Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
In late-May I contacted  XXXX ,  XXXX  and TransUnion with the following request. " Please remove the following derogatory report from my credit report :   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   Date Reported -  XX/XX/XXXX  Payment Status - 120 Days Late Account Status - Derogatory Account Number -   XXXX   Account Type - Conventional real estate mortgage Original Loan Amount - {$260000.00} Date Account Opened -  XX/XX/XXXX  Date Account Closed -  XX/XX/XXXX  This property was sold via the HAFA program on a short sale. The short sale was approved by  XXXX  in writing on  XX/XX/XXXX  and the transaction was completed on XX/XX/XXXX .
Since it has been over 3 years from the date of sale this should no longer be reported as derogatory. This was not a foreclosure, even though we were informed by   XXXX   on XX/XX/XXXX  that they insist on using the foreclosure code even for short sales. Unlike other homowners who lived for years without paying their mortgage, we only missed 10 payments between  XX/XX/XXXX  to  XX/XX/XXXX , prior to the short sale, after the market crashed in  XXXX . This derogatory reporting should no longer be reported as derogatory. '' I initially contacted   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   who advised me that I needed to contact the credit reporting bureaus. It was interesting when I spoke with   XXXX   because they said that my account shows a foreclosure, not a short sale. I offered to provide evidence of the short sale, but they declined, stating that even a short sale is listed as a foreclosure.
<P/>
I was told by   XXXX   as well as licensed realtors that if I did a short sale it would be on my credit report as derogatory for three years. I feel I have either been lied to by both, or that   XXXX   XXXX   current practice is incorrect. I would really like to know rules or laws, if any, apply.

Company: Specialized Loan Servicing Holdings LLC
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I sent a response e-mail to XXXX ( Teller ID XXXX ) from Specialized Loan Servicing. ( see attached documents for the e-mail and the documents attached to the e-mail. ) In this e-mail I advised XXXX that I was in receipt of her letter dated XX/XX/XXXX regarding the available options to me for mortgage relief. 

I informed XXXX that I wanted Specialized Loan Servicing to be aware that my mortgage which is under the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) was part of a settlement agreement with the Department of Justice. With this said, said settlement agreement stated that XXXX XXXX XXXX must provide relief to consumers. Some of that relief would be in the form of principal reduction and loan modification that would result in numerous homeowners no longer being underwater on their mortgages and finally having substantial equity in their homes. 

While I was in negotiations with Specialized Loan Servicing they only thing they offered me was to modify my loan with a lower interest rate and putting all past dues amount, fees, etc. and the principal amount to the end of the loan as a balloon payment. Also, the terms of my loan where not extended they remained with the same end date as the original loan. 

XXXX  XXXX XXXX/XXXX XXXX / Specialized Loan Servicing have not complied with the Department of Justices Settlement Agreement of XX/XX/XXXX nor have they complied with responding to my first letter to them regarding the consumer relief that is owed to me under the said settlement agreement. They have violated their agreement with the Department of Justice and have failed to provide me with all the allowed relief for my mortgage loan. 

I request that they provide me with answers and with the consumer relief that is due to me under their agreement with the Department of Justice Settlement Agreement of XX/XX/XXXX. The relief is not only a lower interest rate, a loan modification but also principal reduction, forbearance or forgiveness of first lien. Please see in the attached document Page # 5 Consumer Relief for further information on the consumer relief that is to be provided to homeowners. 

Also be aware that Specialized Loan Servicing as the Servicer has to this date never provided me an answer to my original letter to them regarding this issue.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: VA
Product: Credit card
Issue: Delinquent account

Complaint:
I fell behind on my monthly payments on my Discover Card account due to some unanticipated expenses. When I was finally in a financial position to make payments again, I contacted them to make payment arrangements. The individual that I spoke offered me a settlement ( the account had been closed ) that would have me paying half the balance owed ( approx. account balance = {$13000.00} ), and as long as the monthly payments were met ( automatic withdrawals they scheduled ) they would credit the other half. At the time I was dealing with my mother 's health issues, and was relieved to have it taken care of. Unfortunately, I neglected to request a written copy of the agreement, and one was not sent to me. Additionally, since the account was closed, I was no longer receiving account statements and I had no access to my account. The payments were withdrawn as agreed though, totaling half of the account balance, and I thought all was well. Several months after the final payment though, Discover Card sent me correspondence stating that I still owed the other half of the balance on the account. I have disputed that, but Discover Card claims that they no longer have the recordings of my conversation with the representative that negotiated the agreement and scheduled the payments. Supposedly deleted after 90 days, even though the payments were scheduled to continue for not quite a year. They claim to have no records about the agreement that I made. The only " notes '' state that I rejected an agreement of {$7200.00} - which they extrapolate to mean that I agreed to pay the total account balance. Who would do that?! When I asked to speak to the individual who negotiated the agreement or his manager, since I distinctly remember the representative putting me on hold in order to get the agreement approved, they claim that information is not recorded in the account. They have sold the debt to a debt collection company, and now claim that the debt collection has " all '' the information about the account. Yet, when I disputed the debt, the debt collection company contacted Discover Card to request the records ( which were just copies of statements that were never sent to me ). I feel sure that there is a record of what actually transpired, either in the representative 's notes or his supervisor 's records, but Discover Card is refusing to provide any information. Are credit card companies required to maintain records of these types of transactions? And how does a consumer with a dispute compel a credit card company to provide all records related to an account? I recognize now that I should have requested a copy of the agreement. Some websites have even recommended not authorizing payments until a copy of the agreement has been received. I did not have that advice at the time, unfortunately. I have had no previous experience with this process, and was experiencing a tremendous amount of stress due to family issues ( and still are ) are my only excuses though.

Complaint:
I had an account with XXXX bank. A day after I deposted XXXX $ into the account I tried to log into it via online and it said to call customer service. When I called I was directed to a " supervisor ''. This supervisor told me that my account was closed because I was " committing fraud ''. When ask to clarify he said he did n't have to explain to me, and when I asked to speak to his supervisor he said that he did n't have to and proceeded to hang up on me. 
When I called back I talked to a gentleman named XXXX. After putting me on hold for ten minutes after explaining my previous phone call and also requesting to speak to a supervisor he proceeded again to tell me that he talked to " everyone '' and that they decided to close my account because I am committing fraud. When ask to clarify he said he could n't and also when asked to speak to a supervisor he also said he could n't. When I asked if there was a phone number of a complaint department he proceeded to put me on hold for another ten minutes before I hung up because it seems pointless to me. 
My bank account from XXXX was linked externally to an XXXX Account that is funded by my employer XXXX, no where else. So for them to I am committing fraud and to not give me any information, and also not letting me talk to a supervisor and being rude and hanging up on me I would like some answers please.
