Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX, formerly XXXX reported my name to Transunion CB as delinquent in my mortgage payments to the sum of {$2500.00}. This is unfounded and clearly a fraudulent attempt at having me pay to the company more than is due to them, {$900.00} on a monthly basis for the life of the loan. 

Somewhere in mid XXXX XXXX bought my mortgage from XXXX XXXX XXXX. The agreement was to keep the terms fixed. I have not initiated any transaction and has been paying my property insurance and taxes without issues since releasing them from escrow with XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX. 

XXXX immediately started writing to me regarding refinancing the loan, something I had no plans to do as the payment amount works perfectly for my budget. At one point I attempted to make contact with XXXX regarding my husband 's death and change of information on the mortgage but was told by a XXXX agent, " When you are ready to refinance we will have a conversation ''. The very reason it became difficult to contact them, as they were initially hostile. XXXX, however, continued to make contact via mail regarding the urgency of refinancing. I finally returned one letter informing them of legal action if it continued. It stopped. 

The payment of {$900.00} has been the payment since the release from the original escrow in XXXX as stated prior. In XX/XX/XXXX, now XXXX XXXX, XXXX submitted to XXXX XXXX XXXX an increased amount for {$380.00} for a total of {$1200.00}, an unauthorized sum, for processing from my checking acct ( see attached ). The amount was paid to them as XXXX XXXX XXXX claimed it had no way of verifying if the amount was legitimate as they are only the processor of the fund, and I am opining here that this maybe the very reason XXXX sought to pull this off. ( All matters regarding this issue were clarified by XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX who made contact for that purpose, having been contacted by CFPB regarding a related complaint filed ). I have further asked XXXX to investigate the payment made on XX/XX/XXXX. 

In response to the XXXX contact, XXXX has refunded the money, {$1200.00} paid to XXXX XXXX, as a part of how this process works for the bank, per the XXXX agent. This means that XXXX XXXX would now be missing the payment for XXXX. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, I made an extra payment of {$900.00} to XXXX XXXX. This extra payment was supposed to fit in for XXXX which I initially thought was dropped by XXXX but has since learned that was not the case ( see attached ).
