Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
I HAVE APPLIED FOR HARDSHIP ASSISTANCE WITH MY FRAUDULENT SERVICER 'WELLS FARGO '' AND JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE MY INVESTOR AS WELL " LUCKY ME ''. ITS APPARENT THAT THEY CAN STILL XXXX FROM THEIR CLIENTELE BUT COULDN'T USE THAT MONEY TO BE THEM TRAINING ON CUSTOMER SERVICE OR A GUIDELINE HOW TO STAY WITHIN FEDERAL GUIDELINES. BUT THEN AGAIN WHEN THE GOVERNMENT ALLOWS WELLS FARGO TO STILL PRACTICE WITH A SLAP ON THE WRIST I GUESS ITS EASY TO SEE WHY THEY FEEL LIKE THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT. I WAS PREVIOUSLY DENIED FOR A MODIFICATION AND RESUBMITTED MY APPLICATION AGAIN DUE TO INCOME INCREASE AND WELLS FARGO MAKES YOU JUMP THROUGH THERE HURTLES TO SEE IF THEY FEEL LIKE YOU DESERVE TO BE REVIEWED FOR A HARDSHIP ASSISTANCE. THEY WONT EVEN OPEN UP A REVIEW, THEY MADE ME COMPLETE A FINANCIAL INTERVIEW WITH THIS SO CALLED RE-ENTRY TEAM AND IF THEY SAY NO THAT IS IT. I HAVE READ THE USDA GUIDELINES ON MODIFICATIONS AND I DO NOT SEE THAT I HAVE TO DO ANY SUCH THING. THIS IS WELLS FARGO 'S WAY TO DETER ANYONE FROM SAVING THEIR HOME. I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE NOTHING CHANGED THEY WILL NOT OPEN A REVIEW, SO I ASKED WHAT WAS THE INCOME THAT WAS USED FOR LAST REVIEW THAT THE UNDERWRITERS CALCULATED MY INCOME AT AND I WAS TOLD {$5900.00} SO I SAID WHAT IS THE INCOME THAT YOU ARE CALCULATING MY INCOME TODAY AND THEY SAID {$6400.00} WELL THAT SHOWS YOU A CHANGE. IF IT IS NOT THE SAME NUMBER THAN THERE IS A CHANGE AND THEY SAID NO WE WILL NOT OPEN UP A REVIEW. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY THAT THE SERVICER REFUSES TO REVIEW MY HARDSHIP ASSISTANCE REQUEST AND NOT FOLLOW MODIFICATION GUIDELINES. THERE IS NO FEDERAL GUIDELINE THAT STATES I HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH WELLS FARGO 'S OBSTACLES TO GET MY FILE REVIEWED.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
It started on XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX, also known as XXXX XXXX XXXX, about them reporting an account on my credit report and which I had no knowledge about. I mentioned I was a victim of identity theft in the past and continues to happen. They told me to contact the dealership who reported it to them, XXXX XXXX, who I have contacted. They claimed I had originally asked about a XXXX XXXX and my business was denied credit but did not state any vehicle was in my name or purchased. I called back XXXX XXXX, and they kept on insisting they could not do anything and I would have to contact the dealership. They also stated I would have to make payments towards this account, or my credit would be showing late payments. I have been making payments since due to my construction business and I use my personal credit to obtain loans and could not afford to allow any late payments on my credit. On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with a XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and stated he would put in a request to investigate this matter. I was told I would receive a Identity Theft Affidavit, which I filled out and notarized and faxed to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I have yet to hear anything back and this account is still reporting on my credit report. I will stop making these payments as for over 6 months now, XXXX XXXX has done nothing and ignoring my requests to remove this account from my credit report. 
I've also emailed XXXX XXXX a Federal Trade Commission Identity Theft Report, reported on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX police have also been notified of this situation. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called to check receipt of the Identity Theft Affidavit, i talked to a XXXX, who gave me an email address to send copies to as she did not see that in the system. XXXX hung up the phone on me after stating she would go look at what i emailed her. I have sent 2 emails to her since and no responses at all. I do not own a XXXX XXXX nor ever purchased one from XXXX XXXX.

Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC.
State: NY
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
With only 11 days prior to my next mortgage payment due date on XXXX XXXX, I receive a letter from HSBC, stating that my mortgage will no longer be serviced by " HSBC '' but will now be serviced by XXXX XXXX XXXX. Concerns listed below : 1 ) The letter warns that the mortgage loan number will change but it does not provide the new mortgage number. 

2 ) The letter also instructs me to make a payment via mail to XXXX XXXX XXXX by XXXX XXXX. 

3 ) The letter states that I should update my bill payment payee but my bank requires an account number and no account number is provided. 

4 ) Since a loan number is not provided how will the moneys be credited to my mortgage if I do mail in a payment to XXXX XXXX? 

5 ) The letter states that HSBC will not accept payments and if any are received they will be forwarded to XXXX through XXXX 2016. How and where will I see that the moneys have been credited in a timely fashion? 

6 ) When exactly will the new mortgage loan number be issued? 

7 ) Recently I received an escrow analyses from HSBC asking me for additional moneys to cover a shortage in my escrow account. This particular letter lists an option for paying the difference in XXXX lump sum or by having it spread over the 12 months of payments which is my preferred option. Why does my current statement bill me for an extra {$540.00} and refers to this amount of {$3000.00} as the " regular monthly payment ''? ACCORDING TO THE ESCROW ANALYSES THE REGULAR MONTHLY PAYMENT IS {$2500.00}. 

8 ) Lastly, I 'd like a current amortized statement inclusive of all payments sent to HSBC since the mortgage service changed hands to XXXX and indicating how many outstanding payments remain. 

Given the poor ratings XXXX receives on all consumer websites I am very concerned about this change. The number one complaint is that payments are not accepted because XXXX does not recognize the account numbers. 

What are my options and why is this change taking place without sufficient notice? Eleven days for a change of this magnitude is not sufficient time. Frankly the suddenness of this whole change is rather predatory. 

I requested from HSBC to revise the regular monthly payment to what was shown on the escrow analyses in the amount of {$2500.00} rather than the {$3000.00} shown on the XXXX XXXX statement which is incorrect. 

I spoke an HSBC representative who assured me the payments would be adjusted but I have not received a new statement to reflect this and I also have not received the letter from Nationstar informing me of the new account number.

Complaint:
This is the third year I have been kicked off IBR by FedLoan while they 'process ' my re-certification. In the meantime, I have been forced into either forebearance ( adding XXXX in interest/month + ineligibility for PSLF ) OR paying standard repayment ( doubling my monthly payment, which is unaffordable ). I have filed my paperwork on time every year, they have taken 3-6 months to process it. Twice placing me on the incorrect repayment plan - making me ineligible for PSLF, and costing me thousands of dollars while they corrected the plan the second time. FedLoan is also not correctly calculating my eligible payments toward PSLF. I have made on time payments for the last 10 years, while employed full-time at an eligible public employer. The first two years FedLoan had me in the wrong repayment plan ( I was unaware since I requested IBR, and was naive enough to think I was in the plan I had asked for ), so I lost two years of eligibility. I was able to change into the right plan in 2009, and have continued to pay on-time and have not changed jobs. I have refiled paperwork with them every year, confirming my continued employment and eligibility. However, FedLoan continues to show my eligible payments at XXXX - XXXX more to go - after almost 8 years of payments, how is that possible? I know I lost a couple of eligible payments when they put me in foreclosure for a month or two while they fixed the recertification they screwed up, but showing less than two years of eligible payments is insane. There are a lot more issues, but these are the highlights. Right now I am feeling very helpless as I am going into my third month of standard repayment as they 'expedite ' the IBR paperwork that I filed in XX/XX/XXXX. I can not afford to keep doing this, but am not going to take on thousands in accrued interest ( again ) for their inability to do their jobs. Please help. I am happy to provide documentation or any additional information as necessary. I know I am not alone stuck in the FedLoan incompetence trap.
