Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: TX
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, I live at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX Texas, XXXX. Your company recently purchased my loan from XXXX ( Loan number XXXX ). I just got my first statement from you and there are a couple issues with it. So I called to get it straightened out with no success. So you are getting this email. 
I called at XXXX central time and spoke with a woman named XXXX I believe. I explained that my loan was an Equity line of credit and not a full loan and my statement had an Escrow payment. We pay the taxes our self on the house every year and pay the insurance ourselves monthly so there is nothing about our loan that qualifies as an Escrow item. The Escrow balance is - {$170.00}. I was told there was not answer for what this was and I just had to pay it. This is unacceptable Illegal and I will not stand for it. 
Secondly there is a {$31.00} fee on my statement, when I asked about this fee, I was told its a property inspection fee. No inspection has been done. Now one from your company or no one saying they represent you have come onto my property to ask to inspect the property. If this inspection was down I DEMAND to see it and the photographs that were taken. I want to know who gave them permission to access to my property. If no inspection has taken place then why am I being charged? If an inspection took place without my knowledge or consent that is trespassing and in Texas is not a very smart thing to do.

Product: Credit card

Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
On or about XX/XX/, I went to a CapitalOne Bank and made a cash payment of {$2900.00} which was the balance on my credit card ending in XXXX. The payment was applied to my credit card ending in XXXX. In spite of my efforts over a two day period, including walking back into the bank and asking them to reverse the charge which they refused to do, it took in excess of a week for CapitalOne to move the money to the correct account. I spoke with two different supervisors on the phone that said they were making notes of the mistakes and that I would not be charged any additional charges or interest. Now, they are charging me {$25.00} and said it doesn't matter because I would have had to have a XXXX balance for two months to avoid interest charges. I'm not a rocket scientist, but how do they charge interest on a XXXX balance? 

I feel this is deceptive and predatory and believe the charges are unjust.

Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
This complaint submission is in regards to an Unauthorized Inquiry reported by CITI BANK / CITI BANK NORTH AMERICA. I have made attempts to rectify this matter with them directly as they have now been unresponsive. I have not done any business nor have any revolving accounts with them. CITI BANK / CITI BANK NORTH AMERICA is currently in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC 1681. I spoke with a Supervisor in the Credit Services Dispute Department, who then gave me their Fax and Mailing address to forward them an Inquiry Validation letter. The Supervisor stated to send everything over and they will fax all correspondents to the number provided. A fax confirmation was received on both ends and I still haven't received a response since XX/XX/2019. It was confirmed through my fax machine that the Department had received the files ; however, after more then 15 days of notifying them, still no response. I specifically asked for proof of me agreeing with a signature or judgment by law stating I gave my legal consent to conduct any credit inquiry. I have never made any agreement with them nor plan to in the future due to the poor service I received to rectify this matter. I am requesting CITI BANK / CITI BANK NORTH AMERICA immediately remove me from their systems, remove the Hard Inquiry on me, and update all 3 major Credit Bureaus ( XXXX, XXXX, & XXXX ) on this action. At this point they have failed to provide any competent evidence or any legal obligation. Once again, CITI BANK / CITI BANK NORTH AMERICA is currently in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC 1681, and if this report is not updated immediately I will be taking legal actions.
