges that the undersigned consumer filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy protection on July 19, 2011, but didn’t reaffirm the HELOC before the bankruptcy was discharged on December 22, 2011. As a result, they say the consumer had no personal obligation to make payments; however, Chase says it retained their interest in "your" home as collateral for the HELOC. However, the home, I believe, was secured by a CHASE MORTGAGE!! Chase repossessed said home, upon which I placed some $120,000 down and which was left in good condition. Chase knew or should have known that it possessed the very property upon which the HELOC was placed. Chase acknowledges that this HELOC never was used. Chase, being the mortgagor and HELOC issuer had superior knowledge that said home had been repossessed by Chase, which incidentally, though I was promised cash for keys and paid out for mediation through the State of Nevada, never came into fruition. Chase acting like it didn’t know what was going on with the home is ironically both comical and sad. CHASE states that the draw period of the HELOC ended in August 2017. . . . and they confirm that a block was placed on the HELOC in May 2008, due to market conditions. Their excuse that because of the block this stopped any advances to be made on the HELOC as well as any service fees, but after the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy protection on July 19, 2011, the block was removed on July 26, 2011. They are saying that this caused the annual service fee started to be charged to the HELOC. What I want to know is WHY on EARTH would Chase put a block on an open line of credit and NOT inform me? WHY on EARTH would Chase then remove a block on an allegedly open line of credit AFTER the mortgagee had vacated the premises and filed for bankruptcy? WHY on EARTH would Chase then commence an annual service fee for a debt that was noticed in a Bankruptcy? This seems like it is straight from Alice in Wonderland. CHASE says that they were not reporting the HELOC activity on my credit report and because the chapter 7 Bankruptcy is more than seven years ago they are not reporting the actual HELOC account on my credit report. If Chase did ANYTHING to my now pristine credit, there WILL be all lawful actions taken to remedy any and all possible ramifications. CHASE says that because the property was used as collateral to secure the HELOC, I was required to inform them to close the HELOC and pay the recording fee of $42; however, Chase was informed of the Bankruptcy Chapter 7 proceedings. Any alleged debt was DISCHARGED in BANKRUPTCY (as Chase correctly notes), so any “recording fee” would be on Chase, not the alleged debtor. CHASE admits that they sent the enclosed payoff quote on June 30, 2024, with the amount needed to pay off the HELOC in full, but only now acknowledges attempting to collect a debt discharged in Bankruptcy. CHASE tried to posit that it was determined that upon filing the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, the block was supposed to remain on the HELOC to avoid advances and the annual service fees from being charged for $50; however, again Chase only now acknowledges that they believe they should not have removed whatever “block” they say they put on the fees. It took two (2) complaints for them to figure this out. CHASE concludes that for all those "excuses" they waived the total annual service fees for $250 that was charged on the HELOC and closed the HELOC and waived the recording fee for $42. HOW MANY OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE YOU TRIED TO BULLY INTO PAYING DEBT WHICH NEVER EXISTED? WHY DID YOU ONLY START CONTACTING ME AFTER MY 93 YEAR OLD MOTHER PUT MY NAME ON HER CHASE ACCOUNT? CHASE HAD MY ADDRESS FROM A BANK ACCOUNT AND CREDIT CARD I HAD WITH THEM IN APPROX. 2014, YET THEY DID NOT CONTACT ME. ADMIT IT, THIS APPEARS TO BE NOTHING MORE THAN A “SHAKE DOWN” OF CHASE TO RECOVER A NON-EXISTENT DEBT SOME 13 YEARS AFTER A DISCHARGE IN BANKRUPTCY. CHASE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF IT’S ACTIONS!!!! I HOPE OTHER INNOCENT CONSUMERS COME FORWARD.

  Paid escrow in full at the beginning of the year. The bank made a clerical error by applying it to principal instead. I tried 12 different times to call them and couldn't get past automated teller to talk to human being. Finally I had to go up to the bank to talk to a person about the error they made. They told me they would charge me $156 to correct their error. All payments are current and up to date but they are now trying to say that I am behind one payment plus fees.
