Consumer complaint received 2020-08-10
Company: EQUITY RESOURCES, INCORPORATED
State: NC
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Complaint:
Equity Resources XXXX put our mortgage in forbearance without any notification or our consent in XX/XX/XXXX. We were not aware they had done so until we attempted to refinance two of our homes in the second week of XXXX. We had been making monthly payments and when an ER representative reached out to us in XXXX, asking if we would like forbearance, we made it very clear that we did not. Not only did they indicate the loan was in forbearance, they reported it over 30 days late to the credit bureaus this month. We have since not been able to refinance our properties and we have been denied financing for other purchases. After calling Equity Resources again on XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed they were legally allowed to put our home in forbearance because its a XXXX XXXX loan. Then I was told it was put into forbearance, because we missed an XXXX payment which triggered the forbearance. I asked why the didnt call or inform us XXXX was missed because we would have paid it immediately ( which we did in XXXX as soon as we were made aware ) and they said it was already in forbearance at that point. When we asked to remove the forbearance in XXXX because we had never requested it, they reported late payments. On XX/XX/XXXX, they reported the loan 30-60 days late. Please see the attached XX/XX/XXXX statement indicating {$0.00} past due when the forbearance was reversed. Please also see the attached letter from ER dated XX/XX/XXXX. Its states either 1. We opted out of forbearance ( which, according to the CARES Act, means no late payments since XXXX should be reported late ) or 2. The loan is in current status with no missed payments ( which means no late payments should be reported ). They have acknowledged we did not ask for forbearance and assured me it would not cause a financial burden. The representative provided me with this information on XXXX and said the lender can call her at her personal extension so she could inform them that we didnt request a forbearance. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; XXXX Every potential lender has refused to call. Equity Resources has damaged my credit by reporting our mortgage in forbearance AND 30-60 days late, they have created a financial hardship and put our life on hold as we invest personal time struggling to fix their mess when we have been continuing to make payments and have been under the impression the account was in good standing.

I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax, XXXX and XXXX data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: NJ
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
In XXXX I missed a payment due to me and my family having XXXX and the daycare being shut down. My XXXX daughter ended up in the XXXX with it. When Newrez reached out to me I said that I could not pay at the moment and explained why. The representative said nothing but asked when I would be able to make a payment. A couple weeks later, going into the first week of XXXX the money was in the bank but it wasn't automatically withdrawn as it usually would be. I then spoke with them again and said I thought it would be drafted as pre usual. The representative told me that if you miss one payment it won't draft again and won't let you do automatic drafts for at least 6 months. I apologized and said I was not aware. I then explained again why I was late in the first place. That representative also offered no plans or anything. As of XXXX the 30 day late from XXXX hit my credit and dropped my rating about 100 points. So I reached out to the company saying that I'll pay the late fee ( which I did ) and any other fee that they might require and if they could remove the 30 day late. They said there was no one to talk to and that I had to email " loan servicing ''. To which I did on XX/XX/XXXX. They never replied or sent me anything, just an automatic reply that said someone would get back to me in 2-3 business days. I had to call back a few times throughout the month to ask what an update was, one young lady said I see it is in review on but maybe you should send some documentation, I said ok what should I send? She replied with, " whatever you have that could help ''. I said this is why I need to speak to them and she replied with, " unfortunately that departments only communication is through email '' Finally this week after I called again, they regular representative read in the notes that said that they will not take the 30day late off because it was not their fault and that I could have reached out to ask what option I could have. I explained to the representative that I explained my issue to XXXX separate people and nothing was offered. They said I could dispute through email again and I replied that no one emails me back and they said, well they will most likely not budge. I asked to talk to someone from the department because it was the only one I have and they said I could not talk to anyone and to send an email but it was probably not worth my time. I am now sending more emails as well. I have not deferred my payments or had any other issues. I pay on time and when I explained what was happening, no one offered any help but now want to punish me for not asking. As well as never responding to my emails but only allowing me to speak with people that have no authority to help me.
