Company: Selene Holdings LLC
State: CA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage
Sub-issue: Trying to communicate with the company to fix an issue related to modification, forbearance, short sale, deed-in-lieu, bankruptcy, or foreclosure

Complaint:
Selene Finance company is very hard to communicate with. I have called on several dates in XXXX, XXXX and now XX/XX/XXXX to get help. Selene does not have a direct customer service line. An individual has to go through many calls to various prompts that do not result in a customer service line to a person. I have even been given a prompt of the number 8, that does not work anywhere. Then I applied to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 2 times now and have been denied due to my being scared of foreclosure while waiting for them to respond. There is nothing that says that my delinquency must be maintained for months beyond what I applied for without any payments being made. 

My situation is that I am behind on my mortgage due to a sudden reduction on my income sources and I need to get some help while I bring my income back up. My main sources decreased. My child support was cut off entirely without any notification and the company that I work with changed how it does business and our payment structure that has left me reeling and back peddling to pay bills. In addition, I have had multiple bank mishaps this year, with the XXXX XXXX failure and compromised account on another. 

I need to contact them to verbally speak with my Loss Mitigation Specialist : XXXX XXXX, but the only number to call is the same one that does not connect to people. Please help me get some resolve. I do not wish to lose my home and the HAF program keeps refusing me because I was afraid of foreclosure and borrowed money from my children to pay XXXX payments in XXXX to bring the mortgage to 2 payments past and not 3, which would mean foreclosure will start. I am being denied because I did that when the rules that I read state that I must have been past due prior to XX/XX/2023.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
I sent a letter regarding inaccurate & unknown things on my credit report. To this day I have not received a response yet. I am being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. Under 15 U.S Code 1602 ( p ) - unauthorized use of my information. Under 15 U.S Code 1692j - Furnishing certain deceptive forms i am not participating in the collection of this alleged debt. Please cease and desist! So because it had been well over that time period I demand that these accounts get removed & deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the laws which were broken. My information was also impacted by the XXXX data breach & may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Complaint:
In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MI
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
It appears that XXXX XXXX has not only harmed my credit score but also initiated unauthorized payments, resulting in double charges for XXXX. They ceased reporting to Equifax between XX/XX/2023, and XX/XX/2023, while receiving two payments in XXXX, one of which was unauthorized despite them already receiving a payment. They received a payment on XX/XX/2023 for {$8.00}, then attempted to charge my card again on XX/XX/2023 without my consent, which raises concerns about their billing practices. 

This information surfaced after observing a negative impact on my credit score with Equifax, prompting me to investigate further. Despite my consistent payments, XXXX XXXX, a company purportedly assisting in credit building, appears to be engaging in fraudulent behavior, breaching consumer rights, double-charging, and causing a significant credit score drop of XXXX points. I intend to pursue arbitration, possessing evidence of all payments made, and will seek legal recourse. 

Moreover, I paid for an upgrade, which XXXX XXXX failed to apply to my account. This discrepancy in services rendered became evident when my credit score experienced a drastic decline. I paid for the upgrade on XX/XX/2023, while they ceased reporting to Equifax between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/2023, despite receiving a payment on XX/XX/2023. 

Additionally, there was no communication, as legally required, from either Equifax or XXXX XXXX informing me of their cessation of reporting or refusal to accept payments. Considering the two payments made in XXXX, they should have been allocated to XXXX. I will hold this company accountable, seeking restitution for their unauthorized charges, failure to provide services paid for, and their detrimental impact on my credit score, as mandated by consumer protection laws. 


Below Ive attached all documented proof of all charges and I will push charges to the extent.
